TRAVELS OF MUMMY.-Egypt fnr-
nishes the last bit of railroad humor
Prof. Masperro had discovered the
mummy Of King Merenfa. The Arabs
had plundered his tomb, taken him out
of his sarcOphagus, and even robbed
him of the numerous folds of cloth in
which mummies are wrapped. and the
body lay on the ground like stick Of
dry wood. To get it to the museum al
BOulak was the task of the Professor,
and for this purpose 1t was put across
the back of donkey and 30 carried to
the nearest railroad station at Bedres-
chin. The person in charge wished to
take him as baggage. But ON the Egyp-
tian railroads there is not only charge
for baggage, but the charge is not ac-
curding to weight but according to
class. How to classify the dead king
b0therod tho station agent. After rum
maging all his tariffs, new and old, and
finding "mummies" in none Of the
classes, he finally threw down his books
and said:
"What is the thing good for. anyhow?
What ia it made OFF,
When the museum people told him it
was man, he said:
~very we'll; if it IL man, he must pay
for his ticket;r and, in fact, they were
to buy a ticket for His Saint
cd Majesty King Merenra, and, it Is said
that, out Of respect to his rank they
bought q first-class ticket for him. But
this was not the end of it. At Cairo the
was put into carriage and
started for the museum. Arriving at a
bridge toll was demanded, and the gate
keeper asked what was in the carriage.
