Unlike good wine, princesses of ancient
Egyptian lineage DO not appear to increase

experience of one of the daughters of
Rameses II, when she was offered at auc-
ton by Mr.. j. C. Stevens at his well-known
rooms, King street. Covent Garden. Per-
haps this was because she was unable to

more about her, in some respects than she
had ever known herself; for the X-rays
Of modern science had been brought to bear

to have had a good many children, but
that would scarcely account for the fact
that daughter Of his, who stole mems

should have fetched only ten guineas And
she was remarkably well preserved, too.

BLOOD POISONING.
Alleged Cause of the Late Senator
Davis MaIndy Very Rare.


Davis Malady Very Rare.
From the New York Herald.
The death of United States Senator Davis
is reported to have been due to blood poi
soning caused by wearing co,ored hose AL
though no one unacquainted with all the
minute details of the case can positively
deny the conclusion arrived at by the ply
sicians in attendance, it is fair to assume
that the result is at least a very unusual
one.
On general principles there is more appar-
ent FEASIBILITY about the statement than
scientific accuracy.
While 1t Is a matter Of common obserya-
ton that certain dyed woollen and cotton
fabrics are very liable to produce skin erup-
lions it is difficult to understand how gen.
eral blood poisoning, which is always caused
by septic organic material entering the
circulation, could be induced solely by
mineral pigments. 1t does not seem at a |
improbable that in addition to the original
lesion there was subsequent and indepen-
dent infection by animal poison acting
on exposed and abraded surfaces.
That every open wound does not become
attacked in this way Is clearly explained
by the different degrees Of individual re-
captivity. There Is a peculiar predisposi-
ton to this form Of poisoning in some per-
sons which does not exist In others. In the
former instance the slightest amount of in
lection will produce the gravest results,
while in others the most severe poisoning
will spend it's force on distinctly localized
inflammation.
When a disastrous incubation occurs
from any external and accidental source
the peculiar producing microbes
multiply. and. by involving the vital organs,
particularly the lungs, liver and kidneys
"a general exhaustion which almost invari-
ably ends in death.

DEBIT AND CREDIT,

1t is freely conceded that the total of
the pension roll represents magnificent
sum, but it must be remembered that mag
nIhcent achievements stand to the credit
of the men and women who annually re-
ceiye it-wnn at a cost not to be stated
approximately in cold figures or fearful
and specious pleas for economy in the pub
lie service. The Grand Army, in its in
sistence upon fair treatment for the vet
Grams who won the battles of the war Of
the rebellion and made possible the might
lest world power in all history, does not
shrink from comparison of pertinent
facts. If comparisons are to be institut-
ed between the pension rolls of the United
States and the monarchies Of Europe, the
statistician who enters this field should
not hesitate to recite the whole story. If
to him it seems fitting that the integrity
and patriotism of the recipients of the Ma.
tiOn's bounty are to be called in question,
he is fairly bound to deal only in candid
statement and not in thinly-veiled innu-
endo. Why the comparison? Are the ele-
mental conditions analogous? Shall the
standards of Europe be set up in this
country and by them determine the proper
measure of gratitude to the citizen-soldier,
fix the bounds of fealty to the Constitu-
ton and the Flag, and estimate the value
of the services Of the American volunteer
in war and in peace? The time has not yet
arrived when the aid of the schoolmasters
Of kingdoms and empires may be invoked
safely to instruct Americans in the dis
charge of obligations to the defenders of
the Republic. The Grand Army still be-
lieves that the pension roll Is a roll Of
honor, and 1t stands pledged to keep it a
roll Of honor. Repeated calls for specifi-
cations as to fraud and not unsupported
allegations ought to attest our sincerity
and be accepted as an earnest Of our good
intent The people Of our Republic are
accustomed to colossal statements, and
they fix the beginning Of the new epoch
back in the days when a mighty problem
of surprising interest was forever solved
that this Government, founded by the IA
thers, should continue among the Ma
tions of the earth. Woven into the warp
Of the web of history, to each of us the
most sacred is the woof of sacrifices at the
recital of which the eye grows dim. We
rest content in the record we then made,
and we know that the crowding millions
who enjoy the rich heritage won for them
cannot and will not willingly permit the
defenders of the Republic to suffer in pub
lie esteem. We give emphatic expression to
wonder and delight at the splendid march
which marks the unmatched progress Of
our beloved land. With our faces turned
to the West, as we come to these annual
milestones in the shortening span, we gath
er fresh inspiration in the knowledge
that the old soldier is still potent factor
for good. We may defend the good names
