EGYPTIAN PROGRESS.
Natives Destroying and Carrying or His

Natives Destroying and Carrying OF His
torica1 Monuments.
Egypt is not at a standstill at present.
it is moving faster, for better or for
worse, than it ever moved before. And
this is true OF its antiquities as well as
of other things; the ancient cities are
being in the present day dug away and
their earth spread on the ground as
fertilizer; and this is going on at such
a rate that some have almost entirely
disappeared already and fields of corn
have taken their place, others are di-
minished to half the size they were
generation or two back and are still
diminishing every day. And the time
does not seem very far distant when
scarcely site of a city will be
able to be identified. Certainly
Egypt will have exhausted its an
tiquity fields before England ex-
hausts its coal fields. And up the Nile
tombs are opened every year, and
fewer left to be discovered. In one
sense we are only just beginning to ex-
plore Egypt, and the treasure seems to
us inexhaustible, but that is only be-
cause of the puny scale of our attack
from the scientific side; in another and
terrible true sense Egypt is exhausti1g
itself, the natives are ceaselessly Dig
ging, and unless we look to it pretty
quickly the history of the country will
have perished before our eyes, by the
destructive activity Of its inhabitants.
Never before has that land of monu-
ments been so fiercely worked on, daily
and hourly the spoils of ages past are
ransacked, and if of marketable value
itre carried off; but whether preserved
or not is of small matter compared
with the entire loss of their connection
and history which always results in this
way. If we are not to incur the curse
If posterity for our vandalism and in
ertness, we must be up and doing in

is also largely used to mix with soft
clay for the making Of inferior bricks,
and we have ascertained that it is also
used for more unsightly adulteration.
The composition with which many of
the cheaply run-up houses are smoothed
over and made to appear ornamental,
is very freely mixed with road-dust.
The evil of this we speedily see in the
green stains with which all such struc-
lures are disfigured, such green stains
being nothing more than vegetation
that occurs in all damp spots and finds
its support in this surreptitious dust.
Thus the grimy scavenger and chill
women" perform valuable part in the
world. By their aid we return to the
exhausted fields the riches the towns
have drawn from them; and they arrest
from speedy destruction a score of valu-
able products and set them once more
in circulation in the busy world

HER HISTORY.
The Story of a Woman's Life Read From
Some CrumbIed Keepsakes.

The Story of woman's Life Read From
Some Crumbled Keepsakes.
A woman from her earliest conscious
ness inclines to reminiscence. As she
grows up she stamps each notable
adventure and each pleasant friendship
upon her mind by some token. Our
dime museums, with their meager col
lection of odds and bits, would pale
into nothingness when compared with
the bottom drawer of a girls bureau.
This she generally devotes to her keep
sakes. At five she begins storing it
with horse-chestnuts and broken bits
of colored pencils given her by dear.
friends. Some of these are the mysteries
of the secrets which are the life of
childhood's freemasonry. By ten she
has a. gold-piece, generally bestowed
by bachelor uncle, and perhaps some
tokens from friends that are dead.
There are pressed four-leaved clovers,
pin-cushions with geological tendencies,
gray-fannel rabbits and such, a few
carefully-preserved valentines, some
bottles that once held perfumery and
now present only fadingrecollection
to the nostrils. At seventeen she has
some faded violets, some locks of hair,
few scraps of dried orange-peel, a
collection ofdancing programmes, and,
carefully tucked in the furthermost
corner, bundle of notes tied with a
blue ribbon. AS the years pass still the
treasures increase. By and by the
wedding slippers are laid away in the
drawer which holds the valentines,
and still, as the years pass, comes a
pair of the wee'st shoes kicked out at
heel, and silken curl, which shows a
silvery gold in the light. After this
the keepsakes are fewer, aad are oftener
the souvenirs of sad days than of glad
ones. Finally, after long time, some
one lays away in the drawer thumbed
red testament, with lock of gray hair
and thread-thin wedding ring. Then
the drawer is locked. Boston Globe.

.'Why, Mr.. Smith, how do you do? It

up to Jones, who was rather a rustic
