VI. de Morgan, Director General Of
the French service OF Egyptian an
tiuuitieS, has recently made some sur
prising discoveries. Two years or
more ago he started to explore the
pyramids of Dashur, which are about
twenty. I've miles from Cairo. There
are six pyramids in this group. Some
of them are Of stone and some OF
brick. The latter have long since
crumbled into shapeless masses.

and honeycombed the shapeless

wrote. ''By plunging spears into

taking from them the mud that vas
thus attached. the bricks were made
of which 1 am constructed" And
now. by %pluEging picks and shovels
into the earth, some Of the long

he discovered.
At last. after many diSappoint-
ments, in the principal gallery which
had been opened, the explorer found
evidences OF an undiSturbed pit.
Then came tue problem of admitting
pure air into the crypt in which no
foot had trUdden for scores of CEN
turtles. Then, too, followed The find
ing OF a secret door, and a stately
chamber with its eighteen sarcophagi,
the abode of princesSes: and then the
treasure, which had evidently been
hastily buried in the ground.
What strange Jewels were there.
Brcastplatcs OF massive god: jeweled
signets; earrings and bracelets of
pearls and emcraldS: a beautiful mir

shape OF hearts and lotus blossoms
all OF which had miniStcrcd to hu-
man pride and had adorned. ages ago,

they were arrayed in their glory.
The treasure vas by far the largest
ever discovered in any pyramid. The
workmanship Of the articles found,

centuries, IS declared to be most en-
q~uisite, and the designs SO beautiful
and new that they will have IA

Maspero, the greatest Egyptian au-

private apartments of the soul, where
no living being could enter without

hopes, desires and deeds are buried.
In it are hidden, as with the old
Egyvtiars, the things that we have

The I.ooks Were shelved.

Here is funny little story which is
told of a would he literary young man
whose face is familiar around the various
newspaper Offices and who aspires to be
witty. Some time ago in course of con
versation with prominent magazine
writer the subject of authors and their
works was being discussed. The young
man, after the manner of all would be lit.
erary young men, was criticising the va.
rious writer's and among Others Ouida,
whose works re declared were being laid
on the shelf. The journalist, punning
upon the well known auburn hue of Oui
das hair said, We'll, # her books are
not read, her hair is. "
This struck the would be literary young
man MS a most happy pun, and he resolved
to appropriate it to himself mt the first op
portunity. A few evenings later while
out in company he joyfully turned the
conversation onto the same subject, and
when the proper time arrived sprung the
pun In this manner WELL she's got rcd
hair if her books haven't"
He is still wondering why no one ap-
plauded the brilliant bonmot.-St. Louis

A Dissecting Room Triumph.

Every one knows that the nerves in the
human body are almost without number,
threading every part of the system. The
difficulty of dissecting to preserve these
nerves can thus be imagined. In glass
case in the museum of Hahnemann college
is shown the entire human ce-ebro- spinal
nervous system, every nerve arranged in
its proper order and all intact This re-
markabe piece of dissection is the work of
DR.. h. b. Weaver, one of the college pro
fessOrs. 1t took him six months, working
eight hours a day, to accomplish the work
He received in recognition an official rib
bon from the Worlds fair, where the work
was exhibited. Every nerve emanating
from the brain and spine has been pre-
served and the subject looks like fshnet
in the case. Some of the nerves are quite
thick and Others as fragile, seemingly, as
a spider web.-Phladelphia Record.

Much complaint has been made of late
concerning the outrageous conduct Of
male, and especially of female, abstaincrs
from tobacco, who fUrco their way into
railway smoking carriages, and, in spite of
the protests of the other occupants, persist
emily abstain from smoking during the
longest railway journey. 1t may DC asked
why the smoker does not quietly continue
to smoke, regardless Of the presence Of the
abstaincr. OF course this is practicable,
but what decent and humane man can
take any pleasure in smoking when there
is seated opposite to him middle aged
woman, who is perhaps the mother of
young and helpless children, but who
shamelessly and sniilingly proclaims her
vicious hatred of tobacco in every look and
movement?
The presence of the abstainer must nee
essarily cast "a gloom over any railway
compartment, and the smoker, filled with
disgust and pity, loses all interest in his
pipe. What is the most painful feature of
the whole matter is that the abstaners
have actually formed societies for the forci-
BILE suppression of smoking, and not con
tent with their own degradation, are striv-
ing to degrade all other men and women
to their level. The remedy is, however,
plain. If the abstainers have a right to
crush smokers by law, smokers have
similar right to crush abstainers.- l..

