but the new conner seemed In no haste
to pass, and for an instant both stood
silently, until her name, spoken In terms
which filed every fiber of her heart,
caused her to raise her eyes with a sud-
den start. of glad surprise; for there,
before her, IN health and strength stood
the man she mourned as dead. Joy
seldom kills, but the sudden reaction
of feeling left her faint and weak, and
she would have fallen had not his arm
lent a willing support
An half hour later. seated together
IN a private parlor of an hotel, when
their mutual explanations we're over,
she believed herself to be the happiest
woman in all the world. So sudden,
so unexpected had this happiness come
that she almost feared lest it should
slip again from her grasp, and her heart
went up to heaven in earnest thanks
giving for this great blessing while she
humbly prayed to be made worthy of
IT..
The mistake which had caused her SO
much sorrow was occasioned by her
ignorance of the fact that Albert Mar
shall had a cousin bearing the same
lame as himself, an officer in a western
regiment, who had received his death
wound IN the same battle from which
he had escaped unhurt. III reading
the name Virginia had never stopped
to see that the regiment was not the
n for which she was looking; but she
never regretted the mistake which had
so effectually cured her Of her pride
and selfishness, which had been the
curse of her life.

A Great Fir of Ancient Records In Egypt.

More than $1,000 fragments of an
cient records have been dug up from
the sands of Egypt, where they have
rested embalmed during nine centuries,
not very much the worse for their inter-
ment. The history of these venerable
documents Is remarkable. Prof. Kara
back supposes that they must at n
time have formed part of the public
archives of Ell Fayoum, and that the
bulk Of those archives persisted in a
great conhagration, such as destroyed
the great library at Alexandria. The
fellaheen Of those days to have
risen In revolt against their natural
enemy, the tax gatherer. and possibly
they associated together the tax c0llec-
tor and the archives as emblems Of the
same extorti0n.
If Prof. Karabacek is right, they set
fire to El Fayoum and its documentary
treasures without conjunction, and
these 10000 papyri and parchments,
some of them charred by the fire, alone
remain OF the collection. Prof. Kara
back and his coadJutors VIII have their
hands full OF work for some time to
come IN classifying what has come to
their hands. The professor makes a
preliminary division Of the manuscripts
into groups comprising eleven different
languages, more than one of which will
be absolutely new to the well-educated
reader. 1t is not surprising to learn
that the key for deeiphering those OF
the manuscripts which are sly LED Nero
itic- Ethiopean has yet to be discovered.
Merely to decipher those fragments
which are written in the more familiar
tongues of Coptic, Hebrew, Syriac, Per-
sian and Arabian requires polyglot ac-
complishments far from common even
among German scholars.
The very papyri on which most Of
these records are written are standing
evidences of the oppression to which
the feilah was subjected. The manu-
facture and sale of papyrus was a State
monopoly, and it ended, as monopolies
often do, in driving trade elsewhere.
The day when paper began to take the
place Of the papyrus plant was perhaps
the seal of the commercial decline OF
Egypt. But that all refinement was
not crushed out of the Egyptians who
peopled FL Fayoum, may be inferred
from the numerous fragments of man.
uscripts of authors comprised IN the
collection. Among them is a unique
specimen of ancient manuscripts
fragment of Thucydides, supposed to be
earlier by seven centuries than the earl.
lest extant manuscript Of that author.
Altogether, the Ell Fayonm archives
may be expected to prove one of the
most wonderful discoveries in this age
of discoveries.

What higher Education Means.

