Wo And in the table at the Riimoawennj distinct reference! to tho bull, the lion and the scorpion, and it In also clearly indicated that at that timo theSiriua roM lielincally at tho beginning of tho rise of tho Nilo. This word holiiioally requires a little explanation. The nnclnnta, who had no tolescutma and hud to use their horizon a the only scientific ItiHtruiuent which they possessed, were very careful in de termining the various conditions in which a star con Id rifto. For instance, if a star were lining at the same time that the sun was rising, it was said to rise cosniically, bnt unless certain very obvi ous precautions were takon tho rising star would not be seen in consequence of the presence of daylight. It is quite clear that if we observe a star rising In the dawn it will got more and more difficult to observe the nnaror the time of snnrise is approached. There fore what the ancients did was to deter mine time before sunrise in the early dawn at which the star could bo very obviously and clearly seen to rise. Tho term "heliacally rising" was coinod to represent a star rising visibly In the dawn therefore before tho sun. Gener ally throughout Egypt the sun was sup posed to be somothlng like 10 degs. be low tho horizon when a stur was stated to rine heliacally. We find then that more than 8,000 years ago tho Egyptians wore porfectly familiar with these facts, and tho differ ence between a coMiiical and holiiical rising was perfectly clear to them. But the table nt Thebes tells us. moroover, that the sun's journoy in relation to some of the zodiacal compilations was per fectly familiar 5,000 years ago. These then are some of tho more general statements which may bo modo with regnrd to the most important points so far discussed by those who have deult with Egyptian astronomy, and it muy be added that all this information has come to us in mythologic guise. The various apparent movements of the heavenly bodies which are produced by the rotation and revolution of the earth and the effects of procession were familiar to the Egyptians, however ig norant they may have boon of the causes. They carefully studied what they u.v and attempted to put their knowledge together In the tnoBt convenient fashion, associating it with thoir strange im aginings und with their system of wor ship. Nineteenth Century. They Drsuik to Lord How. At one time the officers under Lord Howe refused to drink his health at their mess, for, though a splendid admi ral, he was not popular in the navy ou account of a certain shyness and want of tact with those about him. Tho chaplain, who was u protege of bis lord ship, was mortified at this and deter mined that they should drink to Lord IIowo. When called upon for a toast one day he said, "Well, gentlemen, I can think of nothing better nt this mo ment than to ask you to drink the Unit two words of tho third psalm, for a script tiral toiist for once may bo takf-n from oao of my cloth." Tho toast waa accordingly drunk. On referring to tho Eibla it was found that tlio first two words of tiie third psalm were "Lord How." After tho glorious 1st of .luno tho ubove was tho favorite toast throughout tiio navy, a: 1 tho chaplain triumphed mora witLly than he anticipated. London Tit-L'its. Ilcurded Women, Eearded women have existed at u! periods of tho world's history. Even Ilerodotus, tho "Father of History," gives us an account of one Pedasnes, "who lived above Hulicaruassus," a priestess of Minerva, whom) chin regular ly budded with a largo beard whencvei any great public calamity impended. Bartul Oaretji. a woman of Copenhagen, hod a beard reaching to her waist. Charles X II of Sweden had a female gren adier in his army who possessed the beard as well as the courage of a man. Mar garet, duchess of Austria and govorness of the Netherlands, had a large, wiry, stiff beard, of which she was very proud. Of late years, Albert, duke of Bavaria, reports having had a young lady gov erness in his household who was "tho proud possessor of a very large black beard." Philadelphia Press. An Era of Unmarried Women. Susan B. Anthony is of the opinion that we are on the verge of an era of un married women. Our civilization, she says, is changing. Daughters cannot be supported at homo, and there is nothing there to busy them. The women used to pin and weave, make carpets and soap, but now all that is Jons for them in the factories. Young men do not make enough inouey to support their wives, and there is snch a craze for dissipation among them that the women would rather go into a store for almost nothing than to marry. New York Sun. Wanted a Good Cow. A young couple were giving up city life and going to live on a farm, und one of the most absorbing questions in tho future farmer's mind was the buyiug of his stock. He was talking cows to his wife ono evcuing and all the idea she had to offer was, "Please, Georgo, do get one cow any way that gives good buttermilk, because it is the loveliest thing in the world for the complexion." Exchange. Children at Table. It is an old fashioned notion that "chil dren should be seen and not heard." An occasional talk by the little folk is not objectionable, yet at the same time they should not monopolize conversation or attention. They have their place, and it is on injustice that they should at the family board always be silent. Good Housekeeping. No More Dream Stuff. We are to talk no more of dream stuff.

