CAN'T eat your cake and keep it, too Neither
can you turn out mummy in Connecticut in
two days which will take the place of the
real thing. A judge Of those things will tell
you at once that the boquet is different.
There Is not the same nut-brown favor
and odor Of poorly ventilated Image about
the Connecticut-made mummy that there is
about the Egyptian job. The Egyptians

deal the same as our physicians have now,
viz, by filing them full Of high-priced

instead Of printing bulletins about thin peo-
pie, showing what their respiration and
temperature were, and O large amount of
sick-room gossip, which a man hates to read
after he has recovered, just waited around
till tho gentleman had been permitted to
die quietly in his own way, surrounded by
his family, and then they came in and cured
him, so that on the morning of the resurrec-

make him look like new man.
The American bison and the Egyptian
mummy are fading away. The day will
soon come when those who have slaugh-

Mrs. Logan Working for Alger.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-General John
A. Logau's widow is doing all in her pow
err to throw the Logan vote to her hus-
bands friend, General Alger. The latter
was always a great friend of Logan, and
spent his time, influence and money freely
for his election in 1884. Afterward he
conducted trip to the Pacific coast which
was in the interest of Logan's candidacy,
and which aroused much enthusiasm
among the soldiers everywhere. The init
macy of the Logan and the Alger families
has continued from that time, and Mrs.
Logan now takes occasion to say to all her
husbands friends that it would be great
pleasure 10 her should they see fit to sup
port Alger at Chicago. A few days ago,
when General Ayers manager was here,
he called on Mrs. Logan, and she assured
him that whatever influence she might
possess among the Grand Army men
should be used in behalf of the Michigan
candidate. The latter has already opened
his headquarters at Chicago, and one of
the gentlemen in charge is Mr.. A. H.
Hall, who was General Logsn's stenogra-
pher at the time of the latter's death.

Blaine Stops at n Famous Ion.

GRANTHAM, June 12.-Mr. Carnegie and
Mr.. Blaine spent Sunday and yesterday
forenoon in visiting the beauties of Peter
borough and vicinity, the quaint old csthe-
dral being especially admired. In the
cool of the afternoon the drive from Stan
ford to the town Of Grantham was covered
in short order, the twenty miles being
reeled off in something less than two hours.
The "ADgel' here is said to be the Oldest
inn of the United Kingdom, dating back to
the days of King John, and it is here that
the unpopular monarch is asserted to have
held his. court. The Angel is covered
with ivy and is constructed OF roughly
hsWn granite. After an excellent dinner,
the digestion of which was facilitated by
some Wsguerian music by NJ. Damrosch,
the party retired for the night, MIR. and
Mrs. Blaine to the bed on which Richard
III. signed the Duke of Buckingham
death warrant, and Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie
10 the apartments which King John Lack
landn had some centuries ago affected.
Mr.. Blaine Is in splendid health and
very lively. He refuses, however, to
touch upon any political topic less than
one hundred years old.
