Itreaking ct Gently.

In the province of Holstein, noted for
its superior breed of cattle, the country
people are not only very thrifty but ex-
ceedingly fond of their cows, as may be
gathered from the following character
istic story,
Farmer Jan was walking sadly down
the road one day when the village pastor
met him.
"Why SO sad, Farmer Jan?" said the
pastor
''Ah. have sad errand, pastor, !" said
Jan. 8F
"What is it,"
Farmer Henriks cow is dead in my
pasture. and am on my way to tell
him"
"a hard task, JAN"
"Indeed it is, but / shall break it to
him gently"
"How will you do that?"'
II shall tell him first that it is his
mother who is dead, and then, having
opened the way for sadder news still. ]
shall tell him that it is not his mother,
but the cowi'-Y Youths Companion.

The Minneapolis Mummy.

There has long been a veil of mystery
and romance enshrouding the mummy
which Thomas Lowry loaned for exhibi-
ton at the public library. Something
like year ago Miss Amelia B. Edwards,
who is supposed to be an expert in such
matters, was in Minneapolis, and was
called on to shed some light upon the in
dividuality bf this mummy. With a
great flourish the result of her investiga-
tions was proclaimed to an anxiously
waiting world
Her dissertations were limited to the
exter7or enablems, for the INSIDE facts"
were not thea revealed. Miss Edwards
was quites Positive that the body was
that of woman, Amen-hotep by name.
Miss Edwards wrote out the following
ing as the correct reading:
A royal Offering to Osiris god of the dead of
beeves, cakes, geese, cakes, -, the priestess
of the Lady (goddess) Hathor grants to her ka
life principe); sepulchral meals, cakes, barley
beer, beeves, geese, -, cakes pure water, and
barley beer to the Osiris, Amen-hotel justified.

somewhere Either Miss Edwards had
not read the hieroglyphics correctly or the
ancients had misplaced the body. The
body nnfolded to their gaze was certain
ly not that of a woman at all. Of this
there could be no doubt, and as soon az
the professor and his assistant recovered
from their astonishment they read the

WhaIebone Is Scarce.

There is remarkable scarcity OF
whalebone in the market at present, and
in consequence the poorest qualities are
being disposed of at prices heretofore
hardly ever realized for the best that the
hardy New bedford men could procure.
Parts of bone usually discarded few
wears ago are now staple article, and
find ready purchasers among manufact-
urers.
What little bone of first quality that
is placed upon the market is sold at prices
which will a4tonish persons not familiar
with the trade A well known Pearl
street firm disposed of several thousand
pounds several days ago at $500 a
pound, and b similar figure has been
realized by dealers in Europe.
"Mhalebore is getting scarcer every
season." said an old South street whale
ship boat ~steerer, "an' pretty soon there
4 won't be any at all. The blackfsh,
humpbacks and sperm whales, from
which most of the bone is taken, don't
breed very fast. They are killed off
faster than they breed, and in conse-
quence it is only question Of time
when they will be exterminated alto
gether, and the humpback will be as
; much curiosity as the departed mann
moth.
J There's no more money in whaling

, body but the big concerns what controls

Enects of African Arrow Poison.

It has been conjectured that the fatal
effects of African arrow poison are not
always due entirely to the poison itself,
and with view of determining how far
fear and other influences enter into the
results of its exhibition series of exs
periments in inoculating the lower ami
mails has been proposed. One of the
poisons with which the arrows Of the
Africans are smeared is dark substance
like pitch. It is strong enough to kill
elephants, and is considered SO danger
ouss that its preparation is not allowed in
the villages, but is carried on in the
bush, where also the arrows are smeared.
The virulence of the poison is remark
able; faintness,, palpitation of the heart,
nausea, pallor and the breaking out oi
beads of perspiration all over the body
follow with extraordinary promptness
and death ensues.
One of Stanley's men is said to have
| died within one minute from mere pin
hole puncture in the right arm and right
| breast; another man died within an houl
| and quarter after being shot; and
woman died during the time she wa
| carried distance of hundred PAGES
The activity of the poison seems to de
pend on its freshness. The treatmen
| adopted was to administer an emetic. t.
suck the wound, syringe it, and inject ;
strong solution of carbonate of ammonia
The carbonate of ammonia injection
seems to have been wonderful antidot
