W. Hiarkness has read a paper before the California Academy of Sci ences on the recent discovery of foot prints in the sandstone of the yard of the Nevada State Prison. Tn the course of this paper he said: "We find in the lowest strata, ex posed by the workmen, numerous fresh water shells, whieh are those of a mius 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. This discovery is of additional interest from the fact that Clarence King reports that he found no fresh-water shelis 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 slightly tilted at a period subsequent to its deposition. It also gives evidence of havino- been at one time the shore of somelake, or, perhaps, pond, local and isolated as its level was above that of Lake Lahontaih. Presumably we stand on the shore of this ancient pond or lake, and as we look about us we see I he footprints of a veriety of animals, amIIong which we recognize those of the mammoth, the deer, the wolf, those of many birds, ap parently those of a horse, and, imost im portant of all, what seems to be the im prints of the sandaled foot of man. "Tiere are six series of the tracks of man. Each of these series is represent ed by a number of footprints (from (igh t to seventeen) in repular order, and each showing more or fess plainly t he im print of a sandal. Besi es this, in one of the series there is a marked dilfer ence in the form of the sandal. The first of these series which we exainiiedl is to be seen emerginoe, as it were, from the southern s'do of tdIcyard, and where the clil' is fifteen feet, in height above the tracks. This set iles consists of twelve tracks, to which number four w"ere subsequently adIded by tunnuelino-g into the rock. Thecse tracks were evi (dntly made in a layer of sediment of perhaps two inches ini depth, for below this layer we find thme compact sand stone. In each instance thme muiid had beeni raised by the pre~ssuIre of the foot into a ridge which entirely surroulndIed i.Tis mudl is only partially solidified, and issi lakey and easily brokenm on exposure. Each of the imprints furnish es us wvith evidence, as we believe, that the feet of thme One making the tracks were protected by san dais. "In no single impression, perhaps, do we finid conclusive eivi~idece of this fact, but when we .stiuly them as a whole we lindl that that. wvhichi is want. ing in one is furntishedl by others whichi foillOW. In nearly all the toe p)ortioni of the sandal is well shiown, it being as smooth as the work of a mason ford thle distance of two or three inches. Back wardl from the toe wve generally linmi the impression of the outer portion of the sandal. W~hen stuied as a whole wye can dletermfine with a good deal of ex act ness the actual length andl~ breadlth of thme sandlal, which wye find to be nine teen inches in length, eighlt inches at the ball of the foot, wyhilhe the heel i~s six inches in breadth. In its out line it follows clearly the shape of the hmn foot. From the great toe outward there is a really graceful curve, whieb draws in towardl the heel; while from the great toe inward 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 difleret form of sandal. [he average lengt h of thme stride is two feet three inclhes. T1hae distance between the feet or the strad-. dle is eighteen inches. "It seems very impiortant to know if there were more footprints of the same~ series still running on mnto and uinder this rock face. To determine this fact Air, Garrard, who was anxious to assist usi in every way p)ossible, immediately commeneced a tunnel upon the Iine of the prints of the same series, if such ex isted. In this effort lie was completely successful, bringing to view four other footprints, thmree of wvhich were muoro perfect than those wvhich had been pre.. viously exp~osedl. One of the four, owing to a fault of thme rock, was toe obscure to be of value. Of this series we securedl twvelve more or less perfectI easts in plaster. " One marked feature is that in all of these tracks the toes turn wveil out ward, which is not as a ruile the habit of the North American indianI. Witi.m a few paces of thne prints we have de-. scribedI is tob be found anoth'er series of tracks made by an indlividuail wvho was walking in deeper mud, which clung to and closed in upon the foot. Seven or eight such arab to he seen in re;.uliar order, and then thme track, like the 0one pr(.vously (described, is lost in the ledtge towardl which the steps are tendling. Three of these are sonewhat smialler than the one descsribed, while one has aj sandal more curved than that of his fel. lows. T1hese are lost in the ledge, where they may be followved b~y future explorations. TIhese printsappear to be upon a floor a few inches lowver than thme one first described. "' Returning now to our first dlescribed tracks, we find at a distance of ten or twelve paces other tracts. 