Egyptian BuriaIs.

It 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 we'll known Egyp- tologist, has by recent excavations thrown quite a new light upon this question of the ancient method of dis posing of the dead. At Deshasheh, a place about 50 miles south of Cairo, he has discovered a 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 withstanding their 5000 years burial in the sand. It remains to be proved by further excavations whether the mutila tion 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- ple.-Chambers' Journal.

COMMISSIONS GENERAL NOTICE
Concerns Using the Term "Shlpp1ng
polnt''-An Error is Corrected.

The commission has issued the fol-
lowing important notice ard ruling: -.
1t having come to the knowledge OF
the railroad commission Of Texas that
erroneous constructions have been
placed upon the compress rules and
resolutions of commodities tariff No.
I'D, whereby it is construed that the
term 'original shipping point" as used
in paragraph one OF the fourth rule
should not be construed to mean the
town or city in which the compress is
situated, but that they should be known
to mean the depot or some point sltua-
ted Immediately upon the tracks OF
the railroad company to which cotton
if rendered for shipment. This narrow
construction, if followed to It's Logical
conclusion, would require all cotton
compressed or concentrated in town
or city where there are two or more
congresses in operation, to be deliver
ed to the compress nearest to the
freight depot of the road hauling the
cotton.
The commission rules that the terms
.'shipping point" and ''original ship.
ping point as used in section OF
derstood to mean the town, city or sta
ton from which cotton is originally
transported by railroad company. 1t
follows therefore:
1. That when an accessible COM
press is in operation in the town, city
or station at which cotton originates,
the company must compress at such
town, city or station in all cases and 1t
is required to be delivered In COM
pressed condition at final destination In
Texas.
2, That when cotton originating at
. town, city or station at which q COM
press is in operation can not under the
rules set forth in section OF commodi-
ty tariff No. I'D, be hauled in In un-
compressed condition from town, city
or station for the purpose OF compress
sion or concentration at some other
point en- route to destination.

Famous Doq Dead

Although Leo, the dog belonging to
the Women and Children's hospital,
Cork, was Irish his fame was almost
as great in En- gland as in his own coun-
try, and his death will be regretted by
those of both nations who are inter-
ested in benevolent movements.
His history will bear comparison
with that of any dog of public fame.
OF dignified demeanor, he was always
to be seen on the streets, with his AL.
pine barrel slung round his neck, bent
on errands of mercy as important as
those of the great monastery dogs. He
gathered over $4,000 for the hospital.
Leo won the proud distinction OF
carrying off the cup offered by the
Prince OF Wales to the dog who col
looted the largest amount for a hospi-
tai, and he was also known to the
Princess of Wales, who frequently
petted him. He is succeeded in his
benevolent exertions by his eldest son,
