] heard a rather amusing story in
which Lord Houghton, the viceroy of
ireland and the Duchess of Manchester
played a part, says writer in the
Philadelphia Press:
They met the other day on the steam
er running from Kingston TO Holyhead.
Houghton imagined, no doubt, that he
was still among the gloomy magnit-
cence of his vice-regal court, most gra-
ciously beckoned to the duchess to take
a seat, and was even affable enough TO
indicate the right chair adjacent to
him, where he was pleased to permit
her 10 sit by a vi"e-regal pat with two
fingers. The duchess was little taken
back by the coudescending manner of
the young yiceroy, whom she had
known from babyhood. She, however,
complied with the signal, and during
the voyage across eXerted herself 10 be
pleasant But the moment she set her
foot on Holyhead she considered her
duty fulfilled, for his eXcellency the

MYSTERY OF THE PYRAMIDS.
Many Theories Regarding the Object of
j, the Vast Egyptian Structures.

many theories Regarding the Object of
r. the Vast Egyptian Structures.
Why the pyramids were built has
always proved TO be perplexing
question. For some reason the build
ers of the pyramids of Egypt appear
TO have concealed the object of these
structures, and this so successfully
that not even tradition has reached
MS which purports TO have been
handed down from the date of their
construction. Including ancient and
modern theories we find wide range
Of choice. Some have thought that
these buildings were associated with
the religion of the early Egyptians;
others have suggested that they were
tombs; others that they combined the
purpose of tombs and temples, that
they were asst economical obseryatories,
defenses against the sands of the
great desert, granaries like those
made under Joseph's direction, or
places of resort during excessive over
/ flows of the Nile, while Aristotle saws
that the work was set on foot to keep
the common people well employed and
busy in earning their daily bread so
that they should have no leisure for
conspiring against their rulers. Ac-
cording to the late Professor Proctor,
none of these ideas is found on close
examination TO be tenable as repre-
senting the sole purpose of the pyra-
mids, and he suggested that they must
have been intended TO serve some use
full purpose during the lifetime of the
builder, and that they were built by
each different king in order that as
Economical observations might be con-
tinued throughout his life, to de-
termine his future, to ascertain what
epochs were dangerous or propitious
for him and TO note such unusual phe-
nomena among the celestial bodies as
seemed to bode him good or evil for
tune. Astrology is in fact the key
note of his theory, which is, perhaps,
on the whole, the most satisfactory
that has been evolved. 1t has been
stated by experts that the great pyra-
mid could not now be built at a less
cost than sl45, 200, 900.

Cut OF His TAN.

At Madras, some time ago, valua-
BILE lion, having incautiously allowed
his tail TO stray into an adjoining cage,
the tail was siezed by an evil-disposed
leopard, close to the lions body, when,
as the lion attempted to escape, almost
the whole of the skin of his tail was
stripped off. This was followed by
such an amount of Inflammation that
the lions life was in danger. Surgeon
Major Miller, brother of the late Prof.
Miller of Edinburg. the surgeon TO the
governor of Madras, volunteered to
perform amputation. The lion was
seized in his cage and his head covered
with a cap containing considerable
quantity of chloroform. He was then
dragged to the edge of the cage and the
tail passed through the bars, where
DIR. Miller cleverly performed his oper-
alton. The animal made a good re-
covery.

Interest at tho Government Ordinance Shopa
Over the New Method Of Assembling.
The force at the Washington ordnance
shops has nearly completed the asseM-
bling Of tho first nickel Hteel gun for the
navy, and tho result is awaited with in
terest. The ordnance officers have been
engaged some time in the construction
Of a furnace for heating the tube Of
this gun. which is Of 8inch caliber.
The furnace will apply the heat to the
gun in horizontal instead OF In o per
pendicular position. The jacket, the
piece Of metal which fits over the base
Of the tube and gives It greater strength,
will be forced over the tube while the
latter is kept beyond the expanding In
fiuences Of the heat by the constant ap-
plication of stream Of water.
The delay in assembling the gun, tho
forgings Of which have bean ready for
some time, has been caused by the dif-
ficulty In securing pyrometer, deli
cate instrument for registering the fear
full heat Of the furnace. This instru-
ment has been received, and everything
is ready for the assembling of the gun.
There Is naturally much interest among
ordnance experts over the result Of the
new system Of putting great guua To,
gether, for, IL the proposed method ID q
success. It will take the place Of the old
way, which required q good deal Of
shifting Of heavy weights and the uss

There Is also much interest in the
trial Of the nickel steel gun. It Is ex.
pected that 1t will prove stronger and Of
longer life than the simple steel gun.-

The hotel hermits are more widely

their seclusion. There are men in the
big hotels, says the New York Sun, who
boast Of not having wandered more
than two or three blocks from the
building in years. Other hotel hermits
goto their Offices every morning, re-
turn at certain time in the after
noon, and then remain steadfastly in
doors until the following day. They
are intimately acquainted with all
the goings on in the big hostelry
which serves them as home, and
have an active interest in its various
departments. The hermits of the Of
fee buildings sometimes sleep in them,
but as rule they have lodgings some
where in the lower part Of the town,
where they put in eight or ten hours
out OF the twenty-four. But at all
other hours they are to be found in the
