ROYAL MUMMtES S.
What Has Been Learned by Study of
Series of so.


AT the request of Sir CASTOR Maspero.
director of the department of antiquities
at Cairo. Prof. Elliot Smith has examined
a series of some so mummies which COM
prise all that is left of the great Phar-
| aohs of ancient Egypt. their queens and
some members of their households. The
mummies are in the Cairo museum, and
Prof. Keith of the Royal college of sur
geons museum expresses the opinion
that never before was an anatomist
called on to examine and describe such
a series of specimens, and that it is most
improbable that any anatomist will again
have occasion to attempt similar task
The mummies examined by Prof Elliot
Smith include that of King Saanounri,
the last king of the 18th dynasty about
1900 B. c., whose battered skull and
wounded body, showing, signs of having
been hastily embalmed, bear witness to
sudden death by murder"
Then there are Menephtah, the Phar-
eoh of the Exodus, his father, Rameses
III, his grandfather. the great Seti l., his
son. Siphtah, and his grandson, Seti H.
The series ends with two mnmmies from
the tomb of Thoutmosis III. Prof. Elliot
Smith awaited himself of a unique oppor-
tunity of studying the anthropological
history of the royal dynasties and after
lapse of more than % centuries ma
terial- has been obtained with which to
form fairly accurate pictures of the APP
pearance of the Pharaoh. Thus Meneph-
tab. the Pharaoh of the Exodus, was

The History of Trousers.

The Sartorial Art Journal objecting
| TO the selection by contemporary of
the year 1872 as the centennial of thS,
general introduction of trousers as an
article OF male apeparel, says that this
garment was known and worn many
years before the date given; worn by
American sailors in the war with
Tripoli, and by soldiers and sailors in
the war of 1sf2-14 with Great Britain.
To this information an antiquary con-
tributes to The News a number of
important facts. There has long been
difference of opinion among au-
thorities whether the garment called
trousers is properly so-cailed when 1t
terminates at the knees When il
goes on the ankles other authorities
say it is trousers, though even in such
case giving preference to the word
pantaloons.
In Trumbulfs famous painting of
the signing of the Declaration of In
dependence. the noble signers. it will
be observed, have the garment in
question coming only to the knees.
Below that line of demarcation come
the home knit wooden stockings made
by the patriotic mothers OF the coun-
try.
In that earlier time the word
trousers was seldom used The gen
eral term was breeches Some of our
ancestors with Scottish blood in their
veins went so far as to say "breeks."
George Washington did not wear
trousers, did not wear pantaloons: he
wore breeehes and OF a very opulent
pattern. sample of which, made of

We have the tradition that Paul
Jones men of the Bonnie Homme
Richard in that memorable fight off
Marlborough head, September %,
1873, wore breeohes and over them, as
do the Greeks and Albanians today, a
short petticoat. Among the last peo-
pie of western Europe to doff skirts
and accept trousers we're the Scotch
Highlanders
Among the men of this country who
have adorned breeches was President
Andrew Jackson. 1t is narrated that

was receiving guests with hearty
handshake to each conner. a little man
came along whom the great man did

the fear that the storm which dashed

first vessel to make port since Sunday
He informed Captain Fred Herbert Of
the government tender Crosus that the
vessel was missing and Herbert report

About the same time Inspector House
