Mr.. Edwin R. Trip, the postmaster at
Middle6eld Center. N. r.. recently had u
dangerous experience which left him III Il
helpless state. His system was so much
shattered that it was feared he might never
recover.
In an interview with a reporter of the
Republican, regarding this experience which
had attracted considerable attention, MIR.
Trip stated: :,

afterward learned was locomotor ataxia, and
was unable to walk, and l kept getting

ceived no benefit, and also used ~ g%alvanic

was in May and June, 1892. / gave up all
hope of ever having the use Of my limbs
again, and did not expect to live very long:
I was unable to dress or undress myself, and
could not get around the house unless ! was
moved in a chair.

Greco Egyptian Painting.

The remarkable series of portraits
found in Egypt are described in The
Monthly illustrator and the methods of
the old artists employed.
The methods of these ancient days
were totally different from those Of the
present day and were evidently vastly
more durable. Panels of wood were
used to paint on-sycamore and cypress
also panels of papier mache, and &C.
casionally they were formed by gluing
three thicknesses of canvas together.
These panels were usually about Ia
inches long by Z inches wide. The artist
used liquid wax instead Of oil to mix
the colors, which were made not from
vegetable, but from mineral substances
and were of marvellous ~brilliancy and
permanence-blue powdered lapis lazu-
Ii, green ~malachite, red oxide of iron,
etc. The colors were laid on in patches,
somewhat after the fashion of a mosaic.
and afterward blended with an instru-
ment called the cestrum, which appears
to have been a lancet shaped spatula,
long handled, with at one end a curved
point, at the other a finely dsntated
edge. With the toothed edge the wax
could be equalized and smoothed. while
the point was used for placing high
lights, marking lips, eyebrows, etc.
The final process. which gives the
name %encaustic to this kind of painting,
was the burning in of the colors. This
was done by the application Of a heated
surface to the panel, though George
Ebers believes that in Egypt the heat
Of the sun was probably all that was
needed to complete the artists work.

CAR HORSES HARE TO GET
The Demand IL Now So Small That t..
Trade Neffects Them.


One of the most curious effects Of thu
general replacing Of horses by electrici-
ty and cable traction for drawing street
cars is being experienced by one Of the
extensive car lines in this city which
still uses horses. One would suppose
that, since the only lines in the whole
country which continue to use horses
now form but a very small percentage
Of those which used them five years
ago, these lines would have a much
wider range of choice and could get
horses Of a grade superior to the gen.
eral run Of those which used to be
offered to them. Remarkable as it may
seem, this is the exact opposite of the
truth.
The New York city line referred to
runs III direct competition with the
cable lines of the upper west side. and
its managers, who recently purchased
it, determined as o as they came in
to possession to place upon it a superior
lot Of horses, and in this way improve
its running until mechanical propulsion
could be introduced. Orders were sent
OuV w UuN " uSCuCu 1IOlSSSs XN y W
the surprise of the managers, it was
discovered that there were almost no
street car horses of any kind to be
bought
The explanation of this situation lies
in the fact that since the demand for
street car horses almost ceased the trade
machinery by which they were gathered
has fallen into disuse. A few years age
the street car horses were one of the
most important features Of the horse
market. They were animals Of a stand
ard grade and of almost stable price,
and every part of the country contributed
its quota. The street car horse had t.
be big and able and sound Of limb and
wind, but it might be of any age. Few
lasted long enough in the service tt
make the question of a few years more
or less of any consequence. The demand
was constant, and the price never varied
in New York more than from abou'
1925 to $3.50 each. Dealers could alway'
count upon getting this price and get
ting it promptly, and as a consequence
every horse which would answer thu
purpose was a safe investment at a lit
tie smaller price, and a clean profit O
$40 a horse was regarded as a fair mar
gin in handling them.
Horses Of all sorts, which lacked tn
qualities of speed, beauty or youth, bu
possessed the other requirements, wer'
quickly sorted out from the markets O
the whole country, and every big deale.
was always able to gather droves of ca
horses as fast as the companies needed
them. The trolley has superseded thu
car horses, and car horses are no longe
quoted as staples in the market. Th'
companies which still use them ar
obliged to go out and search the mart
and buy them one by one instead O
simply sending out al order for 100 O
900 or 500 and getting them as readil!
as they would so many loads of hay O.

