Yankee stock.
Then we must not forget that New Eng

ALEXANDER AND CLEoPAT RA.
Discovery of the Tombs of Those Great
Celebrities of Antiquity.

Discovery of the Tombs of Those Great
Celebrities of Antiquity.
l wrote'you from London, says cor
the discovery in Alexandria six weeks
ago of the tombs of Alexander and
Cleopatra. Here is the letter sent to
Aberdeen which describes the remark
able find:
''The tombs are intact and no doubt
as the excavations proceed the tombs
of all the Ptolemies will be brought to
light. There is no doubt about the
matter, as the names of the occupants
are over the doors. The doors are of
bronze and covered with Greek in
scriptions. Here and there the bronze
has corroded, so that with the aid of a
magnesium light they could see the
marble sarcophagi and lots of other
things in the rooms. Some of the
vaults seem to be full of rolls and
parchments, but this is mere guess
work on the part of the observers All
will be cleared up when the khedive
returns from Constantinople, as he is
to superintend the opening of Alexan-
der's and Cleopatra's tombs."
DR.. Grant Bey, the writer of the let
ter dated June II, goes on to say:
"Lots of beautiful vases and gold
things have been found, and most
beautifully executed stella, in whose
tomb they found crown of gold. My
information is at first hand, because |
had long conversation with the pro-
prietor of the land and the manager of
the digging this afternoon. In the
course of digging the Greek gentle-
man came upon pit that led down to
a series of vaults thirty feet below the
surface. These are the tombs of the
Ptolemies and the one exposed to view
is that of Cleopatra. The Others have
still to be excavated, but they are
there-only all the passages are filed
with earth. Twenty feet deeper, and
only six feet above sea level, is Alex
ander's tomb, all by itself, only there
are some chambers near it filled with
rolls and parchments-in other words,
library of ancient books.''

She Likes to Get Even.

other night q man and were out walk
ing and he asked me into drug store
to have some soda. Before we ordered
he asked the proprietor If he could
change ten dollar bill and that indi-
vidual snapped out No as though my
escort had insulted him. Leaving me
seated there, my man friend went
across the way, where he secured the
change right readily, and when he
came back we sat down to vanilla soda
and lemon phosphate, When every
drop was gone fifty cents was offered in
payment, and was just ticlSled to
death when the cross old thing couldn't
change that either. There We were in
two drinks and the grabbed druggist
had to see us depart without his pay.
My friend wanted to go back and pay
him later, but told him If he did /
would never speak to him again. Oh.
it was just lovely" said the little
vixen, as she showed her white teeth

olate caramel and beamed in vicious
glee over the memoryof one poorman's

A GIrl,s ideal.

A girl never marries her ideal. One
reason is that she seldom finds him,
anG when she does she doesn't like
him. Another reason is, the material
man is so dreadfully unlike the one Of
her imagination. A girl is an incon-
eistent creature, anyway. AS sure as
she fashions the idol of her minds eye
as great, fierce, black-mustached,
brigandish-looking individual, the end
will be promise to love and obey
some meek, freclled, red-haired per-
son who cannot forget his affection for
chocc.&se caramels and football scrim-
images. Most dreadful is the fate of
the little woman who admires the jolly
man who can laugh at paperweight
biscuits and boiled beefsteak, for she
invariably falls head over heels in love
with some solemn, stately man whose
very photograph makes her dumb with
silent awe.

A Dog story from Japan.

An English sportsman, out for few
days shooting in the interior of Japan,
amused the natives upon the evening of
his arrival at the house where he was
to put up by putting his well-trained
cocker spaniel through series Of clev-
er tricks. The Jap name for dog is
Come here" probably because that
is just what the native ours won't
do when SO hidden. Japanese dogs
are q degenerate race, unfit for
the purposes for which other dogs
are used, and uncontrolled by
their masters. Their home is in the
streets and fields. The Japanese,
therefore, look with wonder upon the
docile canine companions foreigners
bring to their country. The perform
ance of the Englishman's dog amazed
the unsophisticated Japs. This was
shown when the guest went to his
room to retire for the night, There
was his bed duly made on the floor
the Japanese fashion, with the wood
en-box pillow at the head. But beside
it twas another, though very diminutive,
couch. The Englishman couldn't make
out what the second little bed meant.
He called the host. The latter ex-
planned matters at once. The second
bed was for the "wise little foreign
"come here"

some of the Popular Airs Which We
Have Sung and Tired or.

