1t Is "A remarkable and instructive
fact that the career of four of the
most renowned characters that ever
lived closed with violent or mournful
death
Alexander, after looking down from
the dizzy heights of his ambition upon
conquered world and weeping that
there were no more To conquer, died
of intoXication in n scene of debauch,
or, as some suppose, by poison mingled
In his wine.
Hannibal, whose name carried ter
ror to the heart Of Rome Itself after
having crossed the Alps and put to
flight the armies of the mistress of
the world was driven from his coun-
try and died at last of poison admins
tered by his own hands in n foreign
land rnlamented and unwept.
Caesar. the conqueror of 500 cities,
and his temples bound with chaplets
dipped In the blood of million of his
foes, WIS miserably assassinated by
those he considered his nearest friends.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obcyed, after filling the earth
with the terror of his name, closed his
lays in lonely Punishment upon bar
rem rock in the midst of the Atlantic
ocean.
Such the four men who may be con
sidered representatives of all whom
the world calls great, and such their
end ADMINISTRATION, or poison, suicide,

1t is his business, of course, and he
becomes expert at 1t. ms any man
might in any work, but the customer
who pays any attention to II at all is
sure to be interested nevertheless in
the accuracy with which the butcher
cuts off just the required amount of
meat. Whether 1t Is two pounds of
steak, or four pounds of chops, or six
pounds of corned beef, it's all the same
to him. He cuts without long dwelling
upon where to set the knifes. He
slices away sort of casuallike and
plies the saw and lays the meat on
the scales, and 1t does not weigh more
than n quarter or half pound from
the weight required on even the
heaviest pieces, and on the lighter
pieces he comes within an ounce or
two or hits 1t right on the nail
man, for instance. goes into n
butcher shop and asks for three and a
half or four pounds of, say, corned
beef. The butcher gets a big piece
out of the pickle. lays it on n block
and picks up knife, and. without the
slightest hesitation, with one strong,
smooth sweep cuts off n piece, which
he lays on the scales. 1t weighs three
pounds and three-quarters. 1t is in
weight exactly midway between the
limits set
The expert butcher gets his ability
to do this, naturally enough, from
good Judgment, to start with, backed
up by long experience. but when he
cuts things as close as this even the
customer familiar with his skill looks
upon him rs wizard.-New York

To the Egyptian death was but the

the most vivid emotions of this life
were tame. lie lived with the fear of
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him of that
dreadful Initiation into the mysteries
of the tremendous after life for which
his present existence was but
preparation. His cemeteries were not
hidden away in remote suburbs; his
dead were not covered with mere
grassy mounds or Il slab of stone. The
whole land was his graveyard; its
whole art was of the mOrtuary. Are

tombs in the world-the pyramids

honeycombed passages and galleries,
chambers, pits, all painfully eXcavated
In honor of the illustrlous dead, and
sculptured and painted with elaborate
skill TO make them fit habitatlons for
his ghost.
Wherever he looked the Egyptian
bcheld preparations for the great turn

was squaring blocks for the tomb
chamber; the potter nodded images
of the gods, or bowls and Jars, to be
placed In the grave for the protection
or refreshment of the Ka, exhausted
with the ordeals OF the under world;
the sculptor and painter were at work
upon the walls of the funeral cham
Der, illustrating the scenes through
which the ghost was to pass, or de-
picting the industrious life of the de-
parted.
The very temples which cluster along
the levels beside the Nile were, In n
sense, but vestibules TO the tombs In
the hills behind. The sacred lake. now
the weedy, picturesque haunt of wafer
fowl, was then the scene of solemn
ferrylngs of the dead. The temple
walls were covered with the terrors
of the judgment to come. The houses
of the living. indeed, were built Of per

and the shrines where supplieatiop
was made to the gods who ruled their
fate were made to last forever. On
these all the strength, the science and

She sat stern and erect, and looked as
though life to her was pretty tough

that she was leading her nervous hus-
