Gives Course Of Lectures.

In 1eS9-9O Miss Amelia +. Edwards. the
founder Of the Egypt exploration fund. in
honor Of the members in the United
States gave course Of lectures VI pom the
land OF the Pharaohs and made Egypt
ology a household word on this side Of
the Atlantic. Without her enthusiasm
and selr-sacrif1ce funds would have been
lacking for excavation whose results have
not only enriched museums, but have
brought to our knowledge many lost
link in the history Of civilization.
Probably no society in the world was
ever organized upon more liberal basis.
The rules were:
To organize excavations in Egypt with
a view to further elucidate the history
and arts of ancient Egypt and to illus
trate the Old Testament narrative In SO
far as it had to do with Egypt and the
Egyptians.
To publish periodically descriptions of
the sites explored and excayated and OF
the antiquities brought to light.
To insure the preservation of such an
tiquities by presenting them to museums
and other similar institutions.
No one could foresee the richness Of
these presentations to the American side
of this cowork. Life members of the
society who sent $125 and members sub
scribing IS annually received in return
the beautifully illustrated volume for
each year, and in 1901 each member was
presented with fgurine Of more than
1000 years antiquity from the Shrine OF
Osiris at AbydOs.

Coal in New Zealand.
From Casters Magazine.

From Casters Magazine.
Coal is blamed in many parts OF New
Zealand. but the chief mines are in the
Westport district, in South Nelson; the
Grey district. in Westland; in Otago and
Auckland The best Goals occur in the
two former, the Westport mines produc-
ing a quality scarcely equaled through
ont tho world
Six hundred and fifty thousand tons OF
this coal were mined in 1907. and the
total is increasing rapidly as new fields
are opened up. At the end of 1905 the
MISREPRESENTATION Company began work
with an electric plant capable Of furnish
Ing 100 tons per day. Like many other
west coast mines, this is situated
1000 feet above the sea, though this dis
advantage is rninimZed by electric tram
ways and endless-ropc inclines controlled
by modern hydraulic brakes. The supply
Is abundant and uniformly good. and cut
ting is easy and safe. Large areas con-
tanning thick seams Of the same coal are
untouched in the vicinity OF the mines at
present being worked. The British ad-
niralty are customers OF this coal. and
have been since before the days of the
Cilliope. which made her famous exit
from Apia harbor burning Westport fuel.

BAIT FOR STUBBORN HORSE.
Truckload of Green Bananas Urged
Him Forward.
From Tho New York Sun.


An ingenious scheme To move IA stub
born horse was employed one afternoon
last week down on Broad street. The
wheel Of truck became wedged III q rut
I'm the pavement. After vainly trying -
get the horse to move forward the drive
of the truck began 10 ply the whip. with
the result that the horse became stubborn
and refused to make any effort.
Two or three men put their shoulders
to the truck without avail and the driver
was In a quandary when another truck
loaded with green bananas came along.
The driver of this truck stopped his horse
and jumped down from his seat 10 give
the first driver a little advice.
The driver of the stubborn horse wanted
TO break off a green banana from one ot
the punches in the other drivers truel:.
but the second driver would not allow
him to do so. Instead Of breaking off =
banana the driver of the second truck
ia cked up his truck that the stubborn
horse could almost reach the fruit by
stretching his neck, but at the same time
could not bite one OF the bananas with
out moving forward.
The stubborn horse when he caught
sight of the green fruit stretched his
neck as far as he could, only to find that
he was a couple of inches short. The
horse deliberated few minutes and
when he showed willingness to move
forward the men again put their shou'-
ders 10 the wheels of the truck. Finding
he had assistance the horse moved for
ward, but at the same time the drive
OF the truck in front moved his horse
and the stubborn animal found that he
was just as far away from the bananas
as he was before. So he moved forward
again. BY this method the horse &as
finally coaNed TO pull the truck ont ~
the rut, and She driver of the second
truck continued TO drive the load Of
bananas In front of the stubborn horse
for a block or SO.

WOMEN AS WINTER CAMPERS.
Best Dress and Outfit for a Health
Outing in the Snow.

From Duluth NeTS-lripune.
Every winter more and more women
are going north to camp in the pine
woods and to hunt moose and deer dur
ing the snowy season.
This is not SO much o: handicap as
1t sounds. In the first place the cold.
although in some cases 80 degrees be-
low zero, is a dry cold and therefore ex-
hilarating and not depressing: secondly,
moose and deer are far easier to track
and overtake when the snow is on the
ground. as they cannot move so fast.
Then, too, camping in log cabin is a
much snugger arrangement than in q
tent and there are far worse things than
eating hearty camp cooking done over a
roaring fire when the snow Is SO cold it

Women will not mind the cold any
more than men If they dress properly
for it, and right here let it be said tina.

coat is also good for very cold days. but
the best thing is to wear a chamo.s or
fur lining to the half-fitted jacket Of the

The woman camper should take plenty
of cold cream, but no other adjuncts t,

hands. She will find a mans fur cap

and solid mans sport, and should dress
accordingly and take things as they
come cheerfully and like a good fellow.

No Record of Wharfage.

There is no record of the lots on the
river ever being used for wharfage pur-
poses. though at Hamburger there was a
wharf and one at the glasshouse. In
some old families there is a tradition
that hereabouts many wild ducks,
partridge and other game was bagged,
and il is also said there was good fish

After the construction of the CheSa-
