Fer several weeks there has been talk
Of the inability Of the city council being
asked to pass a resolution requesting the
General Assembly to give Providence a
police commission, and il is understood
that quite a number OF the members look
upon the proposition with favor.
People outside the city council, that is
some people, however. insisted that the
police commission project was dead, but
the reason the Pawtucket and Central
Falls bills did not pass was because the
city councils of both those cities were
opposed 10 them.
Now however, IL is pretty certain that
a request for the enactment of "A police
commission act will hc sent from the city
hall 10 the state house that is. II con-
tempiated plans fill, and there seems TO
be no reason TO doubt that they will fill.
This decision has been brought about
In "a somewhat peculiar manner, and has
arisen through the consideration OF other
matters, which IL was never thought
would cuiminate in bringing about "A
movement In favor OF police commits
sion.
HOW TT CAME ABOUT.
As is we'll known the local police have.
through a committee composed Of their
own members, asked the city council TO
provide way for the creation OF a police
pension fund. The finance committee has
wrestled with the subject for many
weeks. without arriving at any definite
conclusions.
The finance committee found. that If
what the police asked for in the way of
percentages OF fees. etc, were set aside
for the fund. material shortage would
be created and either appropriations for
other departments would have 10 be cut
down. or n higher tax rate would be
called for, and the latter the public would
not stand.
IL was this dilemma. or a way out of IL,
perhaps. that brought about tho sugges-
ton 20 cause TO be introduced i'm the city
council a resolution directing the city So
licltor In apply To the General Assembly
FOR an act creating police commission.
which should not only have fun control
of the police department, but also ot
llquor licenses.

Cairo, March Is, 1901.
Editor Providence News: have been
living in Egypt for nearly month and I
can say now as remarked at the end OF
the first week that there has not been a
drop or rain nor. so far as my observa-
tion goes. even cloud in the sky in all
that time.
So far as weather is concerned there Is
but little TO distinguish one day from an-
other except the greater or less intensity
of the heat.
In coming down the Nile we experienced
a "Siracco." The wind was strong, but
like blast from an oven, and for sever
al days together the thermometer mount
ed TO lQ2 degrees in the shade
A CITY or SHIFTING COLOR.
Upon reaching Cairo. however. We
found IL somewhat cooler. and have thus
been enabled to resume our round OF vis-
its TO places OF interest.
Cairo is one vast Kaleidoscope OF shift
ing color and fife.
The costumes of representatives of ev-
cry nation OF Europe, Asia and Africa
may be met with I'm the course Of an
hours stroll In the tortuous and crowd
ed streets. But what was somewhat OF a
surprise TO me is the extent OF the mod
crn European section. and the degree OF
wealth and fashion displayed therein.
Here also the past and the present come
into vivid contrast.
You may travel now almost To the base
OF the ancient pyramids i'm trolley cars,
and the sumptuous English coach treads
its way amid the multitude of donkeys
and donkey boys. and the automobiles
whrl by under the very noses of line
of grave and dighihed but sstonished
camels.
1T appears now as If by another quarter
Of century the old typical Cairo OF the
past will only he discovered as the re-
suit of diligent search.
HISTORIC TREASURES.
On the main highway leading out from
Cairo TO the pyramids stands the Gizeh

covered i'm the old temples and tombs
have been deposited. The building Itself

RAMEsEs THE GREAT.
The body of Rameses the Great meas
ures at present five feet ten inches. AL
lowing for shrinkage this proved him TO
have been about six feet two inches I'm
height. The head is long and small In
proportion tosthe body. On the temples
there are a few sparse hairs. but upon the
top OF the head the hair Is quite thick
and lies I'm smooth straight locks.
The forehead is low and narrow. The
eyes are small and close together, the
nose is long. thin and hooked. The tenn
pies are, OF course, sunken, the ears
round, standing far out from the head
The jawbone is massive and strong the
chin very prominent the mouth small but
thick Tipped and fun or some kind OF
black paste.
The expression OF the. .countenance Is
unintelleotual: but there Is plainly to be
seen an air of sovereign majesty. OF re-
solve and of pride. The corpse Is evident
~ that OF an old man, but OF an old man
vigorous and robust
We know, indeed that Rameses II
reigned for 81 years and must have been
nearly 100 years old when he died. IL is
noticeable also that allowing for differ
ence in age there is a remarkable corre-
Fpondence between the features OF tho
mummy and the many statues OF this
Pharaoh scattered throughout Fgypt
which represent him as a youth or as n
man in the full maturity OF his powers
While in life he never seems TO have
lost an opportunity to erect statue OF
himself and to put himself on an equality
with the Egyptian deities. Plainly I'm his

why the Negro is Called ..Coon.

why the Negro Is Called
Baltimore Sun: Many years ago,
when superstition held greater sway
than now and the influences OF the oc-
cult and weird were most potent, a
cunning negro slave had acquired the
reputation Of possessing a familiar
spirit and of being able to perform
many uncanny mysteries. His fell
low-slaves held him in great awe, and
even his master grew to a belief in his
powers. This finally led to a wager,
in which the greater part of the mas
ter's fortune was staked on the negro's
divining ability. A barrel was placed
on the lawn and a live coon placed I'M
der the barrel. Then the negro sooth-
sayer was sent for and told to inform
the crowd what was under the barrel.
He tried in various ways to escape the
exposure. But without success. Re-
alizing that he was cornered, be leaned
on the barrel dejectedly and remarked.
swell, you've got this old coon at
last" w%hereupon a great shout ap-
plauded what was considered Sambo's
remarkable astuteness, and his repu-
tation was forever firmly established.

If you want to have a good COM
plexion, avoid greasy foods, cakes,
pastry and sweets, as well as all lightly
seasoned dishes. Don't eat between
meals. Eat plenty of fruit, fresh and
stewed, and green vegetables, under
done beef and mutton, white fish and
milk buildings. Give up strong tea and
coffee, and if you find that any special
food disagrees with you give it up at
once. The stomach quickly reacts on
the skin and takes its revenge by CIV
ing it a muddy look.

he had been away burying his grand

He did this two or three times, and
then he thought he had better change
his excuse, so, on being asked the next
time, he replied:
'well, my brother, the sailor, is at

lash pailfuls Of water on the window

Eternal Lamps.

A common superstition that the an
clients possessed the art Of making
lamps which would burn forever for a
long time obtained, and 1t was claimed
that n such lamp was discovered in
the tomb of Rosicrucius. Science, how
ever, has long set this, together with
other superstitions, forever at rest,
since it has been demonstrated that
fire will not burn in a chamber from
which the air has been exhausted.
