Tools Egyptians Used.

Stone implements and household
tools, estimated to be 10000 years old,
forming part Of a collection owned
by Meremptah, son and successor to
Rameses the Great, 1900 years before
Christ, have been unearthed In the
prehistoric monarch's palace at Men,
phls. ancient capital of Egypt.
Advices telling Of these import dis
coveries have reached the university
museum in Philadelphia from DR..
Clarence S. Fisher, leader of the Eek
ley i. Coke, Jr., expedition to Egypt.
In full report, Doctor Fisher de-
scribes wandering through the spa
cious halls of the great palace that for
centuries lay buried in ancient Menu
phis. Gold ornaments, scarabs, ves-
sells of various kinds and vases were
found intact, just as they must have
been when the lords Of those days de-
parted. ~
Many Of the relics found, says
Doctor Fisher, date back to the stone
age. Traces of q fire that must have
ravished the palace are found on every
side, according to the archeologist.-

The first use of the phrase, "a dark

1t was Flynn's custom to ride this

MADE "B0oKIEs" LOOK SILLY
Visitor From Dublin Turned Neat
Trick on London Sharks Who
Had Boosted Too Loudly.

A Dublin man, being on a vacation
in London recently, patronized a no
tel resorted to by two English book
les and, being continually and unmer-
cifully twitted by them. decided on re-
venge. In the smOkeroOm one eve
ming the trio were discussing the dex-
terIty of pickpockets, when our friend,
who had adroitly introduced the sub
ject. declared that there was nothing
wonderful about their work at all.
Any ordinarily smart man could do
what they do.
81 could easily lift any man, II I
so wished" he declared, mo matter
who or how alert he might be-"
'sBet you fifty to tanner you don't
lift that toff over there, Mr.. Mick
or Pat, or whatever your name Is"
snapped one of the bookies, at the
same time indicating the only other
occupant of the room--a gentleman
standing at distant window.
"Done," said our friend, and the
money was taken. He approached the
gentleman and spoke to him, at the
same time relieving him Of his watch
and chain, tie pin and pocketbook. The
gentleman didn't apparently notice
anything wrong. but the bookies could
distinctly see the operation. Our
friend won his bet and the bookie lost
his temper next day on discovering
that our friend and the gentleman
whom he had lifted were bosom COM
panions who had arranged the little
matter between them.--LondOn Mail.

You may have well body. but you

Instead Of laying up weak and sick

out OF your mind all this rubbish about

find that none of them has Judgment

Ereedom,a True Friend.

The true friend of freedom does not
wish to be insulted by the superstition
that he believes each human individu-
nj an erring man, and that neverthe-
less the united clamor Of errlng men
has character Of divinity about 1t |;
nor does he desire to be told that the
voice Of the people, though legitimate
ly and institutionally proclaimed and
justly commanding respect and obedi-
ence. is divine on that account. He
knows that the majority may err, and
that he has the right and often the
duty to use his whole energy to con-
vince them Of their error, and law
fully to bring about different set of
lnws. The true and stanch Republican
wants liberty, but no dedication eitheE
OF himself or others.-Emerson.

Odd Numbers.

A hen Is always given an odd num-
Der Of eggs to be Matched. Why?
There is no reason at all except SUI
perstition.
Statutes from warships, forts, ETC.,
nre always given In odd numbers, yet
no valid reason can be adduced. 1t Is
n remnant of the old "odd numbers are
lucky" superstition.
Virgil records all sorts Of charms
and spells practiced round odd num-
bers-never even ones. Seven Is the
favorite biblical number, and old di.
vines taught that 1t held mystical
perfection. 1t is an odd number.
Falstaff, In the "Merry Wives" is
entrapped for the third time. He him
self said: "They say there is a dlvin<
lily In odd numbers" because Of the old
belief in odd numbers.
Physicians of other days always in
sisted that "bleedings" should be in
odd cumbersome, three, five, etc, and
never an even one.-London Mail.
