Take a Day in Bed.


There is no better preventive OF
nervous exhaustion than regular, I'M
hurried, muscular exercise. If we
could moderate our hurry, lessen our
worry, and increase our open-air exer.
else, large proportion of nervous dis
ease would be abolished. For those
who can get a sufficient holiday the
best substitute is an occasional day in
bed. Many whose nerves are constant
ly strained in their daily avOcation
have discovered this for themselves.
A Spanish merchant in Barcelona told
his medical man that he always went to
bed for two or three days whenever he
could be spared from his business, and
he laughed ut those who spent their
holidays on toilsome mountains. One
of the hardest-worked women in En-.
gland, who has for many years con.
Quoted large wholesale business, ne.
tains excellent nerves at an advanced
age, owing, il is believed, to her hab.t
OF taking one day week in bed.

AmbcrgriS. which is used as basis
for nearly all standard perfumcry, was
found an unattractive mass floating on
the surface Of the sea or lodged upon
the shore, says the american ARdiySt.
How so.unlikely Il substance ever sug-
gested itself rs perfume is unknown,
but it has been in use for centuries. and
it is only in comparatively recent times
that its origin has become known. 1t
is nothing more than the morbid secre-
ton of the liver of sick spermaceti
whale. 1t is described az fatty, waNy
substance, disagreeablo TO sight or
touch, but even in its crude state en-
haling pleasant odor. The crude
substance is subjected to chemical ac-
ton TO extract the active principle,
called amberine. 1t was recently re-
lorted that Il Maine fisherman picked
up mass of the substance which near
" filled barrel and is worth $25, 900.
This is probably an eXaggeration both
as to size and price, for the largest
piece on record was found on the
Windward islands, weighing 1870
pounds. This was sold for about 81
600. Amber WAS also first found on the
shores of the sea after severe storms.
For time its origin was unknown, but
ii was early put to use and regarded
with a superStitious awe by the ancient
Greeks and Romans, its peculiar cleo
trical qualities. being noted by them.
1t is now thought to be the gum of for
eS: trees which persisted ages and ages
ago, the lands upon which they flour.
ished having become the oceans bed.
Amber has no fixed value. the price be-
ing regulated wholly by size. quality,
and other considerations. Drops of
amber in which are embedded insects
of those ancient times command fancy
prices, while the more common kinds
are used for making certain kind OF
varnish and even in medicine. The
worlds supply of the two, amber and
ambergris, does not wholly depend on
what may be accidentally found.
Dredging for amber is now systemat-
ically carried on by regularly organized
companies, and all Spermaceti whales
killed by whalemen are subjected to a
pretty thorough pOst-mOrtem eXamina-
ton, the find of ambergris in the mon
ster's interior often being vastly more
valuable than the oil extracted from
his blubber overcoat.

Senator Ingalls, Romance.

The romance of Senator ingalls, was
one of love at first sight. He was a
struggling young lawyer of Kansas and
had hung out his shingle in little

Of the frontier wasted their sweetness
upon other nostrils than his. One day
he was asked to be groomsman at a
friends wedding, and while so acting
saw that one of the bridesmaids was cX-
ceedingly fair. He was introduced to
her as Miss Anna Cheescborough, and
he learned that she was the daughter
OF a New York merchant who had come
to Atchison to live. In company with
her he journeyed for day with the
new bride and groom and Dan Cupid

the two separated, each in love with
the other. Ingalls, made arrangements
to call, and after short courtship he
popped the question and received an
acceptable answer. He was candi.

The Society Kiss.

o. every one knows what bliss in a kiss IL,
That's given and taken with plenty OF love;
It's one thing ut least that never amiss is
That no ones below, and no ones above.
But save us, good Jupiter, save us from kisses
Society ladies exchange when they meet;
For clammest, coolest OF courtesies this is
Sanslsympathy, sugar, and served without
heat
Motion one-Purse the lips Just ever so little;
Motion two-Stick your head out, your model

And using them roughly would cause them

To look like a statue or death mask of wax

Development OF an Incident that Occurred
-Four Thousand Years Ago.

The momenteous fact now bursts up.
on the world, says the Lecdnt Herdid,
that in the fourteenth year of the reign
of Ptolemy Philadelphus one of the
royal gooseherds wrote a letter stating
that he could not supply twelve geese
wanted for the kings festival. Or this
simple fact the world has been in ignor-
ance for over 1000 years, yet we are
now assured of il on as irrefragable his
torical evidence as that which tells us
that the Pharaoh of Joseph's time i'm
prisoned his chief butler and chief
baker for probably as small an offense.
1t comes about in this way: The state
paper concerning the royal geese was
duly pigeon-holed, and, after the lapse
of years perhaps, was sold as waste
papyrus. 1t fell into the hands OF the
undertakers, who used il all along. with
lot of similar material, in making
the cartonnage head-case for num-
my,
This mummy was entombed in the
metropolis of little town (the site is
called Tell Gurob mt this day. which
began to fall into decay about the time
of Menepthaw, the supposed Pharaoh
OF the Exodus. 1t has been disinterred
by Mr.. Petric in the course of his last
seasons excavation in the Fayoum.
The head-case, with thin covering
over all, was soaked in water. and the
papyri of which it Was composed be-
came separated without injury to the
original writing. Thus we came to
know about a great many other far more
interesting facts in connection with
everyday life affairs of the Egyptians
Of that epoch, for there are lots of
mummies and quite Il crop of Ptole-
mate documents, and many of them
will soon be in the actual custody of
the British authorities. Considering
the progress that has been made in
Egyptology during the present century,
and the abundance of fresh material
that has been brought to light of recent
Years, the next generation may be able
to learn rs much about Egyptian an
tiquities rs the present one can about
Grecian or Roman.
From records previously recovered it
appears to be established that Egean
Greeks visited Egypt quite 4,S0o years
ago. During his last seasons explora-
tons Mr.. Petrie eXhumed at Illabun
some pottery of that period stamped
with alphabetical characters which are
Seithcr hieroglyphic FOR hieratic.
There is nothing to show that these
two facts are in any way connected.
But he cxhumcd at Tell Gurob a quau-
tity of pottery of undoubtcd Cypriote
and Mycen@n types, and which belongs
to y period somewhat anterior to tie
Exodus. These. curiously enough, Al,
incised with characters of very SINH
lar description. The obvious inference
is that these alphabetic characters are
very early Greek or PhGnecian. Should
the conjecture prove to be well found
ed it would lead to some very startling
conclusions. 1t has generally been ac-
ceptcd that the Homeric epics were
preserved by oral tradition and edited.

these discoveries of MIR. Petrie suggest
the astounding possibility that the

A Lewiston little boy declared a
philoSophic independence and accept

a way last week that it may make Il
story, even if it is not so very funny.
His mother dressed him up in flannel

The shirt irritated his cuticle, or. in
other words. he itched. When he came
home that night he was cross and very
cross for so small boy and he declar-
ed that he and the flannel had parted
company for ever. The next morning
as his mother prepared to dress him
for school the boy drew the line at the
shirt. NO. said he. Il don't wear
that shirt" A brief debate cnsued. in
which the boy appeared to have form
ed his opinion and decided to stick to
it. The question when put to the
house. was carried by the boy, who
would not don the shirt. If YOU will

showing no sign of change of heart.
