A package of peas was once found in a fold of tho wrappings of an Egyp tian mummy, where it lmd lain undis turbed 11,000 years. Tho peas wore at onco Bonked in tepid water anil after wards planted. They soon germinated, grew finely, and produced a good crop. It will bo l vino inhered that at various times kernels of wheat hnvo been found in tho wrapping cloths of mummies, which, on being planted, have grown and nourished Ilnely. The above facts tench us a very in tersting lesson regarding tho Egyp tians of tho years fur, far hack; it is this: Their religion taught them to provide for tho continuance of tho fruits of the earth in remote times, so that tho blessings of 'God might ho made manifest to man as well through tho bounties of nature ns in the growtli of the spiril. And thus they nindo use of death for tho trans mission of tho germs of life to ages in tho iuculcukxblo future, for they know that tho reposo of the dead was sacred among tho pooplo of tho passing gen erations, and that oifty chance and natural changes and causes would ro- veal their good works—reproducing for others, perhaps at a time whon tho need would bo greatest, those life giv ing plants whoso benefits they' had enjoyed. . If the Egyptians honored tho dead with costly burials, they took care that life should have tho benefit of death in something more durable than monumuntul stone and the fulsome- nous of eulogy. How much nobler, how mdeh higher, the economic moral ity of this thun the later custom of placing marble memorials over or be side the doad, and inscribing upon thorn, not always tho true character of the occupant of the tomb, but a sup posititious ono which woulth could purchuso— perhaps a lie to tho genera tion thou passing onward, and only n description of that which should come after. Tho Egyptian priests tried their dead, in solomn court and and with an imposing ceremonial, and they gave honorable burial only to those who had boon honorable in their lives. Why may wo not bolievo that those dead in whose custody were left seeds for tho .reproduction of fruit in'after ages wore persons of peculiar sanctity of lives or distinguished by tho nbblost virtues? Wo muy venture to suppose that these things wore confided to their ghostly keeping so that the blessings of tho inheritance might bo magnified to us. Tho world is every day learning by sharply presented contrasts to respect more and more highly tho wisdom and ' religion of those mighty men of Egypt whoso histories they have so carefully handed down to us. Their monoliths and tablets, thus inscribed, now thou sands of years old, if loft whero they belong, under the burning heaven of tho oust, and enveloped by a pure, clear atmosphore, will ho fresh, com paratively, as though nowly hewn when our shafts and memories shall have crumbled into dust, our books become mildewed and worm eaten and tho memories of our honorable dead sbull bo perpetuated only in other and perhaps inaccurato histories.— James M. Otewart in Washington Pest. A Fish That Bulldx a Next. A Chinese fish constructs a nest, not of grass^or seaweed, hut of frothy se cretions. The male prepares bubbles in tho air by sucking them in and strengthening them with mucous mat ter from his mouth. Then he brings them into the'water, and expels them to construct a nest. The female enters this cavity, and lays her eggs there. The eggs sink to the bottom of the water, and the male is then obliged to raise them into tho nest. Ho appears to bo unable to carry them in his mouth, so ho swallows a largo supply of air, descends beneath the eggs, and violently expels the air accummulated. This air, finely divided by tho fringes of the gills, escapes in the form of two jets of gaseous powder, which envelop the eggs and raise them to'the surface. —Xouth’s Companion. Chicken* for Japan. Now England enjoys an export trade with Japan in cocks and hens. I learn that a Boston fancier, noted for the excellence of his Hamburgs, has sent several consignments of thorn to this fur away land, tho birds making the journey by way of California, and costing tho Japs about $10 apiece. Their beauty, it seems, is the quality which appeals to the Oriental imagina tion.—Boston Post. CoMtlj Naval Warfare. Tiic figures given for tho cost of us ing the great Ordnance led to a calcu lation that the Benlxjw, which carries two 110 ton guns and other smaller arms, womld in two ordinary engage ments use up guns and ammunition to the value of $650,000. A modern naval engagement on the sealo which more than-one nation is ready to en gage ip would cost many millions.- JESSE POMEROY’S PRISON LIFE. Studying Chemistry and Trying to Con struct a Self Sharpening 1‘cnoll. An intersting pamphlet on "Crimin als,'’ prepared by Dr. Charles D. Saw- in, for tlvo years physician at the Massachusetts state prison, contains authoritative statements concerning Jesse Pomeroy. Dr. Suwin says: “Tho public estimate of his char- actor, as revealed in the newspaper nc- countsof his notions in prison, is with out justification in fact. Tho expres sions, 'tho hoy (lend,’ ‘fiend incarnate,’ however applicable they may have been to a former state, arc unwarrant able at the present time. The various stories circulated about his‘torturing a cat,’ ‘cutting up mice and rats,’ are absolutely without foundation.” Dr. Suwin gives a summary of tho circumstances of Pomeroy’s conviction and of tho expert opinions given as to his sanity at his trial for tho murder of a boy 4 years and !1 months old, and then ndilss “Pomeroy entered the prison, his sentenco having been commuted to solitary imprisonment for