Walbridge surprised his baby Sun

prise it, he intended to amuse. He
had been to church, and on reaching
home drew his revolver from his pocE-
ct to put it away. The baby reached
for the weapon-a double action Yves
son-and il the baby wanted it the
baby must have it. Realizing that it
was a perilous Plaything, Walbridge
drew the cartridges = every one of
them-from the artillery, and then to
show the baby how to operate the toy
he pulled the trigger. That was where

The national museum of Egyptian
antiquities at Bulak contains a very
interesting collection of plants which
have been found in the catacombs and
sepulchral monuments of the country.
DR.. Schweinfurth was the first to study
this ancient flora, which contains no
example of a plant that does not grow
today in the Nile valley. Nor does the
most minute examination show the
least difference between the vegeta-
ton that fourished fifty centuries ago
and that of the present time. In some
cases the color of the flowers a be
clearly distinguished, as, for instance,
the purple lackspur, the red poppy,
the reddish brown saffron and the blue
lotus.
The leaves Of the watermelon con-
tain grains of chlorophyQ perfectly
visible in the microscope. All these
were found in great numbers in the
burial places of the fifteenth dynasty,
5000 years B. c., and in one tomb of
the same time some ears of barley. In
later monuments were discovered
mustard, fax, cucumbers, l%entils, pine
cones, juniper berries, dates, holly
hooks, chrysanthemums, figs, olives,
onions and grapes. Around the necks
and upon the breasts of the mummies
of HOO B. G. were garlands of celery
leaves and blue lotus flowers. In re
gard to the various specimens Of grain
discovered, it may be added hat no at
tempt to make them grow has ever
succeeded, the plants having been sub
jected to a great heat at the time of
embalming and burial, which, while
it preserved them, destroyed their ger
minating power. The cases in which
mummy wheat is said to have been
raised are due simply to the fraudu-
lent mixture of modern with the IN
cient grains. Exchange.

A New Quality of BenRalipe.

The Dry Goods Chronicle say that
a new and very heavy quality of BEN
galine has made its appearance, but its
thick cord, while rendering the fabric
remarkably handsome, prevents its
draping as gracefully as some of sthe
lighter varieties. 1t will, however, be
much admired, for in plain, undraped
arrangements its effect is very rich.
The principal shades in which it is of
fered was old rose, serpent, very dark
blue, emerald, golden brown, seal,
dove and putty. The dark blue,
browns, gray and putty are used for
long, wraps, upon which are placed
handsome decorations of fur and pas
sementerie. Court o~rfull, long trains
on evening gowns are elegantly made
of this heavy silk.

The Test Oath Constitutional.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The supreme
court of the United States today rem
dered al opinion affirming the oonstitu-
tionality of the Edmunds-Tucke Idaho
test oath. intended to prevent Mormons
from voting. The case came up on an
application for a writ OF habeas corpus,
made by Samuel D. Davis, who Is in Jail
in Idaho, having been sentenced for I'M
lawfully taking the prescribed test oath
when he was a member OF the Mormon
church. The court denied the application
tor a writ OF habeas corpus, holding that
polygamy is a crime aud that the consti
t%utional provision guaranteeing freedom
of religion is not intended to prevent the
punishment of any person who in the
nam of religion commits a crime in the
eyes OF the law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The journal
having been read in extension at the de-
mand Of the Democrats. O'Ferrall, of
Virginia. and Mckinley, of Ohio, were
upon their feet, the former with a mo-
ton to correct the journal and the latter
with a motion to approve that document.
The speaker recognized Mckinley, but
subsequently, on O'Ferrall's statement
that he was acting in good faith, recog-
nized that member, who stated the Jour
nal contained no reference to the fact that
the speaker on Saturday last would not
allow him to read evidence in the election
case as a part of his remarks. The speaker
said that the journal would be amended
to show the fact. Mckinley then de-
manded the previous Question on his mo-
ton to approve the journal, and the
speaker following his precedent of order
ing entered upon the journal the names
of a dozen Democrats present and not
voting) declared the previous question
ordered.
The Smith VS.. Jackson contested cleo.
ton case was then resumed after a mo-
ton by Bynum to adjourn had been voted
down and the speaker refused to enter
tain d~ilatory motions by Crisp. O'Ferrall
was recognized to continue his argument
in support of the claims of contestee in
the Smith vs.. Jackson case. At the close
of the arguments a vote was taken and
Smith contestant was declared entitled to
a seat BY a vote of Ice to nothing.
Amid Republican applause Smith APP
peared and took the oath of office,
whereupon Springer sarcasticallY inferred
whether this was a proper time to make
a motion to adjourn and with a similar
information of sarcasism the speaker re-
piled in the affirmative and the house
accordingly adjourned.

The ingenious puzzle illustrated in the
cut is an old friend. 4 ball slides down a
loose bit of string, but as soon as the string
is frightened the ball stops. This is not be
having as a well conducted ball should do,
for surely it should Slip more easily down
a taut string than a loose one.
Substitute a thin wire for the string and
would not the ball move along that more
easily? Try it. Do not pull the string out,
but put in the wire alongside Of 1.-THE
hole is large enough-and try what the eff
feet will be. The bali slips easily along
the wire, whether tight or loose. But
tighten the string and instantly the ball
stops on the wire.
Is there anything in the ball? Pull ont
the string and look down the hole Is
there anything in the way? No. Then
thread the string through it again. Won
der of wonders! though it is the same
string the ball now slips along the tight
string more easily than it does along he
loose one.

ton as follows; Gut the ball open and see
what is inside it. Ii you are lucky you

Tho Side Scat for Sate.
The animated discussion witch has been
raised respecting the safest ed most com /.
Portable seat for lady on h0.eback has 7
done little to throw light on Tue question
as to how English women rode when good
roads were scarce and whom ridug was the
only method Of travelling for th,se who did
not wish TO journey on foot.
The London Queen tells that il the early
illuminations which depict ladies' riding
they are represented as seated ideways,
generally on a saddle resembling pillion,
without pommcls, and Thomas Weight, in
his "lIistory of Domestic Manmrs and
Sentiments in the Middle Ages" tates it
as his opinion that the side seat has never
been abandoned from that time to the
present. In Archbishop Aelfric's tansla-
ton of the PcntateucL q lady is represent
ed seated sideways on horse, boiling a
whip in her hand with four kfotlcd
lashes, like sCoUrgo. In the same Ms,
when jacob rose up and set his sons and
his wives on cgmCls,' we find the women
seated sideways on the very extraordinary
animals that are made to do duty as Cqm-
els. When we come TO feudal times, h)w-
ever. there is equally clear evidence tlat
another style of horsomanship was re
ferrcd by the more active and hardy.
Throughout the whole period usual Y
called the Middle Ages the illuminated
manuscripts which depict ladies' hunting
and hawking parties invariably represent;
the huntrcss as seated astrido the horse.
The frequency with which the picture re-
ours shows that this method of riding was
not merely occasional, and it is well known

Everything is perfumed save the handker-
