The Fireplace.
Before cleaning out a fireplace sprinkle
a good handful of tea leaves among the
ashes. This makes the ashes lift more
easily and prevents the dast from fly
ing about the room.
Hint to the r«n»r.
If the meats are carved on the table
the carver, as nearly as possible, gives '
each what Is preferred, bestowing the k
special consideration on the wife and r
mother.
Play Only in Daytime.
Organ grinders in Vienna are for
bidden to play in the morning or even- i
ing. Between mid-day and sunset is
the time set apart for them.
Salty yea.
The extreme saltiness of the Adriatic >
sea is accounted for by the comparative- '■
]y small quantity of fresh water poured
Into it by rivers.
Disadvantage of Levee*.
Eminent engineers assert that levees
raise the bed of a stream and are so j
impracticable as a permanent mastery
of watercourses.
Beet*.
If the skin of a beet has broken, sear 1
It with a red-hot iron before cooking.
This will keep the juices within it.

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN JEWELS.
reasore Recently Unearthed in the
Tomb of King Zcr Shown S'ouie
Marvelous Workmauahip.
Some of the most remarkable Egyp
an jewelry ever discovered has re
rntly been unearthed. The date as
gned Is as remote as 5000 B. C., but
le workmanship in gold and jewels
> marvelous. In exploring the tomb
r King Zer it was found that the
>mb bad been entered for robbery
t some remote period and that the
lunderers had broken off the arm of
le mummy quietly and hidden it in
crevice in the wall—perhaps on be
lg discovered or alarmed—and had
ever returned to remove it, says the
ew York Herald.
On taking off the wrappings Prof,
etrie found four magnificent brace
its of gold, with amethyst, turquoise
nd lapis lazuli in varied and elegant
djustments. The gold work was
ecullarly fine and delicate, though
le metal was soft and pure, appar
Qtly with no hardening alloy. The
tones were beautiful and very strik
lgly and peculiarly arranged.
A number of amethyst beads of the
ichest and deepest purple, about a
uarter of an inch in diameter, are m
le possession of Mr. Edward Ayer,
f Chicago. He obtained them from
lashone, Egypt, they being from the
-easures in the tomb of Princess

A NEW JERSEY SOLOMON.
>watlce of the Peace Renders De
cision Not Unlike That of the
Famous Bible Character.
Magistrate Jermon once spent a sum
ier in a little town In South Jersey and
lade the acquaintance of a justice of the
eace who held more offices than Pooh
ah himself. “He was.” says Jermon,
ccording to the Philadelphia Press, "a
otary public, a storekeeper, supeYin
mdent of the Sunday school, a lay
reacher, postmaster, coroner, h farmer
nd a few more things that I can’t recall
ow. He was a shrewd old fellow, as a
scision in a case that I heard will go to
how. Two farmers had a dispute about
he ownership of some poultry, and each
leaded his own case. Each side had an
qual number of witnesses and there was
»me tall swearing done all around. If
had been sitting cn the case I should
ave given It up as a bad Job, or sent it
3 court for trial. But that's ju6t what
e didn’t do.
“I forgot to state that in addition to all
is other functions he was his own con
table. Tbe hens were In court in a
oop and he ordered that the constable
hould take the coop to the roadway op
oslte the farms of the litigants and turn
lie creatures loose. And he did the job
imself and got his fee for doing It. The
ens settled the case themselves by go
ig directly to one of the farms, and the
ustlce declared that they knew their
ray homa, and gav“ judgment accord*
