Recent Discoveries of the Worlds Oldest
Jewelry.
1t is to Mr.. ]. de Morgan, the anti.
quarian explorer and historian of the
Caucasus, and now director of the i'm
portant excavations at Dashour. near
Memphis, in Egypt, that we owe the dis
covery of what must at present be ac-
counted the Oldest specimens of the jew
eler's art known to exist. Until his
| first find Of last year the most aucient
pieces of jewelry known were those dis.
covered by NJ Maristte, that had once
belonged to Queen Aahotep, mother OF
the King Amosis of the eighteenth dy-
nasty, who lived about 100 b. G. OF
the best and earliest period of Egyptian
| art, preceding the domination of the
shepherd kings, nothing was known save
from the carvings and paintings in the
ancient tombs. Futile attempt has beep
made by M. Maspero in 1884. and before
him by a Mr.. Perring, to discover the
secret entrance to the burial chambers OF
the most northern of the two brick pyra-
mids at Dashour. Mr.. de Morgan was
more successful, and has brought to
specimens of jewelry that we may now
| be said to possess oomplets knowledge
| If the art as it was before the time OF
Abraham, which, according to the most
received chronology, was about 23(0 years
| before Christ, while tie dates to be as
signed to these finds range from the
| reig of Amenemhat II. who began to
rule 2714 B. c., to that of Ameuemhat
Ill, who died B. G. 2578.
! The period was for Egypt one of ex-
pansion and conquest. The urruly tribes
of the Soudan and of Sinai were brought
into subsection, and were compelled to
pay tribute of gold and gems. Much
later we learn from Inscriptions th at
even Assyria was Obliged to forward to
Egypt quantities of iapis-lazuli and
other stones. In the Dashour jewels lapis-
lazuli, turquoise, carnelisn and the
Egyptian emerald are most frequently
used, and all except the latter came most
likely from countries beyond the borders
of Egypt. They were used for engraved
beads. which were strung into neck laces,
bracelets and netted breastplates of the
richest effect; but We're besides set in
solid gold wrought into oloisonne-like
compartments to receive the stones,
which were cut to the shapes demanded
by the design. One of the most beauti-
full of these jewels of gold and inlaid
stones is the breatsplate bearing the
cartouche of Ousrtasen II. The royal
| oartouche with the beetle (signifyine
Immortality, and other signs. is sup.
ported by two crowned hawks, banded
with turquoise and cranelian. The
sacred asp is coiled over the back Of eaot
| hawk, bearing on its neck the "tau,,
another emblem Of immortality.

architectural character. In addition to
this breastplate and that of Amenem

of Queen
NOUB-HOTEP'S NECKLACE,
in the form of hawks heads of solid gold

on the breastplate reads

Rough Treatment Of Good Citizen.
]. W. Belew, one OF our best citizens
and most successful gardeners, met with
a dangerous and very unpleasant expert
ence at Pueblo last week. He had taken
load of sweet potatoes there for sale
and while on the streets one evening
about 7:3O O'Clock was accosted by a
young man, a stranger, named Roy VAL
lert. vallert told him he had just been
held up and asked Belew to 20 with him
TO find an officer and report the matter.
As the two were walking along seeking
an officer two men approached, one
armed with a pistol, the other with a
Winchester. Mr.. Bellows companion
thought he recognized the armed men
as the ones who had robbed him. He
was somewhat ratified by reason OF his
late experience and started to run. The
man with the Winchester took after him
while the fellow with the pistol opened
Ore on Mr. Belew. After being shot
through the hand Mr.. Below thought il
best to get out Of range Of the pistol and
he started TO run. He was followed and
three more shots fred at him, mono oi
which, however. took effect. An officer
soon corraled all parties and took them
to the City Hall where an explanation oi
the afYair took place. 1t seems that two
hold ups occurred but few minutes
apart. One OF the two men who assault
ed Below and his companion had been
robbed and after securing arms started
out to find the thieves. Seeing Mr.. Be-
lew and vallert they mistook them for
the robbers and opened fire. On close
examination Of Mr.. Belew tho decision
was that he was not the man who did the
tho robbing. This decision was made
very positive by the victim Of the rob
berry finding no smell of liquor on Mr. i:
Belew's breath, the fellow who robbed
him being well soaked with whiskey.
Mr.. Belew was compelled to secure as.
sistance in making his sales OF produce
and returned last Saturday. The bal
from the pistol passed through his right
hnnd but rs no bones were fractured the
chances are good for speedy recovery.
