The German Oriental society has been most successful In Its explora tions at Abu-Sir in Egypt, and most Interesting "finds" were distributed among the Berlin museums during the month of October. One of the most Important discoveries was a perfectly preserved mummy of Jen Em Jechvet, the high priest ot the temple, who died about 2,000 years before Christ The body was found in a family vault, which also contained the remains of his priest nnd reader and their wives. Only throe tombs of such an age havt been found In good preservation dur ing tho last century, and this is tha first time that the contents have been brought safely to Europe. Jon lay in his coffin onvoloped In a brown linen shroud, Just as ho had boon placed thore 4,000 years ago. In accordance with the fashion of tbo time, he has small side whiskers, nnd a longer tuft cn his chin, and his eyes are made to appear Unnaturally long by means of tho careful application of rouge. The v.ig, which is largo and parted down tho middle, has a blul3h tint verging on green, and must originally have been tho color of lapis lazuil, In imita tion of tho hair wcra by Egyptian gods. Tho mummy was lying slightly on tho loft side, as Egyptians sleep to day, and the head rested on a sup port such a3 is still In use In the Soudan. The oyes are turned toward the rising sun. Two staffs wore found iteslda the body, snd a littlo wooden ctatuo. TCLD C- 3CHOOL CHILDREN. Ohrewd Ancwera Clven fcy Tots In Exa minations.

At last one held up a hand and said with confidence, "Oh, I know t each or. Gaston is ungovernable." Gaston was the defeated candidate for Governor of Massachusetts at the recent election. On another day exercises in draw ing being in order, one child was told to draw a person sitting in a chair. Waen called up some time after, she showed a sketch of a child, or a very mail person, standing at the side of a chair, as tall only as the seat of the chair.

OH 8II.VCKI.EY told me this in the rtiitlni-cr's room tip nt the Junction enp nlalit; he told It without t'.iy nsltlns for If, and tvithotit any Introduction. Hp simply looked tip from hi.: paper and stnrted lu. "Iu the first place," said lie. "I should never have taken thp Limited out thnt night. Xo inau In my condition should have cone out, not even oil n shifter. Ilut I was n kid then, I was the youns est engineer 011 the roud, and when Harry Wilkes had died the week be fore they picked, mo from the whole gang to run the Limited on off nights. I hud Iil'L'u nt It just a week, ns I salj, when 'the King' camp out and gave mo the train for keeps, nnd raised me 10 $4. The next afternoon I went down to Milly's nnd asked her the question I had been keeping liaelc until I got that raise, and she n.-cepted me. So when I came down to the round house that night I wasn't fit to work. I wns simply crazy. I was walking on nir nnd nothing Jarred me It was snowing lightly us I backed Mie old 114 down through the yards, nnd by II o'clock, which was tho Llniltcd's bell time, there was about nn Inch of tho white stuff on the ground. But that didn't feaze me; neither did the seven l'ullmans and two extra es presses bother me. "When Cnrruthers gave mo the slg nnl I pulled out, and the old girl slipped and slid out over tho cross overs, dragging fourteen enrs behind her out Into the night. I was ns easy with her as I could be; but when the raJls are all Icq you can't bo very easy, nnd then, as I've said, I was Just crazy happy. Well, nothing very much hap pened until after we'd got out past Iloruersvillp, where tho Rush River Branch runs off, Then the fun com menced. There was nothing wrong with my train, but everything else on the road was upside down. It happens that way sometimes. Of course tho snow, which wns pretty thick, had n good deal to do with It, but even mak ing allowances for that, there was a lot of russedness lying around loose. We had to dodge freights, all of which were late, and at Boothtown we were held tip teu minutes on a crossed order. Then the draw at James Creek got Jammed with Ice, nnd that took up some more of our time. And when wo did have n clear track It was so blamed Icy you couldn't get morp than forty miles out of It. "Well, the long and short of it was that wc crept Into Emerson thirty-five minutes late; and Brown, the des patcher at Melotropolis, was swearing so s to melt the wires. It was up to me, so to speak, and I was just crazy enough to appreciate the beauties of the situation. From Emerson to Melotropolts It was 173 miles, and tho LImlted's time was four hours. As I was late, I had just three hours and twenty-five minutes to do It In. Thnt wasn't bad. and I could have done It oa na ordinary night: hut with lx Inches of snow on tho ground nnd n wholo road tied 1111 iu front of me well. It was a different story. But I was crazy that night, as I've already said. I told the fireman to keen busv. and then we pulled out. 1 managed to get the old 114 under way In pretty good snnpe, lmt I emptied my sand box doing It. However, it was all level roadjuul things were goiug very nicely, I managed to knock out the eighty- eight miles to Swlnliourne In two hours nud twenty minutes, whleb was very disheartening. I stopped nt Swln bourne and wcut tip' to the tower. " 'Tell Browu." I said, 'that I want a clear track into Melntropolls, as I'm going to bring tho Limited In on time.' "Then I went back nnd ellnibed up Into tho