tn. Beaver. Tooth.

No carpenters chisel can do more
effective work than is turned out
with ease and neatness by the bea-
ver's tooth. This is the principal
tool with which these patient, clever
builders construct their dams. The
outer surface of the tooth is a scale
of very hard enamel, while the body
of it is of softer dentine. As the
softer substance wears away in use
the end of the tooth takes a chisel-
like bevel, leaving a thin, slightly
projecting edge of hard enamel as
sharp as any carpenters tool fresh
from the oilstone. The thin scale
Of enamel gives keenness, the softer
dentine supplies strength, and thus
the combination forms formidable
tool, which actually sharpens itself
by use.

Richard Not Him..If.

Tom Keene was once playing in a
theater in one of the larger cities,
and, as every one knew then, Keene
used rubber bag inflated with air
to form hump when playing Rich
ard III. On the night in question
as he stepped forth from the wings
q supe plunged penknife into the
bag, and in an instant the air es-
capped. Keene went on the stage as
straight as an Indian. He screwed
his face up in every imaginable
grimace, but without avail, and the
audience gave him the laugh. Final
ly he was on to the trick, and after
substituting peach basket for a
hump he went on with the play, but
the supe did not get out of bed for
nearly a week.

EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION.
lts Origin One Of the Unselvsd Enismss
Of tho World.

Of the World.
The origin of Egyptian civiliza-
ton has been the enigma of the
world for the past twenty-five CEN
turies. Presenting no historic or
even mythic infancy, it appears be-
fore the world at once as a highly
civilized and organic community
centuries before Moses was boy.
Upon this subject Renan says,
Egypt has no archaic epoch, but
suddenly takes its place in the world
in all its matchless magnifcence,
without father and without mother
and as clean apart from all evolu-
ton as if it had dropped from the
unknown heavens" Would not an
explanation at least feasible be
found in the hypothesis that it re-
ceived its civilization from some
source no longer existing? Menes,
the first historic figure in its long
line of dynasties, the outlines OF
whose personality loom up wavering
indefinite, but grandly impressive,
against the deep mythic background
of prehistoric story at least 45OO
B. c., conceived and executed en-
terprises extorting the warmest ad-
miration from the best engineers OF
the twentieth century. Did he not
alter the course of the Nile by vast
embankments to gain stable founda-
tions other than the shifting sands
for his sacred city of Memphis and
construct the artificial lake of Moe
ris, 45O miles in circumference and
$50 feet deep, as reservoir for the
waters of the Nile?
Look, too, at the colossal achieve
ments of his successors in architec-
ture, sculpture, engineering, astro-
nomical, political, medical, social
and military science, to say nothing
of navigation and theology. Wit
ness the ruins of the Labyrinth re-
corded by Herodotus, which had
5000 chambers, half of them above
ground and half below, combina-
ton of courts, chambers, colon
nades, statues and pyramids. Wit
ness the wonders of the magnificent
temple of Karnak, which still
awakens our admiration, temple,
as Demon says, wherein the Cathe-
dral of Notre Dame, in Paris, could
be set inside one of its halls and yet
not touch the walls. Witness the
sublime pyramids originally built in
honor Of the sun god Ra and for
use in astronomical observatories,
the splendors of Memphis, Thebes
and Heliopolis, of the sphinx and
the obelisks, the statuary and the
numerous temples with the ruins Of
which the land is still filled.-Ex-

Great prs.mina.

A young lady Of Philadelphia,
after partaking heartily of scrapple,
retired and dreamed that she had
lost her watch, a valued present
from her father. When she awoke
in the morning she recalled her Wv
id dream, and, looking at the place
where she could have sworn that
She had placed it, 10, it was gone /!
She told her father and brother, and
they, making no doubt that it had
been stolen, reported the matter to
the police, and the pawnshops were
hunted in vain. On the next night
the young woman dreamed again.
This time she dreamed that before
retiring she had hidden the watch
in an old shoe in the bottom of a
closet. Upon arising next morning
she recalled the dream and out of
curiosity explored the old shoes in
the closet and found the watch.

Two Mistakes.

An Irish merchant who had more
money in his pocket than his ap-
pearance denoted took a seat in q
first class carriage. A dandy fel-
low passenger was much annoyed at
Pats presence and, missing his
handkerchief, taxed him with hav-
ing picked his pocket. After re-
covering his handkerchief, which he
had put in his hat, he made lame
apology, but Pat stopped him with
this remark:
make yourself easy, darlint.
Don't bother about the matter. You
took me for thafe. 1 took you for
a gentleman. We were both Of us
mistaken, that's all, me honey"

And Not Saying q Word.

