USING x-RAY ON PRINCESS
Suspicious Of British Museums Off
Gals Regarding Egyptian Mummy
Are AlIayed.

A distinguished scientist attached to
one of the government bureaus at
Washington suggests that there may be
such a thing as using the X-rays too
much and too often, especially, he
contends, when the rays are made
the medium to pry into the antece-
dents of a young woman of royal lin
cage, resting for the moment under
unjust suspicious.
Every one knows that spurious
mummies have been planned off upon
the public. Recently a doubt arose
in London museum as to the validity
of one daughter of the Pharaohs in
the collection. 1t occurred to the
museum officials that, in view Of the
general hollowness of life, the young
woman in question might have been
manufactured in some up-to-date town
So the officials at once turned the Ro-
entgen rays upon her, with the re-
suit that they Immediately perceived
through her many-folded wraps the am
ulets which the Egyptians placed upon
the bosoms of their dead So the sus-
picions of the museum officials were
allayed. One of them remarked: at
does seem a little hard that after the
lapse of several thousands of years
lady should be suspected of impos-
ture."

In this order. 8. 3. Z, 8. 5. 4. 3, 2. 1, the
numbers themselves being as follows:
219. 1873. 057. $40. 1905. 1914. 1888. 1852

be provided, consisting Of two partt
lions. into one of which put several
tickets marked with the number %.
and into the other put as many tickets,

part of the bag containing the number
% and ask a person to take out one
ticket only. after which dexterously
change the opening and desire another
person to take a ticket from the other
part. Let them now multiply their
two numbers together and tell you the
last figure Of the product, by which
you will readily determine from the
foregoing series what the remaining
figures must be. Suppose. for exam

were 70 and IL. Then as the product

Better Keep the Boy.

At nightfall the junior partners ex-
ultation Of the day changed to chagrin
and he clamored noisily for the errand
boys dismissal.
Better think it over" the senior
partner advised
"Why waste time in thinking" the
junior retorted, when he's got to go?
Here 1 am, lying awake every night
for a week planning an effective win
dow decoration, which is turned into a
laughing stock the first day by the
stupidity of that boy, who leaves three
yards of blue wooden dust rag draped
around silver tankards and trays Of
diamonds"
WELL" said the elder jeweler,
people stopped and looked, didn't
they?"
Eyes, but what of It? That dust
rag?" growled the junior.
That's why | advise you to keep
the boy" advised the senior mildly. "If
it hadn't been for him am afraid no.

Erom Brown 70 ereen.

When all the brown Is turning green
The baby buds and leaves are seen.
They push heir heads out one by one
And nod and smile 10 greet the sun.
When all the brown is turning green
The little birds their feathers preen.
They love the coming Of the spring.
And so they build and nest and sing.
When all the brown is turning green
Over the brook the bushes lean
And dip their fingers In the tide
And scatter drops on every side.
A little child may love them all
The buds. the brook. the birds that cali
And watch the spring come softly down
To change TO green the earth so brown
And so like to romp and play
On such q warm and sunny day.

OFFER SHEEP IN SACRIFICE
Animals Killed at steps Of Palace In
constantlnopIe on Feast Of
Balram.

The idea OF animal sacrifice seems
strange in modern Europe. But Il must
not be forgotten that ConstantInople
Is Turkish, in spite of the numerous
desires on tho part OF other nations
to possess it--or rather because those
are so numerous.
The new regime IN Turkey IA W
to date in many things. II is establish
ing schools, planning railroads and
hoping to take It's place by right, and
not by suffrance, among the nations Of
the world. But the favor of the devout
Mussulman is sought by strict observ-
ance of religious festivals.
The second feast of Bariam is the
occasion of sacrifice. It's date is varia-
BILE, since the Turkish year is lunar,
and not solar. Last year came in
December and It lasts four days.
In anticipation Of this festival,
droves of fat sheep we're taken to
the city from Roumelia and Asia
Minor. The price varied from
"a to IS. In all the rich and even
well-to-do houses these sheep were sac
riflced, and the flesh in most cases
given to the poor.
Naturally the most elaborate cere-
many was at the royal palace Of Dol
ma Bagtche. The sheep, picked for
their wilderness and plumpness, were
solemnly led to the palace. At the
hour fixed the sultan, surrounded by
his staff, descended the steps and read
a prayer, while the first Of the victims
was led to the marble step that be-
came the sacrifcal altar.
The sultan made the motions of
killing the sheep but actually handed
the knife to an officer, who waited I'M
til the sultan had withdrawn before
completing the sacrifice.
In the last three years the custom
has grown up that the skins and wool
of all the sheep killed in Turkey that
day belong to the sailors.
One Of the old rites Of Bairam was
to consign all Christians to massacre.
This is now omitted in Constantinople
But it can be imagined that in the
oasis of Tripoli this part Of the cere-
monies is carried out with emphasis.

win Try to outIIve All Others

The oldest member of Parliament in
the world. the Hungarian deputy, M.
Joseph Madarasz. who is now in his
ninety-ninth year, issues a denial Of
the statement that he is about to re-
tire into private life. M. Madarasz
says that he means to retain his man
date till he has completed his one hun
dredth year. If not longer. He carries
a list Of all the centenarians In the
world constantly with him, and marks
them Off as they die. He is deter
mined to outlive them all, and some
day to have the distinction of being
the Oldest man in the world.

A humble and honest fisherman
who set his traps for pickerel on a
Maine pond the other day is ready to
make AFFIDAVIT as follows: 81 hereby

pickerel on one hook. The first pick
erel swallowed the bait and didn't

hook out under his gills and it fioated
off in the water to be grabbed by a
second pickerel. Thus there came up
two pickerel, all strung on a line

Certain virtues are divided from
vices by so narrow line that we must
discern very clearly to see the differ
ence. Few men can distinguish pride
from vanity; perseverance from stub
bornness; economy from avarice. The
same is true OF courage as distin-
guished from effrontery. The courag-
eous man must have ambition. not
merely dream Of what he would like
to have. The audacious have been
found fault with for their brutality in
overcoming all obstacles-but force is
necessary to accomplish any real pur-
pose.-Chicago American.
