Convincing Evidence.

In the Afghan war of 1878 some
British forces under the late Sir
Montagu Gregory came upon the
only Sikh temple in Afghanistan
and heard the story of the laying
of its cornerstone from a member
Of the gallant warrior tribe.
A Sikh who had saved the life of
the ameer then reigning had re-
ceived permission to erect q shrine.
One Of the native prophets was in
vited to be present at the laying of
the cornerstone of the building; but,
being unable to accept, he sent four
brick, one for each corner Of the
temple, and the message, 81 will be
with you in the spirit"
To make assurance doubly sure
the prophet explained that by the
sound Of the rushing of horses
through the air he people on the
scene might tim he arrival of him
self and his disc IS.
: did you he,.. themS" inquired
Sir Montagu at this point Of the
Sikh's recital.
"No, but l saw the bricks" re-
piled the native, with perfect COM
posure.

A Family Mix up.

This always seemed to me a very
funny story:
l married a widow who had 9
grownup daughter. Ny father Wis,
tied us often, fell in love with my
stepdaughter and married her. Thus
he became my son-in-law, and my
stepdaughter became my mother,
because she was my fathers wife.
Soon after this my wife gave birth
10 a son, which of course was my
fathers son-in-law and my uncle,
for he was the brother of my step
mother. Ny fathers wife also be-
came the mother of son.. He was
Of course my brother and also my
grandchild, for he was the son of
my daughter. Accordingly my wife
was my grandmother, because she
was my mothers mother. / was my
wife's husband and grandchild at
once, and, as the husband Of a per-
sons grandmother is his GRANDPA
ther, ! became my own grandfather.

On the invention Of Whisky.

The name Of the man who first
staggered humanity by the inven-

The fiery potion was known in Eng

But Scotland made up for lost time.

Egyptian Customs.

| -SJRN'NH N1sNeNes
When a member of an Egyptiar
family died all the relatives put Oh
mourning and abstained from baths
wine and delicacies of all kinds from
forty to sixty days, according to the
rank of the person deceased. Death
in one respect put an end to all dis
tinctions that had prevailed in life,
and king and slave we're subject to
the same law.
The record of the life of the de-
ceased had to be examined by q
tribunal Of forty-two judges before
he could be given burial with his
ancestors. If the deeds of his life
proved that he was worthy of burial
his body Yves carried across the sa-
cred lake, Of which each province
had one, and was there permitted to
rest. If the judges found him un-
worthy, even though he belonged to
the highest rank, he could not be
buried with his ancestors. The body
was returned to his relatives and
was buried on the side Of the lake
opposite to the burial place of the
just.
The belief Of the Egyptians in
future state of existence gave rise
to the practice OF embalming the
dead. They wished to carefully pre-
serve the body, SO that the soul upon
its return to its former abode at the
end of all things might find it ready
for its reception. Bodies were en-
balmed in three different ways. The
most expensive and magnificent
method was used upon the bodies
Of kings and other persons of dis
tinguished rank, the cost amount
ing to talent of silver, or $610.
A number Of persons were en-
ployed in the process of embalming,
and they we're treated with great re-
spect. They filled the cavities of
the body with myrrh, cinnamon,
spices and many kinds Of sweet
drugs.
After a certain time had elapsed
The body was swathed in lawn FL
let's, which we're glued together with !
kind Of thin gum, and then crust
ed over with costly perfumes. By |
his mode of embalming the shape |
If the body, the lineaments of the
face, the eyebrows and eyelashes
we're preserved in their natural per-
lection. Bodies thus embalmed are

ease Of a player in the old days. A
ecmpany had been sent out from
New Orleans to visit the towns along
Che Mississippi river up to st. Louis.
Business had been anything but
good, and the meager receipts at
the box office had resulted in a
heavy reduction of salaries before
the company had been out for many
weeks. One night after the per-
Eorinance the stage manager, who
was also the leading man, took ex-

Of the players had interpreted a GER

FINISHED POETRY.
Hard Labor as Much as Fine Frenzy .
Factor In Its Production.

