PANBESA'S LETTER. An Account of an Egyptian City Thirty Centarle Ago. Probnbly the oldest lettor in the world Is the letter of Paubesa, written IB centnries before Christ to his friend Anmnemapt, a scribe. The inunnRcript is of perishable papy rus, and it Is amazing that it should havo survived for more than SO cen turies and still he legible. It is preserved in the collection of the British museum. It has been aeverul times translated during the present cen tury. It presents an interesting picture of life in Egypt In tbe time of Raraeses IL It Is more in the nature of a literary production, a poem composed in cele bration of the visit of Pharaoh to the city of Pa-Rumesos, than an ordinary latter of today. Panbma "greet his lord, the scribe Amrmraiapt, to whom be life, health and strength, " asrl then gooa on to do ner) b the verdant fields, the thrashing floors, tbe vineyards, the groves of olive, the oroUards of figs, the jrreat doily markets, with their fish and wa terfowl and swarms of purchasers. Tnetritlzens had their "sweet 'wine ot Khemi, posnegranate wine and wiuo tram the vineyards," and to these they 4Mldd "beorf Kati." Tboro was innsio in plenty furnished toy theaiiigara of tbe school of Memphis. On the wluole, Pa-Ramesea seems to have been -a pleasant plaoe to live In. "'The lesser folk are there equal with the great folk," and Paubesa write that its maidens were "in holiday at tire every day" with locks "redolent df perfumed oil." Washington Star.

One of the most mnrvolou workmen I tho world is Ilnnaunma Munkichi f Tokyo, who has carved a flgnte In Wood so like himself tlmt when tho two aro placed sido by side it ii said to be almost impossible to tell which lives nnd breathes and which dons not. By several connoisseurs in art this wooden figure bns been pronounced the most perfect mid htiman iinnio of innn evet made.

Tho figure I composed of 3,000 pieces of wood, dovetailed nud jointed with such won derful skill that 110 seams cuu be de tected. Tiny boles were drilled for tho recep tion of hoirs, and the wooden figure has glnss eyes 11 ml eyelashes In whioh no disNimilarily to Mnstikiclii'sowu can be detected.

Tho figure stands with a little mask in one bund and nu instrument for carving in the other. The lifelike eyes nre nppaiently gazing at the mask, aud the face wears a look of intense ab sorption.

It says, 'First, give op tho habit: second, eujoy sleep; third, wait for bis turn wbon sharing his pipe with his friends; fonrtb, rise early; fifth, be cured if sick; sixth, help rela tions in need; seventh, enjoy wealth; eighth, plan anything; ninth, get cred it, even when an old customer; tenth, walk any long distance.'

Tbero was one occasion when 'Oavie' played a star triok of this kind on Johnny Ward. Tbe Pittsburg were playing the New York, and the score was very close, in favor of the former. The New York had two men on bases, and Ward at the bat, with two out. Oalviu signaled to George Miller to step to one side of the plate aud deliberately gave four bulls to Ward. Johnny trot ted to first, nnd tbe next instant Oalviu canght him napping, big Beckley block ing him off. It was a put up job, aud old 'Gavie' didn't do a thing to Lawyer Ward but laagh at him all the way to the bench.

A Very IIa:nnn Boy KrJ .ylns ni Well Earned Reward. A portly gentleman sat on tho porch and smiled while a sinull boy, also smiling, painted tho front fence. "Look nt that boy," iho portly man remarked to a visitor. "Uj iuiuka he Is having a good time. A t.imll boy is surely tho drollest creature on earth. When I was a yoniigttort I remember that there were certain kiuds of work I considered play, and one of them was painting. I was always crazy to paint. Many times 1 have tal.cn u bucket of inudiiy water und nu old paint brush and have spent a whole half duy put ting n fVl'.'k coat on the sido of my fa ther's barn. "So with my boy Dick, tho little ohnp paiutii.'p tho fence. IIo has always been crazy to puint. IIo is enjoying himself now you cnu see ho is, and ho will paint that whole fence, too, just as well as ho know how. I don't care if it Is a trifle smeared. Ho's getting joy, solid joy, thicker than tho paint on bis hands aud clothes. "There's a mean sido to it too. He wanted to paint the fence, and I wanted the weeds pnlled out of the yard. So, like an underhanded rascal, I burgaiued with him. I told him that if he would pull nil tho weeds out I would let him paint tho fence. He went through the other job like a soldier ho hates to pull weeds; all boys do and now be think he Is getting bit: reward. It is a downright shame to fool him that way, don't yoo think so?" The portly fcentWiau chuckled again, ' and the small boy, wild with joy, went on plastering paint on the fouoe. De troit Free Press. CroMlng the Threahold. Crossing tho threshold was and is the most critical period of the wedding day with all races, not even excepting tbe Anglo-Saxon. Tbe superstitious fears of the many, always particularly alert on tbe occa sion of a marriage, culminate ' in this final act of the drama. The lifting of tbe bride over tho threshold or her step' ping across it is tho signal in Persia, Arabia nnd among tho Copts of Egypt for tbe sucriiioe of a goat or a sheep. Among the Aenezes, according to' Burckhardt, the bridegroom simply' kills a lamb in front of his father-in-law's tent, nud the ceremony, but for ' the running of the bride from one tent' to another, is complete. Perhaps thar purest symbolical act is tiiut of tilt Transylvuuiau Saxon bridal pair, who step over tbe threshold with their hiuids tied together. Some of these Trausyl vanian customs nre remarkable . and mnt be survivals from a very auoieut period. The bridegroom never wears the shirt made for him by the bride ex cept on his wedding day aud at his' burial, just as the veil of the Japanese bride becomes one day her shroud.
