Among the royal mummies recently
discovered in Egypt, with all the mortu-
airy APPENDICES and inscriptions, are the
bodies of Thutmes ILL., and Rameses III.
Think of it. Here is the body, in an ex-
cellent state of preservation, of Thut-
mes, the monarch who erected the ODE
lisk that is now set up on the Thames
embankment in London, and of Ra-
meses, the monarch whose name and
fame are perpetuated in the inscriptions
on that monument The account of the
discovery says that "even the flowers
and garlands which were placed in their
collins may be seen encircling the masks
which cover the faces of the deceased
just as they were left by the mourners
over three thousand years ago."
This great collection was found in a
gallery two hundred feet long, "filled
with relics of the Thebian dynasties -
relics that had been removed from their
| regular resting places in tombs and tenn
pies by the priests, and concealed in this
seer ct subterranean gallery to preserve
them against the sacrilege of some foreign
invader. Included in the discovery are
300 mortuary statues, bearing royal
car-touches and inscriptions, fifteen
enormous wigs, and above all, a vast
leathern tent Gin truly wonderful state
of preservation. 1t is covered with
hieroglyphs most carefully embroidered
in red, green, and yellow leather the
colors are quite fresh and bright, and the
whole workmanship is described as beau
tiful. But more interesting and valuable
than all the rest was discovery of
papyri-at least it might be so presumed,
for they had not yet been unrolled. Four
of these papyri were found in secret
gallery, hewn in the solid rock of the
cliffs of the Lybian Mountains. The
papyri are all in perfect state of preser-
walton. The largest is about sixteen
inches wide, and its length, when un-
rolled is estimated from one hundred to
one hundred and forty feet, and it is ele-
gantly colored and illuminated. Great
interest is manifested to know the con-
tents of these ancient 'creeds and what
light they may throw on the hitherto un-
discovered secrets of the world Boston

and on the battlefield. 1t was in the
latter service that she accomplished the
greatest amount of good and displayed
heroism and devotion to her work that
have not been excelled in the annals of
war. Often in the very thickest of the
fight she never finched for a moment
in her noble work of love. Seeking out
the wounded who had been overlooked
or not yet reached by the surgeons, she
bound up their wounds with the skill
and promptness of practical surgeon.
On one such occasion the soldier whose
wound she was dressing was struck by
shell and literally torn to pieces.
Her dress was often pierced by bull
lets, put she fortunately escaped unhurt
except slight scratch on the left hand
received at Charlottesville.
She unquestionably saved the lives of
many hundreds of wounded men who
would have persisted but for her timely
assistance
On the march she usually rode pony,
but at night by the bivouac she wrapped
herself in her blanket and slept upon
the ground with all the hardihood of the
veteran soldier. Yet, although sharing
thus all the exposures and hardships OF
the common soldiers, with whom she
freely mingled, she always maintained
the modest reserve and delicacy OF the
true lady. The soldiers held her in the
highest estimation, not one of whom
but would have freely periled his life in
her defence. She was presented with
the Kearney Cross of the Legion of
Honor, by Gen. Birney himself, in recog-
milton of her noble services and bravery.
All this service was performed with.
out any pay from any source whatever.
Nor has the Government since In any
way recognized or paid her for her work.
Many of the heroines of history,
whose names have been celebrated In
song and story, were lifted int notori-
ETY. by one or two, or at most II few,
deeds of daring and sacrifice. But hers
was record of four years of daring
suffering and self-sacrifce, in which she
displayed on more than score of bat
tletields the highest qualities of exalted
courage.
Her name and deeds will deserve To
be embalmed IN history along with the
gallant deeds and heroic devotion of
Michigan men, not one of whom but
feels proud of the fact that he had high
honor to stand by her side in the ranks
of the grand army of the republic

A VEGETABLE bird-charmer is a little
5-year-old child of Mount Blanchard,
Montana. The little girl was playing
out in the door-yard among a bevy of
birds, and when she spoke to them
they would come and light upon her,
twittering with the utmost glee. On
taking them in her hands and stroking
them, the birds, instead trying to get
away from their fair captor, seemed to
be highly pleased, and when let loose
would fly away short distance and i'm
mediately return to the child again.
She then took several of them into the
house to show her mother, who, think
ing she might hurt them, took the birds
and put them out of doors but nc
sooner was the door opened than the
birds flew into the room and lit upon
the girls head and began to chirp.

