A PASTORArL.
With cowslips in her flaxen hair
lu straiwh hanxing gown o' bue,
A crook wit in her lly hand,
A silver buckle on her shoe
She sits upon a dqislod bank,
Her fleec flock are feeding near;
Her her calls over like a bird:
"Oh, 0on, Colin, Ooln deart
My love a blue-eyed shepherd is,
He 1eads his flook on yonder lea;
I ama simple shepherdess,
But Colin came a-wooing mel"
Dear Colin stands amongst his flock,
And stares across the meadow gate;
He sees sweet Phyllis' gown o' blue,
And leaves his lambkins to their fato.
"Oh, Colin, Colin, Colin dear I "
Sweet Phyllis hears her hoart repeat.
She starts and blhiashes, for sho sees
Her own dear Colin at her feet.
A pattering of little hoofs,
Through meadow grassqs crisp with dow,
A bleating at the meoadow gate,
And Colin s sheop are coming, too.

FOSSIL MAN TRACKS.
Dr. H. 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.
TIhie p~resent dynasty wvas founded by
the usurper, Mehemit Ali. lie was ap

San of Turkey in 1806, and five years
after he compelled his master to make

through the descendants of Mehemet
Ali (down to the fifth, Ismail, who, in
186i6, received the title of Khedive-el
MIisr, wvhich means King. 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,

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

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. And may that little
Dhair he0 there to cheer and brighten
when the winds blo wv fiercer, and the
last flickering light of a nowv useless life
is about to ao out forever.
