WashingtOn Letter.
a funny thing occurred at wedding here this
week which caused the bridal party great NOR
tifcation As the groom got out of the carriage
to enter the church he gave his hat to the foot
that il WAS intended that he should staY bv his
employer and see him through followed closely
behind the bridal party as they marched up the
aisle During tie ceremony he stood conspicu-
ously by the groon's side with two plug hats in
his hands, and when the benediction was pro-
bounced he followed the bridal party down the
aisle again, close to his masters heels The
spectators thought it was some new caper that
had been introduced, and if the family had kept
quiet about it the idea would have been iif4i
tated, and no wedding would have been complete
withouta groom in livery with two plug hats,
but their modification was great that they
felt called upon to explain that the man was
stupid and did not understand that he was to re-
nain in the vestibule.

Important discoveries have recently been made
in Egypt the Holy Land and Syria. AT a place
called Eikmeen, in Upper Egypt Professor Mas
pero has come upon huge metropolis, OF when
hitherto there was no knowledge. In five tombs
or catacombs he found 120 mummies After
three hours examination of the neighborhood he
discovered 100 more similar sepulchers, all in
tact. 1t is concluded that Eikmeen must con-
tain FIVE or six thousand embalmed dead, and
that, although not perhaps a very large pro
portion of the mummies may be of any great ms
torical value there will be quite harvest OF
papyri. jewels and funeral treasures of tvarious
kinds The place is identical with the
ancient khemnis-the Panopois of the
Greeks. The discoveries made in Syria
and Palestine within the last year or two have
been of equal interest. Among these promi-

A Locomotive Eight Inches Long.

GieHEville IN. Y. Letter.
Mr., Henry Case, of Oil City, Pa, who recent
ly moved here, has just completed the smallest
locomotive ever made, it being but eight inches
long and weighing but pound and half. Three
years, counting ten hours days labor, have
been devoted to its construction. There are
585 screws in the engine. The steam gauge is
but one fourth of an inch in diameter; the pump
throws but one drop of water every stroke; the
check valves in the pump are one-sixteenth of
an inch in diameter; the headlight is only half
an inch in width seven-eights of an inch long.
The space in the lamp is so small that it is almost
impossible TO get enough oxygen in it to support
the combustion. The fire is kindled by using d
gill of alcohol. which runs the engine for half an
hour The stroke of the cylinder is inch,
bore fve-sxteenths; the heater pipe is only the
thirty second part of an inch in diameter There
are seven fiues in the boiler. The width apf the
track is one and fve-eighths inch, and it makes
four and three-quarters inches distance each
revolution. The valve seat is but one sixty
fourth of an inch wide. The driving wheels are
one and one-half inch in diameter; the front
truck wheels one-half inch and those of the ten
der are the same size The tender is but three
and three quarters inches long, two and one
eighth inches WIDE and two inches high The
metals used in its construction are brass, solid
silver, gold and steel.

pay from forty dollars to fifty. The diamond
back terripin stands way ahead of anything else
evor devised created to tickle an epicureans
palate 1t is the most delicate and the most ex-
pensive dish that appears on an American table.
No man who is good eater would give a dinner
party without it. The terrapin and canvas back
must be on table that makes any pretensions
to correctness. 1t would take about two
big terrapin to go with the rest Of the bill of
fare for a dinner of from ten to twelve covers,
which would make an extra item of about ten
dollars The demand is increasing and they are
getting more expensive every year 1t used to
be peculiarly Southern dish, but now scarcely
a Northern or Eastern man comes here that
does not call for terrapin.
THE best market in the world for them now
is in New York. The only trouble is there can't
be enough had to supply the demand. The appe-

more. There is only one recognized way of pre-

A REMARKABLE STONE.
One of the Treasures of the British Empire
in Westminster Abbey.


Oakland Vidette.
In Westminster Abbey there is a very wonder
full stone 1t is claimed by some distinguished
scholars and psychologists as the very stone
upon which Jacob pillowed his head when he
dreamed his illustrious dream and saw a shad-
owy ladder extended from earth to heaven with
the angels ascending and descending upon it.
1t is the palladium of the great British Empire
There is not money enough in all Europe to buy
it; there is no continental army strong enough
to take it by force.
The coronation chair is a large, old fashioned
chair-that is all In place of casters it is sup
ported by four carved lioIs with faces outward
About nine inches from the floor there is a bot
tom-board; between the seat and this board the
precious stone is kept In its present shape it IS
an oblong square, some twenty-five inches
long, thirteen inches broad and eleven
inches deep. 1t is of Il bluish, steel-like color.

there is an iron ring, much Worn and rusted
The stone looks old and is cracking to pieces
and would long since have been destroyed if it
had not been carefully preserved In this one
place it has rested for five hundred and ninety
years, and during this long period it has been
only once removed. 1t was once taken out that
Cromwell might be installed Lord Protector ON

consciously he was fulfilling the propheey-"The

is the most important, sacred and venerated as
well as influential inanimate object or thing in

In 1906 King Edward took this historic stone
from John Balol, king of the Scots and ever
since that time England has been its guardian.
In that war the English took from the Scots
more than that, for they plundered them of
money records and reSalia. In the treaty of
Northampton. held in 1928, it was decided that
England should return to the Scots what she had
stolen. She restored the records and regalia.
but held on to the ragged stone, which Scotland
wanted back most of all.
The late Dean Stanley said of this precious
relic of one primeval monument which binds
together the whole empire:
The iron rings, the battered surface the

Let the morrow bear its own;
Ii the morning sky be pleasant.
Why the coming night bclnoan!
If the darkened Heavens lower,
Wrap thy cloak around thy form;
Though the tempest rise in power,
God is mightier than the storm.
Steadfast faith and hope mistaken,
Animate the trusting breast,
Step by step the journeys taken.
Nearer to the land of rest.
An unseen the Master walketh,
BY the toiling servants side;
And eonsoling words He talketh,
While His hands uphold and guide;
Grief nor pain nor any sorrow,
Bends thy breast to Him unknown;
He to-day, and He tomorrow,
Grace sufficient gives His own;
Holy strivings nerve and strengthen;
Long endurance wins the crown;
When the evening shadows lengthen;
Thou shalt lay thy burdens down"
