ORAIBI MARRIGE CUSTOM
PROTRACTED CEREMONIES BEFORE THE HOPPTING OF TWO HOPPTS
Bible Grinda Corn for Three Days,
Whilst the Young Men Goes
Out to Play
According to H. R. Voth, the marriage ceremony of the Hopi Indians of Arizona is a unique and most primitive, and those customs observed at Orabi, the largest and most primitive of the villages of Tusayan, are especially among the Hopi marriage by purchase does not exist. The choice of a life companion is left almost entirely to the young, and the marriage is on the part of the parents or guardians being exercised only in rare instances. The love affair of a young couple often takes place as far as any public declaration of their relations is concerned. The love affair is ordered by the young people that they are ready to be married the parents or their representatives are informed. This "being ready" is deter, mined to some extent by the pecuniary affairs of the husband, the young person, that they are ready to be necessary belongings of a horse or burrow and a little money, perhaps also a few donations. To some extent the time for the wedding is determined by the custom that marriage rarely takes place during the winter, and soldiered when the Hopi are busy in the winter, in autumn or winter, which is their time to nurture and frolic, of ceremonies and kites.
As soon as the bride-elect has told her mother, or, in event of the death of her mother, she marries the mother takes down the girl's hair, which has hitherto been worn in two colls, and ties a knot in the loosened hair of the latter. She marries a tray of meal made from white corn, the mother accompanies her daughter to house of the latter's future husband. This is at once a marriage ing or very early in the morning. Arriving at the door the mother calls, says she is at once opened by the future mother-in-law or her substitute, who, of course takes along with the situation. The latter takes them and inviting them in to sit down. The girl enters, but the mother usually prepares them and inviting them in to sit down. The girl is now called mourn (bride). If she has come in the morning she is at once assigned a place at the meal-grind-ing table and begins to them all day; if late in the evening, she remains over night, sleeping with the grinder, the next morning, and man goes about his business as usual—gathering wood in the hills, performing wood in the lakes to which he belongs.
Late in the afternoon the movi stones grinding corn and sits during the entire day, folded skins in blankets, generally wears a usual clothing, but sometimes wears her usual clothing, but sometimes we wear a blush black ceremonial blanket with a blue and red border. Little conversation is held with the mother and the following days of the bethothal: "The next morning the white corn is used, and the next morning the blush black corn is used. On the evening of this day the various girl friends gather around the house where the latter stays. On the fourth morning these trays are filled with corn and the mother-in-law by the mother-in-law of the bride. This day may be called the wedding day.
Long before dawn the bride and her father then come to the bride arrives about the same time. The brideroom and the remainder of his furnish the room and the relative couples of both families, especially the aunts, begin to appear, each of whom is in a vessel. At the fireplace in the corner water is being boiled in a large pot. The water is being poured into a foaming sauce of the pounded roots of the water, which is then some warm water is added. When this is ready, the mothers kneel on the floor and then kneel on them. The young man then kneels before the bowl prepared by his future wife, then kneels before the bowl by the young man's mother; their heads are then thoroughly washed with water, and then they assist in pouring a handful of suits head of each to aid in the washing.
A few days later a crier announces to the man a day in the day the cotton for the movie's browniest costume will be spun in the kivu matriarchate in the spinning. On the appointed day the men are soon at work, an act of busting of the primitive spindles are an laughter to the singing of taking an house where the marriage has taken place, a dinner for the cotton spinners. The cotton that has been spun is taken to manufacture of the bridal costume it soon begun. The costume consists of a woven skirt with knotted fringes at each end, with knotted fringes at each end, the costume is after ward kept, and the costume is after casms, to each leg of which is attachable. This costume is usually made the bridegroom and his male relative quares several weeks to complete it. The entire costume is now given to the bridegroom, and the actual act in the marriage drastis, the bridegoes home to take place. The robes and puts on her moanings. The
often have two new wives but are wrapped up and before surprise the bride leaves the house of her husband's parents, where she has a new baby. The bride holds the bundle with the robe and is slowly and alone through the streets home of her mother. Here she is met by a man who thanks that you have come. The man asks for moccasins and the protracted marriage comes over. During the day the young husband is in law, where the couple live until a certain marriage costume is rolled in the mat receptacle, which is usually sundried. The moccasins are soon put to ordinary use, and the ceremonial occasions.