Have Sung and Tired or.
A western paper has compiled a sort
of history of the catchy popular airs
which have been sung during our time
or when our parents were young. The
list is interesting.
A few weeks ago, says the writer,
the favorites in the way of songs were
"Ta-Ra-Ra -Boom-De-A,n Comrades"
and ''The Bogey Man" 1t is curious
fact IN connection with "Ta-Ra-Ra-
Boom-De-A" that some months ago
the writer sailed away from Liver
pool, England, and the last thing he
heard was that song, and on reaching
New York harbor the first thing to
greet him as welcome to his own
country was the same song, sung by a
coal HEAVIER on the dock. He might
have alluded here to the run Of "My
Sweetheart's the Man in the Moon
and "After the Ball"
Prior to the advent of the before
mentioned songs, he continues, we had
long siege of sLittle Annie Rooney
and Maggie Murphys Home" Then
we had before these lengthy attack
of Down Went McGinty." and before
this number of Harrigan g. Hart's
theater comique songs, such as "Mulli-
gan Guards" Mai Gilfeather' and
others similar in style. Then preced-
ing this era we had ''Peek-a-Boo" and
'La-di-Dah." Before this *Whoa, En-
ma!'' Champagne Charlie" "Capt.
Jinks," "Shoo Ely" and ''Not for Joe,
pretty well mixed up with sentimental
songs of the 'Put Me in My Little
Bed" and "Silver Threads Among the
Gold" "Norah O'Neil, "Lillie Dale"
and "Come Where My Love Lies Dream
ing" type.
During the war of the rebellion how
well the writer remembers the songs
he heard, being then boy. He saw
the soldiers marching by the house
where he lived, and listened with
bated breath to the songs they sung, of
TRAMP, Tramp, the Boys Are March
ing" "Rally Round the Flag" John
Browns Body'' and Marching Thro'
Georgia" and then the different style
of songs sung by the women folk at
home, such as Brave Boys Are They"
@"The Vacant Chair" Mother, Dear,
Your Boy Is Wounded" or "Tenting
Tonight" or "When This Cruel War Is
Over" or the more humorous ones of
THE Captain With His Whiskers Took
Sly Glance at Me" or "The Bold Sol
dier Boy"
The songs before that period were
different from any since. The names
of some of these were, Roll on Silver
Moon," s'Ben Bolt" ''The Old 0aken
Bucket" "The Indian Boys Lament" I"
''The Irish Emigrant's Lament" and
"Hard Times Come Again No More. :"
These must have been rather doleful
times. There was another song quite
popular at that time, called "Cruel
Barbara Allen, " so the writer has been
told. But this is about the extent of
his knowledge on the song question.

A woman sold pig to butcher the

some butchers that to cut off pigs
tail insures the preservation Of the
meat. The pigs little tail was cut off.
But the woman was on the watch. She
picked up the tail and gave it to the
butcher to be weighed, saying: 81 want

New York employs 4,651 schooltea CHI

there are 3,053 women.
CT this number 100 fill principalships;

2,673 are assistants. Some of them

school, but they all earn the far from
large salaries paid by the wealthiest
city in the new world.
John Jasper, superintendent Of pub

quaintances, was asked by a New York
World reporter how the teachers OF
1893 compared with their sisters of

'In every particular.
"Are they better loolring?"
"They are better trained, better man
nered, better dressed and better look

Physically, Mr.. Jasper thought that
the young teacher was far superior to
her senior associate; that she was
abreast of the time; that physical cul-
ture had done as much for her as for
any other class Of progressive women;
that she knows something besides book
learning; that she is sympathetic,

The Contested Seats Liable to Precipitate .
Fight.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The fact that
the senators from the northwestern
states are not unanimous on the silver
question and that some of them will
probably vote to repeal the Sherman
silver purchasing law, seems to lend
added interest to the contests which
were pending when the senate adj
journed in extra session in April last on
the case of senators from Montana,
Wyoming and Washington. In all three
of these states the Legislatures got into
a prolonged deadlock and adjourned
without electing a senator to fill the
vacancies that were to occur on the 4th
of March. These three contested cases
will probably bring on a bitter and pro-
tracted preliminary fight before the
senate can settle down to the business
for which the extra session was con-
vened. The right of senator to his
seat is the question of the highest priv
ilege, and senators on the one side or
the other of the silver question are sure
to demand decision on these cases be-
fore any vote is taken on the Sherman
law. In addition to these potent prob
abilities of delay there are the Enacted
upon resolutions of investigation in the
case of Senator w. N. Roach, of North
Dakota, upon which hot partisan de-
bate is inevitable.
