THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT.
How Were They Reared and How Waa
the Material Gathered?
The pyramids of Egypt, for long and
to this day included among the world’s
wonders, are to be regarded as marvel
ous triumphs of mechanical skill. Of
these there are many scattered over the
Nile valley, some of brick, socme of stone
and of varied height. The two largest
are in the neighborhood of Cairo. They
are and have been for thousands of
years the most colossal monuments in
the world.
The largest, that of Cheops, in its
original state is said to have been 800
feet high and the length of its base on
each side the same. It is built of huge
stones ranging from 2 to 4 feet in
height. Itis now rugged and has the
character as well as the appearance of a
four sided great stairway. The hollows
between the steps are believed to have
been filled in with white marble, which
would shine like snow under the bright
Egyptian sun. The pyramid is now
much reduced in height, not being more
than 509 feet. It is generally admitted
that the pyramids were built for tombs
and on wertain astronomical principles.
There is.an inner chamber ‘where the
sarcophagus was placed. 'When a mon
arch began to reign, he wommenced to
build his tomb. When he died, his body
was placed in the sacred chamber pre
pared for it, and the opening which led
to it was «closed. The pyramid was
then campleted. If the monarch’sreign
was lang, the pyramid was large. If
short, the pyramid was small.
How those great structures were
reared—how ‘the huge masses were
broughttogether and putin their places
—is a question which ‘has never been
satisfactorily answered. Of mechanical
forces some of the early peoples seem to
have had much more knowledge than
there is.any direct record of.—Chicago

AN OLD PRUSSIAN DISH.
«Beerfish” Is Alleged to Be Good When
It Is Served Steaming Hot.
There is a dish dear to every Prus
sian’s heart, which may be, however,
absolutely new in this country. All
Germans may not know it, as it is not
made in south Germany except in iso
lated cases. Beer is not its chief ingre
dient, but it plays an important part in
the makenp. .
The dish is known as beerfish, and
the Gierman carp, praised of epicures, is
herein treated in a manner worthy of
the fish. It must be made with half
beer, or, in the absence of this, with
weiss beer and porter. The fish is cut,
not in half, like a shad, but in sections
or squares. Three or four cuts across
the fish are all that is necessary. Of
course the fish must be cleaned.
A large glazed pot is used. A layer of
large onions is placed on the bottom of
the pot. On this are sprinkled various
spices; then a layer of a substance call
ed fish pfefferkuchen, which has more
or less fish substance in it and can be
procured at any German grocery or deli
catessen store; then a layer of sliced
lemon: thencarp. This isrepeated until
the pot is full.
A layer of onions is placed on top and
beer is poured into the whole mass until
all the interstices are filled. It is cook
ed for 20 minutes over a slow fire, mean
time adding a spoonful of vinegar and
another of sugar. Beerfish is delicicus
when it is cooked and served steaming
hot. But its good qualities do not end
here, for after it is cold it offers allure
ments which make it hard to decide
which way it tastes better, hot or cold.

" In the Best.
Kentuckians are always proud of
their state in whatever department of
homan labor they may hold. Not long
ago a widow went to see a marble cut
ter to get a tombstone for her late hus
band. She selected a plain one from his
stock and gave him an inscription to
put on it
«Can’t do that, ma’am,’’ he said po
litely when he had read it.
“Why not?’ she asked in surprise.
“I'm paying for it.”’
“Yes, but I can’t put that on. 1
stretch my conscience a good many times
in what I put on a tombstone, but I
ain’t going to tell a plain "lie when I
know it.”’
The widow was greatly shocked and
insisted on his explaining what he
meant.
““Well, ma’am,’”’ he said, ‘‘you’ve
got here ‘gone to a better land,’ and
that ain’t so, ma’am. There ain’t any
better land than Kentucky. " ——Detroit

