Several private collectors and some mu- seums have large blocks of most bril- liant coloring and artisticA=design, and from them we can imagine what an inn posing spectacle the great stautue must have been before the Persians and the Mohammedans destroyed it's glory
 While it is still an impressive picture, it has no beauty whatever. The nose, the lips and other features have been mutilated by vandals, among whom the French soldiers under Napoleon are said to have been the most vicious, but the defacement began before the Chris tian era, when Cambyses invaded Egypt aud made it a province of the Persian empire The expression upon the face of the famous statue is blank. Poets and imagintive people have ex- pended much eloquence in describing lines which do not appear and are purely factiful, and we have been told again and again that the solemn inn mobility of it's expression is "the ideal of mystery in stone." One writer that read the other day described it as having "a comeliness not of this world g mold of beauty now orgotten-forgot- ten because Greece drew forth Cytherea from the flashing foam of the Aegean, beauty" While this sounds fine it is preposterous rot.-F'rom the Washing ton Times.

NO MORE A MYSTERY.

It Is Nothing More Than Gigantic
 Image of Ra-Harmachis.
 Scientists of Washington confirm the report which have been in circulation recently to the effect that the mystery surrounding the Sphinx has been solved. At the Smithsonian Institute it was said that the stone enigma of the desert is nothing more than a gigan- tiv image of Ra-Harmachis, the god of morning and the conqueror of dark ness, hence it faces the east. This dis covery was made recently my means of the inscriptions on the walls of a temple which was unearthed by exca- vators.
 Scholars uncovered the foundations of the great statue and have brought to light many interesting features which until recently were unknown. The temple surrounding the base was intended for the worship of Harmachis. and several chambers hewn in the rock were the tombs of kings and priests devoted to the worship. In 1896 there was discovered a stone cap with a sa- cred asp carved on the forehead, which GDUlilA like royal helmet, and must have ad- ded immensely to it's grandeur, parti- cularly if it was gilded, as it is be- lieved it was.
 The Sphinx is not an independent structure. The body and head are act ually hewn out of the solid rock. but much sandstone masonary was built into make the outlines perfect and cov- CT defects in the material. This rein- forcement of the original rock is very apparent now to a close observer, but originally they were concealed, for scientists believe that the entire image was once covered with enamel. Indeed. 1t is possible even now to find fragrants still adhering to the surface with re- semble porcelain tiles found in tombs and the ruins of the ancient palaces.

Jap. who is the embodiment of "wiri- ness. and who seems incapable of fa- tigue. though his sustenance is only a few grains of rice. The Japanese have practiced a. system of physical exercise for over 2,50O years, and to this is due the plendid physique which enables them to withstand fatigue. They have been called the healthiest, strongest fand happiest men and women in the wofld,,n and the credit for this must be given to jiu-jitsu, the system referred to-
 There are no less than six different systems of Jiu-jitsu, but every one IS based on diet and the healthy state of the body.

Four years are needed for the full development of tho system: years of regular patient practice, and gradu- ally the pupil begins to feel it's inf1u- ence.

 But what will surprise most people is that something mostly needed beyond all these-equanimity of temper--is es- sential.

Rosa Naynon Cominc

A superb collection of birds will be presented as a feature of Manager Polls bill next week. The act has met with approval wherever presented and received many fattering evidences of approval from the press, of which the following is a type:
 We have seen dogs, cats. horses, ele- plants and seals show intelligence al- most human, and now Rosa Naynon shows what birds can do. Miss Nay non has taken about fifty birds. most of which appear to belong to the parrot family, and trained them to do all kinds of wonderful things. They turn somersaults, do tricks on a trapeze, perform on triple bars, work a see-saw and do duty as the horse and driver of a miniature carriage, all in way that shows a careful and patient training. It Is a very pretty act and the bright colors of the birds add to it's attrac- tiveness."

THE NUTRITIvE PROPERTIES OF
 MILK

This article contains within itself all the clements of nutrition, and contains them, moreover, ill the most digestible form. An adult person may live entire |ly upon fresh cows milk; and many who are so dicted in our hospitals re- turn to their homes in a better condl- tion than when they left them. The amount of real nourishment in milk is far greater than is generally supposed. | It has been demonstrated that ten grains of new cows milk, when con- sumed in the body, produces sufficient heat to be equal to lifting power of 1,26e pounds one foot high' These facts alone should bring home to our minds the great importance of infiuen- cling our legislators to secure for the public regular supply of fresh cows milk.
 Recently a form of milk has been put upon the market which experience has proved to be perfect food and which lis as easily and completely digested as any substance known. Happily, it is Inot one of those mysterious prepara- lions which so often fascinate the pub

Grnnd Opera Houss.

The stormy weather had no effect upon the attendance at the Grand opera house yesterday, the house was packed at both performances. All Leach and '.The Three Rosebuds'' were at their very best and well pleased the large audience present. The performance will be repeated to-day, matinee and night.
 Across the Pacific the snappy melo- drama by Charles E. Blaney and J. J. McClusky will be the attraction at the Grand opera house Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week. The pro- duction is well staged, both scenically and from the acting standpoint. The play begins in a mining town in Mon tana. then the San Francisco China town scene is shown, then the dock scene with the departure of a transport with the volunteers for the Philippines, while the last act shows General Law tons headquarters and Q blockhouse that is attacked by the enemy and is
 defended. The play itself is full of life and action, with a largely defined thread of comedy from beginning to end.
