THE TOMBS OF THE PHAROAHS.

The ingenuity displayed by the an
cient Egyptians to prevent robbers
from breaking into the Pharaohic
graves merits admiration from present
day engineers, writes Dr. Holscher,
chief architect in the Prussian gov
eminent, in a work he has just com
pIeted on the sarcophagUs of Khafra,
the builder of the second Ghizeh pyra-
mid. who rei6ned III Egypt some 5000
years ago.
The lid of the red granite sarcopha-
gus was dovetailed with minute pre-
cision into the receptacle. To prevent
the cover from being drawn back. the
Egyptian builders bored two holes in
the lid at the edge, not showing above.
These correspondent exactly with two
similar holes, less deep than the
other two, sunk in the front Of the
receptacle. Two copper bolts We're
then placed in the lid holes and at
the moment the sarcophagus was fully
closed the holes met and the bolts
dropped in position from the upper
holes partly into the lower. thus max
ing it impossible to remove the lid.
1t must have struck the Egyptian
engineers that grave robbers might
get at the body by turning the sar-
cophagus upside down, in which case
the bolts would glide back into their
original position and permit the lid
being drawn out. To prevent this,
they filled the lower holes with wax
and made the bolts hot. Upon the lid
being placed in position, the bolts
melted their way into the wax and
upon cooling, became SO firmly fixed
that nothing short of complete de
struction could open the royal tomb
1t must have been a herculean labor
to hew the whole edge away, but that
is what grave decorators did, and
the wax can still be seen in the bore

SHOPPING FOR OTHERS.
A Calling for Women that Is Profit
able Through the Commits
sions Paid.

"A great deal has been said about
the professional shopper" said a wo-
man who follows this calling, but
not every one knows what a profess
sional shopper really is.
I took up the profession myself
simply because l found others could
do well by it. At that time. four
years afo, | had worked up from two
years clerking in a dry goods store
TO the duty of seeing what our rivals
in business were doing. The work
gave me experience. 1 had the natu-
raj instincts of a good buyer and
bargain hunter and l wanted to in
crease my earnings.
In professional shopping | simply
execute commissions. largely from out
of town correspondents. Two years
ago / bought a good second hand
typewriter, which 1 write on my
self and which gives my patrons an
easy letter to read, all of which
counts. BY appointment l will go
shopping with customers, help them
in their selection and not charge
them anything for this service.
I am qualified at all times to fur
nish by correspondence to those out
of town the latest facts and fash
ions. / can purchase materials at a
great saving at times owing to my
dealings with wholesale houses and
even with the manufacturers. l will
in all cases furnish the names of the
dealers where l buy, if desired, but
with the understanding with the deal
ers that any purchases from my pat
rons will be credited to my account.
From private customers my ellen
tele has now grown to include dress
makers all over the country and l am
now increasing my patronage by do
ing the buying twice a year for small
dry goods shops in small cities.
In order to reach customers you
must advertise. l word my advertise
ments something like this: Regis

CELEBRATION DATE
STILL UNSETTLED
The Matter Has Been Left for Mr..
RooseVcIt's Decision.

The fixing of the date of the celc-
bratiOn in honor of the completion of
the Roosevelt dam seems to be about
as far up in the air as ever but that
it has not been forgotten that Theo-
dOre Roosevelt intends To come here
on that occasion if possible and that
everything possible will be done here
to suit his convenience is indicated
by correspondence between J. p
Orme, president of the Water Users
association. and Mr. Roosevelt
Some time ago Mr.. Orme wrote to
Mr.. Roosevelt. asking him to be here
on February % next, the date tenta-
lively fixed for the celebration. Mr..
Roosevelt replied that it would be i'm
possible for him to come on that date,
but that he could do so a month later.
Mr.. Orme then wrote him asking him
to fix the date To suit his conven-
fence any time between March l and
May Is. Mr.. Orme received a letter
from one of Mr.. Roosevelt's seCretar-
les yesterday, acknowledging receipt
of his latest communication. The date
is still unsettled. but doubtless Mr.
Roosevelt will be able to name a con-
venient day as soon as he gets n
few pending political engagements out
Of the way.
