minutes Of jerking and dangling, I found
myself standing in narrow passage by the

were in the tomb chamber,

place ever entered. 1t was simply sitting.
This tomb chamber is a square room cut in
the rock and totally devoid of paintings or
sculpture. l held up the candles and
looked around. About the place were
strewn the coffin lids and the mummied
remains VI sthe two bodies that the Arabs
had previously violated The paintings on
the former were, noticed, of great beauty,

glyphics, could not decipher them. Beads
and spicy wrappings lay around the re-

looked at it. 1t had been closely shaved
after death, should say, from the general
indicatons-and the features were dis
figured with gold leaf. But, notwithstand-
ing this, and the shrinkage Of the flesh,
think the face was one of the most impos-

Ali had brought a malet and cold chisel

began upon it with all the z1Al of an expert

out another thing. Most mummy cases are
fastened by four little tongues Of wood, two

half, and passing into mortiscs cut to re-
ceve them in the thickness of the lower
half, are there held fast by pegs Of hard
wood. But this mummy case had eight
such tongues. Evidently it had been

MODERN DRAMATIC CHANGES.
Unfavorable Comparison of the Characte,
of the Stage.

UuIAVOTaDle OOln DstrlSCn OF The Characters
of the Stage.
The other night a man went to the
theater who had not been there for years,
and he couldn't make it out. First of
all he missed the simple village youth,
the virtuous hero who was won't to take
the first prize at the Horticultural So
ciety, or else win the guerdon at quoits,
OF something Or other i'll the rustic revels.
But worst of all he missed the dear old
fashioned villain, and although this
play had a tremendous villain in it our
friend was not impressed with him a
bit. He signs thus:
81 came away again, sadly disap-
pointed. The play was not what l ex-
pected I shall so no more to the play
house. The palmy days of the drama
are over. The theater has fallen into
the sere and yellow fifth act, and there
is no health in it.
1.-THE theater has followed the path. of
literature, and the good old things are
changed. I beheld lot of swell people
in evening dress on the stage. They
spoke quietly to one another, very much
as people do off the stage. and in very
much the same sort of language.
"This is not what want when l go
to the theater
'What is the theatrical villain of to-
day? Is no real, good old fashioned
rufian? Does he ever drag a helpless
maiden from the domiciliary roof of her
ancestors by the hair? No, sir!
"Does he ever say to the hero, Say
one word, and thou art food for the
wolves?' Does he ever grab the heroine
by the wrist, drag her down the stage
in three long strides, slam her down in
a big chair, bend over her and whisper
fiendishly: ''Sdeath, maiden; but, by
my soul, love thee! Thou shalt be
mine! Yield, or by heaven'--
''That's all 1 know of that speech,
because by heaven, PIP is the cue for
the maiden to spring up, and, throwing
the 10 stone villain half way across
the stage, to say: 'Unhand me, ruffian!
And know that rather than mate with
such as thou I'd cast myself from yon-
der battlement into the foaming food
beneath!'
s'And does the villain then say: Now,
by heaven, like thy spirit! 1 love thee
all the more for It'll
'sAnd does the maiden say, 'Merciful
powers, protect me!
''And does the door open and the hero
rush in armed with good blunt broad
sword?
'And then do he and the villain fence
up and down the stage SKIES, Fights,
shoulder blows, cut and thrust?
"Oh, no!
''These things have given way to
swallowtailed coats and high collars,
and the villain is now as big swell as
any fellow in the show.

the drama when the broadsword ruled
and there was gore!

Uncle John Thorpe stood among his

much better they were than the money

and having streaks Of the town dirt

The boy went away with the great nod

the reflection that there are some things

It was week later when the door

boy, his face pnnaturally clean, came
in and once more found Uncle John at
home among his flowers.

The tabled seasnake, old leviathan,
Or else what grisly beast of scaly chine
That champed the oceanwrack and swashed

Before the pew and milder days of man
Had never fib nor bray nor swinging fan
Like this iron swimmer of the Clyde or Tyne,
Late born of golden seed to breed line
Of offspring swifter and more huge of PLAN
Straight is her going, for upon the sun
When once she hath looked, her path and place

With tireless speed she smiteth one by one
The shuddering seas and foams along the main,
And her eased breath when her wild race is

Roars through her nostrils like hurricane
