Two Little Bills.

Robert was in the habit of expecting
reward for every little service. At the
end of the week he made out a "bilI''
to his mother and carefully laid it
where her eyes would fall upon 1t.
The items were as follows:
Mother Owes to Robert.
give cents for running errands.
Five cents for being good"
That evening there appeared beside
Roberts plate a paper upon which vas
written:
Robert owes mother, for years of
happiness, nothing; for nursing him
through long illnesses. nothing; for do
ing good to him, nothing"
Thoroughly ashamed of himself,
Robert ran to mother, threw his arms
around her and sobbed:
Mother. / will do everything I can
for you after this, and I'll never ask
you to give me anything but just
loye."-0n&aha World Herald.

ANCIENT EMBALMERs.
Motives Which !mpelled the Esyp-
tians to Preserve the Dead.

tians to preserve Sn9 LEAD.
To appreciate the motives which Inn
PEELED the ancient Egyptians to invent
the art of embalming 1t is necessary
to throw our minds back nearly sixty
centuries. Then Egyptians were in
the habit of burying their dead in
shallow holes scraped In the soil Inn
mediately beyond the limits OF the
narrow strip Of cultivated land. AS
the result of placing the body in hot
dry sand it frequently happened that,
instead of undergoing a process OF
decay, it became desiceated and pre-
served in an incorruptible form for
an indefinite time. The burial OF valu-
able and useful objects with the dead
naturally led to grave robbing, which
was already common In the earliest
known prehistoric times in Egypt
This plundering Of graves must have
taught the people at large that the
forces Of nature were often sufficient
to preserve a dead body. In this way
1t became a part of the religion Of the
Egyptians to regard the preservation
Of the body as the condition of the
attainment of immortality.
The early Egyptians learned that the
body when placed in a coffin or buried
in a rock tomb usually underwent de-
composition. 1t was a widespread be-
lief that the stone late the flesh
hence the word "sarcophagus." Arh-
fcial mummifcation, therefore, had It's
origin in an attempt to deprive the
grave of its victory.-British Medical
Journal.

THE CASE OF PERSIA.

Persia presents a peculiar prob
lem for America. 1t seems that the
lan~d-grabbing nations of Europe
have decided ON Persia as q part of
their spofls. The country, 1t APP
pears, Is destined to be divided be-
tween England and Russia. In for
mel years the custom was, when a
weak nation was divided, for those
to whom 1t was allotted to go in and
cake possession without further
ceremony. OF course. II the natives
resisted, a few of them would be
uHcsremoniously killed of until they
were ready to cry for quarters and
show themselves willing to behave
themselves and be thankful that
their lot was not worse.
But 1t is a little different now, al
though Italy. In the case Of Tripoli,
seems to have resorted to these ia
mIliar tactics. In the case OF Per-
STA, England and Russia. having FIX
ed an agreement between them
aelves, decided to let Persia die a
natural death so as to take posses
aion with as little scandal as posi-
bic.
Even Persia has some modern
ideas, however. and realizing that
little was to be expected from Eu-
xcpa, the head men OF the nation
turned to the United States and ask
ed that someone be recommended
who could handle finances and who
might place a bankrupt nation on its
feet again. The State Department
recommended William NJ. Shuster.
who had been one Of Taft's advisers
when the latter was governor in the
Philippines.
in genuine American fashion, Mr.
Shnstar proceeded ID do things, fol
that ancient eonntrY Of Westeri
Asia. In fact, such progress was h
making that Russia became alarmed
fearing that Persia would not die
natural death after all. On one pre-
text or another Russia has mad
h~umiIiating demands of Persia an,
has kept troops on Persian soil an
within threatening distance of tn
capital of the country. Unable t
keep her real intentions covered an,
1onaer the demand has at last viz
tuaily been made for the dismissa