When a higher education is deman-
ded, for any class of personals wom-
emit means that it has become desir.
able to train their faculties for mor
dIficnlt work than that additionally
assigned to them, and also that 1t is
desirable to enable them to get more
enjoyment out of any work that they
do. The necessary e~orrelative of the
possession of powers Is the opportunity
for their exercise. The existence of a
larger class of effectively educated
women must increase their demand fol-
a larger share in that part of the
worlds work which requires trained
intelligence. OF this, literature and
other art are one, and only one, por-
ton. The work Of the professions. OF
the upper regions of industry, COM
MERGE and finance, the work of scien-
ti6c and of political life, is the work
appropriate to the in~telligences which
have proved themselves equal to a
course of training at once complex and
severe. A person destined to receive
a superior edutaJion is expected to de-
velop more vigorous mental force, to
have a larger mental horizon, to han
die more complex masses of ideas, than
another. From the beginning, there
fore, he must not merely receive useful
information, but be %habitpated to per-
form difficult mental operations, for
only in this way can the sum of mental
power be increased. The order, ar
rangement and sequence of the ideas he
acquires, must be carefully planned as
is the selection of the ideas themselves,
because uponthis order and internal pro-
portion his mental horizon depends.
He must be trained in feats OF sus
taine1 attention, and in the collocation
and association of elementary ideas
into complex combinations. Since
ideas are distractions from sense-per
ceptions, he must be exercled in the
acquisition of accurate. rapid, far
reaching, and delicate sense-percep-
lions, in their memorizatlon, and in
the representative imagination which
may recall them at will, and be able to
abstract fir m them, more or less re-
motely ideas. Habits of association of
ideas must be formed, and of pleasure
in their contemplation. And very early
must be offered TO the child problems
to be solved, either by purely mental
exertion, o. by that combined with
mental labor.

How Steel Pens Are Made.

First the steel is rolled into big
sheets. This is cut into strips about
three inches wide. These strips are
annealed; that is. they are heated to a
red heat and permitted to cool very
gradually, SO that the brittleness is all
removed and the steel i, soft enough to
be easily worked. Then the strips are
again rolled to the required thickness,
or, rather, thinness, Tor the average
steel pen is not thicker than sheet of
thin letter paper. Next, the blank pen
Is cut out of the fiat strip. On this the
name of the maker OF of the brand is
stamped. Next, the pen is nodded in a
form which combines gracefulness with
strength. The rounding enables the
pen to hold the requisite ink and to
distribute it more gradually than could
be done with flat blade. The little
hole which is cut at the end of the slit
serves to regulate the elasticity, and
also facilitates the running of the ink
Then comes the process of hardening
and tempering. The steel is heated to
a cherry red and then plunged sudden
ly into some cool substance. This at
once changes the quality of the metal
from that of soft, lead-like substance
to brittle, springy one. Then the
temper of the steel must be drawn, for
without this process it would be too
brittle. The drawing consists of heat
ing the pen until it reaches a certain
color. The first color that appears is
q straw color. This changes rapidly to
a blue. The elasticity of the metal
varies with the color, and is fastened at
any point by instant plunging in cold
water. The processes of Sitting, pol
ishing, pointing and finishing the pens
are operations requiring dexterity, but
by long practice the workmen and
workwomen become very expert. There
have been few changes of late years,
and the process of manufacture is much
the same that it was twenty years ago,
and the prices are rather uniform,
ranging from seventy-five cents to 81 a
gross, according to the quality of the
finish

Sewing Women.

Social science presents many per-
picking problems, but there is none
more difficult of solution than the mys-
terry of the sewing women. From the
time when Hood wrote the "Song of
the Shirt" even until the present year
of grace and the Republic, men have
been made uncomfortable by the
thought that it is not shirts but wo-
men S lives they wear.
With periodicity like that of sun
spots and Presidential elections, there
appear in the. newspapers accounts of
women who prick back starvation with
the needles point at the rate of rs or
20 cents day for making shirts from
dawn to midnight. There is reason to
believe that these stories of starvation
are true. and it is beyond question that
the women who make shirts and wo-
men S underwear for dealers, work for
shamefully low wages. And yet if any
gentlewoman who reads this paragraph
has occasion to call in the assistance of
a sewing woman to help her at home
with needle and machine, she will find
an astonishingly tight market, so to
say, confronting her. She must search
diligently in order to find seamstress
disengaged, or likely to be disengaged
at an early day. She must pay her 81
or $3.50 per day, and board her; and
she must be excessively polite and cour-
teous to this honored guest if she is to
keep her until the sewing is done.
Many a gentlewoman's head has
been made to ache in the endeavor to
solve this mystery. Ifthere are women
who sew for 20 cents day and board
themselves, how and why is it that
sewing women are so hard to find who
will sew for less than % a day, with
board and distinguished consideration
thrown IMP Why do not some of the
Decent women go out to sew? And, if
the sewing labor market is so over
stocked as to put wages down to star
walton rates, why does not the COMPETE
ton make itself felt in the shape of an
abundant supply of laborers for those
who are willing to pay fairly for the
service?-Aet0 York Commercial Aduer-
tiSer.
