The present owner has arranged a
modern clasp in the shape OF q lotus
flower. 1t can still be used, and in
deed as we'll as ever, as an ornament
for one in full dress. 1t is so flexible,
falling down into picturesque folds the
moment it is let go, that it seems more
like a ribbon of delicate tissue than
like mere metal. An expert goldsmith
told Inc, after he had examined 1t with
his glass, that it undoubtedly had a
perfectness of uniformity in the INKS
which could be found only in a CHAIN
manufactured by machinery.
This was to me a matter OF WONDER,
for | was not prepared to learn tnat
the ancient Egyptians had the knowl-
edge of machines which could produce
woven fabrics from pure gold. IL was
at once a discovery and a delight. 1t
must be confessed that when l have
spoken of this necklace as belonging
to a princess | have had no actual
authority. 1t dates from the age OF
Moses, if Herr Brugsch is correct, a
learned period, it is a fact, but how
much acquaintance the nation had
then with delicate machinery 1T is not
easy to say. This ornament was found
in one of that range of tombs opened
along the Nile, where royal and prlestly
burials were frequent, 1t may have
been worn by the daughter OF a KING,
but not yet is any one able to give her
name, her lineage, or her history

With" little Marshall f. Wilder tells
this story
AN American visiting English clubs
is sure to be surprised at the number
of titles he hears. Besides h enobility
nearly every one seems to have a
special handle to his name. Colonies
are not quite as numerous as In Ken
lucky o Georgia, but for captains and
majors we can't hold a candle to them.
But it was reserved for me, an Amerl-
can, to knock them out on rank in a
most unexpected manner. An old
waiter-an ex-soldier-at the Savage
called me Marshall several times
evening, and was reprimanded by one
of the members for addressing a guest
by his first name. His nameF ex-
claimed the old fellow, looking
astonished-and then turning, said:-
Why, your honor, / thought marshal
his rank?' General Grant prophesied
that l should be a general, but the old
waiter went him M better, and the
title stuck to me for awhile, too"
