Tramps and impostors have been | turned away in their efforts to secure that | charity which was provided for meritorious cases. The army of cranks is represented to have decreased to thirteen in the number of | calls for assietance, which in a measure may be | ascribed to quiet in the political world. ‘Trans- | portation was furnished to 665, persons, or forty- |tmree more than for the year precedin, if | this number 126, or about one-fifth, were ex- soldiers and sailor who came here under the [delusion that their presence would secure pfompt granting of their pension claims.

Were not the small appropriation carefully husbanded would be easier to secure u pension than polic transvortation. ‘The various hospitals admitted through the | agency of this office 2,577 persons, 5 less than during the year 1891, when the grip was | demic, which establishes the fact that the sick | list is annually added to.

Sore Head and Stomachache. From the Gentleman's Magazine. The Meydoum pyramid stands in the burying ground of oldest Egypt, and there, day by day, are conducted most careful explorations under the management of Mr. Flinders Petrie. ‘Thus does the tomb yield up its secrets, but these are not more interesting than the fact demonstrated throughout these operations that even the idle temperament of Egyptian workmen is more powerfully influenced by love than fear. At Luxor a swearing bully of an overseer hustled the children with their palm baskets of mold from pit to bank, lashing them mercilessly at times and flicking his elephant-hide whip for pure cruelty to the half-naked bodies of the pogr little boys and girls, who, in the name of Science, were working like slaves through heat and dust to bring back the colossi of Rameses the Great or the temple of his father, Soti, from the graves of centuries, It was a aight to make one’s blood boil to sce the lash curl with a crack around the leg of a lad or the naked ankle of 4 girl, as they toiled up a steep bagk with a heavy basket on the head. Some- times it would bring the poor creatures to their knees, but when I remonstrated I was told: “It matters not! No whip, no work.” Now Mr. Petrie gets twice as much work out of his men and as does thix bully at Luxor, and yet his intercourse with them is uniformly gentle and serene. It was refresh- ing to sit there in the shadow of those vast mounds, at the building of which the land had groaned and the lash had been busy, and to see how men today labored with the same too dressed in the same way, had much the sam simple wants to satiafy, and the same homes to return to at eventide. A light was in their faces, and a smile on their lips, for they toiled for honest bread at honest prices, and their master wasa friend. ‘That evening I heard a boy's voice and saw a boy's hand thrust through the tent where we eat. Mr. Petrie cut a piece | of soap in two and gave the lad half, saying quietly: “I find theres nothing like soap for sore heads. Soon another voice piped in the darkness, and the same knife now dived into pot of ointment, and spread wome carefully on ® bruised face. Presently. with a low salaam, a dusky man with an ache inhi« dusky stomach, ap- plied for cure. The paraftine lamp was kindled, acup of coffee was made and w spoonful of pper stirred therein. ‘The poor fellow #wal- lowed it with a gurgle and turned to go. “May God increase your goods exceedingly” were the words of thanks, and the grateful ones went back to their reed huts, ethir burnooses and sandy beds for the night. — —— A Poor Reward for a Traitor. Pleasant stories of Napoleon Iare exceed- ingly scarce, but here is one: The French Col. Varennes bad written several confidential let- ters to a pretended friend, in which he cen- sured Napoleon about some military actions. The pretended friend, expecting a good reward by promotion or otherwise, sent the letter to the emperor. Varennes was summoned before bim. leon thowed him what he had re- ceived and asked: “Are you not ashamed of these letters?” Varennes did not lose his self-command. “No, sire,” be replied, “but I am ashamed of the address from which the letters last came.” Napoleon's manner brightened, He sai ‘ou are rigut. Your communications to your pretended friend were confidential, but be has played Judas on you. But if in the future you want to subject my orders to criticism you ought to send your opinion to a better addres that is to say, to myvelf, and I_hereby appoint you a member of my council of war.” ‘The pretended friend was transferred tba subordinate position far away on the frontier of the empire. —<-oe—___ How Sponges Are Gathered, Kirle Munroe in Scribner.

The goddess worshiped at this temple was a Chinese young lady who lived a hundred years ago. She was born in the province of Fokien and was the daughter of a merchant of the Lum clan. In her girlhood she is said to have dis] ed remarkable intelligence and was, above all, renowned for her prophetic insight. Her father and four brothers frequently lett their home on trading voyages up and down the coast. One day while two of her brothers were at sea she fell into s trance.
