Mummies of Egyptian Kings.

In 1854 a number OF mummies, believed
to be those of royal personages, were found
near Thebes, Egypt. They were removed
to the Boulak museum, where they were
examined one by one by Mr. Maspero, the
director general Of the excavations and an
tiquities of Egypt, assisted by other arch
biologists. Jan. l, 1885, the mummy of
Rameses II was unbandaged The identity
Of the mummy was attested by the official
entries bearing dates of the reigns of the
high priests under whom they were made
written on the lid of the wooden mummy
case, and also on the outer winding sheet
of the mummy.
Rameses ii was the Pharaoh of the
Oppression" who made the lives of the
children of Israel bitter with hard bond
age, in mortar and in brick, and in all
manner of service in the field" and who
ordered that all the men children of the
Hebrews should be killed to prevent the
strengthening of the captive race The
mummy is described as being well pre-
served and giving good idea of the kings
appearance when alive. The forehead is
low and narrow, the eyebrows thick and
white, the eyes small and close together
the nose long, thin and hooked, the cheek
bones prominent, the mouth thick Tipped
and firm set, and the jaw bones massive
and strong.-lnter-Ocean.

The Piccadilly Swing.

New YORK. Paperl
The horse show left us good many
ridiculous legecies, but nothing quite
so silly as the P,ccadilly swing, which
has come to us from London. 1t is
not confined to sex. But it is most
noticeable in slim ,oang men and
horsey girls. 1t consists OF bending
the body to!erably we'll forward, and
walking in a long, swingng gait, much
as boy does on stills. The body is
bent some " hat like one who is suff,r-
ing from pain in the internal re-
gians. An umbrella or cane is
carried in the right hand, and the left
is allowed to swing IDLY like wind
mill on a spree. Que must not look
either to the right o. left, and the
face must wear vacant stare-an
easy matter, it has been noticed, for
those who thus play the fool.

to say nothing about the matter until
he should have completed his investi-
CATION, and determined upon a line Of
action. This would not be later than
Monday 'ast-the 7th inst !. and he
would then give detailed stateme mt

Oft is just here that the great stores
of to-day step in. They are based
largely on this modern idea of buy
ing in bulk from first hands, and
turning over the goods to the con-
sumner at a small profit. Such stores
require large capital and trade to
succeed, and naturally are found
only in large cities. But for Mail
ordershopping, out-of-town residents
would be shut off from the great ad-
vantages they undoubtedly confer.
Few large stores have a Mail
order service, although with us that
has grown to be a leading feature of
our business,-due, perhaps, to the
fact that people have learned to
know that they can write to us for
what they want, and be as well
served as if they came in person.
Mail-ordcr shopping puts before the
residents Of small towns the chance
to get the same goods and prices rs
city trade. To our mind, the value
to them of that privilege cannot be
overestimated.
Thus it is pleasant to know that
customers are reaping as much or
moro benefit from the various trans
actions of this business as the bust
ness itself. The profits made from
their trade may be seen concen-
trated in the beautiful new building,
with its great stock. but what the
business has done in return is only
known and appreciated in the tens

Very truly,
RORERT r. BROWNE

Last Saturday morning Mr.
Browne, during an interview in the
TINES office, stated how he had got
the ore together, and explained how
and why he knew it to be so rich He
said, in substance:
'T,ast July took working bond,
for one year, on the Last Chance mine
That property, as you are aware, is
famed for its rich gold ore. La fact,
there is scarcely another mine in Idaho
which has yielded SO many specimens
rich in free goll.
"Wtl, put men to work. When
ever any ore came to the surface l
would break it up in pieces the size
of walnuts and whenever l saw evil
dences OF special value in a piece
would carefully set it aside. The re-
mainder would go to the general ore
dump for milling.
81 would then reduce the pieces
the size of walnuts to about the size
of marbles, and carefully examine
them with glass. washing each piece
in clear water. Every little chip or
fleck of quartz not showing metal |
sg lin broke off and threw on the mill
ing ore dump. After thus thoroughly
washing and sampling, and assuring
myself that each AMI every small mar
BILE contained gold, put the stuff in
boxes which carried to my bedroom,
where they were kept under lock and
key. Ali this ore that | sent here
was therefore water sampled and
known to be rich.
"As to my inilyi 'ual sampling, that
was done steadily by breaking small
lecks off of each marble, grinding
them in a hand mortar, and panning.
This was done with each and every
piece of ore, no matter how small.
therefore got fair average; and the
value of the ore was so well estab-
lished that my engineer offered me
$500 cash for one sack Of it.
ANY miner will know that the ore
must be riot. when II is stated that the
concentrates taken from Free warmers
only weigh Ia pounds per sack,
while my ore or--and, mind you, this
in its native state, Only washed as
above s,ated-weighed loo pounds
per sack.

WHITE LEAD.

During the debate on tho Mckinley
bill the supporters Of the measure
vehemently denied that the trusts and
combinations protected by it were
selling their goods at lower prices
= eabroad than at homo. Those who
claimed that such was the case were
invariably called "liars, !" traitors" aud
skaters of American industry"
After the bill was passed, however,
the McKinleyites began one by one
n to admit the truth Of these assertions
Thus the Chicago Inter Ocean, a rabid
Mckinley organ, said Of the cartridge
combines: "Four concerns, protected
by stiff tariff against foreign COM
petition, combine and crush out and
% buy out all competitors in this coun-
try, and thus compel every American
consumer to pay % per cent. more for
goods than a Canuck has TO pay for
the same goods, or q Greaser in
Mexico. This is protection with u
vengeance--protectio to what might
easily be styled wholesale robbery"
But there are other combines which
do the same thing. Thus the white
lead trust, with lts capitalization Of
e89, 447 600, controls the whole trade
in white lead in the United States and
charges American consumers all that
the duty OF three cents per pound will
allow. How it does this is shown | y
the following from Hardware, q paper
published in Toronto: "The United
Suites white lead trust has price
for the Canadian market that 10 as
firmly held down below the cost OF
profitable prod uction as the home
market price of the same trust is
firmly held above it. United States
white lead is quoted TO BIZ laid down
here in carloads. minus the Canadian
duty, ut $40 per hundred pounds
spot cash. The Canadian government
justly requires that the duty Of 3 per
cent. be calculated, not on the price
quoted here, but upon that quoted to
the united trade that is, upon $3.50
which makes the total cost laid
down hero S4.02L."
Is not this 'protection with VEN
Reance; protection to what might be
styled wholesale robbery?"-IEx.
