Inrollinc A Mummy

At the Botanical theatre of Univer.
sity college, Cover street, in the pres
ence of "A large company of professors,
students and the general public, an
Egyptian mummy from upper Egypt
was unrolled by Mr.. Z. A. Wallis
Bulge, of the British museum, who
has had considerable experience in
such spelling of the Egyptians" and
did not seem TO shrink from the task
of dissecting a possible ~subjectof Cleo
patra or one of the Pharaohs. Though
the process occupied nearly two hours,
it was watched intently by the spec
tators, and when, disentangled from
yard upon yard of the swathing cloth
in which il had been been wrapped,
the outline Of the figure appeared
clearly, the interest increased. Bekk
Ran, as Mr.. Bulge informed his audi
ence, could hardly have been a person
of high rank. as there was neither
ring nor scarabeus. The whole body
had been incased in bitumen. Strange
ly enough, the authorities of the col
lege know nothing Us TO where the
mummy came from, or who placed it
in the college museum. 1t was posi-
bly, hard on the deceased Bekk and his
family when a young lady observed
that the only use TO which mummies
could possibly be devoted was the de-
velopment of tooth powder. London

Mars Polar Cans.

The curious suggestion made by
Mr.. s. L. Peal, of Assam. India, in
demonstrating that Greenland is COW
cred by q huge ice cap, may have un-
consciously solved an interesting
problem in astronomy. II has long
been noticed that the polar caps of
Mars are not Numerically opposite,
the southern II not being centrally
placed over the axis OF rotation, and it
now appears that a like anomaly may
exist on the earth. In antarctic waters
are seen immense fiat top bergs of ice
1000 feet high and several miles long,
which are evidently fragments broken
from a permanent cap directly over
the south pole; while in the arctic
regions thin field ice preponderates,
and bears out the assumption that the
north pole is covered by a deep sea,
quite free from islands, in which the
ice finds no anchorage and is floating
and temporary. Nansen's recent ex-
petition, therefore, may result in
proving that the Greenland continent
underlies one Of the two polar ice caps
Of the earth, and is giving a clew TO
the condition of Mars by showing a
closer resemblance TO our planet than
had before been observed.-New York

Murder ON n Lonely Island.

On Christmas eve, 1il3, Capt. Man.
ne Tetten, Of Archsum, landed with his
five Gamer in the neighborhood of
Eidum, an ancient village in the
strange and lonely island Of Sylt,
which lies OF the coast of SchleSwig-
Holstein. 1t was tcmptaouS weather,
and the little party, returning from
the merry making of their Tristan
homes, were set upon and murdered
by a gang of robberS. To conceal
their crime the murderers hastily bur.
led the bodies of the victims in n of
the deep hollowS between high sand
hills, which was locally known as the
Dickiendal, and made off with their
booty. But murder will o~ut-though
among those Dunen of all places,

Dickjendal shortly afterwards was
Mortified To see IA mans arm pointing
straight from the sand, rs if calling
heaven To his aid. She quickly
sought assistance and the fate Of Man
ne Tettcn and his crew WAS discovered.
In an island full Of legendary lore il
is not surprising TO hear that the ghost
OF Name Tetten walked the lonely
shore, with hand outstretched 10 God
for vengeance. BE this as it may, the
discovery of the murder was made in

The Other Side.

| hardly pick up a paper but that ]
read something about BARRIERS. 1t is al
ways the complaint of the customer
about the talking barber, the l~istless
barber, the barber that wants TO make
a shampoo or a hair cut or something
of the kind. But the barber rarely
gets his side OF the case into print. He
might have something to say about
the tidgety, restless, nervous, cranky
people who get into the chairand want
10 be shaved in less than q minute,
aud who seem TO think that a razor
should create no more sensation on the
face than a sponge or a breath. Ii is
all very well TO talk about the barber
with liquor on his breath. This is
much exaggerated. A man cannot
drink and hold his place in a first class
shop. But the customers breaths.
Sometimes they are simply awful; but
the barber cannot complain. lie has
got To get used TO it, just as a man does
who works in a fertilizer factory or a
tannery, although it takes a long time
To become hardened to it. Whisky,
onions. garlic. decayed teeth and dis
ordered stomachs are some of the
causes. | really believe that the unu-
sual mortality among BARRIERS is as
much due 10 being poisoned by inhal-
ing poisonous breaths AS to the con-
iinement of the occupation. Barber

Couldn't Equal "Arizoney."

Old Judge McCorkle, of Arizona.

took with him a large quantity OF the
latter. He SOLE a mine for something
over two hundred thousand dollars.

