DR.. John S. Buist. the famous South

1T is always in rather bad taste for

"rhe gravedigger haggled over the
price, finally accepting it.

Quite a sensation has been caused
among Biblical students by the dis
covery, by Brugsch Bey, the great
Psychologist, of monumental in
scription, telling how the Nile failed
to rise for seven years in succession
about 1 200 years before the Christian
era. A long and terrible famine was
the result.
B. G. 100 is the date recognized as
the beginning of tile "seven lean
years described in the Book of Cen
esis, and theologians are very inter
ested in the confirmation which the
discovery gives, in hard facts, to the
famous Bible story.
The account of the failure of the
Nile n the continuous famine
throughout the land was told in a
number of extraordinary hierOg-
lyphics which Brugsch Bey fortu-
nately has been able to decipher.

Take a good look at the fellow who
sold it to you that you may be on your
guard If ever you see him about your

thief who robbed you.
Strange as it may seem, the thief is

Diet and Conditions of Life.

Darwin relates that the Gauchos OF
the American pampas live for months
on the fat meat of the oxen they
watch over. The Eskimos can get
along very well by eating from five
TO six pounds day of reindeer
or seals flesh, so long as it is
not too lean, but contains a due
proportion of fat. Says the author
of diet and Dietics:" Some men
obliged to live very fatiguing life
the trappers and hunters of the pam
pas of America and Siberian steppes,
the inhabitants of very cold climates,
the fishermen living on the banks OF
the frozen sea, can eat almost exclu-
sively, without suffering from it, enor-
nous quantities of meat or fish, but
on two conditions = that the meat
be accompanied by it's fat, and that
the individual subjected to this diet
lead a very active life in the open
air."

"A Prince of Sweden. +"

New, fresh and bright as a copper
cent fresh from the mint, now comes
that favorite Swedish Dialect Comedy
Drama, "a Prince of Sweden" Com
edy dramas seem to be the attractions
that draw the crowds nowadays and
so far this season IA Prince of Swed-
en-" decidedly held its own. And
justly so, for the noted theatrical
critics have been a unit in the declar-
alton that the pretty piece takes
rank side by side with Ole Olson and
Yon Yonson.
From its first presentation to the
public the play has proven highly
successful, and from the time it left
its birthplace its career has been one
continual march of triumph.
"a Prince of Sweden" always in
the hands of company of artists has
undergone several changes, all of them
for the better, and proceeds smoothly
and swiftly and is destined for long
and prosperous career because it is
one of the few plays written in Amer
lea that will always be interesting.
And the tale that the "Prince of
Sweden" tells is amusing and inter
esting enough for anybOdy's taste.
Carl Carlson, the peerless imperson-
ator, is to be seen in the leading part,
while the balance of the company
comprise list Of talented artists. To
further enliven and brighten the
evenings performance the manage
ment has added at a great expense
seven or eight high-class specialties
which are alone said to be dOubly
worth the modest price of admission
to be charged for the coming engage
ment here. This company carries a.
superb band and will give a street
parade at noon on arrival of company
and band concert in front of the
Opera House at 7;30 p. m. on Wednes-
day, May %.
