wasted when we offer it to the poor
Egyptians who are being robbed Of
their mummies. Of course we should
be properly Mortified to find our own
cemeteries invaded and their bodies
scattered in foreign countries, but be-
tween the present representatives of
the Egyptian race and their ancient
progenitors whose mummifcd re-
mains We dote on for our museums
there is about as much actual Einship
in sentiment and in fact as there is
between Americans CT the 18th cen
tury and the cave, bones Of France
or the petriiied bodies of Swiss lsre
dwellers.

privy seal. The best paid member OF
the cabinet is the lord lieutenant of
Ireland, who getsS100,00O year. The

retary for foreign affairs $4,000 and
the minor members and under-secra-

full for some time of settling the matter
by paying the shortage and the costs IN
the case. and with this end in view
money was raised among large num-
Ter of friends and acquaintances. This
fund was deposited with ID. I. Denmead
