Objects Found in Royal SepuIchre
Thousands OF Centuries Old.
Here from M. de Guerville's book
Is description Of the interior of the
tomb of Queen Tia, wife of Amenho-
tep Ill, who lived 1900 p. c.:
"On the brick wall, which had until
today separated it from the world,
we could still see the marks of muddy
hands-hands OF men now for cen
turtles dead. who had sealed It up as
they thought for eternity. The dead
centuries rose up before us as though
alive.
On the middle of the coffin a pink
cushion lay carelessly thrown; at the
side was a chair of modern appear
ance. rather in the empire style. yet
with l know not what OF Egyptian.
Farther away was q gilded armchair
with straight legs. which recalled the
style OF Louis XVI, and, facing II.
yet another quite Egyptian. Here, too,
was a chariot covered with leaf gold
complete with its wheels, pole and
yoke.
Here also a complete suite of fur
niture, large chests of black wood and
seventy-two jars containing offerings
and provisions, ducks. launches Of
venison, meat-dried or mummifed-
bread. wheat, and in others traces OF
the wine and perfume which they had
contained.
One large vase was overturned by
occident and from 1t came a thick,
yellowish matter-hOney-and strange
to say. at that very moment, we saw
alighting on it a bee which had en-
tered from without! At the side were
objects of gold, ivory. silver. not to
mention an enormous bunch of
onions!"

Many stories have been told Of
Southern chivalry, but the palm ap-
pears to go to story told by former
governor Of Kentucky while visiting
in this city recently.
According to the narrator a genuine
Kentucky colonel boarded a street car
which was very crowded. and some
how he stepped on the foot of a very
pretty woman. or course the woman
expected the Colonel to apologize. Just
as did everybody else who heard her
give a mouselike squeal when the
Colonel's foot came down
And she looked as though she ex-
pected an apology, but the Colonel,
divining her thought, doffed his hat
and said: mo, madam, I'm not going
to apologize. When the good Lord
was so gracious as to make women
so beautiful and charming and with
such wonderfully small feet that a
man has to tramp on them to find
them, then don't think that an apol-
ogy-"
The compliment was too graceful
for the woman to resist, and all that
followed was smiling acknowledge
ment of the Colonel's gallant speech.

Fried Potatoes Inaise.,ibI,.

Fried potatoes are less easily d.
gested than food cooked in any other
way. The most wasteful way cooking
them and next to frying the least
wholesome is to peel, cut in pieces and
put In cold water. slowly bringing to
boil. In this way the water gets to
the centre of the potatoes and much of
the starch is dissolved and lost and
they become soggy because they have
not been cooked dry. To drop the
pieces into boiling water is quite as
bad. for as soon as they touch the hot
surface the gluten hardens and pre-.
vents the water from getting near the
starch, thus keeping them from being
mealy.
Baking potatoes is the best way of
all, for when the skin is not removed
and dry heat is used none of the nutri.
ton is lost. Boiling with the skins on
is next and then steaming. because
these processes prevent less starch
from being dissolved by the water and
the potatoes retain the flavor and tex.
ture that is lost when the skin is re-
moved
