For the last year, until his recent return to this country, he was engaged in making excavations at various places on the Nile, especially at Gizzeh, in the neighborhood of the great Pyramid of Cheops. "I have discovered during the last three years," said Mr. Millard, "just where Nahid lived, where the ark was built; and that Nahid built the great Pyramid of Gizeh, known as the Pyramid of Gizeh. "Nahid was the greatest king this world has ever seen. He was the greatest of the Egyptian, Pharaohs, not excepting Rameses the Great. "Nahid was a millionaire. The Biblical account of the food gives no clew as to where he lived or where his ship carpenters were at work for George McCarren, a farmer living near this city, has just received a much prized little aluminum plate marked as follows: "Return to George McCarren, Orville, Ohio," with which an interesting story is connected. George McCarren, Sr., father of the man who received the little billet of aluminum, was an eccentric naturalist, and spent much time in the study of geology. During McCarren's youth, about twenty years ago, he says he remembers being told by his father, the elder McCarren, of a dispute the latter had had with a fellow naturalist of Akron, Ohio, as to the age to be attained by a common crow, and finally to settle the matter McCarren attached an aluminum tag to a crow feather, and bird forth with the plate securely fastened to its neck by wires. The legend on the plate requested the "It's only lately that I've had any faith in dreams," says the young wife of a middle aged newspaper man. "I used to scoff at them, but now—well, I had a warning in a dream, a genuine warning, and it did me good.

On the seat beside her was a little white poole. Down the street came two young chaps who were celebrating the day by strolling around town in the time-honored attire of ragamuffins. One was dressed to represent a fat negress, and his make-up and hair were tough enough for the jevileville stare. The other was the Happy Holligan costume that was irresistibly funny. Just as they came up to the girl in the automobile she cooled to the poole and asked: "Are you cool, sweetheart?" The sidewalk comedians stopped, smiled at the girl with the most lang- guishing air they could assume, and then bowed to her, crying: --- And we saw guaint cannon frowning in the barrakes on the shore.

It is evident that he must have been a millionaire and a man of great authority. He built the ark at his own expense. Such a boat in those times would cost half a million dollars. He must have been in a position to force vast multitudes to work for him, regardless of their interest in him or in his work, or of their own personal incinations. "Noah built the great pyramid during the earlier part of the fourth Egyptian dynasty, and not more than twelve hundred years after God had been born. He was the son of Eden.

As McCarren, Jr., remembers it, the two men made a bet as to whether the plate would be returned within twenty years. If the crow were killed or died they counted on the little billet being found and returned to the address on the plate. If this were not sufficient evidence that the bird would be still alive. McCarren bet that the plate would not be returned within that time: hence he won the bet. The crow was shot by a farmer boy named Angers in Holmes county last week, and the billet returned to the son of the better, the elder McCarren having died before he could realize the problem.

We were to start Thursday morning. Wednesday night I had my dream. I dreamed that we went to Atlantic City and that when George, came home I didn't say a word about it. It was a Sunday morning when he came home, in my dream, and I thought he went out and bought a copy of a New York paper.

