DIR. Thornton's first impulse had been
to hurry them into the house, but as
the quivering lips of the poor old lady
caught his eyes his stately figure stiff
ened.
Clasping a hand of each, he pressed
his lips to his aunt's wrinkled cheek,
then in a naughty, clear voice an
nounced: MY friends, it affords me
deepest pleasure to introduce to you
my aunt and uncle, Mr.. and Mrs. Bis

pleasure than to have this couple, the
dearest friends of my boyhood, under
my own roof"
DR.. Thornton glanced around to en-
counter the clear, steadfast eyes Of
Doris HOLSTER.
"Dr. Thornton, I beg permission to
shake hands with your aunt and
uncle. 1 am aware" with a bewitch-

beautiful hazel eyes.

PIRATES IN HISTORY.

There was a worldwide gulf be-

Spanish ferocity that taught the bucca-

they were. they were not utterly des-
picable, for they fought marvelously.
LOlonnois at MaracaibO Morgan sack
ing Panama with his 1.200 ruffians,
put the fear of death into the
Spaniards. But neither Spaniard nor
buccaneer could stop the growth of
commerce and civilization, and early
in the eighteenth century the great
fleets that followed LOlonnois and
Morgan had dwindled to a crazy ship

scoundrels as the pirates Of New

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

The way of the world is wonderful
way
Wonderful in its madness!
'Tis a mad endeavor from day to day
That ends each night in sadness.
For men are greedy to compass wealth
With schemes unjust and vicious,
Or seek for pleasures by sun or stealth,
And call their sins deliciousl
The way of the world is sorrowful
way
Sorrowful in its grieving!
'Tis a grievous fear that friends betray,
And none is worth believing.
For men will sell their honor for gain,
And women their virtue give
Hror ripples of joy on seas of pain
That food the years they live.
The way of the world is sickening
way
Sickening in its meanness!
'Tis a mean existence with husks Away
To pail the soul with leanness.
Far better the ways of Christ, with
peace,
With rags, and a crust and coldl
A little from God, with heart content,
Is better than boards of gold!

which the objects were found disturbed or less preserved. Occasionally rarer features are illustrated. In the tomb of one Mehti-em-hat were number Of warships. In the bow of one, by the side of the lookout stands negro soldier, bow and arrows ill hand Six sailors are rowing, others are hoisting the sail, which is preserved. Nearer the stern, and partly under the shade of a canopy which is protected seemingly by studded leather and by shields placed upon 1t, are seated two men playing a game of chess upon a table between them. A sheaf of spears is at hand, suspended from below the cano- py.
 In the tomb of Antef, a courier, the boats had double steering oars. There was also the model of a white spotted OK led by men, and in the tomb of one Khety there was further shown the actual sacrifice of an OK of this kind.
 Objects of other significance were also found in the tombs Musical instru- ments-a Tyre, two flutes, and drum with barrel body of wood and parch- ment, ends bound in the usual network fashion with thongs of leather. Basket and wicker work was plentiful, much or it we'll preserved, and some examples curiously analogous to the work done in the cases and in higher Egypt of to-ay. An object of special interest architec- turally is g. wooden capital in the form of a lily. Vases of stone of ornamental forms, beads of amethyst, comedian and other stanes, as well as glazed scarabs of the early kind. and some quantity jewelry were also found.
 It seems clear from the titles recorded on the inscriptions, and from the tomb furniture itself, that this metropolis represents the middle classes, the mi nor officials and distinguished women of the locality, during the early middle empire. Many of the new tonbs are those of percentages whose names and portraits appear in the tombs Of the princes and totables forming the gal lery above.
 The opening of each tomb was re-
 corded by photography as the eXcaVa tion proceeded step by step. AS re- suit some four hundred and fifty nega- tives. illustrating these observations and the funeral deposits, have been se- cured for the expedition, and will be
 published, it may be hoped, as soon as 1 possible.
 The objects themselves, it is pleasing | to know, will enrich the museums Of our versities-Oxford, Cambridge
 and Liverpool being represented among
 the patrons-as we'll as some of the
 best known private collections of Egyp-
 tian antiquities in. England. Previous
 to distribution, by arrangement of the
 director of the Society of Antiquarie~
 Honorary treasurer off the excavations | committee), it is hoped to hold an ex-
 hibition of these antiquities at Burlng-
 ton House during part of July in the
 present year.~-John Garstang in the