life, Sept. 9, 1877, whon ho was 17 years old. Dur ing a portion of his term ho lias been permitted many privileges ami diver sions, snob as reading und painting. At ono time ho ovincod a strong dosiro to improvo his mind, and ho tsudiod French, German and Lutin. His knowledge of tho languages is, how- over, only a smattoring ono. Of late ho has taken a special liking to chem istry, and a slight spark of inventive genius Ims linen manifested in his en deavors to construct a hollow self sharpening loud ponoil, in which lie takes great prido. Ilis paintings are hardly worth admiring, but ho looks upon them as works of art, thin fact demonstrating to tho observor that his standard is not very high. “Without doubt bis intellect and moral sense must have improved to a certain degree, sinco lie ims not been associated witli other prisoners, and ho hasn't passed through uny stugo of ‘devolution.’ Ilis first punishment in prison was four and a half days in u durk ooll on Nov. S), 1877, for ‘trying to escape, digging cement out of ncoll,' On tho avorago he has rocoivod six and one-half days’ punishment each your, in most cases for tampering with his cell structure in attempting to escape. Ho on one occasion was punished for ‘insolence to an officer;’ onco ‘for re fusing to oboy an order,' and onco ‘for writing an insolent letter to tho war don.’ Not very serious offenses those. Ho lius never exhibited his former love to torture at uny time during his incur coration in prison, which seems rather straugo were ho insane ut tho time of the murder. lie is remarkably cun ning, clever and quick lo see tho drift of any conversation, logical and clear in understanding, but notubly self willed and persistent, His bodily health ims boon ronmrkubly good, eut- ing and sleeping well, seldom com plaining of iiis diet, and never uskiug for favors of extra rations. “In a recent interview he stated that ho thought his memory was very good in regard to some occurrences; as, for instance, his lifo in jail and his first four years in prison, but he hod no rec ollection of over meeting Dr. Folsom, and only an indistinct remembrance of his trial.” A Superb Ilutterfly. One duy, when off tho savage island of Maldita of the Solomon group, Mr. Woodford and others, under tho pro tection of sentries, went to bathe in a pool. While in the water he saw a huge butterfly coming slowly along tho beach, and, hurrying out as ho was, ho seized his net, dashed off, fell over stones, rose again, and just in time to cutch the fly. What a picture! “I leave "it to any ardent entomolo gist,” he says, “to imagine my feel ings.” IIo had “rediscovered the long lost Ornithoptera Victoroe," and why should he not feel like Alexander on tho Grunicus or Hannibal at Canute? These “bird winged” butterflies are some nine inchds across the wings. One is blue with a yellow body, an other is velvety black and metallic green. They excel in size, but other kinds wear equally magnificent rai ment, mid make tho glorious forest beautiful. -Spectator. Cloudx and Their Height*. For practical pu rposcs clouds are di vided into foui' classes—cumulus, stratus, cirrus und nimbus. Meteorolo gists, however, recognize many differ ences of form in eacli class. Arnbsr- crornbie gives these ten principal vari eties, with their mean height in sum mer at Unsala, Sweden: Cirrus (pure wispy cloud), 27,000 feet; cirro-stratus (thin, high, wispy or straited sheet cloud of all sorts), 27,000 feet; cirro- cumulus (fieccy cloud at high level), 20,000 feet;* strato-cirrus (a similar cloud to the cirro-stratus, but at a low level), 12,000 feet; strato cumulus (extended lumpy cloud), 0,000 feet; cumulus (pure rocky cloud), 4,000 feet at base; cumulo-nimbus (rocky rain cloud), 4,000 feet at base; nimbus (low rain cloud), 4,500 feet; stratus (pure sheet cloud), 1,900 feet.—Now York Telegram.

In tho Postoifice Central Savings hank, in London, it lias been found af ter two years’ experienoo of electric lighting thut the averugo amount of illness has boen diminished by about two da#J i>er year for eacli person on the staff. This 1b equivalent to a gain to tho service of tho time of about eighi clerks in that department alone. Tak ing tho oost at the “overtime" rate only, this would moan a suving in sal aries of £640 a year. Tho cost of tbe installation of the electric light wax £2,049, and tho annual cost of working £700 per annum, suy a total annual cost of £1,034. The cost of. gas con sumed for lighting purposes was £700 a year, so thut on the whole there was u direct saving of somothing like £26(> a year to tho government, besides the material udvuntuge of the better work of tiie resulting from the im proved atmospheric conditions under which their work is done.—Now York Tologram. A Warning to Coquette*. A lady in tho reign of Charlos I, in somo fit of cuprico, behaved so toward a suitor whom in her hoart she loved that, believing himself utterly dis curded, ho joined tho king’s army, und wus killed nt tho battlo of Newbury. In obodienco to her father, she after Ward married un ofllcor in tho army; but on the marriage duy, feeling too surely that her heart was broken, she wrote a letter expressing that con vie tion, und relating the causes, and re questing that she might be buried near her first and only love. These words were written on the envelope, beneath a black seal: When I um dead and oold Then let tbe truth he told. According to her own present! ments, she died, and on her death bed pointed to tbe cabinet where the pa per would be found in which tbe cause of her secret grief was disclosed. —Now York Ledger.