Its origin is traced back to the Roman festival of Janus, after the establishment of the empire. The old Romans divided the year into ten months only. Numa Pompilius added January and February, and dedicated the former to Janus, 713 B. C. "Tis he! The two-faced Janus comes in view. Wild his helen the hisb robe adorn. And sandrops, rivals of the athen. He spurs the goale, aside. He spurs the summering year He spurs the goal aside. But he spurs the new-emerging year with pride. And now unlocks, with agate key, the ruby gates of orient day. On this day the Roman consuls, fol- lowed by the court, went to the capita- l, all gorgeously apparated, where they sacrificed two white bulls, never yoked, to Jupiter Capitolinus. The Druids observed New Year with great pump and ceremony. One fea- ture of their ceremonies was the distri- ction of the mistletoe among the people on New Year's eve. The priests went in annual procession, on the sixth day of the moon nearest the New Year, wearing white robes and bearing a golden sickle with which to detach the sacred parasite from the tree. So much did they esteem it that it was carried from the diving cak, in the forest dedicated to the gods. The apple tree mistletoe, used in England, is a different thing altogether. We all remember the mythological story of Enneac, who when descending to Avernus, was compelled to take with him a branch of this plant to Proser- The The Joyous New Year Who comes dancing over the snow, His soft little feet all bare and rosy? Open the door, though the wild winder blow, pine. Virgil compares the golden bough in these regions to this mistletoe. "An old Druidical tradition was that the maiden not kissed under the mistletoe would, go husbandless all the year." "It is under this pagan mutilation," "George William Curtis," "that the Christian youth of to-day rises the Christian maiden." streets, ask ing: "I wish A pock And a And a Ladies Sitting Play Out in The Free The Romans had two New Years, the sacred one, which was the 1st of March, and the civil one of which we have just spoken, the 1st of January. The Jews had a sacred and a civil year; the former began in March or April, the latter in September or October, and with the last period the early Greeks had no settled year; when one was finally adopted, they commenced it at the vernal equinox. The early Christians also considered the vernal equinox the proper time to commence the New Year. The Chinese and most Indian nations commence the New Year with the first new moon in March, the Persians in June and the Egyptians early in the autumn, or the first day coinciding with the rising of the Dog Star.

