OLD ECYPT'S GOLD MINES.
Probably Located in the Mountains
TO the South Of Ancient
Coptos.


Prof. II. ID. George. OF the University
OF Colorado, suggests that the ancient
Egyptians drew the larger part OF then
gold from the old workings near Coptos,
latitude 20 degrees north. and from the
mountains some distance 20 the south
The mountains to the south OF Coptos
are probably the mines for which the
kings OF the twelfth dynasty sacrificed
the lives of many thousand men: fol-
the rule OF Egyptian Kings who wanted
gold was To invade Nubia and take pos.

wanted copper they drove back the no.

AQUARIUMS HATCHERY AT WORK
Almost n Million Young Fishes Already
Turned Out This Season.

Very nearly a million little flshes--their
number computed at 99s 900, to be exact
have been Matched out in the Aquarium's
model hatchery thus far in the present
season, the last to be turned out to date
being q big lot of yellow perch, some Of
these from Eggs of specimens in the
AQUARIUM, and some from eggs received
from the State fish hatchery at Cold Spring
Harbor.
These yellow perch will be used for re-
stocking with. this species the waters In
the city parks, and many nave already been
placed In the lake in Prospect Park.
Next before the yellow perch Matched
out here in the present season, were a large
lot Of salt water smelts, these also from
Eggs received from the Cold Spring
hatchery. The salt water smelt goes up
into inIets in the spawning season, and
like the shad, for inst anoe, up streams to
spawn. The young smells hatched out in
the Aouarium's hatchery were put over the
Battery sea wall Immediately back of the
building, into the Hudson.
Before the liberation of the young smelts
there had been sent out from here for plant

These handkerchiefs come in all colors.
In dark blue they look especially well with
the dark blue serge or flannel Of summer
suits. Plain white handkerchiefs are prac-
tlcally abandoned now for any but evening
wear, They come In very beautiful and
costly forms for full dress and have alto
gether s%upplanted the silk handkerchief

each way. Inside this middle square the
monogram is put. Some handkerchiefs
with colored stripes come In this same
pattern, but they have rather too much
color for the present style.
The most expensive white handkerohiefs
for men cost o. each, and are 10 fine they
could be easily rolled up and put into q
waistcoat pocket. They nave the initials
or the monogram in the corner and some
times they are divided into squares by a
narrow thread Of coarser linen. Others
are perfectly plain with only a line Of hem
stitch between the body Of the handkerchief
and the narrow border. In handkerohiefs
like these, the monogram or the initials
are put In the corner. The monogram
In the centre Of the handkerchief was n
nunnoe tried only with the handkerchief
divided by damask stripes into squares.
Nowadays there are socks to be had at
low prices which combine color effects
that would have been possible some years
ago only in expensive hosiery. There are,
OF course, no colors smarter for mems
wear that the solid blues, grays and greens.
They are still expensive In the best qualities.
Blue socks. for instance, are always difficult
to find in any but the most expensive makes.
Why dark blue socks should cost more
than any other color does not appear,
but 1t is a fact that a good shade Of dark
blue can never be had In any but expensive
hosiery. In the cheaper lines, they are
either not Of the right shade or they fade
entirely after the first washing.
Green and gray socks in the solid color
are also expensive when the right shades
are desired and they are expected to wear.
1t is the disadvantage Of the cheap socks
that they lose their color almost with the
first washing. Their charming color schemes
last for a very short time, but probably as
long as could be expected from the price.
The very hin black socks that are to be as
much the mode this summer as they were
last are really the most expensive investment
In socks, as they usually 60 through at the

Group and that he desired to bury her near
some place that had the appearance Of
permanency 80 that the grave Of his child
would not be In an abandoned or isolated
spot.
II natural sympathy had not been suf-
ioient to win aid from the inhabitants for
the strangers, the compliment paid to the
newly established town would have done
the work. 1t vas so sincere and genuine
that town pride rose at once to the occasion
and q committee was designated to take
charge CT the ceremony.
The committee soon made the discovery
chat the town company had overlooked
one important feature when 1t plated the
site of Fargo Springs-the establishing Of
a cemetery. The town company had donated
tracts Of land for school buildings, churches,
universities, public libraries, parks, county
and city halls, Federal buildings and other
public improvements. In the mids OF
life the town company gave no thought
death, but now that occasion demanded a
cemetery it did not hesitate to do its duty,
and it promptly offered all the land neces-
sary.
This had hardly been arranged when the
broken hearted stranger again sought the
white haired Mr.. jackson and explained
that a money order he had expected had
failed to arrive and that he was greatly
embarrassed, as he was absolutely pen
niless.
In those days on the Kansas frontier,
when sympathy was genuine, there were
no strings on the purses Of the pioneers,
and it was not long before a fund Of $50
had been raised and sent to the anchored
schooner, along with a rudely made 90 fin.
This generosity moved the newcomer to
tears, and he Immediately hunted up jack
son and COVE him an order on the post
master for the delayed money order with
which the citizens were to be reimbursed.
Composing himself with an effort, he asked
that the committee make preparations for
an early interment of the remains, for he
explained that this had been unduly de-
layed; and that although It was hard to
leave his little one, he had decided TO move
on az soon as the sad duty was performed.
That night q watch sat around the camp
fire by the wagon as a token Of respect for
the Borrowing parents. Early the next
morning the sad rites were held at the new
cemetery.
As there was no minister in the own,
the venerable Mr.. jackson, with his white
hair combed carefully, arrayed himself in
an ancient frock coat and walked piously
at the head of the procession. In an awk-
ward way the ceremony was begun, when tho
master Of ceremonies, who thought a few
words would be appropriate, said:
"The NEST unfortunate thing a person can
do is TO die, but il die we must, let it be in
Fargo Springs, where we have all the nat
ural advantages of a great city. In ancient
times Crusaders died in making pilgrimages
to the holy city, AZ this little pilgrim died

Solid colors matching the shirt. tie and
handkerchief in a fine quality Of Isle thread
are as smart for day wear as any socks that
are in the shops. Openwork OF any kind
Is bad form for men. In the evening plain
black silk goes best with pump and the
dinner jacket. In the informally OF this
summer full dress the black silk socks may
nave a colored clock or even be striped
with a small vine in green or any other
color. Bolder spirits do not hesitate to
wear with the summer dinner jacket socks
that are purple, red or dark green. The
temptation Is always to 60 in for the fanciest

dressed man is proof against thess gaudy

The majority Of these ties are to be had