Louis Philippe and Soult. ‘
Louis Philippe kuew that Marshal
Soult clung to power, and that his fall
would be bitter to him. But when the
time came the future ministers, with
Thiers at their head, were assembled at
the Tauileries, wkile in the next room_
Louis Philippe broke the news to Soult.
The interview took a long time, and the
pew ministers were not without some
apprehension. Finally the door was
opened just enough to allow the king’s
queer pear shaped head to pass, and he
whispered: “A little patience, gentle
men. Just a little patience—we are
weeping together.’’—San Francisco Ar-

BY PHILLIPS BROOKS. :
[The following poem, never before publish
ed, was found in one of Phillips Brooks’ early
notebooks, in which he jotted down thoughts
and memoranda.—Boston Transcript. ]
Along the noisy city ways
And in this rattling city car,
On this the dreariest of days,
Perplexed with business fret and jar,
When suddenly a young, sweet face
Looked on my petulance and pain
And lent it something of its grace
And charmed it Into peace again.
The day was just as bleak without,
My neighbors just as cold within,
And truth was just as full of doubt,
The world was just as full of sin.
But in the iight- of that young smile
The world grew pure, the heart grew
warm,
And sunshine gleamed a little while
Across the darkness of the storm.
I did not care to seek her name.
I only said “God bless thy life,
Thy sweet young grace be still the same,
Or happy maid or happy wife.”’
1858. —P. B.
GCRANDMOTHER.
fhe Does Not Keep Pace With the Ad
vance of Medical Science.
We all know just what adorable crea
tures all grandmothers are, and how
they cannot do enough for the little
ones belonging to their sons and daugh
ters. Now, without wishing to appear
ungrateful for these attentions, there
are some mothers who think themselves
quite capable of caring for their own
babies, and the continual and persistent
contrary opinion of grandma becomes
after a time vexatious rather than help
ful.
Even though grandma has brought up
a dozen children, and this is her daugh
ter’s very first experience in that line,
it is just as well not to give overliberal
doses of advice, nor is it good policy to
empty out the medicine the doctor pre
soribes for baby’s cough and substitute
sirup of squills, because sirup of squills
was all that the youngsters of another
generation were dosed with.
The latter medicine may be regarded
by grandma as the most perfect cough
remedy in existence, but the prescribed
drops or pellets may be quite as effect
ive, and it is but natural that the
young mother and the physician in
charge should feel a bit annoyed at the
assumption of superior knowledge, how
ever well founded it may be.
Babies need as varied treatment as
plants do.. What may have answered
splendidly for grandma’s dozen might
prove quite the reverse of beneficial for
‘the fin de siecle youngster, and even
though a baby is a novelty to the young
mother nature will be her best teacher
as to its’ wants and cares. Grandma
must remember that she had to be initi
ated in her superior baby training be
fore she could pose as an oracle, and
would she have been pleased to have
had her authority wrenched from her
by a wiser somebody who scorned her
methods and ridiculed her lack of wis
dom?
When the young mother asks for ad
vice, it is time enough togive it to her.
She is certain to do so and will appre
ciate most kindly the valuable hints the
more experienced mother can give her,
but her feelings will be quite the re
verse if advice is thrust upon her and
the care of her own precious baby taken
peremptorily out of her hands.—Louis
ville Post.
Ella Wheeler’s Little Joke.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox has among her
collection of photographs one which she
always hands to visitors to her pleasant
“‘flat’’ without any explanation. It is a
picture of a man with his back turned,
and so his face partially concealed, kiss
ing a woman who is evidently herself.
If the visitor does not make any com
ment, Mrs. Wilcox asks, ‘““Why don’t
you exclaim, ‘But who is the man?’
Most people do. It is my husband, of
course, but I like to surprise my ac
guaintances by uot telling them that at
first.”’ Any one who knows the ardent
affection existing between the poetess of
passion and Mr. Wilcox would not be
at all afraid that the kisser was not he,
so long as the kissee was his wife.—
