Special Sale ov- Hose 25 Cent llosc for Mm Although opinions are divided con-renting It, there Is much talk obout the portable schoolhouse In Now York. Only a few days ago the matter came up unofficially In the board of education, brought shout by the success of experiment made with them In the borough of Brooklyn and by the word from Boston, where portable school-bouses have been pieced here, there and everywhere when there was need of more room.

Tho objection that authorities In Manhattan raise Is that playground spare is so limited that there is hardly room to put portable buildings alongside of schools In the crowded sections of the city, where they would be most valuable. On the other band, a portable building has been squeezed In by a school in a most populous section of Greenpolnt, and it is proving very useful. Three portable schools are already In operation in Brooklyn, seating alto gether 250 children who could not otherwise be accommodated. The theory Is that a city should own or hire a number of these portable schoolhouses wan hlTv ts Neckwear 25 Cent Tics for CJ ETJ 1 nj-f)J-lJ-f-Va--M-ll'-M 1 -I-, ll V'M'U QUEEREST CITY EVER BUILT Town Founded by Jullaa Ericson and His Follower la Nerr Mexico, Fosdieli Sosi I Ul Cent BESS BE Ot all Queer cities ever built the Queerest was undoubtedly that erected near the headquarters of the Rio Pecos, In New Mexico, by Julian Eric-son and his followers in the middle of last century. Ericson was an American of Norwegian descent, and inherited somo money, together with a taste for occult mysticism, from his father, a Swedenborglan carpenter and contractor.

He early came under the Influence or Joseph Smith, the founder of Mor-monism; but quarreled with his leader, and started to found an entirely new sect of his own, the cardinal principle of which was the transmigration of the souls the faithful while yet on earth. That is to say, he promised that his disciples should, at an early date, be changed into doves, eagles, lions, or, in fact, into whatever beast or bird they chose. It seems "scarcely credible that such an absurd, not to say nauseous, doctrine should have succeeded, even for uncomfortable to know that one's reveals unsightly teeth.

A VERY FINE MUMMY. Body of Priest Unearthed After Four Thousand' Years. The German Oriental society has been most successful in Us explorations at Abu-Si- la Egypt and most interesting "finds' were distributed among the Berlin museums during the month of October. One of the most lmportant'dlscoverles was a perfectly preserved mummjr of Jen Em Jechvet, the high priest of the temple, who died about 2,000 years before Christ.

The body was found in a family vault, which also contained the remains of his priest and reader and their wives. Only three tombs "of such an age have been found In good preservation during the last century, and this is the first time that the contents have been brought safely to. Europe. Jen lay in his coffin enveloped in a brown linen shroud, just as he had been placed there 4,000 years ago. In accordance with the fashion of the time, he has Email side whiskers, and a longer tuft on his chin, and his eyes are made to appear unnaturally long by means of the careful application of rouge.

The wlg, which is large and parted down the middle, has a bluish tint verging on green, i and must originally have been the color of lapis lazuli, in Imitation of the hair worn by Egyptian gods. The mummy was lying slightly on the left side, as Egyptians sleep to day, and the head rested on a support such as is still in use in the Soudan. The eyes are turned toward the rising sun. Two staffs were found beside the body, and a little wooden statue.

THE WICKED I'll OS PER Immenso Fortunes Mndo By Thoso Who Operate Gam- bling I louses. Leslie's Weekly: Solomon, the wise man of the Scriptures, and many otbor sages since his day, bavc given forth the solemn counsel that the way of the wicked shall not prosper, and also the correlative that "rlghteousncsa Is profitable both for this world and the world that Is to come." However true these sayings may be as to general principles of human conduct, the exceptions to be found in every age and every part of the world aro numerous and striking. Gambling, for example, has ever been justly held as a sinful practice, one of the most demoralizing of hu man vices, and yet today the richest and most prosperous state In all tho world is Monaco, wherein Is located Monte Carlo, the most famous or infamousgambling bell on the globe. Fifty years ago, when the Casino at Monte Carlo was first opened, Monaco was on the verge of bankruptcy, an insignificant, miserable, little principality, with no assets worth mentioning, and no future. The turn came sudden ly when the prince of Monaco one day accepted an offer of 1.700,000 francs from Francois Blanc, th chief of European gamblers, for the privilege of opening and operating the Casino as a gambling Money literally flowed into the coffers of Francois Blanc and his fellow concessionaries from the day the place was opened, and has continued to flow ever since.

