Scientists have discovered that the

memory are too much food, too much

enough, too much education.

QUEER HUMAN NATURE.
Who wanted Something He
Couldn't Get.

the other day" said a travelling sales
man Just in from the road, land, know
ing that couple of jolly drummers
would arrive that night, was anxious to
get hold of little whisky with which
to refresh them.
1--WE were none of us heavy drinkers,
but the mere fact that the stuff was
not to he had made me doubly keen to
secure it. The grand jury was due to
sit in few days and all the usual blind
tigers were shut up tight as wax, but
a native volunteered to pilot me out to
a darky known as Whisky Gabe,' who
sold liquor on the quiet in the country.
Gabe's cabin was supposed to be two
miles away, but it proved to be nearer
six. We drove in a ramshacllle buggy,
broke spring on the road, were tipped
out and soaked to the skin in a branch,
and when we finally got there the darby
told us that his stock was completely
exhausted.
after a good deal of urging. however,
he said that he had cousin in town who
always kept stock on hand, and gave
the native some mysterious whispered
directions. We had more trouble with

HOW MUMMIES WERE MADE.
The Three Methods of Preserving
Human Bodies Practiced by
the Egyptians.

There were three different ways of
mummifying the body, practiced b. the
ancient Egyptians, the price being the
chief mark of distinction, and cause
for the differences. In the first and
most expensive method the brain was
extracted through the nose by means
Of an iron probe, and the intestineS
were removed entirely from the body
through an incision made in the Side
with a sharp Ethiopian stone. The
intestines were cleansed and washed
in palm wine, and, after being covered
with powdered aromatic gums, were
placed in Canopic jars. The body was
then filled up with myrrh and cassia
and other fragrant and astringent sub
stances, and was laid in natron for 70
days. 1t was then carefully washed
and wrapped up in strips of full linen
smeared with gum. The cost of mum
rnifying body in this fashion was a
talent of silver, about $1,000.
In the second method the brain was
not removed at all, and the intestines
were simply dissolved and removed in
fluid state. The body was also laid
in salt or natron, which, ii is said, dis
solved everything except the skin and
bones. The cost of mummifying in
this manner was % minae, or $3.50. The
third method was employed for the
poor only. 1t consisted simply of
cleansing the body by injecting some
strong astringent, and then sailing il
for 20 days. The cost was very small.
If the friends of the dead were too
poor to 60 to the expense of even the
cheapest of these methods, the body
was soaked in salt and hot btumen, or
in salt only. In the salt and bitumen
process every cavity of the body was
filled with bitumen, and the hair disap-
peared. Clearly it is to the bodies which
were preserved in this way that the
name mummy" derived from the
! Arabic mumia, or bitumen) was first
applied. The sailed and dried body is
easily distinguishable The skin is like
paper, the features and hair have disap-
peared and the bones are very brittle
and white. 1t may be noted that the
eyes were sometimes removed and their
places supplied by Others of ivory or
ohsidian. The hair was also removed
and made into packet covered with
linen and btumen. At Ia tie period the
! flank incision WAS covered with metal
plate, on which a symbolic eye was en-
graved. The linen bandages employed
| to swathe the body were three or four
inches wide; the length was sometimes
as great as 400 yards.-St. Louis Globe

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
Tells How He Was Very Easily
Driven Away from a House by
Very Small Boy.

81 never was more completely routed
in my life SAID the retired burglar,
Ethan / was once by very small boy,
though he did have TO help him large

it was, and, mussin' around. got into
this small boys room. | don't know
whether he heard me in the hall
though l don't believe he did, because
I'm not ordinarily noisy man around
the house-that is, around other peo-
pies houses, anyway-or whether he
saw the one beam of light threw into
the room for second from my lamp,
but | guess il was the light.
Anyhow, before I'd taken two steps
in that room | heard the teerifcest
blast on a tin horn / ever heard; and it
seemed as though it was right within
a foot of my head / turned my lamp
10 where il came from, and there, sit
ting up in bed and blowing loud enough
for a fog horn. was a small boy, ten
years, maybe, with his hair standing on
end, if any human beings ever did, but
blowing this horn good and hearty. |
suppose the youngster must have been
nervous or wakeful over some celeb
ton that had come off or that was COM
ing, that they blow horns in, and he had
his horn under his pillow and was lying
there awake. He'd read literature
enough to know what a light from
bull's-eye meant in house at that hour
III the night, and when he saw my light
creeping over the carpet he reached
under his pillow and got that horn and
began 10 blow it; scared half to death,
but never finching, and blowing all
the better on that account.

ana all that are very necessary parts
Of mans outfit if he calculates to
amount to anything; but there are
times when no matter how much a
man 5 got 'em he doesn't want TO UNI
pack EN- at all; but just wants TO light
out as fast as he can; and this seemed
very clearly to be one of these occa-
sions. because it wouldn't be two min
utes before the whole neighborhood
would be around the house; and I
started right away, hearing the folks
on that floor slamming doors open and
making grand rush for the small
boys room as | went down ne front
stairs. His excitement kept him a-blow-
ing second or two after they came,
and that time was a great help, and
then, of course, it took him a little time
to tell his story, and that gave me more
time; enough TO get away in.
But, if did get away. suppose they
must have looked on little Willie as a
hero; and | think myself that Willie
was pretty slick."-N. Y. Sun.

BOSTON'S LONE FISHERW AN
She Fishes Day After Day, Not for
Pleasure, But for Fish, and
She Gets Them.

