The miniature republic of San Ma

the annual expenses met by taxation
amount to 100000. The country has

THE LAND OF GRAVES.
Ancient Egyptians Believed In Con-
slant Reminders of Death.

To the Egyptian death was but the
beginning of q career of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions Of this life
were tame. He lived with the fear of
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him of that
dreadful initiation into the mysteries
of the tremendous after life for which
his present existence was but a prep
aration. His cemeteries were not hid
den away In remote suburbs; his dead
were not covered with mere grassy
mounds or q slab Of stone. The whole
land was his graveyard; its whole art
vas Of the mortuary. Are there nc
graves in Egypt that thou hast brought
us into the wilderness to die?" asked
the Israelites in derision, and we may
believe that Moses WINGED at the sar-
caSm.
Egypt is the land of graves, and the
whole energy of the people that could
be spared from keeping life together
was devoted to death. The mightiest
tombs in the world-the pyramids
were raised upon the deaths of multi
tudes Of toiling slaves. The hills were
honeycombed passages and galleries,
chambers, pits, all painfully eXcavated
in honor of the illustrious dead and
s%culptured and painted with elaborate
skill to make them fit h%abitations for
his ghost.
Wherever he looked the Egyptian be-
held preparations for the great turning
point of existence. The mason was
squaring blocks for the tomb chamber;
the potter nodded images of the gods
or bowls and jars to be placed in the
grave for the protection or refreshment
of the Ka, exhausted with the Ordeals
of the underworld; the sculptor and
painter were at work upon the walls
of the funeral chamber, illustrating the
pass or depicting the industrious life
of the departed.
The very temples which cluster along
the levels beside the Nile were in a
sense but vestibules to the tombs in
the hills behind. The sacred lake, now
the weedy, picturesque haunt of water
fowl, was then the scene of solemn
ferryings of the dead. The temple
walls were covered with the terrors of
the judgment to come. The houses of
the living, indeed, were built of per-
ishing mud. but the homes of the dead
and the shrines where su%pplication was
made to the gods who ruled their fate
were made to last forever. On these
all the strength, the science and the
artistic skill of the ancient Egyptians
were ch%eerfully lavished.-London Sat

A Preserve Owners Sick Trout.

A man whose experience as a sports
man had been limited to an occasional
days fishing in the mountains bought
for himself Il place with a fine trout
preserve on Long Island. He looked
forward with great interest to the last
opening day, as that would be his first
opportunity to fish in his own pond,
and when the day at last arrived the
first streak of daylight found him leav-
ing his house, rod in hand.
A day or two later Il sportsman friend
inquired as to what luck he had had.
Il caught plenty of fish, and big
ones, too" responded the owner of the
preserve. There are plenty of trout
in the pond, but they all seem to be
sick"
why, what's the matter with
them?" asked the sportsman.
We'll" answered the preserve own
er, ito tell the truth, we were afraid
to eat them. Their flesh is pink, and |
never saw a brook trout hat color be-
fore"
Don't you know, man." exclaimed
the sportsman, with a laugh. that any
trout will turn pink if it lives in salt
water? Your pond empties into the
sound, and of course the trout run in
and out. The next time you have any
of that sort of sick trout just send
them in to me, and I'll eat them for
YOU with pIeasure."-New York Times.

The Wild Boar.

The wild boar is a most courageous
animal. The element of luck counts
for Il great deal in pig sticking. as in
most other forms of sport, and it often
happens that the foremost sportsman
who by dint of hard riding or thanks
to the fastest horse has come up with
the quarry is deprived of the coveted
honor of first spear" by a sudden
link" or turn of the pig. The boar,
in spite of his clumsy appearance. is
not only possessed of. a great turn of
speed, but is extraordinarily active. He
will urn and twist like a hare, putting

SYMPTOMS OF RABIES.
Signs by Which You Msy Know Wneb
a Dog Is Really Mad.

Hydrophobia is so rare and terrifying
that its symptoms and treatment aro
little understood. AS a matter Of fact
The commonly accepted expression OF
madness in a dog is often misleading.
The real mad dog does not shun wa
ter, as it is said. On the contrary,
mad dogs often rush to the water anc
drink it eagerly. if they are able to
swallow. The mad dog does not froth
at the mouth. 1t does not run amuck,
swapping at everything in its path.
What, then, are the indications OF the
mad dog? To those familiar with q
given dog the surest symptom and the
one which should excite closest atten-
ton is a distinct and unaccountable
change in the dogs disposition. a staid
dog becoming eXcitable and a frisky
one dull. That condition does not nee
essarily mea rabies. but it is sus-
piciOus, and if in addition the dog has
trouble in swallowing, as though il
seemed to have a bone in it's throat,
beware! That dog should be instantly
tied up, because if it be rabies it takes
but a day II two for ferociOus in
stincts to develop. The unmistakable
evidence, however, of a dog with
rabies is the sticky, whitish saliva
which covers the teeth and shows on
the drawn lips. The eyes glare and
are red; the dog has paroXysms of run
ming fury. during which it barks
h~oarsely, which alternate with periods
of temporary exhaustion. Caspar

When Patrick McGinnagan became
a member of the Chicago police force
a delegation of his friends burst in
upon him while he was at dinner and
presented him with a handsome night

by this unexpected token, the new po-
liceman nevertheless struggled to his
feet and stammered his appreciation.

Judge Taft's Friend, Who Is Managing

During the Roosevelt administration
the tennis cabinet" has been an i'm
portant factor in affairs of state.
Should Judge William II. Taft occupy
the White House for the next four
years golf will doubtless become the
administration sport, as the Republic

the game, and it suits his portly build
better than tennis, which neceSSitateS

publicanS who agree with Judge Taft
as to the general superiority of golf as
q sport is Arthur l. VOrys, manager of

good game of golf despite the fact that
his right hand is minus several fingers.
Mr.. NOryS' father, Isaiah VOrys, was

Needles.

Needles were undoubtedly the in
vention of prehistoric man, as they
have been discovered among the old
est remains of human life. Some
rude specimens made of horses
bone and evidently intended for
sewing skins were found not long
since in a cave in France, together
with other traces of primitive life.
Needles have also been discovered
in the oldest Egyptian tombs and
among the remains of the lake
dwellings of Switzerland. The date
of the invention of steel needles is
unknown; but, judging from the
rich embroidered garments de-
scribed in ancient record, it would
appear that fine needles of steel
or some other material were in use
at a very early period.

A Fish Marinade,

Before cooking fish French chefs
are wont to marinade it by letting
it stand six hours in the following
mixture: Put in an earthen basin
one small sliced white onion, three
chopped parsley roots, half lem
on, sliced; two cloves, a crushed
bay leaf, half a teaspoonful of
ground thyme, one teaspoonful of
whole black peppers, one teaspoon
full of allspice, three tablcspoonfuls
of vinegar, one tablespoonful of salt
and one quart of cold water. Mix
all these ingredients together and
cover the fish with the mixture. At
the end of the six hours remove the
fish and drain it. The marinade
does not have to be thrown away.
1t may be used again. Put it in a
stone jar and place the jar in a cool
place. 1t will then keep two weeks.
