TttMarc Recently Unearthefl In tbe
Tomb of Kin it rer Showi Some
Marvelous Worltmanahin.
Some of the most remarkable Egyp
tian jewelry ever discovered has re
cently been unearthed. The date as
signed is as remote as 5000 B. C, but
the workmanship in gold and jewels
is marvelous. In exploring the tomb
of King Zer it was found that the
tomb had been entered for robbery
at some remote period and that the
plunderers had broken off the arm of
the mummy quietly and hidden it in
a crevice in the wall perhaps on be
ing discovered or alarmed and had
never returned to remove it, says the
New York Herald.
On taking off the wrappings Prof.
Petrie found four magnificent brace
lets of gold, with amethyst, turquoise
and lapis laaull in varied and elegant,
adjustments. The gold work was
peculiarly fine and delicate, though
the metal was soft and pure, appar
ently with no hardening alloy. The
stones were beautiful and very strik
ingly and peculiarly arranged.
A mimber of amethyst beads of the
richest and deepest purple, about a
quarter of an inch in diameter, are in
the possession of Mr. Edward Ayer,
of Chicago. He obtained them from
Dashone, Egypt, they being from the
treasures in the tomb of Prinoens
Merit, daughter of Amenhotep II., of

Magistrate Jermon once spent a sum
mer in a little town in South Jersey and
made the acquaintance of a justice of the
peace who held more offices than Pooh
Bah himself. "He was," says Jermon,
according to the Philadelphia Press, "a
notary public, a storekeeper, superin
tendent of the Sunday school, a lay
preacher, postmaster, coroner, a farmer
and a few more things that I can't recall
now. He was a shrewd old fellow, as a
decision in a case that I heard will go to
show. Two farmers had a dispute about
the ownership of some poultry, and each
pleaded his own case. Each side had ar
equal number of witnesses and there was
some tall swearing done all around. If
I had been sitting on the case I should
have given it up as a bad job, or sent it
to court for trial. But that's Just what
he didn't do.
"I forgot to state that in addition to all
hi3 other functions he was his own con
stable. The hens were in court in a
coop, and he ordered that the constable
should take the coop to the roadway op
posite the farms of the litigants and turn
the creatures loose. And he did the job
himself and got his fee for doing it. The
hens settled the case themselves by go
ing directly to one of the farms, and the
Justioe declared that they knew their
way home, and gave Judgment accord
ingly." HAREM WANTED SARDINES.

The largest pile of diamonds ever
brought together, states the National
Geographic Magazine, was collected at
the De Beers mine in South Africa in
July, 1900. The directors wanted to
Vuow the quantity of diamonds neces
sary to fill a certain measure. Diamonds
of till kinds were put in just as mined,
and it was thus asceiaineu that a cubic
meter of diamonds weighs 11,976,000
carats and has an approximate value of
about $70,000,000., Up to the present
time the Kiabtrloy mines have produced
more than $500,000,000 worth of uncut
diamonds.

If the sultan of Morocco, Muley Abd-el-Aia,
k hi thron, it perhaps
might be due to the discontent of bis
subjects in seeing him adopt bo precip
itately European manners and babits.
The sultan disregards this dtnger, how
ever, and when he wants a thing Euro
pean, he must have it at once, says the
New York Tribune.
One night there was & great noise in
front of the residence of an Englishman
inhabiting Morocco. Immediately the
soldiers of the palace rtruck the door
violently exclaiming: "Daba! Daba!
(quick! quick!). The master wants all
the sardines you have in your house!"
The ErfrllBhm&n was not a sardine
merchant, but handed over what few
boxee he had, and leaned later tha
only a few hours before a foreign min
ister had presented to the sultan a few
boxes of sardine, which were opened
in the harem and partaken of by all
the inmate.
Such a svdden freniy waa created for
them that on the morrow a special rak
kaa was dispatched to Tangier, with or
der to bring all the sardine In the
place.
Coat of Gun Practice.
The $1,33.000 asked by the secretary
of the navy for gun practice during the
year seems enormous until one consid
ers the cost of firing the big guns now In
use. To fire a 13-inch gun costs for
powder and ehr-M just about $500. Tour
times a year the men are exercised In
big gun practice, vith regulation
charges, each man of the gun crew firing
four shots at these trials. There are
seven men in the gun's crew on these
guns. To fire a foiir-irch common shell
costs $17, a six-pound: r, $3.86; a one
