He BulIt ono of tho Pvramids.

The British museum, the great Euro
pean storehouse Of things ont of the or
dinary, has hundreds Of Egyptian num-
mics of all dynasties carefully slowed
away within its walls. Some Of these
are comparatively recent efforts at en-
balming, and others date back to the
"wide revolving shades of centuries
past" The Oldest Of the entire collec-
ton is the mummy Of Mykerinos. He
was O king in Egypt in what is known to
history as the Fourth dynasty" and
wore his golden tiara and sat on the
throne Of thrones 1000 years before the
wise men followed the star Of fate till it
stopped over that lowly hovel in Bethle-
hem where the infant Jesus lay.
Mykerinos was the builder Of the third
pyramid at Ghizeh, where his headless
mummy was discovered in the year 1896.
The stone coffin in which he was being
transported to England was lost at sea
and lay ut the bottom of the ocean foI
two years before being recovered. It is
seldom that a mans bones are subjected
to vicissitudes, especially 5000 or 6,0OC
years after his death.-St. Louis Repub-

Letter OF n Suicide.

An octogenarian general left a letter
lately defending the propriety Of his sui
eide. Said he:
When an individual life has run its
cycle and become a waste Of nature in
the body, overwhelming its mental and
physical qualities with weakness and
pain to an intolerable degree, it may
with all propriety be removed.
Such being the case with the life Of
the writer, his apology TO the world is by
these terms made through his most be-
loved and most intimate friends, who, he
trusts, viii appreciate the relief to him
from ceaseless distress, which, in his opin-
ion, ought TO be brought by the phyician
who is summoned with his drugs, surely
for that purpose. but not for cure

life OF AN italian sianniman.

A signalman in Italy has a remarkably
easy time of it in comparison with his
British brethren. This is Of course part
ly due to the greater leisureliness Of rail-
way traffic in the peninsula, but is partly
also the outcome Of the conditions under
which he is required or permitted to ply
his calling. He is always married-if
he were a bachelor he would not be en-
ployed-and his little cabin beside the
railway is also his home. He is free
during the daytime. at least, to engage
in any other occupation he may desire.
When a train passes his wife puts on his
hat-an official covering goes out
to give the necessary signal with the
flag. The wages amount to about a
franc and u half a day.-London Tit-Bits.
