and passes with us as a kind of ara-
besque outline.
Some of the new thin silk gauzes for
evening are worked in stripes rye colored
aud this is done in the most artis-
tic manner, and the finished dress of this
hind of embroidery is a dream. I saw one
weere there was a trailing design with
the loveliest morning glories in several
shades and even colors, just as if the
worker had sat down beside a teelis
where all the varieties of this beautiful
flower were in full bloom. Yet they were
so delicete and the colors so taint that
,they looked like the ghosts of the real
flowers. Souse of the gauzes' are woyeu

TRICKING THE
EGYPTIANS, 1
BY 111. (1,13A.D.

[Copyright, 1900, by c. B. Le -wise
When the firm of Haywood, Stone az
CO. of London established an agency at
Cairo, Egypt, I was placed in charge.
Sly business wits the buying of eug,s,
vases, arms, cloths and whatever else
might find sale in England. That was
what I may call my general and legit-
-
huate business. As a side line I was
to pick up bargains in mummies. Up
to the founding of that agency in Cairo
'only a few museums in Europe or
America had been able to secure speci-
mens. To get hold of a unmanly with
a history required a c.cettple of emus'
diplomatic correspoucleuce between
governments, and the cost would run
up as high as $80,000. Under the laws
of Egypt It was death t� disturb the
dead without, official permission, and
death to any foreigner discovered try-
ing to ship a mummy out of the coun-
try without special license. In justice
to the old and respectable bouse I bave
named I must say that they bad ne
knowledge of my side line. I had a
partner in Loudon who advanced the
money and shared the profits. When
I was ready to begin business, we bad
orders for 30 mummies. "
Let me tell you that I had a crafty
part to play. In a way the brands
was under the supervision of the
Egyptian government. At the end of
eacb week I bad to submit a list of
Illy purchases. All nay shipments had
to pass the customs officials. My ware -
rooms must always be open to official
inspection. I was not told in so many
words that all this watelefuluess was
to prevent me from dealing in mum-
mies, but of course I knew'that it was.
My first step was to bribe every official
wteo could obstruct me, and I had to
move slowly in the matter and make
DO mistakes. Then an agent must be
found to look up and ship me the
specimens from points in the interior,
and he bad to he a nervy as well as
an honest man. He in turn would
have to find faithful men, and taker
all in all it was a bit of business to
be handled witis care. It was six
months before I got it under way, and
after once fairly in it there was not
an hour in which I felt safe from

Men, and it made no difference about
the sex or whether there was a record
attached. There were a few museums
in want of particular bodies. They
wanted kings, queens, generals or
poets who bad been dead train 3,000
to 5,000 years. It is perhaps unneces-
sary to inform the reader that I always
filled these orders. After getting a
mummy into my warehouse I had a
way of making it Lill the bill and give
general satisfaction. My assistant,
wbo was a native antiquary, a native
doctor and a villain, was bandy at un-
wrapping and rewrapping and carving
hieroglyphics and manufacturing rel-
ics. If there was fraud in it, I do not
seek to defend myself. I simply say
that if there is a public demand for
the mummy of Plutraole it Is the duty
of some agent to supply it as near as
possible and leeep people good natured.
In the course of two years 1 saipped
56 mummies safely out of Cairo and
landed them in London, and I ans
frank to say tbat my dividends were
considerably targer than those paid
last year by the Standard Dil compa-
ny or the Carnegie Iron works. The
mummy business was bOOlning, and I
was filling orders for anything up to
10,000 yeers old on deniand wben
government official gave me a hint that
my business bad been tumbled to.Ile
exchanged his information for my $20
goldpiece and went his way, and It
was my business to pet up a job on the
k.bedive and square myself. I don't
know that any one had given me away
directly, but suspicion had somehow
become aroused, and t *as to be put
under surveillance and caught red
handed. My shipments suddenly ceas-
ed, and the mummy., tnarlset became
dull. After it couple of eveeke my as-
sistant villain went up thenNile toward
the ruins of Memphis to look for a
man, It was a live man and a partied -
lar sort of man he wanted, and when
he found bins the sum of $30 changed
hands. Then the man died. At least
he was sWathed in bandages which
had come from the 100113S 2,000.years
before, scented and spiced in Al
style and then put in a coffin Which
gave him away as having been dead el -
most 20 centuries. The isieroglyphies
on that coffin And on a manuscript i0 -
closed revealed the fact that the deed

"What nousemse Is this?" exclaimed
tbe man as be struels the coffin with
bis cane. "Do you think I am a child
to believe such tales?"
"I think you are it very smart Man,"
replied, "but there is yet semething
to learn. Read of Souadi Ela.ssassan,
ale was the greatest magician the
world ever knew. He it was who made
the Nile flow backevarcl for a day.
When he 118.(1 lived for 1,000 yeas's, he
became weary for the wailt of pleep.
Ile fell into a trance which was not to

