There are many such objects in this little exhibitiOn-Objects in this little exhibition-objects found in. the Greco Roman settlements by Drs. Grenfell and Hunt. There are beautiful bits of glass mosaic-scent and perfume bottles with wax stOppers, left on some Roman ladys toilet table-reed pens with sharp split points, to write on wax-ivcry hairpins, egg Whippers, all the small devices of luxury known to an advanced civilization. These are vestiges of the last period of Egypt's long civilizatiOn-the eve before the long night of Arab barbarism.
 At the other end, from the earliest dawn of time, there is a collection of the rudest flint instruments used by prehistoric man in the Nile Valley, and i found on the tops of the hills at
 Thebes. From a study of these fiints
 and the positions in which they are found the Psychologists are gradually deciphering an ancient civilization far l back behind the earliest Pharaoh-be- hind the great pre- -Pharaonic civiliza- 1 tiCn that occupied another 5000 years
 perhaps the very first beginning of
 man. These flints belonged to men
 who lived at least 10000 years ago.
 Then the Nile Valley was filled almost
 to the summits of the hills with a
 great flood of water. and man fore i gathered on the mountain summits, 8 precariOus tenant of bare world. 1 Such have been the results of past
 work, but Dr. Petrie's work in the Si-
 mai district opens a new field. Some
 of the higher critics" tell us nowa-
 days that no exodus took place. These
 discoveries at Sinai do not seem to
 support them, but rather to confirm
 narrative which, if entirely untrue,
 is certainly one of the most amazing
 bits of convincing fiction in all litera- ture.
 But may there not be more secrets
 hidden under those yellow sands? This
 was the track by which the Jews are
 said to have wandered. Here was the
 mountain whence came the laws of 1 conduct which the world still reveren-
 ces above all others.

HIGH CLASS.

A well-known New York composer, who had long felt the need of a reputa- ble firm of agents to undertake the dis posal of his compositions, read recently the advertisement of a bureau which offered to place musical and other man. uscripts with publishers. Their charges were fairly high, and the advertisement stated expressly that only work "of the highest grade'' was handled by the bureau. The composer, thinking that this was probably the opportunity he had been looking for, sought the ad- dress given in the advertisement. En- tering the office of the concern, he found the manager, in his shirt-sleeves, sitting at typewriter.
 "I understand you place musical com positions for commission?" inquired the composer.
 That's right" was the answer; "but we only handle first-class stuff"
 ''Do you suppose" continued the composer, you could place this Sane tus' of mine?"
 "sure!" replied the manager, confi- dently. ''W1iy, last season we placed Binks Mothers With the Angles and he made over two thousand on it."- Harper's Weekly.

HARTARD f6, BOWDOTN o.
Frequent FumbIing and UnscientifiC
 Plays by Both Teams.


 Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 4.-Harvard defeated Bowdoin to-day in football by the score of 16 to 0 in a game which was characterized by frequent fumbl- ing and unscientifice play by both teams. Captain Hurley and Quarter back Starr were not in the lineup for Harvard, and this in measure slow ed the work of the Cambridge players, Brill kicked off for Harvard and Bowdoin finding the Harvard line firm. kicked to middlefield. From that point Harvard carried the ball to Bowdoin's S goal line and sent Hanley over for the first touchdown. Cuniff missed the goal. In the second half play of both teams fell off badly squires went over the goal line and White kicked the goal When play was resumed Harvard fum- bled the ball four times and in addi- ton was penalized thirty yards for 1lObd1ilS' NGWlldll WeHL over TOT the third touchdown.

