Latest Find of Christian ecords.

Upper Egypt, thanks chiefly to the
climate, is the happy hunting ground
where alone hopes of discovering Chris
tian records and lest classical frag-
ments may still be entertained, al
though the field is not inexhaustible.
Messrs. 3. p. Greenfell, of Queen g col
lege, and Mr.. S. A. Hunt, of Wadham
college, Oxford, were working for four
months last season on behalf of the
Egypt Exploration fund at Behnesa
the ancient Oxyrhynchus. Behnesa is
some 120 miles south of Cairo, on the
borders of the Libyan desert. The ex-
cavators employed upwards Of 120 men
and boys, who where closely superin-
tended by the Oxford explorers. The
mounds of the ancient town consisted
mainly of rubbish heaps, in which
papyri were mixed up with broken
pottery, ashes, etc. The treasures were
not far down-in one place papyri were
so close to the top that they could be
discovered by kicking up the surface.
1t is long since so rich haul
has been made. No less than twenty
four large packing cases were filled
with the papyri found. These papyri
range from the Roman conquest to
early Arab times, and consist of sam
Piles of pretty well everything thai peo-
pie used to write in those early days.

A MINERS DAY IN ALASKA.
There are Many of THIN and one is as
Chilly and Drear as the Other.

| III as UuC OtucIs
The miners who returned laden with
yellow treasure from the gold fields Of
Alaska on the steamer Portland are
wise as we'll as lucky.
Those who remained behind will
have tale of suffering and privation
to tell the beygars description.
The miner by profession and choice
is usually hardy, rugged fellow, built
to cope with the haroships nature i'm
poses in her iercest mood. The ma
jority of the people who are now flock
ing to the promised land in spite of all
warnings are neither prepared by con-
stitutiOn or requirement to vegetate
| nine months out of a year in an Arctic
zone, away from civilization, deprived
not of luxuries, but of actual necessi-
ties. Death loses it's terror amidst
attractions. The bare hope of future
wealth is the only oil that floats the
wick of existence.
With the 18th OF August rain begins
| to fall along the western side of the
mountains, while on the eastern side
winter sets in in dead earnest. By the
middle of Septem Der all outdoor work
stops and the people on the Yukon re-
treat to their abodes like the snail to
it's house
AS in all mining camps these print
tive log structures are built in the.
most favorable spot of the settlement,
sheltered from the wind and snowdrifts.
A site close to the river is chosen to
obtain the ice which is melted for
drink. From eight to dozen men live
in one hut.
The miners bed is on the ground,
which is covered with branches of fl
and cypress. His fur coat wrapped
over his boots serves as pillow, and
his body is wrapped in thick heavy
blankets.
To accommodate a dozen miners in |
one of these cabins two or three hunks |
made of rough boards are set above
each other around the timbered walls.
No pillow of down caresses the cheek,
no spring mattress gives ease and COM
fort to the cramped limbs. To the
miner by trade th1s is no handicap to
existence. The tenderfoot is likely to
after the first month. This
lying curled up in ones bunk is not
only the occupation of the night, but
Of the entire day for weary weeks and
months. And the days are SO long,
aud pastime so limited!
What if the tobacco gives out and
The pipe is empty? A mans last and
only comfort is gone. Gambling with
lice and cards becomes monOtOnous
when tn at is all that can be done, eX-
,ept keeping the sluggish blood warm
enough to course through the veins.
The miner builds his fireplace in the |
middle of his cabin. A square hole is l
lug in the ground, two poles are erect s
ID on each side with a wire rod {
tretched across to hang the kettle on
nd funnel-shaped hood hanging l
own from an opening in the roof f
hrough which the smoke, or at least
portion of it, can escape. Rolled
as, beans, flour and tea are his staple {
pod. This is about all good miner T
,ill take along, for its just what he I