"And he will come back to Ilfe?"
queried the man, with an incredulous
smile.
"He will. You and your friends will
be here to see. I had read of Wan and
I was anxious to get his body. I paid a
large price for it that I may see it re-
stored to life with my own eyes."
The Egyptian's natural superstition
and my earnestnees staggered the man,
and when 1 StINV it I clinched the mat-
ter by saying; •
"It is only a few hours to wait. Yon

my assistant sball unwrap Hassassan
and bring him to life. Let two of your
soldiers watch the coffin meanwhile. If
things don't turn out ag I say, you shall
carry me off prisoner and have $100 In
gold as a present."
"So be it," he so.id after a long look
at me, "but do not attempt to:trick me.
am no fool."
Two soldiers were left to watch the
coffin, and in my hearing he warned
them that any remissness on their part
would be followed by swift punisb-
went. aly living rooms were over the
aatrerooms. When tbe dinner bour ar-
rived, I had the official and two of his
friends to sit down with me. All three
of the men had made up their minds
that' I was playing a game of bluff,
and they bad a curiosity to know bow
I was going to carry it through. Fifty
dollars would have bribed any of them
to shut his eyes for a year, but in this
case they had received their orders di-
rect from the minister and dared not
trifle with him. They drank sparingly
of the wine that they might keep their
heads clear, but grew sufficiently good
natured to bope that I might get out of
the trouble without serious loss.
"There will be no trouble," I replied,
with calna assurance. "Sonatdi Hasse's-
san has had his sleep and will return
to life, and the government will prob-
ably reward me for restoring such a
celebrated man to earth. Come, gen-
tlemen, it is time."
The soldiers had been sitting before
the coffin for hours. My assistant was
on hand and ready, and we lost no
time in getting to work. The coffin
was tilted up on, end, the body lifted
forward so that it could be got at, and
the wraps were soon removed. I knew
that the mummy was a live man, but
never had I looked upon the face of a
subject showing death and the passage
of time more plainly. The face would
have deceived the wisest professor in
Europe. Tbere were the sunken eyes
and cheeks, the loss of teeth and the
seal brown color, and I found myself
wondering if some mistake hadn't been
made. Tbe official and his friend quiet-
ly chuckled as the business proceeded,
and my assistant villain was the only
one who was perfectly placid. He
did not burry his work. He was a
full halt' hour getting down to the last
wrapping, which was a sort of union
garment made for the occasion. Then
be stepped baols with a flourish, picked
up a stick and, striking three blows
on the coilin, lie called out:
It is time. Sonseli Hassassam it is
11100!"
The chest of the mummy began to
heave and its eyes to flutter. Then
came a long breath and its eyes unclos-
ed. The soldiers bolted frotn the ware-
house in affright, and the three men re-
treated several paces in consternation.
Very slowly and without a false mo-
tion the mummy gasped anal stretched
and looked about. A hand went up to
rub .sleep front its eyes. Then it moved
uneasily and presently stepped from
the coffin, straightened up and passed
out of the door into the night with
slow and dignified steps.
"Well?" I queried as I turned to the
dumfounded trio.
They stood stariug with open mouths,
and I had to put hands on them before
they came back to earth.
"Did I not tell you so? Did I not say
that after a sleep of 2,000 years the
great usagician would return to life?"
They did not answer, but with pale
faces and chattering,teeth they totter-
ed out into the darkness with a mighty
Mar upon them. I had the agency for
two years longer. and there MIS a con-
tinuous boons Id the mummy market,
but after that incident there was never
an official inspection of my stock. The
officials could not bare been hired for
money to poke about in the dark cor-

When all the conditions are favoe-

or rectangular silo, sinee it requirce
less material whether IntilV of staves
or otherwise. Even when bui.lt with
a frame there is much saving in stud-
ding material, because of the less size
of the studs used. The circular form
is much more favorable to the eyea

more favorable to its perfect preserva-
tion. This arises, in part at least, from
the entire absence of corners in the silo.
The tendency of the walls to spread le
entirely taken away. In the stave silo
the hoops, when kept properly in place,
prevent such a result, and in round
silos built with a frame the lining with-
in and without has a similar effect.
The advantages of the stave silo over
the round frame silo are so clearly
drawn that it would probably be safe
to predict that the former, though of
more recent introduction, is likely to
almost entirely supersede the latter.
It is more simple in Its construction
and can be built more economically
than the other form of round silo. It
is easier to exclude the air because of
the opportunity that is always present
to tighten the hoops when neceS-
sary. It is believed that decay will
be less rapid in the stave silo. Ex-
perience has already demonstrated that
the frost will penetrate a round frame
silo mucla more easily than one made
of staves. The ease with which froet
penetrates it round, frame silo unless
provided with ample lining is a decided
objection to the same in a cold winter
climate.
The stave silo may be located within
oe without, although more commonly It
is placed outside of the stable or barn.
Sometimes it is located in ono corner
of the outbuilding, partly within and
partly without the same.
The character of the foundation foe
the stave silo should be determined
largely by dm character of the soil and
the size of the silo. Stave silos have
been placed on the surface of the
ground without any excavation what-
ever other than that made by removing
a few inches of the soft surface soil.
But in sueb instances they have stood
on a double thickness of bricks laid
first in mortar and then in cement.
The mortar below should rest on bro-
ken stories or gravel. This plan would
seem to answer where the soil is per-
fectly dry and the silo is of moderate
dimensions.
Tbe stone foundation should not be
less 'Ulan two feet broad and should
come up several inches above the sur-
face of the ground. Plat stones are
preferable to round ones, but round
ones will ans-wer. The wall may be
flat on top, but many favor making a
shoulder on the outside.—The staves of
the silo ,should stand inside the shoul-
der and close against it. It when the
hoops are drawn tightly the staves
should be drawn away from the shoul-
der, the space should be filled by pour-
ing thin cement into it,
