A New Health Fad.
From Leslie's Weekly.

A new cure has appeared in Paris
which is said to be much in vogue, es-
pecialy among members of the smart set.
II takes the form of special diet and
the particular malady at which Il is
aimed is over-stoutness. The Idea of this
diet Is that everything, or nearly every
thing, must be eaten cold; and even not
coffee. tea. or soup is forbidden to those
following the regime. The early break
fast of toast, cold game. or hard boiled
eggs and ham is accompanied by a cup
OF cold milk. At luncheon. again, there
is nothing but cold meats and cold pud-
dings. with bread and cheese or salad /;
while again. at night. the meal may con-
sist only OF mayonnaise of fish. cold en-
trees and entremets. All this may be
well enough and possibly benehcal-to
some people But the claim that cold"
diet OF this sort will prove beneficial to
all persons afflicted with too much flesh
Is claiming too much Obesity may be
reduced In almost every instance by Diet
Ing. but as the particular kind OF food
and drink TO be taken or let alone. that
depends largely on the individual case
and must be governed generally by indi-
gldual conditions.

cred relics in Egypt-the very head of
their patron god.
Then came years aft war and devasta-
ton of plundering Copts and Arabs, and
the tomb was forgotten, or lived only In
folklore. In the winter of 1898 Mr.. Anne
lineau discovered the location of the
sepulchre and opened the outer vaults.
Other scholars followed him and in 1900
Mr.. Petrie arrived, working in the in
terests of the Egyptian Exploration Fund,
which in this city is represented by the
American Exploration Society.
Mr.. Petrie went over all the ground
covered by his predecessors, opened five
more of the crypts, and. though not thor
oughly excavating in all, convinced him
self that he was indeed in the tomb of
King Ter, the second King of the First
Dynasty. Renewing his work this year
he has found much that had escaped
Mr.. Amelineau Stone vases with golden
caps were brought to light, toDliers of
later workmanship and probably left
here by some later monarch in honor Of
his great predecessor. Much material of
the reign Of King Mena was found; in
scribed tablets, 100 seaIings in royal
names of the First Dynasty; 400 stone
vases. and smaller material in vast
quantity.
BY far the most valuable discovery Of
all came just at the end of the explor-
er's work In a side chamber of the tomb,
overlooked by the plunderers of the later
empire, not found by Mr.. Amelineau
and the other scholars sent to investigate
the field of his labor. was found the arm
of the Queen of King Ter. Wound about

deep in the heavy gold chasing
This is the oldest known jewelry in the
world The famous Dashur jewery found
some years ago by Mr.. de Morgan. Is
said to be of the period $500 B. C. These
ornaments found by Mr.. Petrie are fully
1000 years older.
The unique value and priceless. i'm
portance of the find is such that the
bracelets will be retained by the Museum
of Gizen.

Modern Long-Rnnge Rifles Are Hurt
full to Those Who Use Them.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The modern long-range military rifle is
going to develop near-sighted soldiers If
no precautions are taken" said New Or
leans doctor who has seen service in the
Late campaign. THE necessity of strain
ing the eyes upon a target a mile or
more away is as certain to produce that
result as and make 4, and it is sig
nificant fact that quite number of men
have already been relieved from duty in
the Philippines on account of defective
vision The nature of the defect is not
stated, but it was evidently acquired since
the soldiers entered the service, for they
are subjected to a searching optical exam
ination upon enlistment, and 1 hazard the
guess that most of the present trouble is
due to overstrain in long distance shoot
ing. The japanese army surgeons have
anticipated the danger and the troops
sent to China were all supplied with small
compact field glasses as part of their reg
ular accouterment.
II read in technical journal the other
day that the glasses only cost rs cents
apiece so they couldn't have amounted to

nothing. At the same time" continued
the physician, mo field glass exactly
meets the difficulty. At best it merely
permits the soldier to examine the target
in detail before he picks up his gun, and
to draw bead he is absolutely compelled
to do more or less squirting and straining
over the sights. The proper appliance
would be a very light modified field glass
that could be fastened over the eyes and
used in actually taking aim. I am con-
WINGED that such glass will be perfected
and in use In the near future. 1t pre-
sents no great problem. and all the
mountings, II desired. could be made out
of pressed paper, so that the chief weight
would be the lenses In fact it need not
be much heavier than a pair of old-fash-
Toned iron-bowed spectacles and still have
sufficient magnifying power to enable
soldier to sight his rife with ease upon an
object at maximum range. 1 admit" ad-
ded the doctor, that regiment with its
glasses on would present rather ludi-
crous picture, but the instrument is one
of the clear necessities of present condi-
tions, and 1t is bound to come"

BADLY TREATED by BRITISH.
Ten Waits Return From south Africf
Via south America.

New York, April Item men who ar
rived on the British steamship Dunstan
of the Bruce Line say they had contract
ed to be taken from South Africa to New
Orleans, but instead were shipped to
South America and then to this port and
put off with little money. To-day they
applied at the Outdoor Poor Department
for help.
The men have been working for years
at the New Orleans dock. Dec. 10 they
shipped on the steamship Hydes of the
Houston line for Cape Town in charge of
a lot of mules for the British in South
Africa. They assert that their contracts
called for SIS pay and passage and that
they, for some reason, were not sent back
to New Orleans.
They made complaint at the British
consulate, but were told, they say, that
the office had nothing whatever to do
with their case. Commissioner Kerr of

gate their story, and in the meantime has
sent them to the State Board Institution

Pekin's Privileged Crows.

From Pekin Letter in New York Sun.
A feature of Pekin is the vast number
of crows that are to be seen. Literally
there are millions of them. They are
everywhere. They are almost tame. They
hop along the ground near your feet.
They seem to have no fear. About 5
o'clock every afternoon they start
flight to the Forbidden City, and the air
is black with them. Before dark ali the
crows in Pekin are in the Forbidden City,
and the buildings there are covered with
them. Those that are open are filled
with them. The various thrones are
roosting places no less than the roofs and
the trees. The obvious reason. for their
nightly flight to the Forbidden City is
that they have learned that It is a place
where they are never disturbed. A super
stitious Chinaman was asked by the
stranger: why do all the crows go 10
the Forbidden City at night?" ITO see
the Son OF heaven" he said.' "Ah, IL is
a great thing to see the son of heaven
(the emperor. We cannot see him IN this
life. No one not an official can go into

beautiful and most magnificent place In
the world, but II we are good In this life
