Not at All Pretty.
Those who have not vet seen

Those who have not yet seen the
new ten-dOllar gold coins may
learn what they look like from
the following description by the
Baltimore News:
sit is the ugIiest coin that any
government ever inflicted upon a
helpless people. On one side
is an un-Indian-like head, with
something gone wrong with the
nose. The face Is said To be
modelled after that of beautiful
Irish girl. There is not an Irish
girl-on earth who wouldn t con
slider it an insult to be compared
with this thing.
son the other side is a strange
beast intended to represent the
American eagle. 1t looks like IL
turkey buzzard dressed in pajam-
as. Its head is too large and its
legs are too long, therefore the
latter have been covered with
pantalets. No ichethyosaurus of
prehistoric times was half as re-
pulsive as this beast. No crudely
modelled coin of ancient Babylon
or Egypt was as ugly as this coin. -

BARGAINS IN EGYPTIAN MUMMIEs


Along the bank OF the Luxor side
of the river, in the shop Of Ahmed
Abd-el-R Rahin, there is an astounding
bargain in mummiiied babies, and one
iu particular, which he claims is 1900
years old, Is offered for the trihing
sum of $12. The circumstance Is not
without it's pathetic side; neverthe'
less, the first impulse of the average
human is to laugh when the honorable
Ahmed comes forth with the gay little
case covered with hieroglyphics ard
tells you that 1t is baby and urges
that it be taken to America. The curl
GUS part of 1t is that many tourists
do buy these tiny mummies, which, TO
ali appearances are genuine as to age.
and it is another curious fact that
tourists buy the mummy clothes, tat
tered and torn and stained, although
wonderful in color and design. that
have been wrapped around the dead
bodies Of the ancient Egyptians. Also
the vendors OF separate hands and
feet seem to enjoy good income
during the season.
