a distinguished scientist attached to

contends. when the rays are made

Every one knows that spurious
mummies have been planned OF upon
the public. Recently a doubt arose
In aLondon museum as to the validity
sof 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 u~p-to-date town.
So the officials at once turned the Ro-
cntgen rays upon her, with the re-
suit that they Immediately perceived
through her many-folded wraps the am

the bosomg OF their dead. So the sus-
picions Of the museum officials were

OFFER SHEEP IN SACRIFICE
Animals Killed at Steps Of Palace In
constantinopie on Feast Of

The Idea Of animal sacrifice seenkAl
strange in modern Europe. But 1t must
not be forgotten that ConstantinoplsI
Is Turkish. In spite OF the numerous
desires on the part OF other nations
to possess tor rather because those
are 80 numerous.
The new regime in Turkey II up
to date In many things. 1t Ii ~estabiiah-i
ing schools, planning railroads and
hoping to take It's place by right, and
not by ~suffrance, among the nations IT
the world. But the favor OF the devout
Mussulman is sought by strict observ-
apce Of religious festivals.
The second feast OF Bariam In the
occasion. Of sacrifice. Its date II vsrtar
BILE, since the Turkish year II lunar.
and not solar. Last ysar Am In
December and 1t lasts four days.
In anticipation IL this festival.
droves OF fat sheep were taken to
tho city from Roumelia and Asia
Minor. The price varied from
"a to rs. In all the rich and svsnl
weltto-do houses these shssp wers sac-
rif1ced, and the fiesh in most cases
given to tho poor.
Naturally the most elaborate csrs-
many was at the royal palace of Dol
ma Bagtchs. The sheep, picked for
their whitensss and plumpnsss, 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 frst Of the victims
was led to the marble step that be-
came the szcrifosl altar.
The sultan made the motions OF
killing the sheep, but actually handed
the knife to an officer, who waited un-
TIL the sultan had withdrawn before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 sn Turkey that

One OF the old rites OF Bairam was

This is now omitted In Constantinopie.
But 1t can be imagined that in the

OBJECTIONS To
SCHOOL CHANGE
Continued from page -

schools have already produced far
too many nervous wrecks.
While the change Is not stated in
the papers to be to arranged for de-
1inquents, yet that seems to be the
reason. These may be requested to
return to school for from 2:90 on.
In other words, the change is being
made to benefit the dei1nquents,
whether in scholarship or deTort-
ment, the real punishment to fall
upon the bright and good students
and their parents. II only an hours
intermission Is needed for these de-
linquents, then why the present
midday intermission of an hour and
a half? Why not make the hours
for all the students from 8:45 until
~, and from / until 2:30, and then
keep the delinquents from ESQ on?
That will not make any less hours
than now at school, although | think
the time ought to be shortened; and
1t will not keep anybody any later
in tho afternoon, and will provide
for a midday meal hour. I thor
oughly believe in the preceptorial
system, in special work with back
ward students. There would be less
need for this special work, however,
IL the number of our teachers In all
our schools were increased at once,
SO that the classes might be made
smaller, to the end that more atten-
ton might be given by each teacher
to the individual student. This Is
the point where the trouble lies.
The proposed plan Cor caring for the
Il ~J4n ~ :, ,f 90 a ~ ~ a n hny1N nffnN
high school is only caring for the
products of a poor system; provide
against the leakage earlier, in the
grades, and there will be fewer de-
/ know whereof I speak when I
say that our children at the present
time are not sufficiently grounded in
the elementary subjects of education.
They have a smattering of things
they do not know them IS they
should. There Is not a teacher my
where in the city who will not own
up to it, II the truth Is told. This is
not an Indictment against the teach
ers, many of whom are doing the
best they know how, but against the
whole citizenship of our city, who
are pursuing a penny wise, pound
foolish" policy. To have more
teachers costs money but Honeysis
cheaper than boys and girls.
Now Messrs. the Board OF Educa-
ton, who have done SO well hereto
fore, please reconsider this matter
and give us some relies from what
is threatened. Have q single high
school session IL YOU will, but do
not extend it beVond4a reasonable
time, say 1890. And whatever hour
is set for the midday intermission,
which does not seemato me to need
to be mora than one hour, let it be
the same time for air the schools of
our city. We believe In you, and
want to give you our hearty support.
But we are going to kick mighty
hard against any such proposition
as you are putting up to us just now.

they all became very sick. They
started for this city at once and
managed to reach their homes,
although suffering greatly. DR.. Stoll
was called and soon had them out Of
danger, but they were very i'll for
some time. What was left Of the
cake was analysed and found to con-

by mistake for cream Of tartar, and
the ladies were fortunate that the
consequences were o more serious.
