RISING.

Woman has always looked up, and now she is actually going up. She is rising so fast that man will soon have l to get wings If he intends to accom- pany her in her upwardness. That she has already reached his high level is indicated by what took place at the conference of representatives of the Federated Women's Clubs of the States of the Louisiana province, which was held at Kansas City to determine what part woman should take in the Worlds Fair of 1903 In St. Louis. Mrs. Edwin Harrison of St. Louis was chosen Chairman of the gathering, and Mrs. Murphy of Nebraska, Recording Secre- tary. The conference adopted resolu- tions reciting that "the club women of the Louisiana Purchase States petition the Worlds Fair Legislative Commit tee to so amend the pending Worlds Fair bill as to strike out such clauses as provide for special woman's de- partment," The reason for this atti- tude was stated in the preamble, which set forth that "the distinctive charac- tertistic work of woman as woman is of such a nature that it cannot be rep resented in public exhibit" and that ''sueh work as she does in common with man should be exhibited on equal terms with and judged by the same standards as his.''
 Of course. Whats the use of talking about sex in work any longer? Man will he busy enough soon in keeping himself and his work on an equality with Woman and her work.

The Cold Spare Bed.

When you have friend to visit you, If she
 be welcome guest, You will try to make her happy, and you'll
 give her of your best; You'll tell her all the story of your varied
 household cares, And everlastingly you'll prate about your
 own affairs, e. But whatever else you do, don't for Heav-
 ems sake be led To put that helpless woman in the cold
 spare bed! You may tell her of your troubles with
 your numerous hired girls, And what ''she said" and what T said,'
 till her understanding whirls; You may talk of the servant question till
 the setting moons last geam And begin again next morning on the same
 old tiresome theme; But whatever else you do, don't for Heav- ems sake be led To put that helpless woman in the cold spare bed. You may tell her of your pains and aches,
 and what the doctor said, That time you came near dying with neu-
 ralgia in your head, Of how you poured down bitters, and drops and patent pills, When you caught the dread malaria, and had such awful chills; You may bore her, you may weary her, till she wishes she were dead; But, for Heavens sake, don't put her in the cold spare bed!

face and the knees drawn up nearly or
 a level with the chin The grave
 (which has been roughly initiated by the model here exhibted) was covered
 with slabs of unworked stone, and in
 it beside the body was disposed flint knives and a number of vases partly filled with the remains and dust of funeral offerings The man probably belonged to r-skinned, light-haired race, which may be regarded as one of l the aboriginal stocks of Egypt, whose | settlements are usually found on the
 west bank of the Nile. The style of the l flint implements found in the grave in- dicates that the man lived in the later
 neolithic period Of Egypt, that is, in
 remote ages long before the rule of
 Menes, the first historical King of
 Egypt"
 1 The grave was first seen by wan dering Arab he reported his discovery l to British official, who immediately sent 8 couple of Egyptian soldiers to guard it day and night until 1t could | be safely removed. The body is not q mummy of the ordinary historic Egyp- | tian period such as that of Rameses IT. the father of the Pharaoh of the Ilxo- dus. It was never bound uD in linen
 or cased in any painted coffin, but was
 merely coated with preparation of bitumen, the Arabic word for which is lnumia; hence our word mummy To reach the period when this man hunted
 along the banks of the Nile it is neoes-
 sary to travel backward in time
 through the modern period since Eliza
 beth, through Medieval Europe,
 through the whole history of Rome and
 Greece, past the time of the earliest
 mummied king the museum possesses,
 past even Menes. the earliest king to
 which Egyptian records make refer
 ence, who, according to Mariette, ruled
 about 5004 B c. Then we are among
 two prehistoric races, one the con-
 querors and the other the conquered, out of which sprang the Egyptian race of the earliest dynasties. It Is with these remote stocks that this man Is connected, Considering the conditions in which he was found it Is evident that he was associated with late period of the new Stone Age of Egypt He is buried In characteristically neo- lithic grave (the graves of stone), and has neoithic pots and flint implements beside him. They are like other neo- lithic pots and clipped flint weapons 1 and knives found in other parts of the | world. The fine, thin flint knives were | perhaps placed in the grave as part of | a funeral ritual. They should bs com | pared with the Egyptian flints in the l prehistoric section of the museum; they | are almost identical with those found ! in the grave. There is, of course, no in scription of any kind on the pots, knives or grave, all having been made long before the invention of written language. It is curious to note that | certain ancient Egyptian documents traditions of a race called Ire hennu, who had red hair and blue eyes, This man has distinctly auburn hair He was buried on the western shore. In later times every Egyptian was buried on that side of the river, and Egyptian models of the death boats on which the bodies were ferried over the stream may be seen in the Egyptian [3allery From The Sphere