colors; then you must rely on form. Again, some forms of crystals are identical in form with others of an entirely different order and you may have to distinguish them by color. Shading, especially in transparent crys- tals, should be used 'sparingly, except when the shadow is very pronounced, or when the bases of the crystals descend into the dark depths and recesses of the goode cavern. To bring out distinctly the forms of white or translucent crys- tals it may be well to shade dark back of them.
 Sometimes row of quartz in the center of vein is locked in the embrace of an opposite set, like row of clench- ed teeth. Occasionally these are beautifully tinted with amethystine milky white opaline quartz, agate or chalcedony, and back of that dense layer of red, yellow, or variegated jas per. In drawing crystals the main point to be aimed at is their character istic shape or grouping, so that any one seeing the sketch may recognize them as belonging to particular family. When crystals are very small, as in twin crystals of tin, or in crystals of telluride ores, it is legitimate to magni- fly the crystal so as to bring out it's dis tinctive feature. Some ores form a series of concentric rings, like green malachite and blue azurite of copper; they had better be represented by their natural vivid colors.-Mines and Min erals

 The Yale class of 1878 will celebrate it's twenty-fifth reunion during the coming commencement. The class has engaged the swell student apartment house, No. 250 York street. for it's head quarters. This class numbers among its members some of Yale's most promi- nent alumni and the committee ill charge of the arrangements is sparing neither time nor moiey to make the celebration noteworthy success.
 The class secretaries of 'SS g., '93 S. and 1900 s. have announced that the headquarters of these classes will be established In the Tontine during com- mencement. The 1900 s. class supper will also be held there on Tuesday next.

 At Shelf. the preparations are also being pushed in a hurry in order that there may be no delay of any sort. The class historians are hard at work put ting the finishing touches to their work. and everything is graduation.
 A few of the commencement visitors are he:e already. but the crowds will come to-day. Then the host of fair invaders will take possession of the uni versity for many days. The weather man is not as cheerful as he might be in regard to this celebration. He says that the present outlook is about the same as that which We have been hay ing in the last week. or so. While there will probably be blue skies some of the time, the probability is that there will be frequent showers like those of yesterday.

CRYSTALS AND GEMS.
Beauties That May Be seen Through a
 Magnifying Glass.

Beauties That May Be seen Through a
 Magnifying Glass.
 Sketching crystals is fine and delicate work, requiring much study, a sharp pointed, hard pencil, and steady head. First of all, having selected your nest of crystals, it is we'll to study all the books have to say about them, their angles, cleavage planes, luster, etc., then take a large ore magnifying glass and examine them closely under it. An un- expected world of beauty will thus often tie geode or cavity, such as is common in the zeolite class in volcanic rocks, you may see the fairy-like cavern lined with sparkling gems, from which radi- ate tufts of fine hairs with big gem crystal in the midst; sometimes the caverns contain purple gems of ame- thyst or fiuor spar. You will observe crystals that have been stunted in their growth or misshappen by the pressing against them of other stronger growing crystals. You may see fine striae or parallel lines or indications of twinning of crystals; you will notice the lines of clevage characteristic of certain crystals and invisible to the naked eye, also crystals that have been broken and faulted and recemented by mineral matter.
 Having thus thoroughly studied the crystals, place them on piece of white paper in strong light and shadow. Draw the outlines clear and strong, and the angles and faces of the crystals sharply. Some crystals resemble one another so closely, like certain forms of calcite and quartz, that only by very careful drawing can one be dis tinguished from the other, especially without the use of color. In highly col ored ores and crystals some beautiful realistic effects have been attained by photolithography in colors, but many ores and crystals have no distinctive
