Indian NIunmies.

Many of our young folk have heard
or read of the Egyptian mummies.
Owing to the wonderful skill with which
they have been embalmed, they are in
as perfect state of preservation as on
the day they We're entombed, some four
or five thousand years ago. But that
nature is as skillful as art will be seen
by the following curious discovery:
Not long ago some miners were
searching in the Sierra Madre noun
tains for cave, supposed to be filled
with hidden treasures. AS they were
following an Indian trail, one of them
hit something hard with his pickax.
On loosening the soil they discovered,
not a cave filed with gold, silver, and
precious jewels, but an old Indian vault
containing the remains of five human
beings, two men, young woman, and
a mother with child or years old.
The bodies were in perfect preserva-
ton. The features were as distinct as
in life, and the eyebrows in a natural
state. The woman had long, fine, dark
hair. Both men and women were
wrapped in coarse, wooden cloth.
Now, we must remember that the
Indian is ignorant of the art of en-
balming, an art that requires much
nice skill as well as thorough knowl-
edge of medicine; therefore, we must
infer that the bodies were embalmed
through a natural process, namely,
through the dry atmosphere and pc
cullar temperature of the vault in
which they were placed. The bodies
were Immediately forwarded to San
Francisco, where they have been the
subject of much curiosity and discus
sion. They are supposed to have
belonged to one of the four Indian
tribes of Aztecs, Toltecs, Moquis, or
Zunis. The region of the cave was at
one time the seat of an Indian en-
pire, whose people, Judging from sur
viving relics, were comparatively civ
ilized.

The Old High Chair Back.

The changes in the height of the
chair back have not been purely ar
bitrary. Its early mission was not only
one of support but also one of defense
from any sudden attack in the rear, an
explanation likely to lessen enthusiasm
over medieval life. 1t should be re-
marked, however, that even If the
master of the house deemed it neces-
sary to put his person in safety he did
not have any serious apprehension for
the other dwellers in the house or for
visitors, so that in each room there
was one seat with a very high back re-
served for the seignior, while the others
had either no backs at all or very in
significant ones Thus there came
about q development sufficiently Gu
rious, and the seat with a high back
became by custom the mark of dignity
and power.
Finally the wig became responsible
for q revolution. When the wig began
to descend to the back, the high chair
back became very uncomfortable. The
curls of hair, wool, and silk which
composed the monumental structure
that every fashionable man believed
he ought to wear entangled themselves
in projections or adhered to the fabric,
and produced in the toilet a disorder
most offensive to the majestic dignity
of the time One alternative then pre-
sents itself-either to renounce the
wigs or to cut down the backs of the
chairs. They resigned themselves to
Tho 1asf measure and the wig comes
out the victor in this singular contest:
Afterward the high chair back lost all

The chair back has gone through al
most as many evolutionary stages as
the animal kingdom itself. Originally
designed as protection from sudden
attacks in the rear, it became, from
protecting even the head of the house,
reserved for those holding the highest
rank in households or courts. When
the long white wig came into use the
chair back had to be sacrificed to the
exigencies of fashion, since which time
its significance has been lost.

Hanks Lesson,

Farmer Long was feeling poorly, and
thought he ought to reduce the mum
Der Of his hands" He was one who
always liked to have a crowd around
him in the field. How was he going to
arrange things? He settled it by going
to the State Reform School and picking
out the "likeliest" boy that he saw
there. Possibly he thought that by
this act he was helping himself, and
doing missionary work too.
Hank Wilson was in clover. Most
boys of seventeen would not have found
much fun in the work on farm. even
If Mr.. Long was the good-natured. law
man he was generally reported to be.
The change, however, from stone walls.
prison atmosphere, and almost prison
treatment, to the absolute freedom of
three hundred acres of field, wood, and
pond, was welcome, and Hank pitched

there, besides other worse things. a
good deal of shrewdness.
"Guess Teller don't find place like

Such was Hanks thought after his
first dinner at Mother Longs table.

BRUTE HUMANITY.

Once in the city Of Vienna, there ~
. dread Of hydrophobia, and orders wsrg
given to massacre all tho dogs which vere
found unclaimed or uncollared in the
city or suburbs. Men were employed
TOR this purpose, and they generally
carried short stick, which they flung

certain aim rs either to kill, or main il
MORALLY, at one blow.
1t happened one day that, close to

his stick at wretched dog, but with
such bad aim that it fell into the river.

dashed out the creatures brains.
