band escorted them to Sandy Hook.
This fact was duly heralded In the
Iyoudou newspapers, to which was add

York the dwarf was es-orted to the
packet by no 1. ss than lo.fnw persons."
Soon after arriving in London Mr.
Itanium and his charge called at the
ofiice of The Illustrated Ixiudon Nev.s.
The Grr.t Hnrait of Tom Thuiub taken
la England appears in that journal,
dated IYb. 21. 1S44. There are two
cuts. In the first he is seen standing
on a chair by a table, which serves to
emphasize his diminuthe s'ze. The
wcond picture is very good and is call
ed "The American Dwarf at the Prin
cess Theater." He is represented as
1'it;g on the stage In-fore the footlights
parodying the walk and manners of
Napoleon. Tom Thumb's performances
at the Frincess theater made such a
hit that Mr. Itanium nest engaged
Egyptian halL Piccadilly, whither
thronged many visitors of rank and
fashion.
The American minister, the Hon. IM
v.ard Everett, was very kind to his
countrymen, and it was at his house

Murray, master of the queen's house

In retiring from the royal presence
Mr. Itanium attempted to follow the
esample ot by the l.rd in waiting by
backing o::t. The gallery was of great
length, and the gentlemen with long
strides made rapid progress, but Tom
Thumb's !iort legs left him far In-hind

A good story comes from Atlanta,
but the Incident uapiened several sea
son ago. Tlie occasion was a swell
church wedding. The edifice had been
gloriously decorated. The bride, sur
rounded by a company cf pages, flow
er girls and maid.-i of honor, was slow
ly passing down the aisle, while the
prosjjective bridegroom and his best
man and the officiating clergyman
were taking their places. The church
organ was inaling forth the sounds as
of joyous wedding liells. Fashionable
people dressed for the occasion occu
pied the seats of the handsome church.
It o hapta-ued that otie of the pages
hail in the rush of business prepara
tory to dressing for the occasion boon
turned over to the care of a nurse. As
he proceeded down the main aisle of
the c'jurob in comiany with the other
youngsters, who in white satin suits
were doing the honors of each resioc
tive household, he suddenly espied his
mother seated in one of the pews.
At this olnt the organist began
p'.nying softly as the wedding party
passed to the altar. Then, above the
gentle strains of music clear as a bird
could lie hoard the voice of the afore
said small ! '.
"Mamma." he shrilly cried, "nurse
pi.t on my panties wrong side before,

Of course the honifiiHl mamma could
do nothing but blush scarlet, but lifted
a prayer that the young scion would
keep still from that time on. And he
dil and received a hearty kiss from
the bride at the close of the ceremony.
This is a true story and can be vouch

Probably the oldest copy liook for

which was found in excellent condi

the time of Moses, or almost S.Wlt
years ago. It proves that the Egyi

etc. Numerous examples show that
their principal oeralious with entire
units and fractious were made by
means of addition and multiplication.
Subtractions and divisions were not
kuowu in their present form, but cor
rect results were obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the pa
pyrus. Among the examples given is
this one: Ten measures of barley are
to be divided among ten ersons in
such a manner that each subsequent
person receives one-eighth of a meas
ure less than the one before him. An
other example given is: There are sev
cu men. each one has seven cats, each
cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse
has eaten seven grains of barley, each
grain of barley would, if cultivated,
have yielded seven measures of barley,
liow much barley has been lost in that

tions of area, the calculation of the

J. K. Mcekinsou, formerly a govern

haves are the most superstitious tribe
of North American Indians.
-'I he Mohaves." said he, "believe la

"They believe that the spirit dead go

that all the jiersonal proiierty destroy

tielr dead that Mas-zam-Uo may be
a-,qeased. attl the funeral pyre is made
r-ady for the corpse as soon as life Is
extinct, in order that the spirit Journey
t White Mountain may be accelerated.
"I wituessed about 12 months ago the
trcmatlon of an Influential subchief.
whose death was deeply mourned. The
funeral pyre was made near the tem
porary village. Just off the reservation
at Fort Mohave. Shortly after night
fall all the Inhabitants of the village
gathered aliout the pyre. The body,
wrap I ied In a gorgeous Mohave blanket,
with the fringes artistically worked In
beads, was carried on the shoulders of
focr braves from the lodge to the plat
form of inflammable firewood.
"Following the palllearers came the
women anil children and near rela
tives. The family group crouched near
the pyre. The chief of the medieine
men offered first words of praise and
thanks to Mat-o-we-lla for making the
elements favorable to an easy passage
and then a supplication to Mas-zani-bo
to receive the spirit of the departed
chieftain with due honors at White
Mountain.
Then the dead body was placed on
the pyre, the lire was lighted, the crac
kling flames swept fiercely tip aliout
the corpse, and the spirit was on Its
way to Its eternal home on White
Mountain. Friends and relatives chant
ed songs of Li men tat ion and moaned
piteously while the flames devoured
the body. At short intervals the four
pallls-arers cast uon the flames per
sonal projierty of the deceased In the
expectation of Its going up In smoke
with him to White Mountain, thereby
adding to his comfort.
"The mourners also contributed some
of their choicest personal lielotigings.
so that in his new and eterual home
the absent one might have about him
remembrances of their affection. To
the women of the Immediate family
was granted the privilege of contribut
ing portions of their hair to the flames.
After the incineration was complete
Mohave etiquette forbade the friends
and relatives to eat salt or wash them
selves for four days.
"It Is a lielief firmly fixed In the Mo

