FIRST WAR IN HISTORY.
Inscriptions Lately Unenrthed Re-
veal the Fact That Egypt Once
Invaded France.

That Egypt and France held inter
course as early as 1000 B. c. is proved
by the marked resemblance of inscrip-
lions found in the two countries, says
the Philadelphia North American. The
excavations of Prof. Flinders Petrie
have brought to light evidence of an
extremely ancient movement between
the land of the Pharaohs and the coun-
tries bordering on the Mediterranean
This communication, like all other
great invasions of history, had its
origin in an effort at trade extension.
The great wars of the eight zenith
Egyptian dynasty were provoked by
nations jealous of Egypt's
growing wealth and power. In retail
alton Egypt carried the campaign into
Asia and Europe, and, judging from
the inscriptions mentioned, must have
pushed as far west as France
Prof. Petrie has in his possession
series of figures found in Malta and
neolithic remains from Brassenpuoy
in France which are beyond chance Of
doubt the work OF Egyptians. They
establish intercourse long before the
period which is generally recognized
as the beginning Of the history of the
countries Of Europe.

MICE IN THE SLEEPS WOOL.
New York Farmer Finds Eighty of
the Tiny Creatures Ensconced
in Fleecy Homes.

Adsit Bailey keeps a good many
sheep on his farm in the town of Ur-
bana, says a Bath On. " report He
noticed the other day, on going out to
feed his flock, black spot on the back
of one of the sheep.
When he went to look at it the spot
instantly disappeared. Then another
black spot appeared for an instant on
the sleeps back and as quickly went
out of sight.
This time the farmer saw that the
black spot was mouse, and while he
was looking at the place where it had
been third black spot came into sight
at the same place on the Sleeps back
and disappeared as the others had.
Then Farmer Bailey thought it was
time to investigate, and he thrust his
hand down into the sleeps thick coat
of wool and found three snug and coy
mouse nests, each with newborn lit
ter of young ones in it. He lost no time
in breaking up those odd mouse colo
MES. and then looked over others Of
his sheep, with the result that he found
four more in the depths of whose wool
mice had chosen warm places to build
nests and bring forth their young.
Ten nests were found in all, contain
ing an aggregate of so young mice
The sheep seemed not only not to
mind the presence of the mouse nests
in their fleeces, but acted as if they

TALKING AT SEA.
TWO Ocean Liners Crossing In op-
posite Directions Use the
Wireless Method.

The marvels of wireless telegraphy
are great enough to render a recent
use of the system not sufficiently won
derful to be extraordinary, perhaps,
yet the incident reported by Cham
bers' Journal is one which appeals to
the imagination.
Two Cunard liners, the Lucania and
the Campania, were crossing the At
lantic in opposite directions. Each,
knowing the date of the others sail
ing. could make a calculation as to
the hour when they would most likely
meet. When the hour came the vessels
.were too far apart to sight each other.
Presently, however, the warning bell
of the wireless telegraphic apparatus
in the Campania tinkled, and the mes
sage was spelled OUT "Are you there?
-Lucania." And then the two vessels,
still invisible to each other. and, as it
was found, sc miles apart, talked for
some hours, exchanging experiences
as to the weather, and finally parting
with the word ''good-by" when they
were 40 miles asunder.
Such a conversation carried on be-
tween vessels in the open ocean, sep
arated by such a vast stretch of wa
ter and out of sight of each other, is
an impressive illustration of what
wireless telegraphy means.

COCOANUT PALM is HANDSOME
IT'S Long, Graceful Leaves Lend n
Striking Beauty to the
Southern Tree.

The cocoanut is one Of the handsom-
est palms by its long, graceful leaves.
It grows luXuriantly as far north as
Palm Beach, Fla, and few specimens
NAV be seen little above that point.
Used to line walks, they present a
picturesque scene, the low branches
curving gracefully overhead. The nuts
and their development are very inter
esting to observe. As a long time is
occupied in the growth of the nuts,
they may be seen on the same tree in
many stages, from small, acorn-lile
ones to the immense brown-husked
fellows, all in large punches. The
flowers, too, for a new crop, may be
included in the collection.
1t is a matter for concern, says Nee
hans Monthly, that there appears to
be little or no attempt to propagate
cocoanuts in Florida, even though they
be for ornamental purposes only.
They are far from being so plentiful
as they were u years ago.

And there, in the graveyard of Che
Mere, are among the many new graves
two side by side, with a single cross
above them.
Never again in the days to come will
the island be its former beautiful
self. Such scars drive too deep. Time
may never change the awful, dreadful
memories about the land which once
smiled in plenty. Little children play
again about the vineyards, and otEar
youthful lovers whisper as they walk
hand in hand along the beach at twi-
light but if spirits walk at the mystic
hour among the lonely graces in the
marshes and in the humble little
cemetery, then you will hear of that
dreadful night, when the angry waves
rode over the island, and robbed it
and murdered it. Restful spirits will
keep watch, and if the waves lash
again into fury, they will be softeped
and hushed, and so instead will only
wash away bitter memories. The
peace of God is again upon the island,
and in song and story, Cheniere is
again the vine-clad land of mirth and
plenty.
Once more the red-sailed luggers
ride around Cheniere Caminada.

The facts of this story are essentially
true. The storm ragged all night on Sun
day. in October, 1898. On that night,
1000 or more lost their lives on the is
land of Chinere Caminada. The island
lies adjacent to Grand isle, noted as a
summer resort on the extreme southern
coast of Louisiana. One of the fisher
men actually predicted the storm and
his own death that night, though few
gave faith to what they termed his
hallucinatlon.

Morning dawned, clear and beauti-
full. The sun, a fiery disk, sent long,
glinting lines across the water, and the
iridescence was a moclery of some
of the hideous objects floating on the
waves. A strange stiffness lowered
over all. Life seemed strangely, sud-
denly, interrupted. Only the OCCASION
al cry of a cat bird was heard. No
sound of lowing cattle, no early matin
by the noisy swallows.
See, there lie two bodies, side by
side, with faces upturned to the sun
light. Serene in their last sleep, the
unhappy and luckless lovers lie, cast
on the beach by the receding waves.
Old Manuel was right. "For it is
writ. these two shall not wed. To-
night they shall die"