Having a wholesome distrust Of banks,
acquired frum his experience of them
in Arizona the judge placed his coin
in the safe deposit vaults and has ever
since liyel On his principal, drawing
on the original stock of twenty dollar
pieces there whenever his purse runs
low. When the judge first came to
San Francisco, he was somewhat dazed
by the rush and whirl of even that
not too densely populated city. But
with true provincial pride, he deter
mined TO conceal his feelings. II was
this frontier hauteur which actuated
his retort in the following dialogue.
The judge entered the breakfast room
in one OF the large hotels the morning
after his arrival in San Francisco. The
waiter presented TO him that long and
involved document from which Ameri-
can chart out the morning meal. The
judge regarded it apprehensively and
said: Young man, gimme some fri

speak no Spanish. hayi Well, gimme
some beans" Very sorry, sir, but
We do not serve beans at breakfast,

the judge, sarcasticslly; you don't

Don't Rub the Eve.

When you get a cinder or speck Of
dust or other offensive particle in your
eye, don't rub it. Don't touch it.
Don't pull down the lid. Don't put
your hand real it. Let it alone. This
is very hard advice to follow, aud in
nine cases out of ten you will find
yourself rubbing your eye before you
know il. But If you can refrain from
touching your eye at all the action OF
that organ will itself cast out the Of
Tending mote in much quicker time,
an6 with far less irritation, while your
efforts would only hinder it and per
haps fasten the intruder SO that it will
stay a long time. OF course II 1t Is a
particle Of metal you will consult a
surgeon or ocuhst at once; but ordi-
nary substances are best treated a.
above indicated. Some people say,
Rub the other eye" but this is Of no
use.-Good Housekeeping.

Introduction Of Envelopes.

Before Sir Rowland Hill introduced
the penny post, envelopes were little
used, as a double charge was made
for a paper inclosed in another, how
ever thin each might be; even the
smallest clipping from a newspaper
necessitated an extra fee. The use of
envelopes became common after May
9, 1870, when stamped and adhesive
envelopes were introduced. The first
envelope making machine was invent
ed by Edwin Hill, brother Of Rowland
Hill; and DE La Rueis machine for
folding envelopes was patented March
IL, 1876. The invention of envelopes
has been attributed TO 5. X. Blower, a
bookseller and stationer of Brighton,
about 1880. He had some small sheets
Of paper on which it Was difficult ~
write the address; he invented for
these a small envelope, and had metal
plates made for cutting them 10 the
required shape and size.-New York
Telegram.

A Poets Lot Is Not A Moneyed One.

l was talking a few evenings ago
with a young poet whose name is ia
miliar to every magazine reader, and
whose work the editors of periodicals
receive with more favor than that of
any other of the young school Of YER
sifiers. In fact, he is accepted by the
public and recognized by his brother
authors as one of the most successful
young poets Of today. Now, what

Active Organization Through
ont the State.
POLITICAL CONTINGENCIES.
The Membershfp Doubled In . Fev
Meaths-Kxtens Of Their lanaence
On Party Platforms.

CoLrAx. April 2i-The Farmers ALI
ance promises 70 play an important part in
the politics of Whitman county, il not OF
the state. this year. The rapidity with
which the organization is spreading its in
fiuence and making nc cessions to Its ranks
does not seem TO be so thoroughly compre-
hended by political leaders Is its import
ance jastifies, and il is time for an awaken
ing.
Whitman county is at present the field
Of strength of the alliance in the state, but
active organization is being extended TO all
the agricultural districts In the state
there are now between sixty and seventy
local alliances, strongly organised and on
good working basis. Forty OF these are
in Whitman county, and new ones are
constantly being chartered. Several OF
these local organizations have member
ships of from sixty 10 ninety. All are re-
ceiving additions rapidly. The total num-
Der OF farmers enrolled in these forty alli-
ances. as active members, Is conservatively
estimated By their leaders at LOO, while
they feel themselves absolutely safe in
placing it at 1000. The past few months
have been prosperous ones for the organ
ixation. Since last November almost every
local alliance has doubled its membership,
while the total has more than doubled.
In Whitman county the power OF the
alliance is much more than sufficient to en-
able il to dictate the election or defeat Of
any man who comes up for official honors,
on either ticket, should 1t throw ITS weight
to one side or the other.
But the Farmers Alliance is not Q par
tisan organization. It's members are not
expected 10 forsake allegiance to any POI
litical party with which they may have
been won't TO affiliate, at the call of the
meeting. The only thing asked
OF member, in political matters. is that
he use his influence in the councils and
conventions of the party with which he
trains TO secure the nomination and cleo
ton of such men To Office rs viii best pro-
mote the interests OF the organization. and
whose principles are in sympathy with the
objects of the alliance. When his duty in
this respect is performed he has done all
asked of him ana he is free to vote rs he
pleases. for or against his party nominees.
The leaders and officers of the alliance
stoutly disciaim any desire on the part of
the organization TO assume entire DICTATOR
ship in any convention. They claim TO
want only just and fair recognition, ac-
cording to their strength. IL accorded
this the alliance, as . body, will be per-
fectly satisfied. This, they assert. the al
lance is entitled to and proposes to ask in
the local nominating conventions OF both
parties this year. What may or may not
be done in case their demands are not COM
piled with by the Democratic or Repuhli-
can managers. they are reticent about,
and can, OF course. only be 'conjectured.

passage OF the ordinance the city official
paper had Q strike on its hands and