"How much?" asked Arthur P. Raglan, of Leeds, England, offering to pay his $19,000, answered Clerk Howard J. Dalley, of the St. James hotel, England. The eyes of Mr. Raglan, which had shone pleasantly, now glared and his eyes were astonished contracted his upper lip. Why, it was only last night—he proudly over his desk at Mr. Raglan, yesterday morning at 1 o'clock. He sat at supper time, persisted the Briton, his voice rising into a roar. The retired Mr. Dalley indigently, to know, retreated. Mr. Dalley indigently, think I ought to kaway something abaout it? You. Why, what the devil have you done?

VERSATILE CLERGYMAN.

About the time ago the Rev. John Gilbert Sarmran, the pastor of the heavily fined by the consistory court a code for having absented himself from school, posted a statement in the instructor of a volunteer corps. Two months back a statement was published in the ecclesiastical and military duties, of Sarmran had set up his business as a sort of a service unit of an accommodation house, and use of an accommodation house.
In his reply to this statement he per-

Nor, if it comes to finding high appointees for Edward VII, neglect to notice t.t. his own prime minister calmly filled important offices with his son, his son-in-law and two of his pupils, to pursue royalty and discipline being shaken much.
In the matter of the church King Edward VII's well known attitude is a severe one. The senator exceeds 20 minutes. Expecting that all sorts of precedents have zone by the board on the occasion of this present demise of the crown, one might expect the senator to be the oath administered at the last coronation service. It is fully a year vet before the ceremony will be gone through again, but already the recognized organ Proteus has been the community, the Tablet, protects emphatically against the oath.
King Edward is probably better liked personally in France than any other European sovereign. Certainly he has shown more sympathy with the French temperament than ever, even with his analyses to which he is now subjected by even friendly writers in Paris is at least as cynical as it is appreciative. One of them, writing of him as the king of France, wrote: "He is made up of antithesis and contradictions. Physically, you know him; a body which ought to have the strength of a giant and which has not lost the strength of a child; it seems ready to crush, and yet has not always the force to squeeze; a step that is sonorous, and yet certainly does not shake the earth; a small ear, but one with a large nose; from the four corners of the globe, a blue eye, a gentle and smiling which

bend watchful, brows, seems always searching in the distance beyond the visible horizon, but stopps always on the nearest objects, a good indulgent smile on their faces. "Morally it is as physically, this improvident man is the most orderly in the United Kingdom. Were he not born to the throne he would have made an incomparable business man. His punctuality never arrived throughout England; he never arrives at work in a social engagement. The smallest details of ceremony interest him. He never leaves a letter forty-eight hours without a reply or twenty-four hours without accommodation addressed to him. All correspondence addressed to him his eyes and all sent in his name comes through his hands. The letters he writes and the letters he dictates are *nuisably* by their clearness, their sobriety and that absolute absence of affection.
"He views his own weakness with indulgence, but he is not severe those of others. His hand is open for his own caprices, but never closed once, if I should mind it. 'I believe,' he said more of foolish things, I would do more foolish things, I would do more. That I would do more good. He is so confident to the point of being naif; having made many friends with many smiles he believes that each man who smiles on him is a friend. "At the funeral of Alexander III, he came back alone in a special train with the young emperor on whose fruit shoulders the destinies of the greatest of empires were to rest. Their conversation ended in affectionate. The uncle returned to Loomis and had a brother in his nephew and imagining gigantic projects of joint accord.
Some months later events came with a rush in the extreme East; a triple alliance was concluded between France, Germany and Russia; the treaty of Shimkas and Russia; the treaty of the yellow man was harpened by fishermen not one of whom wore a British uniform. Edward VII. fell a child's vexation over this, not at the stake lose, because he believed he assured a union. "France," he said once, "is the country where I would like best and least to live. The ease of getting liked is only equalled by the ease of getting jeered at." in the popularity, sympathy, confidence of loves the sun, flowers and a blue sky. He has an unspeakable horror of attack, of violence, of insults, as one shuns all evil things. He is not of those who feel under foot, and who feel their stature increase with every attack launched on them. If there is one thing he hates it is hatred. It is more odious for him to think that he has one enemy than to recall that he has a dozen friends.
"During his half century in the most ardous role of heir to the throne he has not let slip a word that could make him an adversary. He has even abstained from showing his prejudices of injustice and hatred, and even this hour, those who knew him beat cannot say whether his tendencies are liberal or his tastes conservative, whether he is a Wil or a Tory. It is clear that he is a Wil, and that self-control; it is the instinctive desire to seek everything that binds together, so as to suffer nothing that brings division and discord."

