W.' Harkness has read a paper before the California Academy of Sci enees on the recent discovery of foot prints in the sandstone of the yard of the Nevada State Prison. In the course of this paper he said: " We find in the lowest strata, ex posed by the workmen, numerous fresh water shells, which are those of a nius sel, of the genus ' Anodonta.' At an elevation of thirteen feet above these is found another strata in which, in addi tion to the shells of Anodonta, we find a species of Physa. 'Thuis discovnry is of additional interest from the fiet that Clarence Kino- reports that lie found no fresh-water siells In the region except ing those of Planorbis. It should be mentioned that the floor or area of the yard we are now studying bears evi dence of having been slirtly tilted at a period subsequent to its deposition. It also gives evidence of havino been at one time the shore of somolake, or, perhaps, pond, local and isolated as its level was above that of Lake Lahontah. Presumably we stand on the shore of this ancient )ond or lake, and as we look about us we see tihe footprints of a veariety of animals, among which we recognize those of the muamnoth, the deer, the wolf, those of many birds, ap parently those of a horse, and, most im portant of all, what seems to )e the im prints of the sandaled foot of man. "Tkere are six series of the tracks of man. Each of these series is represent ed by a number of footprints (from eight to seventeen) in rerular order, and each showing more or fess plainly the im print of a sandal. Besid 1 es tilys, in one of the series there is a marked difller ence in the forxm of the sandal. The first of these series which we examuinued is to be seen emergincr, as it were, from the southern s'do of tlle vard, and whuer-e the cliff is fifteen feet,~in heinht above the tracks. Tis set les consists of twelve tracks, to wvhich number four were sub~seq uently adldedi by tunnelingr into the roe -. These tracks were evi dlently madle in a layer of sedinimnt of perhaps twvo inches in dlepth, for bmelow this layer we findI the comnpact sandl stone. In each instance the mud had been raised by the p~ressure of the foot into a ridgc which entirely surroundI~ed it. This mud1 is only partiallyso lidified, and is still ilakey andi easily ~broken ou'i exposure. Each of the imprints furnish es us with evidence, as we believe, that the feet of the one making the tracks were protected by sandals. "In no single impression, p~erhap~s, do we find conclusive evidence of this fact, but whien we stmdy them as a whole we tindl that that wvhich is want ing in one is furnished by others which follow. In nearly all the toe portion of the sandal is well shown, it being aus smooth as the work of a mason for the distance of twvo or three inches. Back wvardl from thme toe we generally find thme impression of the outer portion of the sandal. When stuied as a whole wye can dletermine with a good deal of ex act ness the actual length andi hbreadth of the sandal, which we tindt to be nine teen inches in length, eight inches at the bail of the foot, while the heel i~s six inches in breadth. In its outline it follows clearly the shape of thle humani foot. From the great toe outward there is a really graceful Curive, wvhieb draws in towardi the heel; while from the great toe mnward the line is drawvn toward the instep, and thence in an onward curve to the heel. In one series this curve is deeper, showing a slightly di ff'eren t form of sandal. The average length of the stride is twvo feet three inches. Thme distance between the feet or the strad dle is eighteen inches. "It seems verv imiiortant to know if there were more footprints of the same~ series still running on io andi und~er this rock face. To determine this fact Mr. Garrard, who wvas anxious to assist usi in every way p)ossible, immediately commencedl a tunmnel upion1 the line of the prints of the same series, if such ex lsted. In this effort he wvas completely successful, bringing to view four other footprints, three of which were more perfect than those which had been pre viously exl)osedI. One of lie four, ewing to a fault of the roek, was tooi obscure to be of value. Of this series~ we securedl twvelve more or less perfect casts in plaster. " One marked feature is that in all of these tracks the toes turn wvell out,.. wardl, which is not as a rule the habit of the North American Indianm. Witl.ma a few p aces of the print~s we have de scribed is to be found anoth'er series of tracks made by an indlivdual who wvas walking in deeper mud, wvhich clung to and closed ini upon thme foot. Seven or eight such aros to be seen in re;.umlar order, and then the track, like the one prm ously' described, is lost in t he ledtge towardi which the steps arc tendling. Three of these are somiewhat smaller than the one desceribed, while one has at sandal more cur'vedl than that of his fel lows. These are lost in the ledge, where they may be followed b~y future explorations. TIhese printsappear to be upon a floor a few inces lower than the one first describedl. "Returning now to our first described