DUBLIN is a captured city. From Il

DUBLIN is captured city. From the
London journals we learn that it
contains over 5000 soldiers-cavalry,
artillery and infantry = beside about
1000 police, who are soldiers in all but
name, being armed with rifles, swords
and revolvers. There are 1000 horses
and sixteen guns. Every sentinel is
provided with twenty rounds of ball
cartridge. Troops in garrison are con-
fined to barracks, ready to turn out at a
moments notice. Five military magis-
trates and three civil magistrates have
been specially appointed, and the city
has been divided into three districts, for
the more prompt administration of jus.
tice. All these arrangements indicate
the serious state of affairs and the strong
resolution of the Government.

How DO You Keep Your Room (,

A look into the chamber of boy or
girl will give one an idea what kind of
man or woman he or she will probably
become. A boy who keeps his clothes
hung up neatly, or a girl whose room is
clean always, will be very apt to make a
successful man or woman. Order and
neatness are essential to our comfort as
well as to that of others about us. A
boy who throws down his cap or boots
anywhere will never keep his accounts
in shape, will do things in slovenly,
careless way, and not be long wanted in
any position. A girl who does not make
her bed till after dinner, and she should
always make it herself rather than have
a servant do it, and throws her dress or
bonnet down in chair, will make poor
wife In nine cases out of ten. If the
world could see how girl keeps her
dressing-room, some unhappy marriages
would be neutrality-suspicious..

Sleep-Waking.

The most remarkable instances Of
somnambulism are those in which the
somnambulist works or writes with in

to a table, took pen and ink and wrote
portions of sermons. 1t was not mere
mechanical work-he would make fire.

mar and syntax of his composition. An
opaque screen was placed between his
eyes and the paper, but he wrote just the
same. In another case, young poet,
not having finished some stanzas before
he went to bed, rose in the night, went
to his table, and finished them so much
to his satisfaction that he applauded his
own genius and taste; in the morning he
remembered nothing of the matter.
DIR. Carpenter mentions the instance
of man who wrote accurately in his
sleep, placing his words at good dis
tances apart, dotting every i and cross
ing everyt.
A young collegian got out of bed
asleep, lit a candle, sat down to table,
took pen and paper, wrote out some
geometrical and algebraic problems, ex-
tinguished the light and went to bed
again-his eyes closed all the time.
A learned professor set his pupils to
work out on a very intricate calculation.
One of them went to bed with his mind
full of the subject, and in the morning
was not little surprised to find his table
covered with sheets of paper on which
the calculation was fully and satisfactor-
lily developed. The writing was in his
own hand; he had risen in the night and
done il while asleep.

A farmers boy was once seen to listen
with great attention to an address. At
the close of the next week his fellow
servants saw him cleaning the boots on
Saturday evening. They asked him
why he did not do them as usual on Sun
day morning. He replied: "Why, have
you forgotten what was said last Sunday
by the parson? He told us that we
ought not to do any work on the Lords
Day, which could be done as well on
Saturday and can't clean the boots
now as well as tomorrow ?"-Children's

Far away in the most northern part
of Siberia traveller named Pallas
found race of the smallest lawmakers
in the world. Some of them live singly
and some In families, and they dwell
either in houses which they make for
themselves in the trunks of old trees, or
villages, as we may call them, made in
the clefts of the rocks but their settle
ments are always close to some open
space in the forest where the grass
grows greenest and freshest. These
little people" are none of them much
taller than rabbit, but they are very
industrious and clever. In the middle
of August they begin to collect hay,
choosing only the very sweetest and
softest grass and q few bitter herbs
which they mix with it, most likely to
make it more wholesome; they spread
this out to dry on the lodges of rock,
and in September stack it, and for fear
of the severe winter they make an un-
foreground passage from the hay-stack
to their dwellings. Sometimes these
stacks of hay are as high as an ordinary
man, and twenty-four feet round. You
will be surprised when 1 tell you that
these little haymakers, or hay-storers-
for they are called both-are small ami
mails of the hare tribe, and called rat
hares. Poor things they are often de-
prived OF the fruits of their industry,
for the sable-hunters keep a sharp look
out for this fodder and carry il off for
their horses; and the peasants also take
it away, leaving the poor little hares to
starve in spite of their industry.

various tracts put in the land at a fair
valuation and money enough to improve
it, charging s per cent. on the whole in
vestment. The i'm. ortant provision was
that, whenever the profits reach, over
and above the per cent. a year, a sum
sufficient to repay the entire outlay, half
the land should be his. At the time it
was not supposed that much, if any more
than the promised percentage could be
derived from the farm, but the crops

serious mishap will prevent Dalrymple
from realizing his hopes within two or
three years.