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 (diameter. 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. "BResides the above-described tracks there were tracks of some wading birds,1 as before mentionedI. These did noti seem to differ much in form and size from those of the same order now living. Several quite distinct track.. of deer are 1 also to be seen. Others, again, were found which in size and length of strlde' much resemble those of a wolf. At one point these trac's may be traced for a distance of twenty feet, where they also are lost ini the ledge. There are also a few poorly-defined imprints of what we believe to haL. a h - . r-. two objetions .thus far raised against the claim 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 puspicion that they were those of an an imal other than or man. "To the first objection we reply that for the protection of his feet the prini tive man would naturally select the sandal. In fashioning this sandal 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 border which might serve as a protection to the side of his foot, as well as to the heel and 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 adopted for securing the san dal, as we find no indication of holes in the bottom of the sandal through whieh 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 incies ho would be likely to fashion a sandal of nearly if not quite the proportions of the one shown by the impression. '"While it must be admitted that the print of the sandalled foot is unusutily 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 the average man of live feet ten incies in height." Ancient and Modern Egypt. The ancient Egypt was reckoned in its best days to contain a population of 15,000,000, and it was the richest and most prosperous monarchy in the world before Rome came to the front. 'its cities rivaled Babylon and Nineveh in their days, and when Airu took Alexandria it contained over 600,000 inhabitants and the grandest library collection in the world. The modern Egypt, though possessin r none of the ancient--grand Cur, is sill a country far from despica ble in resources and population. Egypt proper, from the cascades of the Nile to Ilie sea, contaitis 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 the area of AMlassaclusetts, and not much above the population of the State of New York. But -the prodluctive quality of tle land is such that it might serve to sippiort 20,000,000. The annual ex ports to Great Britain alone ten years ag1o amolitted to $82,250,000, while the imports from Great Britain to Egypt were but $36,000,000, showing a heav. balance of trade in favor of Egypt. Since the opening of the Suez Canal, Egyptin exp~orts to England have dec elined to less than $40,000,000, and t heo impiorts to less than $12,000,000. The valley of the lower Nile is not all of Egypt, though it is all that is vital. The Kheidive rules over a region on the upper)C Nile covering an area of 1,500,000 sq uare miles, andl embracingr a barbarous p~opuilation of 16,000,000. This has becn acqjuired by con';uest since 1873, and includes Nubia and D~arfur. Nubia is that. country which the ancients calledl Eth iop ia. These conqjuests may be made valuable .by the 'onsructiont of railways, but that will require European capital. TIhe present dynasty was founded by the usurper, Mehemit Ali. lie was ap pointed P'asha, or Governor by the Sul I an of Turkey in 1806, and live years after he compelled his master to make him Viceroy. T1his title was continued th rough the descendants of Mehemet Ali down to the fifth, Ismail, who, in 1866, received the title of Khedive-el Misr, which means King. The condi t ion of this promiotion was that the Khedive should pay an annual tribute of $3,000,000 to the Sultan, the former tribute being but $1.800,000. This, of course, is a heavy tax on the p~eople, The allowance for the support of ~the Khedive, or King, is $750,000, and for his relatives $660,000. But the late Khedivye, Ismail, contracted private debts amounting to more than $40,000, 000 and otherwise so wastedi the sub stance of the country that in 1879, when France and England, for the protection of their people who 1held Egyptian se curities, appointed each an oflicer to control and~ regulate the finances of Egypt, they found an aggregate of pub lie andl private decbt amounting to $450, 000,000. ismtail was dleposed andl his son Tewik, the pres;ent Khedive, be came his successor. T1hese financial cormplications led to the present dhill culties; these and the Mohianmmedan ha trett of Christians and foreigners. The rapidl decline of Egyptian trade with England, formerly hter best customer, is attributedi to the Suez Canal, wvhich Lnables Enrland1 to trade on better Lermis with hndia and her Oriental pos sessions.

