had just one hour in which to get his

where he had to interpelIate the gov

said, "How many more patients are
there waiting?"
"Six," replied the man.
One after the other had his case dag
nosed, and Clemenceau, after another
glance at his watch, said, "Tell the
other two to undress at once, as l have
only two more minutes to wait" One

Egxptian nuIrtIaDci..


It has hitherto been supposed that ip
Egypt the practice of embalming tn
bodies of the dead and forming them
into mummies was the most ancient
method of sculpture, but Professor
Flinders Petrie, the well known Egyp-
tologist, has by recent excavations
thrown quite new light upon this
question of the ancient method of dis
posing of the dead At Deshasheh,
place about so miles south of Cairo, he
has discovered a series of tombs in the
coffins 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-
ton of the bodies was performed as
ceremonial rite or whether this removal
of flesh from the bones points to canni-
balism on the part of the ancient peo-
pie Chambers Journal

ed the box. Goods were being sold pri-
vately to those VINO desired to buy. A
well dressed woman was examining a
bit of jewelry.
"What is the price of thisP'' she
asked.
"That will cost you "a. madam, " re-
piled the salesman.
Cant you shade that figure bit 2"

But I'll tell you what I'll do-if you
will wait few moments the auction
sale will be started, and I'll place the
article under the hammer You may
then be able to buy it in for almost
nothing"
The woman said she would wait
Ten minutes later on the auctioneer
began the sale There were some half
dozen people in the store. The bit of
jewelry in question was placed on the
counter and bids invited. Some one Of
fered so cents, then 81 was bid, SO
followed and then &c. This last bid
was made by the woman who had sought
to buy the bit of jewelry before the sale
A gentleman came in, looked at the ar
ticle and calmly said: 81 like that. I'll
give you 3d." The woman quickly
shouted Give dollarsl'' Then the bid
ding ceased and the bit of jewelry was
turned over to the last and best bidder

SNOWFALL showers.

More than one explorer in cold eli
mates has noted the curious phenome-
non of SNOWFALL shower. The balls
it is true, are not very big, the average
being about the size of hens egg, but
they are true snowballs for all that,
compressed globes of snow. not little
Jumps of ice or hail
A fall of the kind occurred in north
London in March, 1859, and at the time
it was observed that the balls seemed five
times as dense and compressed as ordi-
nary snow and in no way to be told
from the usual handmade missiles
They had fallen during the night and
were strewn many layers thick over a
very large area.
No cause except doubtful electric
al one-can be ascribed for the strange
phenomenon, and mountaineers are apt
to discredit the stories of snowfall
showers told them by the old guides till
suddenly in the midst of an ordinary
storm they find themselves assailed as
though by myriads of mischievous
schoolboys London Standard.

not apprised of the Intention OF the
governor to hold an inquiry. Such
method is irregular and calculated to
prejudice my case No adverse evil
dence should be taken without giving
me an opportunity to refute it. Fur
Their, the detention Of my ship is seri-
GUS loss to my owners, who will have no
redress if even later on my innocence is
proved. and my commission in the East
India company's service makes me an
swerable to them for any improper con-
duct. Anyhow, according to British
Jurisprudence, you ought to hold me
innocent until you can prove the con-
trary. Yet you seize my ship"
King CURLY answered that an East
India company's commission did not
authorize people to seize the vessels Of
friendly powers; that there was no evil
dence of war existing between England
and Spain, and even If war did exist,
since the Harrington had no proper let
ter of marque, the prizes must become
droit of admiralty.

the latter was acting conscientiously.
So when Campbell offered substantial
security and some leading Sydney mer-
chants backed him with money Cover
nor King consented to the Harrington's
cargo being discharged and to her cap
tain proceeding on his voyage to Mad
ras. But, alas for Campbell, just as the
affair was on the point Of being settled
in this way the San Francisco San
Paulo and Estremina were discovered
lowering about the coast of New South
Wales. apparently waiting for Camp
bell The two ships were at once cap
tured by the government brig and
brought into Port jackson.
Naturally King lost his temper, and
again placed Campbell under detention.
Meanwhile dispatches had gone home,
and all parties resigned themselves for
the long, weary wait that was to follow
before an answering dispatch came from
the home government.
At last, however, it came, in the
early months of 1905, when Viscount
Castlereagh wrote, telling King to in
stantly release Campbell, the ship and
crew and the prize crews of the two
Spanish vessels, which could be sold as
lawful prizes This snub for the good
hearted and conscientious governor was
softened by the profoundly wise OBJ
servation that "the spirit and principle

Within the green cathedral aisles
The winds are whispering 'mong tn
leaves,
And natures face is wreathed In smiles.
The sunlight in mosaic weaves
A gorgeous pattern meath our feet,
And summer days are fair and sweet.
No pride or pomp in Mammon's piles
Can match these old cathedral aisles.
The birds are chanting songs of praise,
And music murmurs in the trees,
For in these quiet woodland ways
The choristers are birds and bees;
The flowers with incense fill the air,
And NATURES priests her vestments wear.
In forest, free from human guiles,
Are rear'd these grand cathedral aisles.
The city teens with restless life,
And tapering steeples bear the cross
A symbol of the Christians strife
Through all the years of gain and loss.
So ever upward point the trees
And wave their plumes in every breeze,
To lure the wanderer miles and miles
Within the green cathedral aisles.

There was an exhibition Of binding a cap
tive to the stake and making ready to roast
him, the braves dancing meanwhile and
brandishing their weapons. Then the Sioux
came creeping up by ones and twos, gliding
along the ground and taking advantage of
the slightest cover. The war-bonnets; the
carbines raised to the shoulder; the stealthy
tread; the rush; the whoops; and the din
of the iring-all seemed in deadly earnest.
Now and then an Indian would keel over
as If shot; not to fall easily, as a white man
might in like play, but heavily, as IL the life
had gone out Of him; and perhaps some
enemy would stoop over him and pretend to
Gift bis hair" Each man fought for him
self and as the two foes came near to each
other they motioned with their carbines
after the manner of boxers-sparring with
would fire and perhaps one drop. Backward
and forward across the grounds the bowling,
shooting mob rushed and was driven--some-
times SO near the seats that children cried
and women stopped their ears, while grains
Of powder OF dirt struck the faces OF the
spectators.
When the fight was over, the squaws
came with clubs and apparently did for those
whom the bullets had not quite finished. And
then they all walked away to their lodges
friends and foes laughing together; and
the crowd swarmed over the ropes to pick
up c~artridge-shells as relics.
