I, Harmachis, the fallen, in whom are gathered up all woes as waters are gathered in desert well, who have Hsted of every shame, why by betrayal have betrayed, who, in losing the glory that is here have lost of the glory that is there, who am utterly undone-I write, and, by Him who sleeps at Abouthis, 1write the truth.

what to do; for, had they hid me, the guards
 would not have stayed their search till
 was found. And the man, gazing through
 tho doorway, saw a little child at play.
 "Woman," he said, 'whose is that childa"
 "It is my grandchild," she answered,
 "the foster brother of the Prince Harma-
 chis; the child to whose mother we owe this
 evil case.'
 "Woman," he said, 'thou knowest thy
 duty; do ity' and he again pointed at the
 child q command thee, by the Holy Name"
 And she trenAled exceedingly, because
 the child was of her own blood; but, never
 theless, she took the boy and washed him
 and set on him a robe of silk and laid him
 on my cradle. And mo sho took and
 smeared with mud to make my fair skin
 darker, and took my garment from me, and
 set me to play in the dirt of the yard, which
 did right gladly.
 Then the man hid himself, and presently the soldiers rode up and asked of the old wife if this were the dwelling of the High
 Priest Amenemhat! She told them yea.
 and bade them cnte~, and offered them honey and milk, for they were athirst. Thereafter the eunuch that was with them asked if that were the son of Amenemhat who lay in the cradle, and she said: ''Yea yea" and began to tell the guards how he would be great, for it had been prophe- Sleu or Hllu LnaG nc SnOulu ono Qay rule them all.
 Thereon tho Greek guards laughed, and one of them, seiziug the child, smote off its head with a sword; and the eunuch drew forth tho signet of Pharaoh as warrant for the deed and showed it to the old wife, Atoua, bidding her tell the High Priest that his son should be q King without a | head.
 And as they went one of their number saw mo playing in the dirt and called out that there was more breeding in wonder | brat than in the Prince Harmachis; and for | moment they wavercd, thinking to slay l me also, but in tho end they passed on, bearing the head of my foster-brother, for | they loved not to murder little children. But, after awhile, the mother of the dead | child returned from the market place, and when she found what had been done she l and her husband would have slain Atoua, l tho old wife, her mother, and given me up | to the soldiers of Pharaoh; but my father came in likewise and learned the truth, and | he caused the man and his wife to be seized l by night and hld away in the dark places of l tho Temple, so that mono saw them more. But would to-day it had been the will of l the Gods that I had been slain of the sol diers and not the innocent child. And thereafter it was given out that the l as son to him in the place of that of Har- machis who was slain of Pharaoh. |

II. at his bidding the eunuch lifted up the head, by the hair for him to look on. Then he laughed and smote 1t on the cheek with hiS sandal, and bade one of the girls crown Pharaoh with flowers. And he bowed the knee and mocl1ed the head of the innocent child. But the girl, who was sharp of tongue-for all of this I heard in after years-said to him ''that he did well to bow the knee, sor this child was indeed Pharaoh, the greatest of Pharaohs, and his name was the Osiris and his throne was Death" At this saying Athletes was much troubled, and shook and trembled, for, being a wicked man, he greatly feared the entering into Amenti So he caused the girl to be slain, because of the evil omen of her saying, cry ing that he would send her to worship that Pharaoh whom she had named. And the other women he sent away, and played no more upon the flute till he was once again drunk on the morrow. But the Alexandra ans made song thereon, which is still sung about the streets. And this is tho beginning thereof:

The accordion pleating comes into play eff
fectually with these lounging gowns, and one
of the prettiest, made in fame and black
printed silk, had the whole skirt in accordion
plaits, with cascade of lace down the front.
A new make of sleeve is loose and large, and
hangs to the waist only, ending in bow.
One of the Ioveliest specimens Of tea gown,
however, Just brought from Paris, is Of apple
green, trimmed with wide gallon, embroider-
ed in gold, pink, mauve, and greens Of several
shades in faint, subdued tones; band of this
went round the waist, down the sides and
bordered the sleeves.
Many tea gowns are also made in clear
muslin. with insertion let in perpendicularly
10 bodice and skirt alike; green ribbon OF
some kind is generally introduced upon them.
Little tea jackets of the same nature will be
much worn as the season advances, for tea
Jackets are among the most comfortable gar
ments of the year.
The boudoir gown shown in the foregoing
cut and named the Bernhardt, because it was
first modelled for the celebrated actress of
that name, is very effective in appearance.
The over dress and train, made in white
lampas, are lined with buttercup satin and
bordered with ruching of lace. The loose
under robe Is in white gauze over yellow
satin foundation. The sleeves and collar are
ornamental with yellow velvet ribbon, EN-
broidered with gold The gold gallon girdle
is fastened with Byzantine clasp.