tors have contributed to bring about this condition-first, the increase in the cooperage manufacture, which has de veloped enormously in the past quarter of a century; and secondly, the ex- tremely wasteful methods employed in cutting. which have left the forests in a deplorable condition and often vast ed more material than was used. Cut ting for cooperage purposes is far more wasteful than is ordinari numbering.
 The Forest Service in taking up this question aims to make its investiga- tions of practical value to the cooper age industry and it's operators. It is planned to bring together information regarding the supply of raw material, and the best methods of manufacture and the i'll effects of wastegul methods on the forest and possible remedies for
 Particular attention will also be giv- en to a study of the properties of woods, with the view of recommending substitutes which are more abundant than the species now used for cooper age.
 The amount. of wood annually con- stunned in the United States for packing baxes and baskets can not be given in exact figures, but it is much greater
 than is generally imagined. The state of Michigan alone has fOrty-eight box making establishments, with an annual product valued at $2,272,6 ,621. Other states have a yet larger output. There is hardly a business in the whole country which would not be un- favorably affected by a serious short age in packing box material. The growing scarcity and consequent high price of most of the woods now used in this industry make necessary a search for other suitable woods and for means of regulating their supply, in order that the future demand may be met and reasonable profit be insured to the manufacturer without overtaxing the consumer.
 The study made by the Forest Ser
 vice will include the questions of SUD- ply and demand as regards woods now used, the introduction of other woods as possible substitutes for the scarcer spe- cies, the demands of the trade, the physical and mechanical properties re- quired in box and basket woods, and
 the methods of manufacturing them.- New York Sun.

he said he discussed the matter with Mir Mccall.
 Mr. Mccall enlivened the days pro- ceedings further when he said that there was no record on the books of the New York Life Insurance company of the $l50,0O0 paid the republican na- tional committee for contributions to presidential campaigns. When he had no personal knowledge that the money was paid, he assured it was, because he had tolG the treasurer to make these payments.
 Earlier in the day Mir. Mccall in de- tailing fhe general legislative work of Judge Hamilton and the counsel he em- ployed, denied any knowledge of the legislative pool which was disclosed in the examination of Alfred W. Maine, auditor of the Equitable Life Assur- ance society, last week. MT. Mccall on this question made the startling as- sertion tha tthree-quarters of the bills affecting life insurance companies were in the nature of blackmail. The officers of the companies were worried at the beginning of each year, he said, by the proposal of laws that would ham, per their companies and there officers really trembled at to what they would have to endure the first six months of each year.
 While MT. Hughes was engaged in looking up some documents, Chairman Armstrong took the opportunity to ask McMcCaIl if he had ever given any thought as to the feasibility of a stand ari policy tkat should beewritten by all companies. MI. McCaII said that he had and that he thought if some such policy could be devised it would be a good thing.
 Rufus Welles Weeks, actuary and second vice president of the New York Life Insurance company was another witness to-day. He went into the tech nical description of the various forms of policies, the tables on whichs the cost of life insurance is computed, and the various other computations of his department.
 The committee adjourned until to- morrow morning.

PROBE SINKS DEEPER
 IN INSURANCE INQUIRY

 Life Insurance company had paid MT. Hamilton money but suggested that par tof it might come froms the state comptroller's office by reason of an as- signment to Judge Hamilton of tax moneys to be repaid the company as the result of the repeal of the tax law which relieved the New York life from payment of taxes.
 Another interesting point was brought out by MT. Hughes just before the committee adjourned for the day. Edward F. Devlin, the real estate man. ager for the New York Life Insurance company, was again called to continue his testimony of last week relative to the real estate values of the com panies properties in this country and abroad. Dr. Devlin presented a num- Der of transcripts of the records.
 It developed that the New York life had acquired by foreclosure an apart rnent house in one of the most desirable residential sections of this city, and the cost. with the improvements deem- ed necessary, was $203,O56. The net income Of this property was found to be .02@ per cent on the investment. Among the improvements was the throwing of two apartments into one of nine, rooms with two baths, These were rented for $1, 800 and $1,SOO year. It then developed that four of the ten- ants were the immediate family of President Mccall, three sons and son in-law MT, DeIvin was asked who fix ed the rental of these properties, and

