So good that the merriness digests

merry at meat that the melancholy
keeps the meat from digesting.
The stomach is a supremacy sensi.

organ. wholly under the dominion of

alyzed in its enterprises by the feel

Moral: Be as merry a. a marriage

election code, is one which contains
no mark or indication whatever of the
purpose or intention of the voter. 1t
is ballot which is returned to the
election inspectors in precisely the
same condition as it was given to the
voter
Why do 1000 or 3,0e1 persons each
year in New York go through the un.
necessary formality of voting blank
ballots? 1t is one OF the questions
which no one has been able to answer
though there are some explanations OF
it which are at least reasonable.
There are some illiterate men who
are timid about revealing their Hitter
acy, and they avoid the risk of doina
so by voting blank. Then there are
citizens unconcerned in the outcome OF
an election who are induced to register
and to vote. They do vote, but their
Indifference to the result is revealed in
a blank ballot.
There are, again, those who become
ratified in the polling place and find
escape from their perplexity by return
ing the ballot given them folded but
unmarked to the inspectors.

am not an engineer, but it is apparent
TO any sane observer that an enormous
amount of money will be required to
complete the task SO disastrousIy I'M
dertaken by France.
And | want to say that there was
never such a Belshazzar's feast seen
in the world as went on at the isthmus
during the time work was being car
ried on there. 1t passes human belief.
Why, one could scarcely walk upon the
coast near Panama for the broken
! fragments of champagne bottles
thrown there by the reckless and
spendthrift officers who were supposed
to be soberly attending to their duties
as superintendents of the canal CON
struction. For hundreds and hundreds
of yards along the beach near the city
the ground is literally covered with
these evidences of wastefulness and
extravaganza. And that was only a
grain of sand in the desert, when all
their orgies are taken into considera-
ton. The very dredges that were used
to carry the dirt from the excavations
cut to be dumped in the sea were fitted
up with cabins on the roofs, and there
under silken awnings the officers of
the company sat and slipped Their
wine and enjoyed the breezes in COM
pany with scarlet women especially i'm
ported from Paris for their pleasure
The putting of the dredge engines was
mingled with the sound of merriment
and drunken laughter, and the invested
savings Of a nation were being squand-
cred by recreant officers in such an
orgy as was never known since the
first man appeared in the garden of
Eden.
Colon to-day stands upon founda-
ton composed in fair part of the splen-

of steamers by these men, in order
that they might purchase more and
make a profit on it. Directors general
were changed every three months, and

was done that all might have a chance

OPERATE ON A RICH LABoRER.
Henry X. McHarg Jr., Hurt While at
Work in His Fathers Mines.

Stamford, Conn.-Henry K. Nc
Harg, Jr., who, though son of mil
Iionaire, went to work as laborer
in one of his fathers iron mines, un-
derwent a delicate operation today at
mis- parental home, on Strawberry
hill The operation was for the re-
lief of an injury to his bark. received
while working ia the m'ne. 1t was
performed by specialists from New
York, with the assistance Of DR.. Pier
son and two other local surgeons.
At Mr.. McHarg's home it was said
tonight that the youth was doing nice
ly and a speedy recovery was looked
for.
Young McHarg is tall and powerful
for his years. When he went to work
N the mines for s140 per Cay to learn
the business from the bottom up the
country was astonishci Many of his
friends said he would cult soon. But
h. liked it, and made rapid progress.
From early morning until i at night
he worked as a laborer. At night he
took eff his oyeralls. donued evening
dress, and took part in such social
gayety as Rddford, Va, Affords.
This went OH through last winter.
McHarg took brief vacation in the
summer, but went back TO the mines
after it, to work harder than ever.
One day Just before thanksgiving he
" as at work about big machine when
something gave way in lis back. He
suffered much from the injury, but,
boylike, paid little attention to it.
When he came home from thanksgiv-
ing his condition was so serious that
an operation was decided Upon.

OPENING EGYPTIAN TOMRS.
Prehistoric Cemeteries Contain Many
Books and VaIuabIes.

Mr. John Ward, F. S. A, writing in
the London Antiquary, gives some
very interesting details of excavation
work carried on up the Nile few
months ago. Many thousand toIlbs,
mostly prehistoric, have been opened.
Most of them had no inscriptions
whatever, but in some cylinders and
scarabs were found, with inscriptions
so old that it will require great study
to decipher their meaning. Most OF
the remains are mere skeletons, and
have never been mummified These
were generally found lying on their
side, their face to the east, their
knees drawn up to their chins Near
ly all of the skulls still possessed ex-
cellent teeth. Some exquisitely form
ed alabaster dishes and vases, not
turned in the lathe, but wrought by
hand, and a cylinder of solid gold
were found in the tombs, nearly all OF
which had been tunneled into by rob-
bers thousands of years ago.
In one tomb a fine papyrus was dis
covered; the owner had it buried be-
side him, that he might peruse it at
his leisure in the future state. 1t
was a portion of the Egyptian Bibley
the Book of the Dead" Many Of
the larger tombs had faeades built Of
brick, with one or two chambers out
side the rock-cut portion. Others
were closed by hut-shaped erections
over the mouth of the shaft. and it
was very extraordinary, says Mi.
Ward, on descending one of these
shafts to see several lateral chambers
cut in the crumbling rock, each with
its CHASTITY occupant, placidly 1yffg
on the side, its hand up to its head,
or else with the knees drawn an to
the chin. But the most curious style
OF burial, and one that has never been
seen before, so far as known, is the
following: Numbers Of boxes were
found, especially in the northern part
of the huge cemetery, about three
feet by two feet, and nine inches
deep. In each of these there was
found complete adult skeleton.
How the ancient iolk were doubled up
into such small space passes belief,
and yet they had been boxed up with
the flesh on their bones. Some SIM
lar boxes were found. but made of RI
baked clay

BLANK BALLOT MYSTERY.
Three Thousand of Them Cast at Each
Election in Greater New York.

AT the recent election 2,100 citi-
zens of New York county and 1900
voters in the other counties of the
Greater New York cast blank ballots.
There are usually about 5000 blank
ballots cast.

thousand citizens each year should
take the trouble to appear at the places
of registry to answer the questions
necessary for the enrolment of their
names, to attend the polling place on
election day and all for the apparent
purpose of casting blank vote, count

didate, when precisely the same result
could be attained by remaining away
from the polls for registration of vot-
ing.

THE CIVIL HERO.

In New York last night a fright
fully injured man lay pinioned under

shift its position at any moment. He
was shrieking with pain. Then came
the surgeon.
Though warned that he might be
crushed the surgeon crawled under
the car and administered hypoder-