DWARD VII. knows London; well; few men understand its resources and opportunities better. Here, more than anywhere, die in his dominions, his personal popularity is unbound. The cheerful temper, the easy determination to get the most out of all his possessions, the sense of arrogance, which were the most obvious characteristics of the Prince of Wales, are the qualities most appreciated by Londoners. In his public appearances as ruling sovereign there have been no less than 100 of his men of slayy and a man of the world.
of the party in power for the time now.
He read it with ease and assurance, in the rather noticeably guttural accents of his speech, notwithstanding years of speech-making at loyal social gatherings of Englishmen. If he had a share in choosing the subject matter he may depend upon it he would have followed the line of least resistance and have got the duke of Devonshire to set down something safe and statemanlike, whom all Englishmen take their hats off now, started his reign with an international commission on labor and was humored by other powers, which sent learned men to Berlin. It is understood that the most important outcome of this gathering is that William himself conceived now that the millennium can commence into his immediate imperial presence. King Edward is of neither the age nor the temperament to take time by the forelock, but neither of the events anywhere.
It is tolerably certain that events will not deal hardly with his person or his office in the next few years, whichever may befall him. The British letter to the New York Sun, when a prolonged ordeal of reverses, expenditures and disappointment would have provoked popular rebellion, has been the subject of vening wrath on the nearest conspicuous object that served no apparent use. But the British democracy has outgrown that stage. More iconoclasm is a popular habit with demagogues. The stump oxen who not many years ago rolled off their objections against all things that are to herds of enthulness, and who have been from lack of approving hearers. In Hyde
Park, where once the police and the crowds used to come to blows over the right of free speech on Sundays, the police have been forced to and know the police only demand their protection against occasional cloaks of dirt, the tributes of unconvinced waywardness, and the thinking sections of society. The bitterly hostile theories and principles of government overthrew thrones a century ago have no part in the present day.

tarded as the lessons are learned from the rest of the world, but it is not in the present visible perspective that King Edward VII's head need sleep uneasily from wearing a crown. All his courtiers and the principle of monarchy have now more generally popular than in his kingdom to-day.
The personal authority in constitutional government has no place whatever in party legislation. That is an absolute, unfoldable caption. But there are still spheres in which the sovereign if exercised, is a very important factor in the life of the country. They are the civil list, the army and the church.
The personal expenditure of the occupant of the throne, the members of the royal family and the officers and ladies of the royal household is secured by parliament voting what is called the civil list, the national military purposes or any of the functions of government. Formerly the crown was a large owner of private landed property, chiefly through the forfeiture of estates of rebellious subjects or church lands during the religious strife of the Tudors and Stuarts.
There is a saying drawn from the great times of Elizabeth, Anne and Victoria, that "When women reign, men rule; when men reign, women rule." It is some indemnement of this that during the reign of the Georges the personal possessions of the crown hardly prospered better than the reckless days of Charles II. and James II. It contains a question of commuting this property, which threatens to be dissipated entirely, into a fixed income of money, the landed property concerned being administered by a government department.

