Tho word sphinx is from the
Greek and means the stranger, and
waaapplied to a tabled creature of
the Egyptians which had the body
of lion, the head Of man or an
animal and two wings attached to
its sides. In the Egyptian hero
giyphs the sphinx symbolized Wis
dom and power united. 1t has been
supposed that the fact that the over
fOw OF the Nile occurred when the
sun was in the consultations Leo
and Virgo gave the ideasof the COM
binatlOns CT form in the sphinx, but
this idea SINS quite unfounded. In
Egypt the reigning monarch was
usually represented in the form of
sphinx The most remarkable sphinx
is that near the pyramids at Gizeh.
1t il sculptared from the rock, ma
sonrJ' having been added in several
places 10 complete the form. 1t is
172h feet long by So feet high, but
only the head Of this remarkable
sculpture can now be seen, the rest
of the form having been concealed
by the heaped up sands Of the desert.
Nun bers of smaller sphinxes have
been found III Egypt, and also in
the sculptures of Assyria, Babylonia
and Phenicia.

BLAINE AS A PROPHET. The late
James G.. Blaine foreshadowed the
annexation of Hawaii and the Philip
pine islands in an editorial in Maine
newspaper, years before he became
prominent as statesman. He wrote
it seems like inspired prophecy when
read in connection with recent events.
That the time would come when the
United States would have to enlarge
its boundaries, if it was to hold it's
fair share Of the commerce of the
world, and pointed out that Hawaii
and the Philippines were within the
influence, and predicted that it would
become absolutely necessary for this
country to control the Philippines, as
the key to the trade of the Orient.
