THE WOW.WOW MAN CALLED
DOWN.

The way woman holds up het dress
when she goes across muddy street
has heretofore been considered her
own affair. There has been an unwrit.
ten law among the fair sex that the
height would be regulated by the sise
of the v0man's foot, and whether Ut
not she had on her best silk petticoat.
Last week the question was, however,
drawn into court in Brooklyn. A pref.
ty woman was crossing a muddy
street, and to keep her skirts from be.
ing soiled raised them to q level with
her shoe tops. The bicyclst Lindblatt
was standing near, and he yelled "Oh,
wow -wow," which hurt the feelings Of
the woman, and she had him arrested.
The Judge realized that this was a
serious case, as 1t had to legally settle
the skirt limit, and had also to take
into consideration the depth Of tito
mud. Their were, however, ma prcced'
ent to bc consulted, SO be did what was
better, he took the opinion Of a lot Ut
sensible women before handing down
his decision. He fined the man s25 for

A LEGISLATORS GRIEF.

The Yazoo Herald contains the fol.
lowing monkey and parrot and coon
story:
Hon. z. p. Suits is in mourning.
While in Jackson attending to his
duties as Il member Of the Legisla-
turc, he purchased parrot and a
monkey, to which he had become very
much attached. He brought them
home with him and gave them the
freedom OF the forest trees which are
so plentiful around his suburban
home. Now, . monkey In that neigh
borhood was a stranger to the colored
people. They had often heard Of
them, but had never seen one. While
Mr.. Monkey was skipping about
among the trees last week u cOloree
man came along, and installing tht
m0nkcy for a coon, shot him dead
Captain Suits refuses to be recon
cilcd, and says the idea Of his pei
monkey being taken for a coon by
crazy negro is just more than he car
patiently put up with.

THE CAP OF THE SPHINX.
THE STONE HAS BEEN DISCOVERED,
AFTER LYING BURIED FOR
CENTURIES.

1t has renamed for an American
to solve, ut least in part, the mystery
OF the Sphinx Of Egypt. This Amer.
lean, says the New York Journal, is
Col. G. Il. Raum, Of California.
lie has been for sometime conduct
ing Investigations in the East, and he
has kng taken deep interest in the
pyramids, the Sphinx and others w0n-
dcrs OF the land Of the PharOahs. The
whole story Of these huge evidences
OF thc activity OF generations long
since passed away had never, he felt,
been told, and a rich field yet remain.
cd for the explorer and the antigua
rian in digging, measuring and inves-
tigating about their foundations.
! After a careful investigation Of the
great Sphinx, which stares out upon
the desert waste of Ghizch, Col. Raum
came to the conclusion that there
were parts of it yet unaccountcd for.
He found in the head OF the Sphinx IA
deep hole that had no apparent con.
ncction with the design of the head,
and was obviously meant to support
some form Of crown or head-drcss.
This hole had been filed up with the
sand OF the desert and had been over.
looked for centuries. The Sphinx Is so
old that there are no authentic tradi-
tiOns regarding it in its complete
state, and nobody knows today what
it really means.
Col. Raum came tn the conclusion
that the hole in the head Of the
Sphinx had been meant to support Il
cap, which was evidently part OF its
symbolic design. lie concluded that
this cap was a large stune affair and
that its weight had probably been so
great that it could not have been car
ricd very far away and was probably
buried somewhere in the immediate
vicinity Of the Sphinx. Col. Raum
started to dig for the cap at the foot
of the Sphinx. In the course Of his
work he came upon Il subterrancan
temple beneath the forcpaws OF this
colossal monument to the glory of
some past ruler Of Egypt.
Here in this small temple beneath
the sands OF the desert the lOng.miss
ing cap Of the Sphinx has been found
1t exactly fits the hole in the head OF
the monument. 1t was discovered at
a distance Of fifteen feet below the
surface. The stone cap bears carved
design. The design shows three lOtu!
columns with snake beneath them
besides an ornamental carved border
The stone cap measures 4 feet 3 inches
: in width at the bottom. 1t is 2 fec
. inches across the top.
All OF the stone cap is painted red
, the color still showing clearly afte
3 many centuries. So long has this ca
r been buried at this spot, from whicl
