ELOQUENTLY SENTENCED. Jadge Wound Ip Illa Iligh-Falutiu Npeeeh with a Brilliant lilt. North Dakota's Col. Plummer was in St. Paul the other day telling stories. He tells one about a judge, says the i Pioneer Press, that was shaken from North Dakota to Mexico, and the people down there, who tired of conducting their own hangings, gave him a welcome and filled him up seven times a week. One night, after playing poker all nigh’ on the losing side of the table, he walked into the court with his hair pulling. He made up his mind to surprise the Mexico boys. There was a poor greaser to sentence for murder, and he let him have all he knew right and left for an hour, and . wound up by saying: “Hut hope is not for you. For you i the zephyrs will not suecessfuly combat the ice king; the prairie will not endue its carpet of glory, and the little brook i will never go singing and bounding on its way to the sea for the delectation of your soul; never again will the mountains assume their green crowns, and I blossom for you, Jose Marie Jararo, for-" He looked about him and saw the crowd in court was staring at him wildeyed; they had never heard him in that j strain before. Most of them thought he j bad gone mad. “This won't do,” he thought to himself. “These people will think I am ’ crazy. I'll let ’em down easy.” He fixed his eye again on the prisoner. •These things are not for you, I say; for, Jose Marie Jararo, you will not be in it. It is the sentence of this court that on next Friday you lie hanged by the neck until you're dead —cuss your Mexican hide!" There was a sigh of relief from the crowd. The judge had saved himself by a timely return to the vernacular. 1 And Col. Plummer's auditors were so i wrapt up in the story that they didn't hear the suggestion for an extra session. . A NEW RACE IN OLD EGYPT. Recent Discovery of Grave. — Bodie. Which Were Not Munoulfled. What is absolutelj’ novel to Egyptologists is a recent discovery made by • Mr. Quibell and Prof. Flinders Petrie of a new race inhabiting a large portion of the country, over an extent of one hundred miles, between Abydos and Negada. says Harper's Weekly. Over two thousand graves have been opened so far and the mortal remains found, with the various objects, open an entirely new field of research. Side by side with the graves of this new race are the well-known vestiges of Egyptian towns, with the pottery, heads, scarabs of the fourth, twelfth, eighteenth and nineteenth dynasties, "exactly," as Prof. Flinders Petrie writes, "like those found similarly dated in northern Egypt.” Here, however, is the strange anomaly. There is no object found in these graves which is like anything manufactured by the Egyptians. There is not a sign of a scarab nor has there been found on vase, amulet or bead the trace of a hieroglyphic character. All the pottery is made by hand and "the wheel was unknown." The bodies found in the grave were not mummified and the methods of burial bear no semblance to Egyptian customs. Mutilation of the dead was carried out, for in the same grave there are skulls separated from the rest of the bodies. One marked peculiarity is that the human bones are “broken open at the ends and scooped out." This treatment. Prof. Flinders Petrie says in the Academy, "certainly points to ceremonial anthropophagy.” From a study of the remains it seems to be positive that they belonged to a tall and powerful race, having a hooked nose, long, pointed beard and brown, wavy hair. There were no negro resemblances. Supposa'oly the people were allied to the Libyans and Amorites. MISTOOK THE OFFICE. Neeklng an Employment Ajeney, the Lady Stumbled Into a Matrl nony Shop. There is a funny story current in the English papers about a certain elderly Irish peeress well known in London society. She was in search of a new manservant and heard of a registry office in a certain square on the confines of Bloomsbury. Thither she I drove in much state, and on arriving at i the square in question her footman

asked a policeman where was the “agency." A man in blue majestically waved the equipage to a certain house. ; Her ladyship was admitted. “1 have come about a young man.” she remarked to the bland proprietor. "Yes, madam: 1 quite understand." was tlnreply. “He must Ik* sober and honest and used to good families.” “Oh, yes. madam: I think we have the very thing on our Imoks. Would you like to see ‘ his photograph?" “His photograph!" cried Lady . “I suppose the man's straight?" “Oh, yes, madam; a very fine man; a fortune is no object, I imagine?” This last with a movement of the hand toward the carriage with its pawing hones, that eould be seen through the window. "A fortune with my footman?" literally shouted the Irish lady. Then the proprietor explained that his was a matrimonial agency and that the registry office was on the other side of the square. Expensive Heals. There are on the Pribyloff islands, to the southeast of Alaska, probably from four to five million seals. Considering that each one of these will eat at least I , ten pounds of fish per day, the herd will consume six million tons of fish a year. As some naturalists claim that a seal will eat considerably more than ten pounds per day, this estimate is doubled by them. How expensive these seals are will be evident from the fact that the amount of fish consumed in England per year is less than six hundred thousand tons, which supply was valued at thirty million dollars. At this rating the seals of the northern Pacific get away with more than three hundred million dollars' worth of fish per year KITTEN MOUNTS AN OSTRICH. It Mistakes the Bird's Legs for Sapling* and Pays Dearly for Its Folly. The ostrich at the Philadelphia Zoological garden stood in the long yard adjoining its cage in the deerhouse the other day. It gazed contemplatively through the bars of the fence at the world beyond, and shivered once in awhile as the ctxtl breezes swept down upon it. A playful kitten came through the fence into the yard. The kitten went running along the yard until it came to the ostrich. Thinking its long, thick legs were young saplings, the playful kitten gave a run and quickly climbed up them, and-was soon ! on top of the ostrich's back. The huge bird did not know what to make of it at first, and went cantering around the yardjts though the plague were after it. Round and round it went until, red in the face, it came to a sudden stop. The kitten never moved. It had taken a firm hold of the ostrich's feathers, and did not propose to be shaken. Finding that the strange beast refused to be thus disposed of, the ostrich became less scared and more angry. It curled its neek and twisted its head so ns to get a fair look at the kitten. The kitten never winced. It began to think it had barked up the wrong tree, but it was determined to see the matter out. The ostrich aimed a blow at the rider, but the eat dodged. It tried again, but the result was the same. Again and again the agile head and long neck rained sledge-hammer blows nt the tricky little kitten. It escaped them all, i though some came rather too near for comfort. Finally the kitten got scared. ( It run out on the ostrich's neck to get out of the way. The ostrich could not hit it there. With a sudden movement, however, the ostrich stretched its neck backward, encircled the kitten around : the waist, and squeezed it until it was dead. Then it unwound itself and placidly looked at the dead animal. After a moment or two of contemplation it picked up its victim and flung it as far as it could. ;
