A moneyed man, who was looking at the process of laying an artificial stone pavement in front of one of his many properties, startled the friends who were standing about him by remarking, "I believe that the Egyptian pyramids were, built in just that way." Pressed for an explanation, he said that while he had never been in Egypt he had read the works of all Egyptologists, including Bragscb. and Piazza Smyth, and had never found in any of them a theory which would satisfactorily account for the manner in which the pyramids were constructed. "Now," he said, "you must remember that the pyramids are built of stone whieh bears no resemblance to anything found within 500 miles of their location. It is incredible that the Egyptians of four or five thousand years ago should have possessed the mechanical ingenuity to move these enormous blocks of stone from the granite quarries of Abyssinia or Syria to the pyramids. Is it not much more natural to suppose that the ancient Egyptians possessed the secret of mak ing artificial stone, and that the pyra mids were constructed by layer upon layer of Nile river mud, hardened by just such processes as we employ to make artificial stone? "It is a much more plausible explana tion of their construction than the la borious and unintelligent suppositions that the stones were carried across the desert to form the foundation and base ot the pyramids. I firmly believe that the Egyptians of the ante-Christian era understood the manufacture of artificial atone, and that they built the pyramids oat of it." Philadelphia Press. Xka Winnipeg Wolves. In the winter of 1890 deer were unusu ally scarce in the forests east of Lake Winnipeg. A wet, cold summer had de stroyed an uncommonly large proportion of fawns. Consequently, wolves were without their accustomed food supply. Their distress made them forget their fear of human beings. One morning In January news reached Winnipeg City that a band numbering 100 wolves had slain many Indian hunt-' an along the east shore. This turned out to be true. Several of the men were caught on foot. One climbed a tree and shot twenty wolves'. Another clubbed a dozen to death before they pulled him down. One hunter mounted a platform erected on poles for the purpose of keeping skins above the reach of wild beasts and ver min. He had hardly begun firing when the wolves pressed and leaped about the posts insuch numbers that they threw down the platform and tore the man to The same band had visited other camps. How many Indians in all were devomred could not be exactly ascer tained, as more than one hunting party was said to have been completely wiped oat. Youth's Companion. Wfay Girls Are Tall. Why are there so many tall girls now adays, and why is the tendency of the new feneration toward unusual height and gracious slimness? Women are tall and becoming tall simply because it is the fashion, and that statement never needs aor Is capable of any explanation. Awhile ago it was the fashion to be petite and . arch; it is now the fashion to be tall and gracious, and nothing more can be said about it. . Of course the reader, who is usually inclined to find the facetious side of any grave topic, has already thought of the application of the self denying hymn, that man wants little here below, and wants that little long; but this may be only a passing sigh of the period. Charles Dudley Warner in Harper's Weekly. Oh, These Honest Little Fellows. Sddle was very fond of raspberry jam. One evening when the parson dropped Into tea mamma opened her last jar, with emphatic instructions to Eddie not to ask for some more jam after getting bis share. His papa, not knowing the circumstances, offered, to replenish his dish, when Eddie mortified his mother by saying, "Mamma said I musn't ask Jar any more, 'cause that is all there is." A St Louis physician recalls the case Of a young man who had been dumb for five years, but who, while out hunting one day, began, in the excitement of the chase, to yell at the top of his lungs. Afterward he was able to speak with perfect articulation. When Julius Csasar fell, as he was landing on the African coast, he is re ported to have said, to banish the fears of his soldiers, who accepted the occur rence as one of ill omen, "Land of Africa, I take possession of thee!" That compositor was something of a humorist in his way who set up the title of 'Maurice Thompson's pretty syl van poem, "Pan in the Orchard," as "Pain in the Orchard;" but the associa tion' of ideas was serious. The ancient Greeks and Romans had their beds supported on frames, but not flat like ours. ' The Egyptians had a couch of a peculiar shape, more like an old : fashioned easy chair, with . hollow back and scat. - " A farmer in Jefferson county, Wis., dislodged a huge rock at the bottom of bis well, when it sank out of sight, re- veaiing a subterranean lake, i TJ. