ing channels. Generally they emerge
from their parent Glaciers with
pretty steep fall and gather heavy
burdens of pebbles and debris from the
moraines-so heavy, indeed, that when
the strength of the current diminishes
the stream cannot carry its load but
drops it. The river bed thus gets chok-
ed up. the current divides The strong
est branches force their way through

masses of gravelly debris, giving rise
to an necessarily changing network

these streams become damned up un-

Tho UntrutbfuI Mummy,

We saw only the outer gordens and
the museum, the chief attraction OF
which is magnificent marble sarco-
phagus decorated with bass-reliefs OF
Alexander the Great. On one side the
conqueror Is represented as routing the
Persians, and on the other side there
is a lively struggle with a wild boar.
The guide book does not certify that
Alexander ever occupied the sarcopha-
gus, but the guide assured me that he
had. The collection OF statues, bronZ-
es and sarcophagi is interesting and
immensely valuable, and | would like
to copy some Of the descriptions from
the guide book, but space forbids.
One Egyptian mummy case had a
Stranger forbear" kind of an inscrip-
ton on It, The guide furnished me
with a liberal translation. The king
on the inside of the case, "swathed in
spicery and fine linen" had caused this
injunction to be placed on the lid of
his sarcophagus:
do not disturb these mortal re-
mains, for there is naught within this
easement except my poor body. There
Is neither gold nor precious jewelry to
reward the covetous."
The antiquarians who unearthed the
sarcophagus did not respect this appeal.
When they examined the mummy
wrapped inside OF the box they found
several pieces OF gold clasped in the
right hand, which proves that an Or
iental will lie even after death.-Egyp-
tian Correspondence to the Chicago

RUSH OF BUSINESS.
Typical Instance of Conditions Very
Generally Prevalent.

The house furnlshers of this city are
having the busiest year Of the past half
decade, and the merchants and their
salespeople are working night and day
to keep pace with the orders. The
wagons rumble through the streets all
day with londs of furniture bedding,
carpets and other things for the house
hold. and the merry sound of the up
holsterer's hammer Is heard all day
long.
The reason for all this rush is easily
explained There are more men en-
ployed than at any time since the IA
nous souphouse tariff bill was promul-
gated at Washington and consequent
ly more money to spend. When hard
times came, the average man found
that it was only by the most rigid econ
omy that he could support his family
and pay his debts. Many men could
not pay their debts even though they
denied themselves all the Injuries and
some things deemed MS necessaries of
life But the families are now being
provided for and there Is some money
to spare, and some of this money Is be-
ing put into furnishings to replace old
goods that had to be used because the
owners could not afford to buy better.
Some homes are receiving complete
rehabilitation, and this has started the
wheels of trade on verltable hum in
some lines of business. AS result of
this state of affairs some merchants
/ who were prone to be skeptical as to
the coming of better conditions are sat
isfied that good times are here.-Ches-

PROJECTIONS WORK.
Results Satisfactory, hut Its Mission
Not Yet Ended.


In these days of prosperity under the
Dingley tariff law we hear very little
from the free traders, but now and
then they trot out their panacea, shake
the bottle vigorously and say that the
remedy should be applied to prevent
the country from getting too prosper
Gus. Just at present they are advocat-
ing the abolition of protective duties on
iron and steel. They are terribly work
ed up over the fact that the Baldwin
Locomotive works have received orders
for locomotives from France, England
and several South American countries
This shows, they argue. that the iron
and steel industries need no protection.
1t is undoubtedly true that Carnegie's
great plant is able to go 1t alone. 1t
has reached such degree. of efficiency
that 1t cannot only meet foreign COM
petition, but can find n market for its
products abroad. The Baldwin Loco
motive works are in much the same sat
isfactory condition. 1t should be re-
membered, however, that there are
other iron and steel plants and other
locomotive works that are not so
wealthy, and TO withdraw the protec-
ton which the tariff now gives them
would mean their Springfield
(Mass.) Union.

L MONARCH lNtcAPTlvITY
How Samory the Dethroned African
King Is Existing.


Some interesting details in regard to
the present condition OF Safnory, the
dethroned African monarch, have Just
been received by the French Minister
OF the Colonies. Samory 10 now at
Hayes, where he occupies o camp,
which Is guarded by a company OF SOL
diers. He has fifteen wives with him.
and sixteen of bis children and several
servants. He spends his time in read
ing the Koran and smoking cigarettes.
To outward seeming Sahory Is calm
and contented, but at heart he Is quite
the reverse. He cannot rid himgelf
of the idea that he will be murdered
some day and whenever one OF his
guards happens to fire a shot he Is con-
fident that his last hour has come. He
brooded so much over his coming doom
that he quite lost his senses recently,
and made determined but futile effort
to commit suicide.
Samory still retains with him few
pieces of his barbaric furniture, but all
his gold and silver treasure, which
mainly consists of gold rings and silver
plates, has been confscated by the
French government and is to be sold.
His silver cuirass, however, a massive
and unique work OF art. will be placed
In the War Museum at Paris. Sam
ory, 1t is said, has grieyed much over
the loss of these treasures, and 1t is
considered doubtful whether his cap
tors. no matter how kindly they may
treat him, will ever be able to reconcile
him to his lot.

Wanted Her Money or Her Teeth

A great crowd collected at st. La
care Station, Paris, one day lately to
see furious dispute between young
girl and an elderly man, during which
the girl kept uttering the cabalistic
words, My money or my three teeth!"
At length the police marched them
off to the nearest police station, and
the girl told her story.
She met man in Montmartre who
SO admired her teeth that he offered
her 90 francs for three of them. The
girl had them pulled. but the treach-
erous monster did not pay.
The man of st. Lazare Station was,
however, not the culprit in question.
1t was a case OF mistaken identity. The
police are now looking for the tooth
thief