"At the commencement of the queen's reign, that is, for the year 1888-50, the surplus revenue paid into the exchequer and judicious management this surplus has steadily increased. For 1823-53 it was 422,000; for 1826-43, 600,000; for 1872-75, 475,000. In 1882-83 it was 480,000, and during the next decade it passed to 500,000, amounted to 430,000 in 1862-53, while for the year ending March 31, 1900, the surplus paid to the exchequer was 450,000. It should also be borne in mind that during the last twenty years the crown, like an ancient great depreciation in rents from agricultural lands. "The expression ' crown lands' covers an infinite variety of property. It comprises most of the great fishing in Scotland nearly 70,000 acres of agricultural land in England, the new forest, Dean Forest and Windsor great park. Minerals of many kinds help to swell the revenue: coal in Dean Forest and in inundera mines, gold in Wales, silver in Scotland, and timber. Tees are a few instances. No landlord in the kingdom has such a diversified property or so many local laws and customs to deal with as his majesty's lands of woods, forests and land revenues have.
In Scotland there are feudal dues and rents whose very names would be foreign to an Englishman. From Alderey come dues probably more ancient than the manorial courts of the Isle of Man have traces of a Scandinavian origin."
At the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign an act was passed by parliament "for the support of her majesty's household and of the honor of dignity of the crown of Great Britain and Ireland." By this act the queen surrendered to the public for her life and six month thereafter the land revenues of the crown, receiving in return an annual civil list allowance of £100,000:
Her majesty's private purse: 400,000
Salaries of household: 131,200

Not only do they lynch Afro-Americans for alleged crimes, of which, many times, the victims of their prejudice are innocent, but they do not allow an Afro-American to express his views on their actions—if they are in opposition. Ralph Brown, of Brazil, Ind., last week took occasion to denounce the lynchers of Ward at Terre Haute in severe language. A number of his white fellow workmen procured a rope and threatened to lynch him and he actually had to flee for his life and seek protection at the police station. We supposed a man had the right of free speech guaranteed to him in this country, but it seems this is not the case if his skin is black. Verily the lot of the black man is a hard one in this country, which in its bill of rights declares all men are born equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. This is a great country.

"I never have trouble tellin' whether I'm drunk or sober. Now. If I'm fool ish 'nough to go home and let me' wife see in this condition, I mus' be pretfull. If I go to a hotel I mus' be perfectly sober or else I wouldn't know that I'm ver' drunk."
KING EDWARD, ACCOMPANIED BY THE QUEEN, OPENING PARLIA-MENT THURS DAY, FEB. 14.
Lynchings still continue with the victims Afro-Americans and the lynchers whites. When will such things cease? We do not object to any man, who commits a crime, being punished, but we want all persons accused of crime tried in a legal manner, and, if found guilty after a proper hearing, punished according to law. Suppose Doc Reed, who was in jail in Indianapolis, for an alleged assault, had been gotten hold of by the mob. He would now be dead, but thanks to the good jail and the lapse of time, he had an opportunity to prove an alibi and his life was saved. Many a poor innocent black man has been murdered by mobs that did not care whether their victims were innocent or guilty so long as they were black. As we have always contended we still reiterate, the criminal is worse than the crime if black, in the eyes of the mob. Lynching must be stopped.
Talk about the mating of May and December, how was that marriage in Birmingham, N. Y., this week of an eighteen-year-old girl to a man who was 100 years old January 4. The groom was a millionaire bachelor who loved his present wife's great grandmother, but a misunderstanding prevented the wedding. Recently he saw the great-granddaughter of his former fiance, whom she resembled so much that he fell in love with her for her ancestor's sake. He says she is his old love come back to cheer him in his old age. His wife says his wealth was not a consideration in her mind, a statement which we must take cum gran salis.
The second inauguration of President William McKinley pased off with much eclat last Monday. The president says the indorsement he received at the hands of his constituents at the polls was also an indorsement of the men whom he appointed to office, so he will make few removals except for cause. He will, therefore, not be very likely to remove any of the Afro-Americans who are now in office, and has already added to his appointments and will do more along that line when opportunities along that line present themselves.

