SOUL HOUSES.
Ono of the Queer Customs Of the An
cient Egyptians.

Ono of the Queer Customs Of the An
cient Egyptians.
Egyptian ''soul' houses were curious
edifces made probably between the
tenth and twelfth dynasties-that is,
about 5000 and 1900 B. C. The same
principle that caused the warrior S
steed to be slain on his grave seems to
have actuated the early Egyptians
when they built house for the dead
mans soul.
The beginning Of the custom was
that mat was laid on the grave, with
a pan of food upon it. Afterward this
Offering was carved in stone as q ta-
BILE of offerings to give permanent sat
isfaction for the soul. Then to the ta-
ble was added shelter copied from an
Arab tent. and this gradually was
elaborated. The shelter was placed on
columns, hut was put into this por-
tico, chambers We're copied, and finally
appeared complete two story houses
furnished with pottery models Of
couch, chair, stool, fireplace and the
figure Of q woman making bread
The soul was conceived Of as ascend
ing from the grave through the ground
and requiring shelter while feeding on
its everlasting provision, and yet,
though it ascended through the earth,
it needed a staircase to so up to the
upper floor, and the soul had donkey,
for which q manger was required

Blowino, the Nose.

Medical experts are calling the atten-
ton of the public to the Importance OF
performing the nose blowing operation
in q scientific and hygienic manner.
First one nostril and then the other
should be blown without undue VIC
lence- Doctors state that the two nasal
passages should never be closed at the
same time If they are oostructed, as
In the case Of Il cold, the back OF the
throat is filed with compressed air,
and this, together with the discharge
and the microbes which it contains,
may be driven through the eustachlal
tube into the middle ear and lead to
serious results 4 great authority on
the subject used to forbid his patients
to blow their noses when suffering
from 4 cold. The course is hardly one
which will commend itself to those IN
the habit Of catching colds. The best
advice would seem to be that when it
is necessary to blow the nose blowing
should be done gently.-London Mall.

Each Had Throat Trouble Just Like

AS the commuter who always board
ed the train at Paradise Hills seated
himself he was conscious that the
young man next him looked at him

man broke the ice. "You have deli
cate throat, I see," he said commis-
eratingly. 81 used to be bothered that
way myself
The commuter hesitated. There was
something about his seat mate which
invited confidence
Have you been married long," he
asked, with apparent irreleyance.
'Not so very admitted the young
man. "Why?
The commuter cautiously loosened
the bandage round his throat and,
turning toward his companion, display
ed an absurd looking, polka dotted tie
"We've been married less than q
year." he muttered, s.and she gave me
six for my birthday"
The hand Of his seat mate grasped
his in cordial, sympathetic grip.

The Discovery Of Iron.

The stone age. bronze age and iron
age so overlap one another 1t IS I'M
possible to say just when one begins
or ends. Men began to use both bronze
and iron long before stone had ceased
to be used. In fact, America was IN
the stone age so late as its discovery
By Columbus 400 years ago. 1t is safe
to say that history proper and the
iron age were born together anywhere
from 5000 to 10000 years ago. 1t is
more than likely that men gained their
first information concerning the prop
critics Of iron through experiments With
the pieces OF it that had fallen from
the sky in the shape of meteors.-Ne"

"The first game of football I wit

took for very serious riot, and you
wouldn't have blamed me either.
''In the first place, I was not aware
that the Chinese had any such game,

the American game, and instead OF
eleven players to the side there are M

giants, and every man on the team Will
be six feet or over in height and weigh
on the average 200 pounds. There are
no goals, side lines or halves. The
game lasts until one side is the winner,
and frequently this is not accomplished
before two or three days.
s'The idea Of the game is to force a
small wicker basket, which takes the
place Of our ball, into the territory Of
the other side--this territory being one

streets the fight RACES. Each man IS

SILK Manufacture.

From all accounts silk manufacture
originated in China. Chinese tradition
has it that the Emperor Fob Ii taught
his people the art of cultivating the
silkworm as early as 5000 B. G. Spain
was the first European country to re-
ceiye the silkworms, the Arab conquer
ors introducing them about the tenth
century, probably from their home on
the borders of Persia The foundation
of the silk industry in France dates
from the year 1916. when Francis L.
