FIRST STORY OF IMAGINATION
Written by Ennana Of Thebes for
Egypt's Crown Prince In 1900 3. c.

The Tale of Two Brothers," writ
ten 5000 years ago by the Theban
scribe, Ennana, librarian of the pal
ace to King Merenptah, the supposed
Pharaoh of the Exodus, IS the oldest
work of fiction extant.
The tale was written apparently for
the entertainment of the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Seti ii.
His name appears in two places on
the manuscript-probab the only SUI
viving autograph signatures of an
Egyptian king.
This piece of antique fiction, written
on nineteen sheets of papyrus in bold
hieratic hand, was purchased in Itaiy
by Nine. d'Orbiney, who sold it an
1857 to the authorities of the British
museum, where it Is now known as
the d'Orbiney lGDyrus.
Other speC!a.eLs of ancient Egyp'
tian fiction have since come to light
which appear to prove that the Nile
valley was not only the birthplace o;
the arts and sciences, but was also tn:
cradle of romance.-Stray Stories.

CHESTNUT FLOUR OF CORSICA.
Much Used but Produces inferior
Kind of Dread.

The chestnut is the wheat of Cor
sica, and its -four Is used in the form
of bread or polenta by the peasants
throughout the island The chestnuts
are slowly dried over small wood
fire and stored until required for
grinding. The mills are of the sim
plest construction, and consist OF
wooden water wheel whose axis turns
a milestone which brushes the shelled
chestnuts against fixed stone.
The cheaper grades of -four are
of dirty color owing to the pres
ence of particles of the shells and
contain between II and IL per cent OF
moisture. The composition of differ
ent varieties of the flour has been
determined recently by M Comte.
who finds that chestnut -four closely
approximates wheat -four in its food
value. II contains about the same
amount OF starch, more fat and cellu'
lose, but less heterogeneous substances

per cent in wheat hour). Chestnut
-four attracts moisture very rapidly,
and therefore soon becomes mouldy
unless kept in alright vessels. II
has also the drawback of not being
easily Influenced by the action OF
yeast, and thus produces an inferior
kind of bread.

A Suggestion.

In view Of the long continued scar.
city OF water for street sprinkling, due
to the length OF time 1t has taken TO
clean the city canal, Postmaster Odell
offers a suggestion that may be acted
upon at some future time, If not now.
Salt Lake city was up against the
sime difficulty last year, but waste
water in the bitches proved their sal
walton. On one OF the blocks where
there was about ten foot fall, six
or eight inch pipe was laid in the gut
ter from the upper TO the lower end.
AT the lower end there was an up
right from which there was no difficult
ly in filling the big sprinkler. The
fall and pressure was sufficient TO force
the water to the height Of the sprink-
Ter, and while the lawns had to suffer
a little while, there was no difficulty
in keeping the streets properly
sprinkled, Mr., Odell noted the fall
in the block on which the Thatcher
pavilion is located and the water that
has been running TO waste in the
bitches. He figures it that such a
plan as was worked in Salt Lake could
be carried out here TO splendid advan.
tage. During the past week the peo-
have had to suffer no little inconyc.
nience from the dusty streets, and any
plan for the reliefa like time In
the future is well worth consideration

Snuff-taking is common habit
among certain classes of the London

speech, pallid aspect and detected de-

especially common among women and

Steps to Determine Responsibility of
 Philadelphia Directors.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.-To determine the responsibility of the directors of the wrecked Real Estate Trust compa- ny, State Banking Commissioner Ber- key came here to-day and appointed as special bank examiners Charles M. Vol lum and Meyer Goldsmith, expert reg istered accountants, who, with the con- sent of Receiver Earle, will tomorrow begin a thorough examination of the assets and liabilities of the concern.
 Receiver Earle tonight, after con- ference with the company directors, issued a statement announcing that he hopes soon to reopen the bank, and that all depositors will be protected. MT Earle says the directors will help reorganize the company, but he did not say how much money they have guar anteed.
 The preliminary hearing of Adolf Se- gel, the promoter, William F. North, treasurer, and Marshall S. Collingwood assistant treasurer of the Real Estate Trust company took place to-day and the three were held in heavy bail for trial.

