PHILADELPHIA has a clergyman who declares
that he has frequently had to erase sentences of
Shakespeare which to have read would have
brought the blush of shame to his cheeks. The
misery that man must suffer while perusing the
Scriptures is dreadful to contemplate; but per-

THE OLDEST AMERICAN CITY.
Albany, ". Y, Celebrates the Bi-Cen-
tennial of Its Incorporation.
DUTCH CHURCH, 1915.

When, in 1909, Hendrix Hudson left Hol-
land, it was with the intention of finding a
northwest passage to India and China, but
the nearest he came to the object Of his
search was Albany, v. Y. As he entered
New York harbor, Coney Island, even, had
no attraction for him. China or "bust."
seems to have been his motto, for he even
gave the island of Manhattan the cold
shoulder, and sailed up the Hudson till his
craft, the Half Moon, was stuck in the mud.
The present city of Hudson marks the spot.
From here the mete and four sailors pad
died up as far as Albany, but finding only
Indians, they turned back. Had Hudson's
mariners continued on to the present Troy,
they would have seen enough pigtails in the
celebrated laundries thereabout TO have led
them to the belief that the Flowery King
dom could not be far away
On Hudson's return 20 Europe the an
nouncement of his discoveries aroused the
terprise of the old Dutch merchants and they
filled out several expeditions to investigate
the new land. These navigators explored
the American coast from Massachusetts to
Virginia pre-empting the whole territory.
They would have continued their explora-
tions and laid claim to the remainder of the
undiscovered earth, but for the fact that it
did not pay, it did not return what their
descendants call DOODLE" SO they turned
to the more profitable calling of trading
with the natives. That is exchanging cheap
gin and Irinkets for the valuable skins and
hides collected by the Indians AS Albany
was at that time the great meeting ground
of the various tribes, it was chosen as tue
most suitable site for trading post.

After an Experiment.


y A stonecutter, whose Office adjoined his
stone yard, was seated in his Office when a
friend called upon him, and they discussed
several topics together, among them the queS-
ton as to what extent lager beer was an in
toxicant. The stonecutter maintained that
beer was not very intoxicating, while his
friend maintained the opposite. The stone
cutter said "There is man at work in the
yard" pointing to brawny chested GermanD
"who could drink bucket" three gallons) "of
beer at one sitting and feel none the worse for
it." The friend doubted, and wager was
made and the workman called, who, when
asked if he could drink that bucket pointing
to large water bucket) full of beer at one
sitting, replied: "Vell, l don't know; 1 lets
you know after vile" The German went
away, and after remaining about fifteen
minutes, returned and said: "Yes, 1 can
trink dot peer" The bucket of beer was
procured and placed before the German, who
very soon absorbed the last drop, and arose
from his seat, wiping his mouth with
his sleeve, and was walking away with
firm step, when his employer recalled
him and said to him: "See here; my friend
and have some curiosity to know why you
did not drink the beer when you were first
askedP The German replied: "Vell, l don'd

EXPOSITION BUILDING.

The annual musical saengerfest of the
German singing societies of America was
first inaugurated on large scale at Cincin-
natl. That was seventeen years ago. But
this year it is held in Milwaukee, in the
grandest style yet witnessed.
Milwaukee has been preparing for the
event two years. 1t is claimed her citizens
even elected a German mayor, that he might
properly adorn the occasion and welcome
the excursionists in their native tongue. 1t
is estimated that 100, 900 strangers came to
Milwaukee on this occasion The fest began
July q and continues four days. The exer-
cises are held in the beautiful new Exposi-
tion building, and consist of concerts and
social reunions.
One of the financial hackers of the affair
is the millionaire pork packer, John Plank
inton. He offered prize of 81, 600 for the

THE SUCCESSFUL POLITICIAN.

