Egyptian Hook of The Dead.
The Egyptian “Book of the Bead”
or funeral ritual contains probably the
oldest existing record of the fnith of
man in the immortality of tho soul.
Its chapters are found inscribed on
mummy Cll or written on rolls of
papyrus within them, The book re
counts the suppo d experience of the
soul after death, its ] sage across the
land of darkness in the blessed fields,
to i final judgment and admission
i nt the presence of its Father in
“/ ternal dwelling place of the
cleansed spirit.” The following pas¬
sage from one of tb o mummy cases
recently exhumed shows its express
declaration of a future life. “The
jsir >ulj lives after death. Every
god rejoices with life. Tho osiris re
jo, as tho gods rejoice.” It is sup
ed the “Book of the Dead” origin¬
ated with Egyptians between 2,000
and 3,000 years before Christ. A
mummy case from tho great pyramid,
inscribed 1,700 yea before the time
of Jesus, has the following inscription;
'• Cod, tho protector of him who
cries to thee, lie is thine, Let him
have no harm. Let him be as one of
thy flying servants. Thou art lie: ho
is tin u. Make it well for him in the
land of spirits. Home Magazine.

„f two
days ago. One of the passers was a
cmn Bobley reporter, the other was Mr. J.
posits Dunglisoh, Registrar of De
in the Philadelphia Mint, who
probably know, more about them
seen supply of gold than any other
man in this country. The “unseen
gold supply” is a term the mint neo
ple use to describe the tons of gold
and silver that lie in the half-forgot
ti n boxes in bureau drawers—old gold
pencils, old wntcli cases, neglected
pocket pieces, broken chains, specta
cir iitn-, and a thousand other bits of
metal that have intrinsic value. Most
of these things are sure to find their
way to tlfe mint sooner or later, and
wh.n they do it is Mr. Dunglison who
mfu;oH an entry of their weight in the
mmtsb.g books
i . >cr<. feeders, Mr.
is oik > our
ntingiison ii paid, as ho read the sign,
You would l>c surprised to know how
much of tho gold and silver that wo
turn out in coin comes to us through
such places. There are thousands of
buyers of old bullion in this city, and
t'dis ol thousands of them throughout
the country. In the aggregate they
send us a ,/reat many tons of bullion
every year, and so put a great deal of
money into circulation that would
otherwise lie idle.
“i’here is no piece of gold or silver
so largo or so small,” ho continued,
“that; the dealers will not buy it. Bo
you know that gold filling out of ex¬
tracted teeth make a considerable item
in the mint’s gold? They do. When
a dentist oxtracts a tooth lie is sure to
extract also any gold that may be in
it, and these tiny bits after a while
make a little boxful, which is sold to
a dealer. Tho idea seoms unpleasant,
but it is not, when you know how
thoroughly all bullion is refined and
cleansed in the mint beforo it is
coinod.
< l You will find that all these dealers
would a littlo rather buy old silver
than old gold, because there is more
profit in it. The price of silver fluctu¬
ates so much that they cau always buy
it for considerably less than its real
value; but tho price of gold never
varies. An ounce of gold is worth
$20.67 always, in all civilized coun¬
tries ; and this is so well understood
that the dealer must pay pretty near¬
ly that much for it. lio generally in¬
creases his profit a little by paying in
goods instoad of in cash. The dealer
must be able to do a littlo crude as¬
saying himself, or ho is likely to make
mistakes. Gold jowelry, for iustanco,
is rarely made of pure gold. Our
mint standard for pure bullion is 1000,
and wo rarely get a watch case or a
ring or a chain that assays more thau
500, showing that it is half gold or
silver and half alloy. You think you
are carrying a gold watch, but the
chances aro ninety-nine in a hundred
that the cases are half copper. The
cases will reach the mint somo day,
almost to a certainty, and then the
copper will come out.
“The flow of old jewelry to the mint
is almost as certain and steady as the
flow of water down an incline. Tho
old trinket is broken and useless, and
you lay it away. Perhaps it is an heir¬
loom, or for some other roason you are
pH,ached to it, and you would not
tlank of selling it. But a rainy day
may come, and you aro glad to sell it.
In any ease, you are sure to dio some
time, and your heirs will not care for
the chain ; then we get it and turn it
into dollars or eagles.
“We do not buy bullion in small
quantities at the mint—nothing less
than $100 worth of gold or silver at a
time, and then we do not pay for it
until it has been assayed. If you
briug us $100 worth of metal that you
suppose to be gold, wo weigh it and
give you a receipt for it, and three
days later you cau call and receive
the money for whatever gold wo find
in it. No matter if tho lot only con¬
tains a dollar’s worth of gold, we will
receipt for the weight and extract the
gold for you and pay you for it. But
you lose all the base metal, because in
the refining everything but the gold
ami silver is destroyed. That is, it is
practically destroyed, because our
work is with gold and silver only, and
we do not make any effort to save the
base metals. It could easily be done,
but it would not pay ior the time and
trouble. We could separate not ouly
the gold and silver, but the copper
also, and the lead and whatever else
is present.
“\\ hen you take a quantity of old
gold to tho mint to sell, yonr metal is
not mixed with any other metal. Each
lot is kept separate until it has been
assayed. Your gold is put into an ‘rot
box with two locks, and when its turn
comes the box is taken to the melting
room, where it is opened by two men,
each of whom has a key to one of the
locks. The metal is put into a cruci¬
ble, with a little borax to prevent its
sticking. The crucible is put into a
furnace, aud when the metal is melted
it is moulded into a bar. That
contains all the metal iu your lot,
whether it be gold or brass, and it
the assayer’s busiuess to find out how
much gold it contains. While it is in
the crucible it is stirred constantly
and thoroughly, so that all its metals
may be distributed equally
out the bar.
“When the bar is returned to
weighing room the assayer chips
it a tiny piece that must weigh
half a gramme, or 7.7 grains troy.

