THE MAJORS MUMMY.

When the Major was in Thebes, a good many years ago, he bought a mummy. Not the kind that is now manufacturedfo American museums in all the villages around Luxor, but a bona-ffde mummy, of warranted high degree. A mummy, he reflected at the time, would be novel feature in country house. It combined the dou- ble merits of decoration and inc mento mori." It's gaunt and sombre lineaments would serve to carry the mind, in forgetful age, back across the centuries as no historical work could do. Judged as a curio merely it would be valuable. Such were the mo- tives impelling the major to his cum- brous and costly purchase.
 These ideas, unfortunately, were not realized The christening influence of the mummy, while admitted up to certain extent, was not appreciated by the majors wife or the majors daugh- ters. The servants could not stand 1t. People who took the house vowed they had seen 1t walking, and eventually it was relegated to lumber-room and forgotten. Not long ago accidental dis covery brought it once more to light, but the majors infatuation had van- ished. q will keep the skull and cross- bones," he said, "and the rest shall be destroyed" This spoliation of a vene rable relic was barbarous, but it was also difficult The major did not know how to clean the skull. He questioned | the medical man who came to inspect | his lumbago, and the medical man said, e.. fy,i ierI,t in Q and I don't think you'll have much dif- 1 ficulty: boiling would be better, per- | haps. but your cook might be squeam- ish.' So the major buried his mummy in a soft-looking place at the end of | the garden, choosing dark night for | the interment.
 All would have been we'll If the major | had reckoned with the gardener. He | had not. Consequently, when week later that individual came upon the | body while turning up the soil, he saw a sight which turned him up as well. In such emergencies a gardener should go directly to his master; this one went | and got a drink. And being thereby re- lieved, he communicated his worst sus- picions to a friend, and the friend ad-
 vised him to go to the police, and so the fun began.
 The major was sleeping peacefully
 the sleep of the innocent when the DO
 lice arrived with mattocks and lanterns
 They first visited the grave, and having
 satisfied themselves that the body wa:
 there proceeded to the house and rans
 up the major. It was about a. m
 The major tumbled out of bed ant l a bused them for 3 crew of drunkeI
 vagabonds, bidding them be gone
 When they rang a second time h.
 threatened to call the police. But,
 came confused reply, i've are the DO
 lice"
 'Then what in thunder do yo'
 want?" asked the major.
 One of them said something about ; body in the garden, and the majo . guessed the rest.

and ask Dr. Osborne about it" re- marked the major tartly, and banged down the window.
 So the posse went off to Dr, Osborne's house, about two miles away, and rang him up, It happened that he was much aggrieved at not having the police cases to do, and when the police, therefore rang him up at an early hour or the morning With vague rekuests Tor lntor- nation about body he consigned them generally to a warmer region and told them to go and knock up MT DreW' who was their own man.
 Off they went to Drew, who, as luck would have 1t, was out Of town. A young assistant was in the house, hoW- ever, full of zeal and keen to dlstln- guish himself. He got up and dressed himself, stumbled off to the garden with the constables-it was still as dark as pitch-made a nasty post-mortem with the aid of his olfactory senses ana tallow dip, and pronounced llte to have been extinct for something ike fourteen days. Dr. Osborne's prescrlp- tion had so far answered that the thing was all soft and puffy; but the recollec- tions of his first post-mortem Will lln- ger in the young assistants memory, | for that corpse had been dead TOT a matter of thirty centuries, and the 1 story got around the local papers. | For the present, howeer, that put the | finishing touch The body was, prompt | ly exhumed, reverently disposed upon an improvised stretcher and solemnly carried off In due course the coroner l of foi h. | quest was ordered to be held. The ma | jor received his first intimatlon or the length to which things had gone Ill the | form of summons to attend the coro- ners court. Then he thought the mat ter had passed beyond a joke The coroner was a decent fellow and a friend of his; so he called on him and | explained the whole circumstances. II you hold that inquest" he said, you | will be making a fool of yourself, ana the coroner thought so too. Conse- quently the proceedings were cancelled
 There still remained the mummy tc | deal with, however, and as this was making it's presence rather ofenslVel5 felt in the parish, what must they de but take and bury it in the churchyafd When the major applied in due course for his property he was informed tha, on no condition could it be restored without home secretary's order, o1 some such thing. Being sick of the business, he decided to let It De; st there reposes the mummy, away iron all it's complicated gods, snugly Jostllne in consecrated ground the generations of departed tradesmen who have lale
 their bones in Muddlesboro' church
 yard.
 Muddlesboro' ?-well, that is yer. nearly the name; for the story is true II
 all essential particulars, and is not al
 effort of fiction. Mummies have oftel
 played a part in similar affairs 10 tnls

Swedish Lapland Is reckoned by nun dreds of millions of tons, most of 1t rich, and much of it exceptionally pure, run ming from sixty per cent. to seventy per cent. of metallic iron, with mere traces of phosphorus and sulphur. A good deal of the highest quality has already been delivered on trucks at Antwerp for fifteen shillings siXpence per ton. These prices are higher than those paid at the same ports for Spanish ores, but the bulk of the latter ores contain from twelve to fifteen per cent. less iron, and are therefore considerably less valua-
 Dle. AS the matter now stands It De- comes a question of whether Scandlna- vian ores can be landed in England at a price which will enable them to com
 pete in this country with Lake Superl-
 or ores delivered at Pittsburg, both de- scriptions of ore being of the same ap-
 proximate quality. It Is here and on this special point that the question or supremacy between the two greatest iron-making countries of the world is being fought out There Is not much in the difference In the distances over which the ores have to be carried be- tween the mines and furnaces, the av- craze being nearly twelve hundred miles from the Superior mines in Amer | iea, and about sixteen hundred miles | from Sweden to England. Nor should there be much difference in the average cost of the ores at the mines, both be- | ing found in enormous open deposits, l capable of being largely worked by me l chanical means. It becomes therefore
 mainly a question of profit, freight and
 royalty, and these considerations not
 only depend upon, but largely govern, the extent of the traffic. As 1t is the | United States has been wonderfully 1 successful in reducing the rates ct freight for the transport of all kinds of
 commodities, but especially for that of l minerals, until iron ores are now car | ried on the great lakes, a distance of l we'll on to thousand miles, for less
 than two shillings per ton, and coal is sent from Alabama to be shipped at | Mobile and Pensacola, distance of two hundred and sixty to three hundred
 miles by rail, for three shillings to three shi1lings sixpence per ton. If our SWe-
 dish friends can give us similarly low
 rates there need be no cause to fear fol the future of the British iron industry
 for long time to come.-Londor