How Bees Embalm.

Bees, says Horbis, can embalm as
successfully as could the ancient Egyp-
tians. 1t often happens in damp weather
that a slug or snail will enter a bee
hive. This is, of course, to the unpro-
tected slug a case of sudden death. The
bees fall upon him and sting him to
death at once. But what to do with the
carcass becomes a vital question. If left
where it is, it will breed a regular
pestilence. Now comes in the clever
ness of the insects. They set to work
and cover it with wax, and there you
may see it lying embalmed just as the

GOLD IN DUTCH GUIANA.
Mining Engineer woodrord Describes the
Placer Regions There.

Mining Engineer WOodrord Describes the
Placer Regions There.
Mr.. E. G. Woodford. formerly State Mining
Engineer of the South African Republic, arrived
in this city on Monday from a visit to the neg
lected colony of Dutch Guiana, or Surinam,
where he has been examining the gold placers Of
that region. He brings reports as favorable of
the mining prospects there as THE Sun has al
ready printed about the neighboring gold regions
Of British Guiana.
Mr.. Woodford says 1t is duo to tho apathy and
lack of resources of tho inhabitants, most of
whom are negroes or mulattoes, that so little Is
known Of the auriferous p. ftions Of Surinam.
Only about 5000 square miles in As, 900 miles Of
collaborating country have been properly studied:
The first belt Of gold placers Is on both sides Of
Paramaribo. The second belt is ON Sara Creek,
and fifty miles further on are the richest and
made for 1lO miles beyond that point to the
frontier.
The placers. he says, are in creeks, and, owing
for eight months in the year. The gold is usually

frequently obtained from five to fifty cents per
the placers are Of great extent and are ex-

tanned the year round.
Mr.. Woodford says it is difficult to obtain re-
liable statistics as TO the gold output, for before
the gold theft law went into effect it is believed
that about SO per cent. Of the product was
stolen. 1t is estimated that Won Hernert's placer
has yielded 81, 10000 in ten years, Browns
placer 5000, 900 in eight years, and five Others
have yielded from $4,000 to 100000 each per
annum for varying periods. Large outcrops OF
quartz containing visible gold are frequent, but
little opening has been done and their value
and permanence il therefore still undecided. A
few mining companies are at work, capital Is
Just beginning to flow in. and the Dutch Govern.
ment Is at length manifesting interest in its col
ony, and two proposals, for trunk lines of rail.
roads are before its Parliament. Mr.. ,Woodford
believes that this new gold region has every
natural advantage, and that it will soon attract
much attention.

Evidently Thought He Still Played in the
Brass Hand.

Brass band.
The Stonewall Brigade Band Of Staunton, Va,
which participated In the Grant Day ceremonies,
made things pleasant for the guests at the
Windsor during their stay. Concerts were held
every evening In tho lobby of the hotel. Among
those who enjoyed the concerts were the Presi-
dent and his party, Gen. John b. Gordon, and
Congressman Parish c.. Tate of Georgia. 1t was
a first-class band, uniformed in dazzling blue
with white fleece-trimmed capes and hussar
caps. The programme each evening contained,
besides operate and classical selections. several
old-timo favorite airs and Southern melodies.
The band is an old-time organization. although
most OF the members are now young men.
Stonewall jackson once played n cornet in the
band, and perhaps that accounts for the fact
that the leader played a cornet while directing
the players.
The first concert was held on Monday evening,
when President Mckinley arrived. 1t was a big

with him. A ,well.dressed man with n sandy
