Tools of the Pyramid Builders.

A two years study at Gizeh has
convinced Flinders Petrie that the
Egyptian stone workers of 1000 years
ago had surprising acquaintance
with what have been considered mod
crn tools. Among the many tools
used by the pyramid builders were
both solid and tubular drills and
straight and circular saws. The
drills, like those of to-day, were set
with jewels probably corundum, as
the diamond was very scarce), and
even lathe tools had such cutting
edges. So remarkable was the quail.
ity Of the tubular drills and the skill
of the workmen that the cutting
marks in hard granite give no indica
tion Of wear of the tool, while a cut
of a tenth of an inch was made II
the hardest rock at each revolution
and a hole through both the hardest
and softest material was bored per
fectly smGoth and uniform through
out. OF the material and method O
making the tools nothing is known.

The Empress Of Austria has been,
since the death of Prince Rudolf, a
complete mental wreck, subject to
most pathetic delusions about her
son, and requiring the greatest care.
She still preserves much of her
stately beauty, for which she has
been always famous among the royal
women Of Europe, for it is beauty
of contour which neither time nor
trouble can destroy; but she is con-
slant recluse. The Emperor, in
spite of domestic worry, adheres To
his habit Of accessibility to his peo'
pie, granting personal audiences and
listening to. every plea or story Of
real or fancied wrong, blending OF
patriarchal habit with magnificence
of court ceremonial which has not its
counterpart in Europe.

We were nearing Jacksonville, Fla,

She wrote for minute on one OF

remark:
"a colored man who is ambitious

I caught him in the vestibule two
minutes later and asked to see the
paper. 1t read:
"Mr Pullman-Your man, William
White, has been very attentive to me
and my children, and I would recon-
mend that you raise his salary and

Scotch, Thrift.

An event which caused much stir
in the little community was the in
PRODUCTION of gas. Previously oil of a
coarse kind, or camel coal placed on
the front of the CRATE, had been used
for lighting purposes. Candles were
expensive and their light feeble, and
so to a great extent the Squair was
in a state Of darkness, for necessity
or thrift reduced the use Of artificial
light to the minimum. An old
woman Of frugal habits, who had
means and appliances superior to her
neighbors, and who rejoiced in the
possession Of a servant, used to say to
that domestic, as the shades of even
ing began to descend: "Noo, Mamie,

StentOr.

SLeNtOTs
In the Grecian army it was usual
to have three men in each battalion
to communicate the commands of the
officers to the men. Of these, one
carried standard and another a
trumpet. But in the confusion and
din of battle, when neither signal
could be seen nor trumpet heard,
the third man (who for this purpose
was the strongest in the army com.
municated the commands by word OF
mouth. Homer relates Of one Of
these men, Stentor by name, that he
shouted as loud as fifty other men.
Hence a man with a powerful voice
is said to possess the voice Of StentOr,
or stentOrian voice.
A Dining Room Motto.
In the dining-room of quaint old
house seen lately was the inscription
over the fireplace in flowing, illumi-
mated text:
Work the jaws,
silent pause
Frequent haw-hfws
Which was an exceedingly apt re-
minder Of the value Of slow eating
and cheerfulness at table. .
