they do not understand 1t frequently hap
pens that, after student has described an
object under the microscope in what be con-
siders fine scientific language, he admits
that he does not understand the structure Of
the object at all, but, on making him start
over again and describe it in plain English,
he finds that II all comes out clearly enough
1t is evident, for instance, that, so long as
Q student thinks he must call all round

Twenty thousand Cubic Meters Of Sand
To BE Cleared dAway-Protection.
1t will be good news for autiquaries to learn
that at last an effort is being made to disinter
the Sphinx Some forty feet Of the figure
are still above the surface, but all save the
head and neck are covered, and we only
know what lies beneath from the description
of travellers like Salt and Caviglin, who e1-
anined it before the sands had submerged
the body of the figure. Even then, nearly
seventy years ago, it was only by great lafor
that the excavators could manage to make
out the details they have supplied, and, in
spite of their efforts, the desert drift was
constantly encroaching on the cleared space
Since that date nothing has been done
Every year has added to the accumulations,
and so steadily has the work of interment
been going on that visitors after an absence
of twenty or thirty years noticed sensible
change in the amount Of debris piled up
around the Sphinx, Indeed, if something Is
not done, the chances are that before long the
monument which divides with the pyramids
themselves the interest of every intelligent
traveller viii be entirely swallowed Up. This
has been the fate of many similar architect
ural remains in its close proximity.
The work Of exhumation is intrusted tc
Brugsch Bey, brother Of the distinguished
archeologist, who will carry out a plan
formed by Sig. Maspero. About 10000 cubic
metres Of sand must be cleared away. To eI-
pedite this task Little tramway has been
constructed ard $50 laborers are engaged for
the more mechanical portion OF the toll.
About Easter the work is expected to beco

QUESTIONS.

We question of the silence vast,
OF souls that people distant spheress
What Of their future and their past,
Have they our sorrows, joys and fearsi
Do the same flowers make glad their sightf
The same birds singi On their great seaa
Do ships like OURS, with canvas white,
Move stately, answering the breezef
Have they thar Christ, their Christmas day
Know they Mahometi Buddhai One,
Or all, or monet And do they pray!
And have they wrought a. we have donei
We cannot guess; It's hard indeed,
Our own orb's tale Of its dim pass
Through centuries untold to read,
And who its future shall forecast
We know the hand that holds in check
The whirling worlds, each in its course,
And saves the universe from wreck
And peril. This tremendous Force
Holds likewise all our little lives;
The suns and stars do all obey
His bidding; never planet strives
To swerve from its appointed way.
The dangerous boon alone to Us
Is given, to choose 'twixt i'll and well,
Rebellion or obedience; thus
To build our heaven, Or dig our hell.
But one great thought our strength upholds
Nothing shall perish. Though His rod
Smites sore, His mercy still enfolds
His own: Gods souls are safe with God.

And tie watss below look dark and desp
WHARF ths rugged pine, In its lovely prids
Leans gloomily over The murky tide;
Wharf The reeds and rushss are long and
rank,
And the weeds grow thick On the winding
bank,
WHARF the shadows ars hsavy ths whols day
through,
There lies at its mooeing Tie old eanoa
Ths useless paddles are idly dropped
Like sea birds wings that ths storm has
Topped
And crossed on the railing, one DER one,
Like the folded hands when the work i
done;
While busily back and forth between
The soldier watches his silver screen;
And the solemn owl, with his dull too hoo,
Settles down on the side Of the old canoa
The stern half sunk in the Shiny wave
Rots slowly away in its living grave,
And the green mos creeps DER its dull
decay,
Hiding its mouldering dust away,
Like the hand that plants o'er the tomb q
flower,
Or the ivy that mantles the falling tower;
While many q blossom Of loveliest hue
Springs up DER the stern Of the old canoa.
The currentles waters ara dead and STILL
But the Light winds play with the boat at
will,
And lazily in and out again
1t floats the length Of the rusty chain,
Like the weary march of the hands of time,
That meet and part at the nocnday chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turning
BY the dripping bow Of the OLD canoe

CHARLES eesERT cRApDocK.


w. ID. Howelis' Account Of His First Mee.-
ing with the Now Famous Writer.
". d. Howells, the novelist, is in the city.
He has come here, he says, for rest and recre-
alton He will probably remain month
l met him the other morning and talked
with him for over an hour. In the course
Of tho conversation asked him what hs
thought Of Miss Murfree, whose sketches
over tho nom de plume Of Charles Egbert
Craddock have attracted such Widespread
attention of late years He replied that
the girl was genius, and her.futlre very
promising one
Il remember" said he, her first consri-
button to the Atlantic. The manuscript
was sent to me for examination I read it
with great pleasure I am greatly mis-
taken, said to myself, il here is not a new
star in the literary armament l glanced
a. the signature, II. y. Murree The chirog-
raphy was bold and masculine Some
clever young barrister, again soiioquized,
trying to exc out q scanty income by devot-
ing his leisure hours to magazine work
Whereupon wrote n n. Murree, telling
him it was an injustice TO himself to print .
production OF 50 high an order anonymously,
and that while Charles Egbert Craddock, as
pseudonym, was very pretty and all that,
it would be better to make known his iden-
tity from the start The answer, which came
o few days later, said there were family
reasons why it was not advisable to disclose
the authors identity then, but that this
would probably be done at some future
6ma
MY first meeting with Miss Murfree
was very droll," continued Mr.. Howells,
It'll koa arfx hoa t,s.1,

day Osgood dropped in at my library.
'Craddock's in town. said he He will
dine with ne tonight Can't you Join US
at dinnerr ! told Osgood had an engage
ment for that night, but would surely put
in an appearance if only for few minutes
You see, it had never occurred to any o. us
that 'Craddock' was no. q man, and had
