Tlicrc is a kind of physlogomy in the names of men and women as well as in their faces; our Christian names is our eelf in our thoughts and in the thoughts of those who know us, and nothing can separate it from our existence. Un questionably, also, there is a luck in names, and a certain success in satisfy ing tho public car. To select fortunate names, tho bona nomina of Cicero, was anciently a matter of such solicitude that it becanio a popular axiom "a good name is a good fortune" From a good name arises a good anticipation, a fact novelists and dramatists readily recognize; indeed, Shakespeare makes FnlstafT consider that "the purchase of a commodity of good names" was all that was necessary to propitiategoodfortune. Tmacrinn two nnr.nns startinnr in life as rivals in any profession, and without doubt he who had tho more forcible name would become the more familiar with the public, and would, therefore, in a business sense, bo likely to be tho more successful. Wo all Know that there are names that circulate among us instantly, and make us friends with their owners, though wc havo never seen them. They aro lucky people .whose sponsors thus cast their namc3 in pleasant and fortunate places. It is a matter, then, of surprise that among civilized nations the generality, oven of educated people, aro so care less on this subject. Now evil is as often wrought for want of thought as for want of knowledge, anil as a stimu lant to thought in parents the following suggestions aro offered. It is not well to call tho eldest son after the father and the oldest daughter after the mother. The object of names is to prevent confusion, and this is not attained when the child's name is the same as tho parent's. Nor does the ad dition of junior or sonior rectify the fault; besides, tho custom provokes tho disrespectful addition of "old" to tho father. There is another very subtle danger in calling children after par ents. Such children aro very apt to bo regarded with an undue partiality. This is a feeling never acknowledged, per haps, but which nevertheless makes its way into the hearts of tho best of men and women. It is oasicr to keep out evil than to put it out If tho surname is common, tho Chris tian name should be peculiar. Almost nnv prefix is pardonablo to "Smith." John Smith has no individuality loft, but Godolphin Smith Tcally reads aris tocratically. .Tames Brown is no one, but Sequard Brown and Ignatius Brown aro lifted out of the crowd. Some peo ple get out of this difficulty by iterating the name 30 as to compel respect. Thus, Jones Jones, of Jones' Hall, has a moral swagger about it that would bo suro to carry it through. It is often a great advantago to have a very odd name, a little difficult to re member at first, but which when onco learned bites itself into tho memory. For instance, thero was Jamsctjeo Jecjeo bhoy; we havo to make a hurdle-race over it, but once in the mind it is never forgot. Remember in giving names that tho children when grown up may bo in sit uations where thoy wilt have frequently to sign their initials, and do not givo names that might in this situation pro voke contemptuous remark. For in stance, David Oliver Green, tho initials make "dog;" Clara Ann Thompson, the initials spell "cat." Neither should a name be given whose initial taken in conjunction with tho surname suggests a foolish idea, as Mr. P. Cox, or Mrs. T. Potts. If the child is a boy, it may bo equally uncomfortable for htm to havo a long string of names. Suppose that in adult life he becomes a merchant or banker, with plenty of business to do, then he will not be well pleased to write " George Henry Talbot Robinson" two or three hundred times a day. It is not a bad plan to givo girls only one baptismal name, so that if they marry they can retain their maiden surname: as Elizabeth Barrett Brown ing, Harriet Beechor Stowe. This is the practice among tho Society of Friends, and is worthy of more General adop tion, for we should then know at once on seeing tho name of a lady whether she was married, and if so," what her family name was. In Geneva and many provinces of Franco tho maiden family name of the wife is added to the sur name of the husband; thus, if a Marie Perrot married Adolphe Lauve, they would after marriage write their names respectively, Adolphe Perrot-Lauve and Marie Perrot-Lauve. Tho custom serves to distinguish the bachelor from the married man, and is worthy of im itation; for if vanity unites in the same escutcheon the arms of a husband and -wife, ought not affection to blend their names? Generally