new era in wall coatings, and from the

most important discovery. 1t has prac-
tically driven all kalsomines from the mar

civilized world. The name "kalsomine"
has become so offensive to property owners
that manufacturers of cheap kalsomine
preparations are now calling them by some
other name, and attic npting to sell on the
Alabastine Company's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and per-
sonal use, the merits of Alabastine are 50
thoroughly known that the people insist
on getting these goods and will take no
chance of spelling their walls fora possible
saving of at the most but a few cents.
Thus it is again demonstrated that merit
wins and that manufacturers of first-cass
articles will be supported by the people.

Man Of Mature Years Sees .
Strangely Familiar Face In Mirror.
"Here said man of mature years,
twas an experience that fancy others
have had. You know we don't realize
the change in our own appearance as
the years go by. We feel young, all
right, and imagine that we look so, and
never realize that we don't. But COM
ing down from an upper story of tall
building in an elevator the other day
snd thinking of something else I hap
pened to see face in a mirror in the
side of the car.
''It had a curious interest for me
somehow. 1t was the face of a man of
middle age, tolerably well preserved,
but with hair pretty gray and with
marks at the outer corners of his eyes
showing where the crow had stepped
on him-lightly, to be sure, but the
marks Of crows feet nevertheless, the
face Of man Of years. But, old and
gray, the most curious and fascinating
thing about it was its striking resem-
blance to my own. This was almost
startling, but moment later, when as

own head reproduced with correspond

Egyptian Burinls.

It has hitherto been supposed that III
Egypt the practice of embalming the
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, a
place about so miles south Of Cairo, ne
has discovered 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 coffins are of admirable
workmanship, are made Of sycamore
and are in perfect preservation not
withstanding their 5000 years burial
in the sand. 1t remains to be proved by
further excavations whether the mutila-
ton 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-

A curious custom prevails among the
lowest classes of southern India for OBJ
tanning rain in times of drought A
gigantic figure of woman is stretched
to its full length on its back on an open,
very low four wheeled carriage, and the
carriage is dragged round the streets,
the Indian peasantry accompanying it
with the deafening noise of their tom
toms, drums and bugles. The custom is
explained by the popular notion that
the figure on the cart represents the
wife of Varuna. the god of rain, and
that when he sees his favorite wife
dragged ruthlessly along the streets he
sends down torrents of rain to wreak
his vengeance.

Polly at the Phone.


One West Madison street druggist lost a
customer on Monday through his fondness
for pets He has a large green parrot and
the cage is hung near the telephone, with
the result that Polly has become quite pro-
ficient in Telephone talk and furnishes
much amusement to the customers who
have the time to stop and listen.
On Monday a stylishly dressed young
lady came rustling into the store and asked
permission to use the phone. The druggist
pointed to the rear of the store and she
started In that direction. The store was
rather dark, and when she heard some one
apparently talking into the receiver she
seated herself on chair to wait.
Hello, central-hello, hello-yes, give me

Is that? Oh, yes; what, yes: hello. l say;

natives are quite ignorant of the process
of quartz mining. They do work some of
the richer veins in crude fashion, break
ing the rocks with hammers or grinding
them under heavy stone rollers. turned by
buffaloes. The crushed rock is then washed
in their usual primitive manner. They
lack explosives, and no blasting is done.
They possess no quicksilver and know moth
ing of the art of amalgamation. The idea
or pumping out the shafts has not pene-
trated their minds, and the water is bailed
out with small buckets, made of palm leaf
and holding about two gallons. These are
passed by lines of workmen from hand to
hand. This. the time-honored method, is
quite satisfactory to them, though 1t would
be intolerably tedious to miner of Anglo
Saxon blood. And even this crude method
of working is not pursued with systematic
diligence. The Filipino has no fancy for
steady labor. He works in the mines in
the intervals of his labor in the fields,
when he happens to need a few dollars to
gamble away in the cockpit. AS for laying
up treasure for the future, the idea is I'M
known to him. There lies the gold; there
it has always been and always will be.
Why need he trouble himself to gather
more than the hour calls for? He can al
ways turn his hands to it when other re-
sources fail. Yet even with this indolent
and wasteful way of working thousands of
ounces of the precious metal have been
gained.