A VE6MlN PROOF oRANARY.
For Ten Years 1t Has Protected Its Con-

For Ten Years 1t Has Protected Its Con-
tents From Rats and Mice.
The losses by rats and mice, and in
the south by the grain moths, IRE suffi-
cient to pay a good interest on the cost
of perfectly vermin proof grainhouse
or corncrib. A correspondent of Country
Gentleman says: The last year my loss
of corn in the crib amounted to moro
than the cost of wire gauze lining
which put OH last fall, and on Smelling
out my corn the other day there was
not trace of mice, not even the smell
of them in the grain. The corn was
saved, and, what is more, l sold the
greater part of it to "a miller at cents
bushel over the common price, on ac-
count of its freedom from this mousy
smell. Besides l myself can now eat
corn cake with comfort, luxury have
avoided for years on account of the
mousy and ratty flavor of it, which cook
ing is unable to expel. This extra price
of the grain is a supplementary divi-
dend on the profitable investment in a
few rolls of wire gauze
Some years ago I built granary with
a Toulouse under it. 1t was built on
posts closed in on the sides for tool
and wagon house. There were two rows
of bins in the granary arranged as
shown in the drawing
The arrangement was so made that
the cat, kept and fed in the building,
could go all around and under the bins

Feeding Poultry.

| One who pays any attention to the
matter will soon learn about how much
the flock will eat and not be hungry.
f'his may be told by paying some atten-
ton to the condition of the fowls as to
flesh They should not feel fat when
picked up, but should be nicely plump
and round, and if they begin to fail in
flesh or fall off, as the case may be, the
amount of food given them should be
regulated accordingly. Feeding on the
free and easy plan is poor economy, and
will i'll the end ruin the laying qualities
of any flock, for it will induce disease,
and the very first symptom If disease in
any flock is the decrease of e.;g produc-
ton, that always comes with the lower
ing of health of laying hens Feed
plenty, but not too much. This is mat
ter that is very largely neglected by
farmers and all who do not pay particu-
! N attention to their poultry. Farm

DECEPTIVE APPEARANCES.
To Look at He Was Not Much of Law-
Yer, but Then

yer, but Then
Said gentleman who is well acquainted
in the mountain countries: Il noticed in

gon county who came here to appear be-
fore Judge Fee in chambers He wore n
felt hat, with no less than five inches Of
hrim His ncckgear was by no means such
Us would be furnished by city outhtter
His coat was a misorably poor fit, and, as
for pantaloons, they were decidedly pic
turcsquo. The bag in these pants hung
out conspicuously four or five inches be-
low the knee and the dust of the street
was swept by the lower edges trailing
along behind him. The mustaches worn
by this attorney were and of course are
yet such as to lend II particularly fierce
appearance to an otherwise unique figure
AS the lawyer passed along the streets to-
ward the courthouse some one inquired
who the person was and was informed he
was disciple of blackstone. l thought
there was an amused expression on the
inquirer's face.
Now / wish he could have gone with
me to the lawyers house in one of the
mountain towns. He would have been
greeted by the lady of the house in the
most cultured manner. Entertainment
would have given evidence of the presence
of refinement. A library would have been
at the visitors disposal composed of some
of the rarCst volumes eXtant. And these
volumes would be found to be as familiar
to my friend, the attorney us Mother
Goose's melodies to the average person. In
the mind of this attorney could be found
wonderful store of valuable information;
facts digcsted, and with the meaning and
bearing on men and events extracted
therefrOm--in short, one of the most re
markable minds | have ever met. And
then l would enjoy watching the face of
the inquiring man rs that attorney went
before jury and poured out matchless

orally, trained in West Point Military
academy and for years "A captain in the
