which for while threatened to be ono OF
the most extensive confiagrations that ha

fire was. however, confined to the fiame
building at the west end of the works. and
the old foundry, both of which buildings
have lately been fitted MP for the manu-
facture OF mateli ial known as pedryoid. The
fire was probably caused by spontaneous
combustion, indications showing that the
fire started in the second story, within
twelve feet of the building in which the fire
started is a three story brick building stored
full of wooden patterns that would bum
like tinder, but fol tunately the fire was
kept out, though the escape was a narrow
one, The total damage will amount to five
or six thousand dollars. but it is most un-
fortunate that the fire came as it did when
the firm had got fairly started with the
pedry old plant and were full of orders for

FOR EXTREME TARIFF.
Western Republicans Are Enthusiastic
Over Protection.

Washington, December 13.-A fact was
developed at the meeting today of the Re-
publican Congressional committee that
western men, particularly those from the
Mississippi country. are enthusiastically in
favor of extreme tariff. Discussion was
provoked by declaration of Delegate: Finn.
of Omaha, who remarked: ''The West is not
stuck on high tariff, although the Republi-
cans of that country are sturdy supporters
of the principles of protection tariff" TIE
discussion was general and mainly partici
pated in by Western representatives. Mr..
Barthroldt of Missouri.s said the Republicans
of his state admired Gov. Mckinley, and if
he should not be the standard bearer in the
next campaign it would be because in the
minds of the people he is looked upon as an
apostle Of extreme views on the tariff.
rBoutelle insisted that the Republicans
throue hout the country fought the recent
campaign on a ground endorsing the tariff
action of the Republican sparty. 1t was
patent,to everybody that the great victories
of 1894 were won upon that issue.
Senator Powers of Montana, asked Mr..
Boutelle what he knew about the West, and
If he made any speeches there during the
rec ent campaign.
r
Ohio.
Senator Powers retorted that Ohio is no
longer regarded as western state.
Senator Carey of Wyoming advised moder-
alton on the part Of Republicans on all
matters of legislation, owing to the an
settled condition of the public mind in that
part of the country regarding everything in
which New York and New England was in
Mr.. Wilson of Washington said that there
were other things to engage the attention
of the party in the West besides tariff. and
mentioned finance as one. He believed if
the Republican party controlled both Iegis-
latiye and executive branches of the gov
ernment it would solve this problem as it
solved every other serious question with
which it was confronted.
A resolution was adopted continuing the
headquarters at Washington until the 18th

AChapter of ynteres.ing Information About
Some Egyptian Customs.
When a member of al Egyptian fam
lily died, all the relatives put ON mourn
ing and abstained from baths, wine and
delicacies of all kinds from 40 to go
days, according to the rank of the per-
son deceased. Death in one respect put
IN end to all distinctions that had pre-
vailed in life, and king and slave were
subject to the same law.
The record of the life of the deceased
had to be examined by a tribunal of AZ
Judges before he could be given burial
with his ancestors. If the deeds of his
life proved that he was worthy Of
burial, his body was carried across the
sacred lake, of which each province had
one, and was there permitted to rest. If
the judges found him unworthy, even
though he belonged to the highest rank,
he could not be buried with his ances-
tors. The body was returned to his rela-
tives and was buried on the side Of the
lake opposite to the burial place of the
just.
The belief of the Egyptians in a fu-
ture state of existence gave rise to the
practice of embalming the dead. They
wished to carefully preserve the body,
so that the soul upon its return to its
former abode at the end of all things
might find it ready for its reception.
Bodies were embalmed in three differ
ent ways. The most expensive and mag
nifcent method was used upon the bod
les of kings and other persons of dis
tinguished rank, the cost amounting to
a talent Of silver, or x610.
A number of persons were employed
in the process of embalming, and they
were treated with great respect. They
filed the cavities Of the body with
myrrh, cinnamon, spices and many
kinds of sweet smelling drugs.
After a certain time had elapsed the
body was swathed in lawn fillets, which
were glued together with a kind of thin
gum, and then crusted over with costly
perfumes. BY this mode of embalming
the shape of the body, the lineaments
of the face, the eyebrows and eyelashes
were preserved in their natural perfec.
ton. Bodies thus embalmed are what
we now cali Egyptian mummies. Phil

Right Doing.

Right doing is a very simple thing,
but right doing is not always an easy
thing. A straight line is the shortest
line possible between any two given

living. but who of as can walk in that
