Frail Historians of sevres.

Only 2Ih miles southwest Of Paris,
Sevres is well known to tourists. Beau
tiful porcelain has been manufactured
here since 1855, the royalties and re-
publics which followed each other TAX
ing pains to have each period stamped
on the back of every piece made. Ini-
tails of kings, the date and often the
palace for which the service was de-
signed were placed plainly on the plate.
Thus in this silent but most eloquent
way these frail historians indicate the
changeful, brilliant story of their ma
tive land

The Arabs Little Game.

In The Agricultural Journal Of the
Cape of Good Hope appears an article
on the vitality of wheat from Egyptian
mummy cases. 1t is often asserted that
samples of wheat from the same crop
as that which Joseph, stored in Pha-
raoh's granaries has been taken from
mummy wrappings and, when planted,
has grown. This is very likely erro-
neous, as the Arabs have a habit Of
selling to tourists samples Of grain
which have in all likelihood come from
the nearest field instead Of from the
ancient tombs. Indeed in many in
stances this mummy grain" has been
corn, and, as corn was not known until
it was brought from America, the
fraud is apparent.

WHITLEY GOT EVEN.
He Was Subsequently Sentenced to
Long Term in Jail.

Charles Whitley, colored, recently fin
ished serving month in Jail and evidently
liked the treatment given him there so well
that he violated the law soon after his re-
lease. Now he will spend five months in
prison. The month that he served was
during the cold weather when the snow on
the ground would have made it disag reea-
BILE for him. Now that he has got to spend
the summer months behind the bars he is
not SO happy.
Whitley was in Jail last month because of
an assault on Emma Thurston. When he
was released he declared he would get
even with the woman for having had him
arrested. He Went to her house during her
absence, broke open the door and took some
of Emmas clothes. Leaving the house
he destroyed the garments and threw
the pieces in the mud. Judge KimbalI. in
imposing sentence for this offense today
said he could imagine no more contempti-
BILE piece of stealing. A sentence of four
months absolute and an additional month
in default of restitution was imposed.

Permit me to supplement your forcible
and well-deserved condemnation of the &C.
ton Of the Emergency Hospital officials in
the case of Coulson by recalling to your
recollection case of almost equally fla
grant cupidity and neglect which occurred
some time ago.
One Sunday at noon a gentleman who had
been for years clerk of a Senate committee
and private secretary of one Of the most
distinguished senators, and who was at the
time OF this occurrence an official of the
State Department. returning home from
church, stepped off Pennsylvania avenue
car and was knocked down and rendered
senSeleSS by car running in opposite
direction. He was taken to the Emergency
Hospital, and was there found to be suffer-
ing from severe conclusion of the brain,
and was, of course, unable to give his name
and address. But in the Episcopal prayer
book in his pocket his full name was found
and was recorded upon the hospital books.
There were also letters in his pocket which
gave information as to his official position.
All that night his anxious wife sat up for
him Che had never previously absented him.
self from home without giving her notice.;
all that night the poor fellow tossed in de-
l1rium. At noon the next day the almost
distracted lady caught sight of an obscure

with his friends. H. C. c.
