NEW DISCOVERY IN EGYPT.
Remains OF an Unknown Race Whs
Flourished 5000 Years Ago.

Elourished 5000 Years Ago.
The report OF the discovery by Prot.
Flinders Petrie Of the remains Of a dis
itinctly new race of people in Egypt is
by 10 means startling news to those
who have followed at all the series of
Psychological surprises, says the Phila-
,deiphia Record. The soil of Egypt
probably holds as great if not greater
wonders than those already unearthed.
While Egypt was not the cradle of man
kind, nor even of civilization, its an
Equities are of more interest TO human
ity than those of almost any other
country. The Nile witnessed the great
secrets of the dawn Of the historic
world. OF the Egyptians themselves
3 the origin is still wrapped in inscruta-
bic mystery. That they were absolute
~ distinct from the Ethiopian race has
long been known; that the primitive
/ Egyptians were Jewish or even Semitic
has not vet been established As for
Prof. Petrie's discovery, il relates to
comparatively later chapter In the ro-
mantle history of the land of the lotus
and papyrus, of Osiris and the Pyramids.
According to the belief of Prof
Petrie, the strange new people whose
bones and relics he has unearthed in
the district between Ballas and
Negadeh, thirty miles north of Thebes,
were most likely the funereal wit
nesses Of the cOnouerors who over
threw Egyptian civilization at the time
Of the Old Kingdom and produced tho
dark ages of the seventh and eighth
dyna5ties. They would thus have
flourished near Thebes about 5000 y.
C. Their pottery exhibits some
peculiar resemblances to that of the
Amorite period in Palestine. Again,
other evidences point westward to
Malta. The prominent aquiIine nose
and long pointed beard certainly
lend more plausibility to the Libyan
and Amorite hypothesis. The most
striking phase Of all, however, is
the condition of the remains, which
irresistibly suggests ceremonial can
nibalisn- The absence of all writing,
beyond mere personal marks, and the
rudeneSS of the attempt at drawing
and sculpture emphasize this feature,
while the knowledge evinced of metals
does not alter seriously the conviction
that the civilization of this dead and
long lost race was upon a low level, in
strong contrast to Egyptian civiliza-
ton. As Europe suffered an Asiatic
deluse in later history, SO it may yet
transpire that Egypt was flooded at
one time long before by the barbarians
Of Europe.

the sudden financial depression was
followed by the shutting down of SO
many factories and workshops, the
Chicago Women's club secured funds
and opened sewing-rooms where
women, were paid fifty cents day in
order TO relieve as much as possible the
want which was pressing. During the
time these emergency sewing-roOms
were conducted it become clear that
there was need Of lodging house for

At the west end of Lake Superior are

a long bay that is either completely or

the Youths Companion, the street car

novel conveyance for transporting pas
sengers between the two towns.
A cable road was resolved on, but the
road was as imaginary as the equator.

A careful record of everyone who a.

alone, almost destitute and friendless.
She was taken to the home and cared
for until she could care for herself.

who would otherwise be likely TO have
a most hapless time, is sent here until