the modern " ie," which is appended to all names that will admit 'of it, renders them senseless and insipid. Where is the improve ment in transforming the womanly loveliness of Mary into Mollie. Imag ine a Queen Mollie, or Mollie Queen of Scots! There is something like. sac ri? lege in such a transformation. Take Margaret, and mutilate the pearl-like name into Maggie, and its purity like a halo vanishes, and we have a very commonplace idea in its stead. If we must have diminutives, commend us to the old style. Polly, Kitty, Letty, Dol ly, were names with some sense and work in them, and which we pronounce like articulate sounds. There is no greater injustice than the infliction of a whimsical or unworld like name on helpless infancy; for, as it is aptly said: "How many are there who might have done exceedingly well in the world had not their characters and spiritsvbeen totally SicodemuscI into nothing?" It is certainly a grave question if in the matter of Christian names our re gard for tho dead past should blind our eyes to the future comfort and success ef oar children. Why have we so many George Washington? The. mane ii a fYf tardea for any boy. fie will al ways feel it Inferiority to Hfnme sako is inevitable. Boldcs, tnis pro raiscuous use of great names degrades them; it is not a pleasant thing to sec a' Gcorgo Washington or a Benjamin Franklin in the police news for pettj larceny. For the most part Old Testament names are defective in cunhony and very inharmonious with English family names. Tho female names aro still less musical. Nothing can reconcile us to Naomi Brett, Hcpzibah Dicken son or Dinah Winter. And to prove that the unpleasant effect produced by such combinations docs not remit from the surnames selected, let us substitute appellations unexceptionable and the result will bo even worse Naomi Pel ham, Hcpzibah Howard, Dinah Neville! A Hebrew Christian name requires, in most cases, a Hebrew surname- Some parents very wisely refuse for their children all names susceptible of the nicking process, thinking with Dr. Dove that "it is nbt a good thing to be Tom'd or Bob'd, Jack'd or Jini'd. Sam'd or Ben'd, Will'd or Bill'd, .loc'd or Jcrry'd, as you go through the world."" Sobriquets aro to be equally deprecated. o know a beautiful woman who when a girl was remark able for a wealth of rippling curling hair. Somo one gave her the name of " Friz." and it still fcticks to the digni fied matron. Wit, or would-be wit, de lights to exercise itself after this fash ion, but a child's name is too precious a thing to be ridiculed. Fanciful names are neither always pretty nor prudent. Parents had need of the gift of prophecy who call their children Grace, Faitii. Hope, Fortune, Love, etc. It is possible that their after-life may turn such names into bitter irony. For the sake of conciliating a rich friend never give a jhild a disagreeable or barbaric name. It will be a thorn in his side as lonifas ho lives, andaftcrall he may miss the legacy. A child, too, may have such an as sembly of unrhythmical names that ho and his friends "have to go jolting over them all their lives. Suppose a boy is called Richard Edward Robert. The ear in a moment detects a jumble of sounds of which it can make nothing. If many Christian names are decided upon, string them together on somo harmonious principle; names that are mouthfuls of consonants can not be borne without bad consequences to the owner. Tho euphony of our nomenclature would bo greatly improved by a judi cious adaptation of the Christian namo to the surname. When the surname is a monosyllabic ttic onnstian namo should be long. Nothing cau reconcile the car to such curt names as Mark Fox, Luke Hartc, Ann Scott; but Gil bert Fox. Alexander Hartc, and Cecilia Scott aro far from despicable. A variety of excellent Christian names, it is astonishing that so few should bo in ordinary use. Tho dic tionaries contain lists of about two hun dred and fifty male and one hundred and fifty female names, but out of these not more than twenty or thirty for each sex can bo called at all common. Yet our language has many beautiful names both male and female worthy of a popularity they have not yet attained. Among tho male, for instanco Alban, Ambrose, Bernard, Clement. Christo pher, Gilbert, Godfrey, Harold, Michael, Marniadukc, Oliver, Paul, Ralph, Ru pert, Roger, Reginald, Roland, Sil vester. Theobald, Urban, Valentine, Vincent, Gabriol, Tristram, Norman, Pcrcival, Nigel, Lionel, Nicholas, Eustace, Colin. Sebastian. Basil, Mar tin, Antonj', Claude, Justus, Cyril, etc. all