-"
One OF our western senators. who
possesses rather irascible temper,
has a habit on days when everything
seems to go wrong of scolding the
clerks employed by his committee.
Not long ago, during session Of
the senate. the western solon had ex-
pressed desire that one Of the clerks
prepare a tabulated statement Of GER
tain trade statistics Of the United
States. The statement was according
ly prepared and laid before the testy
senator, who glanced at it with an air
that boded trouble. In moment he
looked up and exclaimed:
sSee here, Morton, this won't do.
Why didn't you prepare this statement
on the typewriter? These figures are
disgraceful. Observation-Disclosures

the clerk apologetically. "The fact is,

Relics Of an unknown Race.

DR.. George A. Reisher. professor OF
Egyptology at Harvard, who is con-
Quoting explorations and excavations
in Egypt, has sent word that he has
discovered evidences of a people and
a civilization that existed In upper
Egypt 1900 years ago and of which
no record or evidence has heretofore
existed. He made these discoveries
at a. point which marks one of the
outposts to the south of ancient
Egyptian civilization, near Kerma and
not far from the Nile.
According to Dr. Reisner the inhabi-
tants were neither Egyptians nor ne
groes, and their pottery is the finest
and most beautiful made in the Nile

has sent to the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts were taken from the graves
of chiefs.
Apparently six or seven subjects
were buried alive with the body of
each chief.

her marriage, or, she would have been saved
much misery and modification. 1t is said that
when Nelly Custis announced her engagement the
general said: Question yourself. Is he man
of sense? For be assured sensible woman can
never be happy with fool James Monroe
no fool, but the end of this romantic courtship
is another story.
I It is more than probable that steady supply
of food and clothing reached the camp from many
of the nearby places for it is certain that Carlisle
had number of women, headed by Mrs John
Armstrong, who employed every leisure moment
knitting stockings or scraping lint for the SOL
diers. This lady was born in Ireland and had
married Irishman. bit was devoted to her
adopted country and countrymen. There were
other Pennsylvania women who sacrificed time
and comfort for the brave defenders. Mrs John
Bull was approached by Lord Howe, who tried to
bribe her to induce her husband to join the Eng
lish army and desert his command colonel of
the First Pennsylvania, but she proudly refused.
Her descendants doubtless would be proud to
read the unpublished history preserved by the
writer.
Mrs. Mif1in (Sarah Morris) sent stockings Of
her own making to be distributed among the sol
diers writing: I'm this way do throw in my
mite to the public good. I know this-that as
free can die but once, but as slave shall
not be worthy of life, and have the pleasure to
assure you that these are the sentiments of

story is told of him that at dinner at Valley
Forge General Knox said to him: Porter, how
does 1t happen that you look genteel while
the rest of us are in rags although you receive
no better pay than we?" To this Captain Porter
replied: my wife took this coat apart and
turned it inside out, SO you see it now as good
as new and then went on to relate how she
had visited him but had lost her way, when she
met gentleman out of uniform, of whom she
asked directions. The officer tghtened the girths
of her saddle and admired her horse, which, Mrs
Porter proudly declared, home bred. Then
walking beside the rider, the person conducted
the lady to her husbands quarters raised his hat
and strolled away.
After welcome, Captain Porter said:
We'll, my lady, you, came into camp highly es
corted by the commander in-chief."

Musical Chicago.

Figures compiled by the Chicago AS
sociation of Commerce show that:
"The city has the largest factories for
the production of the best musical in
struments in the world. There are in
Chicago 100 firms engaged in the piano
business. Of these rs have their own

$4,000 is spent by Ch1cagoans annual

musical instruments. The sheet music
business in Chicago amounts to 81 ,500,-
600 year" 1t is estimated that more
than $2,O00,000 is paid each year to
private music teachers by Chicagoans
desirous ofslearning the art of playing
some instrument. More than 1000, 900

Let the Tongue Be True.

The tongue that has been dedicated
o Christ will not be kind at the ex-
pense of sincerity. The desire to be
pleasant and agreeable leads many
kind-hearted persons into unmeant du-
plicity. This is the pitfall that ever
yawns beside the one who would
speak gently and approvingly. "The
fatterer and the liar we're hatched
rom the same egg" says the wise In
lila proverb. A tongue must be true
above all else before it can be used
by Christ

parable which is our lesson. Many
who do not stipulate reward shall
be first, while many who work and

twelve should be associated with him