The rules which govern them are strict, and the enlisted man guilty of an infraction of discipline is dealt with severely. There has been comparatively little infraction of discipline, the formation of the battalion two years ago, however, and the success of enlisting natives has been shown by the fact that congress has approved the orders are given in English, but instructions are given in Spanish, which is spoken fluently by the officers. First sergeants of all the companies are enlisted man who have been sent to the battalion which have seen service in Porto Rico, and they get along very well with the natives. Most of the latter are full-blooded Caucasians, while others show the tinge of Negro blood, very much of the latter. There are two battalions of these troops, which have been fully organized.
As a token of appreciation of his services to the race, Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, was Saturday presided over by representatives of leading federal newspaper of the country. The presentation took place in the room of the senate committee on privileges, elections, and in addition to Senator Chandler, the senate friends of their own race, Senators McComas and Pritchard were present. The speech of presentation was made on behalf of the senator, S. Smith, a member of the Washington bar. He said the New Hampshire senator had freely given his services to the race past forty years, and he predicted that its retirement would be only temporary.
Mr. Chandler was visibly affected when he rose to reply. He said he had been a friend of the Afro-American community easy for him to do so, because it was natural. He discussed the lynching problem at some length and said he regretted to see the lynching of Afro-American men in Northern states, and that it is not confined to lynching for offenses against women. He advised the Afro-American people to organize a committee to investigate and make public the facts of the lynching to their attention, believing that the publication of an authentic record would do much to cause a cessation of the practice. He believed that in time the Afro-American community would growth of genuine Christianity would relieve the race from this unjust infliction. He also advised the Afro-American to stand out in a peaceful manner for their rights under the law, and that themselves to be disfragrant without continued protest. The right of the Afro-American to vote should be as sacred to him as his life. The senators sentiments were loudly applauded.
Senators McComas and Pritchard were among others who spoke. Mr. McComas said that Senator Chandler is the best friend of the Afro-American under the roof of the capitol. Mr. Magnus L. Robinson was chair-

Mrs. Jennie Mckelcor, colored, aged sixteen years, is attending night school to Omaha, her purpose being to learn it. "I want to go to heaven when I die," she says, "and if I'm going to do that I've got to read the Bible. But I never learned to read when I was little, so I've got to learn it now. All I'm going to school for is to learn to read the Bible. That's all I want to know." True of Mrs. Linnie Mckelcor, sixyears old, and of Benjamin Jones, fifty-years old. All are members of the colored colony down on the river bottom, of the Cass school. They began three weeks ago and thus far have learned the alphabet and to read words of two and three letters. They do not learn to read the Latin, not in the riculum, and they consented to learn spelling only when told that they could not well read without it. As text books they use Bibles, of which each has a chapter, and in either, with index and marginal notations.
" ignorance is the curse of God, knowledge the wing where we fly to heaven," is a favorite quotation of Mrs. McCorkel, and through it, that this from Shakespeape and not from the Bible, her answer invariably is, "Well, if it ain't in the Bible it ought to be there."