of which havo tho attributes of euphony, good etymology, and interest ing associations. And among female names why havo wo not more girls called by tho noble or graceful appellations of Agatha, Alcthia, Arabella, Beatrice, Bertha. Cecilia, Evelyn, Ethel, Gertrude. Isa bel, Leonora, Florence, Mildred, Milli ccnt, Philippa, Pauline, Hilda, Clarice, Amabel, Irene, Zoo, Muriel, Estelle, Eugenia, Euphcmia, Christabcl, The resa. Marcia, Antonia, Claudia, Sibylla, Rosabel, Rosamond, etc? There aro somo curious superstitious regarding tho naming of children, which, as a matter of gossip, are worth a passing notice. The peasantry of Sussex believe that if a child receive the namo of a dead brother or sister, it it also will die at an early age. In somo parts of Ireland it is thought that giving the child the name of one of its parents abridges the life of that parent. It is generally thought lucky to havo the initials of Christian name and surname the same, and also to have the initials spell some word. In the northwestern parts of Scotland a newly-named infant is vibrated gently two or threo times over a flame, with the words: "Let the flames consume thee now or never"; and this lustration by tire is common to-day in tho Hebrides and Western Isles. Thero is a wide-spread supersti tion that a child who dons not cry at its baptism will not live: also one which considers it specially unlucky if any thing interferes to prevent the baptism at the exact time lirst appointed. In many parts of Scotland, if children of different sexes are at the font, tho min ister who attempted to baptize the girl before tho boy would be interrupted. It is said to be peculiarly unfortunate to the child if a priest that is left-handed christens it. In Cumberland and Westmoreland a child going to be chris tened carries with it a lice of bread and cheese, and this is given to tho lirst person met. In return the recipient must give tho babo threo different things, and wish it health and fortune. Wo have witnessed the last-mentioned custom very frequently, and once in a farm-house at the foot of Saddleback Mountain we saw a very singular meth od of deciding what the name of the child should be. Six candles of equal length were named, and all lit at the same moment. Tho babe was called after the candle which burned the long est Wo have mentioned these supersti tions as curious proofs that our ignorant ancestors considered the naming of chil dren an important event; and we would feel sorry if they tended to weaken in any measure previous thoughts. For, careless as we niay be of the fact, it still remains a fact beyond doubt, that tho name of a person is the sound that suggests the idea of him or her it is their portrait painted in letters. There fore we cannot be too careful not to five one that will be a shame or an em arrassment, or which will even con demn the bearer to the commonplace. Harper's Bazar. Singular assaults with robbery have been committed in Naples for several years past A thief would carry off some article, and when the person robbed attempted to follow and seize him an unknown man wotdd present a pistol and prevent pursuit. A large association of these miscreants has just been discovered. Courageous men, ex perienced in tho use of hro-arms, were needed, and thus was formed an asso ciation known as that of the " Spara tori" (shooters). Each one of these men is bound to assist a thief in the completion of his theft, and so far from being isolated, they form a part of a very large association who prey on the property of others. The President and six of the members have just been ar rested and through them, perhaps, other discoveries may be made-- Prof. Davis, of. .the United States Geodetic Survey, has taken up a posi tion on Jeff Davis' Peak, Nevada, where he will remain until December. He will occupy the peak under difficulties, as it is inaccessible to anything that walks on four legs, and the nearest water is a mile and a half below the timber line. The Eaglaeer's Sterj efthe President' KIde te Ubjt llrsneh. As the President's train swept past the station at Elbcron, Engineer Will lam H. Pago, of Jersey City stood with hi- hand on the throttles, his slender figure erect aud almost motionless, while his Ion? beard fluttered in the wind. He looked like a sturdy pilot at ' the helm, bringing his good hip into port Engineer Pago looks like a man worthy to be intrusted with such a cargo. Begrimed with dust and cin ders this morning, he seemed almost a part of the losoniottvc. which instantly ; obeved the pressure of his hand.