A popular man must be easy and affable, and
never do anything loutish or laughable,
must live without friction, be plain in
his diction, and, like a good fellow, pay
up his subscription.
He must keep glad mean between gayness
and gravity, and keep well concealed
all his native depravity; spend cash
rich and regal, do nothing illegal, and
keep his eye peeled like a bald headed
eagle.
In drawing room circles he must behave
proper, and not blunder round like q
lumbring clodhopper, be polite to the
ladies-sweet Susans and Sadies-and
never raise Cain, nor confusion, nor

Goode is Virginian, and the AZ years OK
his lifetime have been given largely to the
affairs of his native state. At the age OF 20
he was both admitted to the bar and elected
to the Virginia legislature, and afterward
reelected several times. He entered the
Confederate army as private, and subse-
quently became attached to Gen. Jubal A.
Early's staff. From the army he was elect

that country. Nearly all the Cinnamon con-

This photographing of public men and
women for the sale of their photographs to
outsiders has grown into a big business, and
the first and best photograph of a prominent
man or woman is worth great deal to the
photographer who can get it, At Mt. Nc
Gregor the boy who took the Grant family
sitting on the porch just before the generals
death sold $4,000 of his photographs before
the funeral procession left the mountain.
There are two establishments in Washington
who make the bulk Of their business the
photographing of prominent men, for sale,
and in their stores you can buy pictures of all
sizes and of different poses of nearly every
statesman at Washington. They are very
anxious to have new men of prominence
come into their studios, and they send car
riages Cor them and give them pictures free
for permitting themselves to be taken.
Photographs of noted ladies are as rule hard
to get, and the only two that can be bought
here are those of Mrs Logan and the wife Of
Speaker Carlisle. Mrs. Logan's pictures sell
very well, and her husbands has per-
haps as large sale as those of any prominent
man. Ex-President Arthur's pictures were
worth great deal to the photographers here,
and the sale of Gartield's pictures at the time
OF his death was phenomenal.

THE NEW MUMMY AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.
took good look to-day at the Egyptian
mummy. which our minister to Turkey, the
Hon. Sam Cox, has sent to the National
Museum. 1t lies fiat on its back i'm its shell in
! big glass case, just to the left of the rotunda
Of the museum. In the case next to it stand
japanese nobleman and his wife, made of
wax and dressed in silk, and in the cases oppO-
site to it a half dozen savages from the
jungles Of Africa, with spears in their hands,
and the wild dress of their countries upon
their bodies, look at you. On another side
are the images of group of life-size Esqui-
maux i'll fur clothing, and on the wall to the
right is a collection Of perhaps fifty castes of
the copper-colored faces Of American Indians
The mummy proper has mummy box about
two inches thick, which fits around it almost
like glove In the sketch which | give you
you can see the mummy in this casket, while
the cover of the casket lies little to the left.
This casket is of some light wood. 1t is
painted dark green, and it is as carefully
made as though chiseled out by a
sculptor. The mummy is five feet six
inches long, and it is exceedingly well pre-
served. The arms were pressed close to the
side and you see nothing of their outlines
through the wrappings. which are wound
tightly around the body from head to foot.
This mummy, while not Of royal birth, must
have been a great dignitary. The body is
covered with hieroglyphics and paintings in
gold. The face is covered with gold leaf, and
a mask of green cement is pasted over it.
Shiold-shaped ornaments in gold lie across
the breast, and on one of these is the sacred
beetle which the Egyptians used to worship.
A sheet Of cemented linen lies along the legs,
and gold seems to have been plenty in the
family of the dead man. This mummy is in
as good a condition as any of those you will
find in the Boulak museum at Cairo. Mr..
Cox got it from the American consul at
Luxor on the site of old Thebes, which lies,
you know, on the Nile above Cairo and below
the first cataract. 1t was sent here in the care
of Mr. William V. Cox, the chief clerk of the
museum and cousin of Minister Cox. l un-
1erstand that the collection of Egyptian
articles in the National Museum is rapidly in
creasing and that it is his intention before
long to establish an Egyptian department in
The museum. FRANK GEORGE
