A Tilted Maiden.

When ex-Mayor John Boyd Thatcher
was touring in Egypt he CHANGED 10 OBJ
serve in n museum at Bolak a finely pre-
served mummy of n young girl. So per-
feet was the retention of all that had been
tenderly laid away in those mighty mauso-
leums of the Nile country that the out
lines of the fowery garlands which had
been wreathed about her fair form 2, 900
years before were still easily discernible.
Remembering the Albany Historical and
Art Association with its embryo museum
on the corner of State and Hawk streets,
our generous fellcw townsman at once
after some patient negotiation, succeeded
in purchasing the mummy. Leaving his
new acquisition to be called for, the ex-
Mayor journeyed on, but had not alto
gether abandoned the region before he
heard that the Historical and Art Asso-
citation. finding the local populace unap-
pre- ciative and disinclined either to have
their higher tastes cultivated or to sup
port the institution so carefully planned
and prov ded for, had retired from bust
ness.
The energetic x-Mayor was in guam
Diary. He did not want to stretch his
hospitality to the extent OF inviting even
an attractive maiden mummy to take a
permanent seat ut his freside, be she
never so undemoDstrative and self-pos-
sessed. Moreover, he didn't feel like
bringing her carefully over and turning
her loose upon the streets. for as he pa
thetically remarked, there are enough
mummies in Albany as it is Ultimate
ly he was able without much trouble, for
the museum authorities had repented of
their bargain, to recall his mummy

The Science OF Pop Corn.

In what condition is the starchy in
terror of the grain just before it explodes?
The common experience of the kitchen
and laundry will help us here. In max
ing up the mixture for stitfening the
clothes, the larndress puts starch into
the water and boils il. and We all know
that in this process the starch loses its
powdery character and becomes blended
with the water into a pasty, translucent
mass. The effect upon the individual
starch granule is softening and consid-
cradle increase of it's bulk, and finally its
rupture and diffusion through the water.
While We cannot see the inside of the
gain at the critical moment when il has
all but burst. We may, in view of what We
now know, probably surmise the truth.
Is it not very likely that, as the grain
gets hotter and hotter, the moisture pres
ent in the cells. or in the starch granules
themselves, softens them first, and then
when the heat become too great TO per-
NIT its remaining in the fluid state, it
suddenly turns to steam, and the now
plastic starch expands in every direction,
forming the little vescicles, losing at the
same time. of course, the moisture, and
thus becoming firm and brittle again?
This is the conclusion 10 which / have
been brought, and think of the wonder
full physics of popped corn with great
satisfaction whenever / shake my pepper
over the glowing coals.-St. Nicholas.

The Last Mans Club.

New York has an organization known
as the Last Mans Club, whose dinners
make the members loath to die. 1T was
organized in 1881 with IL members, among
whom were representative quotas of Bid
dies, Robinsons, Sharplesses, Levises,
Baileys, etc. magnificent silver candle
labrum, with IL branches, the whole stand
ing about 80 inches high, was made
especially for the club. Each branch of
this candelabrum has engraved on 1t the
name of member, and when member
dies the light of his branch is extin-
guished.
The loving cup, also made especially for
this club, holds three quarts, and has on
it, ia repousse work, II ivy leaves, each
leaf inscribed with members name. At
the annual dinner each member quahs IN
silence from this gorgeous bowl, IN which
is punch made specially for the Last
Men of five kinds of liquors, soda, lemon
ade and champagne. The table is round,
and there are always II covers and chairs.
Now comes an odd and noteworthy
feature of the dinner ritual. Fool and
wine are always served to tie dead men,
bers exactly as if they were alive. All the
wine glasses of the departed are kept
filled. There is a new caterer and there
are new dishes each year. One year the
punch was served in policemens clubs
made of rosewood, holding in its hollow
about half pint. The cream was served
in natural hens eggs, warranted fresh,
out of which the yelk had been blown;
after freezing the eggs were brought In
on a real nest, with live hen sitting on

Oriental Justice.

DR.. Henry NJ. Scudder reports the de-
cision of case in an Eastern court. in
which the nice discrimination of the
bench was conspicuous.
Four men, partners in business, bought
some cotton bales. That the rats might
not destroy the cotton, they purchased a
cat. They agresd that each of the four
should own particular leg of the cat (;
and each adorned with beads and, other
ornaments the leg thus spportioned to
him.
The cat by an accident injured one of
its LEGS. The owner of that member
wound about it rag soaked in oil. The
cat gong too near he fire set the rag on
fire, and, being in great pain, rushed in
among the cotton bales, where she was
accustomed to hunt rats. The cotton
thereby took fire and was burned up. 1t
was total loss.
The three other partners brought an ac-
ton to recover the value of the cotton
against the fourth partner, who owned
that particular leg of the cat The Judge
examined the case and decided thus:
The leg that had the old rag on il was
hurt; the cat could not use that leg; in
fact, il held up that leg and ran with the
other three legs. The three unhurt legs.
therefore. carried the fire TO the cotton,
and are alone culpable. The injured leg
is not 10 be blamed. The three partners
who owned the three legs with which the
cat ran to the cotton will pay the whole
value of the bales TO the partner who was
the proprietor of the injured leg"

Why grown men and women with matured re-
Elective powers should neglect their small all

sensible people thus bewilder conjecture. 1t is
one of the things which, as the late lamented
Lord Dundreary exclaimed, mo fellah can find
out" Diseases grow faster than weeds, and,
moreover, beget one another. Incipient indi-
gestion, touch of biliousness, slight irregu-
larty in the habit Of body-what complex and
serious bodily disturbance, not local, but gem
eral, do they beget, If disregarded. Battle and

expression, <hoked with passion" has
lit.ls exag2eratton In it. for even though
not suddenly fatal strong passion short
ems life. Strong bodied men often die
young-weak men live longer than the
strong, fer the strong use their strength
and tie weak have mono TO use. The lat
ter take care of themselves, the former
do not. AS il is with the body, SO il Is
with the mind and temper. The strong

the weak burn out. The inferior ami

generally their prescribed term of years.
The horse lives % years, the OK Is or 20,
the lion about 20, the hog 10 or IL. the
rabbit &, the guinea-pig 6 or Z. The
numbers all bear proportion to the time
the animal takes to grow it's full size. But
man, of all animals, is one that seldom
comes up to the average. He ought to
live a hundred years, according to the
physiological law, for five times twenty
are 100. but instead of that he scarcely
reaches an average of four times the
growing period. The reason is Obvious
man is not only the most irregular and
most Incorporate, but the most laborious
and Woodworking of all the animals. He
is always the most irritable of all ami
mails, and there is reason TO believe,
though We cannot tell what an animal
secretly feels, that, more than any other
animal, man cherishes wrath to keep il
warm, and consumes himself with the
fire of his own reflections.

To Stop Married Men from Flirting.

A lady came into our store the other
day, said well-known st. Louis jeweler
recently, and asked whether we carried in
stock rings for married men," The
question surprised me, and the lady con-
tlnued: Us there nothing in the line Of
rings for gentlemen to wear that would
indicate that they are married? If not,
there ought TO be. AS soon as lady is
married custom requires that she wear a
ring of prescribed form, which is in the
nature of badge. 1t signifies hands
off, or taken A man is not required to
wear any such insignia of his estate. If
they did perhaps there would not be so
many wounded hearts lying around.
When a gentleman approached lady she
could readily determine whether ornot he
is in or out of the matrimonial market
and demean herself accordingly. Such a
custom would put an end to the male mar
ried fiirt in society, who has a wife who is
