ANCIENT JEwELRY.
The Early Egyptians We're More Artistic
Than Their Descendants.

The Early Egyptians We're More Artist,
Than Their Descendants.
Among the richest Of recent archaeo.
logical discoveries are those afforded by
the opening of the two brick pyramids
at Dashur on the Nile, the most south
erly of the great chain of Memphian
! pyramids, and of some of the ancient
tombs surrounding them. The ex-
plorers found that the tombs had long
ago been plundered of most of the gold
and Jewels buried with the royal per
sonages for whom they were construct
ed. Fortunately, however, some of
those precious relics had escaped the
plunderers, being carefully concealed
in the tombs o. some Processes stu
ated on the north side of one of the
pyramids.
Here were unearthed three splendid
breast ornaments, beautifully worked
III gold, set with cornelian, lapis lazuli
and turquoise, and covered with human
figures and the curious insignia en-
ployed by the ancient Egyptians.
Nothing, perhaps, gives a greater in
terest to these specimens of iewelry
than the fact that they are far more
beautiful and artistic in their work.
manship than similar objects made by
the Egyptians at a much later time.
Although they are not less than 5000
years old, these Dashur Jewels are set
and finished in a manner that exeites
the admiration of our 10Th century |
experts.
Not less wonderful as a specimen of |
the artistic skill of the men who CON
structed the pyramids is a statue repre-
senting the king, Ra-Fou-Ab, at the
age of about IL years, which was found
in chamber near the sarcophagus
containing his mummified body. The
statue is carved out of hard, almost
black wood, with great attention 10
detail, every muscle being carefully
wrought, SO that anatomical experts
have pronounced it n remarkably cor
rect representation of the human fig-
lre.
1t is believed that many other not
ess interesting discoveries remain to
1e made among the tombs Of Dashur.-

A little boy in the course Of his read
ing lesson came to the word widow
and called it window" word more
familiar to him. The teacher, who was
acting as examiner, corrected the blum
der. and then, wishing to improve the
occasion, put the question: what is
the difference between widow and
window? The boys answer began
you can see through a window, but
and then stopped. The amusement
plainly visible on the teachers face
prevented this miniature Sam Weller
from completing the contrast.
Now, the blunder here, so far as it
was blunder, was entirely due to the

SHOULD THEY FIGHTg
Not England and the United
States.
Timely Reinforcements in the
Battle for Existence.


Battle for Existence.
Perhaps you have an answer for us
to this question all ready. And per-
haps we may disagree with you.
Listen to our side of the story. Is it
not terrible warfare which sweeps
from the face of the earth one-third of
all children under five years Of age ?
Yet this is the history of the great
struggle in which we are all engaged
the battle of life. Some children yield
at the first approach of disease, while
others make grand struggle for exist
ence. In this sense, then, we are all
agreed that children should be good
fighters. They can best fight disease
when they are hearty and strong.
We do not mean simply when they are
fat. Fat is not muscle. They need
strong bones, sound nerves and Arm
muscles. The natural food for all in
fants is milk The fat of this food,
the cream, exists in the milk as minute
globules, resembling in this respect
the minute globules of fat found in
Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with
Hypophosphites. There is also min
Emulsion as well. This preparation
looks like milk, and children soon be-
come fond of it. So many infants and
young children do not appear to derive
much benefit from their food. They
remain extremely thin, weak. do not in
crease in weight or height. They seem
to have some disease which is actually
wasting the body away. Their system
calls for food, and yet the food does
not nourish them. But food they must
have They also need some remedy
which will alter or change the action
of the organs of the body to healthy
activity. There are remedies which
naturally exist in cod-liver oil that
are capable of making this change.
For this reason they are called "alter-
atives." The hypophosphites are also
of service, as they strengthen the
nervous system, which is the great
seat of power. The poorly nournished
body calls for fatty food, such as the
fat of cod-liver oil These are the
reasons why SCOTS Emulsion has
proved so valuable to children. 1t re-
stores healthy action. 1t feeds. 1t
nourishes. Itsupplies needed material
to the growing body. We cannot state
too strongly the Importance of these
few early years to future health and
happiness. Children do not seem to
bear raw cod-liver oil we'll 1t is so
difficult to digest But the oil in
Seott's Emulsion has already been
digested, and is, therefore, in a condi-
ton to render prompt aid.
Scott's Emulsion contains more pure
Norwegian Cod-liver Oil than any other
emulsion in the world, that win stand
the test of time as being a perfect in
separable emulsion. Ask your doctor. |

the deciding vote, but, eN-
IS emergency, he is without
to affect legislation. While
dlSer of the house of representa-
lssigns all the representatives to
on committees. and in that way
/, ,irtually determines what legislation
shall be enacted, the vice president, not
being a member of the senate. has moth
ing to do with the formation of com
mittees. and is not even admitted to the
caucusses Of his party, in which. if that
party have majority, committee as
signments are determined and the
policy of the party is mapped out.
The patronage of the vice president
consists in the appointment of secre-
tary, messenger. n telegraph operator
and telegrapher's page. That is all.
! The presiding officer of the senate oc-
supies a handsome room, opening on
the senate lobby. aid he is accorded
all the respect which goes with his
high Office, the chief function of which
IS to preside over the deliberations of
the United States senate.
Because of the peculiar character Of
the duties of the vice president the
daily routine of his life is very different
from that of a United States senator.
His social life in Washington is just
what he chooses to make il. His invita-
tons would not be disregarded by any
one in official or social life here, but
whether he entertain much or little is a
matter purely within his own pleasure.
While certain social functions are a
part of the official duties of the presi
dent the vice president is free to enter
tain or not. as he sees fit. But the vice
president is sought by many visitors
TO the capital, and visitors from Illinois
especially do not like to leave Washing
ton without having sought an intro
duction to the vice president and the
man who is regarded as a presidential
possibility.
rhe duties of the vice president do
not require him to burn any midnight
oil in the consideration of public ques-
tons. He has ample opportunity to
keep himself informed on all matters
that come before congress by being q
good listener. and he has no occasion
to prepare any speech for delivery in
the senate. lie is relieved from all COM
mittee work. OF course, and even thu /
task of presiding over the senate IS
rendered an easy one because of the !
fact that that body is very docile one /
to govern. and is not frought with the
perplexing parliamentary problems /
that are constantly occurring in the
house of representatives. The fact
that the senate is so largely run by
courtesy" makes it an easy body to .
preside over. Perhaps no man con
nected with the United States senate
is so apt to be bored as is the vice pres
ident. Without power to influence leg
islation. his Office being such that even
any suggestion from him would be
apt to be regarded as an unwarranted
interference. he is yet obliged to at
tend the sessions of the senate daily,
and to recognize this or that one who
happens to have n bill or suggestion