tracks, we find at a distance of ten or twelve paces other tracrks, which we suppose to have been made by a main moth.. They are in regular order and eight in number, with an average stride; of four feet four and a half inches. The! foot is twenty -one inches in dijameter. They were found imprinted on what is now pretty compact sand-stone. We find no distinct traces of toes, but only a general outline of the foot.1 " Besides the above- described tracks there were tracks of some wading birdis, 1 as before mnentionedi. These did not 1 seem to differ much in form and size from those of the same order now living. Several quite distinct tracks of deer are 1 also to be seen. Others, again, were found which in size and length of stride'I much resemble those of a wolf. At one point these trac'ks may be traced for a distane of twenty feet, where they also are lost im the ledge. There are also a few poorly-defined imprints of what we believe to be a horse, Near the western ~ ~ two objeoton .thus fsar raisd against the os m that the imprints first de scribed were those of man. First, that the colossal size of the sandal will be likely to cause doubts in the minds of many. Secondly, that the space be tween the feet, or, as It Is called, the straddle, is so marked as to create a suspicion that they wore those of an an imal other than of man. " To the first objection we reply that for the protection of his foot the primi tive man would naturally select the sandal. In fashioning this snudal of wood, it is reasonable to suppose that with his gouge of obsidian he would cut out a hollow to correspond to the size of his foot, leaving a raised bordor which might serve as a protection to the side of his foot, as well as to the heel anud toe. Its raised border would also be of great service in securing the thongs by which the sandal was attached to the foot. Some such plan must, we think, have been adopto for seeurineot the san dal, as we find no indication of iole.i inl the bottom of the sandal through which thongs might be passed to fasten it to the feet. "Taking this view of the case, it seems to be apparent that to protect a foot of twelve or thirteen inches ho would be likely to fashion a sandal of nearly if not quite thte proportions of the one shown by the impression. "While it must be admitted that the print of the sandalled foot is unistilly large, much larger, in fact, than the hide sandals worn by the Mexican in .dians or the straw sandals of the Jap anese, yet the stride is but that of tlie average man of five feet ten inches in height."_ Ancient and Modern Egypt. The ancient Egypt was reckoned in its bet (lays to contain a population of 15,000,000, and it was the richest and most prosperous monarchy in the world before Rome caie to the front. 'Its cities rivaled Babylon and Ninevoh in their days, and when Amiru took Alexandria it contained over 600,000 inhabitants and the grandest library collection in the world. Tlie modern Egypt, though possessinir ione of the ancient-grand eur, is stNi a country far from despica ble in resources and population. Egypt proper, from the cascattes of the Nile to lie sea, contains about 6,000 square miles of cultivable and irrigable land in the Nile valley, and a population of 6,500,000. This is less than th area of Mhassachusetts, and not much above the population of the State of New York. But -the productive quality of the land is such that it might serve to support 20,000,000. The annual ex ports to Great Britain alone ten years algo( anmounuted to $82,250,000, while the imports froim Great Britain to Egypt were but $36,000,000, showing a heavy balance of trade in favor of Egypt. Since the openilg of the Suez Canal, Egyptian exports to England have de elined to less t han $40,000,000, and thle imiports to less than $12,000,000. The valley of the lower Nile is not all of Egypt, though it is all that is vital. Thle lKhedive rules over a region on the upper Nile covering an area of 1,500,000 sqar miles, and emibracing a blarbarouls p~opulationl of 16,000,000. This5 has been aucquired by conquest since 1873, and inicluides Nuia and D~arfur. Nuibia is hat country which the ancients call EtAhiiopiai. 'These conquests may b~e miade valuable .by the construction of railways, but that will require European capital.

The condi ion of this promotion was that the Khcdive should1( pay an annual tribute af $3,000,000 to the Sultan, the former tribute being but $1,800,000. This, of course, is a heavy tax on the peo!)le, Phe allowance for the support of ^the Khedive, or King, is $750,000, and for uis relatives $660, 000. But the late Khedive, Ismail, contracted private Icebts amounting to more than $40,000, J00 and otherwise so wasted1 the sub stance of the country that in 1879, when France and England, for the protection af their people who held Egyptian se 3uirities, appointed each an oilicer to 'ontrol and regulate the finances of Egypt, they found an aggregate of pub hie andi private diebt amounting to $450, 300,000. lamiail was depJosed and his son Tewik, the prcsent Khcdive, lhe ieamne his suiccessor.