 for Packing BoxeS and Baskets
 The United States Forest Service has begun a study of woods for special uses, and will this season take up coop- craze woods, box and basket woods, Ve- Gnicle and implement woods and Wooos for street paving.
 Paving with wood, in one form or an other, has been experimented with In the United States for nearly seventy five years. The first experience was so unsatisfactory that municipal engineers for a long time looked upon wood pave nlent with disfavor.
 It was quiet, cheap and comfortable but it soon wore into holes and ruts, and the absorption of street filth rem dered it unsanitary, while the wood speedily decayed and had to be re- placed. In recent years, however, both knowledge and practice Ihave improved. It has been discovered that, with the right selection and treatment 'of woods and the right method of laying, wood paving can ibe done successfully; that good pavement, like good house, must be built on a sound foundation, and that both absorption and decay can be prevented in thewood by proper chemi- cal treatment. Consequently a revival of wood paving has begun and many of the largest cities are again trying it.
 Few people realize the enormous cost and importance, of street pavements. Measured by the money invested, street paving is probably the most important .I1 xNE ,f,7 ,tr11r st tion except steam railroads, the amount invested to date being estimated by a competent authority as approximately $515, 900, 900 for the United States.
 Wood pavement is now almost eXclu sively of one or two of the best con- struction woods, and if it should become popular the drain upon these woods would be seriously increased. The For est Service wishes to ascertain if there aFe2not among the various cheaper and more abundant species some which can byFproper treatment be substituted for thesmore valuable kinds now in use.
 sTElis study will involve three principal lines of inquiry The, experience of cit ies which have wood pavements will be compared. Laboratory tests will be
 
 supply and location of promising sub stittltes will be considered.
 The cooperage industry is one of the most important branches of forest util- ization. According to the twelfth cen sus, the annual value of the slaves hoops and heads made by the mills is over twenty million dollars. It is esti- mated that more than three hundred thousand barrels, kegs, tubs and simi- lar articles are manufactured daily in the United States.
 Until a very recent date the woods chiefly used for cooperage were the slow-growing hardwoods such as oak elm, maple, ash, beech and birch, but within the last few years cottonwood, poplar and latterly gum have been sub- stituted to some extent, owing to the diminishing supply of the species first exploited.
 The depletion of the supply of raw material is felt strongly by the manu- facturer, who finds it yearly more diff ficuit to obtain good stock. Two fac

COSTUME OF A MAI4ARANEE.

The dress of an Indian princess is
 proverbially the most gorgeous in ex- istence but it is not, often that the
 wife of native ruler allows herself
 to be seen en grandes teaue; A cor-
 respondent from Missouri, however,
 sends the following description of the
 dress of the Maharance of Viziana-
 gram, whose jewels are renowned even in India, the rajah being one of
 the wealthiest of the native princes. At, a recent large dinner party which the rajah gave, we ? saw the
 Maharanee after dinner before the men came in. She talks English
 beautifully, and is the prettiest na- tive woman have ever seen. She
 is very short, inclined to be stout, and
 has 8 soft sweet face and conn.,
 plexion not at all dark for an Indian | lady.
 "She was dressed in silk muslin from head to foot, sumptuous de- sign of red roses being woven into the material, which was shot with blue according to the native fashion of weaving. The skirt was very full, and gathered into an enormous bunch in front drawn through her girdle, and with it she wore an elab- crate blouse of the same material. Her
 beautiful black hair, of which she has
 enormous quanties, was dressed in a
 close plait at the back of her head, but this effect was not enhanced by the addition of a palpably false fringe, which, it was said, her English nurse had told her was the height of fashion in Europe. AS personal adornment she wore a huge nose ring with an enormous diamond set in it, white an- other large diamond was fixed in a | marvellous way in the center of her forehead. On her head was poised
 lovely crown, which took the form in front of bird studded with diamonds and emeralds, the black being
 composed of a wide spray of large and small diamonds. A pendant girdle of emeralds, and other gems was worn loosely round the waist in | Greek style. The emeralds-both cut and uncut-were of enormous size, while other stones of which it was f composed lost nothing in comparison with them in size or brilliancy. To complete the dazzling effect, a long chain two inches wide, was twisted round her neck. This was marvel of native workmanship, and was com posed of countless small stones-dia-
 monds, emeralds, sapphires, etc, set in various patterns, the ends being
 finished with small tassel of pearls
 "The Maharanee's little boy is three
 years old and is the most comical little person imaginable He talks
 English, Telegu, and Hindustani al-
 ready, and is as lively and intelligent
 as child of treble his age. He may
 be seen at the band in the evening,
 dressed in red velvet with a little Scotch cap trimmed with black rib bons, his long hair being plaited half
 way down his back, where it is fast
 ened and tied by his cap ribbons. His
 greatest amusement seems to consist in mimicking the bandmaster, and | this, although it gave him evident satisfaction, caused no little dismav
 to his suite of attendants. .''-St. James' Gazette.
