Three little dirty, half clad girls made
brief sensation on upper Broadway the
coldest day recently. The eldest was
not more than eight, and her companions
might have been six and seven respec-
lively. The eight-year-old carried a
faded, rib rotten parasol that had once
been pale blue, and her two companions
were trying to squeeze their heads un-
der it, while they carried the rear of
their short dresses in one hand, as ladies
manipulate their trains at a muddy
crossing.
The eldest divided her attention be-
tween the proper angle for the parasol
and getting her little skirt down low
enough to touch the sidewalk, which
she occasionally accomplished by stoop-
ing. Three pairs of feet were visible
through the dilapidated shoes, and the
shabby old July hats wouldn't have
been picked out of the gutter. And
these three little girls playing lady on
Broadway were evidently delighted al
the good humored attention of stalwart
gentlemen in heavy ulsters, ladies in
costly furs and carriage drivers mufded
to the ears in warm ivery.--New Yor1

In laying in your winter stock of
mummies be careful to buy only the
genuine.
The habit of making limitations of ar
ticles has extended even to the produc-
tion of counterfeit back number subjects
of the defunct Pharaohs. Now, ordina-
rily when one buys thing he wants il
fresh; but this rule does not hold good
in the mummy trade. The staler they
are the better, from commercial point
of view.
The high price of authentic mummies
in a good state of preservation has led to
the practice of manufacturing them. to
order, and the man who contemplates
the purchase of a dozen or so of these
cheerful objects should see that he gets
what is left of something which once
walked and talked in Egypt 5000 or
1000 years ago.
The mummy trade has been very ac-
tive of late. Ordinary Egyptian citizens
who have had no further use for them
selves for thirty or forty centuries can
be bought for about fifty dollars at Cal
ro, but a bettes quality of individual
prince or high priest, for instance
comes as high as $500 or even more.
If you should find in mummy foI
which you paid 800, say, a lot of gold
and jewelry worth about 81 900, you can
be confident that the thing is genuine.
An Psychologist named Mosconas once
made a small fortune in the purchase of
one mummy which had once contained
| a rich mans vital spark. The chest,
which had been separated from the vital
organs before embalming, had been filled
again with gold and precious stones.-

Explaining a shower of Blood.

No phenomena of nature have excited
more widespread CONSERVATION in an
cient and even in comparatively modern
times than the so called rains of blood,
stones, fishes and reptiles.
The peoples of antiquity regarded such
occurrences as dire warnings and por-
tends, and at the present day their occa-
sional happenings gives rise to much
wonder and actual fear. Nevertheless,
science has been able to ascertain the
causes which produce these remarkable
precipitations, which are accounted for
by reasons entirely commonplace.
In 1870 ''rain of blood" fell at The
Hague. The citizens got up in the morn
ing aud found that shower of crimson
fluid had fallen during the night. There
was great excitement and the occurrence
was looked upon as foretelling approach
ing war One level headed physician
got little of the strange water from
one of the canals and examined it under
microscope. He found that the fluid
had not really a red color, but was sim
ply filed with swarms of small crimson
animalctlles.
Further investigation showed these
ani1nalcules to be Il species of water flea
! with branching horns Presumably they
were brought from great distance by
wind and deposited with the rain. How
ever, Notwithstanding this explanation,
/ the Holianders persisted in regarding
| this affair from a superstitious point OF
view, and many declared afterward that
it was an omen giving warning of the
| desolation which vas subsequently
brought into the country with fire and
sword by Louis sXIV.-Washingto Star

Night ON THE LAKE.

In the autumnai cleaning, sad and chill.
The moorland mere in silent slumber lay:
Unruf1fed were its waters, darkly gray,
And all its sentinel reeds stood stiff and still;
The peewit's last good night fell clear and
shrill,
The west was dusky brown with dying day.
When came across the heather far away,
The CLEAN of moonrise DER the distant hill
Like flame that flashes through the cannon
smGke
A full moon climbed above the swaying frs
The rushes felt that herald breeze of hers:
They whispered to the water that awoke,
Athwart its face a golden ripple broke,
And the queen kissed her nightly worshipers.

why Meat Costs More Than Vegetables.
Meat is a manufactured product for
which a large amount of raw material is
required. The manufacture of meat is
a process of transforming the vegetable
protein, fats and carbohydrates of grass
and grain into the animal protein and
fat of beef, pork and mutton. The same
principle applies in the production of
milk, eggs and other animal foods. In
the most economical feeding of animals
it takes number of pounds of hay or
corn to make a pound of beef or pork.
In other words, let the farmer make ami
NAL protein and fat from vegetable ma
terials in the best way he can and still
he must consume large quantity of
soil product to produce small amount
of animal food. Hence animal foods are
costlier than vegetable.
This is the simple explanation OF the
fact that in most parts of the world
meat is the food of only the well to do,
while the poor live almost entirely on
vegetable food. Thus ordinary people
in Europe eat little meat, and in India
and China they have none at all. 1t is
hard enough for them to get the nutri-
ment they need in vegetable forms
Meats they cannot afford.-Professor At
water in Century.

In /. Street Car.


There was typical bit of life shown
in recent incident in Brooklyn street
car. Two fashionably dressed women,
strangers to each other, and each with
child on her lap, found themselves
seatmates in a crowded car. The hand
some blue eyed boy on one knee soon
fell a. victim to the coquetries of the
dainty little maiden with golden curls
and soft brown eyes on the other, and
to the mutual satisfaction of the parents
q pretty little Irritation went on.
Farther up the car on the other side a
plump, rosy checked miss of two years,
a comfortably clad but evidently poor
child, stood against her mother and ad-
miringiy watched the pair. At a certain
street the mother of the boy signaled to
stop kiss the baby" she said, as she
stood the little fellow on his feet, mean
ing of course Miss Golden Hair, and he
turned to obey.
At that moment, however, the other
little girl, making her way out with her
motIi"r was exactly abreast of him, and
Master Blue Eyes, finding this little face
before him, promptly bestowed sound
ing. hearty smack upon it. And every
body smiled, while the prince was led
out, the beggar maid wonderingly went
her way. and the disappointed princess,
who had leaned forward for the royal
salute, buried her face in her mothers
cloak. learning thus early in life the Bit
ter truth that the kiss is not always for
the one who expects it.-Her Point of
