(From the London Mail)
During his comprehensive explorations
in Egypt Prof. Flinders Petrie came upon
an ancient cemetery of very large proper
tions. from which he unearthed a great
number of skeletons belonging to a peo-
pie which have since been termed the
new race
A representative collection of these
skeletons. carefully numbered. has now
arrived at the Cambridge University from,
the spot near Thebes where they We're
found Material was thus furnished for
a study of variation in the human skele-
ton. and the series of minute measure
ments which have been made not only fur
nishes valuable statistics, but brings out
several interesting features with regard
TO the original owners of the bodies
The ancient people, according TO the dis
eoverer of their remains constituted a
branch of the same Libyan race that
formed the Amonite power and their
date is put down by him as between S,0O0
and 4,000 B. C.
The dimensions of the long bones point
to a stature similar to that of the French
but while in France the women vary
most, the opposite held good with ''the
new race Taking everything into con-
sideratiOn, support is given by the in
vestigation to a generalization in Prof.
Pearsons forthcoming book on the
Chances of Death that the more prim-
tive and savage a race the less Will be
the variation of both sexes, and the
greater will be the approach to equality
of variation between them
That the early inhabitants of the coun-

custom of ''squatting' is shown by the
structure of the bones of the foot, which
manifest the peculiarities found in mod

BUN TUCK AND WONG.
Amusing Tale of the Premier of
New Zealand.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.) }

The Right Hon Richard Seddon, pre-
mier of New Zealand, will be known for
ever and day as Bun Tuck. the English
partner in a mining syndicate of the days
of long ago. Mr.. George Hutchinson. the
irrepressible member of Patea, some two
months back announced that Mr.. Seddon
had once gone whacks" with two Celes-
tials in gold claim. The premier vigor-
ously denounced the base in
sinuation, consequently Mr.. Hutchison
threatened TO produce a duly signed
statement made by one of the premier 5
Chinese partners. He did so, and read it
in the House. Here il is:
Listen TO me: Wong Shung Wal and
Tsai Chung, (Which is the narrator were
gold picking at Knappers Gully on the
Six Mule Run. He who rules the Govern
ment came to our camp one night. We
alarmed. He had been with everything
at the place called Stafford Town. He
His name among the English was Dick
Seddon. After we had eaten rice he had
much talk with Wong. who was very
learned in all languages He could talk
in the language of the country as much
as the Mandarin Seldom. Then they did
some writing. and this narrator also put
names to the end of the writing. When
Mandarin had gone Wong told this mar
rator that we were now brothers in the
claim but that our brotherhood was not
to be talked of. Wong said that Seddon
would be known as Bun Tuck.
He said our brother was powerful be-
fore the warden as an advocate and
sometimes went to the place of govern
ment, and was feared there for his great
talk. Wong was also a person of much
talk. but our people did not always listen
to him. He said Ben Tuck was very clev-
er. but not clever enough We had plenty
provisions then, and we had much joy.
and our perspiration ran very free. One
day Wong went away, because the con-
stable was looking for him. He only left
a message to say that he had been like
rat dragging a shovel, and that our
claim was sold to a number of white dew
lis. and that I had better leave the place
quietly. But this narrator was very poor

OF course, Mr.. Seddon was furious. and
demanded the withdrawal of what he
said was nothing but skit The mem

he would not withdraw it. so into Han

Chestertown,s Mail r.c,,,,;..

Chestertown, Md. Nov. 19--Mr. Cum
mings, of the Postoffice Department at

day to devise some means by which
Chestertown may be given better mail IA

population of over 5000 and thriving
business. The only mail going out leaves
the postoffice at O'Clock a. m, conse-
quentiy any letters or other mail matter
must be mailed the night before or long
before the business hours of the day of

not include mails by boat. which leave a

CHICAGo'S SOLUTION FOR
THE SERVANT PROBLEM
Plan 10 Induce Young Women to
Leave Office Work for Dones-

Chicago, Nov. 19,-To solve the servant
girl problem is the object of the Home
Science Bureau, the latest philanthropic
plan of the Womens Club.
As the first step the terms Servant
girl and domestic service" have been
abandoned and home science" has been
substituted.
The main object of the new bureau Is
to induce young women to abandon office
work for the better paving home sci
ence' field, and the change of terms, 1t is
supposed. will overcome their old objec-
tions to becGning servants.
An office has been opened and many
women who formerly worked in offices
are going in for the new work.
The promoters say that the duties that
go to make a house a home. if well per-
formed, require knowledge that may as
suredly be classed as scientific.
