Digging Up Ancient Alexandria.

There seems to be likelihood that
the treasures which are supposed to be
buried in and around ancient Alexan-
dria may be brought to- light before
long. A letter from Cairo, published
in the London Times, says: "a very
important symptom of the past season
has been the awakening of interest in
ancient Alexandria, and we shall prob
ably hear a great deal about the
Ptolemaic and Roman capital in the
future. It is the most unexplored site
in Egypt, and it is really astonishing
that we should know SO little Of what
was once the first city (and has always
been among the frst) on the Mediter-
ranean. The meeting place of SO many
races, bound up with Jewish and early
Christian history, an unrivaled center
OF culture, the burial place Of the
greatest Of ancient conquerors and Of
q long line Of his successors, the most
singular and favored city in the Roman
empire, Alexandria has Iimitless posi-
bilities. The ancient city lies deep
under the modern; but, now that the
municipality is favorable, the new
museum has been organized and per-
sons Of local influence are at work, we
may hope that an exploratio has been
begun which will prove OF extraorilir

California Has a Hound with q Good Nose
for TrainrObbers.
Tiger is the name of a remarkable
bloodhound that is owned in this city,
says the San Francisco Call. Tiger
has wonderful agility and seeming
powers, although he is but little over
a year old. Tiger played an important
part in the chase after Evans and Son
tag, and was employed by the south
ern Pacific detectives to trail the rob-
bers in the mountains of Tulare county.
Detective Will Smith secured several
large ferocious bloodhounds to scent
out the robbers lair, and among those
was Tiger, who so far "outscented"
his rivals that he was thereafter
looked upon as somewhat Of a phenom-
enon in his peculiar line of business.
On one occasion, when Burns or one
of-the railroad company's men was in
the neighborhood of the stone corral,
Tiger was in. advance, yelping like a
whipped cur and flying along at
great rate, with his nose close to the
ground. He had never manifested such
an excited disposition before. The de-
tective followed the dog for fully thirty
minutes, keeping his horse at a gallop
all the while. Suddenly the hound ran
up to a haystack and lay closely along
side of it, his nose pointed straight to-
ward column of bushes.
Crack! Whiz! A bullet sped from
the spot indicated by Tigers proboscis
and whistled close to the officers ear.
The latter raised his pistol and fred in
the direction of the shot, but as Tiger
was in the line of aim he received the
bullet intended for the robber. It was
painful but not a serious wound.
The dog never whined nor whimpered,
but laid his head on the ground and
calmly waited until his master ordered
him to rise. This wound was only a
flesh wound and soon healed.
Tiger was then taken to Fresno and
tenderly cared for. The detectives and
marshals used to say: 'sHe's one of us.
Well have to take good care of him. :"
The railroad company offered big
price for Tiger, but his owner is about
to go east and he says he would not
part with the dog detective at any
price.

BETTER THAN 8 BANK.

a Mexican Don.s silver Mine, which II
Taps Whenever He Needs Cash.
A resident Of Mexico recently related
the following story to q writer for the
Kansas City Journal:
"a Mexican grandee, whose name is
Don Alcazar de Chilcolorow, owns q
famous mine of inexhaustible riches in
the state of Chihuahua. It contains
high grade silver ore, and is SO rich
that whenever the don or his sonora
run short of money they simply direct
the head peon to gather together his
delegation of twelve or thirteen serfs
and their equally patient and uncom-
planning fellow serfs, the burros: Then
the don mounts the head burro and tho
procession takes the trail for the FAM
ily mine, as it is called. The mine has
been in the possession of the don and
his ancestors for the past four CEN
turtles. 1t is nothing but rude tunnel
in the mountain side. The entrance to
the tunnel is securely barricaded with
heavy timber doors, which are securely
locked with three old Spanish locks,
the keys to which are always in the
possession of the don. When the mine
is reached the don unlocks the doors.
He then directs his body servant to
swing his hammock beneath the
branches of a massive tree standing
at the entrance to the mine, which was
a we'll grown sapling when the first
don of the family discovered the mine
four hundred years ago. $50 q
1.-The poems are then set to work
getting out the rich silver ore, which
they put into baskets slung upon the
backs of the burros. 1t is but the work
of five or six hours to get out ore that
will be worth several thousands of dol
lars. The ore is free milling ore and
it is no trouble to work it. While the
ore is being taken out of the mine and
put into the baskets the don is lying in
his hammock leisurely smoking Gig
arettes. When the baskets are full the
don manages to pull himself together
long enough to lock up the mine and
seal the entrances and the cavalcade
then starts back and goes straight to
Chihuahua, twelve miles away. AS
soorl as they arrive there the don sells
the contents Of the baskets, for which
he receives from twelve Thousand to
eighteen thousand dollars in cash in
Mexican money. He gives his poems q
liberal tip besides their meager wagesi
which they divide, like the conscien-
tious poems they are, between the
church and the pulque merchants and
reserve small modicum to keep them
selves and their families partly clothed
and fed until the don holds his next
grand rally, which occurs four or five
times a year. The don owns a mag
nificent hacienda, has lovely wife and
two beautiful daughters, who have all
the pride of the true Castilians. the
hacienda contains over six thousand
acres and is one of the principal high
ways leading out of chihuahua, upon
which, like most of the land own
rsof the'country, he pays little taxes"