Hard Labor a. Much as Fine Frenzy
Factor In Its Production.
There are yet some persons left
who fancy that poetry is the prod
uct Of fine frenzy; that the poet
genius awakes from a sublimated
cataleptic trance to fill page after
page with effortless beatitudes. A
number Of manuscript sheets Of
Longfellow's Excelsior" which
may be found in Harvard, should
not only explode this theory, but
give hope to many discouraged
amateur, AS Longfellow first con-
structed the first verse Of this poem
it ran:
The shades OF night were falling fast
As through an Alpine village passed
A youth who, as the peasants sung,
Responded in an unknown tongue,
Excelsior.
This was manifestly weak, as the
only obvious reason why the Alpine
peasants sung was that they might
afford a rhyme for the youths re-
spouse in an unknown tongue. A
second trial at the verse, however,
not only failed to improve it, but
arranged it in such form that it is
difficult to believe Longfellow guilty
of the fault. The last two lines of
the verse were made to read:
A youth who bore pearl Of price,
A banner with the strange device
There are not many even among
the magazine poets of today who
would consent to refer to a banner
as "a pearl of price" But the poet
had by this time three lines to his
liking, and the substitution of "a
youth who bore mid snow and ice"
completed the verse as it has been
read and spoken throughout the
length and breadth Of the land, all
Of which goes to show that the gen.
ius Of the poet is in the conception
and that the production of the
poem, being quite another matter,
lies solely in the direction of patient
labor.

HONEY LOVING BIRDS.
They Often Have Battles With Bsss
For tho Sweet Booty.

Iney Oftor nave Battles Win Bee
For tho Sweet Booty.
The love for sweet things is 9
craving Of nature in all living crea.
lures, and birds will sometimes run
great risks to satisfy it. Bears in
their eagerness to get at the honey
in a hollow tree will sometimes
wedge themselves into 80 small a
hole as to endanger their lives, and
many forest birds, such as wood
peckers, blue jays and thrushes, will
run the danger Of being stung to
death in their endeavors to obtain
the sweet honey that the bees store
in the hollow trunks of trees. Some
times they will attack bees on the
wing and snap them up for the tiny
speck OF nectar contained in their
sacks. Blue jays often take a posi-
ton near beehives and fish all day
for honey. Every returning bee is
caught, but not devoured, for birds
will kill the bee only that they may
sip up the honey. Unless driven
away q few such bird robbers would
soon depopulate hive.
Occasionally the bees organize
and fight the birds. They issue in a
body from the hive and make bold
attack upon the asSassins. In the
quick, sharp conflict that follows
the birds invariably get defeated.
Indeed they do not attempt 70 resist
the onslaught, but seek safety in
fight. If the bees surround one of
the birds quickly enough, there is
little hope for the robber. They
settle down upon him and sting him
to death. He may fly away, but the
bees cling to his back and sides
tenaciously. His fight soon be-
comes less energetic and more and
more uncertain until at last he drops
to the earth and gasps out his life
among the leaves and bushes, while
the bees return triumphantly to
their home.
In the wild forests the honey low
ing birds sometimes make an organ
lied attempt to drive the bees away
from their home in the hollow trunk
Of tree. They first discover the
place of the hidden treasure by fol-
lowing the bees on a warm, sunny
day, and if there be an opening in
he tree large enough to admit them
they plunge down the hole in a
BODY.
Then there follows a sharp con-
iict inside the tree, the birds snap
ping at the bees and cutting them
n two at each snap: The only
Ihance for the bees is to light on
he backs and sides Of the birds.
Z they fail to do this, they are soon
outed, and the rich treasures Of
weets are captured by the enemies.
these battles terminate in various
rays, sometimes the bees and some
lines the birds coming out victo-
ious.-0ur Animal Friends.