As Engineer Pago said this ho leaned out of the cab, and looked at his engine as kindly as a rider would look at his favorite horse. "Then 3-011 didn't limit the speed to forty-five miles an hour, as was origin ally intended?" he was asked. " Oh, no: that, you see, would have been only three-quarters of a mile to a minute. But a good deal of the way we made more than a mile a minute. ' " Did the doctors and the President know you were going at that rate?" "Thev didn't the first time I let her -o. Bui I'll tell you how I came to do ft. We la't Washington at G-'M this morning. Wc ran down to Patapsico. thirty-seven miles out, at the limited rate. There wc stopped three minutes. This stop, like all tho other stops on the way, was made to change crews, to water, and to allow tho physicians to attend on tho President. I saw one of the attendants -I guess it was Colonel Rockwell coming down the platform, and I called out to him, Colonel, how is tho President?' You sec, though I wasn't sure who he was I felt kind of safe in calling him Colonel." " 'He's doing finely. Page,' came back the answer. " 'Does ho feel the motion?' I asked. " Not at all,' he answered. Why. you're going as smooth as a carriage over an asphalt pavement' " "Was it then you began to think of running a little faster?" "Well, yes. But Bay View, our next stopping place, was only eight miles further, so 1 dln't try it until we started from Bay View for Pcrryville, seventy-eight miles out from Washing ton. There they sent me word that the President had been doing better aud better, so I thought I'd watch tho en gine and if she went smootldy try one mile a littlo faster. Lamoken, where wo were to have the next halt, was forty-six miles further on. The engine behaved beautifully; so, half-way be tween Bay View and Lamoken, I threw open the throttle and let her go one milo in fifty-three seconds. I did not feel a jolt or a jar as she went tearing down tho track, and I knew then that if tho President had a mind ho might get the sea breeze sooner. We stopped seven minutes at Lamoken. I called out to one of the attendants: Did you notice any extra motion when wc were going so fast?' " 'Why, no,' was the reply. 'Were we traveling faster thau forty-five miles an hour?' " ' Yes, sir,' says I, ' we went one riile in fifty-three seconds.' " Well,' said he, "J didn't notico it, and I'm suro the Prcsideut didn't I'll go and ask.' "Pretty soon I saw him coming down tho platform. ' Whip her up, Page, whip her tip,' he called out. 'The President didti't feel any extra motion. They were all delighted to hear that we could get along faster, and the President said: ' Tell him to go ahead. I want. to get there.' A short time ago, he said: I feel as though I were on the road to recovery.' "After that," the engineer contin ued, "I went pretty much at tho speed 1 thought best, according to my knowl edge of the road." 1 suppose, after this," said the re porter, "your engine will be tho most famous one on the road?" " Yes, sir; and sho ought to be. I guess she earned a National reputation to-day." "Did you havo many crowds waiting for you along the road?" "Yes. Peoplo wore massed in crowds at every station, and in tho fanning districts bosses and hands lined the fences." " Were there any demonstrations?" "No: every one along the road seem ed to feel that ours was a solemn jour ney. Thoy didn't even wave their hands or handkerchiefs. There were men, women and children among them, and many women gave way to their feelings and cried not aloud, but quietly. At one station a woman hold ing a baby was in the front rank.