Among the Saxons the New Year was ushered in by friendly gifts. Later, this custom of making gifts was carried to a ruinous excess. Henry III. of England extorted costly gifts from his court. Queen Bess carried it to such in extreme, says Dr. Drake, that her posty wardrobe and jewelry was supplanted in this way. Henry VIII was receiving costly presents from his courtiers, we read that honest old Latimer handed him a Bible, with some pertinent chapters marked much to the burly king's disgust. Dr. Drake tells us that, in the sixteenth century, prince and peasant alike celebrated the New Year with regularity and parade. Much was made of the wassall bowl at this season. It was carried from door to door with loud singing and merriment. It was derived from the Saxon king's to year" an expression still in the men in pledging each other at suppers. The present loving cup takes the place of the ancient wassall bowl. In some of the country districts of England old customs are still observed. On New Year's eve, at midnight, the last of the Christmas carols is sung, outside of the house, by the young people, then there is a rush for the nearest spring, and the first one who fills his or her glass gets what they call the "cream of the well," and will be the most fortunate during the coming year. The most hours of the morning, a funeral is held, as some public houses, over "old Tom" (as the old year is called), when the boys parade the Joyous New streets, asking for presents, and singing: "I wish you a happy New Year, A pocket full of money And a great fat pig To serve you a year, Ladge gentlemen, Sitting by the fire, Pity we poorer boys Out in the mud." The French make a great deal of New Year. In 1654 Charles IX, of France decreed that in accordance with the Roman calendar, the year should begin on the first day of January. Christmas with them is a religious festival, but the New Year is a domestic festival and holiday. The day commences at an early hour, with an exchange of bonbons and visits among friends and relatives. I somewhere saw an estimate that one hundred thousand dollars was spent upon bonbons alone every New Year's in Paris. The French revolution brought New Year's day to this great prominence. With the first empire was one of the most brilliant festivals of the court, as it was also of the second em- --- New Year Take the child in and make him cozy, Take him in and hold him dear, He is the wonderful New Year. --- New Year's day was a great day in New York with the early Dutch settlers. It was ushered in by the ringing of bells and firing of guns. Washington Irving, in his humorous "Knicker erbocker's History of New York," gives a delightfully amusing account of the men among some New Yorkers. "The whole community," he tells us, "was deluged with cherry brandy, pure Holland and mulled cider; every house was a temple of the merry god, and many a provident vagabond was intoxicated out of pure economy, drinking liquor enough to serve him the remainder of the year." Irving dwells especially upon the great ball given at the Governor's old Peter Stuyvesant, New Year's night "when the men of the pious rite of kissing all the womenkind for a 'Happy New Year.'" On this day the governor also distributed fiddles to the old negroes, who fiddled all night while the young people danced. Under Peter was instituted "quilting bees," "husking bees," and other rural assemblages, where, under the inspiring influence of the fiddles, toll was enlivened by gayety and followed by a dance. The governor did not approve of the short skirts worn by the ladies and ordered a ruffle put at the bottom of them. He likewise disapproved of some of their steps in dancing, and ordered that no other step should be taken but the "shuffle and turn," and the "double trouble." The custom of New Year's calling was very prevalent in most of the large cities of the United States for a long while, and canvassing making as many as forty and fifteen that day. This custom has been generally discontinued except in Washington city. Here the president and wife, assisted by the wives of the cabinet members, hold a reception at the White House, all the morning. It is a most brilliant spectacle, as all the Diplomatic Corps and the army and navy are in full uniform. Both houses Congress also pay their re-turn to the relief of the soldiers and then the general public are admitted. Charles Lamb, one of the tenderest of English essayists, says: "Of all sounds, of all bells, the most solemn and touching is the peal which rings out the old year. They take a personal color. Not childhood alone, but the young man, till thirty, never feels practically that he is mortal." He tells us that "every man hath two birthdays, set him upon revolving the lapse of time as it affects his mortal duration; his own birthday and the birthday of the New Year." "Balling" of Young Birds Outings of Wild Animals When Battles Are Done The most remarkable existence of a human being—one whose surviving parent died at her birth, who lived 119 years, and who has just died in Sharon, Minn. How not a single descendant—is that of Mrs. Pureheart Wakeley. By her death the oldest woman of Minnesota has been removed from the scene of her remarkable life. Wakeley was 111 years of age. Despite the fact that she was married three times and became the mother of fourteen children, who all lived to the age of 20 years or more, and many of whom married and became fathers and mothers, yet all of Mrs. Wakeley's husband's relatives died before she did, and at her death she left not a relative to survive her. Three months before her birth, on July 3, 1793, her father, one of the imperial guards of the person of the Dauphin of France, was killed by the revolutionists. Her mother, who was English by birth, died in giving birth to a child, and a distant English relative named her Pureheart. Her father's name was isadore Dumourelz. At the age of 16 Pureheart Dumouriez was married to a captain in the In show talk the lion is always the king of beasts. It sounds well, and makes a fine line on the posters. But if he had to defend the championship in the ring, writes Samuel Hopkins Adams in McClure's, I think almost any of the larger bears could give him weight and beat him easily. The lion looks like a fighter; all his muscles show out good and strong, and he has a kind of swagger to his walk, while any bear is a clumsy creature, and has a rather clownish appearance. But for sheer strength I've never known the living thing that could compare, pound for pound, with Bruin in muscular power. While the circus was showing in Ohio, the trick bear broke loose. Whatever set him to it I don't know. He was more vicious. Probably he just wanted to play hockey. There was nothing to prevent him but a chain and a tolerably tore shed-wall. He broke the chain, tore down the wall, and went out to see the place. In a field across the way was a cow with her calf. The bear went over to look at them. I don't suppose he In certain districts where the soil is exactly right (or rather exactly wrong) the partridges so carefully preserved in England are likely to be attacked by a peculiar misfortune known as "balling." The word means simply that a partridge hatched out on a clay soil in wet weather may find mud adhering to its feet as it struggles along after the mother bird. This is a small beginning; but the chances are that the earth accumulates. Sometimes, indeed, the soil attached to the foot of a little partridge will increase from a mere speck to a weight of several ounces in Badminton soil, to the heaviest in Badenoch soil, to the heaviest four ounces, and the bird which carried it was only half its proper size, although the rest of the covey were full grown. The little creature could only move along in a kind of flying scramble, dragging the ball on the ground. The clay was baked as hard as a brick, so that it was no easy matter The fable of the country mouse and the town mouse has a foundation in fact, says Lions Answers. Mice occasionally migrate in large numbers when food grows scarce, and travel considerable distances to fresh houses. Farmers in a part of Perthshire had a good reason to become aware of this fact, when a couple of years ago, vast swarms of mice invaded their cornfields at harvest time. But the mouse only travels when it has to. The rat on the contrary, seems to take a year outing, in very much the same fashion as do human rats. Rats are the most migratory creatures in the world. Whole troops of rats leave the towns at the end of summer and spend a month or two in the country, apparently in order to enjoy the change of food which the country affords at that time of the year in the way of fresh fruit and grain. Before the cold weather sets in they are all back in their old quarters. "Wherefore it is said in' the book of the wars of the Love of God, that the book of Arron."—Numbers, xxii. 14.

