THURSDAY. MAR. - 1900
FLOWERS OF EGYPT.
Fifty Centuries Have Made No Difef
ence in Form OF Color.

ence in Form OF Color.
Most interesting is the fact in con-
necction with the vast collection of
plants and flowers taken from ancient
Egyptian tombs by u Frenchman
known as Mariette BCy that exactly
similar plants are still to be found
growing in the valley Of the Nile.
The closest examination fails to re-
veal the slightest difference between
the plants that ilourishcd 80 ccntu-
rics ago and those which the traveller
secs to-day; exactly such flowers as
the boy Moses and the children ofJo-
seph picked still bloom unchanged,
even in color.
There are to be seen in the bey's
collection blue sprays Of larkspur
which loving hands laid upon the
bodies Of those who died thousand
years before Abraham and Sarah went
down into Egypt.
In the tombs of later date have been
found, together with hollyhocks and
chrysanthcmums, the various fruits,
vegetables and grain for which the
land has ever been renowned, as figs,
dates, olives, grapes, pomcgranates,
onions, beans, barley and wheat.
Around the rccks and upon the
breasts of those who died at the time
Solomon rcigncd in Jerusalem, abou!
1000 b. c., were found garlands OF
celery, which does not appear to have
been used at that time as vegetable
by the Egyptians.
All these plants, when they were
prepared for the funeral ceremonies,
were subjected to great heat, by which
their form and color were preserved.
Stories arc told Of wheat having been
raised from these ancient grains, but
it stands to reason that the immense
and protracted heat completely de-
stroyed their terminating power.
The INSCRIPTIONS natives have sold
TO the travellers ancient wheat in
which modern grains have been
mixed, but only the modern grains
can germinate.-N. Y. Herald.

Pauperism In London.

The very latest statistics on Lon
don pauperism are not encouraging,
A review Of the last II months shows
that, although for four successive
years the British metropolis has cx-
pcricnccd good trade and open win
tiers, there was no great dimunition
in the plumber seeking relief under
the poor law. On the other hand, for
the first fourmonths, the mass Of pau.
perism was greater than i, was lorthe
same period Of 1898, and stood at a
higher figure than in more than half
the previous AZ years during which 4
record has been kept.