lam always at home at luncheon;" OF
I'VE lunch at two" or Pray come to
luncheon any day you Ike" or Won't you
come home with us to luncheon?" or you're
coming to luncheon today, are you mott" are
a few of the verbal invitations given to this
social meal and accepted as unceremonlously
as given; for in many houses guests are ex.
pected every day at luncheon as matter OF
course, places are laid as rule, and seldom
left vacant; and these luncheons are most
pleasant, as the guests, generally speaking,
are the intimate friends of host and hostess,
and not mere acquaintance; the talk is
therefore easy, if not confidential
There are, as it were, two rules as regards
luncheon One is always to be at home at that
hour, and rarely, if ever, to accept an invita-
ton for that meal The other is TO accept in
vitations to luncheon, and to give written in
vitations, say three days in each week, ac-
cording to engagements, not by way of giving
a luncheon party, but Of asking friends from
time to time whom it is convenient to meet at
this hour more than at any other, the numbers
varying from two to six as the case may be.
The general idea among guests, and one
that is well, S.aceived by hostesses, is to get

When to Give Medicines.

The time OF administering medicines has in
many cases considerable influence on their
action in the system; therefore, the following
rules for taking medicine, for which The
Medical World is authority are Of interest:
Iodine or the iodides should be given on an
empty stomach. If given during digestion,
the acids and starch alter and weaken their
action. Acids, as rule, should be given be-
tween meals. Acids given before meals check
the excessive secretion of the acids Of the
gastric juice. Irritating and poisonous drugs,
such as salts of arsenic, copper, zinc and
iron, should be given directly after meals.
Oxide and nitrate of silver should be given
after the process of digestion is ended; if
given during or close after meals the chem
icals destroy OF impair their action. Potas-
sum permanganate, also, should not be given
until the process of digestion is ended, mas
much as organic matter decomposes it and
renders it inert. The active principle of the
gastric juice is impaired and rendered inert
by corrosive sublimate, tannin and pure alco-
hol; hence they should be given at the Close
of digestion. Malt extracts, cod liver oil, the
phosphates, ETC., should be given with Oh
directly after food.

4 Source of Dyspepsia.

Eating heartily when the system is tired
and jaded is assigned as one of the common
est causes of dyspepsia. When exhausted by
either mental or physical work, we are usual
ly ravenously hungry and naturally turn to
food as a restorative. The stomach, how
ever, shares in the depression caused by over
work, and, hence, at such times, is unable to
perform its ordinary duty. The food taken
then is but very slowly digested, and before
the process is completed fermentation often
takes place II it does, the consequence is
that we are in worse state than if the food
had not been taken, for the fermentation
generates acids and gas, which in turn not
only interfere with digestion, but excite
other distuT 5ances.
In very strong and healthy person the III
effects of eating when the system Is much
fatigued would not be SO marked as In one
below the standard of health. Very nery2g;
individuals invariably suffer from the habit,
and if debilitated they are quite sure to grow
more so if it is persisted in. When very
"tired and hungry" It is always best to rest
for a time before eating, or take some sucf
simple "pick up" as hot milk, which should
be Slowly slipped That is very refreshing
indeed, and usually meets the requirements
quite as well as an alcoholic stimulant.

New Tea Gowns and Dressing Gowns.

new lea OOWnS anu DEcsAiuS UOhhs'
Tea gowns and dressing gowns show much
novelty this season. A charming exemplif-
cation of several new points was a combina-
ton Of green and white, the trimming white,
applied as a girdle, falling in long ends in
front, and as frillings carried down the front,
the edges needle-run with green, while the
gown itself, cut loose and flowing, opened
with the edge worked in guipure over silk,
which fell over a white front. Tbs empire
style has crept even into tea gowns, and one
made with q rounded yoke in gray cashmere
was trimmed with white ribbon, watered
and embroidered in gray and gold. It was
made WIN rounded j JS,c, the sash dimin-
ishing the length of the waist
Sleeves are becoming more and more i'm
portapt, and one of the newest tea gowns has
a hanging sleeve in points falling TO the hem
of the skirt, formed of rows of lace; the belt
richly embroidered. One gown, in light
blue tone, was lined with primrose cashmere,
which shone through. 1t was comfortable
shape, cut all in one, and easily slipped on.
The frilings on many of these garments
made in silk or soft wool, had been not only
pinked, but the edge worked over with sill
in a sort of herring bone. The fronts are
often tucked horizontally.