The young widow, shortly after her bereavement, came to the United States with a party of emigrants, and four years later married a man named Edward Gray, who the American army and was the first American soldier in the attack on the City of Mexico. She then went to California with a party of gold seekers in 1850, and there, in 1860, married Oscar Wakeley, a successful miner. Two years later the Wakeley removed from California to Johnstown, Pa., where their numerous descendants lived, and where forty-three members of the family, all of them except Mrs. Wakeley and one were drowned in the flood of May, 1889. With this son Mrs. Wakeley went to Minnesota and bought a large farm near Laverne. Six years later she and her son rented the farm and moved to Galveston, Tex., where the son lost his life in the tidal wave that overwhelmed that city. Mrs. Wakeley escaped and went back to the Minnesota farm, where she resided until her death. meant any harm. But the calf got frightened, and the poor cow bravely put her head down and threatened the intruder. Beasts are just as quick as men in mresenting a threat of harm, unless fear prevents. Reearing up, the bear struck the cow a blow on the side of the head. It was what the prizering calls a halfarm jolt. Went the cow as if it hit with an ax. She might as well have been, for her head was stove in like that much cardboard. Leaving the calf to mourn over its mother, the bear set off across country. He knew he'd been up to mischief. Besides, there were a dozen of us after him by this from 'open country, we got him in a bowie ward and put a rope around, but there was any fight in him. It was rather the obstinacy of Perlins he knew that there was a sound beating awaiting him. He dug his claws into the ground and stuck. As many as could lay hold of the rope put all their endeavor upon it. No use. It was anchored. to remove it. Finally it was soaked off, and then it became apparent that the bird, without its accustomed ballast, did not know how to fly. With every effort it tumbled head over heels, and learned the natural mode only after long trying. The fate of a "balled" partridge which is not rescued by some kindly hand is a cruel one. Day by day the burden grows heavier, and the more the chick scrambles after its companions the larger its burden becomes. Finally it is no longer possible to move at all, and then the little thing can but give up and die. Naturalists say that this balling of birds is one of nature's provisions for scattering seeds. It is easy to demonize them, but the manner comes true. One experimenter scattered the earth from a three ounce ball over the top of a pan of ordinary dirt, which had been baked to destroy the seeds in it. Ten plants sprung up in due time, and developed into seven varieties.—Youth's Companion. Reindeer migrate with the same regularity as swallows. They move south when winter sets in, but as soon as ever the snow begins to melt they travel steadily north, sometimes for as much as a thousand miles. To end a holiday by deliberate suicide is so strange a phenomenon that for a long time naturalists looked upon the stories of the migration of the emmings as an improbable fiction. Yet the facts are beyond dispute. At irregular intervals these ratticle creatures start out from their homes in the fastnesses of northern Scandinavia in huge droves, numbering tens of thousands, and travel steadily southwards, eventually reaching deformed forms. Hawks and other birds of prey hover above them. Thousands are drowned in rivers. Yet the rest struggle on until they reach the sea. They do not stop. They plunge in, swim out and struggle on, until last their strength fails and they drown. Not one ever returns from this journey of death. who died That the volume might have a page?

