One of the most important of the
works achieved by the expedition was
the excavation of the Osireion, or tenn
pie Of Osiris. This was a great sub
terranean temple consisting of pas
sage some three hundred feet long,
leading to halls and chambers. The
temple was the work Of Seti H., or
Meronptah, the Pharaoh of the Exc
dus.
The walls of the passage are COW
cred with sepulchral stones and in
scriptions describing the passage of
the dread king through the gates of
the Underworld. In one scene the
king Is represented playing draughts
with pieces in the form of animals
The construction of this subterrane-an
shrine is very fine. The walls Of the
chamber are of the finest limestone,
covered with beautifully cut inscrip-
tons. The great hall has bath of
sandstone, faced inside with red gran
tie. No royal body was found in the
tomb, but there is little doubt that it
rested there for time until removed
to the tombs of the kings at Thebes.

SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE.

Upon the solid rock Of the
rights of the individual as grant,
ed by the Constitution, the Re-
publican party builds its struc-
ture Of optimism. The Demo-
cratic party, on the other hand,
in the opening sentence of it's
address to the electorate, be-
trays it's occasional quality by
denying the right Of Congress, a
right again and again confirmed
by the Supreme Court, to estab-
Iish protective duties for the ben
eft of American industries. 1t de-
cIares as false the vital issue of
the constitutional liberties of the
Individual. Such liberties are
now assaulted by those who advo-
cate the overthrow Of the inde-
pendence Of the judiciary. 1t
would leave the individual de-
fenseIess in the protection of
those rights declared inaIienable
under the Constitution.-Charles
D. Hilles, chairman of the Re-
publican national committee.

Sneezinq as an Omen.

The only attention we pay to a
sneeze at the present day is to en-
deavor to get rid of the chill which
causes 1t; but sneeze in the days of
old Greece was a matter of great con.
eern and import.
There was then a god of sneezing,
and great undertakings would even
be abandoned If a man sneezed at an
inappropriate moment, the act being
looked upon as the oracle of the god
A sneeze between midnight and
noon was looked upon as a fortunate
sign. but between noon and midnight
It betokened great misfortune. To
sneeze to your right was lucky; to
the left unlucky. Two or four sneezes
were lucky. one or three very un.
lucky and any undertaking in hand
should If possible be abandoned; more
than four sneezes did not count
There is a saying in many parts of
England today; "Once wish, twice
e kiss, three times a letter, four times
something better" If people sneezed
together It was a good sign, particu-
larly IL they happened to be discuss
Ing business.

FENERU.s.C0NVICTS'
British System for Reforming
Army DeSerters to Be Tried.
Criminals to Be Sent to AIcatrsz
While Men Guilty Of Purely Mill
tary offenses Are to Go to
Fort LeaVenworth Prison.

Washington.-A sweeping change in
military prison methods was institut.
ed BY orders Of the War Department.
All Of the short term prisoners Of Al
eatraz island, San Francisco, have
been ordered transferred to Fort
LeaVenworth, Kansas.
All OF the hng term prisoners in
the latter institution, about 270. to be
transferred TO Alcatraz, which will
thus be made the place of confinement
for the criminal element, while Leaya
enworth will be the place Of detention
Of soldiers guilty Of purely military
offenses. To save transportation ex-
penses. second criminal jail IS Gre
ated at Fort Jay, Governors Island.
n. Y.
The effects Of these changes is to
carry out the recently developed Brit
ish system Of treating deserters and
other soldiers guilty Of breaches OF
discipline as subject to reformatory
influences and of segregating them
from the absolutely criminal and
vicious class.
In report, giving the. result Of a
recent inspection by him of the "de-
tention barracks" Of the British army
the inspector general Of the United
States army, Gen. E. A. Darlington,
said:
1T TOOK five or six years for the
detention system in England to es-
tablish itself. but it apparently has
saved many men from trouble and
from degenerating into hardened
cases. They evidently endeavor in
this system to apply humane com.
mon sense in the treatment of men in
trouble. This gives an opportunity
for the men to recover their self-re-
spect and respond to any patriotic in,
stinct which, under the stigma OF
prison life and its demoralizing en-
vironment, cannot be expected to sur.
viYe."
In his recent report General Wood,
chief Of staff, recommended that the
British system be given a trial in the
United States. Under the present sys-
tenn in the United States, soldier
convicted of desertion becomes a
Convict" and loses not only oppor-
tunity again to serve in the army but
his citizenship as well.
Under the British system the de-
serter when apprehended, or men
found guilty of other purely military
offenses, are sent TO the detention
barracks. When they are believed to
have reformed they are restored to
duty with their regiments. If they
are found to be undesirable for fur
ther service they are discharged.

BEAUTY NO LONGER A MARVEL
Time Has Gone BY When World
Stopped to Wonder at Lowell
ness Of Women.

Within the last week two well-known.
beautiful, rich society girls. both
young, both popular, with all doors to
which society has the key flung open
before them, have elected to go into an
East End hospital and scrub floors for
pauper inyalids. Perhaps they viii
not stick to 1t; the important thing is
that they want to try it.
The fact is that we are no longer
sufficiently satisfied with beauty tC
think a woman has justified herself by
being good to look at. Thirty or forty
years ago people came from every
part of the world to see Georgiana
Lady Dudley, Mrs Langtry and Mrs.
Cornwallis-West walk in the park. At
an earlier date the beautiful Cummings
caused riots, so great was the anxiety
to see them. Anne of Austria drew
people from the most inaccessible cor.
ners Of what was then a very inacces-
sible world, who made their way with
year-long journeys to Paris, caught
glimpse of her entering her carriage
and went home again saying they had
seen loyeliness itself. Today we
would not cross the road to see pret-
ty woman, possibly because there are
30 many of them. Indeed, beautiful
women of today are more admired BY
women than by men. But in any case
beauty as a profession is dead.-Lon.

Valuable Idea to the travelling

:" Be it hereby known to all my cor

stroyed all letters they would wish to
be destroyed. JOHN WARE
That notice was so extraordinary
that stopped over for late train and
called on John Ware. He was a genial
old man and willing to talk. He said
he was a person to whom people vol
unfairly conflded secrets; that many
persons in bursts OF confidence had
written letters to him which they no
doubt afterward regretted having
written.
Sometimes they said, Destroy
this sometimes they didn't. Anyhow,
John Ware had kept most OF those IN
eliminating letters. But now that he
was getting Old he had seen what
harm might result from those letters
falling into strange and unscrupulous
hands, and he had burned them and
had taken that novel way OF notifying
his correspondents that they were
safe.

thinking. The first thing I did when
got back to New York was to burn a