The following extracts, in the Charleston (S. C.) Kews are taken from tho lettors of a Charleston lady who was on Tybeo Island during the recent great storm: "It stormed all Friday night and all day Saturday, and I hoped it would cease by night." Each hour I thought must be the height of the storm. So I packed up everything to be ready to move at a moment's notice, when, alas! I heard the steamer had ap proached Tybee and been beaten by the f urv of the waves, the wharf swept off, and thus we -were cut off from all human aid. About seven o'clock p. m. the cyclone reached us. Isawhuge live oaks and palmetto trees which had stood thetest of centuries torn up by the roots and whirled about like straws. Our house rocked and creaked like a boat at sea. I took Frank in my arms, Nina on one side and Maud on the other and went into a corner, the most remote from the direction of the wind. 3io words can describe my terror. The wind did not whistle or shriek as I have heard it, but it was a cannonading. I do not exaggerate when I say so. I looked ont on the roaring waters rising fast upon us, and into the life-seeking tempest, and wondered which-death would be the easiest for my children: to be crushed by the falling housed drowned by the sea or beaten down by the wind and flying trees and houses. We fell upon our knees, and begged God -to receive us all together. 1 wrapped up my babies, the two servant girls piefced up Nina and Frank, while 1 followed with Maud. We ran out into the kitchen, which., being low, I aw. v X.. ... .....u .... u.w.-j thought might escape. We reached ifcttiung I hardly expected, racked in. slammed the door. when, ray God! what a crash. The house was blown down, no two Loarda stick.ng together. A few moments of brcalhlc terror, the kitchen rocking in the name ad monishing manner, the window burst open, and the shriek from one of the servants: 'The Island is on tire" and the fearful, lurid gleam showed rnc too plainly that another clement was upon us. Just then a voice outside, 'Mrs. II , for God's sake, arc any of you alive?' gave me a raj' of hope. Come to the window.' I screamed, 'and take ray children,' and I paMd them out into strong arm. How am I ever to thank that man. Homaa. the htol keepcr. saw from his window my cot tage rock, and he and his two clerks ran to our rescue, but it was down be fore they reached it They called, and, upon receiving no answer, ho went fn to the tottering ruins at great risk to his life to took for our remains, felt in the bed, and then shouted, when wc heard and answered. He wanted us to go to his house, but the same directing Spirit which was saving us through these dangers made mo firmly refuse and insist uKn going to Bluus', a house I often remarked for its brick founda tion and chimneys, two strong point which no other "houo on the island possessed. So there wo started. The kitchen was blown over as ?oon as we left it ami wo were blown along amid burning spark, rain ami sand, which blinded us aud pricked like needles. The young man who had Maud mis took the way and ran into tho cot tage next to Mr. Bluns'. Finding their mistake they ran out, when that cottage was blown to the ground im mediately. We reached our destination, and found there was one room in their largo house not llooded. and thcro we joined the family and sat in mute terror. Oh, tho roaring and the rush ing and the crashing! The house .tot tered and threatened. About eleven o'clock a soun I reached my ear which my prophetic soul interpreted instantly a dull, steady roar under the house the land swell. The oceau had swept away tho sand-hills and was Honing under the house; tho foundation would be undermined aud the house bo swept away. I took my babes again and put wrappings on them, aud wo stood in instant readiness to- fly into the woods, where I knew of a small hill protected by huo live oaks. God spared us this ordea1,. for the tide, turned, the win I shifted and tho water receded. When tho lurious war sub sided every half hour or so some anxious man's face would be thrust in tho room, 'Are all saved here?' 'Have any been "lost?' etc. Aud how my heart nearly burst with gratitude when I took mv darlings in my arms and felt we woro all saved ! Of course the calm came after tho torm. " About twelve o'clock tho only sound boat left in the harbor of Savannah, a tug, succeeded in reaching Tybee. We got on the tug and reached Savannah, where I found the storm had raged also. Our house has the roof off, and everything llooded. It may be weeks ere we get it habitable. Thank God again, all is well with us." Jimnij's Prompt Obedience. I haven't been able towrito anything for some time. I don't mean that there has been anything tho matter with my fingers so that 1 couldn't hold a pen, but I haven't had the heart to write of my troubles. Besides, I havo been locked up fora whole week in the spare bedroom on bread and water, and just a little hash or something like that, ex cept when Sue used to smuggle in cake and piu and such things, and I haven't had any penanink.

Beforo I could write two littlo words my finger stopped bleeding, and 1 wasn't going to keep on pricking m sclf every few minutc3; besides, it won't do to use all your blood up that way.