To his three daughters an Falian who recently died left $000 a yeox each if they remained ‘single and $2,500 each a year if they married, Avlate member of the En- lish parliament left by will to his two daughters $720,000, with the provision that the money is only to be payable if they attain the age of 25 years, without marrying either a citlzen of the ‘United States or a Hebrew. -< <tiate ani Wahi, diese. Benjamin H. Ridgely, the American consul at Malaga. answering inquiries from persons 1 the United States as to the almond and raisin crops in Spain, writes to the state department as foliows: “Until after the: early Spring wind storms it was impossible to give definite information, but now that these storms are over it may be fala that the almond srop promises to be at least up t0, If not slightly above the average. But for heavy frosts during early April 1n the provinces of Malaga and Granada there would have doen an unusually large yleld. The fa- mous Jodran almonds of commerce fre grown exchisively in the provinee Of Malaga and from 125,000 to 180,000 pores is a fair average crop.’ ‘Valen- cia’ almonds are also a Malaga -pro- ‘uct, and an avergge yield would be bout 175,000 boxes, which, in addl- {lon to the Jordan almonds, would in- fleate @ total crop this year of about $00,000 boxes. Malaga raisins are fa- mous all over the World. At present The. production, which has / grown smaller some yeais ago because of the ravages of the-phylloxera, is on the in- crease. A good average crop. would mean about 1,200,000 boxes. Last year, owing to the Moods and storms, the crop was short many thousand boxes. fand in all the commercial history of Malaga there never was known such Auctuation in prices. Merchants as_a file had a bed year and lost’, large sums of money. This year there Is every promise of an abundant erop of Sie cially. with: good ruling prices" Secletys Now Game-Sberian Whilst. ‘Tne London Express says that St berian whist seems to be causing a cer- tain amount of Interest among the vo- taries of bridge, but up to now Is not ruuch understood in England, although it ig very much in yogaie at-Constantt- nople and in Russia.

TO CHRISTEN A SHIP. Three Ways the Girl's Have of Smash ing the Bottle Rear Admiral Bowles, chief constructor of the navy, who was an interested spectator at the recent launch of the armored cruiser Colorado at Philadelphia, has made some interesting comments on the general subject of the methods practiced in christening warships by breaking bottles of water to cool the water to hisexperience, there were three waves of handling the bottle on such occasions. He describes one as the baseball method, in which the bottle is held like a bat and hurled against the side swing, with energy enough for a home run or a three-bagger at least. Another method is described as the tennis blow, in which the bottle is smashed against the prow with a fullarm serve. The admiral is quoted as saying that this method was used by the sponsor of the Colorado. The third method is described as the ping-pong-style, and is done with a malush, viscous however, to offer the champagne on the hull, and sometimes on the fair operator also. It is admitted that none of these methods is perfect and that failure is possible in each, through the nervousness or excitement of the operator, who, by a bad aim, or lack of sufficient training, may fail in that way spoil the whole proceedings. A failure of that kind might be disastrous to a ship, at least from a sentimental viewpoint, and, as the sailors say, would "hoodo" that particular vessel. In one case, the sponsor delayed the blow until the descending ship got beyond her reach; and, as the sailors say, "hoodo" that by a well-defined throw managed to smash the bottle broadside on. To avoid the possibility of such accidents, Admiral Bowles suggests the use of a device attached to the ship in such a way that when the young lady releases the bottle it is bound to strike against the prow of the ship with sufficient force to release its contents and wash off the bath before it reaches its native element.—Washington Star. SHE HAD HER WAY. How Mrs. Niggard Obtained Longed-for New Carpet. "There's nothing the matter with this carpet, my dear," remarked Niggard to his wife, who was cleaning house and said she couldn't make the place look nice unless there was a new floor covering to the front room. "All it needs is a good beating," he continued. After beating a merry tattoo on the carpet with a stick out in the backyard for half an hour, Niggard, with an exultant expression on his face, called to his wife: "Come here, my dear. See," it looks just as good as a man one. "I see how you can say such a thing," replied his wife, with tears in her eyes. "It's just as faded as it ever was and you've only made more holes in it." "Do you mean to say I don't know how, to shake a carpet?" demanded Niggard, his vanity touched. "I do," returned his better half in a tone that left no doubt what the result would be. "You are going to shake that old carpet for a new one." Heaven a Home of Wealth. Yas, they's life an 'happiness aplenty in cheerful labor in the open fields, an' a mighty slim chance for the doctor. Why, they's even wealth in it if it's lived right; not riches, maybe, but wealth. Why, the way I read Scripture it seemed to me to understand heaven is a home of wealth. "Many mansions" sounds that a-way, I shore; an' golden streets shows that they don't anything be considered too good for use. An' sometimes I've thought that simple riches—like gold —was to be trod under foot. An' all the Revelational jewels, why, they seem to be swapped somewhere, not let loose in plies, to be swapped or squabbled over. No riches to possess, but these wealth to enjoy—Ruth McEnery Stuart in April Century. Eliot's Remark Resented The remark of President Elliot of Harvard, anent the entertainment of the national convention of school teachers at Boston, that the western delegates should be given a trip to the sea beach, as "a bath would do them good," has caused a good deal of comment on the pedagogues of the wild and woolly west, who think the Bostonians have as great need of lessons of cleanliness as have the people from other sections of the country. The New Cruiser Colorado. The salient interesting facts about the cruiser Colorado are: She is of the new series; will have a speed of twenty-five miles an hour, or that of the ocean liner; will have a greater number of heavy rapid-fire guns than any other vessel, and, being named after a state, the average reader will take her for a battleship, names of cities hitherto having been used for cruisers, while names of states were held sacred to battleships.

