LIVED 7000 YEARS AGO.
There has been brought to tie Hall of the Dead in the British Museum the body of a
man ho lived In Egypt In tlrao Ions before the days of Menea, tho first Klny of United
Egypt. It was probably 7000 years azo that thla man roamed about, hunting- on tho shores
of the Nile with his weapons of flint. When he died his body was treated to a prepara
tion of bitumen and placed In the tomb from which the explorers took It. The tomb was
hollowed out of the sandstone on the west bank of tljo Nile, In Upper Egypt, and the body
rests la tho British Museum In a model of tho tomb. Tho mummy lay on Its left side, with
Its knees drawn up and Its hands over Its face. The grave was covered with a slab of un
worked stone, and In It. beside the body, were disposed flint knives and several vases partly
filled with the dust of funeral offerings.
The indications are that the man belonged to a llght-sklsned. falr-halred people. He was
of the race which came Into Egypt In the earliest times, when the settling of the Nile made
a land capable of cultivation. These people might be called the aboriginals of Egypt, and re
mains of their settlements are found on the west bank of the Nile.
The skull of the old man Is of the type known to scientists as dolichocephalic; that Is, it
Is long, the breadth being less than 75 per cent of its length. The early savages on the shores
of the Baltic had such skulls, but It Is thought that this Egyptian's race came originally
from Asia to the land of the Nile. Standing up, the man would be about five feet nine Inches
In height. Tho flint weapons found In his tomb show that the man lived In the early neo
llthle period of Egypt; that Is, at the time when man had Just begun to know enough to pol
ish, scratch and sharpen, his flint Implements. When this dead wanderer from the Nile was
alive the savages of Britain had hardly learned to stain their naked bodies with wood.

FACTS ABOUT COFFEE.
Xatlve of Esrypt and Once Worth 825
Per Pound la Enrope.
It Is curious to reflect that there was a
time, some three centuries ago, when the
market price of coffee In Euroue was ?2&
a pound. The plant Itself Is & native of
Egypt, and the Egyptians, we are told.
Instead of brewing a delicious decoction
from the berry, pounded It to powder,
mixed It with, grease into tho form of
paste, and so ate it!
In the 16th century, however, the citi
zens of Cairo had learned the true value
of c6ffee, and they met at cafes to drinsr
lt and enjoy a little Incidental gossip.
Twenty-five years later coffee was served
at 2000 different places In Cairo.
A great many wise people claim, says
the Philadelphia Record, and always, have
claimed, that coffee should not be In
dulged in late In the evening, because u
makes people wakeful, and there is a
legend concerning this property of the
beverage which fully bears out their opin
ion. Tho story goes that a devout Mussul
man once uoon a time was rendered very
anxious on the subject of his spiritual
welfare by the fact that, an unhallowed
drowsiness Invariably overcame him dur
ing prayers. Imploring Mahomet to res
cue him from this backsliding, he was
inferred by the wise prophet to a goat
herd near by, and thither betook hlmselt
In haste.
' Made Goats Frisky.
The goatherd had noticed that when his
goats chewed coffee berries, they seemed
to become frisky and alert. By his ad
vice the Mussulman partook of some, and
he found their stimulating effect to be
such that ever after his prayers "were of
fered with uncommon fervor.
The first cup of coffee made In France
that is, officially made was offered to
Louis XTV., who was graciously pleased
to express his approval of It. Sollman
Aga, Turkish Ambassador to France, pop
ularized himself not a llttlo a few years
later by giving afternoon receptions, at
which ho surrounded his guests with Ori
ental splendors and had coffee served to
them, the new drink about which every
cno was talking.
Seventeen young coffee plants were
brought to Amsterdam from the East In
the year 1740, and were transferred short
ly after to the care of the Parisian botan
ist, Jusslen. Fourteen plants died; tne
remaining three were sent to Martinique,
only one reaching there In healthy con
dition. From that one sprang the coltee
plantations of Martinique, the West In
dies and those on the -coast of Guana.
Indian 7fectar.
Centuries ago the Inhabitants of Mexico
partook of a muddy and uninviting bev
erage, which they greatly enjoyed. Spam
possessed herself of that region, and the
Spaniards noticed the pleasant aroma ot
the beverage. He must have been a hero
who first tasted it, but some one did.
Taken to Spain, it became much liked.
It was christened "Indian nectar," and,
traveling to England, a learned gentleman
wrote a treatise upon It, In. which the
ascribed to It "secret virtues" of a won
derful kind. This manuscript is still ex
istence in the British Museum.
APPETITE THAT FAILED.
One Experience In a "Quick Lunch"
Resort All He Wanted.
"No," said tho pale young man with
the corrugated forehead, listlessly declin

