The correspondent Of the London
Times at Alexandria, Egypt, states that
three colossal statues, ten feet high, Of
rose granite, have just been found at
Aboukir few feet below the surface.
The discovery was made from indica-
tions furnished to the government by a
local Investigator, Daninos Pasha. The
first two represent in one group Rameses
II and Queen Hentmara seated on the
same throne. This is unique among
Egyptian statues.
The third statue represents Raneses
standing upright in military attire, a
scepter in his hand and crown upon
his head. Both bear hieroglyphic in
scriptions, and both have been thrown
from their pedestals face downward.
Their site is on the ancient Cape Zephyr
inm, near the remains Of the temple Of
Venus and Arsinoe. Relics Of the early
Christians have been found in the same
locality.

4 sleep walkers rearfal Leap.

James s. Claque, stock raiser of
Greeley, Colo. walked into the police sta
ton at Burlington, Ia, recently, hatless,
coatless and generally bruised up, and
told remarkable story. He said he had
left his home to visit friends in Galya,
His, and had taken sleeper at Denver.
The last thing he remembers was retir-
ing to his coach. When he awoke he
was lying in tho ditch at the side of the
track not far from Burlington, badly
bruised and half frozen. He walked to
the police station from there. His theory
was that he had jumped from the train
while asleep when it was running full
speed. An investigation by railroad
authorities proves the truth Of the mans
assertion. He is now In the hospital

The Cxar In Plain Clothes.

When the emperor Of Russia passed
privately through Berlin the other night
he was attired in plain clothes, and it
was the first time that he had ever APP
peared in public thus arrayed. The en-
perors towering figure was not displayed
to advantage in loose suit Of brown
tweed, especially when contrasted with
the splendid Russian uniform in which
Prince Frederick Leopold appeared, and
his majesty was the only parsonage in
plain clothes. The emperor, who stopped
for nearly an hour at the Stettin line
station, dined on sandwiches, which he
washed down with several bowls of tea,
which was made on the spot by his own
servants, with his own caravan tea

A Categoric Answer.

The poet. in the dark Of night,
Disturbed in his repose,
Gets up and armed with boots and things
He to the window goes.
He lays his weapons on the sill,
Then lifts the sash with care.
And with supernatural yell
He fires them through the air.
His wife starts up in wild alarm.
And with dreadful shrek,
Shegrabs him and she cries: "Oh. Georgel
What is the matter? Speakl''
The poet thus appealed to could
Not possibly refuse.
And 50 he said, Vim making, dear,
My offerings to the news"

Il is Wen for the people to know that
the men placed in charge Of the World
Fair at Chicago ARE not sending about
the country buying historic buildings
or ancient cannon for exhibition. All
these schemes are individual enter
prises, and none of the purchases win
be allowed on the grounds at jackson
Park. The managers Of the Fair do
not propose to make the exhibition a
museum Of relies, no matter how M
teresting those relics may be. The
Fair is intended to showthe wonderful
growth and development Of this coun-
try and of the world-not what the
country used to be, but what it is.