The New and Popular Drug, Antipyrin.

The New and Popular Drug, Antipyrin.
Among drugs that have appeared in med
icaI practice and have also become popular
remedies within a few years past is anti
pyrin. This first attracted the attention OF
physicians on account of its power OF sub
DUNG fever. After a time it was discovered
that it would relieve neuralgia and head
aches and had a general sedative effect upon
the nervous system. The latter quality, as
soon as well known, commended the drug to
popular use, and the devotee of antipyrin is
liable to get into the habit OF taking it and
recommending it to others for every ache or
pain whatsoever Such a practice is, how
ever, reprehensible, for antipyrin is power
full drug, seriously affecting the action Of the
heart and the circulation. DIR. 81. c. Wood
saws that numerous cases have been reported
in which cyanosis, disturbed respiration and
circulation and collapse have been produced
by antipyrin given in doses Of from thirty
to thirty-fve grains. Antipyrin has also
sometimes occasioned rash.
DR.. Grace Peckham, after affirming thai
smaller doses than the one mentioned above
have occasioned futtering and irregularity
of the heart, gives the following advice:
First-Not to recommend the drug in 9
wholesale manner to your friends.
Second-Not to take it yourself unless your
physician recommends it to you and has told
you that your heart will not be unpleasantly
affected
Third-It is depressing remedy at best
and some stimulant (brandy, two teaspoon
fuls) should always be taken with it.

Fashion Notes.
This is a gingham summer.

This IS gingham summer.
The women who travel nowadays when
they can afford it wear silk undergarments,
these being, in warm weather especially,
more comfortable than muslin ones and less
liable to soil
Cork soled stockings, that reach above the
knee and protect the feet from shells and peb-
bIeS, are taking the place of the old time
bathing shoes this season.
Very pretty bath robes are made of Turk
iGb toweling.
Mousseiine de sole, as we have already said,
is used for full sleeves Of summer dresses
when transparent fabric is required, and is
newer than lace for this purpose.

namnsnre BOARD or healtn, wnlcn expresses

Hampshire BOARD OF health, which expresses
the following opinions:
There is a great deal OF sentiment and
many opinions regarding the use of ice water
that vanish when the light of reason and ex-
perience is turned upon them. The fact is
that ice water, drank slowly and in moderate
quantities, constitutes healthful and invig-
Grating drink There is no doubt that ice is
a great sanitary agent, and every family
ought to be provided with it during the
warmer months of the year. 1t is true that
the inordinate use of ice water, or its use under
some special conditions and circumstances, Is
attended with great danger; so is the i'm
proper use of any other drink or food
The assumption that iced water is danger
Gus, and that iced tea, or iced coffee, or iced
lemonade, is a harmless substitute, is simply
delusion. AS the source of danger feared
by some is the degree of cold, we fail to SEE
clearly how flavor modifies the effect of tenn
perature. There are some individuals, un-
doubtedly, who cannot drink ice water with
out injury, and who ought never to use it.
but to great majority of persons it is re-
freshing and healthful Its use, temperate
and discreet, is in no way to be condemned,
which cannot be said of some of its substi'
tutes.

The time has been taken up lately in
the discussion of various matters relating
to the raft pilots avocation, condition OF
the river and steamboating generally. A
| good deal of time was devoted to Sunday
work. and although no resolutions were
adopted. nor any action of that nature
taken, the board of directors were d.
rected to correspond with owners and
contractors on the subject. The pilots
desire not to be misunderstood; they do
not propose to make demand for Sun
day, but simply to let their feelings be
known and learn how owners regard it.
| They believe they are as well entitled to
a day of rest as anybody. and that better
and safer work can be done by giving
crews that day. They see no logical rea-
son why the men who makes logs in the
woods and the men who make lumber in
the mills. should be any more entitled to
Sunday than the men who pilot the logs
and lumber to their destination. This il
the first Sunday movement among west
ern stesmbostmen since the time old CAPS
tain Smith Harris tried it on packet bust
ness and failed. But log>towing is moi
packet business. and not to be put or
the same basis.
The place of the next meeting was lef,
to the board of directors, but it will like,
| ly be Lacrosse.
A telegram was forwarded President
Harrison, entering a protest against the
appointment of John ID. Sloane as SUI
pervisor inspector OF steam vessels fol
the Fifth district on the grounds of his
ineligibility. The pilots claim that Mr.
Sloane's only experience has been as sec
ond assistant engineer in the navy, and
that he in no sense ful6lls the plain pro,
! visions Of the law.