Xho truth is, I got into trouble this time just through obeying promptly as soon as I was spoken to. I'd like to know if that was anything wrong. Oh, I'm not a bit sulky," and 1 am alwavs read to admit I've done wrong when I really have; but this time I tried to do my very best and obey my dear mother promptly, and the conse quence was that 1 was shut up for a week, besides other things too painful to mention. This world is a fleeting snow, as our minister saj's, and I some times feel that it isn't worth tho price of admission. Aunt Eliza is one of those women that always know everything, and know that "nobody else knows anything, particularly ns men. She was vis"ting us, and finding fault with everybody, and constantly saying that men were a nuisance in a house and why didn't mother make father mend chairs and whitewash the ceiling and what do you let that great lazy boy waste all his time for? There was a little spot in the roof where it leaked when it rained, and Aunt Eliza said to father: Why don't you have energy enough to get up on the roof and see where that leak is" I would if I was a man thank good ness I ain't" So father said: "You'd better do it yourself, Eliza." And she said: "I will this very day." So after breakfast Aunt Eliza asked me to show her. where the scuttle was. We always kept it open for fresh air. except when it rained, and she crawled up through it and got on the roof. Just then mother called me, and said it was going to rain, and I must close the scut tle. I began to tell herthat Aunt Eliza was on the roof, but she wouldn't listen, and said: "Do as I tell you this instant without an? words why can't you obey promptly?" So I obeyed as prompt as I could, and shut the scuttle and fastened it, and then went down stairs, and looked out to see the show er come up. It was a tremendous shower, and it struck us in about ten minutes; and didn't it pour! The wind blew, and it lightened and thundered every minute, and the street looked just like a river. I got tired of looking at it after a while, and sat down to read, and in about an hour, when it was beginning to rain a little easier, mother came where I was. and said: " I wonder where sister Eliza is do you know, Jimmy?" And I said I supposed she was on the roof, for I left her there when I fastened the scut tle just before it began to rain. Nothing was done to me until" after they had got two men to bring Aunt Eliza down and wring the water out of her, and the doctor had come, and she had been put to bed, and the house was quiet again. TJy that time father had come home, and when he heard what had happened But, there! it is over now, and let us say no more about it Aunt Eliza is as well, as ever, but no body has said a word to' me about prompt obedience since the thunder shower.

Finally he got up anil walked to the nearest gentleman whom he had observed ami said: "Look here, stranger, I'd like to know what you are staring at my wifo tor?' Your wifo! Allow me to congrat ulate you, my dear fellow. You have got the finest wife in the city,' said tho gentleman addressed. Tho fact is. I thought she was your sister. Excuse me if I was rude; "but if you don't want peoplo to look at your wife, you really must never take her out in public So ollcuse meant, sir.' "The bridegroom went back to his place, but he took good care at the next ineal to put his wife with her face to the wall." Which doj-ou think tako to the new conditions most gracefully ?" "Women by all odds. The men aro always betraying themselves. Thoy want to talk about it; they are full o"f tho subject Women are more artfuL and have more adaptability to new cir cumstances. But with all their arts, they can't deceive tho old hotel clerk, and it is very seldom that we don't turn in a few dollars extra to the house on account of our knowledge." "Another peculiarity of the newly married couples who go to hotel," con tinued the clerk, " is that many of them live in the city. They always como equipped for a long j'ourney" They have left tho wedding guests with tho announced intention of taking a long journey, conspicuously displa3ing, per haps, their railroad tickets, and have been driven by way of the depot to a first-class hotel previously selected. I knew of one case where a bridal couple, to avoid detection, actually boarded a train and started apparently on a jour ney, but took at the next station a train back to the city, and stopped at a hotel a few blocks from home. Then the wedding guests were permitted 10 stay at the feast as long as they pleased, without disturbing anybody." If. 1'. Sun. m m Doctors and Patients. Speculative knowledge is, of course, good it: itself, but the lino between speculation and practice cannot be drawn absolutely. A Pasha who had lost an eye ordered a glass one, and had it littcd in, showing transports of joy; but when after a month's trial he found he could not see with it, he had tho "chyrurgeon" bastinadoed and ban ished. Here there was a lack of "spec ulation" on the part of the Pa-ha. But the too well-known case of the In dian Prince and the seidlit. powders is doubtful. He first took the whole of the twelve blue powders dissolved in a punch bowl, and then not feeling much refreshed, took the twelve white ones also at one draught It is a nice ques tion whether speculation or practice was most wanted here, but it is certain that a portion of both is a good thing. It is notorious that the man who gives himself lo the study of pathological books is apt to fancy that he has alldis eases ac once or by turns, so much do "symptoms" resemble each other, or. in other words, so much is practico needed. The most experien-cd phjsi c an, when ill. goes to another physi cianthat is trite and the two experts may reasonably "argue" with each other. But the best thing the uniniti ated patient can do is to get a good doc tor, and then m nd him. There are illustrious examples in favor of thi3 principle. Mr. Gladstone, whose health and prospects of a vigorous old age were, in the spring of 1S74. mado the subject of a cheerful article in the ni ce, which gently rebuked him for talk ing of "my age." has more than justi fied the rebuke of his medical critic. He has shown not only staying power, but buoyancy. He has been betting ten to one, and praising the Burton ales as nectareous, if not nectar. He has been twice very seriously and once at least les3 seriously laid by. and has more than pulled through And we have all heard some of us with surprise, sensi ble people without any that he minds what the doctor siys, is a strictly obe dient patient. But there is obedience and obedience. Dickens treated un guaranteed prescriptions (of which he used to receive many hundreds) ranch as Lord Granville does, and he also minded his doctor. But there can 'be no doubt that he was a fractious pa tient, whose obedience was often but formal. London Spectator.

Tho Hojal Egjptlan Mummies. The finding at Thebes of thirty-nim. mummies of Egyptian royal and priest ly personages, which has been hailed in Europe as the greatest arch eo'ogical discover' since Sir Henry Laiarri s re searches at Nineveh, grows in impor tance. Two-thirds of the mummies arc now identified by means of the iiif-cnp-tions upon their ca;cs and the tnanu cripts found. They are. for the most part Kings and Queens, with then children, ranging through four riyna. ties, beginn ng with the seventeenth and ending with the t went -first, or, stating it roughly, from 2.000 to 1.70) U. C The mummy of the Pharaoh of Israel is among these, in a perfect stite of preservation, and the mtun ny of Thotmes III., in whoso rcgn the obe lisk that stands in Central Park was first erected. The imagination fainy falters in the attempt to rcahro that these figures have been brought back from the vast and shoreless ca of Eg) ptian antiquity to our own day, and our very doors." Lotus (lowers that look as if they "had been plucked a few months ago." arc found lying in the wrappings of "ngs who were ilcari centuries before the Pharaoh of Israel was born, and the passage of nearly 1.000 years has not dimmed tho beauty of the colors of the inscriptions and pcncilings, "which are as bright and fresh as if the artist had touched them but. yesterday." This is a wonderful prize for arch eological science, the full meaning of which s.-holars probably are just beginning to appreciate. .V. J Tribune. Golden Sea Sand. On the sea-coast round Cape Com merell. British Columbia, exist depos its of sand which, black in appearance on the surface, are found on examina tion after digging a few inches to be full of specks' of gold. A handful of the sand washed in a saucer disnlavs numerous sparkling grains, which are I pure gold, so fine in t'ny scales that they are popularly called " Coat gold." The existence of the gold has 1 ngbeen known, but the diulcalty has been to find a mans of sneces dully and eco nomically extracting it Several ma chines have been tried, but without success; and after several failures the experiments were abandoned and noth ing has been done for some years. A new venture is. however, about to be made with a machine invested bra ban Francisco company, which promises to be succcssfuL Tb'e machine consists of six drawers or layers of plates, cov ered with amalgam. Each plate has holes punched through it about a quar ter of an inch in diameter. The gold bearing sand is "damped in" on the top plate, the water being tnrsea on. The action on the water sets the sand in motion, and with the gold it passes through the holes. The sand falls from ilate to plate, leaving behind it the oose. free gold, which attaches itself to the amalgam; and by the time the sand has reached the sixth plate it is accompanied by very few grains of gold that have successively escaped at tachments to the amalgam on the pre vious five plates. The process is simple, but it is reported to be successful and to more than pay expenses.
