QUEEN THY'S INFLUENCE. With Her Son She Modified Egyptian Art and Developed New Thought.

From Arthur E. P. Welsalrs "A New
 Discovery in Egypt" in the September
 Century.
 By the time that Amenhotep had reigned for thirty years or so, he had ceased to give much attention to state affairs. and the power had almost en- tirely passed into the hands of Thy and her son. who now must have been some twenty years of age. Already between them they had brought Alton into the foreground, had modified the art and had developed a tone of thought which can hardly pc considered as purely Egypt ian. The court was now more brilliant than ever. a Queen Thy, with her beautiful face presided over scenes of fes- tivity of indies ribable spendor. Thought full persons. however, were beginning to lool. askance at the sallow ascetic young man who soon would be their Pharoah: for already he had formulated a philoso- phy of joy and happiness which. in Its in- tensity had made him contemplative and almost joyless in manner The death of Amenhotep III. would, it was felt, give the youth the opportunity of forcing this philosophy upon the court and no one could yet say whether 1t would increase or quell the gaities then In vogue.
 A year or so later the death of the king occurred, and he was carried to

PLAYHOUSE GOSSIP.

Rice and Barton's Big Gaiety Extrav- aganza company, coming to Gayety next week. is still the record breaker in this line of entertainment.

Post will play Angel Clare in Tess of the Durberwlles; Paul Sylvaine, In Leah Kleschna," and Elert Lovberg, in edda Gabler." He was selected by MT. Fiske after careful survey of the field. as the actor best qualified to fill these important roles. The past two sea sons Mir Post has been featured in "The Heir to the Hoorah" and he is widely known for his fine acting in that play, as well as in "Soldiers of Fortune;" "The Virginian'' and other productions. He had a starring tour in contemplation or this season, but deferred 1t to accept the engagement with Mrs. Flske.
 When "Parsfal'' was first introduced to American playgoers, the European GUS tom was followed in giving 1t publicity. Anyone who closely observed the an- nouncements made in the New York press and periodicals could not fail to be impressed that Wagners famous art work aimed at the patronage Of the elite, the -four hundred" and the moneyed aristocracy.

Bessemer, August 31.-(Special )-The statement of the Bessemer banks, as ls- sued few days ago. speaks well for the general prosperous conditions of the district.
 The showing as made by the banks is. indeed, very fine and the officers and directors of the institutions have just reason to feel proud of the showing made The savings departments especi- ally show gratifying increase. and this alone is fine index into the general con- dItions.
 The laboring class for the past few years have seemed inclined to put cer- tain amount of their earnings each month in the bank, and 1t shows not only a confidence in the institutions, but a de- sire to have something laid aside with which to meet emergencies.

MAN, cow, FIDDLE.
Trio commemorated on q Tonbstons
In a Connecticut Cemetery.


In The old cemetery of Central VII
lage, near Plainfield, Conn. is the only
tombstone known in New England
erected 10 a COW and its owner. In
several cemeteries have been found rec
oris that horses, dogs and even cats
have been laid at rest beside their
masters, but in no other instance on
record has a COW had slab erected In
her honor.
The cows name was Rosa, and the
Inscription says that she gave two
pounds fifteen ounces of butter from
thirteen quarts of milk in one day.
This was a pretty good record for
COW, and Jersey at that, the inscrip-
ton goes on to say.
On the opposite side of the monu-
ment Is the inscription, "All Ready,
Mr.. Cady," and below are the words,
"At Rest" Above is the outline OF
fiddle crossed with bow.
Gurdon Cady. to whose memory the
| stone was erected, was known from
the Massachusetts line to Long Island
sound and from Providence to the Con-
necticut river half century ago as the
finest fiddler that ever drew bow at
country dance. He had two loves,
Rosa and his fiddle, both of which
found place on his tombstone.
Marin Kenney's celebrated inn al
Stafford was one Of the most popular
fields for Cady and his fiddle. From
the time he started until the final -four
ish of the bow, when he chanted, "All
promenade to seats" there was some
thing doing every minute. Some OF the
residents here can recall many a time
when they danced to his music untiI
the suns rays lighted the ballroom.
He would yell in between times spe
cial instructions to uncertain maids
and swains. Once, seeing young mar
at a loss what to do in the middle OF
set. he sang out, Swing that girl witt

was promptly swung. All such diver
sions were worked in with his prompt

dressed paid any heed. ,

THE BABY'S Rash.
Hints to Anxious Mothers Who Dis
cover Red Spots.

Nothing strikes more terror to q
young mothers soul than an appear
ance of rash on her baby. Unless the
eruption is prickly heat, which even
the most inexperienced person is like
ly to know. 1t indicates illness, and a
physician should be called.
But while waiting for him her mind
may be much relieved by knowing
something of the different forms rash
takes and precisely what they mean.
For instance, scarlet fever, that most
dreaded Of all illnesses, is not to be
mistaken for measles by a person
yersed In the indications OF both. In
scarlet fever the eruption is bright COZ
ored and the spots are so close togeth.
er that they seem to run in one mass,
though each little speck is really clear
ly defined. It begins on the chest or
about the neck and spreads quickly.
Measles show first. to the inexpe-
rienced, on the face. but physician
will usually see small spots in the
mouth before they appear elsewhere.
This particular eruption that develops
rapidly from the face to the body is
accompanied by swelling and Is
blotchy.
Rash that Is part Of chicken pox ap-
pears, too, on the face first as a rule,
but its formation is quite different
from that seen In measles. In the
former 1t is in little Jumps that quickly
develop into blisterlike looking things.
1t does not break out all at once, but
appears in rotation In different parts
| of the body, so that at first one por-
ton may BE quite clear Of any erup.
ton while another is covered. 1t dis
appears by drying into crusts that
drop of after q time.
German measles, less serious than
the other form and frequently first
mistaken for 1t, may show by a rash
before there are any fever symptoms
The eruption is usually much palel
than in real measles and may be ei
ther tiny or fairly large. 1t sometimes
runs in together, but as rule re
mains clearly separate and defined. 1
lasts a shorter time than in measles
and may fade after two days.
