The delight which a litUe girl sometimes experiences iu getting ol a doll that belonged to her mother when she was a little girl a quaint, chin-headed and chiua haired little creature, with low neck and short sleeved and very rnftled skirt is a tame thiug wheu compared with the feelings that any girl most experience over a doll now in the British Museum. This doll is almost three thousand years old. When some archeologists were exploring an ancient Egyptian royal tomb they came upon a sarcophagus containing the mommy of a little princess seven years old. She was dressed and interred in a manner betittiug her rank, and in her arms was found a little wooden doll. The inscription gave the name, rank and age of the little girl and the date of the death, but it said nothing about the quaint little wooden Egyptian doll. This, how ever, told its own story. It was so tightly clasped in the arms of the inumy that it was evident that the child had died with her In-loved doll in her arms. The simple pathos of this story has touched many heaits, after thousands of yeais. The doll occupies a place in a glass case in the British Museum, and there a great many children have gone to look at it. Mr. Bain to Statesille. liev. K. L.

The New Fourteen Inch Army and Navy Gun. Great interest attaches to the new foarteen-inch gun for the navy which has been delivered at the na vy yard at Washington, where it will be ritied and the breech me chanism installed. On completion it will be shipped to the naval prov ing grounds at Indian Head, Mary land, for a test. The completed gun will weigh about 63 tons; its pro jectile will weigh about 1,400 pounds, and the latter will Ik? pro pelled by a charge of 365 pounds of powder. The extreme range at maximum elevatiou will be more than 25 miles. As compared with the present navy 12 inch gan, this will be a far more powerful weap on. it will penetrate any armor afloat, at the most distant ranges at which accurate aiming is possi ble. The army has also a 14 inch gun of much lower velocity and power, which will soon be tested at theSandy Hook proving grounds The lower muzzle velocity (about 2,000 feet per second) of the 14 inch gun will give it additional life over the 12-inch gun. After some eighty discharge-, the rilling of the present 12 inch gun of 2, 500 foot seconds velocity Invomes so badly worn as to destroy the accur acy. In the case of the 14 inch gun, the eiosion is much less, and the gun will be serviceable for a bout ifOO discharges. Scientific American . Linville Items. Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Christmas Packages. The Southern Express Company issues the following annual card to its customers with instructions which are pertinent at this peculiar season of the year: "1. All packages of freight or merchandise should 1 properly packed, so that all ordinary hand ling, such as packages must have in transportation, will not result in the breaking of contents. The strength of the Iwx or wrapper must always ! proportionate to the character or weight of the cou tents. All packages should be securely tied and should be plainly marked with a marking brush or a strong tag on a label printed or written with plain black ink pasted on the package. "2. If there are any old marks on the package they should be throughly obliterated. Xo pack age should le sent to the express company with two marks thereon, even though !oth marks are the same. One mark is enough. ';. If there are two places of the same name in the same S;ate, always put the name ol the county on the package. When you send a package to a city always give the full address of the consignee, the steeet and number. It is always well to send a letter by I'nited States mail, advising the consignee that you have sent a package by express. "4. Do not pack in one box one class ot matter that might injure another class. ''."). Remember that glass will not carry without breakage unless properly packed. If you send a glass of jelly in a package of nice dress goods and the glass breaks you will spoil your goods. "i. Wheu shipping always tell the receiving clerk what the (value is, so that such care may be given to it as its value may require. "7. Do not put any money or valuables whatever into a freight package." A White Partridge. In the early pail ol this week, a gentleman residing at .Moiitinorenci killed a snow white partridge so tar as known the only one ever heard of by residents ol tins city or section. The bird was seen in a covey ul ordinary partridges near Moiitinor enci, by Mr. Louie Mills, who chanced to have his gun with him. The other birds Hew when Mr. Mills came near them, but the white one lett his companions and took refuge under some bushes. In this way Mr. Mills got a shot at it. and succeeded in bagging the most peculiar bird ever seen here. It is presumed that the white partridge is a hybrid, and it was probably the instinct of some other bird which caused it to hide rather than take its chances in the air, as being white would make it peculi arly susceptible to the sportsman's gun. Only one feather on the bird had the color of a partridge. The white partridge had been seen several times by hunters a round Montmorenci, but it remain ed for Mr. Mills to bag it. Mr. Reg Courtney owns the bird and he ex pects to have it tnouuted by a tax erdimist. Aiken Journal For a Lnnie Back.
