A ThOusand.DO LOZeDge

In his younger days, though the co To-
mel is by no means an old man, he was
quite gay and festive youth. He oc-
casionally tempered with checks-buck-
ed the tiger. The story is: One night
he stood before the bank, broke, watch
ing the cards as they were pulled out of
the box making imaginary bets, as
broken men generally do. Ee followed
the deal through without losing bet
He couldn't help thinking had he been
playing he might have won fortune
Then, again, he might have gone broke.
Suddenly he was seized with an irresist-
ible desire to make play. The desire
was so strong and uncomfortable that
the colonel did what might have caused
him trouble. He was excusable, how
ever, for mania for gambling is con-
sidered an excuse for anything. In his
pocket he had large mint lozenge,
which was the exact size, shape and
color of red check. He placed it on a
card. On the next turn he won. The
dealer paid him red check, unconscious
Of the imposition. He continued to win
and win and win, until finally he walked
out of the house with $r,l00, and all
from a lozenge. Talk about tall oaks
from little acornsl

Dropped Dead when found Out

A singular affair occurred at Green
vile, Michigan, on Saturday. James
Martin had served notice of ejectmen
upon Abraham Van Horn, a Crystal
township farmer, claiming the title to
Van Horns farm. A few years ago the
farm was sold to Van Horn by Mrs.
Lydia Lyons, who said, when Van
Horn expressed doubt about the clear
ness of the title, that she chopped God
would strike her dead il the title was
not all right" When Van Horn was
served with notice Of ejectmeDt he went
to Greenville and consulte lawyer.
The latter advised him to call on Mrs.
Lyons aboIt the matter, and toward
noon Van Horn visited the woman at
her home. She heard him through, and
then dropped to the floor dead. Super
stitious people think that Mrs. Lyons
knew the title she sold was imperfect,
and that God struck her dead in re-
Spouse to the prayer she uttered years
ago, on the day the sale was effected.
Medical science, however, AYERS that
she died of shock when brought face to
face with her crime.

The TELESCOPES for the Lick Observa-
tory on the peak of Mount Hamilton,
Call, will be the largest in the world.
1t will have lens thirty six inches in
diameter, six inches more than the tele-
scope recently completed for the Russian
Government. Some idea of the power
of the instrument may be gained froni
the statement recently made by an as
tronomer, that gazing at the moon
through this annihilator of space. the
orb of nigh 24O, 900 miles distant would
be brought to Within less than one hun
bred miles Of the eye of the beholder.
Mount Hamilton, where the telescope
is to be placed, is in Santa CLARA county,
California. The mountain has three
peaks, the eastern one being 4,4OO feet
high, the middle 1850 feet, and the
third, or Observatory peak, was origin
ally 4,256 feet but has been cut down
several feet to give level surface just
large enough for the necessary building,
about AZ, 900 tons being removed to eff
feet this. The dweling-house and
workshops are on a narrow plateau fifty
feet below the summit. Here is album
dant water obtainable from springs.
Mr.. Lick devoted 100000 to the con-
struction of the building and for "a tel
escope superior TO and more powerful
than any telescope yet made,' with the
provision that the citizens of Santa Clara
county should construct a carriage road
to the top. This was accomplished in
1876 at cost Of $7S 900, and is marvel
of engineering skill. The building and
instruments now completed and in po-
sirion are, the Observers house. the
transit house, the photo-heliograph and
Photographic house, the north dome and
twelve-iDch equatorial refractor, the
meridian circle house and the six and
a-half inch meridian circle, many aux
iliary instruments, such as chronome-
tiers, sidereal clocks, etc., and a number
of portable telescopes. The dome which
is to cover the great telescope will prob
ably be constructed of steel plates and
will be sevcnty-five in diameter and
will weigh about SO tons.

Crop supplies and Prospects.

The acting commissioner of agricul-
ture, i'm reply to resolution OF the
House making inquiries concerning
stocks of corn and wheat in this and
other countries, the demands of con-
sumption and the prospect of production
throughout the world, has transmitted
an exhaustive compilation of statistics
by the statistician of the department OF
agriculture. The tables show that the
worlds product Of wheat in 1885 was
2,llO, 000,0 900 bushels, the requirements
of consumption 2,l65, 000,0 900 bushels,
presenting a deficiency of $4,000, 900
bushels, drawn from the previous years
surplus of l25,0O0,000 bushels. They
find the product of Europe medium
those of India and Australia large, and
a heavy reduction in the United States.
For the supply of the coming year
the crops OF Australia. India and South
America, already harvested, are proba-
bly, about 100000 bushels less than
those of last year. while those of the
United States promise fully 100000, 900
bushels more than the harvest of 1885,
The wheat in the United States on
May l last was To-, 100000 bushels,
against 1872 900, 900 bushels in 1885. OF
the commercial stocks of wheat New
York held 4,l3S,O 95, Buffalo 2,4S0, ll7,
Chicago l1,777,sO4 Milwaukee 1885,
O3O, Minneapolis 4,7O7 1893, and Duluth
7,393,74s bushels.
The crop Of corn in lSs5-s6 was 1,6l7,-
OOO, 200 bushels. the stock 5S7, 900, 900
bushels, and the expectation $4,000, 900
bushels. The estimated acreage of
winter wheat now growing is 24,737,-

537,O27.

The Mummy of Sesostris.

lPrOf6SSOr uaSperO III Uno IOHuOn llucs.
 The mummy (No. 5,233) first taken out from it's glass case is that of Rameses II Sesostris, as testified by the official entries bearing date the sixth and sixteenth years of the reign of the High Priest Her-hor Se- Amen and the High Priest Pinotem l., writ ten in black ink upon the lid of the wooden mummy case, and the further entry of the sixteenth year of the High Priest Pinotem I. written upon the outer winding sheet of the mummy over the region of the breast. The presence of this last inscription having been verified by His Hghness the Khedive, and by the illustrious personages there assem- bled, the first wrapping was removed and there were successively discovered a band of stuff (sic) twenty centimetres in width rolled round the body; then a second winding sheet sewn up and kept in place by narrow bands placed at some distance apart; then two thicknesses of small bandages; and then 8 piece of fine linen reaching from the head to the feet. A figure representing the Goddess Nut, one metre in length, is drawn upon this piece of linen in red and white prescribed by the ritual. The profile of the goddess is unmistakably designed after the pure and delicate profile of Seti l., as he is known to us in the bas relief sculptures of Thebes and Abydos. Under this amulet there was found another bandage; then layer of pieces of linen folded in squares and spotted with the bituminous matter used by the embalmers. This last covering removed, Rameses II. ap- peared. The head is long and small in pro portion to the body. The top of the skull is quite bare. On the temples there are a few spare hairs, but at the poll the hair is quite thick, forming smooth straight locks about five centimetres in length. White at the time of death they have been dyed 8 light yellow by tine spices used in embalm- ment. The forehead is low and narrow; the brow ridge prominent; the eyebrows are thick and white; the eyes are small and close together; the nose Is long, thin, hooked like the noses of the Bourbons and slightly crushed at the tip by the pressure of the bandages. The temples sunken; the cheek bones very prominent; the ears round, standing far out from the head and pierced like those of woman for the wearing of earrings. The jawbone is massive and strong; the chin very prominent; the mouth small, but thick-lipped and full of some kind of black paste. This paste being partly cut away with the scissors disclosed some much worn and very brittle teeth, which moreover are white and well preserved The mustaohe and beard nre thin. They seem to have been kept shaven during life, but were probably