T1hie very first thing to do is to set 1 [lie linen hosom on the front. Stitch it twice across the lower edige, and cut aut the nteck b~y the shirt pattern. Next I hinish the back. If a yoke shirt is to be mnadle, gather the fullness, and p~lacemg it between the front and back rof the yoke, sew the seam and turn the yoke, leaving the seam inside. If it be a sack-shirt, face the back for a rlepth of twelve incihes. Next sew up the shoulder seams, always leaving~ the facing of thle baL:k, or the linincv of the yroke, to stitch dowvn on the rigf-t side. .his Jmakes all smooth andl well linished. 'Then take the sleeves, which have already had the wvriat-bands sewed I On, buIt are still open from wvrist-bandl 1 to shoulder, sew thewm into the body of the shirt, leaving half an inch to turn dowvn for a facing. This makes un necessary the troublesome arm-hole facing andl gives the requisite strength and finish. Now comes the long seam, closing hoth the sleeve and the body, andl almnost finishing the garment. Tliis ~ seam must be carefully fell ed. Make1 the narrowest hem possible round the bottom of the shirt. Stay the ends of teams with tiny gussets or a tape ttit~hed firmly arcross.

It is customary of late for oanine a gacity to be illustrated at thefoot. asitha been for years in the highly spiced literature ol youth. but rarely does tale or tragic situation supply more dramatic action or a more heroic actor than real life did the other night in this cit . There is a cozy little house at No. 465 West Twenty-first street, which for some time has been occupied by Mrs. A. J. Manson and her daughter. Both are ladles of oulture 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 "Rex." 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, aud by the use of it there is reason to believe a burglar, or perhaps a couple, made an entrance into the house on the imorning of the 4th inst. It was about half-past three o'clock. Mrs. Manson was sleeping in her bed chamber on the top flodr, where the rooms of her daughter and the servant girls are also located. The weather was close, and through the open doors.the watch-dog, Rex, could move at will. When he growled deeply and moved across 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 sli)iing down the stairs. Unmindful of mischief she was com posing herself to rest, when a dreadful scream of rgony came up from the room underneath, and the lady in a flurry hurried out to the hallway and down the stairs. She first believed one3 of the servants had gone down and been startled by the dow, but as she reached the end of the iRight 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 stranger, with uncovered head and frightened face. The gaslight burning (imly 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 lagring the place he Iad turned to flee, when the grip of the mastiff upon his hand evoked that cry of pain. The niember was bleeding now. The door knot he let go was red. In a twinkling he had reahed the stairs and was do scendling. But flex, as cunninig as he, was at his heels, and gathering up for a bound lhe drove his great tawny body against the flying burglar's shoul ders. The man wvent dowvn as if struck by a club and rolled head over heels to the bottom, where he lay a moment dazed, with the mastiff's body on his breast and teeth in hxis fleshi. The fall had stunned him, but he was qjuickly recalled to consciousness, and 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, bravely following the fugitive, hea rd that dreiadful crunching a.nd her wvoman's heart was sickened. "IDon't, Hex i'" she called, "Dlon'tA'" The enraged mastiff, mindlful of his mistress' voice, drew back, and the hap) less bu:rglar, who had been desperately fighting with his fists and uttering fear fuml moans, made use of his chance. With an oath he struggled to his feet and sprang dlown the basement stairs, with the mastiff after him. '[he kitchen is at the back, with the washtubs on one side and a door at the end op)ening on the yard. He had reached the latter, but the dog tearing at him again comn pelled him to p)ut his back against it and fight with might and main. Mrs. Manson found him so when she entered. It was (lark down-stairs, but the gray of early dawn enabled her to see both the* contestants. Without a moment's hesi tation the stout-hearted lady advanced, bult the fugitive, cowardly in his pain and exasperation, sprang at her and dealt her a coule of blows in quick sue cenion. The scoundrel's fist drove her head back, and tl~e second time it struck her full on the chest and knocked her b~ruised and half-stunned to the floor.' A third blow was coming when Rtex, who had to dash around thle table to get it the man, gripped him by the arm. Ie