THE LAND OF GRAVES.

Ancient Egyptians BeileVeu IN tOn-
slant Reminders of Death.
TO the Egyptian death was but the
beginning of career of adventures
and experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions Of this life
were tame. He lived with the fear Of
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him of that
dreadful Initiation into the mysteries
of the tremendous after life for which
his present existence was but
preparation. His cemeteries were not
hidden away In remote suburbs; his
dead were not covered with mere
grassy mounds or a slab of stone. The
whole land was his graveyard; its
whole art was of the moftuary. "Are
there no graves in Egypt that thou
has brought us into the wilderness to

Egypt is the land of graves, and the
whole energy of the people. that could
be spared from keeping life together.
was devoted to death. The mightiest
tombs In the world-the pyramids
were raised upon the deaths of multi
tudes of toiling slaves. The hills were
honeycombed passages and galleries,
chambers, pits, all painfully excavated
In honor of the illustrious dead, and
sculptured and painted with elaborate
skill to make them fit habitations for
his ghost.
Wherever he looked the Egyptian
beheld preparations for the great turn
Ing point of existence. The mason
was squaring blocks for the tomb
chamber; the potter nodded images
of the gods, or bowls and jars, to be
placed In the grave for the protection
or refreshment of the Ka, exhausted
with the ordeals of the under world;
the sculptor and painter were at work
upon the walls of the funeral cham
Der, illustrating the scenes through
which the ghost was to pass, or de-
plotting the Industrious life of the de-
parted.
The very temples which cluster along
the levels beside the Nile were, in
sense, but vestibules to the tombs in
the hills behind. The sacred lake, now
the weedy. picturesque haunt of water
fowl, was then the scene of solemn
ferryings of the dead. The temple
walls were covered with the terrors
of the judgment to come. The houses
of the living, indeed, were built of per-
lshing mud, but the homes of the dead
and the shrlnes where supplication
was made to the gods who ruled their
fate were made to last forever. On
these all the strength, the science and
the artistic skill Of the ancient Egyp-
tians were cheerfully layished-Sat-

Not the Same Genesis.

A well known divinity professor, a

Sis
Roars of laughter came from the
students.
Genesis is not so old as you sup
pose" continued the professor.
More roars-so long continued, in
deed, that the worthy man had time to
think before he made the next remark,
He said timidly-and he managed to
hit the mark this time:
