Many nfroa ago Ptolemy Epiphenea, king of Egypt, paid tlio nrrcars of tnxoa and other dehta of tho priesthood -of Egypt, and in thnnka and to allow their reapect for hli ootiHlderntion the priest hood, nt a ynod held in Moniphia, pnaaed a decree comtnemornting it Tho decree wna cut Into atone, Kathnt wna the mode of prtscrviiif a record of ' hlHtoricul eventa Thia hnpiionrd nhout Hid yenra beforo tho Chriatitni era.

Yenra pnsscd, ttnd tho dust of nges buried from viow tho stono thnt wat des tined to phiy so importiuit a part in throwing n light upon tho shndowy con ceptions of modern thinkers regarding tho past lifo and manners nnd customs of tho Egyptians. This ia the origin of tho Rosetta atono, but no ouo in tho modern world knew of lta existence until thotimo of Napoleon. He carried his conquering arms nil over Europe, and not content with his vic tories there he invaded Egypt, Where ho fought the brilliant Egyptian campaign. While stationed near Rosettn.'in lower Egypt, iomo of the soldiers with tho French engineer, M. Boussnrd, found, while excavating in the historical soil, a block of 9tono of black basalt, about 8) feet in length and a little more than S l feet in width. ' On It they saw strange and unintelligible wirting or drawings It waa tho Rosetta atone, ao called from the name of the place where it was found, but they did not dream how pro ciona their diaoovery would prove. Aud it waa not until about IB years had paaaed that even one word was translated. Dr. Young in 1815 mado out tho word Ptolemy, aud he it was who discovered that tho writing waa phonetio and not ideographic, aa had been supposed. Bnt the key had not yot done ita work, for, like Aladdin and his lamp, the talisman had not yet been conquered. . Dr. Young, continuing hia rceearoh, deciphered the word Berenice among the pictorial writings of the fresooe at Karnak. Bat it ia to Cham pol ion that most of the credit ia due, for he contin ued the research unremittingly, and finally hia labors were crowned with vic tory. The translation of the Rosetta atone waa oompletod that la to aay, ao far aa the atone itself is oomplote, for one part of It Is broken off. ' It waa not an easy task to conquer, bnt one well worth the attempt, and honor will ever redound to the men that undertook and succeeded in opening np the broad field of the literature of the east, the field that glows with glorious deeds and yast achievements, and that for ages baffled the wisest Fhiladol piba Times. ''' Ms More Milk. "There is no more milk in the world, " said an old gourmet as he sat at his luncheon at the Manhattan olub. ' 'It haa gone, and not even a bubble of regret seems to mark tho spot where it sank out of light Milk, the earliest staff of all generations, is now a thing unknown in polite circles. It's all cream now. It does not matter whether I dine here or in Texaa or in California, everywhere the waiters aak: 'Will yon take cream lh your coffee?' and 'Will you have oreara hot or cold?' The good old staple, milk, is no longer called byname. .Even In Chioago they call It cream, Milk i tabooed. It has gone out of existence with the word 'woman, ' the word 'un dertaker, ' the word 'dress' and a lot of other noble tonus. Now it's always cream, lady, funeral director and gown wherever yon go, even in Chicago. And yet the 'cream' is often pale blue and thin, and if it waa no served as oreara I would awear it waa milk, and darned bad milk at that "New York Sun. i A Love Match.

Tho powerful social movement in tho direction of thn freedom of women ia being felt in this community. Women nre "rising in their might" and "view ing with alarm," and nil thnt such things imply. They nre beginning to assert their rights. 1 saw one of them who had just silt spellbound bencuth the fervid oratory of Miss Maude Banks when the hitter "shook off tho yoke of woman's slavery in peopling tho world" enter a candy store and fix her deter mined gaze upon the contents of a glasi case. ., "Those are 00 rents a pound, mad am," said tho candy girl, "and those nre 45, and those are 60." "Give me three of these, and two of these, and three of these," said the la dy, "und, mind you, I want just exact ly those I've pointed out and they are not to be more than 10 cents, or I won't take them." When the customer had departed, the' candy girl, who waa still a self satisfied slave, leaned against the case and fan ned herself with a paper bag. New York Herald.

"It would be excellent." replied the grumbler. "And where every one went to church on Sundays?" "That would be delightful place.

' Farratrat's Death. . , Admiral Farragut's death was due to the selfishness of a woman, Rev. James J. Kane, ohaplain of the Brooklyn navy yard, said in a reoent lecture. The ad miral and his wife were coming from California, when a woman occupying a seat in front of them in the car opened window. Admiral Farragut was ill, and the strong draft of wind which blew directly upon him chilled him, Mrs. Farragut asked the woman courteously if she wonld not kindly close the win dow, as it was annoying to her husband. The woman snapped out: "No, I won't close the window. I don't care if it does annoy him. I am not going to smother for him." Admiral Farragut thus caught a severe cold, which resulted in his death. A few days before- tho end came he said, "if I die, that woman will be held accountable. " ' Meteorological- ' .

This tem ple wits bnllt just beforo tho Christlntl era by olio of the Ptolemies, nnd the porch wna added by Tllierlns. Though built by Uroek nnd Romnn emperors, it ia essentially Egyptian In nrehltectnro and decoration, nnd na it wna thn first of the great temples thnt we had seen wo wero very much impressed. It stands on tho borders of tho desert and tho ver dant plain, aurrnnniled by tho ruina of an old town, the dobrla of which," to (tother with the blowing sands, riso sev eral feet above ita fouiidntloua. The tomplo ia very well preserved. Ita porch, tho latest part ia a noble hall, support ed by 24 columns about 8 feet in diam eter and 40 feet high, the capitals pre senting onlnasnl faces of flathor on four sides. Every foot of tho anrfaco, outside and in, is covered with sculpture, which, tliough of the period of decadence, is still striking because of the nmount of it Tho main temple behind the porch consists of four central chambers and aomo 20 others, each of which hnd its bso. Tho faces on nenrly all tho figures hnve been inutllnted by iconoclastic Mo hnmmcdiuia or Christians. On tho ex terior of tho wall in the roar, among other flgnrea are Cleopatra nnd he son Cnwarion, whoso father wna Julius Cownr. Thia representation of tho fa mous Egyptian queen, though contempo raneous, scarcely justifies tho tradition of her lieauty.

There was a great crowd in railway station, from which a train was about to depart, and all at onoe a titan who had put hia hand in hia undercoat pocket to take out his pocketbook and pay his faro exclaimed: "I've been robbed I Some villain haa taken my pocketbook with over 100 in it" "Where did yon carry your pocket book, sir?" inquired a bystander. "In my undercoat pocket, behind." "Then, sir, yon can scarcely blame tho individual who has taken it," re plied the other in s pompous, self satis fled, patronising manner, and in a voice of warning intended for the ears of all within hearing. "Yea, yon offer, if I may say so, a temptation, a premium, air, upon theft, by carrying your money in such a place. Now, I always carry my money here, " ho exclaimed, putting his hand into an inside breast pocket of hia coat, "and there it ia always" "safe," he would have said, but he sud denly drew out his hand as if it had been bitten by an adder and cried, "Why, my pocketbook has gone tool" London Tit-Bits.

The armature is but three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, and the motor ia only half an inch high. The machine runs at the velocity of 6,000 revolutions a min ute. It requires a current of one-fourth of an ampere, with a pressure of three volts. The motor would make an appro priate watch charm. Kansas City Times. ' Oar Higher Edacatloa.

" Now York Herald. Earthworm. Darwin says in "The Formation of Vegetable Mold:" "If a man had to plug np a small cylindrical hole with anon objects aa leaves, petioles or twigs he wonld drag or push them in by thnir pointed ends, but if these objects were very thin relatively to the aise of the hole he would probably insert some by their thicker or broader end. The guide in hia case wonld be intelligence. " He then goes on to ahow by reports of actual experiments that this is the method pur rued by earthworms. Not only do they adapt the leaves of the trees of their own country to their needs, bnt the leaves of foreign trees are dealt with ia ar similar way. The following words of Mr. Dar win are remarkable! "If worms are able to judge, either before drawing or after having drawn an object close to the months of their burrows, how beat to drag it in, they must acquire some no tion of its general shape. This they prob ably acquire by touching it in many places with the anterior extremity of their bodies, which serves as a tactile organ. "It maybe well to remember how per foot the sense of touch become in a man when born blind and deaf, as are worms. If worms have the power of acquiring some notion, however rude, of the shape of an object and of their burrows, as seems to be the case, they deserve to be called intelligent, for they then act in nearly the same manner as would a man under similar cironmstanoea, " Isnpeeanloa CaBgreeeaaea. "Although a congressman gets about $18.60 a day in the way of salary," said an old time house attache, "there are a great many men in the lower branch of congress who are always short of money. Quite a number spend their income reck lessly, bnt a great many have legitimate domestic expenses that ran so close to the amount of their salary that they have hard picking at timet to get along. "A considerable number of members discount their salaries at the banks. They are charged something like 8 per cent, and if the total of this account were made publio it would make a re markable showing. It is by no means the new or younger members who are oftenest short before salary day comes around. Many of the older members, who have sat in the house for years, are in this predicament quite frequently. Many of them are men of irreproachable habita, but with large and expensive families to support and with heavy po litical obligations at home forming a constant drain on their exchequer which they cannot get rid of."

Professor Peabody, who gives in The Forum some facts concerning the Dutch system, says there are no great poor houses and few ablebodied paupers in Holland. There is a tract-of publio land containing 6,000 serf. It is divided into six model farms, and to one of these is sent the poor person applying , for public relief.
