VANITY FAIR.

Eads start in curious ways. Not many
neople know that longer skirts came in
because Queen Victoria had bandaged
foot which she desired to hide. Tnere
was once a wild craze in Paris Tor
gowns Of a peculiar shade OF yellow. IL
came about because poor manufactur-
81. bestowed bolt of yellow velvet on
the tragedienne Rachel, with the re-
ouest that she wear it and make MS
fortune. She did have a gown mace
from the stuff, and every one raved
over it and Immediately copied 1t.
Another incident is more recent. a
lady stopping at a European capital
wished to attend the races, but her
trunks had not arrived and she was
forced to go in plain black gown,
which she frightened by carrying
flaming red parasol. To her amazement
Paris went wild over the combination,
and no other color parasol was really
the thing for time after.
You must not sleep as you have al
ways done-it isn't healthy. A French
physician, NJ. Fischer, is responsible
for the statement. Instead OF having
pillows under your head. put them un-
der your feet if you must have them.
Your head must be on a level or lower
than your feet The doctor says the
old way of sleeping induced all sorts of
ailments. If you sleep in the new way
YOU will not have insomnia or night
mare. Your sleep will be intellectual
because more profound and the entire
nervous system will be ameliorated.
Years ago Prof. Max Muller was Civ
ing a luncheon at All-Souls' college,
Oxford, to the Princess Alice, the wife
of the grand duke OF Hesse-Darmsad
and the second daughter OF Queen Vic
tOria. There were not a dozen guests
besides the princess and her husband.
What excited the curiosity of all
strangers present was a set of little
round bowls of silver, about the size
of large orange. They were brought
round filed to the brim with the famous
ale brewed in the college, says an ex-
change. These, we are told were tumb
lerS, and we were speedily shown how
they came by their names-a fitting les
son for the guests Of a philologist.
When one Of these little bowls was
empty it was placed on the table mouth
{ downward. Instantly, 50 perfect was
lis balance, it flew back to its proper
position as if asking TO be filled again.
No matter how it was treated-trundled
along the floors. balanced carefully on
its side, dropped suddenly upon the soft,
thick carpet-up it rolled again and set
tied itself with few gentle shakings
and swayings into its place, like one of
those indiarubber tumbling dolls bah
les delight in.
This, then was the origin of our
word tumbler. at first made of silver, as
are all these All-Souls tumblers. Then,
when glass became common, the round
glasses that stood on a fiat base super
seeded the eXquisitely balanced silver
spheres and stole their names so sue
cessfully that you have to 50 10 ALL

ON THE NILE
Stands the Oldest Obslisk, Constructed
Thousands of Years Ago.


The Oldest of all the obelisks is the
beautiful one of rosy granite which
stands alone among the green fields on
the banks of the Nile not far from
Cairo, says the Pail Mall Gazette. 1t is
the gravestOne Of great city which
has vanished and left alone this relic
behind. That city was Bethshemes of
Scripture, the famous On, which is
memorable TO all Bible readers as the
residence of the priest OF On, Potiphe-
ran, whose daughter, Asenath. Joseph
married. The Greeks called it Heliop-
Oils, the city of the sun, because there
che worship Of the sun had its chief
center and its most sacred shrine. Il
was the seat of the most ancient uni
versity OF the world, 10 which youthful
students came from all parts Of the
world TO learn the occult wisdom which
the priests of On alone could teach.
Thales. Scion, Eudoxus, Pythagoras
and Plato all studied there: perhaps
Moses, too. 1t was also the birthplace
OF the sacred literature of Egypt, which
were written on p2pyrus leaves, the
original chapter of the oldest book in
the world, generally known as The
Book of the Dead" giving most strik-
ing account Of the conflicts and tri-
umphs of the life after death. a whole
copy or fragment of which every Egyp-
tian, rich or poor. wished TO have bur-
led with him in his coffin, and portions
| OF which are found inscribed on every
mummy case and on the walls of every
tomb. In front Of one of the principal
temples OF the sun, in this magnificent
city, stood, along with a companion.
long since destroyed, the solitary ODE
lisk which we now behold on the spot.
1t alone has survived the wreck of all
| the glory of the place. 1t was con-
| structed by UsUrtesen l., who is suppos-
ed to have reigned $500 B. c., and has
Outlived all the dynastic changes of the
! land, and still stands where it originally
stood nearly ~ centuries ago. What
appears OF its shaft above ground is 6S
feet in height, but its base is buried
in the mud OF the Nile, and year after
| year the inundatiOn of the river depos-
its its film of soil around its foot and
buries it still deeper in its sacred grave.

1000 Stolen Letters.

The English Postoffice is universally
recognized as an institution of won
derful efficiency, but from reported
incident it would appear that a few
thousand or more letters and things
go astray.
George Twen, postman, was
charged with stealing letters and par
GELS. The prisoner was arrested on
Wednesday, and when q search was
made by the police of the stables in
the George Inn yard where he keeps
his pony, 1000 letters and parcels were
found, addressed to all parts of the
United Kingdom. The parcels con.
tanned, among other things, butter,
funeral wreaths and clothing. The
stoppage of letters is supposed to have
been going on for some time, as some
of them are dated 1891, and mice had
built in the papers. The prisoner was
remanded. New York Journal.
