EM ERALD MINES.
They Were Lost for Centuries, but Hsye
 Boon F Esdfseoycrex

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 it's coast, in latitude rather south of Eofu on the Nile, says the Geographical Journal. This, like some other parts of the region-such as the porphyry quarries of Jebel Dok han-Was far better known fhan it is now, and more thickly peopied. about twenty centuries ago, and only during the present one, so far as we know, have isolated explorers at long inter Vals found their way into the treasure house of ancient Egypt When it's rul- CTS first used the emerald for personal adornment is uncertain. Whether the large, clear stones which, according to ancient authorities, ornamented the Egyptian temples were really emeralds Is a matter of dispute, but as this gem owing to it's regular shape, which is commonly siX-sded prism-and it's beautiful tint stands less in need Of the lapidary's art than many others it
 
 of princes at a very early period That 1t was known to the Romans is cer- tain, and the mines now revisited used to send their trCasu9Gs to the gem cut ters of the eapitgt. Ever since then the stone has been highly esteemed. These mi es of tile northern Ethbal seem to have remained untouched since ho c. D them to be deserted. According to Mir MacAllister the workings are only small passages, hardly more than bur rows, eXcaYated in the emerald bear ing cyst and sometimes extending for long distance. Many scattered rufus may also be een=dwellings, watch towers and tombs besides those of fen settlements. In these, no doubt, the mining population used to live and the difference in style suggest they were occupied for | long time Some are mere novels, very roughly built; others show a more careful construc- tion, while a third group are well fin ished. Mr MacAlliste9 also found thrt @ rock-eut temples. for the soft stone lends itself to that kind of architecture. He thinks that their pillars, though very primitive ill style indicate Egyp- tian designs with traces Of Greek in. fuence. One. indeed, contains erum- bling inscription in that language Broken pottery, sometimes ornament ed, is abundant. but there is no evi- dence that the neighborhood attracted visitors for any but business purposes Notwithstanding this. there was in those times a settled instead of nomad population, and travellers once must have been rather frequent, for in one place many drawings of persons, 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 Sinaitie inscriptions which some forty years ago were believed to be memories of the wanderings of the Israelites

FREE LUNCHES.
Men Are No Longer to Enjoy Mo
 nopoly of Them.


 Hitherto men have had the exclusive privilege of indulgence in free lunches, but now the fairer and better sex are to be endowed with a similar boon. Feminine shoppers have found out how to do it. All you have to do is to go into the grocery department of one of the large department stores. There if you are fond of cereals, you can get good start on the many kinds of breakfast foods that are given away as samples Sometimes the maid in charge gets generous and gives sub stantial helping, again it is only q taste, but when there are fifteen or twenty kinds to sample you can always manage to set enough. This is mere ly q first course. Next yon try potted meats and crackers that the manu- facturers are anxious to introduce to the public Sometimes baked beans will be served For dessert there are canned friuts Of every Kind, jllies, fancy cakes and preserves, and you can finish with q bit of cheese. The bill of fare varies daily. There are constantly new dishes to be advertised by giving away. times crystallizod fruits. dainty bits of preserved ginger, fancy pickles, olives, waters and even ice cream are served We don't lose anything by the scheme, said the nanaSer Of one of the departme mt stores, for every woman who i'll this way saves quarter is SO proud Of the feast that she comes downstairs and spends it right away She calls that financiering. .-Chieaso News.
