--------------------- THAIS OF ALEXANDRIA.
Her Mummy, Her Little Sandals, Her
 Life and Reflections Thereon.

Her Mummy Her Little Sandals, Her Life and Reflections Thereon.
 The hermit is soon forgotten in the contemplation of Thais, whose beauty, talent and wealth were once the fable of Alexandria. Her head, upon which are still to be seen locks of soft brown
 hair, lightly streaked with gray, is
 crowned by the green of a flower wreath; around the neck is a string of colored glass beads, and the sunken chest is covered by an embroidered lin- en or silk robe. From the head falls a very long gold embroidered pink tulle veil, in a wonderful state of preserva- ton. Implements of piety, long palm | branches and the traditional provision baskets are placed beside her.
 | The most interesting things of all, | however, are the small gold incrusted leather sandals. They are so small that they might be those of child.
 Nearly all the visitors of the museum comment upon these wonderful sandals in astonshment, envy, incredullty or admiration, according to the varying sizes of their own respective eXtreml- ties. Few pass without paying some | kind of verbal tribute to the tiny feet of Thais For long time I leaned over | the glass case, spelbound by the weird 1 charms of it's uncanny occupants, and l pondering upon the ironies of destiny

If one takes the trouble to carefully question a person that has been using Grape-Nuts Food for two or three weeks the facts will be brought out that gradually there comes over the body feeling of increased strength, particularly of mental strength and ability.

 This is a profound fact regarding Grape-Nu The Food contains just the kind of material Nature must have to unite with albumen, from which to rebuild the gray matter in the brain and nerve centers throughout the body.

The bill introduced is all right, but it
would probably be well to let it go at
that. If we are to have religious SER
vices in the territorial institutions. it
would naturally follow that we should
also have them in our pubic schools.
This would bring a community fight as
to what denomination should have the
