A most extraordinary disease, ex-
tremely infectious and resembling
smallpox among human beings, has
broken out among the statues in the
Egyptian room of the National mu-
scum here, says an Athens (Greece)
correspondent of the New York
Times. A few days ago the distin-
guished politician and archaeologist,
Mr.. Stephanos Skouloudes, noticed
some strange green marks on one of
the bronze statues of the famous
Egyptian collection presented to the
museum in 1881 by Mr.. Demetrios, of
Alexandria. He at once communi-
Gated his discovery to the curator,
who called in experts to examine the
statue in question. They pronounced
the marks to be due to an infectious
complaint, to which bronze is liable,
and which gradually spreads from
the surface Of the object affected to
the inside. till the whole crumbles
away into dust. The other bronze
statues in the same room were then
inspected, with the result that they

when he started out with the package
he was held up, made to open it, and

The good sense; of the rule is appar-
ent. At the capitol It is against the
rules to carry any sort of bundle into
the building. The fear is that somebody
will carry in a bomb. The rule was
never enforced vigorously until the SEN

that time the public mind became SO
Influenced against the delay in the SEN
ate that violence was feared, and the
rule was put into active operation and

it was again enforced, and it is still

"A typical American: is never at a
loss what to do with himself, writes
WI Tng-Fang in Success II, by
some enchantment he were whisked
away over night and set down in the
middle of Timbuctoo, he II. would,
doubtless, when he should awake the
next morning, be astonished, but be-
fore luncheon he would be busily en-
gagged in some business enterprise, SO
readily does he adapt himself to cir
cumstances. In every instance he
knows how to take care of himself,
but perhaps the real secret of his
success is that he knows how to make
the most of his opportunities.
An American student usually real
ICES that education il the stepping
stone to achievement. He studies
with the expectation of fitting him
self for the profession or occupation
he is ultimately to enter. He makes
the most of himself as q student,
that he may be able to make the
most of himself in his chosen career.
All through his course of study this
idea is instilled into his mind, and
the consequence is that he leaves his
college or university we'll prepared to
enter upon life's activities. He is sure
of himself. I may also add that the
schools of the United States, both
public and collegiate, are the crown
ing glory of this young and great re-
public. No words can bestow upon
them too high praise. No estimate
can be put upon the good which they
are accomplishing in training young
women as well as young men for fu-
ture usefulness. Systematic educa-
ton is reaching its highest form in
this country. It's results are so prac-
teal that the country cannot help
but advance.
The intelligence Of the, average
American is worthy of note. This, I
take it, is due in large measure not
only to the excellent schools, but
also to the innumerable newspapers
and other publications. have found,
in all parts of the country, that in
every town of any size there is pub
lished daily paper, and that the
metropolitan publications circulate
in the homes of the most remote COR
ners of the land.
The abilities to seize his opportu-
mites, which is characteristic of the
American, is seen in the business en-
terprises of the country. It's indus
trial machinery is adjusted to the
production of it's wealth on scale
of unprecedented magnitude. This
is valuable condition. American
brains and American capital are
reaching out to control the markets
of the world, and, with good reason,
other nations are watching the eff
forts with keen interest. China is
but awakening to it's vast possihilT-
ties, and more and more will she vel
come the American merchant and
American commerce within her bor-
ders. American enterprise is now
building q railway from, Hankow to
Canton, and, no doubt, other roads
will soon be building. China's rivers
and harbors are to be improved, and
there will be more and more demand
for American steel, rails and other
products. " =
