lazy man. On N point, however

lagos of late or early rising-it has
Tome forward to vindicate him. The
toice of the sluggard-"you have
TAXED me too soon, I must slumber
Igain"-is also the voice of the British
IIedical Journal, which takes the OPP
theory that "early to bed, and early
10 rise makes a man healthy" what
ever it may do for his understanding
Dr. his pocket. Medical science today
declares that if a man is healthy he
foes not for choice get up early, the
result of 1.-The hardening of the arteries
and the less ready action of the vase
motor system" 1t is a disease of old
men, and apparently also of worn out
nations, for China is quoted as a shock
ing example of the people who show
their hardened arteries and sluggish
vasomotor systems by a vicious habit
Of early rising. The .Rennes court
martial, too, began it's sittings at $3.50
In the morning. Every lazy person
will no doubt take these warnings to
heart, and show by example the pre-
cept how necessary is an unfinching
End wen stern cultivation of habits
of decently late rising if England is

TONES BUILT TO LAST.
Energy of the Egyptians Was Devoted
to Death.

Energy of the Egyptians Was Devoted
to Death.
To the Egyptian death was but the
beginning of a career of adventures
and exp Tiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions of this life
were tame. He lived with the fear Of
death hefore 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 a prep
aration. His cemeteries were not hid
den away in remote suburbs; his dead
were lot covered with mere grassy
mounds, or a slab or 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-
easm. Egypt is the land of graves, and
the whole energy of the people that
could be spared from keeping life to-
gether was devoted to death. The
mightiest tombs in the wOrld-the
pyramids-were raised upon the deaths
of multitudes of toiling slaves. The
hills were ~honeycombed passages and
galleries, chambers, pits; all painfully
excavated in honor of the illustrious
dead, and sculptured and painted with
elaborate skill to make them fit habi-
tations for his ghost. Wherever he
looked the Egyptian beheld prepara-
tions for the great turning point or
existence. The mason was squaring
blocks for the tomb chamber; the pot
ter nodded images of the gods or bowls
or jars, to be placed in the grave for
the protection or refreshment of the
ka, exhausted with the ordeals OF the
under world; the sculptor and painter
were at work upon the walls of the
funeral chamber, illustrating the
scenes through which 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 the hills behind. The
sacred lake, now the weedy, pictur-
esoue hunt of waterfowl, 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
J built of perishing mud, but the homes
of the dead made to the gods who ruled
their fate were made to last forever
, On these all the strength, the science
and the artistic skill of the ancient
Egyptians were ~cheerfully lavished.-

A Close Call,

There were a pair of colored white
washers standing on the street corner
and talking about hard times, when a
white man stepped up, bent over and
felt around their heels, and presently
rose up with three $40 gold pieces in
mis- hand. 81 dropped 'em here an hour
or so ago." he explained, as he jingled
them under their chins and walked off.
The two men looked at each other for
a long time and then one observed:
'Rastus, DER hain't no luck in dis
world fur US, fur shore. We was walk
in right on dat gold and didn't know
it," Reckon it's de doins of de Lawd,"
humbly replied the other. "If we'd
abound dat money we'd bin so stuck UP
ober it dat de Lawd would hev had to
send de cholera around to take de van
ity out OBJ us. 1t was a cluss call, Brud-

In the course of a public discussion
on women's dress at Berlin the other
day Prof. Rubner condemned the long
skirt as a frequent aus of accidents
and as a promoter of neuralgia pains,
which were brought IN by constantly
holding up the dress. Prof. Brock
mueller, the artist, while not denying
the gracefulness in general of trains,
pointed out that in any quick move
ment the effect was the reverse of
graceful and recommended short
dresses, especially at dances. Nine.
Seller advocated the short skirts be-
cause it was unworthy of women to
yield to a fashion which made the
wearer a slave to her garments, and
because the short skirts made those
who wore them look younger. In the
end the meeting resolved by a large
majority that long walking dresses are
irreconciliable with the modern ac-
quirements of hygiene, liberty of move
ment and beauty. = London Daily

from Mrs. S. A. Brigham, Late
of Mason City.
The following extracts from an in
teresting letter to the Mason City (Ia.)
Republican, written by Mrs. s. A.
Brigham, late of that place, but now OF
Ross Creek, Alberta, Canada, SO near
ly describe most of the districts of
Western Canada that we take pleasure
in presenting same to the attention Of
our readers:
Ross Creek, Albert, N. w. T., Canada,
Aug. 7, 1899.
Editor Mason City Republican-Dear
Sir: We are located in the Beaver
Hills, 80 miles from FIT. Saskatchewan
and SO miles from Edmonton. To the
east of these is an immense area of
bottom lands. which furnishes abund-
ance Of hay for the settlers. 1t is dot
ted with small lakes, the largest of
which is called Beaver Lake, 16 miles
in length.
The Beaver Hills are covered with
small green willows which are easily
gotten rid of before breaking up the
land. Here and there poplar, birch
and tamarack trees abound. Small
meadows are numerous. The soil in
these hills is much richer than the bot
tom lands, being a kind of black leaf
mould. There is nc tough sod to
break, and it is very productive.
Wheat, oats and barley do finely and
vegetables are the finest that can be
grown. Potatoes especially are large
and solid, easily producing from 200
to 300 bushels per acre, and best of all
never a 'taty bug to wrestle with.
Wild fruit, strawberries, gooseberries,
saskatoons Cor pine berries), raspber-
rles and cranberries, are found in the
hills. Small tame fruit does finely, the
red and white currants in my garden
are as large again as common sized
ones.
We have long days during the
months of June and July; one can see
to read many evenings until 10 o'clock
in the twilight. Some nights less than
3 hours Of darkness, and the birds are
singing at 2 o'clock. Then again, it
rains so easily. You look toward the
west and see a little cloud coming up,
a gentle shower follows, the sun shines
forth again, and in a little while you
forget it has rained.
Cyclones are unknown here and the
thunder and lightning is very light.
We had two storms this summer &C
companied with wind and hail, but
nothing to lodge the grain. The aver
age heat is about 70 degrees. We had
three or four days in July al 80. The
nights are always cool.
The winter season is n of great &C.
tivity. All the fencing Is gotten out
then and logs for the farm buildings.
BY paying rs cents you are granted a
permit at the land Office to cut logs
upon vacant lands. The roads are
good and smooth, for the snow nevel
drifts, not even around the buildings
and this is q great saving of time tc
the farmer. Hay is hauled from the
bottom lands all winter long, and 6
man can work outside every day as fal