When Blanc died he left it ry large fortune to his widow. The Casino was then handed over to a company with an enomous capital, and the prince of Monaco renewed the concession for the modest consideration of $5,000 a week, with an extra trifle of $100,000 a year to keep up his bodyguard. The whole estate has grown since the gamblers came, and not the state only, but the coast for a hundred miles round. Sandy soil, originally worth $25 an acre, fifty miles from Monaco, has realized an acre in thirty years; the two hotels in the state hav multiplied by twenty-four, and as against three Jew elers and seventeen wine merchants twenty years ago, there are today fifteen jewelers and eighty-five wine merchants. A thousand people are kept in regular work at the Casino it self, and honest folk who live by hon est means have grown rich in spite of themselves through the remarkable development of the state.

The people of Monaco have the good sense not to gamble for themselves, and no citizen, save on one day a year, may enter the Casino. "If men from other lands with more money than brains, choose to lose their brains and leave their money in Monaco," the native argu ment seems to run, "we have nothing to do with It. At least, we will use their money well, and wash our hands of the channel through which It comes." All this profit is over and above the actual expense of running the Casino Itseir, which foots up to nearly a year. It cost, for instance, about $205,000 for the item of the theater and orchestra; firemen and maintenance of gardens eat up. $100,000 more, and opposite to such suggestive entries as "grants to the press" and to "bishop, clergy, and educational institutions" are set down the sums of $100,000 and $45,000, respectively.

The lighting and water supplies drain the revenue of the tables to the extent of $95,000, and the prizes the authorities are called upon to offer at carnivals, races, pigeon shooting, and other amusements absorb another How much it costs to dispose of the persons who are so inconsiderate as to shoot themselves after a run of bad luck at the tables is not set down in the lists, but this probably covered by the contingent fund, for which thousands of dollars are appropriated each year.

Some hundreds ot enthusiasts threw In their lot with him, and, following the example of the Mormons, marched westward from the settled states into the great western xilds. They finally brought up in what is now San Miguel county, and built a town of frame houses, at the back ot each of which was a cage or den suitable to the needs of the particular animal or bird they expected shortly, become. Of course, the promises of Ericson came to nothing, and In the end he and a number of his disappointed disciples were killed in battle with the Apaches. The others scattered to var ious parts, the majority going to California to dig for gold; acd the stronger of the cages, those erected for the would-be tiger-men and lion-women, were afterward utilized for a brief period as places ot confinement for refractory convicts.

Rich-aros went back to see his new pet half an hour later, and was amazed to see the yard in a terriblo commotion. The great chicken, which had stalked so proudly about his new home a few moments before, to the wonder of the old chickens, was now in pitiful distress. It rushed frantically about the inclosure, sawklng strangely; and happing its wings- in desperation, Around it swarmed J.00O bees.

Viciously they darted at the unfortunate fowl. The bewildered stranger- from across the seas dashed vainly about for a few minutes, to the alarm of the other chickens. It struck out with its wings and feet. Turn as it would, it could not escape the infuriated bees. At last it fell, and the relentless winged torturers settled, upon it, stinging it to death.

way out of a troublesome predicament Harper's Weekly. Importance of Good Cookery. More things are wrought by lndiges tion than this world dreams of. Napoleon lost battles it; it helped Carlyle to reap Immortality. A German lawyer, lately deceased, seems to have been of this opinion, and his form of practical philosophy likes us better than the obscurities of Hegel or tho theories of Kant.

Herr Botta, the lawyer In our mind, has left ten thousand sterling for the foundation of a school 'of cookery, This is better than many free libraries which underlies this generosity.

English Company Takes Risks Upon the Surgeons' Operating Skill.

In England people of moderate means are beginning to insure themselves against surgical operations. The plan is that subscribers who pay an annual fee shall be entitled either to free admittance to a hospital or nursing at home and a free operation or to a fixed sum' paid down to defray the cost of an operation if ows becomes necessary. In England, as here, the cost of surgical repairs to the human Body' has become oppressively great to persons who just to pay their way. People who are obviously-poor get a great deal of excellent surgical and medical treatment in hospitals and elsewhere for noting, but for the next class above them a serious Illness especially if it Involves an operation Is almost ruinous.
