A PATOUAr
With cowslips In her flaxen bair,
in stragha unlti gown o' blue,
.A crook wit in her%; hand,
A silver buckle on her shoe
She sits upon a dtisld bank,
Her fleecy flock are feeding near;
Her hear calls over like a bird:
"Oh, Colin, Colin, Colin dearI
'My love a blue-eyed shepherd Is,
He leads his flook on yonder lea;
L am a simple shepherdess,
But Colin came a-wooing mel"
Dear Colin stands amongst his flock,
And stares across the meadow gaito;
He sees sweet Phyllis' gown o' blue,
And leaves his lambkins to their fato.
SOh, Colin, Colin, Colin dear !"
Sweet Phyllis hears her heart repeat,
She starts and blushes, for she sees
Her own dear Colin at her foot.
A pattering of little hoofs,
Through meadow grassqs crisp with dow,
A bleating at the mondow gate,
And Colin's sheop atre coming, too.

FOSSIL MAN TRACKS.
Dr. H. 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

Directliins for Making a Shirt.
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.

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

and finish. Now comes the long seam,
closing hoth the sleeve and the body,
andl almnost finishing the garment. Tliis ~

It is customary of late for oanine a

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~

his came another discovery. On this

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

That Little Chair.
"Going! going!" cried one of our well
known auctioners, the other day, while
the attendant crowd seemed little inter
ested in the proposed sale. 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.

rilla warfare which is against

year from all the windows in town.
It al4o accounts for the curious
which you sometimes find in the
ard in the morning and which the cook
l1s you are meteorites. Nothing has
been devised that kills cats, and weap
ons are limited to such hand preoties
onaspre respect or terror. e old
stone-rowing machines of the Greeks
and Romans were originally devised for
this kind of combat, and were hence
called oatapults. Every adult cat has
had more costly articles thrown at
it than any opera singer that ever lived;
for, when a man's state of mind becomes
such that he gets out of bed to serve his
country in this cause, the first article he
touches is the thing that goes, whether
it be a coal scuttle, an ivory-backed
hair-brush or a diamond bracelet. Man
has the right of this conflict, and he will
surely win if he lives long enough.
-Seventy-five thousand men in New

because they can pot find wives, the
supply of marriageable women being
limited. If they will send an agent over
here to visit fashionable watering-places
and church picnics, their sorrow may
soon be turned to joy.-New York Hour.