The Terrible Experience of a Well Known

I,and.
From the Chattanooga, Tenn., Press.
No county official In East Tennessee Is
better known and more highly esteemed than
Mr. J. C. Wilson, Circuit Court Clerk of
Rhea County, at Dayton, the home of Mr.
Wilson. He enjoys the confidence and re~
speot of all classes, and in tho business com¬
munity his word is as good as his bond. Just
now Mr. Wilson is receiving heartiest con¬
gratulations from his numerous friends be¬
cause of the restoration to robust health of
his estimable wife, who has for years been a
helpless invalid. Mrs. Wilson's high stand¬
ing in society, and her many lovable traits
of character have won her a host of friends,
and her wonderful recovery has attracted
widespread attention.
As the Press was the medium of bringing
to the invalid lady’s attention tho remedy
that has effected her remarkable cure, a re¬
porter was sent to Dayton to interview Mrs.
Wilson, in order that the general public
might have the benefit of the sufferer’s ex¬
perience and be made aware of the treatment
that wrought such a marvelous change in
her condition. The reporter was welcomed
at the Wilson home, and the enthusiastic
lady with becoming reluctance gave the his¬
tory of her affliction and the manner in
which she was relieved :
“Yes,” said Mrs. Wilson, “I was for 8
years an invalid with one of tho most dis
tressing afflictions woman can suffer. For 8
years I moped around, dragging myself with
difficulty and pain out of bed. My little
ones went untrained and were greatly neg¬

word for the feeling caused by that dreadful
sensation of weakness and helplessness I
constantly experienced.
* “I was treated for my trouble by several
local physicians, but they were able to give
me only temporary relief by the use of seda¬
tives and narcotics. I had almost given up
when all hope of ever securing permanent relief
I saw an account in the Press of a cure
which Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had effected.
I decided to try them, as I knew the lady
who had been cured and had great confi¬
dence in her statement. I began to take
the pills in October, 1893, and in two months
I was doing light housework and attending
to the children without any bad effects or
weakness, such as I had formerly experi¬
enced. Hitherto, I had been unable to re¬
tain any food, but now my appetite grew
stronger, and with it came back that old,
healthy and hearty tone of the stomach. Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills cured me, and I assure
you the cure has brought a great change in
our home. I can now rejoice in my hus¬
band’s success, for I feel that I have some¬
thing to live for. W*ho has a better right
to feel this than a mother? One thing more.
I have recommended these pills to others,
and many of the women of Dayton have
taken them with good results, and it is my
greatest pleasure to recommend to every
suffering woman a remedy that has done so
Auch for me.”
An analysis proves that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People contain in a con¬
densed form all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are an un¬
failing specific for such diseases as locomo¬
tor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, effects rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after of la grippe, pal¬
pitation ot the heart, palo and sallow com
plexions, that tired feeling resulting from
nervous prostration ; all diseases resulting
from vitiated humors in the blood, such as
scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to fe¬
males, sueh as suppressions, irregularities,
and all forms of weakness. In men they
effect a radical cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork, or excesses of
whatever nature.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
are now manufactured by the Dr. Williams’
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.,
and are sold in boxes (never in loose form
by the dozen or hundred, and the public
are cautioned against numerous imitations
sold in this shape) at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all
gists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’
Medieiae Company.
An Aluminum Violin.
Br. Alfred Springer, of Cincinnati,
has introduced an aluminum violin,
which produces an enormous
of tone, fully five times that of an or
dinary wooden instrument. There is
a varietv of opinions as to the quality
of the tone. Some musicians
that the quality is not as good as
wooden one for solo work, but that it
would prove good in orchestra work,
Others take the opposite side on
question entirely,

Dust Indespensahle.
Ordinarily regarded dust is a nuis
ance, yet it plays a most important
part in our very existence. In fact,
dust gives color to not only the atmos¬
phere, but to everything we behold.
Ihe sky is blue, the mountain green,
the ripening fields of corn yellow, the
evening sunset red, the clouds purple,
all through dust. Our soft, uniformly
diffused daylight is due entirely to
dust. In truth, our days would be
darker than moonless nights but for
dust. The fineness of the particles of
atmospheric dust determines the color
we see. These dust particles inter¬
cept and diffuse the light, Some
of these atoms are large
enough to reflect the blue
ether waves, fewer of them oapable of
reflecting green and yellow, and still
fewer large enough to influence tho
red ethereal waves, hence blue is the
prevailing atmospheric color, The
deep blue of the sky in Italy and tho
tropics is solely from the fact that at¬
mospheric dust is finer there.
Rainfall is produced by dust. Every
particle of moisture evaporated by
the sun condenses upon a particle of
dust as a nucleus, and hence precipita¬
tion in rain. We could have no snow,
no clouds, no fogs, no color without
dust. In winter everything would bo
covered with a cruet of ice. Iu short,
without this usually considered nuis¬
ance, dust, life would not be worth
living, even if living were possible.—
Exchange.
Mildewed Clothes.
Clothes that are sprinkled overnight
in sultry weather are quite apt to mil¬
dew before morning. Rub them with
buttermilk and lay them in the sun,
and the mildew, unless very bad, will
disappear. Another remedy is salt
and vinegar. It may be well to state
that badly mildewed clothes can never
be made white.

Coulil Only See at Night.
There is a case recorded near Lyons
in 1867 of a girl who not only was un¬
able to see in the daytime, but had to
be kept in a dark room, so painful was
the light to her eyes. She was taken
out for exercise every night and dis¬
played a power of vision that was al¬
most telescopic. She was able to dis¬
tinguish moving figures on a road,
when persons beside her with good
sight could see nothing but the black¬
ness of night. The ignorant French
peasantry thought the child bewitched
and an attempt was made to poison
her. The parents became alarmed and
lied to Paris, taking the girl with
them. She was taken to a hospital,
where she came into the notice of Br.
Paille, the famous occnlist, and ho
paid the parents for the privilege of
lecturing on the phenomenon. Tho
girl eventually died insane, but re¬
tained her power of seeing at night in
the dark until the last moment .—New
