One of Happard,s Heroes.

The historical foundation for the incident
recounted in the preliminary chapter of Mr.
Rider Haggard's novel, cleopatra" is fur.
nished in the account of one of the mummies
found in the Deir-el-Bahari vault and de-
scribed in the work of Professor Maspero
We find the following outline of the facts in
The Academy: The ghastliest interest of all
attaches to the remains of an anonymous
prince, who appears to have been embalmed
alive, and upon whose mummy reports are
furnished by DR.. Fouquet and M. Mathey.
The brain, heart, stomach, etc., of this I'M
fortunate man are intact, as in life The
body was found tightly bound in three places,
namely, round the shoulders, round the
wrists and loins, and round the feet, these
ligatures being drawn with such force as to
leave deep burrows in the flesh. This done,
he appears to have been covered with a thick
coat Of bitumen, lime and pounded resin,
and to have been enwound from head to foot
with bandages soaked in some glutnous
preparation which caused them to adhere
with such tenacity that they had to be sawn
off. The agonized expression of the face, the
open mouth, the swollen and knotted mus
cles, bear witness to his desperate struggles,
and to the horrors of his last agony. His
age was about %, and in his ears were small
god earrings. That he was a parsonage of
high rank, and the victim of some unspeak-
able tragedy, admits of no doubt; but to his
name and parentage, and to the circum-
stances of his fate, no clew remains.-Oace a
Waak

On Saturday afternoon Mr.. R. Cash, mas
ter of the Shirehall Board school, Ipswich,
and Mr.. E. R. Pringle, solicitor, were taking
photographs of the Clipping at the spot
where the oil mills once stood, and still
known by that name. In the evening, how
ever, while developing this particular plate
in the dark room at his own house-Mr
Pringle being still in his company-he was
perfectly astounded by an appearance which
he had never seen when taking the photo
graph, and for which he could in no way
account. On completing the development
there was plainly revealed in the foreground
of the picture the figure of a woman, ap-
parently floating upright in the water, as it
is declared that drowned bodies will some
times appear after immersion for q length of
time II cannot in the least explain how it
got there" said Mr. Cash, when interviewed
on Monday, "but here Is the negative, and
you can see for yourself"
And it can only be said that the woman is
Enthusiastically shown. 1t is no shadowy like
ness, difficult to detect, nor does it require
pointing out before the lines can be traced
as with the puzzle pictures SO commonly
seen. The face and head are clearly out
lined; the arms are hanging straight by the
side of the body, which is clad in ordinary
female attire and is visible to the waist, and
the portrait generally appears to be that of a
tall and pomely young woman. There is
nothing repulsiye in the photograph, although
it looks weird and ghost like. The first idea
naturally suggested was that the photograph
ic plate had really detected body which
was invisible to the naked eye. Unable to
account for the apparition, Mr.. Cash COM
l4Hnicated with the borough police, one of
whom was struck with the reality of the pict
IRE that he at first inn imagined it to resemble
some woman in town, and inquired whether
she had lately been heard of. Next morning,
and very properly SO, the river was dragged
at this particular spot, but no body was
found, and SO far, therefore, the climax of
the narrative is happily left wanting. It is
perplexing mystery.-Two Worlds.

A Complicated Find.

The following account of the discovery of
a hidden treasure is somewhat curious from
the strange manner in which the veritable
owner recovered his property. In field
near London, some laborers, digging up the
roots of tree, found two jars containing
nearly four hundred sovereigns They divid-
ed the money among themselves, and were
then taken aback by the lord of the manor
claiming it. Before this claim could be in
vestigated a tradesman came forward and
stated that one night under a temporary
delusion, he had gone out and buried the
money; but when he awoke, and for some
time afterward, he tried in vain to recollect
the locality he had selected. It was not until
he heard rumor Of the finding Of 400 sover-
eigns that he obtained clew and the entire
transaction was recalled to his memory. He
was able to bring forward sufficient evidence
in support of his singular story, and, to his
great relief, the money was eventually re-
stored to him. ST, Louis Globe-Democrat.

Too Awful for Contemplation.

In all the annals of warfare and destruc-
ton there is no record of death SO appalling,
in proportion to the number Of combatants
engaged, as the death lists of the famous
''Six Hundred" that charged at Balaklava.
Two hundred and forty seven men fell on the
field; about 700 have died at different times
and places since; of the survivors about
one week dies in the United States; every
day or two new tramp confesses to being
one Of them, and if something isn't done
to stop it the death list of that gallant band
will shon reach into the thousands. Nothing
saves the organization from utter destruction
but the wonderful recuperative powers Of the
survivors, who are increasing in numbers
while retaining unimpaired the same age

What She Liked.

The simple truth has charm all its own,
and is sometimes quite as likely to awaken a
smile as the most profound witticism.
'Well, Annie, do you like going to schools
asked visitor of an amiahle girl who had
never been famous for devotion to her books.
"Ye-es," said Annie, hesitatingly, after
some consideration, 81 really think like it

THAT'S coed. And why do you like ita'
"Well, there are so many pleasant things
about it, said Annie, with smile over re-
malemhered joys. "Walking to the school

with the girls at recess, I'll coming home at
noon and night. Oh, yes, really think l
like to go to school!"-Youth' Companion.

A Penitent Monkey.

Spring brings the turnpike musicians and
monkeys in great numbers While one pair
of these were giving concert on Main street
in Carbondale, Pa, to a crowd of youngsters
and two inebriated countrymen, one of the
men gave the monkey cent, for which it
DOTTED its cap jauntily. Then the country
man leased the little animal until at last it
buried its teeth in the mans finger to the
bone. When the blood gushed from the
wound the monkey looked regretfully at the
finger, then into the mans face, and handed
back his money. No amount of persuasion
would induce the penitent animal to again
accept the coin, though it was repeatedly
offered and though he accepted money from
others all around him.-New York CONNER

Only Two of Them.

Tbs illiterate whites in the mountains Of

auested those Of his hearers who wanted to go

SOME DAY.

Some day think you will be glad to knov
That have kept you ever in my heart.
And that MY love has only deeper grown.
In oil the time that we have lived apart.
some day, when you have slipped away from care
And idly fall to dreaming of the past
And sadly think Of all your life has missed
VIII you remember my true love at lastp
Or will it come to pass some dreary night
After day that has been hard to bear
When you are weary, heart sick and forlorn.
And there is none to comfort and to care:
That you will close your tired eyes and dream
or tender kisses falling soft and light,
or restful touches smoothing back your hair
And sweet words spoken for your hearts de.
light?
Perhaps. then you'll remember and be glad
That so long have kept you in my heart
And shat your souls true home will yet be there
Although we wander silent and apart.

Needed Money for a Grave.

The other day in Nashville an old colored
man wandered through the streets carrying
under his arm small coffin in which was the
body of his infant child. He had scraped
together enough money to buy the coffin, and
with it under his arm had trudged out to a
suburban cemetery, which had refused to al
low the interment because he could not pay
for the grave. So he came back with the
grewsome burden to beg enough to pay fof
