the more nutritious of the two. The
chestnut has only SO per cent, water

Queer OdOr of Mummies.

You may put mummy In a glass
case and seal it Theoretically SO that
no corroding air can get within, but
it will still exhale its odor. Four or
five thousand years. it would seem,
should exhaust all olfactory qualities,
but experience teaches us that these
smells remain while the origin of their
scents is unknown to us. They are
today as much a mystery to embalm
ers as when the bodies were put in
the bath of nature.

we find another act in which flute
bale and golfer were roasted to a
turn and prohibited under severe
penalties.
The unregenerate of Scotland were
much given to playing football on
Sunday. At first it interfered with
the practice of archery on the Sew
enth Day, and later, when the Sab
batarian movement had acquired
prominence, it kept people away from
church,so in 1891 we find the town
council of Edinburgh strictly forbid
ding the playing Of matches on the
Sabbath.
Not only was the game itself
rough, but it attracted great con-
courses of people who were willing
at all times to jump in with clubs
and other weapons and resent I'M
fairness or poor decisions. For
some, reason Shroye Tuesday was the
great date for annual contests, cor
responding to what Thanksgiving Day
used to be in this country. On this
day the crowds swurmed out to the

have, their conduct before and after

/, 1902, authority was granted for the
construction of two battleships after
ward named the Connecticut and
Louisiana, each $50 feet long, 76 Is
feet wide, with a draft of "A feet 6
inches. A short time after this action
of Congress, the Navy Department de-
cided to have one of the battleships
constructed by private parties, the
Government endeayoring to build the
other.
Government Go Bad Start Too.
The contract for the Louisiana was
let to the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Company who laid the
keel for that vessel on February Z,
1903, while the Government was de-
layed in the construction of it's vessel
so much that the keel was not laid
down until March 10 of the same
year. The Government was further
| delayed in building the Connecticut
owing to non arrival of necessary ma
| chinery and armor plate, yet with all
| of these drawbacks the latest figures
published by the Navy Department
show the Governmcnt-built boat
| farther advanced -oward completion
than that being erected by a private
concern. The Louisiana was the first
to receive its christening, having been
launched August 81, 1904; the Con-
necticut did not take to the waves
until September % of the same year.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard, where the
| Connecticut is being built Is now en-
ploying over 1000 men on the battle
ship and it is stated that there is
| still room for 200 more workmen.
With the rapid progress now being
made on the vessels it is estimated
| that they will be ready to go into
| commission by June of next year.
Most Formidable of War S hips.
| These battleships when completed
will be among the most formidable
war vessels of the world; the main
battery on each viii consist of four
12-inch, eight S-inch and twelve Z
| inch rifles; the secondary battery will
have twenty 3-inch rapid fire guns,
twelve 3-pounders, eight 1-pounders
and a number of rapid fire guns of
/ smaller calibre. There will also be
four submerged torpedo tubes The
ships will have ample protection by
heavy armor ranging in thickness
! from nine to eleven inches. The con-
tract calls for vessels of 10000 tons
displacement, with a steaming capaci-
| ty, at 10 knots per hour, of 5000 miles
| without recoaling. They are expect
ed, however, to make IS knots per
! hour at the official trial. Each ship
will be manned by S55 officers and
men. The contract price of the Lou
isiana is $3,99OOO0 while the Connect.

ECHOES OF THE WAR.

Mr.. a. A. Lamon, of Harper's Ferry,
while here on a short visit last week,
told us of curious incident connected
with the mountain fire which ragged ,on
I.oudoun heights, just across the Shen-
andoah river from the Ferry, several
weeks ago. The fire was burning v it'll
great intensity, and suddenly a series
of explosions were heard which startled
the Inhabitants, and the concussiCn
was % great that it broke the windows
of sons of the buildings in Harper's
Ferry. The explosion was caused by
the bursting of shells, which We're
thrown on the heights, at the time that
General Miles surrendered to Stouewall
Jackson in 1862 aud failed to explode ,
These dogs of war had slumbered for
over forty years and Were aroused by
the fierce heat of the fire, and brought
back with great vividness the echoes of
long ago.

LAST WEEK OF THE SHEP-
HERD KING"

The return engagement OF Wright
Lorimer's big spectacle drama, THE
Shepherd King" to the Academy OF
Music, Baltimore, has been somewhat
like the home coming of the Prodigsl
Son, so hearty has been its welcome.
BEGINNING with the first perfor-
nance, special matinee Monday,
the audiences that have greeted the
star and his play have been immense,
and the predictions, based upon fhe
advance sale of seats, to the effect that
1.-THE Shepherd King" would break
even its own record during the second
visit seem more likely than ever 10 be
fulfilled. The spectacular beauty
OF tn scenic production an the dra
matte strength Of the play itself seem
to have made a powerful appeal in
Baltimore and vicinity and one that
has touched all classes.
The audiences that have filled the
Acaiemy thus far during this en-
gag lnent are Of a more cosmopolitan
'natura than those whica graced Mr.
Loriner's first visit In fact the
regular theatregoers are now in the
minority, and at least good half Of
the people who witness each perfor
mauce are of that class which does
not attend the theatre at all unless
they are offered inducements sufficient
to justify their conduct. So far as
known net one OF those who have no
belief in the theatre as a place OF
pastime but who have been persuaded
to see The Shepherd King" has felt
anything but great satisfaction in
having done SO.
The theatre parties that have come
from various points in the state of
Maryland and from the southern part
Of Pennsylvania have apparently been
very well pleased and have gone home
feeling that the pleasure given them
by the play was entirely commensurate
with their expended money and
energy.