Then take the sleeves, which have already had the wri.st-bands sewed on, but are still op en from wvrist-bandl to shoulder, sew tewm into the body of the shirt, leaving half an inch to turn clown for a facing. This makes uin necessary the troublesome arm-hole rfacinig and gives the requisite strength and finsh. Now comes the long seam, 2losing hoth the sleeve and the body, andl almost finishing the garment. Thiis seam must be carefully felled. Make the narrowest hem possible round the 2ottom of the shirt. Stay the ends of ieamns with tiny gussets or a tape Ititahed firmly across. The pattern ught 1.o be so perfect that the neck vill need no trimming out. A circular >and is the best fitting, and this re 1 uires a pattern.

It Is customary of late for oane sW Cy to be Illustrated at the footligbts I it has been for years in the highly spiced literature of youth. but rarely ) does tale or tragio situation supply more dramatic action or a more heroic actor than real life did the other night in this clty. There is a cozy little house at No. 466 West Twenty-first street, which forI some time has been occupied by Mrs. j A. J. Manson and her daughter. Both are ladies of culture and refinement, given to study and artistic occupations; and, living alone as they did, with only a couple of domestics in the house, they, found a guard and protector in their dog "IRox." Rex is a thoroughbred En glish mastiff, two years old. He has a great, sinewy body, covered with short brown hair, and his teeth are fitted for making fearful havoc. le is greatly at tached to his mistress, and is ever on the alert for any harm that may threat en her, a watchfulness which a week ago was of great avail. The residence of Mrs. Manson, facing the grounds of the Theological Seminary, adjoins a house with a second-story balcony. An expert climber could readily reach her window, and by the use of it there is reason to believe a burglar, or perhaps a couple, made an entrance into the house on the morning of the 4th inst. It was about half-past three o'clock. Mrs. Manson was sleeping in her bed chamber on the top floor, where the rooms of her daughter and the servant girls are also located. The weather was watch-dog, Rex, could move at will. When he growled deeply and moved aTrosS her room this morning Mrs. Man son was aroused. Rex was upright and listening. Again came the low, sullen growl, and she presently heard him slipping down the stairs. Unmindful of mischief she was com posing herself to rest, when a dreadful scream o f agony came up from the room underneath, and the lady in a flurry hurried out to the hallway and down the stairs. She first believed one of the servants had gone down and been startled by the docr, but as she reached the end of the hight a figure appeared at the door of the second floor front room, which speedily showed her the true state of affairs. A man was there, a strangeru, with uncovered head and frightencd face. The gaslight burning dimly in the hallway showed a close cropped head fixed on a thick neck, with a florid, mustached face. Over a grayish shirt was a black cuta way coat, and he wore dark pantaloons. Evidently surprised by the dog in pil laviiig the place he had turned to flee, when the gri p of the mastiff upon his hiand cvoked that cry of paii. The nionber was bleeding now. The door knon he let go was red. In a twinkling lie had reached the stairs and was de scending. But ex, as cunning as ho, was at his heels, and gathering up for a bound he drove his great tawny body against the flying burglar's shoul der6. The man went down as if struck by a club and rolled head over heels to the bottom, where ho lay a moment dazed, with the mastiff's body on his breast and teeth ini his flesh. T1he fall had stunned him, but lhe was (juickly recalled to consciousness, andi in a dreadful way. Rex had seized him by the jaw. The feet armed with sharp nails tore his face. The canine fangs reached the bone. Mrs. Manson, b~ravely following the fugitive, hieardl that dlreadful crunching a&nd her womian's heart wvas sickened. 1 I)on't, liex 1'" she called, "'Don't! '' The enragedl mastiff, mindful of his mistress' voice, dtrew back, and the hap less burglar, who had been desperately lighting with his fists and uttering fear fuil moans, made use of his chance. With an oath lie struggled to his feet and sprang down the basemient stalirs, with the nmastiff after hiim. Tlhe kitchen is at the back, with the washtubs on one side andl a door at the end op)ening on the yard. He had reached the latter, but the dlog tearing at him again comn pelled him to puIt his back against it and fight wvith might and main. Mrs. Manson found him so when she entered. It was (lark down-stairs, but the gray of early (lawn enabled her to see both the contestants. Without a moment's hesi tation the stout-hearted lady advanced, b~ut the fugitive, cowardly in his pain andl exasperation, sprang at her and dealt her a coule of blows in quick sue cension. The scou.ndrel's fist drove her head back, and