French Writer Analyzes the Differ-ences in Occupation To steal a kiss is natural; to buy a kiss is a stigma; two girls who kiss is a loss of time; not to kiss at all is written; to kiss allows us to kiss the hand or the tips of the fingers is droll; to kiss one's sister is proper; to kiss one's wife is an obligation; kissing a child is often a regret for not being permitted to kiss the mother; to kiss an ugly person is gallant; to kiss an old, bad child shows great devotionness; to kiss a young blushing widow is a charm; to kiss one's waiting maid is very dangerous; to kiss one's affanced is a premeditation and a right; an old, rich aunt, is hypocrisy; a young cook in the bloom of age is delicious, dainty; to kiss a neighbor's wife is doubtless very good, but quite wrong; kissing three girls the same day is an extravagance; a girl whose father is watching her, it may make one jump over the fence; to kiss a mother-in-law is a sacrifice; an old maid, it is politeness; finally, to kiss one's mother is the purest, the sweetest of all kisses—Le Meschace, Paris. IN WILDS OF MEXICO Cave DweXers That Are Practically Insensitive to Pain. There are very curious races of men in the more inaccessible portions of Mexico. Most of the people are cave-dwellers, but there is rarely more than one family in a cave. The curious thing about them, according to Dr. Carl Lumholtz, is that they do not have a deep desire to do it. They have a delightful habit of pulling hairs out of one another's heads, but this gives them scarcely any pain at all. They tear out the hairs exactly as we should tear them out of the tail of a horse. These inferior races feel pain to a far less extent than in the case of civilized man. Dr. Carl Lumholtz once pulled six hairs at one time from the head of a sleeping child, and then he asked for more, but without effect. At last, when twenty-three hairs were pulled its head a little and slept on. The S. M. T.'s will hold a public in stalion in the K. P. Hall, No. 222 Hennepin avenue, Monday eve, Jan 2nd, 1905.

His goods are something to be proud of, but I can’t say much for his prices. He was one of the old school—few customers and large profits. I’m sorry for anyone who hasn’t acquainted with Progress, because while Progress is a fine thing if you ride in the same seat with it, Progress is a tough proposition for the fellow it runs over. Well, that tailor shaved the price of his stock right down the core, and these fabrics that drew $30, $35 and $40 for him in Mitchell’s stock, made any way you like, suit or overcoat for $15. There were about four hundred pieces in his stock of extra good suit and overcoat materials.
