e Egyptian Astronomy.

Thestablc at Thebes tells us that
the SUMS journey in relation to some
of the zodiacal consultations was
perfectly familiar 5000 years ago in
Egypt.
The various apparent movements
of the heavenly bodies which are
produced by the rotation and revo-
luton of the earth and the effects
of procession. were familiar to the
Egyptians, however ignorant they
may have been Of the causes. They
carefully studied what they saw and
attempted to put their knowledge
together in the most convenient
fashion, associating it with their
strange imaginings and with their
system Of worship.

EMPTY HOUSE "JUMpERs."
Take Possession and Hold Esrsmises
~ AQatnst All Co7ncra.

Take Possession and Hold Premises
.. Against All coSnere.
AS property agent in London,
let me say that the public can never
form any conception of the number.
Of empty house Jumpers" who exist
u the metropolis and who, secing.a
house empty and apparently neg
iected, boldly break in and take pos
session and continue to hold the
premises against ali comcrs,. even
when they are discovered.
The jumper usually chooses his
house with great deGberation. AS
an instance there is in south Lon
don gentleman, a property owner,
who will keep his houses empty for
years rather than let them at any
thing below the rent he has himself
set. The jumper sees such house
as one of these referred to, and he
notes that it is seldom visited by any
one. He is soon inside, and then no
one thinks of dispossessing him till
the owner happens to como round.
Even then legal process has to be
gone through. I could give you an
instance at Brixton whore the Jump
.er never heard of ON inquiry for two
years. In this case the house was a
furnished one, and the owner, an Of
ticial in India, was absent. At the
same time, too, the jumper was fill
ing the house with lodgers and do
ing very we'll out of the affair. Three
months were expended in legal proc
esses before rcpossession was obtain
ed.
The most dangerous class of jump
er is one similar to those who were
convicted not long ago. In this case
the jumper had taken possession of
the houses-places neglected and be-
longing to absentee owners-and
had boldly sold every scrap of the
building material, and no one. had
ever thought Of questioning his
right, though the houses demolished
were in we'll frequented street, and
every stick and stone was removed.
But small house property is the usu-
Nal mark Of the jumper. - London

About the .;sls t,ffssatisle u 81 seven
teenth century there lived In Venice
Il certain lightly duke SO rich and
powerful as to be feared BY friend
as well as foe, for at was d period
of constant murder and assassina-
ton.
Tt was the custom of this noble
man to give costly banquets in the
great hall Of his palace, hut there,
was always one thing to mar the
festiyity OF the occasion the con-
stant dread Of some secret agent OF
death.
And what tended still moro to
mystery and fear on these occasions
OF festiyity was the presence Of the
Red Mask. Next to, the lord the
feast, on his left hand, always sat
q silent, mysterious figure in a red
domino, with blood red mask con-
cealing every feature.
Before the guests separated he
always rose, gave his hand to the:
noble host and then went slowly,
.golamnly and silently around the ta-
bic, shaking hands with each.
AS all believed that he was the
dukes secret poisoper, he was re-sl
garded with awe and dread and
came In time to be spoken Of and
known as the Red Death. How his
fatal purpose was effected none
could say, but it was coniectured
that upon one Of his jeweled fingers
he wore what was known as The
death ring, ring curiously con-
structed, with deadly poison in the:
interior, which could be injected by
Q: sudden pressure upon q concealed
spring into the hand Of any one TAX
en- In apparent friendship.
Tn the very zenith Of lis life and,
| power the duke one day received the
singular intelligence that gentle
man had made his appearance in
Venice SO closely resembling him in
face and figure that more. than one
| person had mistaken him for his
| grace.

The stranger was found and read

nobleman, who received him in his
private apartments, with only one
attendant present.
The resemblance Of the two was
certainly very striking.
sWho are you pr demanded the
duke in an iimperious tone.

At the mention Of this title the
attendant Of the duke gave o slight,

here" \. & s.
PunctuaI to the appointed time,
the Count of Palermo appeared at
the banGGa.. Of the Duke of Frsnca-s
yella. AT the close came the hand
shaking round Of the dreaded Red
Death.
The count, being q stranger,
seemed the most indifferent of any,
as was natural he should. He pour
ed ont more wine and drank and
then seemed to reflect. In this
mood he held the small paper which
he lad just received in such a way
that he could peruse it without be-.
ing suspected. This paper contain
ed these words: =
SFeign illness and be shown to q private
apartment will be there to complete
the design. :. 3 i IS & rs
In a few minutes the duke, who
had been furtiyely Watching the
count, remarked, with. seeming con-
Germ, that he feared his lordship
was I'LL. .aIr
The mobiles exchanged glances,
and each breathed freer as he fan
eied he had discovered the victim in,
another. than himself. 4
But the count, instead of getting
better, seemed to grow more faint,
and his kind host suggested that he
should be shown TO a private apart
ment and his chief physician be
summoned. al3
He offered his arm to the count;
who leaned heavily on it, and thus
left the hall. Passing through an.
anteroom, they entered room hung
(, with damask and richly furnished.
The Red Mask, who had left the
banquet hall before them, was stand
ing here as if awaiting their COM
ing. As the duke assisted his guest
/ to divan the Red Mask quietly
closed and bolted the door.
Then, producing a small rope
with the slipknot Of q hangman, he
glided up to the duke as he bent
over the count and, throwing the
moose around his neck, drew it tight
and strangled him before he could
comprehend his murderous design
and raise his voice for help.
When the duke was quite dead,
sthe mask was removed, and the face
Of Antonio appeared hefoF@ the
count.
"Quick, my lord!" said Antonio,
pale and trembling at what he had
done. sDisrobe,, put on the dress
Of the duke, return to the hall and
be lord of the palace. If you sue
ceed in deceiying the assembled
guests, which I trust your close re-
semblance will enable you to do,
we are safe; if you fail, we are
lost"
Assisted by Antonio, the Count
of Palmera was soon dressed in the
gorgeous robes Of the Duke Of
Francayella,. and the counterfeit
was so perfect that none but a
wife could have detected the diff
ference.
/ The plan Of the iniqnitous schem-
er succeeded perfectly, and all the
guests that night retired in the be-
lief.that the false duke WIS the real.
The next day the Count Of Pal
I mere appeared IN st, Marks place
ana other parts Of Venice in his own
proper person. s
This destroyed the suspicion that
he had been poisoned, as all at the
banquet believed.
In fact, it was only through the
8 dying confessions of the count him
! self that the truth came o,;s at! all,
which many would not believe even
I then
Long before this event, however,
I the Red Death had ceased to ap-
pear because of the real death Of
Antonio, whom his new master had
murdered in turn for fear Of being

Here is a citizen who endorses oul
claim:
James Pointing. now retired, of III
Cedar street, says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills stopped an attack Of rheumatism
in the arm, shoulder and upper parts
of my body which physicians and the
use of unlimited quantities of medicine
failed even to check. I suffered Sc
verely, being often so bad that I could
not walk down stairs. Reading about
Doan's Kidney Pills early in the fall Of

war he enlisted in the army but his
mother procured his release because of
his youth. He then drifted west and she
had lost track of him until she learned
accidentally a few weeks ago of his
death. At the time of his death it was
supposed by tic authorities here that his
people lived at Richmond, Va. but eff

course proved unavailing.
Ii was known here, at the time of his
death, that he had a wife in Salt Lake.
but it seems he had married after COM

his marriage and his wife did not know
where his mother lived. At the time of
his death his wife had a suit for divorce
pending. The matter seemed to worry
him greatly and is believed to have been
