RED SEA EMERALD MINES.
Known as Cleopatra's Mines and Worked
by the Romans.


What are known as the emerald
mines of Cleopatra lie in the mountain
range that extends for long distance
parallel to the Red Sea, and a few
leagues west of its coast, in the lati-
tude rather south of Eofu, on the Nile.
This, like some other parts of the re-
gion-such as the porphyry quarrles
Of Jebel Dokham-was far better
known than it is now, and more thick
ly populated, about twenty centuries
ago, and only during the present one,
so far as we know, have isolated ex-
plorers at long intervals found their
way into the treasure houses of
ancient Egypt.
When its rulers first used the emer-
aid for personal adornment is uncer-
tain. Whether the large, clear green
stones which, according to ancient au-
thorities, ornamented the Egyptian
temples We're really emeralds is a mat
ter Of dispute, but as this gem-owing
to its regular shape, which is common
ly a siX-sided prism-with its beautiful
tint, stands less in need of the lapid-
ary's art than many others, 1t probably
formed part of the regalia of princes
at very early period.
That it was known to the Romans
Is certain, and the mines now revisited
used to send their treasures to the gem
cutters of the capital. Ever since then
the stone has been highly esteemed.
These mines of the Northern Ethbai
seem to have remained untouched
since the decline and fall of Rome
caused them to be deserted. Accord
ing to Mr.. MacAllister, the workings
are only small passages, hardly more
than burrows, eXcavated in the emet-
aid bearing cyst and sometimes ex.
tending for long distance.
Many scattered ruins may also be
seen-dwellings. watch towers and
tombs, besides those of the fen settle
ments. In these, no doubt, the mining
population used to live, and the differ
ence in style suggests they We're occu-
pied for long time. Some are mere
novels, very roughly built; others show
more careful construction, while a
third group are well finished. Mr..
MacAllister also found three rock cut
temples, for the soft stone lends itself
to that kind of architecture. He thinks
that their pillars, though very primi-
tive in style, indicate Egyptian designs,
with traces of Greek influence. One,
indeed, contains crumbling inscrip-
ton in that language.
Broken pottery, sometimes orna-
mented, is abundant, but there is no
evidence that the neighborhood at
tracted visitors for any but business
purposes. Notwithstanding this there
was in those times settled instead of
nomal population, and travellers once
must have been rather frequent, for
in one place many drawings of per-
sons, animals and tribal marks are
scratched upon the rocks. Some of the
figures evidently are much older than
others, but as a whole they recall to
memory the Sinaitic inscriptions
which some forty years ago were be-
lieved to be memories of the wander
ings of the Israelites. - Geographical

OALY AND HACK MAN.
New Story Told of the Late Montana
Copper klug.

New Story Told of the Late Montana
Copper kiug.
When Marcus Daily was in Wash
1ngton last it is told that he performed
a humane act which very nearly
brought brutal hack driver into the
police court, and was topic of con-
Versation at the hotel and other places
which Daily frequented. The story es-
capped the vigilance of the local news
paper fraternity, and is here published
for the frs time. Daily was coming
out of Chanlberlain's one morning
when he espied negro hackman
brut2lly belaboring crippled old
horse with heavy whip in an almost
futile effort to increase its speed from
a walk to Slow trot, says the Wash
lngton Post. DAILY hailed the driver,
who quickly drew rein and approached
the curb with the prospects of obtain
ing fare. Where do you want to
go to, boss?" inquired the negro. I'll
want to go with you to the police court
If you don't stop beating that poor old
horse" replied the millionaire. You
could coax the nag along faster with
handful of oats and a wiSp of hay in
front of him than you can by beating
him from behind. When did you feed
him last?" The negro complained that
times we're hard. that fares were scarce
and that he could not afford to pro-
vide better for his horse. Daily saw
the force of the argument at once and
inquired how much the cabman aver
aged a week, and was told that SO or
$40 was considered a good wage. DAILY
reached down in his vest pocket and
drew forth a roll Of bills, from which
he peeled $50 note and handed it to
the astonished negro. There, take
that" said the copper king, "and put
that rack of bones in the barn and
treat him to banquet of hay and corn
and if | see you with him on the streets
in the next two weeks I'll have you
arrested "

Weak Nerves, Tired, Exhausted
Bodies.
The Complaint Of Thousands upon
Thousands.
Health and Strength are
Within Your Grasp.
Or. Greene'S Nervura Makes You
Strong and Well.
It is the Great Restorative of Brain
and Nerves.

oh, those nerves of ours, how they
do bother US! Weak. tired. and ner-
vous is the complaint everywhere.
We overwork. dissipate. weaken our
bodies, ruin our health. and finally
break down. Sleeplessness and indi-
gestion are early symptoms. for the
nerves are too exhausted and irritable
to permit rest. and the stomach too
weak to digest food.
1t is nerve and brain exhaustion
which makes the brain tired. and the
arm nerveless. the limbs trembling,
the muscles weak, and the whole body
without strength, energy or ambition.
1t is loss of nerve and vital power
which is slowly but surely sapping the
very life itself. and unless help is
sought from the right source. the end
will be shattered nerves, insanity with
softening of the brain. nervous pros
tration, heart failure. paralysis or pre-
mature death.
Beware of such symptoms, A well
known druggist. Charles w. Eggles-
ton, 1923 Park Avenue. Worcester,
Mass, suffered from nervous prostra-
tion and all its terrible symptoms. He
writes the following letter telling what

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
tion but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation :
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles.

The enforcement of the stock or

in town where cows could be tied
out to grass without damag to any

OBITUARY..

The angel of death visited our
community Sunday morning and
claimed Sister Bertha Johnson, wife
of J. S. Johnson, as His victim. Sis
ter Johnson was born in Denmark,
was married in 1854. The family
emigrated to this county in 1882.
She was the mother of eight chill
dren, six sons and two daughters.
Five'of them proceeded her to the
glory world. She leaves her com.
panion and three sons and a host
of friends on this side of the river.
She was seventy-nine years and six
months old. She was a kind and
faithful companion, devoted and
loving mother, charitable, good
and obliging neighbor. She was
reared in the Lutheran faith. She
was conscious to the end. She told
her friends she was ready and will
ling to go home to rest.
The bereaved ones tender their
thanks to the neighbors for their
kindness during the sickness, and
the community for the respect
shown them at the funeral.
The funeral was conducted on
Monday by the writer. Then Mr..
Harvey, the undertaken, took charge
of the casket, and it was followed
by respectable procession to the
Baxter cemetery, where the remains
were laid to rest until the resur.
