Egyptian Burials.

1t has hitherto been supposed that in
Egypt the practice of embalming the
bodies Of the dead and forming them
into mummies was the most ancient
method of sepulture, but Professor
Flinders Petrie, the well known Egyp-
tologist, has by recent excavations
thrown quite new light upon this
question of the ancient method of dis
posing of the dead. At Deshasheh, a
place about so miles south of Cairo, he
has discovered series of tombs, in the
collins of which he has found complete
skeletons from which the flesh has been
carefully dissected, evidently previous
to burial The collins are of admirable
workmanship, are made Of sycamore
and are in perfect preservation not
wfthstanding their 5000 years burial
in the sand 1t remains to be proved by
further excavations whether the mutila-
ton of the bodies was performed as a
ceremonial rite or whether this removal
of flesh from the bones points to canni-
balism on the part of the ancient peo-
pie. -Chambers' Journal

The Racket
F. VERMILYA.

AS our readers are aware, we have
been able to secure for them this year
an unusually advantageous clubbing
arrangement, which includes The Iowa
Homestead, its Special Farmers Insti-
tute editions, The Poultry Farmer,
The Farmers Mutual Insurance Jour
nal, and The Humane Alliance, togeth
er with our own paper, all for the sur
prisingly low figure of 81 so. Nothing
like this has ever before been offered
to our farmer readers. The Homestead
with its Special Institute edition for
January contains Ga pages of prac
tical farm information, and reading
the paper and it's Special Institute edi-
tions for year practically amounts to
liberal agricultural education. The
Special Farmers Institute edition for
the present month considers four inter
esting, practical topics relating to farm
prosperity, sheep husbandry, winters
work, ETC., and OH them more than 200
practical farmers and farmers wives
contribute their experiences, making
it remarkable collection of the best
thought on western farms. The Poul,
try Farmer, The Mutual Insurance
Journal, and the Humane Alliance, the
best of their class, should be in every
farm homo. Take advantage of this
great offer.

Some Remarks to Our Subscribers.

The REPUBLICAN has added about two
hundred dollars worth OF new material
to it's printing outfit during this month.
We had to do this in order to be proper
ly equipped for our increasing business.
We have nearly got to the place where
we think we have a model country
printing Office in equipment of type and
machinery. But these changes and ad
ditions have cost lots of money and we
desire those owing us to pay as soon as
possible. The most OF our subscribers
are careful to pay promptly every year,
and these remarks are not intended to
apply to them at all, but there are also
quite a number who are behind several
years. We have recently sent statments
to most of these and will soon send to
the rest.
We think the REPUBLICAN is worth
one dollar year and that no one should
expect us to send it to thea. Tor years
without paying anything. Especially
they should not as they have agreed to
pay for the paper by subscribing and re-
ceiving it. If they do not want to pay
for it they should not receive it, but
should settle and stop it. The REPUBLI-
CAN isn't bard to stop. Some local pa
pers are hard to stop. We contend that
such conduct on the part OF publishers
is poor business action, and will not pay
in the long run. We do not wish to
crowd this paper onto any subscriber
one week longer than he wants it. A
subscriber, as well as publisher, has
rights which should be respected, and it
pays the publisher to respect them.
We would rather establish the reputa-
ton of treating our subscribers fairly
and honestly than to hold few more on
our list against their wish. Some prac-
tees like these have done more to lower
the newspaper profession than can be
done to elevate it for years.
However, while subscriber has rights,
the publisher also has rights. One of
these is that he should receive his snb-
scription price once a year. There are
few that think publisher has no
rights but what they should violate if
they can. In other words they seem to
think that if they can beat the newspa
per man they ought to do it. There are
a few who, after getting in debt for two
or three years subscription, will refuse
to receive the paper from the post office.
The editor doesn't desire to risk himself
in expressing in print his opinion of
such conduct. We would be glad to
settle with such parties and remove their
names from our list if they do not want
the paper longer.
Some of our subscribers often ask US
why we do not discontinue paper when
the time for which it is paid has expired.
We always do discontinue it when we
have received such orders. When we
have received no such orders we con-
tinue the paper. Very few local papers
do otherwise. 1t is easy for subrcriber
to give the order to stop it if he doesn't
want it,

No scheme of publicity is complete

All men who advertise are not success
