Dear Sir:-Mv second set of
The Century Dictionary & Cyclic
pedia & Atlas, purchased through
the Wanamaker Century Club, has
been in my home now for a little
over a month, my first set having
been in constant use in my law Of
fee for nearly year.
Yesterday the members Of my
family spent the afternoon in read
ing, and my set of The Century
volumes, which stands in a Century
bookcase next to my reading
chair, was in such constant use by
all of us that | was sufficiently in
terested to summarize the results
in the evening, and | give them be-

SOrbed III the account given III yes
terday's Sun of the recent finding
of relics in Egypt by Professor
Petrie, proving, as alleged in the
paper, the authenticity of a new
dynasty, or rather the oldest
known to secular history, and
which has hitherto been regarded
as rather mythical, dating from
1000 to 5000 B. c. The first ref
erence was, of course, for informa-
ton as to the discoverer, w. M.

tologist is given in The Century,
all his journeyings, his writings,
etc. which was of course of the
greatest interest in connection
with the article in question. Then
reference was made, one by one, to
the names of the ancient Egyptian
kings mentioned, from Menes,
founder of the first dynasty, down
to ka, the last king OF the dynasty
(whose name. by the way, was
misspelled in the newspaper
"QarO.
A discussion of this with my
eldest son, who is an architect, led
to a conversation on Egyptian
architecture, ancient and medieval.
Again The Century was called
upon, and there was found an I'M
usually comprehensive article on
the architecture of Egypt, with SUI
perb engravings of all the more
prominent ruins, both of buildings
and statuary, of which traces re-
main. Besides this, and more to
the point, a reference to Cairo
disclosed a collection of facts that
would seem to have been gathered
solely for the information OF the
two who consulted the work, for
they found descriptions OF no less
than nine mosques and mosque
tombs in Cairo, written with the
most elaborate attention to archl-
tectural detail-their dimensions,
description OF style, plan, orna-
mentation, material, even to the
minute carvings upon windows,
arches and minarets. That was
sufficient to make t1oo more

firing Hayes out, and in the meantime

All previous records for motor cars were
broken by Rene de Knyfr in the recent race
at Pau. France. for motor vehicles and
motorcycles. The course was 1856 kilometers,
or 2oeia miles. