Tools of the Pyramid Builders.

A,two.years' study at Gizch has
convinced Mr.. Flinders Petric that
the Egyptian stone. workers Of 1000
years ago had surprising acquaint-
ance with what have been considered
modern tools. Among the MANI tools
used by the pyramid builders were
both solid and tubular drills and
straight and circular saws. The
drills. like those of to-day, were, says
AN exchange, set with jewels (prob-
ably corundum, as the diamond was
very scarce), and even lathe tools had
such cutting edges. So remarkable
was the quality Of the tubular drills
and the skill of the workmen, that
the cutting marks in hard granite
give no indication of wear Of the tool,
while cut of tenth of an inch was
made in the hardest rock au each
revolution, and hole through both
the hardest and softest material was
bored perfectly smooth and uniform

HOLLANDS LITTLE QUEEN.

IL any little American maid who ia
a queen by right diviue and ha, had
her will and way ever since she could
hold II rattle box, even if she doesn't
know it, thinks it would bc II fine
thing to be II real queen with crown
Of gold and Jewels aud TO wear her
Sunday things every day, j; will bc
well for her TO read something of what
is expected of Queen WilhcImina of
Holland. In the first place she has II,
many corner stones to lay, ships To
christcn aud great bazaars to open ~
docs that overworkcd nan, the Prince
of Wales.
Then there arc lessons to learn from
masters and mistrcsscs galore. Iu-
deed, ut II great court festivily tho
child q icen was heard cousoling ono
of her cousins who was complaining
of lessons. saying: al, too, must
learn such a stupidity stupid lot.''
Already she speaks equally well Dutch.
French, English and German, and
masters come every day to teach her
other branches. She is fond of music,
aud shows considerable promise of
talent, inhcriting this taste from her
father, who once composed an opera.
There is but an half-hour's respite
from the lessons in the morning. and
in the afternoon there is always tho
cooking and sewing, for every Dutch
maiden must be II good llau,vrow. A
relinuc of so dolls the litlle girl has
of all sorts and conditions, but an
addition 10 her numerous family gives
her greater pleasure than anything
else.
The German Emperor sent ner at
Christmas II whole regiment of lead
soldiers in most respleudent uniform.
Some day the baby Louise will teach
her father what waste of money 1t il
to send soldiers TO girl. When these
dolls are very, very bad, after tho
manner of dollcs the world over,
their royal mother Furnishes them by
making them bow, and bow, and bow
to an imaginary public, which the
Queen thinks is the most disngrceable
thing one can have to do. This doll
family lives in chalet in the garden,
and here the Queen brings all tie
friends who come to visit her. They
play at housekeeping, just as all little
girls do, and the Queen always insists
on being the servant. 1t was the
Princess Victoria, who. when n child,
went to visit dear old lady that al
lowed her TO do just rs she pleased,
and she always pleased TO have pail
of suis and wash the windows.
Wilhelmina of Holland doesn't begin
to have the pretty things to wear that
the little girls here enjoy, even those
whose fathers are not wealthy and
whose mothers make the frocks them
selves, for the Dutch idea of dress is
deporably inartistic. She often wears
the peasant dress of the different prov
inces when she travels through them,
and when her old nurse comes TO visit
her she finds, not Queen child, but n
little peasant maid dressed just like
herself. Sometimes the quaint caps
are very heavy and hot, but the little
girl wears them until her head aches.
