THE LAND OF GRAVES.
Egyptians Relieved In Con.

Ancient Egyptians Relieved In Con.
stant Reminders of Death.
To tn, Egyptian death was but the
beginning Of a career of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions Of this life
We're tame. He 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 vas but q
preparation. His cemeteries were not
hidden away in remote suburbs; his
dead were not covered with mere
grassy mounds or a slab of stone. The
whole land was his graveyard; it's
whole art was Of the mortuary. Are
there no graves in Egypt that thou
has brought us into the wilderness to
die" asked the Israelites in derision,
and we may believe that Moses vino
ed at the
Egypt is the land Of graves, and the
whole energy of the people, that could
be spared from keeping life together,
was devoted to death. The mightiest
tombs in the w%orld-the pyramids
were raised upon the deaths of multi
tudes Of toiling slaves. The hills were
honeycombed passages and galleries,
chambers, pits, all painfully excavated
in honor Of the illustrious dead. and
s%culptured and painted with elaborate
skill to make them fit habitations for
his ghost.
Wherever he looked the Egyptian
beheld preparations for the great turn
ing point Of existence. The mason
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 IA, 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 Genes 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 a
sense, but vestibules to the tombs In
the hills behind. The sacred lake, now
the weedy, picturesque haunt Of water
fowl, was then the scene Of solemn
ferryings 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-
ishing mud. but the homes of the dead
and the shrines where supplication
was made to the gods who ruled their
fate were made to last forever. On
these all the strength. the science and
the artistic skill of the ancient Egyp-
tians were cheerfully lavished.-Sat-

Too Hot to

A well known Mississippi farmer
will have cause tt remember his recent
visit to Memphis. He stopped in q well
known cafe, and among other things
ordered a sirloin steak. A bottle Of ia
basco sauce was on the table, and mis-
taking 1t for catchup he spread it quite
lavishly on the steak and settled down
to enjoy the meal. He cut Off q big
piece, but no sooner had it struck his
mouth than he began to feel like his
tongue was on fire. He twisted and
turned. and soon had the eyes Of every
one in the dining hall fastened on him.
The more he twisted and screwed his
face the hotter the steak in his mouth
got. He didn't know what was the
matter. He could stand 1t no longer
and reaching up his hand he jerked out
the burning bite, threw it on the floor
and in a very dramatic way exclaimed,
"Now, hang you, blaze"-Memphis

THE EXPERT
One Of His Accomplishments thu
Ability t. Cut on the Right Weight.

One Of His Accomplishments the
Ability to Cut on the Right Weight.
1t is his business, Of course, and he
becomes expert at it, as any man
might in any work, but the customer
who pays any attention to it at all is
sure to be interested nevertheless in
the accuracy with which the butcher
cuts off just the required amount Of
meat. Whether it 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 it does not weigh more
than a quarter or a 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 it right on the nail.
A man, for instance, goes into q
butcher shop and asks for three and q
half or four pounds of, say, corned
beef. The butcher gets a big piece
out Of the pickle, lays 1t on a block
and picks up a knife, and, without the
slightest hesitation, with one strong,
smooth sweep cuts off a 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 as a wizard.-New York

Silver City, Oct. 11.-Arthur Buckbee,
manager of the Sunbeam, is on the
ground ready to receive the transfer of
the WoOdmansee leasers whose term
expires tomorrow CThursday) The

ore bins and houses sufficiently large
to meet the increased requirements of
the output from both shafts-and sink
ing in the Woodmansee shaft to the 400
and $50 level viii now go forward I'M
interruptedly. Mr.. Buckbee is inclined
TO be reticent concerning the conditions
that win prevail after the company has
the entire ground and all of the advan-
tage that go with it. but it is plain TO
be seen from his conversation that he
firmly expects his company to pay
small but regular dividends after No
vember at which time the final pay
ment of $500 will be made on the
newly-acquired territory embracing the
West Sunbeam and others. 1t is pretty
generally known that provision has
been made for that expense.
The recent strike of good ore on the
$50 level under the old tunnel workings
in the Silver Park, gives promise of
being more than Of average Importance.
The ore seam continues to widen and
Manager Towle is storing it in the new

writer learned from a generally re-
garded good source that at last nights

of good ore had been encountered.

sidered an indication of the close prox-
unity to the ledge that they have been
looking for so long. The rock is in a
mineralized condition and has the ap
pearance of wall rock, and all the in
dications go to show the probability of
their opening up a paying mine shortly.
