practical. consequently a series of
bowls strung on cord one above an
other are suddenly jerked and give a
quick not unpleasing sound for him
to arise. Now the busy, bustling citi-
zen of the United States. all his life
through, suffers himself to be jerked
out of his dreams by the ringing of
discordant bell. No wonder that we
are all nerves with such breakfast
bells, nerves and dyspepsia! By CON-

"lulled out" of sweet. dreams on the
soft, silver notes of an exquisitely
played bugle! Hymns on Sunday.
After such an awakening, the salt bath,
the excellent cuisine seem doubly lux
urious. When the deck has been prom
enaded for our morning exercise. we
are ready to sink into our easy chairs
nominally to read up on art and travel
but really to listen to the band playing
on deck and to think of the loved ones

the daily run of the ship-charting each
day, her place on your private chart
discussing whether we shall pass in
sight of the Azores or miss seeing
them in a fog-when we shall arrive
at Gibraltar-at Algiers-at Naples or
Genoa, the morning hours pass and we
are again ready for the bugle when It
sounds for lunch. Hours on deck
reading or dreaming-other hours
in the music room or ships library
still other hours in writing up

us comfortably to the late dinner hour

pleasant portion of the day. Chess

To-day we can understand the feel

voyage. he saw the birds flying over
the ship and the sea weed floating ON
the sea, and knew that land was nigh

INQUEST ON A MUMMY.
Adventure of a Deceased Inca Lady
in Passing Through London.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
London, Dec. 14.-London has been
entertained by case, which might be
called "The Mummy and the Coroner"
which has just had a short run in the
Kings Bench Division before Mr.. JUS
tice Darling.
The case has even moved the Times
to editorial humor. In it's review of the
suit % says:
Mrs. Aitken, the plaintiff, obtained
a mummy in Peru, reputed to be the
mummy of a lady Inca, and brought
it to Europe for presentation to the
fathers of the Maison de Melle in Bel
gium. Now Peruvian mummies differ
widely from the well-known Egyptian
variety. They are not embalmed, nor
are they enclosed in cases.
"They appear to be merely sun dried
and then wrapped in cerements of a
peculiar fabric with the knees drawn
up to the body and the head bowed
down to the knees. They are said to be
rare, though it is hard to see why any
one should care TO possess an object
so unsightly and so little edifying, but
their market value is not high, accord
iltS " tue tNiitlNS, perhaps because
their physical condition is not, let us
say, quite so stable as that of an Egyp-
tian mummy.
Mrs. Aitken brought her mummy to
England apparently i'm good condition
1t was landed at Liverpool and there
consigned TO the London and North
western Railway for transmission to
the Maison dc Melle. Here its amazing
adventures began
One case, mummy is the bold and
curt description under which the hal
lowed remains of a lady Inca now
'unhouseed. disappointed, unaneled,
were consigned TO the railway COM Z
pany or its agents. They accepted IL
as such: though. when having lost or
mislaid the invoice, they opened and
examined the case, they attempted to
charge for il as corpse. but after
ward dropped the claim.
Whether mummy or corpse, the un-
happy remains duly arrived at Broad
street on their last long journey. There
strange thing happened. Having lost
the invoice, the railway company found
it necessary to open the case and as
certain it's contents.
There was said to be a 'stuffy odor'
about the box, as might easily be the
case when even less perishable articles
than sun-dried mummies are detained
in the goods station of London rail-

way while the consignees are looking
for lost invoice.
ION finding it contained what eX-
perts might pronounce to be a mummy,
but by the mere policemen was sure
to be regarded as corpse, the au-
thorities communicated with the cor
oner, and this egregious official not be-
ing an expert in mummies. took a
strictly professional view of the mat
ter. He summoned jury and held an
inquest
'The jury evidently entered into the
humor of the situation, and returned
the following verdict, which shows how
thoroughly and conscientiously they
discharged their duty:
" That the woman was found dead
at the railway goods station sun
street, on April Is, and did die on
some date unknown in some foreign
country, probably South America, from
some cause unknown. No proofs of d
violent death are found, and the body
has been dried and buried in some for
eign manner, probably sun-dried ana
cave buried, and the jurors are salts
fled that this body does not show any
recent crime in this country, and that
the deceased was unknown and about
25 years of age.
After the farce of the lost invoice
company duly delivered the mummy at
the Maison de NELLIE But by this time
it was scarcely distinguishable from
corpse, and the Belgian authorities
promptly ordered it to be buried as
such in the public cemetery.
I'VE should say that the cemetery
was a much better place than the mu-
scum for it, and we might also add
that the cemetery in Peru from which
the mummy was originally extracted
was the best place of all. Peruvian
mummies are cheap. it appears, but
then they are rather apt TO be nasty.
But railway companies which lose
the invoice of a mummy and then
connive at the absurdity of coroners
INQUEST which might have the effect
of getting rid of the corpus deficit,
must expect to pay for their negligence.
SO the jury seems TO have thought
when it awarded Mrs. Aitken compen-
saton to the amount of Gi5.
During the case the question OF the
late Inca Princess's condition. wheth-
er it was simply corpse or a num-
my brought up an interesting point.
The Judge pointed out that il was one
of the known pieces of English
law that corpses were not property.
The .corollary to this, of course,
would be that IL the Peruvian lady
were simply corpse there would be
no offense against property committed
against her. And 1t would further fol-
low that II all mummies were corpses
the various kings and queens of an
cient Egypt, which now adorn the
British Museum. might be safe spoil
for some skilful and enterprising burg
lar.
The recent verdict. however. sets a
precedent, that which nothing is
stronger In English law. for future
litigants. according to which II may
safely be considered that a corpse
when mummified. Is promoted TO the
condition Of property.

SECOND MILL END SALE.

The second Mill End sale will be
started tomorrow at Adlers. The one
last year was so successful that Mr.
Adler decided to repeat the sale this
year.
The remnants from a great number
of the largest mills i'm the United States
are embraced in this sale. They will
be thrown on the counters by Col. NJ.
Wilbur Dyer, special representative Cor
the Mill End Syndicate. and will be
sold under his MANAGEMENT.
Mr.. Adler thinks that his purchases
of remnants will be sufficient to pro-
long the sale two weeks, and said that
there will be thousands of yards of
caltcoes, ginghams. percales, muslins,
dress Innings, dress goods, silks, white
goods. laces, embroidery. toweling, table
linen, yard draperies, 'velours. carpets
and other piece goods, which he was
able to purchase through this syndi-
cate from the mills at such prices as
will make the sale a remarkab bic one.
Mr.. Adler expects a great rush when
the doors are opened tomorrow morn
ing, and a great many hundred people
will want to be served at once. Look
ing to the accommodation of all, he will
put on help to meet it, Col Dyer who
has managed the sales for all Of the
largest houses North, will direct the
sales. He will give business talks dur
ing the progress of the sale, and pro-
poses to make it an enjoyable affair,
aside from making it a profitable affair
for buyers
Mr. Adler said he proposed to cut
down the prices on all remnants in his
store to conform to the prices which
will be inaugurated by the Mill End
sale.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale has OBJ

says: Readers who are curious in
English history must not fail to OBJ

wrecked on his island the Both of Sep

that the English Commonwealth end

this island home for twenty eight
years. These twenty-eight years COW
cred the exact period of the second
Stuart reign in England. Robinson
Crusoe returned to England i'm June
1887; the Convention Parliament, which
established William Ill. met in Lon

not be an accidental coincidence Defoe
must have meant that the true born
Englishman could not live in England

reigned. Robinson Crusoe was a ruler