one 'of those "quick lunch" resorts near
Broadway. "Somehow I have lost the
eager desire to mingle with the madding
crowd and enjoy its ignoble strife since
an experience I had recently.
"I was In a hurry to catch a train, and
felt loath to undertake the Journey with

and was borne Into the realms of coffee
and sinkers. X Inserted myself Into a
family of nine other unfortunates at a
table and waited. And, by the way, the
word waitress is a misnomer. The cus
tomers do all the waiting necessary for
any well-conducted establishment.

"I had forgotten that I ever was hungry

PASSING OF THE BELL.
It Is Xo Longer Used to Record the
Joys and Sorrows of Humanity.
Atlantic Monthly.
The solemn and impressive custom of
announcing death by the tolling ot tho
church bell will soon be but a vague and
distant memory. "The passing bell" haa
Itself passed away, and Its slow, meas
ured accents no longer tell the story of the
departure of one more sonL . . . The
brief notice In the dally paper, while It
conveys explicit Information, falls to give
something that the bell's tollng. carried
with it. The solemn mythmlc tones
awakened a momentary vibration. In the
breast of every listener, and bade each
pause for sympathy and meditation. The
bell admonished the sinner to repent, and
warned the thoughtless to take heed and
mend his ways. It spoke clearly and
comprehensively, and bade all scattered
and preoccupied Inhabitants attend Its
story.
The bell's voice Is Identified with all the
deepest and most sacred human emotions.
It has bespoken the Joys and sorrows
of all mankind for centuries, is Its voice
to die away, and have no part in the life
of the future? The wedding bells ring
out no more eave in some song or story.
The Christmas chimes are seldom wafted
to our ears. The church bells ring but
faintly now, and under constant protest.
"The curfew tolls the knell of parting
day" only In verse; a sunset gun today
gives greater satisfaction. The Angelus
sounds merely in pictorial form; the fire
bells give place to still alarms; the din
ner bell Is silenced In polite eocletjv and
sleigh bells are discarded.
What Is the future of the bell? That
happy sliver tongue that has sung out
the Joys of all the word; that solemn
tone, that has mourned for the Nation's
dead, and voiced the Nation's woes, and
summoned to their knees the Nation's
worshipers!
Sunday as a Day of Ill-Iinclc.
Sunday rapidly is takng the place In
popular superstition of Friday as an -unlucky
day. It -used to be that all hang
ings took place on a Friday; no sailor
would put to sea on Friday, and It was
considered a bad day in which to beg,
buy, borrow or sell. Now, however, wo
are told that Sunday is becoming the day
of bad luck, and certain tragedies of the
first class which have occurred of late on
Sunday have helped along tho super
stition. The late Czar of Russia was assassinat
ed on Sunday, and so were President Car
not and King Umberto. It was on Sun
day also that the Tay Bridge was blown
down. In the north of England It la
considered most sure to bring calamity
to cut the hair or nails on Sunday. Tho
old distich says:
Better thou hadst ne'er been born
Than to be on Sabbath morning shorn.
In this may be found an argument foe
closing the barber shops on Sunday.