In the belief that the wandering spirit
of its Mohave occupant will thereby lie
quieted and thus enabled to approach
Mas-zaui-ho. confident that its petition
to lie allowed to enter the promised
land and thereafter rest in peace
among the other good Indians of White
Mountain cannot be refused.
"Until very recently the Mohaves
held yearly a mourning festivaL It
was the annual burning of iersonal
proerty in houor of the departed mem
licrs of the tribe. At the hour deemed
most propitious by the medicine men
to both Mat-o-we-lia and to Mas-zani-ho
the Mohaves assembled iu an open
spot uear their village, a high kuoll
usually lieing selected. The pyre had
lioeu prepared as though for the crema

TWO BLUFFS THAT WON.
A Pleaaaat Merlin Between tha Ed
itor aad th Reporter.
Jack Sogers was a newspaper report
er and broke. He had hung around the
Dubuque new;aper offices for a Job
ontil he had been requested to move on.
So he decided to move on to Des
Moines. But how to get there was the
question. Jack put on hi thinking
caji. and the result was that two hours
later lie found himself on a traiu and
the conductor standing by his seat.
"Ticket!" said the conductor.
"See hero, conductor." said Jack easi
ly, "my name's Kogers. aud I'm a re
porter on the Des Moines Air Blast.
I'm broke and I'm ia a hurry to get
back home with a big scooj). You let
me ride and the olHce'll fix it up with
you. See?"
"Well.- said the conductor. "I guess
that'll do all right. The road feels
friendly toward The Air Blast. In
fact, the editor is in the lack coach.
Come along and I'll Introduce you. If
he says you're all right it goes."
Jacla was knocked all in a heap ct
the turn thing had taken, but he had
nothing to do but to follow the con
ductor. They baited in front of a mpn

"Mr. Smitem. this is Mr. Uogers. He
says he's a reitorter on your pajter. and
wants the oihce to iay for his tninsMir
tatlou when he gets to les Moines."
"How do you do. Mr. lingers?" said
tLe editor pleasantly, extending his
hand. "Glad to see you. Sit down
here with me." The conductor didu't
wait for any more, but went off.
"Well this is nice of you." said Jack,
too astonished and embarrassed to talk
straight "Of course, I'm not on your
paper, but I'm broke and yarned to the
conductor, hoping to get a Job and
square It up Utter."
"Oil. that's all right, my boy." said
tbe other. "Neither am I on the pa

EGGS BY QUART.
White or Mixed Ia Tbla War of Mar
krtiait "Hen Frail."
"Give me a quart of yolks."
"What are whites worth today?"
"Send use up a gallon of mixed."
Such esjtresslous as these will be fa
miliar terms In grocery stores and
butcher shops in Kausas City before
long. Housewives will make them so.
for eggs will le sold by the pint, quart
and gallou Instead of by the dozen. In
fact, the big confectionery establish
ments of the city buy them by the gal
lon uow. Kitchen economy suggested
the scheme, and local packers imme
diately took it uj).
How ofteu it Is that a cook will
break a dozen or more eggs In order to
get the yolks to make a cake. The
whites will be thrown away, or vice
versa. Why not make a saving of the
whites or yolks, ns the case may be?
was suggested. The packers put the
question to the confectioners, and the
latter saw the point. Now. when a
confectioner wants to make stuff with
the yolks he sends to a jiacUiug house
and buys yolks by the gallon. If he
wants to us; the whites for some
thing, he sends for them. If he wants
to use both, he sends and gets a mixed
can. It is predicted that housewives
will soon adopt the same method.
With this new system of handling
"bt u fruit," there Is absolutely no loss.
The eggshells are even used. They
are ground up aud sold for chicken
feed. Kansas City Times.