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889. ?owdkr HOW. AN AUNT WAS FOUND. A Lost Child Whose Knowledge of Botany Came Into Good Play. Colonel W. D. Moore tells a story which would, could it be given in print as Mr. Moore tells it, produce a great effect. Ex-Sheriff Cluley was accosted a day or two since at the corner of Sixth street and Liberty avenue by a little tot, a girl, too young to talk plainly, who pulled at his coat and asked "Do 'oo know Aunt Tatie?' Somewhat surprised, Mr. Cluley re plied that he could , not say unless he knew "Aunt Tatie's" last name. The child opined that the wanted party didn't have any last name; she was "diet Aunt Tatie.'" The little one then ex plained that she was lost, and she was in great distress, her lips quivering so that at times she could scarcely speak. Mr. Cluley thought with all his might for a few moments, when an idea struck him and he asked the child for a descrip tion of his aunt. The little maiden re plied that "Aunt Tatie" was rather tall and wore nasturtium flowers in her bon net. Now, Mr. Cluley would hardly stand a creditable examination in botany. He knows cabbages from potato vines, and knows the nasturtium when he sees it on the table in the shape of a pickle, but to save his soul he could not tell what its flower was like. Again he rubbed bis dome of thought until he rubbed into it a fresh suggestion and acted upon it at once. Accosting a lady who was passing, he asked her if she knew a nas turtium flower when she saw it. She was at first disposed to resent the ques tion as an impertinence, when Mr. Clu ley hastened to explain, and begged her to take an observation and ascertain whether there were any ladies in the neighborhood with that familiar -flower in their bonnets. The lady glanced into several milli nery and dry goods stores, and finally called out that she had discovered a lady with a bonnet bearing the flower wanted. She pointed her out, and im mediately the little one cried out joy fully, 'That's Aunt Tatie." "Aunt Tatie" was disposed to be cross with her charge for. wandering away from the spot she had designated to wait until her aunt did some shopping, but Mr. Clnley's feelings were aroused, and he wouldn't hear the little one scolded. Instead be proceeded to reprimand the woman for her thoughtlessness in leav ing her charge exposed to the danger of being kidnaped. ' "Aunt Tafcie" had become so interested in her shopping that she had forgotten to note the flight of time. Had the little one not been bright enough to recollect the name of the flower in the bonnet she would probably have been crying her eyes out, a guest at the central station, and her aunt would have been frantjc Pittsburg Dispatch. Childish Faith. An example of childish faith, of a kind a dull age wears away, was seen the other day. A little boy was sitting in the yard of an old country homestead: on either siOe of him sat a huge dog, pa tient and loving. The sun shone down scorchingly on the trio, and its rays were uncomfortable. Shading his eyes with his curved hand the child looked sky ward and said, "Put in that sun, please." The sun shone brightly, and the little fellow repeated softly, "Please put in that sun, man up in the sky; it hurts my head." Just then over the face of the blazing orb there .sailed a white summer cloud, then another,, and the yellow blaze turned suddenly to a hazy, restful gray. Turning to the dogs, the little boy, put ting an arm around the neck of each, said: "Did you see the sun pulled in, Borneo and Chieftain? When you wants anything, if you is good, and you asks God for it, he gives it to you. The sun hurt my head, and I asked him to put it in, and don't you see how he did reach out and put it in for me?" The dogs looked wise, leaned their heads lovingly toward the diminutive little theologian, and whatever might have been their belief, kept an inscrutable silence. Providence Journal. ' Why Kyea Are Light and Dark. An interesting point is the cause of the different shades of color we see in the eyes. On a certain membrane in the interior are numerous cells, called "pig ment" cells. When these are present in very great numbers they produce that deep black color of some eyes, and in proportion to their numbers - decrease also the depth of color, till finally a light blue is reached. In certain eyes these pigment cells do not exist at all,-being wanting, indeed, all through the system, hair ana skin. A person of this descrip tion is called an albino, and among ani mals we find a parallel in the case of the white rabbit. Chambers' Journal. Inventors Are Born. Generally speaking, inventors, like poets, are born, not made. Nearly every boy can become a good mechanic or tradesman by diligent study and perse verance, but not every one can become a good inventor. If he has a "knack" for invention, study and hard work will greatly help him, and he stands a fair chance some day of succeeding as well in his chosen line as his brother play mates do in business or professional life. Invention is no longer a spasmodic work, but a legitimate branch of industry, which has its rewards and remunera tions for those who follow it faithfully. worge to. waisn in .New York Epoch. There Are No Blind Fish. There are many animals in the world which pass all their lives in darkness, never seeing a ray of light. Every one has heard of the blind fishes of the Mam moth cave. The latter is the biggest of 600 great caverns in the United States. All of them are inhabited by numerous other sorts of creatures that have no eyes for vision. Literally speaking there is no such thing as a blind fish, since the most sightless of the finny tribe possesses visual organs in a rudimentary condi tion, but through -want of use the optic ganglia and nerves have broken down and been absorbed. Washington Star. r STONE FIGHTS IN COREA. Xa Oriental Pastime That Must Be At tended with Great Danger. Kite flying, whloh is universal in this country, ceases suddenly on the 15th of the first Corean month, and the next day stone fights take its place as the chief publio amusement. In the eastern part of Seoul, the capital, there are large open spaces that have cot been built upon, and here occur the most serious and interesting