CONSOLIDATED PLANS
 BELT LINE IN NEW HAVEN
FOR RELIEF OF TROLLEY CAR CONGESTION ON CHAPEL
 STREET.

Scheme Includes Extension of Tracks
 on Winthrop Avenue From Oak to
 George Street and Double Tracks on
 Howard and Sylvan Avenues-AlsO
 Plan for Tracks on New Union Ave-
 nue for Use After Erection of New
 Depot.
 The radical plans of the Consolidated Street Railway company for the ex- tension of New Haven street car lines anr the improvementof their services were carefully outlined by Manager Harlan and his civil engineers before the committee on railroads and bridges at a meeting held last night. The whole hearing was devoted to the peti- tions of the railroad company, which were six in number.
 As stated by Mir. Harlan the object of the company Is to relieve as much as possible the congestion of cars on Chapel and Church streets. Another object is to increase their facilities for handling quickly the large crowds which visit the city to attend the big intercollegiate contests The scheme includes the establishing of belt line by the extension of tracks on Win throp avenue from Oak street to George street, the connection of tracks on George street from College to Temple, anud double tracking of large portions of Howard avenue and Sylvan avenue. If these petitions are allowed cars will then make trips in either direc- tion. Many cars could be sent on these lines a tthe time of the big games and the usual Chapel street congestion relieved. Manager Harlan also stated that the belt line would be very useful in keeping the service open in case of a also asked to make track connections from Temple street into Chapel street and establish a cross-over,
 | Another of the companys plans Is tc lay tracks on New Union avenue from Meadow street to State street. For a time these tracks would be used as switches. When the new depot is erect. ed the present approach to the depot on Union avenue will be eliminated, and tho new tracks put in constant use. Immediate consideration was asked or the belt line proposition, so that it may rbe constructed this fall in time for the Yale-H Harvard football game.

 Cienfuegos, Sept. GA detachment of fifty government troops from this city to-day encountered a band of General Guzmans insurgents near Camarones. Tn the fight which ensued the govern ment force was routed, many being kill ed or wounded. There is great excite ment in Cienfuegos.
 Havana, Sept, 6.-The governments report of to-day's fight in Santa Clara province says that Colonel Valle's troops pursued thirty men who had risen near Palmira After the insur- gents had been reinforced by others a fight ensued, in which the insurgents were repulsed and retreated to Tar tabull, where they camped. There they were attacked by Captain Mayato and several of the insurgents were killed or wounded. The insurgents left sev- eral of their dead on the field, as well as their horses. Of t6e rural guards two were wounded.
 Talk concerning Vice President Ca- poles succession to the presidency as one of the ways of settling the trouble was persistent tonight. Asked by the Associated Press about these and other points of the negotiations, General Menocl esaid:
 We have not got that far, but l can positively assure you that thus far things are going satisfactorily.
 When asked concerning the result of the conference to-day with the liberals the general said:
 Their wish for peace is the same as ours, so we are all hopeful of accom- plishing it; but we have not yet taken up the details"
 General Menocal said that commits sioners had rweturned tonight from a visit to Pino Guerra and reported that he was favorable to cessation of all hos tilities pending the negotiations. The general said he hoped tomorrow to meet all clements and begin more defi- mite negotiations looking to peace.
 After the close of the conference to- night General Menocal and intimate friends of President Capote visited the vice-president.
 The proposition with regard to Vice President Capote assuming the presi- dency came from the liberals and in- surgents with such unanimity that the committee of veterans decided to con- eider the matter in all its aspects. If President Palma signifies his willing mess to resign in the interest of peace, this may be the outcome. However, all this is tentative yet, and has only been discussed in secret.