can of 114 nnd pulled out. 1 had just nu hour to do the last eighty five miles, and I counted on the down grade from gwlnhourne to help me do it. lou'll readily see how crazy I was. But a man only gets accepted by the girl he loves once, so It was ex disable. But I oughtn't to have taken the Limited out. "Once we struck the top of the grade I pulled the throttle out to the last notch and jammed the lever way for ward. The old ten-wheelor Jumped ns if her firebox wns loaded with dyna mite, and she blew a stream of sparks into the nlr that made ber look like Vesuvius. My uremsn cursed me good and loud, but I gave lltni a kick ia the ribs that kept him quiet for awhile, Wheu he got his breath he simply ahov elled coal.. Little by little I got the lever back, nud the old 114 simply laid herself out In earnest. I coaxed ber all I could nnd finally when I got hor up to her best gait I looked around. Behind me the fourteen cars were slnniiulng around like mad, each one seeming to bo going off on a line of its own. The scenery went past ina In A wblte streak, and the wet snow com meuced to bank up bard on the front of all our top gear. The bell got burlod la it. the headlight glaaa waa covered half au inch thick, and as for the ca windows they simply weren't any use at all But I didn't care; 1 waa making np time. And so I simply sat there and grinned like a Jackass and thought of Milly nnd bow proud she'd be to bear that I'd got the Limited through on time. "And then gradually It dawned on mo what I was doing. I'd started tho heaviest train on the road going down hill like nn avalanche, nnd If hades had been open before ns I couldn't have stopped. I bad no sand, nnd evr-u If I bad It wouldn't have done me nny good. Meanwhile tho old nutchlno raced fnstcr and faster nnd the snow kept piling up forward. I tried to open the front windows, but they had n foot of solidly packed lee and snow ngnlnst against them, nnd you couldn't open them with nu axe, Thru I slid opeu the shlo windows and tried to look ahead, hut I couldn't nny more than get my head out before my face would be full of snow nnd water. "So then I knew I waa In for It nny way, nnd onro more I got reckless. If I was going to bp killed I might ns well have n good big wreck ns nny other kind; for then Mllly could be sort of proud of the heap I piled up. 80 I let her out a little more nnd sat there nnd listened to the track going by un derneath. I knew the switches nnd crossovers pretty well, nnd so I man aged to keep a sort of dead reckoning as to whero wo were. "And then all of a sudden I came out of ray trance-wlth a shock, for I heard thp crash and rattle ns we pounded over the diamond nt Melotropolln J.-.nctlon, only two miles out of tho station. I slammed tho throttle In, threw the lover back nnd shoved the nlr on full. "Of course I went np ngnlnst tho front windows for my pains, nnd I staid there, like n fly glued to tho wall, while the old 114 had convul sions over ho frogs In tho yard. I knew she was sliding, and I smiled grimly ns 1 thought how 'the King' would swear over the flat spots In the drivers. And then suddenly everything became very quiet nnd I knew tho thing had stopped. I leaned hack on the seat and then climbed down like one dazed nnd looked about. We wore right abreast of tho platform at Melo tropolls, and just about six Inches ahead of our pilot was tho rear end of the Overland. On the platform people were getting out as If nothing had hap pened, the trunks were being thrown about and then Cnrruthers come up, snapping his watch. 'You did well, Bob, snld ho; 'you've got thirty sec onds to spare.' "And then his lower Jaw dropped and ho turned white ns a sheet. 'Good God!' ho snld. I climbed out to see what the matter was, and then I nearly fainted. "There was old 114 Just a solid hill of snow from the point of her pilot bnek to the top of her cab. I certainly had been mad. But Mllly was tickled when she beard I'd done eighty-five miles through the snow In fifty-nine minutes and a half. But I wouldn't do It again, not even for Mllly." And then Bob Shncklcy rose and walked out to the locker room. New York Evening Sun. Where History Is Silent. The old story of a mother who, when she feared her boy was lost, recalled all his virtues, but ou bis being re stored to her Immediately punished him soundly for running away, is repeated with rather a different ending by the New York Evening Post: He was but four years old, nnd was allowed to play on the street with other littlo tots who were as yet too young to go to school. His mother would fre quently go to the front window to Bee what he was doing. One day when she went to tho win dow ho was nowhere lu sight. Sho watted thero quite, a while, but he did not appear. Again and again sho went to the window but could get no gllmpso of hi 111. She was becoming alarmed when he returned. Ho seemed to be proud of having run away, hut with tho pride there was also an expression of anxiety, not to say fear. Ho did not know whnt sort of a reception ho was likely to get. His mother sternly asked him where ho had been, "Be careful, now, and don't He to me," she said. The boy's face" brightened. "Mam ma," said he, "did George Washington ver tell a lie?" "No," was the reply, "and don't you tell me one." The boy's face still shone. "Mam ma, ho contiuued, ' Ud ueorgo asn- ngtou's 111 a in 111 a wh!p him when be didn't tell a He?"