the second time it struck her full on the chest and knocked her bruised and half-stunned to the floor.' A third blow was coming when Rex, who had to dash around the table to get at the man, gripped him by the arm. lie turned away with a cry, shot back the bolt and vanmishied through the dloor into the yard. Miss Manson, coming down then after her mother, found the ladIy still upon the floor, with her eyes upturned and barely conscious. She aroused( her, and after securing the door they went up-stairs. Mrs. Manson's stud(io, where the dog had made the first attack, was topsy-turvy. The windlow was half opened where the burglar had tried to get out, but on the floor were blood-drops, which had fallen from the hand the mastiff had gripped. in an inner room wvas spread in a sheet, ready for removal, the "swvag" of the night various sealskin robes, some sets of furs, an eight hundred dollar shawl, various pieces of silverware, with eighteen linen sheets and the dresses of the servants. The whole was valued at several thou sand dollars. While the ladie~s and the frightened servants were setting things to rights Miss Manson, going to close the shut ters, heard a bush in the corner of the yara rustumng. As snme glanen towvara it she saw in the wan light a nman's body rise above the wall and go over it. In another moment he appeared at the yard door of a tenement house in Tlwenty second street, and the next he was gone. 'rhe burglar had clearly secreted him self in the vard. urobablv in thme closet, when he broke loose from the mastiff's teeth, and only about twenty minutes later had made ofr. The blows ot the fellow's fists had hurt Mrs. Mansoni severely, but not ser iously, and the visitaition of himself and his accomplices, for he must have had some, seemac at first to have been un fruitful. On last Monday, however, Mrs. Manson had occasion to go to the writing desk in which she kept papers of a most important nature. TVhis desk] was in the room where the "swan~" had been spread, and on opening it sTie was startled to find it ransacked and the papers gone. The intruder's work had been done more thoroughly than was at first supposed. Close following upon this Came another discovery. On this very Monday morning an attempt had been made to poison Rex. A piece of meat was picked up In the sitting room i~ 4L~. ~.2 Pent for and the case given to them. (i nquiry they learned that the burglarl )Uo entrance of the hose on the 4th nat. had' been preceded by another within the same wiek. This time Mrs. Kanson was awakened by hearing Rex tourrying down stairs as on .the later )ocasion. She fancied that she heard a itruggle on the first floor, but before ihe could descend the dog came up again %nd seemed to bar her progress, Think. ing nothing was amiss she retired. But in the morning the front door was found to be open and Rex's bleeding head bore ,he marks of a alungshot. No trace of the mangled burglar is reported as yet. The case is still a nystery. But there is little doubt that Rex's teeth have set upon his faee a brand that should enable even police sagaolty to single him out as soon as he aomes from cover.-N. Y. lerald. That Little Chair. "Going! going!" cried one of our well known auctioners, the other day, while fhe attendant crowd seemed little inter 3sted in the proposed sale. And, indeed ahere was not much in the appearance f the object offered that was apt to bring ut any bidders. It was only a child's chair-the carpet seat stained, the woodwork battered here xnd there, a more wreck-but to one [)oor unfortunate, at least, it brought a vision of golden curls, of dimpled hands, f laughmg blue eyes, that joy that morr - childhood throws about. "T hird and last call;" and the uplifted Lrm was about to fall, when the auction. 3er's searching glanco chanced on a lilapitated being who was almost as great x wreck as -the chair itself. "Fifteen, sir? Gone!" and without more ado the knight of the hamner passed on to other things. With an unsteady stop the purchaser walked to the cashier's desk, his form bent from ago and want, his thin and battered coat buttoned tight about him, while through his hat (a relic of forme.. lays) showed here and there some silver threads. "Was my bid fifteen ?" he asked, in a voice weak and trembling, while he 3ounted over again the two nickles he held in his hand. "I thought I had that much; indeed I did; but I must have that 'bair-it's just like the one my little Gulu had when-when-" but with a big gulp he cleared his voice, and began a. search through all his pockets. "Ah! hero it is," he exclaimed as ho at last round the missing coin; and with eager hands he paid over his all, grAsped the little chair, and passed on out into the street. No one among the crowd he left, and no one of those lie met, knew of all the memories that little purchaso called to life; memories of a happier timie, visions f a fair-haired darling, recollections of long ago. How the old heart warmed again to all about him! It was like sun shine in wintor.
