The British museum, the great Euro
pean storehouse Of things out Of the or
dinary, has hundreds Of Egyptian mum
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 eollec-
ton is the mummy Of Mykerinos. He
was 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 TIL 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.

transported TO England was lost at sea

Dnnecr IN stemmInr FIowers.

Bad effects at times attend the stem
ming Of flowers; that is, the addition of
wisps TO short cuttings to make needed
lengths in constructing bouquets or
large forms of decoration. In this work,
thin, threadlike wire is used for binding
the lengths together. This wire is in
pieces about six inches long and nearly
as sharp as needles. In fast work the
points are likely TO run under the finger
nails or enter the muscles Of the hands.
AS they are more or less rusty, an acci-
dent with them calls at once for the To-
tion bottle and wrapping rags, or per-
haps poultice or salt pork applications

Dodge City with big opera bouffe
troop lt was years ago, when Dodge
City was &C the very verge OF civihza-
uon-Just hanging On % the edge, as it
were. There was no regular show
house, and no decent hotel. There was
plenty Of money, though, and that
brought Jack and his company. The
town was full Of cowboys and roughs.
and they all determined to see the show
andincidentally have some sport with the
management
"Mr. Jack learned this and realized the
necessity Of impressing the natives with
a due sense Of his awfulness as a fighter
before the show began. At that time
one Peter Mccarthy was the deputy
sheriff of Dodge City, and was a reason
ably efficient officer. For this reason it
was that he felt in duty bound TO warn
Mr.. Jack Of the awful possibilities of
exhibiting himself ON the streets of

sheriff affected 20 despise tenderfeet.
but because Of this feeling of official
responsibility r. which sentiment was
doubtless more thoroughly aroused at
the Thought of possible free seat at
the show-he started in 70 give Jack
timely warning. and began his remarks
as follows.

Necessary Education.

While it would be pleasant to have our
schools cultivate the literary element IN
English composition, this is not the first
end to be rought. All educated men
cannot hope 20 be poets or essayists. but
no one has a right to consider himself
educated till he is able to say in writing
what he would say TO his correspondent
aloud If they were standing face TO face
Slovenliness of expression not only is
usually traceable to slovenliness Of
thought as cause, but the habitual neg
lect of expression has also a tendency to
increase by reflex action the habit Of
loose or muddy thinking. A person who
lacks the power Of clear thought and ex-
preston is not person to whose keeping
it is safe to confde public interests, and
in our country, where every citizen Is
liable to be called upon TO bear some Of
the burdens Of state. it is especially neces-
sary that the study of written as well as
spoken English be given the place 20
which it's importance plainly entities il

Two shapes were walking on the strand
one starlit night in no mans land; -
Two shapes that during earthly life
Gave hate for hate IN deadly strife.
They met. Swift forth their falchions ilew;
Zach pinned the other through and through
Yet neither fell. Again they strove
For mastery, and madiy drove
To right and left their falchions bright,
Nor sound nor cry profaned the night.
Through corselet, casque and visor, too.
As through the air their swift blades Gew;
Until amazed. they stood aghast.
And ON the sands their weapons cast.
Then laughed they both at mortal strife,
The passing dream Of earthly life.
And clasping each the others hand.
They walk the shades Of no mans land.