After a fight on James island,
South Carolina, in 1862, there was
among the wounded young fellow
suffering intensely and making an
unusual amount of noise. General
Williams, in command, when pass
ing through the hospital quarters
approached the soldier and in a
grutf voice asked, "What's the mat
ter with you?' The soldier, point
ing to his foot, replied, "I'm wound

The General Liked Him Better Than .
Spirited hsrss.
"Stonewall" jackson was as pic
turesque in the saddle as he was on
foot, says the Warrington Star. The
grim old Presbyterian elder had rid
den in his youth in West Virginia
in races for an uncle, Of which act
in later years he was not proud. At
the beginning Of the civil war or
thereabouts some OF his admirers
presented him with a war charger
suitable for man of growing fame
and bright military future. He had
been riding up to that date a rather
undersized sorrel gelding of very
meek appearance, which was one of
carload captured by his command
at some point on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad and consigned to
Washington. This particular ami
NAL the general gave the name Of
Fancy, although from all accounts
of Confederate soldiers it fell far
short of the title in equine at
tributes, except in one respect-he
had fancy whenever the command
halted for lying down and rolling
like dog. What the general liked
most about him, aside from his quiet
manners, was his gait, which he
himself described as being as "easy
as cradle" Evidently the animal
was of the hobby horse species.
The mount selected for Jackson
was quite another animal in blood,
disposition and spirit. On certain
review the general, dressed in new
uniform in place of the dingy gray
he had long worn, appeared on the
field mounted on his blooded char
ger, but when the band struck up
"Hail to the Chief" and his men
burst into loud cheers the horse
bolted, threw cold Jack" and trail
ed the new uniform in the dust.
Fancy was never thereafter dis
placed in his affectionate esteem.
He rode him in his valley and penin-
sular campaigns and was on his back
on the evening of May 2, 1868, at
Charlottesville when he received
the wound which resulted in his un-
timely death. For long time Fan
cy was lost after the above event,
but was finally found by Confeder-
ate soldier and subsequently given
home in the family Of Jackson's ia
ther-in-law, Dr.. Morrison, Lincoln
county, N. G. Fancy lived to most
extraordinary age, dying in 1888.
His skin was prepared by an expert
attached to the Smithsonian insti-
tuition and is at the Confederate
Soldiers home, Richmond, Va.

VILLAGE F,nEmEN.
ssms Funny Stories Told Of Amateur
Diaxs Fighters.

Olaxs Fighters.
Rural FIRE departments, especially
in the early days of organization,
have often afforded material for
comedy, says Youths Companion.
Had hand tubs and ladder compa-
nies been known in Shakespearc's
day it is easy to imagine that Eng
lish literature might have been en-
riched by the portrait of some rustic
fire chief fit to pass down to i'm
mortality with those of the country
watchmen and justices we know 30
we'll. 7. E. Lawlor has recently re-
corded some suggestive bits from
English villages.
In Cornwall at an alarm of fire q
member of newly formed fire COM
pany was seen standing on corner
gaping in dazed way at brisk fire
in progress some distance down the
street. At last he was overheard
murmuring to himself:
"a proper blaze it sure be a
proper blaze! A must 60 home and
put on my uniform. Yes, it be a
blaze worth getting on my new boots
for, tight though 'en be-"
At another fire the company, as
sembled hastily in an unlighted vii
lage lane, had no lanterns and in q
darkness deepened by thick smoke
as yet unlighted by flame, were help
lessly wondering what they could do
and where to make their attack.
Suddenly a tongue of Pickering
red shot up from the smoldering
building, and the firemen, with q
shout, prepared to turn the hose
upon it. The captain grabbed the
nearest fire fighter and jerked him
and the nozzle he was directing vio-
lently aside.
",Ere, you lunk'ed" he shouted.
"'Old 'ard. If you wasn't goin' to
put out the honly light we've got
to see the fire by!"
At the burning of large barn
another village chief was so intent
on personally getting out the live
stock that he left the conduct of
the fight against the fire entirely
to his subordinates, who were sadly
in need of direction. On being re-
monstrated with he declared excit-
edly:
