MIR. Bookwalter's Mummy,
.om a Springfield fO.l Letter.

From Springfield tO.) Letter.
Themummy of an Egyptian Princess
is one of the most interesting objects
in the collection. 1t was obtained by
Mr.. Bookwalter from Brusch Bey, OF
the Boulak Museum, Cairo. So
wonderfully preserved are thefeatures
of the Princess that it is thought
that any one who knew her in life
would be able to recognize her as
embalmed. The old girls body and
face are as black as night and look
tough and leathery. The features
are sharp and the head narrow. The
flesh is considerably shrunken and
the chin is very sharp. The row Of
front teeth are exposed to view and
look like circle of pearls. The
tongue protrudes slightly and looks
like a piece of thin black sole leather
In the case is gilt mask, something
like those worn at marquerade balls
which were put over the faces of the
embalmed bodies. The three hundred
layers of cloth used in the embalm
ing process, and making q covering
about three inches thick, are cut from
one side of the body to show the
embalming process. The mummy il
placed in magnificent sarcophagus
wrought in gilt and colors, and witt
designs showing the royal asp on the
cover. The age OF the Princess i:
over $500 years.

A Russian Court FavOrite.

Princess Natalie Kurakin, says the
London Figaro, was an imposing
beauty, with the temper OF tiend,
and became the most admired and
feared woman at the court of the late
Emperor Alexander. Her husband
idoIized her, but unfortunately al.
lowed her complete control over him.
To indulge her love for luxury, he
went beyond his means, and then
sold one estate after another. One
night, when she was adorned in full
spiendor for court ball, the general
kept her waiting. At last he came,
greatly excited, with red face anu
flashing eyes. She supposed the
excitement was caused by wine, and
told him so in vehement words. "No
darling" he protested; 'look!" and
he handed her package of rouble
notes. Bah she cried, 81 will cure
you of clubs and gaming!" and she
threw them into the fire. Heshrieked
in despair, and rushed forward to
save them. Too latel There was a
bright blaze, and they were go e.

f'you have just destroyed our whole
fortune. To-day | received orders
from the Emperor to join the. army
in the Caucasus tomorrow. In order
to secure yours and our sons future.
/ to-day sold our last estate, and
everything now is in ashes Gen.
Kurakin was killed in one of his first
engagements in the Caucasus, and
Natalie became the most heartless ol
widows.

English Women Who Ride.

London Letter in Boston Herald.
The Princess Louise, Warehouses Of
Lorne, is said to be the best rider OF
the queens daughters. While her
husband was governor general ol
Canada the fair Louise was regarded
as a positive marvel on horseback
Princess Beatrice rides well, preferine
Scotland and fleet, sturdy Scotch pom
les, however. We can imagine her
bounding over the heather blooms,
waving in purple richness of coloring
on the slopes. Her favorite pony
is tidy little bill pony named "Bren'
da." This is the name of one of the
very tenderest of the current writers
in England for children. We fsll to
wondering if there is any connection
between the two names. The graceful
princess of Wales, the queens daugh'
ter-in-law. rides faultlessly, so at least
reports David Anderson, the very yer.
satile leader writer OF the London
Telegraph, who accompanied the
prince and suite to Ireland last year
We never had the pleasure of seeing
the princess ride, but can well believe
Mr.. Anderson, because the princess is
a Dane and the Danes usually ride
well. But we believe the queen herself
once rode better than any of her
children. This is the opinion of ''our
briefess barrister," who generally
knows what he is talking about.

steve TAYLOR DYING.

John Mahan, known in sporting
circles as Steve Taylor, a prominent
heavy weight pugilist, IS dying at his
home in Jersey City of consumption.
He attributes his disease to the
humping he received from John l..
Sullivan during his tour through the
West with the champion. "Almost
every man." said Steve to a friend.
"when he pnts on the gloves,
seeks chiefly to protect his face, and
thinks he can stand all the punish
ment on the body that an opponent
can give. He dosen't mind pound
on the chest, but it tells on him, and
is apt to bring on pulmonary disease.
This is how | got mine" 1t is said
that benefit performance will be got
up to enable the pugilist to 60 South.

