rAvoritcs- Canaanites and Bedouins must often
have besn enlisted for tho intrenched camp at
Avsris. lnvasiqns, famines. civil wars. all
seem to have consplrcd to drive into EGYPT not
only Isolated individuals, but whole families
and tribes. The family OF tribe of the Benz
Israel. who entered tho country about this time.
has since acquired q unique position In the
worlds history. They belonged to that race of
Semitic extraction which wo know. BY monu-
ments and traditions, to have been scattered in
ancient times along tho westorn shores OF the
Persian Gulf and on tho banks OF the Euphra-
les Those situated nearest to ChAldea and to
the sea led, apparently. a settled exist
enco; they had been civilized from very early
times; they cultivated tho soil. and employed
themselves in industries aud commerce Other
tribes OF the same family occupied tho interior
OF tho continent; they lived In tents. and de-
lighted In the rowing life Of nomads. A COM
paratively ancient tradition relates that tho
Hebrews arrived In Egypt during tho reign Of
"Aphobis," Hyksos king. doubtless ono Of the
Apophl. and. possibly. the monarch who restored
the monuments OF the Theban Pharaohs. and
engraved his name on tue sphinxes OF the great
rovereigns OF the twelfth dynasty. Tho land
which the Hebrews obtained Ia that which,
down 10 the present day, is most freq uently
visited By nom ads. who md there an uncertain
hospitality. Tho tribes OF tho Isthmus OF Suex
are now. In fact consts atty shifting from
one continent to another. and their encamp-
rnents In any place are merely temporary. Tho
lord OF tho soil must, II ho desires to keep them
within his borders, treat them with tho greatest
prudence and tact. Should the Government
dispiease them in any way. or appear to curtail
their liberty, they pack up their tents and take
flight into the desert. The district occupied by
them one day is. on tho next, vacated. snd left
TO desolAtion. Maspero believes 1t probable
that the same state of things existed in
ancient tunes, and that the border homes on
the east Of tho Delta were in turn ,nhaoited
or deserted by the Bedouins OF the period.
The towns were few In number. but q
series OF forts protected tho frontier.

Bearing in mind the date Just mentioned. tho
twenty fourth century b. c.. We can SEQ that, at
that epoch. Egypt, separated from tho confines
of tho Babylonian empire by only 4 narrow
isthmus, loomed on tho western horizon of the
Chaldoan ruler, and appeared TO beckon 10 her
rival. Her natural fertility. the industry OF her
Inhabitants, tho stores Of gold and perfumes
which she received from the heart OF Ethiopia,
were well known through the p'..Ngo 10 and fro
other caravans and the recollection OF her treas
ures must have frequently provoked tho envy OF
Asiatic courts. In their eyes she seemed un-
doubtedly a kind OF FL Dorado. Egypt had, how
ever. strangely declined from her former power,
ana the line of princes who now governed her
had littls In common with tho Phnraohs who
had rendered her name formidable under tho
twelfth dynasty. Sho was now under the rule
OF the Notes fourteenth dynasty whose inhu-
ence was probably confined to tho Delta, and
extended merely In name over the Said and
Nubia. The feudal lords. always ready to
reassert their Independence as soon as the cen.
trail power wnned, shared between them tho
possession OF the Nile Valley below Memphis;
the Princes of Ihebe.. who were probably de-
scendants OF Usirtasen, owned the largest net-
dom. and, although some slight scrupls may
have prevented them from assuming the spe-
cihc insignia OF royalty, they put forward.
nevertheless, claims TO tho substance OF royal
power. A favorable opportunity was thus nre-
sented to an invader, and the ChaideAns. might
have attacked with impunitya people go divided
among themselves. They stopped short, how
ever, at the southern frontier OF Syria, or. II
they pushed further westward. II was without
any important results. Distance from head
quarters, or. possibly. reiterated attacks OF the
Elamites upon Mesopotamia, prevented them

They made their lives bitter with hard
bondage In mortar and In brick, and
In all manner of service In tho field"
Naturally, the unfortunate serfs awaited
only All opportunity to escape from the cruelty
OF their prosecutors. Eventually. As we know
from tho Scrlptursl account, the Hebrews. or, at
least, those OF them who dwelt In the Delta,
made their escape from their oppressors. and
took refuge In the solitudes NJ Arabia. A large
number OF accr edited historians concur in be-
lioving that this exodus took place In tho reign
OF Menephtah, and Prot. Maspero points out
that the evidence of the triumphal inscrip-
tions lately discovered by Prof. Petrie seems
TO confirm this view, for II relates that the
people OF lsrsilu wero destroyed and had no
longer . coed. Tho context indicates pretty
clearly that these El.t-eated Israilu were, at
tho time when the inscription was made. 'ome-

HORSE WAS WORTHLESS,

How SWsde AstOuished q Claim Agent
in Settlement for Dead Horse.
Last week a Burlington freight train
struck horse near Grafton and the
animal was killed as dead as 6 smelt.
The engineer of the train promptly
wired a report Of the accident and the
Burlington claim agent hasteneS to
Grafton to square the matter. The
agent learned that the horse had be-
longed to an old Swede farmer named
Peterson and at once drove out to see
him about it.
"Mr. Peterson" remarked the claim
agent, II have come ont here to settle
with you for the horse that was killed
by one of our engines. 1 have learned
that your horse was a very breschy an
imal and that it jumped the right Of
way fence and wandered upon our
track. Now, Mr.. Peterson, we could
get into court and prove 'contributary
negligence, malicious tTespass,' and
breach Of the peace on the part Of
your horse, but We do not care to have
any litigation. We are willing to set
tie this matter out Of court if possible"
SAY tank We max settlement pooty
quick, " said the old farmer. "Ay ban

The claim agent was thunderstruck.
"Pay Us for killing your hOrse?" he ex-
claimed.
SAY tank you earn dat money"
"Mr. Peterson" said the claim agent
in an awe-struck tone of voice, SHAT is
the first worthless horse the Burling-
ton railroad ever killed. It has always
been our misfortune to kill Morgans
Hambletonians, Clydesdales and Per-
cherons. With Jour permission I will
