THE SUBURBAN GIGGLE.
Mir<hIess, spasmodic Cachinnation Peculiar to Some 0ut-of-
 Town Reside nts.

"There is no doubt about it, in my opinion" remarked fair suburbanite, according to the New York Tribune. People deteriorate by living in the country. The men give up dressing
 Tor dinner and become slovenly in
 sheir apparel and careless about their manners, and the women acquire cer- tain rusticity, which is very recognize able. Tie funny part of it, too," she continued, lis that they all acquire a certain resemblance to each other in app:arance and manners. This shows itself especially among the young women who have been born and bred in genteel suburbs. l do not mean common people at all," she explained. II am talking of those of a good social class, who are we'll connected and rea- sonably we'll off, but who, nevertheless, are hopelessly provincial. As belong to the species myself" she interpolat- ed, II suppose can say what please, for make no doubt that an as bad as the rest. Have you ever noticed, by the by, how many country women have the same curious, nervous little laugh? Now, am sure that must be due to suburban living, for I have heard precisely the same giggle at widely divergent places. It is per- fectly mirthless. spasmodic cachinna- tion, delivered either before or after a sentence, as: How are you, hee-hee- heeY or I nearly missed my train. Hee-hee!' And so on. One woman l know has got so into the habit of pre- missing everything she says with what call the suburban giggle that not long ago, when met her wearing mourn ing and spoke to her sympathetically
 she answered me: eHee-hee! Yes, my 1 poor aunt is dead, and am going in ! for the funeraI!'"

IN THE ALLIGATOR PONDS.
The Reptiles Collect in Great Num- bers in the swarnps of the
 Florida Coast.

Alligator hunting used to be wanton slaughter; now there is well-defined code of ethics for the sportsman. Ten years ago it would have been hard to overestimate the number of alligators in Florida. Since then the skin hunt CTS have made such inroads upon them that they are now almost difficult to find in some localities. The home of the alligator is the Great Cypress swamp west of the Everglades. In the dry season the water recedes from great portions of this tract, leaving many small ponds, in which alligators collect in great numbers.
 once set up my camera on the bor- der of one of these ponds, which was nearly circular in form, about 200 feet in diameter, and surrounded by dense vegetation, says writer in Country Life in America. At first the reptiles disappeared, but after the camera was adjusted a peculiar nasal sound, like the cawing of a crow, initiated with closed nostrils, immediately dotted the surface with eager eyes, and soon brought scores of gators into full view. One of the pictures then ob- tained shows 73 alligators.

There is no more energtic worker

There is no more energtic worker in the senate this year than Senator McCumber of North Dakota who is striving to secure consideration of his pure food bill The senator says that he has strong hopes that as soon as the statehood bill was disposed of the pure food bill would be enacted. 'The vital interests of every consumer are concerned in this legislation" said the senator, land for that reason the senate is most desirous of taking the measure up. My bill, which is sub- stitute for that passed by the house, is not so drastic in it's provisions, but would prove none the less effectual in preventing the adulteration of food products, to the injury especially of women and children in delicate health. With realization of the great neces- sity for such legislation and of the fact that the consumers are practically dependent on the action of congress for protection, the leaders of the sen ate have given me their assurance that they will take up the bill at the first opportunity"

Every indication now, says a corre- spondent, points to compromise in the statehood situation which will provide for the admission of two states, one Oklahoma, and the other New Mexico and Arizona combined. At the present time Senator Quay is endeavoring to secure provision au- thorizing Arizona to separate itself from New Mexico and assume state hood when it shall have complied with certain prescribed conditions. This is with the hope of satisfying the demo crats who have stood by MT Quay throughout the fight, but 1t is opposed by many republicans who desire the entire credit of admitting the new states, with the hope of influencing them to go republican. Senator AL drich for the opposition, and Senator Quay for statehood, when seen recent ly by your correspondent denied that any proposition had been made by either side, nevertheless the above suggestions were discussed by a conference consisting of Senators Al drich, Hale, Lodge and Quay. No ac- tual proposition will be made until the situation has been so thoroughly canvassed that there will remain no possibility of rejection.

The best feature in the stock mar ket is the improvement in the none tary situation, says Banker Henry Clews. All indications now point to comparatively easy money until the usual demand for currency sets in next fall, excepting of course the tenn porary disturbance incidental to April settlements which usually reaches it's climax the middle of the month. Cur rency is returning more freely from the interior, and bank reserves show a rising tendency in consequence. Le- gitimate trade demands are large, but these are readily met so long as syn. dicate and speculative operations con. tinue on as limited scale as at pres. ent. There has been more or less ex- pectation of gold shipments, but these have been delayed by several consid- erations. In the first place, our com mitments abroad, though still large have been much reduced; in the sec ond place. the principal foreign money markets are comparatively easy be cause both the French and TransyaaI loans have been temporarily post poned; and, finally, our exports of do. mestic produce have been sufficiently heavy to ward of, any outward move ment of gold. The French loan which was expected early in 1903 seems to have been indefinitely de layed, apparently because of unsatis factory domestic political conditions and the Transvaal loan when it ap pears is not likely to create any dis turbance, being largely matter O.

ANCIENT HIGH PRIEST FOUND.
Mummy of Egyptian Buried 4,OOO Years Ago Unearthed by
 German Explorers.

The German Oriental society has been most successful in its explora- tions at Abu-Sir in Egypt, and most in teresting finds" were distributed among the Berlin museums during the month of October. One of the most inn portant discoveries was a perfectly preserved mummy of Jen Elm Jechvet, the high priest of the temple, who died about 2,oo0 years before Christ. The body was found in a family vault, which also contained the remains of his priest and reader and their wives.
 Only three tombs of such an age have been found in good preservation during the last century, and this is the first time that the contents have been brought safely to Europe. Jen lay in his coffin, enveloped in a brown linen shroud, just as he had been placed there, 4,ooo years ago. In accordance with the fashion of the time, he has small side whiskers, and longer tuft on his chin, and his eyes are made to appear unnaturally long by means of the careful application of rouge. The wig, which is large and parted down the middle, has a bluish tint yerging on green, and must originally have been the color of lapis lazuli, in imita- tlon of the hair worn by Egyptian gods.
 The mummy was lying slightly on the left side, says the London Anti qnary, as Egyptians sleep to-day, and the head rested on support such as is still in use in the Sudan. The eyes are turned toward the rising sun. Two stalls were found beside the body, and little wooden sta.ne-

 The facilities of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co in Water bury from . working mans point of view are abominable, and the fares out rageous. At least four out of six rides the writer takes are standing ones, insufficient cars at busy times being the general rule. The practice of charging 10 cents from the center to Naugatuck is q preposterous extor- tion. The above figures and statements prove conclusively that cents from Waterville to Naugatuck is ample. Hundreds of people pay cents for . few hundred yards ride, an increase in the number of cars running in Wa terbury with reduction of fares to ? cents would without q doubt result i'll doubling the number of travels.
