EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES.
I'm Appeal to Stop the Spoiiation of
Ancient Relics.

(From the Pail Mall Gazette.)
Does the Egyptian government do as
much as 1t might for archaeology? l do
not alIude to the threatened destruction
of the Temple of Philae by the new dam,
because they seem to have listend to the
representations made to them, and to have
done all that was possible to avert mis-
chief in this respect But Nj. Amelineau $
account of his discoveries at Abydos shows
a state of things existing there whlch
would be tolerated by no civilized govern
ment. One of the largest mounds is COM
posed of jars of all kinds, shapes and ages,
containing the food and other offerings
which the piety OF the ancient Egyptians
deposited there for the use of the dead. Il
is called by the fellaheen significantly
enough Omm ell Gaab, or Mother of Pots,
and they have, according TO M. Amelineau,
been digging into it and removing the sac
rificial Jars ever since Christianity OBJ
tanned foothold in Egypt. The fact that
the deposition of these jars was, II his the
cries are correct, continuous from a long
time before 5000 B. c., down to Roman
times. has alone prevented the entire de-
struction of the mound, and quite accounts
for the number of articles from Abydos''
which the natives are beginning to offer for
sale to European tourists and collectors.
All further spoliation OF the mound ought
to be stopped at once.
1t is, in fact, becoming a question
whether the rules of the Service des An
tiquites should not be further revised. One
OF their latest regulations provides that
no excavations shall be undertaken save
by trained archaeologist," but this reg
ulation is at once too lax and too string
ent. Most of our greatest explorers-for
example, Herr SchliemaBn and Prof. Film
ders Petrie-began as amateurs, and nc
amount of training will sometimes pre-
vent an archaeologist from conducting his
excavations in such a way as to make the
labors of his successor more difficult. NJ
Amelineau himself is by no means free
from reproach in this respect, and he con-
| fesses in his latest book that the result o.
his operations at Ell Amrah Is that thi:
particular find-spot is, as he puts it, "los
to science" The Turkish plan OF appoint
ing commissioner to attend each explor
er and to be responsible to the government
for the proper conduct OF the expedition
seems to be better plan, and some stel
of the kind will have to be taken II thu
popularity of Egypt as a Tom fiddler
ground goes on increasing.

(From the New York WORLDLY
Some years ago an Irishman named Pat
Noonan had a vegetable stand in one of
the city markets. Pat was a chronic
kicker for what he considered his

and, no matter how awkward a predica-
ment he found himself in, his mental
quickness generally showed him a way
out
One day he was complaining to the
superintendent of the market that the
rent of his stall was altogether too high,
and after giving various reasons why it
should be materially reduced, he wound
up by solemny declaring that he was
losing at least 81, 900 year.
well, Pat, if that's the case said the
superintendent, dryly. I'D advise you to
sell out and quit the business at once.

How He Escaped Being Brave.

az noticed couple of "reminiscences

ship was telling off fourteen or fifteen
knots an hour one day, when crank
pin came out and the next instant the
crank was thrashing around in most
recklessly unsystematic fashion.

there were some men of considerable
rank there just then, as it happened

L quietly took four or FIVE steps and
shut off the steam. OF course the en-
gines stopped and then followed the
delay caused by making the necessary
repairs.
cit didn't occur to me that I had
performed any act of an especial char
acter until the chief engineer informed
me that I was COMPOUNDED fool.
Don't you know your place under
such circumstance, STRIP he asked, and
when l answered that I thought I had
taken my proper position, he con-
tinued, No, sir, your duty was to
make your way as soon as possible to
the deck. With that piece of steel
whirling and crashing about it was
one chance in thousand that single
soul would escape an instantaneous
cooking, because if that thing Lad