A FLOATING EMBANKMENT.
How Engineers In India Overcome an OF

How Engineers In India Overcome an OBJ
stacle In Railroad Building.
On the Calcutta and Southeastern
railroad of India an unusual construc-
tiQn has been successfully resorted to to
caAry the double-tracked railway lines
over very soft, wet ground, which was
too unstable to support ordinary filing,
says the Indian Engineer. At the
point where the railway crosses the
Pilallee the river flows in an artificial
channel. It formerly made bend at
this point, which carried the stream
about four hundred feet to the west of
it's present course, and it thus became
necessary to carry the embank1nent
which forms the western approach of
the bridge across the old channel, the
bottom of which was sixty feet below
high-water mark and eighty-three feet
below the level of the line. Accord
ingly the new cut having been exca-
waited, and the lower end of the old
bed bundled with sand bags to facili-
tate sitting, the embankment was COM
menced by throwing in earth from the
western bank.
The soil Of the locality, like that of
the Sunderbunds generally, however,
is soft loan, highly absorptive Of
water, so that the earth thrown in
speedily formed semi-fuid slush,
which flowed out on both sides, filling
up the old channel, and then flowing
out at one or both ends into the river.
No efforts could succeed in raising the
embankment above the level of high
water, and quantity of bamboos
which were laid down with view to
impede the lateral motion of the earth,
after settling together with the en-
bankment, reappeared after few
weeks some two hundred feet off on
the line of outflow. At length the en-
gineers, finding that there was no hope
of the earth attaining sufficient solidity
to bear the weight of the emban kment
as hitherto attempted, adopted the ex-
pedient of constructing a great float
on the same elementary principle, al
though differently applied in construc-
ton, as that adopted with so much
Success by George Stephenson at the
Chat Moss.

An Old Yankee Who Sticks to the Sulphur

The New York Mail and Express
rambler has an old friend in Boston OF
the name of Jeremiah Mason, who has
fund of quaint philosophy concerning
the habits of sheep and men. He
and is an authority on wool growing
and on the weather signs indicat ting
when it is proper to make changes in
clothing and to ''physic the system"
II am seventy-two years of age: he
used to say. "hale and hearty, and
could drive a stagecoach to-day as well
as did fifty years ago if there was only
one Of 'em to drive. Why am healthy?
Sho! Every spring take sulphur and
molasses for three days lay most O
my health to that. Never drank any
kind of liquor except now and again q
little hard cider, and cider, let me tell
you, is a great thing for the stomach.
Besides, I never took Off my winter
clothes until after the sheep Storm
and then never was much of a one to
worry. That's what eats man up
worry. If he wants lot and can't get
it and he goes out into the cold with
his pores all open he's just likely to
catch cold and die, but if he will just
trust to the good Lord, eat breakfast at
daylight, put in a good, honest days
work and go to bed at ten o'clock with
an easy conscience, he'll live out the
full span.
''I'm no believer in these new-fangled
ideas about microbes and the like. I've
never seen any Of 'em. Why, the way
doctors talk you'd think we couldn't
eat anything that's safe. Microbes in
milk to give you consumption; nil
crobes in water to give you fever;
microbes in pork to give you a disease
called trickey something or other; mil
crobes in the air to give you smallpox.
Well, want to know! What in the
name of common sense and Gen.
Jackson are we to eat, anyway? I
reckon my plan is the best. My chill