and Copeland take in washing, while most of the younger ones are employed as cash girls, newaboys or messenger boys. One of the little girls, who lives just outside the school, is "Aunty" McCorkel as her special porter, and when the latter gets sleepy, as she often does about sleep time, "Aunty" rocks her to sleep. singing to her one of the quant plantation chants learned many years ago, when school is dismissed, she carries the child across the street to her home and puts her to bed. A most kindly spirit of friendship exists between the young and old pupils of the school. They mingle with the other students, the games of childhood they play appear to be enjoyed equally by both. The younger members do not taunt the older ones with either their years or their color, and, on the other hand, the aged pupil is "adored" by the younger ones in their studies.
Just at present Mrs. McCorkey is studying from Psalms, large portions of which she can repeat from memory.
"O clap your hands, all ye people, shut your mouth with the cleavest jumph" is one of her favorite passages.
"She is able to read it when she sees it in print," says the teacher. "But when I transpose the words she gets confused. Silent letters are also a great burpurea look with that weave deceptive stand why psalm' should be spelled with a p, as I dare sly, few others can. But she is getting along nicely, and for all I can see she is bright child of six or seven years. She is certainly the most devout old soul I ever saw. The Bible is her law for every act of her life."
Probably if her hired girl the average woman wouldn't be as mortified as she would be if he drank tea out of his saucer when they had company to supper.

Place at the residence of the bride's

Anthony avenue, last Tuesday evening,
and was the most pleasant social tune-
tion of the week. Rev. D. W. Carter,
of Pilgrim Baptist chureh, performed
the ceremony. Mrs, R. C. ‘Minor sang
‘a solo and played the wedding march
as the bridal party entered the par-
lor. ‘The home was filled with friends
of the contracting couple. The bride
wore brown silk trimmed beautifully
with white, Refreshments were serv-
ed in the dining room. Mrs. D. E.
Beasley poured coffee and Mrs. C. E.
James served the cream. The table
Was beautifully decorated with roses.
‘The bride was the recipient of a large

Minstreisy as it is to-day is probably
best illustrated by that illustrious and
prolific producer, Wm. H. West, who
for many years has been looked. upon
as the greatest exponent of all-that is
big, new and novel in the minstéel
world. His fertile brain has eoneel¥-
ed probably more great acts than any
other minstrel performer. This is all
the more remarkable in field that is
somewhat Ilmited in Its possibilities.
‘To constantly supply the demand for
original acts, ideas. and new features is
a task not enviable, yet who can say
that a West minstrel performance has
‘ever heen devold of novelty. All. the
Diggest and most expensive acts,
original and ginger comedians, the
greatest and highest salaried singers
can surely be found under the West
banner.
Mr. West has organized this season
what is claimed to be the best minstrel
show it has ever been his proud dis-
tinction to be connected with.
It includes forty or more leading
artists and several features in an olio
of superior merit, any one of which
would be sufficiently: strong to be the
“whole show” with some other organi-
zations. ‘The vocal corps, like all the
previous West performances, includes
the greatest singers known to the min-
strel stage, while the roster of come-
dians simply defies comparison, in
fact the comedy features with the show
this season are very strongly brought
to the front in a program of mirth,
music and melody. “The street parade
also differs from all previous attempts
in this line and is this season quite
spectacular in its efferts.
‘Mr. West and his Big Minstrel Jubi-
Jee will be seen at the Grand the com-
ing week, commencing Sunday night at
8:15.

