A Model Henhouse.

when we moved to our present
home" said the man who was telling
the story, Eve found no place to keep
the few hens that we have. AS fresh
eggs are something that the entire
household insists upon, resolved to
build a small chickenhouse that would
be a model of its kind.
But I found it no easy matter to plan
house that would not take up much
room, and at the same time be unobjec-
tionable TO the neighbors.
II puzzled over the situation for some
time, and the day my wife left for
short visit to her sister, I was about to
give it up when 1 CHANGED to see a
scrap of paper that my wife had left
lying on the dining-room table.
"Absently picking it up to draw few
more plans upon, I noticed that it was
already covered with some sort Of de-
sign Looking it over, 1 was thunder
struck to see that my wife had solved
the problem that / had worked so long
upon.
Never for moment had I suspected
that my wife possessed any talent in
that direction, but there it was before
me in black and white, with it's run
ways and laying boxes, its roosts and
busting pans, a perfect model of it's
kind
Il hired a carpenter, and we went to
work to construct the house along the
lines that my wife had drawn out with
so much care We were puzzled lit
tie over the meaning of some of the
lines, but we managed to follow the plan
was honestly proud of it.
when my wife returned home I took
her out and showed it to her, and con-
graduated her upon her success. She
asked me what 1 meant, and I showed
her the plans that we had used.
Goodness she gasped, that isn't
a plan of q, henhouse, it's the plan of

so-called dirty work." Gut were soon
ousted by young bloods, who declared
themselves ready to accept any kind
of subordinate place and to perform
any amount of labor which until then
had been regarded as unclean.
1t seemed as interesting as it was
amusing to act in the capacity of de-
tective, and to travel on secret missions
to Paris and Vienna at the expense of
the association. and with the feeling
that one was performing patriotic
service and was considered in the light
of personal protector of the Car. OF
course. the official police looked upon
the concern with anything but friendly
eyes, the only member thereof who
showed sympathy with the holy band
being the late General Tcherevine who
closely identified himself with the
movement. seeing therein a prospect of
alliance with the aristocracy and high
est society in the land.
The beginning gave promise, and for
a time the holy band was looked upon
in Muscovite society, at any rate, and
at court-aS the salvation of Russia,
and as having given the death blow to
the dragon Of anarchy. AS long as it's
members worked in unison with the
State police and co-operated with the
latter, of course they could not do much
harm. The achievement of few minor
successes, which had the effect of still
further increasing the jealousy and ILL
will of the regular State police, encour-
aged the holy band to cut itself adrift
from the latter and, on the grounds of
Its disloyalty and unfriendliness, to
work independently and even against
1t. In fact, before long the State police
and the holy band were not only in
secret, but also in open conflict with
each other. This resulted in the most
grotesque scenes, that were the talk
OF the town. 1t sometimes happened
that the agents of the holy band and
their myrmidons arrested whole sec
lions Of the State secret police, while
at other. times the reverse happened.
At length the late Car came to the
conclusion that the holy band was a
source of danger and of ridicule rather
than one of safety, that it's members
looked upon their vocation either as a
means of enriching themselves or as an
opportunity for indulging in adventures
which brought neither advantage nor
honor to the country, and so he deter
mined quietly to dispense with it's ser
vices, and to be satisfied with the pro-
lection afforded by the regularly con-
stituted police. That was the end of
the holy band.
1t is to be feared that the revival of
the holy band, or the creation of any
analogous organization, either in Rus
sis or elsewhere, for combating an
n ,;1
much the same kind of fiasco. If an
archy is to be fought with success it
will be necessary to resort to other
means than this. But at the same time
it must be borne in mind that the ex-
listing police, in the Old World at any
rate, have demonstrated their utter IN
capacity to deal with these foes of So
ciety. Some new means of defense will,
therefore, have to be devised by the
civilized Powers when they meet in con-
ference on the subject some weeks

small measure for the astounding pro-
gress and development in modern
and Western sense Of the Land OF the
Rising Sun. Indeed, If Japan Is to-
day almost in the front rank of civil

This, I think, will suffice to demon
strate that woman plays in the Orient
far more weighty and predominant
role than people in America have inn
agined; that the contempt which has
hitherto been protested in Western
countries for the intellectual capacity
of the inmates of the harem is based
on ignorance, and altogether unmer-
tied, and, lastly, that there is no more

A Recent Egyptian Discovery.

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 Egypt
o|ogist, has, by recent excavations,
thrown quite a new light upon this
question of the ancient method of dis
posing of the dead. At Deshasher, a
place about fifty miles south of Cairo.
he has discovered series of tombs, in
the collins Of which he has found COM
plete 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 preserva-
ton, Notwithstanding their 5000 years
burial in the said. 1t remains to be
proven by further excavations whether
the mutilation of the bodies was per-
formed as ceremonial rite, or whether
this removal of flesh from the bones
points to cannibalism on the part of
the ancient people.-Chamber's Journal.

AN EX-SLAVE GIRLS POWER

thirty years the Dowager Empress of
China has exercised sovereign sway at

edged skill and worldwide fame as
Prince Kung. the late Marquis Tseng.
and old Ii Hung Chang. Sarting life
as a mere slave girl, with nothing in
the form of family prestige or infiu
ence or even of extraordinary beauty
to assist her, she has managed by dint
of tenacity of purpose and statecraft
to secure and retain supreme power
over an empire of four hundred million
of human beings, and on her birthday
the other day the court of Picking was
treated to the altogether unprecedented
and astounding spectacle Of the EN-
peror himself performing the act Of
kotow, or establishment, before the
ex-slave girl, who is not even his
mother. but merely a deputy wife of

the Empress of Japan is childless, and
whatever children the Mikado has are

because in the Orient childlessness is

of women, and the mere fact that the

speaks volumes for their cleverness.
