The oldest Herbarium.

The Oldest herbarium of the globe
forms an attractive part of the, Egyptian
museum at Cairo. 1t consists of a large
collection of wreaths and garlands discov-
cred in ancient Egyptian tombs. Without
exception they are well preserved, and,
indeed most of the flowers are perfectly
intact by man of some artificial coating.
Even their colors are almost as fresh as
when the plants were first plucked by the
mourner or embalmer. Watermelons found
in these graves dipped in water exhibited
their green pigment. Many of these speci-
mems of Egypt's ancient vegetation are
more than four thousand years old. Glow
err that grew on the tile pyramid of Dali
shur, barley ears and juniper berries from
a grave in Sahkara are at least quadrimil-
lenial Nor are the flowers found with a
mummy in DER ell Bahara or the wreaths
taken from the tombs Of Ahmes the First
and Ramses the Second any more recent.
Among the latter are noticeable several
varieties of chrysanthemum, blue and
white lotus, poppy and larkspur. Celery
mingled with leaves and various grasses
is not infreQuent.

An EngIish Fog.

The thickness of an English fog is
shown by the experience of a bather there
who on rising to the surface after a pre-
liminary dive found himself surrounded
by an impenetrable white vapor. and did
not know in which direction to swim. He
felt himself drifting seaward, because he
distinctly heard the fog bells upon the
dredgers at the mouth of the harbor
The bather became greatly alarmed, and
after while felt his strength giving way
followed by a feeling of numbness. He
swan first in the ordinary style, then on
his side and on his back, varying his eff
forts to keep himself ahoat by drifting
about motionless. Strange to say, after
being in the sea over an hour and becom-
ing much exhausted, he suddenly touched
a rock and scrambling out of the water
and the fog he discovered that he had
landed close to the spot whence he had

early this morning and reported that an
hour or TWO before daylight she had been

TO her throat made it quite difficult for
her to talk, but she told her story in a
Straightforward way. The policeman at
once set out TO find the old man. Meeting
Deputy Sheriff Gordon, the two went on a
6unt together. They finally found him
and took him to the jail. The old fellow
protested innocence of any wrong-dOing
and declared that if he had done any
thing like that he must have been
asleep" This will hardly hold water,
however. Rape is a capital offense under
the Florida statute.

lantic.
From the Morning Oregonian.
Mr.. and Mrs. w II. Hahlo of Butte,
Mont. who are making a bridal tour of
the Pacific coast. are stopping at the Port
land. They We're married at Spokane last
Tuesday. where the bride, well known in
society circles of that city as Miss Fisher,
has lived for several years. Her father
is a prominent furrier of that place Mr..
Hahlo is a prosperous merchant of Butte,
and has a large circle of friends in the
northwest.
On Wednesday morning Mr.. and Mrs.
Hahlo met with a curious mishap at the
union depot in Spokane, where they were
to take the Great Northern sleeping car
for this city, over the o. R. and n Co. S
line. The o. r. and n. Co.'S train and
the Great Northern train leave the depot
within three minutes of each other, one
bound for the east, the other for this city.
Mrs. HahlO, accompanied by some friends,
went to the depot without Mr. Hahlo who
was to join her before the train left. He
had been delayed up town by some impor-
tant business arrangement. Mrs. Hahlo,
by mistake, got aboard the Great North
ern train, eaStbound. Mr.. HahlO arrived
at the depot, and supposng that his
bride was safely aboard the Great North
ern sleeper on the o. r. and N. CO.. train,
stepped aboard just as the train was pull
ing out of the station.
Going into the sleeper Mr. Hahlo soon
discovered that his wife was not on the
train. Immediately, to draw 1t mild, he
got considerably excited. The train had
gone several miles before he made up his
mind the best thing he could do would be
to get off and walk back to Spokane.
Meantime Mrs. Hahlo was having. an in
teresting time. When the Great Northern
train pulled out of the depot for the east
and her husband had not Joined her in the
sleeper, she sent for the conductor, who
soon discovered she was on the wrong
train.
A few miles east of Spokane the Grea
Northern track crosses the Northern Pa
cifc track. There Mrs. Hahlo was handed
off the train. and fortunately, caught a
Northern Pacific train back to Spokane
within a few minutes. Arriving at Spo
kane she met her husband. Explanations
were exchanged and everybody was happy
again in a very short time.
The next day Mr.. and Mrs. Hahlo got
on the right train together, and arrived
in this city.
