THE TEMPLE OF HATHoR.
One of the Ancient Buildings of Egypt ant
Very Well Preserved

Very wen Preserved.
We steamed two hours one morning
on the Nile and after an early breakfast
rode ON donleys about three miles to
the famous temple of Hathor, the Egyp-
tian Aphrodite at Derderah. This tom
pie wss built just before the Christian
ira by one of the Ptolelnies, and the porch
was added by Tiberius. Though built
by Greek and Roman emperors, it is
essentially Egyptian ia architecture and
decoration, and as it was the first OF
the great temples that we had seen we
wero worry much impressed. 1t stands on
the borders of the desert and the ver-
dant plain, surrounded by the ruins of
an old town, the debris of which, to-
gethor with the blowing sands, rise sew
eral feet above its foundations. Tho
temple is very we'll preserved Its porch.
the latest part, is a noble hall, support
ed by "a columns about s feet in diam
eter and 40 feet high, the capitals pre-
senting colossal faces of Hathor on four
sides. Every foot of the surface, outside
and in, is covered with sculpture, which,
though of the period of decadence, iS
still striking because of the amount of
it,
The main temple behind the porch
consists of four central chambers and
some 20 others, each of which had its
use The faces on nearly all the figures
have been mutilated by iconoclastic Mo-
hammedans or Christians. On the ex-
terror of the wall in the rear, among
other figures are Cleopatra and her son
CRsarion, whose father was Julius
Caesar This representation of the IA
nous Egyptian queen, though contempt
raneous, scarcely justities the tradition
Of her beauty. Near by is small tenn
pie Of Isis, and another which seems to
have had some connection with the tenn
pie Of Hathor. The town of Tentyris
stood here. Tho Tentyrites hated the
crocodiles which the people of neighbor
ing Ombos worshiped, and a religious
war Of great fury was carried ON be-
tween tho two places. If there must be
religious wars, they may as well be over
crocodiles as over dogmas which nobody
knows the truth of. The ruins of Ten
tyris are mainly Of brick, baked and
unbaked. The temples are Of lime
stone. Some of the stones forming the
roof are "a feet long and feet wide.
The whole construction is massive. In
side are traces Of color which must have
greatly added to the beauty. At Den
derah we are not far from the Libyan
hills, but our course takes us away from
them toward the Arabian side as we

Fifty Feet of Rainfall Annually.

There is always more or less guess
work concerning the amount of rain that
falls during any storm period. Through
out the United States the amount that
falls on any one day rarely exceeds one
inch. There are certain portions of the
globe, however, that are frequently, and
others only occasionally, deluged with
water. On the southern slopes of the
Himalaya mountains, at an altitude Of
4, 500 feet, 610 inches Of rainfall have
been registered in a single year, of
which amount 147 inches (12 feet 8
inches) fell in the month Of June At q
meteorological station i'll latitude IS
degrees, near the western boundary Of
Hindustan, the average rainfall for the
10 years ending with 1898 was 1854
inches. IL the northwestern part of Eng
land at an altitude of 1900 feet, the
average annual rainfall is 146 inches,
III inches in excess Of the mean for St
Louis, which is but 81 inches and 4
fraction.
The wonderful record given above is
still more phenomenal when wo CON

atmosphere is capable of holding at any
one time would cover the entire surface

grove, small station on the Panhandle
railroad five miles east of Hartford City.
One day last September the railroad
bridge crossing the stream which runs
through MIR. Pcrsonett' & farm caught fire
and was destroyed. Little Jennie was
the only one at homo at tho time and
the only one who saw the fire. The west
bound passenger train was due, and tho
girl knew that if it was not stopped a
terrible catastrophe would result. So
she ran to the railroad track, and when
she reached it she heard the roar Of the
approaching train Thoroughly fright
ened at the threatened danger to the pas
sengers, the little girl yet had tho pres
ence of mind to snatch off her red fam
mel petticoat and run up the track wav.
ing the garment aloft, as she had seen
brakemen do with their flags.
The engineer saw her and at once re-
versed his engine. The train rushed by
Jennie, but stopped within 100 feet Of
the edge Of theastream.
The passengers swarmed out of the
cars to find how narrow their escape had
been, and when they found that they
owed their deliverance to the timid lit
tie girl, who yet chung to her little petit
coat, they almost overpowered her with
caresses. They made up handsome
purse for her on the spot, and the Pan
handle company few days later pre-
sented her with tickets which enabled
her and the Personnel family to visit the
Worlds fair free Of expense.
Most of the passengers on the train
were bound for Chicago, and it is sup
posed that among them were some
Frenchmen connected with the Society
of Humanity in Paris.
She has been appraised of the society's
intention to present her with medal,
and she regards the honor with all the
modesty that could be expected of a
child of her years. Hartford City Qnd.l

Progressive Drawing.

Progressive drawing" is a good
game. Each child has "a pencil. The
leader has big sheet Of foolscap paper.
He starts off by drawing straight line
about inches long in the middle of
this sheet
The second player draws another line
inches long, joining it to the first line
at one or other of the two ends. The
third player then adds line Of equal
length and joins it to the other at any
angle to suit himself in the manner that
he considers the most funny.
By the time four or five lines have
been added some one sees that queer
looking figure is being made, and then
the lines are placed at every conceivable
angle, each trying to add to the fun.
Wonderful creatures are thus created

No Dirty Hands.

When the pupils in the primary room
of the Ogden school assemble, in a
pretty little song they say good morning
to each other and their teacher. Then
another song is sung:
Raise your hands if they are clean,
BY your teacher to be seen.
Sparkle, sparkle, clean and pure,
Dirty hands we can't endure.
And 30 pairs of little hands are held
out for inspection. If all are not clean
and pure
Oh, who comes to our little school
They must learn to keep the rule;
Wash their face and hands with care.
And that's just what the little ones
who have been thoughtless go straight
way and do. Then
Sparkle, sparkle, clean and pure,
Dirty hands we can't endure.

PARDON DOCKET CLEAR.
a Total of Ell Applications Passed
Upon by Gov. Northen Since He Be-
come Governor.

come Governor. e
Atlanta, Ca, Oct 20-For the first time
that there is any record of, the pardon
docket of the executive office stands
without a case upon it awaiting action.
Gov. Northen late this afternoon passed
upon the last application on the docket,
and at the same time issued the last par
don order that he will issue as governor
of Georgia, unless perchance he should be
called to the executive chair again in the
future. He will not receive any new appli-
cations on account of the fact that he is
required to report all cases to the legis-
lature and his message will go to the
printer Monday. Any petitions for Glenn
ency that may come into the office here
after viii have to find their fate at the
hands of Gov. Atkinson. When Gov
Northen was inducted into office four
years ago, he found about 800 applica-
tions for pardon stacked up in the eXecu-
tive department, awaiting consideration.
Up to his administration it was the COM
mon thing for every governor, to leave
his Successor a list of pardons to pass
upon, but Gov. Atkinson will get the
office with no such handicap on his
shoulders.
During his term Gov. Northen has dis
posed of 67l pardon cases, granting some
and refusing others, OF this number 26S
