saw A LIVING MUMMY. &
a Woman SO Old That Her Muscles
Hung Like shreds on Sticks.

Hung Like Shreds on Sticks.
In the Cornhill Magazine a writer
thus records a visit to an Egyptian
domicile situated upon the Nile:
ave went into the hut after some
hesitation (the dragoman whispered
there were ladies there) and found q
vigorous old man telling his Mus
SULLIVAN beads cross-legged on a mud
bench, aud on the floor bent over the
fire the oldest 10 oking human being
l ever saw alive. Mummies l have
seen, and wondered not that they
were dead, but in what part of her
withered, desiccated frame that old
woman found space to keep the stern
vital energies that lined her grim,
carved face l can scarcely guess.
She looked no more living than sea
weed does dried and stretched on
paper.
Her arms, her legs (tkrust almost
into the fire. were so shrunken that
the long leathern flesh and faced
muscles hung round them like dang
ling shreds on sticks. Round her
neck were beads of wood and round
her wrist leathern bracelets Though
to be sure, cannot fell certain they
were not folds of skim, and on her
face lurked not only lines, but gull
lies and passages, they seemed so
deep and fallen. But for the occa-
sional upturned glance of her cold,
unquestioning eye could not have
supposed her anything else than one
of the earliest and best-preserved of
the remotest queens of Egypt.
1.-The old man gave us lusty well
come, and sent for milk and dates
and filled our pockets. He showed
us his long spear that hung against
the wall, and told me with proud
gesture that he had often killed his
man, but more often with a sword,
and, taking me by the shoulder,
showed me fiercely how he used to
do it. He was 80 years old and had
never been farther from home than
Assouan, and then only once. All
his sons sat and stood around US,
and in the background against the
mud granary white teeth glimmered
and the broad black faces of the
women shone. / asked him what
present he would like, and he asked
for little rice and a little coffee.
All the time he clutched and fingered
his Moslem rosary, which, when l
admired it, he wanted me to accept.
The son came back with us to the
dahbeah and carried Off the coffee
and rice in envelopes, to which l
added a handful of cigarettes and a
couple of oranges, with particular
injunctions that ono was to be given
TO the old gentleman.

Eating An Orany.

Those who take an orange every
morning may like to try the manner
OF eating them that prevails in the
land of oranges. Take thin-skinned.
heavy orange, thrust a fork through
1t from the stem end, and with a
sharp knife cut the rind away. be-
ginning at the fork and cutting
downward. Place the orange on ice
for half an hour and bring it to the
table with the fork still in it. II
oranges are good they can be eaten
from the pulp with perfect ease and
with much more satisfaction than
will be experienced in any other way.

Republican mass meeting was held

THE usual treatment of catarrh i

THE usual treatment of catarrh is
very unsatisfactory, as thousands can
testify. Proper local treatment is
positively necessary to success, but
many, if not most, of the remedies in
general use afford but temporary ben
eft. A cure certainly can not be ex-
pectcd from snuffs, powders, douches
and washes. Ely's Cream Balm, which
is so highly commended, is a remedy
which combines the important requi-
sites of quick action, specific curative
power with perfect safety and pleas
antness to the patient.
