Great Find Of Early Paintings.

Seeking in Lower Egypt, during the pres
emit year, for remains of the wonderful laby-
rinth of 5000 chambers described by Herod-
otus, Mr.. Flinders Petrie seems to have
found what he sought, with the pyramidal
tomb of its builder. and also came upon a
great cemetery whose existence had hitherto
been unknown. This cemetery covers about
one hundred acres, and dates from the
Greco-Roman period, one or two centuries
after Christ. From it Mr.. Petrie has taken
hundreds of mummies, with vast collection
of objects buried with them. These articles
include Itinerary vases, amulets, toys, tin
ned copper mirror, burning lens, a set of
leather workers needles, flint knife, and
by far the most interesting of ala splendid
series of portraits, painted upon the cases of
deliberately bandaged mummies, and repre-
senting the living persons whose remains
were placed in these collins seventeen cen
turtles ago. These pictures will add an i'm
portant chapter to the history Of art.-Ar-

A Very Old Tobacco Pipe.

A citizen of Eatonton, Ga, smokes about
twelve pounds of tobacco yearly in a pipe
that he declares is over 200 years old. This
leads mathematical person to calculate
that if that were the average amount used in
the pipe since it's first day, 2,400 pounds Of
the weed have been burned in its BOWL and,
if the first $12 had been put out at compound
interest al the rate of 10 per cent. it would
now have grown to the sum of 81, 755, AZ, 200

''See here, Lake, he cried, 81 thought you
were ordered out of this precinct. Now git.n
Don't be hard on me, sergeant" the bunko
man said, in pleasing tone. ''You know I

"Id like to know how you fellows live,

''It's precious tough hoeing," the bunko
man replied, mournfully; "but we Try to

"'Hat racket" retorted the sergeant.
"What the deuce do you call thata'
''Why, that's the latest confidence scheme,
and it ought to be worth something to US for
discovering it," the bunko man replied.
''You see, every big hotel has hat store adj

suddenly:

"Then I walk into the hat store and out

''It's funny thing the bunko man said
unctuously, 'but it's the truth, all the same,
that in nine cases out of ten the thing works

Mott Streets Chinese Bride.

There was little tinkling girlish voice
heard within, Mr.. All Dam made a request
in affectionate Chinese, and directly the door
was opened by small Oriental about eight
or nine years of age. This tiny female was
gowned in yellow silk, and had her black
hair tied up in tight knot on top of her
head. She opened the door far enough to
show deep pair of dimples and then far
enough to let the caller in to see the new
bride. There sat the new conner on pearl
inlaid ebony chair with marble seat, and if
there ever was a medieval Madonna seen in
this world Mrs. All Dam was she. The same
full, low lids and narrow eyes, the same high,
arched, thin drawn brows and the very iden-
teal, innocent, fixed smile that the old mas
tiers always gave to their Madonnas. Even
the skin was the same soft, golden hue to
which time has turned those painted virgin
countenances. To increase the likeness, she
was gowned in full, loose robes of bright blue
The little dame did not move. She sat and
smiled, and down from the chair, not touch
ing the foor-because she is only eighteen
and very small-hung the dearest, cunning
est pair of feet in the world. Imagine two
little scarlet Chinese shoes, with white felt
soles two inches thick, and embroidered all
over with gold thread and spangles. In the
old gallant days men sometimes drank a
toast from their lady loves slipper, but it
would be a temperate person who would
quaff from Mrs. All DAMS brodequin. 1t
would only serve as liqueur glass, for it is
but three inches long. The little medieval
Madonna takes the little yellow foot out of
the shoe at the visitors request. The
daintiest thing imaginable, with apink sole
and tiny toes no bigger than the very small
est rosebud. TIE most petite of the famous
American feet look coarse beside this mite
of flesh and blood. 1t is not deformed, as
people commonly imagine Chinese feet to be;
it is only arrested in its growth. 1t is the
foot of a child of 8 on a girl of 16, and it will
always be the same size. She can walk on it
now very WELL She would not make much
of pedestrian, but she gets up and goes
about the room in pretty, fitting, birdlike
fashion that Mr.. All Dam contemplated with
rapture,-New York World

I do not ask it. Lord, that it may be
From things which make it hard to iourn ey

Ny feet are bruised and my heart is so
Cast down with grlefs Of bitterness and woe,
That it must need thy guidance here below,
And with deep longings it cries out to thee.
Which is the way?

The withered leaves, and sweep them to and fro
