The pyramids.

Two principal theories have been
advanced for the erection of the
pyramids of Egypt. Operi that each
king on ascending the throne began
to build pyramid as a tomb and
monument to himself. This was
usually laid out upon a compare
lively small scale, so that if the
builder had but a short reign his
tomb might be complete. As time
passed successive layers were added,
and the size of the monument was
thus proportional to the length of
the builders reign. This theory is
combated by Petrie, who believed
that each pyramid was begun and
carried out upon definite design
of size and arrangement.

Editorial Repartee.

A western weekly prints the fol-
lowing:
''Paterfamilias asks, How can l
get an article into your esteemed
paper?' 1t all depends on the arti-
Gle you want to get into our paper,
Pater. If it is small in bulk, like
hairbrush or a tea caddy, spread
the paper out upon the floor and,
placing the article carefully in the
center, neatly fold the edges over it
and tie with a string. This will
keep the article from slipping out.
If, on the other hand, the article is
an English bathtub or a clothes
horse you will find it more suited
to one of the New York Sunday
papers. "-Everybody's Magazine.

AN INsoLENT DOCTOR.
Instances Of the Rudeness Of the Fa-
nous Abernethy.


The Duke Of Wellington, having
insisted on seeing DR.. Abernethy
out of his usual hours and abruptly
entering his room, was asked by the
doctor how he got in. 'By that
door," was the reply. Chem" said
Abernethy, 81 recommend you to
make your exit by the same way"
He refused to attend George ~.
until he had delivered his lecture at
the hospital, in consequence of
which he lost a naval appointment.
To lady who complained that on
holding her arm over her head she
felt pain he said, "Then what fool
you must be to hold it upW He
was fond of calling people fools. A
countess consulted him, and he of
fered her some pills, when she said
she could never take pill. "Not
take a pill! What fool you must
be-" was the courteous reply.
A farmer of immense bulk came
from distance to consult him, and,
having given an account of his daily
meals, which showed an immense
amount of animal food, Abernethy
said: eco away, sir! l won't at
tempt to prescribe for such hogP
A loquacious lady he silenced by
telling her to put out her tongue.
She having done SO, 'Now keep it
there till l have done talking" said
Abernethy. A lady having brought
her daughter, he refused to pre-
scribe for her, but told the mother
to let the girl take exercise. HaV-
ing received his guinea, he gave the
shilling to the mother and said,
"Buy the girl skipping rope as
you go along"
When the Duke of York consult
ed him he stood whistling, with his
hands in his pockets, and the duke
said, 81 suppose you know who l
amp" Suppose do" was the un-
courtly reply. "What of that" To
a gentleman who consulted him for
an liberated throat and wanted him
to look at it he said, GLOW dare you
suppose that 1 would allow you to
blow your sinking, foul breath in
my face?" But sometimes he met
a Tartar.
A gentleman who could not sue
coed in getting the doctor to listen
to his case suddenly locked the
door, put the key in his pocket
and took out loaded pistol. Aber-
nethy, alarmed, asked if he meant
to murder him. No. He only
wanted him to listen to his case and
meant to keep him a. prisoner till
he did. The patient and surgeon
afterward became great friends.

ceIIuIoid.

Celluloid is a plastic material
composed of gun cotton and cam
phor. The gun cotton, or nitro-cel-
lulose, is made by treating tissue
paper with a mixture of nitric and
sulphuric acids. The product is
mixed with camphor and various
pigments to produce the desired
color, and the materials are thor
oughly incorporated by means of
heated rolls. 1t is subsequently
submitted to great pressure. 1t is
afterward nodded into form by
means Of heated dies under pres
sure. 1t is very hard and elastic
and takes a high finish.

Toledo Appreciates.

Albany people should appreciate
the efforts of its young people to
help themselves and furnish enter
tainment by patronizing such affairs
as the recent minstrel show given
here by the members of Company G.
and the Albany band. After weeks
of hard work the show was staged
in the local opera house. The per-
formance was of high quality, and
the small attention it received from
local residents is to be deplored.
For all their work the band and
militia boys only cleared thirteen
dollars. Herald.
We do things different over here.
When the fire boys gave minstrel
show, standing room was at a pre-
MUM. And all local talent shows
given here have always been well
patronized.