turned awvay with a cry, shot back he bolt and vanished through the door nto the yard. Miss Manson, coming Iown then after her mother, found the adly still upon the floor, with her eyes iptuarned and barely conscious. She Lroused her, and after securing the door hey went up-stairs. Mrs. Manson's tudio, where the dog had made the first ~ttack, was top~sy-turvy. The window vas half openedl where the burglar had ried to get ouit, but on the floor were >lood-drops, which had fallen from the mand the mastiff hadi gripped. In an uiner room was spread in a sheet, ready or removal, the "swag" of the night rarious scalskin robes. some sets of furs, n eight hundred dollar shawl, various >iCee of silverware, with eighteen linen hoots and the dresses of the servants. ['he0 whole was valued at several thou and dollars. While the ladies and the frightened ervants were setting things to rights hlss Manson, going to close the shut ers. heard a bush in the corner of the rarat rustling. As sne giancent towara~( t she saw in the wan light a man's body 'iso above the wall and go over it. in Lnother moment he appeared at the yard loor of a tenement house in TJwenty econd street, and the next he was gone. ['he burglar had clearly secreted him elf in the yard. urobably in the closet, vhen he broke 100s0 from the mastiff's eoth, and only about twenty minutes ater had made ofr. 'rho blows of the follow's fists had Lurt Mrs. Man on severely, but not ser ously, and the visitation of himself and is accomplices, for ho must have had ome, seemed at tirst to have been un ruitful. On last Monday, however, 4rs. Manson had occasion to go to the writingr desk in which she kept papers f a most important nature. This desk vas in the room where the "swag" had eeon spread, and on opening it sheO was tartled to find it ransacked and the apers gone. 'The intruder's work hadi eon done more thoroughly than was at~ Lrst supposed. Close following upon his came another discovery. On this ery Monday morning an attempt had een made to poison nRe. A pue of sent for and the ca. given to them. Oni inquiry thty learned thathe burglari ons entrane of the house on the 4th inst. had' been preoeded by another within the same week. This time Mrs. Manson was awakened by hearing Rex srrying down stairs as on .the later occasion. She fancied that she heard a struggle on the first floor, but before she could descend the dog came up again and 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 the marks of a slungshot. No trace of the mangled burglar is reported as yet. The case is still a inystery. there is little doubt that Rex's teeth have set upon his face a brand that should enable even police sagaolty to single him out as soon as he comes from covr.-N. Y.

And, indeed there was not much in the appearance of the object offered that was apt to bring out any bidders. It was only a child's chair-the carpet seat stained, the woodwork battered here and there, a mere wreck-but to one poor unfortunate, at least, it brought a vision of golden curls, of dimpled hands, of laughing blue eyes, that joy that merr- childhood throws about. "'hird and last call;" and the uplifted arm was about to fall, when the auction. eer's searching glance chanced on a dilapitated being who was almost as great a wreck as the chair itself. "Fifteen, sir? Gone!" and without more ado the knight of the hammer passed on to other things. With an unsteady step the purchaser walked to the cashier's desk, his form bent from age and want, his thin and tattered coat buttoned tight about him, while through his hat (a relic of formt-., days) showed here and there some silver threads. "Was my bid fifteen ?" he asked, in a voice weak and trembling, while he counted over again the two nickles he held in his hand. "I thought I had that much; indeed I did; but I must have that chair-it's just like the one my little Lulu had when-when-" but with a big gulp lie cleared his voice, aind began a search through all his pockets. "Ah! here it is," he exclaimed as he at last found the missing coin; and with eager hands he paid over his all, grAsped the little chair, and passed on out into tho street. No one among the crowd he left, and no one of those lie met, knew of all the memories that little purchase called to life; memories of a happier time, visions of a fair-haired darling, recollections of long ago. How the old heart warmed again to all about him! It was like sun shine in winter. And may that little chair b~e there to cheer and brighten when the inds blo0v fiercer, and the last flickering light of a now useless life is about to go out forever. --A German wine merchant who was convicted and sent to prison for adult crating wine was forced to betray the secret of his opieration.