REPUBLICAN CITY TICKET
MAYOR ELBRIDGE HANECY
TREASURER AOLPHGARTZ
CLEKER FHOS O'SHAUGNESSY
ATTORNEY OSPAR MEBEL
The Republican city convention last Saturday, after a protracted struggle, nominated the Hon. Elbridge Haney for mayor of Chicago. This manifestation in Judge Haney came to him wholly unsolicited. He did not desire the nomination, but since it was the wish of his party that he should be its standard bearer, he has accepted the honor and enters the contest earnestly and hopefully. The Republican party is specially fortunate to have the judge, its nominee. His ability is unquestionable in the acter, both as a citizen and an official, is beyond reproach and his views on local questions are in hearty accord with the great majority of the citizens of Chicago.
The pledges made by the convention in its 'platform will be faithfully carried out by Judge Haney when elected. Chicago will be reclaimed from thuggery, maladministration, vice and crime and will be deprived of the protection which has brought disgrace and infamy upon our great city. The ordinances of the city will be fairly and honestly enforced by deriving any citizen of his rights and demanding traction question, involving a renewal of the street railway franchises, will be settled on a basis fair and just to Chicago and satisfactory to the corporations. The civil service law will be conscientiously and legally carried out. The Appeal is fully satisfied that Judge Haney can be depended upon to carry out these and many other recessional essential and necessary to Chicago's continued growth and prosperity, and being so convinced will unhesitatingly give its support and best efforts towards the election of Judge Haney and the entire Republican city ticket.
The Appeal notes with pride and satisfaction the nomination of Attorney B. F. Mosely for supervisor by the town of Lake Republican convention. This is the first time in the history of Chicago that an Afro-American has been accorded such an honor in this section of the city. Mr. Mosely, besides being a lawyer of ability and leadership, has been the best campers in Illinois. Success to Mosely and the Republican ticket.
The South Town Republican convention assembled at Arlington hall last Monday at 8 o'clock a. m. and adjourned until next Monday, 8 o'clock p. m. It is highly probable that Collector Fuller will not be renominated on account of he and Judge Haney coming from the same ward. Mr. Fuller's retirement is generally regretted by the Republicans of the South Town.
Judge Haneey and the entire Republican party of Chicago promise a vigorous, earnest and continuous fight against the cohorts of Democracy and crime. It is to be hoped that all friends of decency and good government may be lined up at all times on the right side.
A PRINCESS SOLD
A Mummified Daughter of Rameses II.
Auctioned Off.
Unlike good wine, princesses of ancient Egyptian lineage do not appear to increase in value with time; at least, that was the experience of one of the daughters of Rameses II, when she was offered at auction by Mr. J. C. Stevens at his well-known rooms King street, Covent Garden. Perhaps this was because she was unable to put the dots to the i's and the crosses to the t's of the auctioneer's eulogy of her various interesting points, a circumstance not to be wondered at, considering she has been dead and murmified since, circa, 1333 B. C. But in spite of her antiquity, the eager crowd of bargain hunters at Mr. Stevens' wonderful sale probably knew more about her, in some respects, than she had ever known herself; for the X-rays of modern science had been brought to bear upon her cerements, with the result that photographs of the body beneath had been obtained showing the position of the bones. In spite, however, of this, there seemed to be no particular demand for her remains, and if her spook happened to be pervading the fragrant neighborhood of Covent Garden at the time it must have had its feelings hurt at seeing the "lot" for ten gunneas. Rameses II, is reputed to have had a good many children, but that would scarcely account for the fact that a daughter of him, who stole men's hearts nearly thirty-three centuries ago, should have fetched only ten gunneas. And she was remarkably well preserved, too, and inclosed in a neat casket—London News.
A shepherd once, to prove the quickness of his dog, which was lying before the fire in the house where we were talking, said to me in the middle of a sentence concerning something else, "I'm thinking, sir, the cow is in the potatoes." Though he purposefully laid no stress on these words, and said them in a quiet, unconcerned tone of voice, the dog, who appeared to be asleep, immediately jumped up, and, leaping through the open window, scrambled up to the turf roof of the house, from which he could see the potato field. He then, not seeing the cow there, ran and looked into the barn where she was, and, finding that all was right, came back to the house. After a short time the shepherd said the same words again, and the dog repeated his lookout; but on the false alarm being a third time given the dog got up, and, wagging his tail, looked his master in the face with so comical an expression of interrogation that he could not help laughing aloud at him, on which, with a slight growl, he laid himself down in his warm corner with an offended air, as if determined not to be made a fool of again.—Exchange.
