Mummies of Egyptian Kings.

In 1884 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. /, 1886, 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 we'll 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.

s1eapinr of the word No.eoav

Here is an old derivation of the wol
nosegay; LAS to the latter part of the
word nosegay, it is SO transformed in sight
and Specification that only such judicious
writer and etymologist as Cleland would
have traced it to its original" In mis- Celtic
vocabulary, page 2, he says: Gay, applied
to nosegay, comes from the Erse tongue, in
which geach signifies bough or bunch of
flowers, which might be held to the nose"
Webster's substantially follows the
above and The Century literally, pretty
thing to smell; nose added to gay, bunch
OF flowers used to regale the sense Of smell
a posy, bouquet. 1t certainly is not in
form to call formally made bouquet a
nosegay, says the Florists Exchange.

Catherine De aIedici and Her Stockings

Every one, at least every one who is q
woman, knows that ''Thou shalt not we
wrinkled and untidy hose" is the first a
great commandment in the woman's deca-
logue-its violation the one objectionable
sin. The woman with wrinkled stockings,
like the man who cheats at cards, is de-
spised and dishonored by her kind. But
how many women know that it was
great lady who originated this test of WON
anly virtue, and that the lady was no less
a parsonage than she of the stately collars
Catherine de Medici3 Up to her time
stockings were worn wrinkled upon the
ankle like evening gloves, and what dreary
days it must have been for thin ladies OF
her court when this royal and doubtless
shapely sovereign insisted on smooth, trim
stockings?

fury. 1t is distinctly one Of the character
istic allegorical decorations of early Eng
lish work. The eagle displayed is another
emblem of very frequent occurrence OF
ecclesiastical vestments of the Middle Ages
and seems to have been of considerable an
tiquity. 1t may have been abusive in the
first instance to the eagle mentioned by
Ezekiel, but it also had another signif-
cation 1t was always an emblem of power
and supremacy. Homer calls it the bird OF
Jove
Birds of prey have always been regarded
as omens of good or evil, but the birds most
venerated in the age of chivslry were the
swan and the peacock. Around these gather
romantic associations, and we may be quite
sure whenever we meet with them-and we
meet with them continually-in relics OF
the Middle Ages, that there is some touch
ing or chivalrous story connected with
them We find examples of the swan and
the peacock mingled with the heraldbe de-
vices Of knights and noble families in the
embroidery of the age of chivalry. The
romances of the period abound with refer
ences to the "vowis of pecok and swan"
The swan and the peacock were deemed
royal birds and emblems of royalty before
prowess. The great warrior kings and theiI
knights made their solemn vows of dedica-
ton or enterprise by the God of heaven and
the royal birds.
Other birds are frequently introduced
symbolically. Parrots are represented in
ecclesiastical work in connection with the
wise men of the Epiphany and gifts from
Saba They were tabled to have whispered
to the Queen of Saba the doings of Solo
mon and brought around their necks letters
from him. They appear on the vestments
Of old St. Paul's. Wherever met with,
they have an eastern significance, and de-
note wealth and greatness, with an espe-
cial reference to the glory of Solomon or
the gifts of the magi.
The Star of Bethlehem often appears in
connection with them, overlapping the
Islam badge of the crescent moon on the
blazons of the crusaders. The swan was
also employed as symbol of stainless pu
rity and majestic beauty in women, and
was therefore often represented in connec-
ton with the virgin There are examples
of swans with women's heads, and they
often occur on Orfrays of the Fourteenth
century.

he is not footing it for glory. He com
menced his cinder path career in 1851. and
finished third in a two mile handicap at
the Godalming games. His record and last
race that year was more successful, for he
won two mile handicap at St Adams.
1t was not, however, until October, 1870,
that he began TO do wonders with his pedal
extremities. That month he captured the
thirty mile amateur walk from scratch.

actually for his defense. The custom had
