OLDER EGNpT

In the Anthropologica sections of
the British Association, Professor
Flinders Petrie gives an account of
the principal discoveries which dur
ing the last five years had revealed the
rise of Egyptian civilization. At Kop-
tos, Nagada and Hieracoupolis various
excavations had revealed remains be-
longing to the ages before 1000 b. C.,
which had hitherto been the starting
point of known history. 1t began
with the Libyan stock, which with
some meagre admiXture, occupied
Egypt in its earliest civilization. Some
of the objects found at Nagada could
now be safely assigned to the pure
dynastic stock about 5000 b. c.. and
earlier. Next came the earliest dynas-
tic remains, and lastly the most i'm
portant monuments of the civic life
of the early kings found this year at
Hierocoupois. These showed the
kings in triumph over their enemies,
receiving captive kings, and opening
the public works for retaining the
marshes. We had at last before us
the development of the art, and civil
ization of Egypt, and the composition
of race which had maintained its
character during 6.000 years.

THEY TALK TEMPERANCE
COMMITTEE OF THE Y. NJ. c. \
WANT PROHIBITION.
President Dole Tallls-Resolution to
be Prepared and Sent to Congress
on the Subject

There was strong prohibition sem
timent in the temperance meeting at
the Y. NJ. c. 4. hall last evening. Pro-
fessor Theodore Richards, Rev. G.. l..
Pearson, Rev. r. ID. Garvin and others
leaned strongly to that extreme as
the best end to strive for.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of memoralizing Congress on the
subject the assumption being that
this question may be taken up along
with others when laws for Hawaii
are being considered
President Dole hardly thought the
resolution would effect much. He re
marked that this Congress would be
over-burdened with business and that
it would probably not have the time
nor the patience to consider the mat
ter it was sought to present. Then,
| again. might it not be best and safest
to have the traffic in the hands of our
selves? Prohibition might not work
the disepnsary system might be found
impractcable to local conditions. In
! such case local option might prove Il
valuable safe guard.
The meeting desired to express it.
self. There was a place for the memo
rial. The ideas of the community
should be placed on record.
On motion the temperance commit
tee of the Association and three other
gentlemen were appointed to draft Il
set of resolutions and present them to
a special meeting of the committee to
be held at , o'clock next Saturday af-
| ternoon. This makes the full com
mittee as follows: c. b. Ripley. F. ].

CANNED FRUIT.

1t is a singular fact that we are in
debted to Pompeii for the great indus
try of canned fruits, says an exchange.
Years ago, when the excavations were
just beginning, party of Americans
found, in what had been the pantry
of a house many jars of preserved figs.
One was opened and they were found
to be fresh and good. Investigation
showed that the figs had been put in
to the jar in a heated state, an aper-
ture left for the steam to escape and
then sealed with wax. The hint was
taken, and the next year fruit can
ming was introduced in the United
States. the process being identical
with that in vogue in Pompeii twenty
centuries ago. The old ladies in Anne
RIGA who can tomatoes and peaches
for domestic use do not realize that
they are indebted for this art to a
people who were Utterly ashes but a
few years after Christ. There is
nothing new under the sun. Canned
tomatoes and loaded dice-the people
of Pompeii had both.

Campaign of Abuse and Doodle.


In the sixth district Sam w. Jur-
den, the Holden banker, is making
strenuous efforts to reduce Cor.
greesman DeArmond's plurality.
This is the district in which Kerens
and his lieutenants have made spe-
cial efforts to encompass the defeat
of DeArmond. Jurden was sent as
a delegate to the national convention
at st Louis and there cast his vote
for Kerens. For this Jurden was
selected as the deputy president in
the sixth district, and ali questions
as to the distribution of patronage
were left to hun. Throughout the
district Filleyites were turned down
It made no difference as to their in
dorsements Only the Jurden rec
ommendation went with the patron
age distribution.
As result there is much disSatis-
faction in the party ranks. Jurden s
nomination was taken as a direct
slap at the disappointed pie seeker s,
and Kerens pointed out the. fact
that he had been vindicated by the
republicans throughout the district.
Through the assistance of E. f.
Kellogg, now collector of the reve-
nue. in Kansas City, Jurden was able
to land the nomination fer congress
although he was personally unpopu'
lar with a majority OF the repubii-
cans.
Jurden immediately began an ag-
gressive campaign. He has visited
every town in the district and in
several has made the rankest kind
of campaign speeches. All of them
tesm with abuse of DeArmond
Kerens has set aside a large portion
of the Hanna flush fund to aid Jur-
den in recognition of his vote at St
Louis. In all the counties the cam
paign of Doodle has begun and the
supply is said in total to run up into
the thousands. With this Doodle
Jurden hopes to carry the district
against DeArmoud who is making q
clean cavass. The cry OF the Filley-
ties in the district has been stifed
in most instances by threats and
promises.