A Remarkable Country with Many Re markable Creaturet An Intereetlng Story of the Creation and the First Hu man llelnga A Weird Muriel. With qnnc-r insistency the English resi dents in India coll the Himalayan ranges "hills" not only those immense moun tains, but also the tremendous clinin which runs parallel to tho Indian ocean and sends its feelers, as it were, into tint center of south India. "Hills" indeed is the gencrio term for those stations in which the weary civilian and his wife, the soldier and his family betake them selves f rest during the woeful heats of summer. Simla is natutlly the grandest of those nmrnor capitals, tor It houses the im perial government; ifaini Tal shelters that of the northwest provinces; Dengul rotreats to Dor jlllin and Madras to that most delightful of all stations Utaco mund, in the Kilgiri hills. The Nilgirls are perhaps tho most beautiful of the many beautiful moun tain ranges in India. They do not show an amazing growth of forestino gianU, but they aro most verdurous. Their sides are covered with vast beds of rhododen drons, whose dark loaves and enormous scarlot flowers often mako them look as if on fire. Wild roses flourish with un wonted luxurianco, which, clambering over woods of ilex and ougonia, make impenetrable floral thickets. Nor is the country alono remarkable for its lovely landscapes or interesting for its agricultural possibilities, as enter prising coffoe planters have set out im mense orchards of this cherrylike tree, but chiefly so for the queer races which find shelter in their wooded and well watered canyons. Some years ago tho writer was in the Nilgiris in connection with government work, and had there tho opportunity of seeing the small savagos who live in the most Impenetrable parts of this moun tainous couutry. These are dwarfs and havo uever been tempted to partake of the benefits of civilization. They sriU live in holes lu tho ground or in hollow trunks, are absolutely nuked and quar rel with tho mauiey over wild fruits. Now and again they venture to the lower levels aud barter honey for gloss beads and other worthless gewgaws. They hunt with bows and arrows and are re markably skillful in the use of these primitive weapons. Another tribo equally as interesting are the Todos, who Bince 1000 havo at tracted the attention of Europeans. Tho Portuguese thought they were Christians nnd sent to their moral assist ance a Jeauit father, who, however, soon discovered that they were the most ig norant heathens. Much argumeut bus been wasted upon the origin of these people, some asserting they were ab original to southern India, others insist ing they wera of tho lost tribes of Israel und others that they vcro Manicheana. However, only COO or 700 remain, and the little settlements are scattered over tho most piuturosquo portions of tho Nilgtris. Their only worship is the buf falo, of wluch they Lave largo herds, and whoso care und tho gathering of wild honey constituto the sum of their daily toil. Their story of tho creation bears some resemblanco to tho belief of tho ortho dox Christian, for they tell how a ma:i created a fellow man out of the earth and finished tho good work by making a woman, not out of his own ribs, but tho other man's ribs. They havo a trinity, consisting of a father, son and a lcito. The lost was born of a pumpkin, tho offspring of tho first womiui. They, too, indulge in a heaven and a hell, and as the mountain streams aro in fested with leeches which make thoir possage uncomfortablo, the Todas say hell is a river inhabited by these awful creatures, spanned by a single thread, over which the righteous can pass safely, but too frail for the traffic of tho guilty. The Toda's dead body is ewathod in a new cloth, his toes ore tied together with red thread, earth is thrown over his corpse, and two of kla bnffaloee are sacri ficed. They impose the dead moo's hands upon the animals' horns and la ment with bitter cries his passage to the unknown world. After removing the skull and finger naik the body is burned, and the ashes are scattered to the four winds of heaven. The relics of the duparUd are token to the mourning house and stored with those of others who during the year havo passed the groat divide. Around thW house ore hnug the utensils which were used by the deceased and those articles which he most valued during life. Wom en are jealously excluded from the in terior of this house of woe, but are per mitted to peop through the crevices at the assembled mourners, which a year later ierform the last rites. They lie on the floor, giving vunt to the most hideous howls, beating their broasts aud exciting each other to the flow of tears. On tho turf outside tho house other Todas maintain an exciting dance, call ing out their loud huh-huh-huhs, skimp ing their feet and dancing to tho unin spiriug music of tho pipe and a buffalo hide drum, blown and beaten by the car rion eating Kotas, who furuish music on nil these diurnal occasions. Nor aro the ceremonies yet over. Tho sacrifice has to be performed, and this is done in a characteristically brutal fashion, for the mild Hindustani can work himself into the most fearful of religious frenzies.
