necent plscoverie. Ina Egypt.

The recent recovery OF lost work of
Aristotle In a papyrus OF the British Mu-
scum, which has created such a sensa-
tion In the world of letters, lends add
tional interest to the discovery OF a tomb
of tho high priests of Ammon In the
limestone mountain west OF Thebes The
tomb is twenty-five meters below the
surface and consists OF two stories, I'm
the lower OF which $40 sarcophagi have
already been discovered. also 100 papyri
and number OF statues Of Osiris, sis
and Nepthis The Oldest of the mum
mics dates hack to the eleventh dynasty,
$500 Ii. {.
What these papyri may disclose to the
wo Id is matter of profound interest to
scholars and students of history. And
in view OF the history OF the recovery OF
manuscripts much may be expected from
this grand discovery. AristOtle's works
were found in cellar after having been
unknown for more than two centuries
Quintillian's works were rescued from
dungeon in the fifteenth century; a copy
of Propertius was found under the casks
of wine cellar, and Magma Charta was
taken from tailor about to cut ii into
patterns.
Other instances equally remarkable
occur in the history of literary discovery.
Three hundred lines of Homer's Odyssey
were found in the hands Of a mummy; q
work OF Cicero was restored from a
palimpsest, and by means OF chemical
appliances a manuscript OF the greater
part of the New Testament, dating back
to the fifth century, gave up its charac-
tiers to nineteenth century scholars.
In view Of these and many similar In
Stances it seems by no means improba-
bic that we may recover other treasures
of learning, especially from the tombs of
Egypt 1t is satisfaction to know that
these explorations are in competent
hands, ard that these relics OF antiquity
will be carefully preserved 1t is i'm
possible TO replace all the valuable works
Of learning destroyed by the Saracens at
Alexandria, but much may be recovered.
From the relics of the earlier sarcophagi
we may yet learn the answer to the
questions propounded TO the mummy in
Belzoni's exhibition, from messages in
hands that may have

Money in Writing PLAYS.

The only branch of literary work Of
fering good remuneration is writing
plays, and il is no wonder the talented
men of literary bent seek to try their
hands at it. Bronson Howard has re.
ceived in royalties on the play "Shenan-
doah" SIS, 900, and it has been running
less than eighteen months Mr.. How
ards royalties for his other plays in that
time must have increased his income
some $40, 900 William Gillette has been
paid $72, COO on "Held by the Enemy" in
royalties in four years, and his roy
alties for other plays aggregate some
$1,000 year. De Mile and Belasco
have divided between them for the last
three years about $4,000 annually.
These are but few of many instances
of enormous sums made out Of play
writing.

Mistaken Identity.

An American lady visiting in Eng
land one day rashly alluded to fleas
by their common name, and it was
only when her English listeners
looked slightly Mortified that she
realized that she should have spoken
Of those offensive insects as "f sharps,
or applied TO them some equally
euphonious title. That unfamiliarity
with them is confined to their names,
rather than their persons, may be
guessed from the following story,
which is told about proposed enter
tainmcnt of performing fleas, long
while ago, before the King of Prussia.
All the royal party had assembled
about platform, on which the ex-
hibition was to take place. The en-
tertainment was called "Napolean
and his Generals"
The court sat in expectation, but
the professor" who was manager of
the affair, shook his bushy name and
rolled his eyes in anguish, while he
wrung his long hand, and marched
up and down his little cage. At last

He paused, and cast his eagle eye
over the distinguished company. He
observed that the princess royal fid-

soul into his eyes and voice, he APP
preached that august lady and the
King.
"Sire, madam, he cried, this eX-
hibitiOn is poor mans all! With
out Napoleon: his generals are value
less. There can be no entertainment
without him. An unfortunate en-
treats. Allow me-"
The princess wore an old-fashioned
flchu. In the fraction Of a second
the professor had turned back several
of its white folds, made a capture,
and proudly returned TO his, troop.
Arrived on the stage, he venturcd to

German

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts Of the lungs
wifi Ia lave been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter tho
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful. rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in short time consump-
tives become germ proof and well. u

As Pearson delivered himself of these
words he kept n close watch on Scraggs'
features. and though he spoke conf
IDENTIFY and with the utmost indiffer-
ence, he was greatly disturbed.
He was in constant dread lest
something should transpire to re-
veal to Scraggs the relation existing
between Blatchford and the Greens.
He became satisfied on the present oc-
casion, however, that Scraggs had as
yet received no intimation of the truth.
and he breathed easier. But Scraggs'
threat to write to Blatchford disturbed
him. He knew that it was not idly
made, and he also knew that if he did
write the whole truth would come out,
and, heartless as old Blatchford was, il
was hardly possible that he would sit
quietly with folded hands and permit
his granddaughter's ruin.
Such thoughts as these occupied Pear
sons mind, and he saw the necessity of
conciliating the irate agent.

pie of fools. don't care anything for

her. did make fool assertion a year

ting me have Green's note"
''No, l wouldn't, il / had il. Mills is
the man for You to see on that business"
Harry Pearson left the office directly,
and as he walked the street his mind
was busy with thoughts of the inter
view just ended.
"Old Scoggs is going to cause me
trouble" he unused, unless proceed
with the utmost caution. He's a sly old
devil, and now that he's set his mind
against me, he'll do everything in his
power to down me. 1t would be just
his way to write to old Blatchford, and
in that case the jig would be up with
me, for I'd not only have Blatchford
down on me, but my wife, too. This is
a blamed ticklish business, sure, and
the first thing know old Scraggs will
get wind, in some way, of the fact that
those Greens are old Blatchford's rela-
tives, and if he does old Blatchford will
know of their whereabouts, and come
hunting them up. Scraggs and Green
must be kept apart, and must move as
fast as possible. 1 must have Louise,

''Then win you make the cxchange?"

''That is impossible. Mr.. Pearson"
she replied quietly, totally ignoring the
meaning of his question. AT least /
cannot hope for such thing for u long
time"
He felt that the time had come to
speak out. Yet he hesitated. What he
had supposed an easy task he found
most difficult. He was reckless, hon
orless and heartless, but still he quailed
before this innocent girl - this girl
whom he loved to desperation. Away
from her presence he could deliberate
on his plan without qualm of con-
science, but her sweet face, her clear,
honest eyes disarmed and confused him
He felt small and mean, and the little
spark of manhood in him made an eff
fort to assert itself. For an instant he
was overwhelmed with the heinous-
ness of*his intended crime, and there
was n short conflict between his better
and baser natures, but the latter being
master of him soon asserted itself aud
crowded out all sense of shame and re-
greet.

man and wife and be as happy as
though we were. With old Blatchford's
money. which justly belongs to her and
her mother, she shall have all the COM
forts and pleasures of life, and live a
lady among the grandest."
Harry Pearson was not hardened lib
ertine, though he was unprincipled;
and it requires soul lost to all shame
and feeling to deliberately plot away
the virtue and innocence of n young,
trustful girl. Pearson's conscience
pricked him deeply, now that he was APP
preaching the climax of his purpose,
and to palliate it he sought by every
means to smooth away the evils of his
course and leave only the good it prom
ised to the poor girl-as though there
could any good come of n life of
shame, or any enjoyment from stolen
money.
