Truths career had reached a crisis, and
he also investigated the scheme.
He arranged matters so that a young
man of his acquaintance was employ
ed by Truth as door tender. This young
man kept a close watch over all that
was going on and promptly reported
all that he learned to the chief. The
climax was reached when the postofice
inspectors department heard from
Washington officials that a fraud or
der would be granted for the suspen-
sion of Mr.. Truths mail. A warrant
was then secured for the mans arrest
on the charge of "devising a scheme
United States mail for the purpose of
defrauding the public"
An arresting party composed of Chief
Watts, Deputy Marshal Waters and
Postofice Inspectors Evans, Swift and
Letherman, C~ongregated at the Revere
house, directly opposite to Truths es-
tablishment, at a time when he was
to receive a wagon load of mail from
the ~postoffice. When the huge bags
Of mail were being carried In at the
front door Deputy Marshal Waters and
Inspector Evans went across to the
Truth place and entered. The in
spector was troubled with rheumatism
and the deputy had to assist him as he
hobbled up the stairs with a pair of
crutches. When they were ushered in
to Truths private Office Mr.. Evans
said:
Il have heard a good deal about you,
doctor and l think that you might help
me-"
Then followed a ~colloquy about the
price and Mr.. Truth said: Il receive 50
a visit, but if the treatment Is given
by letter | charge S. a month"
You want personal treatment,
don't you, Uncle George?" asked Wat
ers.
'Oh yes, | want personal treatment"
was the reply of Mr.. Evans.
1T is a good deal better for you to
have letter treatment, but If you pre-
fer it, you can have personal treat
ment,' replied Mr.. Truth. And so, as
MI. Evans IlSloltu OH II, anu DIS ne
laid down the required 50, the treat
ment" was given.
Truth commenced by rubbing the
legs of Inspector Evans, n he sue
ceeded in causing quite a glow.
After the treatment was all over,
and Truth had specified a time for
Mr.. Evans to return and pay another
So for being cured of his infirmity, the
deputy marshal said to Truth; Now,
let me try the same treatment on
you"
"Oh, I am not sick, and do not need
It," replied Truth.
But just let me try it, and see how
I do it," said Waters.
Perhaps o can do it as we'll as l
can" said Truth, but | do not need
it, and so there is no use in trying
it,"
"Sit down in that chair, and let me
try it," commanded Waters, and as he
spoke he pushed Truth into a chair.
Truth had hardly become seated in
the chair before Waters remarked:
II have a treatment hat will make
you sick" at the same time slipping
a pair of handouts from his pocket
and placing them on Truths wrists.
AS he was being escorted to the Jail
by the chief and deputy, Truth re-
marked that it was rather hard on him
to be arrested when his labors were
just beginning to yield fruit. During
the first year or SO after he COM
menced the healing business he spent
about all his income in advertising.
and his business had just reached a
point where he was receiving an en-
ormous amount of money with COM
paratively small expenditure.

Who're Tommy Got His Name

Every British reader should know
the origin of the sobriquet Tommy
Atkins" Tommy Atkins was the
name of a sentry who, when the Euro
peans in Lucknow were flying for the
residency, from the mutineers, refused
to leave his post, and so persisted.
After that it became the fashion to
speak of a conspicuously heroic soldier
in the fights with the rebels as 90

EGYPT THE LAND OF GRAVES.

Energy of the Whole People Devoted
to Death.
To the Egyptian death was but the
beginning of a career of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions Of this life
were tame. He lived with the fear of
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him Of that
dreadful initiation into the mysteries
Of the tremendous after life for which
his present existence was but prep
aration. His cemeteries were not hid
den away in remote suburbs; his dead
were not covered with mere grassy
mounds or a slab Of stone. The whole
land was his graveyard; its whole art
was of the mortuary. Are there no
graves in Egypt that thou hast brought
us into the wilderness to die?" asked
the Israelites in derisiOn, and we may
believe that Moses WINGED at the sar-
casm.
Egypt Is the land Of graves, and the
whole energy of the people that could
be spared from keeping life together
was devoted to death. The mightiest
tombs in the wOrld-the pyramids
were raised upon the death of multi
tudes Of tOiling slaves. The hills were
honeycombed passages and galleries.

in honor of the illustricus dead, and

the ghost was to pass, or depicting the
industrious life of the departed. The
very temples which cluster along the
levels beside the Nile were in sense
but vestibules to the tombs in the hills
behind. The sacred lake, now the
weedy, picturesque haunt of water
fowl, was then the scene of solemn
ferryings of the dead. The temple
walls were covered with the terrors of
the Judgment to come. The houses OF
the living. indeed, were built of perish

John Hunter, the most famous sur

Such distinguished women of the

oratorios, and a rough draft of them in
her handwriting still exists.
But Hunter, whose mind" as Sir
James Paget says in a recent biogra-

ness was practical surgery, did not al

from Injury by Molten Iron.
By the timely prevention of a strange
law of nature little known save to
scientific men, one of the workmen at
Baldwin's Locomotive works escaped
from what, under ordinary circum-
stances. would have been absolutely
certain death. The puddling-room of
this factory contains large number of
immense caldrons. in which the iron
is melted and purified. The laborer
wheels his barrow containing the ore
up an inclined plane to their open
mouth a height of three feet from the
floor, and then cmpties the barrow
into the caldron.
Joseph COnnor. one of the puddlerS,
was totally unclothed from his waist
upward He had been at work scarcely
five minutes yesterday when one Of his
fellow workmen gave cry which di-
rected the attention of the entire fore e q t
work to the awful situation into which
ConnOr had got himself. Bending over
the molten liquid. his head and chest
completely immersed in it's depths, he
was holding by his hands to the edge
and trying, apparently. to draw back
from the terrible position into which he
had fallen. 1t was at once evident tha t
"~nnor had somehow missed his foot
ing and fallen partially into the boiling
metal.
Fellow workmen at once rushed to
the spot and he was hastily dragged
out. Everyone expected to find his face
and chest a hideously charred mass and
some of the men had already turned
away their eyes rather than gaze on tn
terrible sight they expected would be
presented. But to the amazement of
| his rescuers, save for the loss Of his
hair Connor was absolutely uninjured.
Not a Disagreement, not a burn. not
even a blister was to be seen. The
workmen were badly scared by the
seeming marvel. Later the pudding
manager explained the matter
10 the men. A combustible body may
be preserved from ignition when in
contact with a source Of heat by being
surrounded by an atmosphere of vapor.
In the case of COnnor the man had be-
gun to perspire and on contact with the
molten metal this perspiration formed
gaseous covering that protected his
skin. His hair. of course, was not SO
shielded and suffered in consequence
but with this exception he was uninjur.