Boston has a lone fsherwoman. The
many hundreds of passengers on the
ferries for some time have seen her sit
ting, man fashion, on the end of an East
Boston wharf holding a fishing line ex-
pectantly in her hand and with her eyes
fixed on the water directly beneath
her. She scarcely ever looks up and
seems Indifferent to the stares of the
people on the passing boats.
She enjoys the distinction of being
the only woman among the many fish
ermen who fringe the edges of Boston's
wharves from sunrise until sunset. She
comes to the wharf almost daily at an
| early hour with a small basket. She
does not go home to dinner, but eats
| light luncheon which she brings with
her. Fishing is by no means simply
pleasure with her. To a reporter she
said her fishing partly supported her
self and her two little children.
Il am not ashamed of my occupa-
| ton" she went on to say. "All kinds Of
weather finds me on the wharf. In the
morning | take care of the house and
send the children 10 school, and then I
come down on the wharf and fish |
never suffer any annoyance. The men
| who cast their lines from the wharf
treat me with the greatest respect.
How much do / get for my fish
Well, that depends. Sometimes l get
| as high as three cents apiece for good
sized founders. My neighbors are my
best customers
The conversation was interrupted by
n slight shivering of the line. A quick
jerk, series of hand-over-hand mo-
tions and presently a big founder was
thrown upon the wharf. With much
| skill the tisherwoman pulled the hook
from the gills OF the founder and threw
the fish into the partly filled basket
| Business is pretty good to-day" she
said with a smile. Everything. you
know, depends upon luck in this bust
ness. ! have sat here some days for
hours without getting as much as a
uibble, while those sitting beside me
pulled in plenty of fish.
wet weather does not frighten me in
the least. In fact, l enjoy it, for the
fish bite better.
II would advise very poor persons to
take TO fishing. With bent hook and
! two cents worth of line one can get
enough fish for food Boston harbor is
filled with several KINDS of fish, and
they are good eating. Fish bite at all
hours, so one need not be afraid of the
store closing. Nobody owns the ocean.
and as long as the whartinger doesn't
get cross the fishermen should be con-
tented. Boston Herald.

THEY PASS NE BY.

They pass me by, these friends OF mine;

with high ambitions lofty ray.
They mount with purpose fair and strong
TO heights that fail my dazzled sight,
To place of power. to peaks Of song,
To upper realms of heavenly light
They pass me by.
Thay pass me by with kindly word,
with hands outheld to help me climb,
The pulses of my life are stirred
with Aspirations song sublime.

And their examples shining star,
.And yet between us all the while
The miats of purple distance are
They pass me by!
They pass me by! they pass me by!
Thank God that some may reach the
crest!
And while they rise TO glory,
Build in the vale my humble nest
God knows no thought OF envy stirs
The heart that cannot with them rise,
And yet-and yet-my heart demurs
And ceaselessly in yearning cries:
They pass me by!'

Unocks the prison house for me,

him quite equal to the occasion, but
nevertheless it was awkward, and he
swore softly under his breath as he
carried Maud's limp form into the little
station house.
The station master brought him
mug with some whisky in it, and he
succeeded in bringing Maud back to
consciousness. She sat up crying and
looking wildly about her. Finding her
dress loosened at her throat she
clutched wildly at her jewels, and find
ing all safe she looked in the faces
of the doctor and the station master.
"Who are you?" she cried. "You are
not the ones who carried me off,
Then she called for Tom repeatedly,
and sobbed out that if she had taken
Teresa's advice she would never have
come to this.
The doctor tried to reassure her, but
she would not be comforted. SO he
sent the station master to find some one
who was willing TO drive them to Toms
camp.
The doctor was far from comfortable.
No doubt this girl knew the Hollands,
but she might be crazy, nevertheless.
Her actions were suspicious enough.
Perhaps Tom Holland would not thank
him for bringing this girl TO the camp.
Two hours later the question was
settled for him. They overlook Tom
driving in and surprised him greatly.
g Lot
ter saying he was coming, and of course
Maud's advent was a surprise.
Explanations passed on both sides,
and Maud's shaken nerves began TO
quiet down. Mrs. Burridge put her to
bed as soon as they reached the camp,
and the doctor sent up dose of bro
mde.
Two days later Miss Teresa Holland
arrived. Her mothers advice had been:
go up to camp and look after Maud
yourself" Teresa found Maud very
well taken care of when she arrived.
She was swinging in Toms hammock,
while Dr. Aldrich read aloud.
The girls stayed two weeks and
brought a new and happy change into
camp, Teresa finding plenty to admire
in old trees and rocks, developed into a
very pleasant companion, and she could
out-tramp any of them.
Maud was good deal changed by her
unhappy experience. She started quick
ly if any unexpected sound was heard,
and she never went out of sight of some
of the campers. This being her condi-
ton, DR.. Aldrich found it necessary to
look after her very carefully.
One night, near the end of their stay,
Maud and the doctor were strolling on
the shore not far from the cabin, and
both were strangely silent. Finally
Maud spoke in low and intense voice:
"Supposing, doctor, you hadn't been
there? Tom would never have heard
me. He wasn't watching the train at
ALL"
1t was the first time he had let her
talk of her fright, for it agitated her.
Il was thinking of another suppose
ton he said. "Supposing you should
- back to Chicago, as you have planned
to do, next month, what a blank you
would leave behind you! Then, again,

there in the fall, and suppose you should
