that machine for sweeping chimneys
vas invented and the custom of en-
ploying boys as climbing sweepers
gradually ceased, but before that Jonas
Hanway did what he could TO protsct
tnese poor little fellows. They had
often to go up chimneys on bitter cold
mornings; sometimes they stuck fast
and died, often they got bad bruises and
sores from this dangerous work. Some
of the timid ones, too, were always
afraid Of meeting bogies in the Chin
neys. Even at the age of six or seven,
children were SO employed, because,
when small, they could climb up mar
row chimneys better, and little girls
we're actually sent up sometimes. Mr..
Hanway obliged the masters TO feed
these young sweeps properly, 20 have
them washed after their work, and to
give them beds, not dirty ticks, to sleep
upon; also he got their hours short
ened.
When he was IN London, Hanway
lived during many years in a house in
Red Lion square, Holborn, and he had
all the rcception-rooms there decorated
with beautiful paintings and devices.
The reason he gave for this was good
one; he said that often visitors did not
know what to talk about, and these wall
scenes gave them a subject.-Chatter

ANOTHER PYRAMID ENTERED.

Latest Discovery Made by Mr.. jacques de
Morgan Among Esypt's Antiquities.
Mr.. Jacques de Morgan, director gen.
eral of the Egyptian Antiquities. has
just succeeded in entering the Abou-
Roach pyramid, task attempted in
vain some ten years ago by his pre-
deoessors at the head of the same
service. A PaSsageway giving access
to 80 rooms has been discovered. The
work of clearing the royal rooms Is
now progressing, but so far no ia
scription has been met with.
The Abou-ROach pyramid marks the
northern limit of the Memphis ne
,rOpole. II Is situated on the border Of
the Nile valley, north of the Gizeh
pyramids. From the nature of the
tonbs discovered in it's vicinity, this
pyramid seems to belong TO the ancient
empire. Much dila pidated and ruined
as it is, it has the appearance of large
mound.
-Four pyramids previously unopened
have been entered by the antiquities
service this year, but the lack of in
scriptiOns renders for the present the
Identification of their owner an i'm
possibility. During his long campaign
of excavations, Marietta never found
any inscription IN any of the pyramids
royal rooms, and he was on his death
bed when be was informed of the dis
covery made by Brugsch Bey Of the
King Pepi sepulchral room with the
celebrated inscription of the Book Of
the Dead" bearing the kings names
and cartouches. 1t must be remembered
also that all the inscriptions diScov-
cred by NJ. de Morgan at Dashur and at
LIGHT by II. Gauthier were found IN
the ruins of the outside funeral temple
adjoining the pyramids The writer
remembers well while visiting the
0usessesen III. sepulchral rooms, under

The Unique Experience of the First Mar
to Garry IN Umbrella in London.


We have it on good authority that
Jonas Hanway, the eccentric phil.
anthrophist, was the first person who
walked about the streets of London
with an umbrella over his head. He was
man who did not want courage, as we
know from other deeds which he did
Of more dangerous sort. Being q
Quaker, he was not afraid of sneers or
ieering remarks, which Quallers have
always had 10 encounter. Very likely
he was both insulted and pelted when
he appeared with his umbrella in soma
streets, for the constables of the reign
of George III. did not keep order so well
as our modern policemen do. Probably
good Mr.. Hanway's original umbrella
was even larger than those TO which,
in sllusion 10 one of Dickens tales. the
popular name of camps" is often given
by way OF joke. The Georgian umbrel-
las are described 10 US as being made
of green oiled canvas, with cane ribs
which would not bear . strong gust of
wind. Cowper, the poet, in his Task
mentions the umbrella as an article
which people used to protect them from
the sun. because il was the fashion then
to cut down many of the fine old trees
of parks and groves, so that perhaps
this vas Hanway's first idea about If,
that it made good sunshade.
Evidently the umbrella came to US
from the east, where il is employed for
that purpose. but the French had il
before US. This was one thing which
made people dislike il. for French fash
ions were thought silly. Macdonald,
writing in A D. IT'S. says that the Lon