fights. One section of the city is pitted against another, but any one can take a hand on either side at pleasure. There are no recognized leaders, but the mass of fighters readily follows the lead of any one who shows himself to be a little more reckless than the rest. Two mobs, consisting of fifty, seventy or a hundred men each, are drawn up against each other, with an interval of perhaps fifty yards between them. There is an incessant shower of stones, and each man's business is to hit as many men as he can, and especially to avoid all the stones directed at him. From ten to twenty men on each side are armed with stout clubs and wear thick wadded helmets. These form the skir mishing line. They sally out from their respective sides and, meeting in mid' career, strike out viciously at each other's heads, each man holding up his cloak with his left hand as a shield to ward off the blows of his adversary. After the club fight has lasted about thirty seconds one or the other begins to give way, which is the signal for a rush of the others. Almost invariably the other side breaks and runs, and sometimes are chased into their houses, but generally some of the pursuing party press too closely on the fugitives. Then the latter suddenly turn and deal a few staggering blows, which check the pursuers, and in a few seconds the tables are turned, and those who a mo ment ago are flushed with victory are now in full flight with their enemies. Thus the battle goes back and forth across the fields, while the neighboring embankments are crowded with specta tors. The effect of the thundering cheers of the spectators upon the com batants is marvelous. They charge upon each other as if in actual battle, and show what would be bravery if exerted in 6ome useful cause. Near the river are numerous villages numbering from 100 to 500 houses each. They are situated along the banks at in tervals of about half a mile. These keep np a continual series of fights among themselves during the season, one vil lage being arrayed against the other. The defeated party fly across the marshy field to their own village, followed by their enemies, who enter after them, seizing anything on which they can lay their hands iron files, doors to mark their victory. Then the whole village rises against the invaders, and they fly, glad if they can get back without broken heads. The first stone fight of the season was rather more disastrous than usual. It is reported that six men were killed; but this is probably an exaggeration. A company of soldiers were ordered out to stop it, which they found some difficulty in doing with fixed bayonets. Japanese Paper. Before Learning a Language. Some students begin a language for the mere love of knowing foreign tongues; others acquire them either for professional purposes or with the aim of gaming access to foreign literatures. But whatever be the motive it is well to set out with some knowledge of the science of language some insight into the relations of languages to each other some grasp of the theories of modern scholars about the origin and develop ment of speech. To learn language without knowing anything of the science of language is like acquiring the art of putting up electric fixtures without any knowledge of the principles of electrical science. To approach it, on the other hand, from the standpoint of universal prin ciples is to make the study of it easier and progress in any particular tongue much more rapid. By knowing, for ex ample, the laws of consonantal inter change, we may often discover the meaning of words without being obliged to refer for them to the dictionary. In this way every new language learned makes more easy the acquirement of other tongues of the same or of allied stocks. Boston Herald. Unsafe Money to Carry. My father was once with his ship at Rangoon. One . day during a heavy thunderstorm he was driving in a cab to his agents, when he saw a "coolie" (porter) drop down in the street. He got out of the cab at once and went to the man, but he was dead. There was a burned patch in his waistcloth, on the right side, and some blackened copper "pice" lay on the ground. The man had just received them for carrying a load, and, as the clothes of the poorer natives of India and Burmah have no pockets, he had twisted them into his waistcloth, and this money must have attracted the lightning. But the most curious part of it was that the queen's head on one of the coins was clearly impressed on his side, and even the words "Queen Vic toria" were clearly defined. London Tit Bits. - . . A Booby Prise. A very cute "booby" prize given at a party was a cabbage, tied with a pink ribbon. When it was untied the top was lifted up and the inside contained fine candy. The center of the cabbage had been hollowed out, then lined with tissue paper, filled with the sweets, the top put back and tied on. It created much merriment. Ellye H. Glover in Good Housekeeping.

It is a constant protection from the effects of sun and wind and prevents sun burn and freckles, and black-heads will never come while you use it. It cleanses the face far better than soap and water, nourishes and builds up the skin tissues and thus prevents the formation of wrinkles. It gives the freshness, clearness and smoothness of skis that you had when a little jrirl. Every lady, young or old ought to use it, as it gives a more youthful appear ance to any lady, and that permanently. It contains no acid, powder or alkali, and is as harmless aa dew and is as nourishing to the skin as dew is to the flower.