Intoxication is extremely rare, though
 not apparently from moral consldera- tions so much as from those of expedi- eney, for tipsiness is not generally re-
 garded as disgracing.
 The finger game, resembling the Italian mora, is played during meals, i the loser swallowing as penalty cup
 of wine. Two men play at time.
 They show suddenly and simultaneous
 ly certain number of the fingers of
 one hand, and as each thrusts them
 forth he shouts or squeals the number which he thinks will be the total of
 his own and his opponents fingers. Thus, if A thinks B is going to put up three fingers he shows four, and calls "Seven!' While B, expecting him to show two, himself shows one, and vo- ciferates "Threeu' This simple game is immensely popular throughout the eighteen provinces.
 Dishes are not, as a rule, cleared away during meals, so that toward the close of dinner the table is stopped and strewn with debris, q veritable field of carnage. From time to time the convives retire to smoke, and oc- oasionally a refresher in the shape of coarse towel wrung out of hot water is handed round for the guests to success slyely wipe their steaming faces with an agreeable process that has been imi- tated in tke luxurious toilet of the States. The apotheosis of the dinner is the duck before alluded to. He is succeeded by few sweet dishes Final ly comes q bowl or two of white boiled rice or millet porridge-to clean the pal ate. (In home dinners rice is the chief item; in restaurant dinners it is rigidly excluded until the finale) Rince- pouches of warm water follow; then a cup of tea, and the seast is over.
 The guests shortly afterWard dis perse, the host apologizing for the wretched dinner he has dared to set be- fore them, the guests politely protest their sincerity and repletion by volleys of eructations.
 When the giver of the feast leaves the restaurant the amount of the bills Is, in his honor, shrieked from court to court, as far as the street door.

PINGREE I'll E PARDONER.

Ex-Governor Pingree of Michigan is- nit at all disturbed by the criticism that has been made of his use of the pardon ing power. During his first term he pardoned B convicts and paroled 122. During his second term he pardoned S5 and paroled 175, making a total of 1SS
 pardons and 297 paroles for his entire
 term. This looks like a rather large
 record for judicious governor to make,

The one negro member of the Illinois legislature refused to vote for Senator Cullom for reelection, in the Republi- can caucus, giving as reason the fact that in eighteen years of senatorial patronage activity the senator had failed and had refused to secure the appointment of single colored man to federal office.

SHILL I'VE WAIT?

What happened to sewing machines, bicycles and some other things has en- couraged many who want an automo- bile to wait until automobiles are cheap CT. Of course the 'per capita prosper ity is such nowadays that anybody can afford an automobile. but economy is always sensible, even in boom times But Is there going to be any economy in waiting for the prices Of automobiles to break? As good judge as the Elec- trical Review thinks not, It points out that the cost of building and selling good machine is considerably more than most people imagine, and adding to this the demand, which is said to be in ex- cess of the supply, there is no reason for a drop in price at the present time. When standard typewriters are con sidered and their price taken into con- sideration it may be safely predicted that the change in the selling figures for automobiles will not be materially reduced in the near future. When the typewriter first came out 1t was predict ed that the price would not hold long, as competition would bring it down, but the fact that it has been maintained at nearly its original rating seems to give for a corresponding theory re-
 
 garding automobiles
 We don't see much force in the argu- ment that because the prices of type writers haven't broken the prices of au- tomobiles wont. but very likely the makers and sellers of automobiles do.

For years a well known Philadelphia attorney has bothered large property owner who once defeated him in law suit It started over the rental of a piece of ground in what was once the business center of Philadelphia. Un- der the original contract the lessee of the ground paid his rental in 300 Span ish dollars, but a dozen years ago the owner desired change in the specified tions. For some reason the lessee ob- jected and engaged the attorney in question when the owner brought suit against him, and was sustained by the court. Ever since, however, the attor- ney has employed his revengeful tac- tics. Before the annual date of pay ment he sent to Mexico for 300 Spanish dollars, heavy and unwieldy in size On pay day he waits until after banking hours, when he secures a wheelharrow and has the load of heavy silver carted to the ground owner.

A funny thing, says the Kennebec
 (Maine) Journal, happened in the amusement hall at the insane hospital the other evening during the entertain ment given by the Cony minstrels. One of the soloists had just sung song, to which he received generous encore. In responding he stepped to the front of the stage and said: I will now sing you that beautiful song entitled "The Lost Sheep on the Mountain , The prelude was played and the singer had just strengthened up and inflated his lungs, as if to begin, when one of the female patients in the audience jumped to her feet and shouted, in shrill voice: 'Ba-a-a-ah! There, got ahead of ye that time, didn't I?' And she had, for "Ba-a-a-ah' was just what the sing CT was going to say had she given him chance Where she had heard the joke is not known, but in thus stealing it from the singers own lips she so eff fectually 'queered' that individual that further efforts on his part were useless, and all he could do was to say Thank you!' and sit down."
