He Built One of the Pyramid..

He Built One OF the Fyram1us.
The British museum, the great Euro
pean ~storehouse of things out of the
ordinary, has hundreds Of Egyptian
mummies of all dynasties carefully
slowed away within it's walls. Some of
these are comparatively recent efforts
at embalming, and others date back to
the wide revolving shades of centu-
ries past" The oldest of the entire col
lection is the mummy of Mykerinos.
He was a king in Egypt in what is
known to history as the fourth dynas-
ty'' and wore his golden tiara and sat
on the throne of thrones 1000 years be-
fore the wise men followed the star of
fate till it stopped over that lowly
howell in Bethlehem where the infant
Jesus lay.
Mykerinos was the builder of the
third pyramid at Gizeh, where his
headless mummy was discovered in
the year 1886. The stone coffin in
which he was being transported to
England vas lost at sea and lay at the
bottom Of the ocean for two years be-
fore being recovered. 1t is seldom that
a mans bones are subjected to v~icissi-
tudes, especially 5000 or 5000 years
after his death.

only worn by the Ibo women of wealth
and Importance, but the metal anklets
worn by others may be many pounds
in weight, and some Of them wear huge
brass plates, perhaps a foot in diam
eter. which, once fixed to the ankles,
are never removed. The men wea a
single strip of cotton cloth. but those
who come much in contact with the
Europeans are now learning to wear
trousers. Their weapons are flint
locks, bows and spears, the latter both
for hurting and thrusting.
The huts are built of mud and mat
ting and are quadrangular in shape.
The center is an open courtyard, at
one end of which is the apartment Of

The Decimal Point.

In both France and Germany one
fourth C4) reduced to a decimal is writ
ten as .25, in England 1t is written
% always with the period at the top
Of the line) and in the United States In
this way. %. France and Germany
always use the comma, England and
the United States the period, the only
difference being the hammer in which 1t
Is placed upon the line. Sir Isaac New
ton is given the credit of originating
the present English method Of using
the decimal point, his reasons being
that by placing 1t at the top Of the line
it could be distinguished at a glance
from the full STOP punctuation mark.
All English mathematician use the
mark in the way proposed by Newton
and the period as a sign of multiplied
ton.

A Delightful Social Function.

1t was stunning event in the
quiet club circles of Lancaster.
S. O., to have the President of
The Federation of Woman's
Clubs, Mrs. Martha Orr Patter.
son, of Greenville, S. c., make
them a visit. She spent Thanks
giving day in the old town; and
at 4 O'Clock In the AFTERNOON the
Ladies' Club gave q reception at
the commodious residence of Mrs.
Ira b. Jones, kindly rendered to
them for the occasion. After a
short introduction by the Presi.
dent of the senior club, Mrs. Pat
tcrson favored them with forces
full and convincing talk on the
subject of Federation work.
She is & clear and pleasing
speaker, winning at the outset
the S. mpathy and close attention
of her audience. In very ma
tural and genial manner she laid
before the club members the no.
ticeable and helpful good work
of the various clubs of the State,
stressing specially the great need
of library extension, SO to speak,
and .clvics, or village-improve-
ment. The kind and earnest
words made fine impression, and
no doubt, notable results will
follow. The receptian ended with
refreshments, which we're infor.,
mally passed through the rooms
by pretty and dainty young girls.
There was general handshaking
with Mrs. Patterson, and the
members, one and all, felt glow
of qualification upon so auspicious
an occasion as that of having u
president of the 'sFederation"
make them q special visit.

Will Simply be Merged Into the
Regular Session.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Until
the senate either passes the.C Cuban
bill or rejects that measure, no
proposition to adjourn the extra
session of the Flftyeighth con-
gress will be entertained by the
house of representatives. This is
the declared position of that body
today and indicates no change in
the position first taken by Speaker
Cannon aud his colleagues on this
matter. AS this'fact has become
understood by the leaders of the
senate, there is likely to be no
effort made by that body to bring
the extra session to an end until
it lapses into the regular session
December 7.
The Lancaster ledger. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1852-1905, 1903-11-28

The people have never spoken
on the question of dispensary or
no dispensary. They have never
had opportunity to express them
selves directly upon that Issue.
The vote for men does not always
determine measures. The perso-
nality of a candidate and the en-
ployment of election machinery
are usually the determining factors
in choice of candidates for Office.
The only time the people of the
State ever had opportunity to ex-
press themselves in the matter of
whiskey selling they voted over
whelmingly for prohibition and
politlciansdefeated their expressed
wish and now do not want to give
them the chance of expressing
themselves again.
The, community which has the
evils of the traffic to bear ought to
have the.prlvilege of saying when
they want it discontinued. 1t is
certainly a very arbitrary condi-
ton that now prevails. = Kershaw

Man Who Murdered His Children

Asheville, Nov. "a. The trial
