VIEWS OFROSEBERRY tin Grave English Political Affairs.

Edlnburg, Dec. 3. That the grave constitutional questions of woman suffrage -and Irish home rule, to be submitted to the people for a referendum vote, was the blunt proposition made by Lord Rosebery In a speech here today. "The liberals by the hurried dissolution of parliament thrust upon a reluctant country a single chamber governmental system," said be, "but you must remember that there is no Iron willed dictator to curb the power of parliament which would result from the abolition of the house of peers. The only restraint would have to come from physical force. I rejoice in the postponement of the crisis by submitting to the people. The questions of Iritth home rule and women's suffrage should be settled in the same way.

TOMBS OF THE PHARAOHS. The Precautions Taken to Guard Against Gray Robber. Tbe ingenuity displayed by the ancient Egyptians to prevent robbers from breaking Into the pbaraohlc graves" merits admiration from present day engineers, writes Dr. Ilolscber, chief architect In the Prussian government, in a work on the sarcophagus of Kbafra. tbe builder of tbe second Gizeh pyramid, who reigned In Egypt some 6.000 years ago. The lid of the red granite sarcophagus was dovetailed with minute precision Into the receptacle. To prevent the cover from being drawn back tbe Egyptian builders bored two holes In the lid at the edge, not showing above. These corresponded exactly with two similar boles, Jess deep than the other two. sunk in the front of tbe receptacle. Two copper bolts were then placed lu tbe lid holes, and at the moment tbe surcapbagus was folly closed

the boles met and tbe bolts dropped in position from the upper boles partly into the lower, thus making It impossible to move tbe lid. It must have' struck tbe Egyptian engineers thnt grave robbers might get nt tbe body by turning the sarcophagus upside down. In which case the bolts would glide back into their original position and permit tbe lid being drawn out. To prevent this they filled the lower holes with wax and made the bolts hot. Upon tbe lids being placed in position tbe bolts melted their way into the wax and upon cooling became so firmly fixed that nothing abort of complete destruction could open the royal tomb. . It must have been. ft her.cule.an labor

I knew enough to run out in tbe street and lie down In tbe gutter with my arms clasped around a hitching post. Tbe next moment tbe cyclone bit the town. Say. yon ought to have seen the house fly."