Tourists i'm California.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
A well informed citizen the other
day gave it as his opinion that there
were not less than 10000 invalid
tourists in California. He qualified
his statement by saying that there
were at least that number of persons
who had come to the State during
the Winter months for considerations
of health. These do not represent all
who have come here as tourists. 1t
is safe to say that there are as many
more who have entered the State
since the LIST OF last December for
business considerations quite aside
from health. Whoever has examined
closely the list of arrivals by rail will
be struck with this new immigration
feature. There can be no doubt that
this Winter influx of population is
intimately connected with the pros
perity OF the State. Already the
industrial character of Southern
California has been entirely changed.
1t amounts to a revolution. The
10000 Winter tourists in California
are rather the small number in ad-
vance, because in this Spring month
the current OF travel to California
never was so strong. This is patty
on account of the low fares. Account,
however, must be taken OF consider
able outward drift. Thousands are
taking advantage of low rates to visit
the Eastern States. But nearly all OF
them will return. Never before could
the trayler cross the Continent for so
small an expenditure or with so much
comfort. There are crowds around
all the ticket offices. New announce
ments are made nearly every day. II
is n common expression that it Is
cheaper to travel than to stay at
home. Thecompetition which results
in rate cutting will probably not last
long. The overland trains are long
and the incoming trains are ever
longer. Travellers are everywhere
They fill the country hotels, inquire
about lands and crops, and make
investments here and there which
appear to be quite free from any
speculative excitement. The past
Winter has contributed great ly to the
enjoyment OF tourists. There has be=n
very little rough weather. The rains
came down seasonably. The face of
the country was fresh with springing
grass in December Wild flowers were
on the hillsides before New Years.
The fields ofgrain were, in many cases,
so rank at midwinter that cattle We're
turned i'll to pasture them down. The
roads were muddy, but, mud is quite
as agreeable as dust. In the middle
of March the orchards are in bloom,
the soft breezes OF Spring ripple the
grain fields, the showers come at the
right time to keep the grass fresh and
to make all the gardens bloom.

How Actresses Kiss.
From the New York Sun.
The last, time that he besutifuI AID

From the New York Sun.
The last time that the beautiful AIDE
laide Nelson played Juliet in New York
she had babe Romeo lingering fare
we'll and was turning away from the
balcony, when sudden within seemed
to seize her, and, wheeling about swift
ly, she caught his face in both her
hands and, leaning forward, gazed into
his eyes. The house was still as death
The audience, already seriously
wrought upon and feeling parched, arid
and uncouth, leaned forward nervous
ly. Two thousand eyes were riveted
upon the actress. There was a long
wait; then she slowly pressed her lips
to Romeo's and seemed lost to every
thing around her. The people sat like
stones. A programme fioated down
from above and fell athwart wom-
ans bonnet and she did not raise her
hand to removeit. Aspinster coughed,
Juliet raised her head slowly and glided
away, looking back over her shoulder
as she disappeared with an expression
that no man who saw it will ever for
get. There was a long silence and then
the play went on. But no one paid
the slightest attention to it. One by
one the people relaxed their strained
and intent attitudes and leaned back
in their chairs. There was no rustic
or noise The woman did not notice
the programme on her bonnet until
the curtain fell.
Mary Anderson played Juliet here
when she returned from London re-
Gently, and in the fourth act she kissed
Romeo. As she approached the event
the bald headed man in the orchestra
who habitually dawdles with the base
viol rose from his seat and looked over
the footlights. Everybody knew the
kiss was coming, and when the actress
leaned forward frigidly and resolutely
placed her face in the immediate prox-
unity of Romeo's the house was all at
tention. She leaned back again. The
deed had been done. The hald-headed
man in the orchestra sank back in his
chair, shivering a bit and turned up
his collar. The lights fiickered. An
usher sneezed and, tiptoeing softly to
the door, he put his hand across the
crack to see if he could find out where
the chilling draft came from. Then a
bowling swell rose from his seat, blew
upon his fingers, pulled on a fur over
coat, went out into Thirteenth street
and wished audibly that he was dead.

Herr Won Puttkamer. Prussian ministsr
OF the interior, In the reichstag made per-
sonai appeal on behalf OF Emperor Will
lam for d continuance Of the anti-socialist
law. He exclimed: In the emperor's name
and by the emporer's order. | assure you
that his majesty would regret profoundly
and grieve deeply il the prolongation OF
the anti-socialist law is refused. The en-
peror would shed his blood in order to
maintain the law. The socialist troubles
in Belgium threatened the peace OF Eu-
rope. 1t behooved Germany to devise
measures to prevent such disorders. Had
Belgium possessed laws forbidding thepub-
lieation OF Socialists pamphlets and the
holding OF Socialist meetings, the recent
troubles would probably have been avert
ed. The Belgians were Catholics, but the
church had proved unequal to coping with
one outbreak OF wild passion. The Belgian
bourgeoise constantly and wilfully sought
to create serious disorders, and the gov
eminent itself provoked trouble. Herr
Bebel called the speaker to order, where

of agriculture on the eastern shors of
Virginia. Within an area of about
5000 acres live 5000 geese, OF sever
al varieties, attended by herders and
regularly fed with corn, etc. The OBJ
ject is the collecting of down for quilts
and pillows, and once in about six
weeks plucking takes place. Only
the breast and sides under the wings
are to be plucked, and it requires the

The more we live, more brief appear
Our LIES succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems a year,
and years like passing ages.
The gladstone current OF our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along its CLASSY borders.
But as the careworn cheek grows wan,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars that measure life to man.
Why seem your courses quicker
When joys have lost their bloom and
breath
And life itself is rapid,
Why as we near the falls OF Death,
Find we it's tide more rapid?
ltmay bestrange, yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding,
When one by one, our friends have gone
And left our bosom bleeding?
Heayengiyes cur years offading strength
indemnifying fieetness;
And those OF youth q seeming length
Proportional to their sweetness.
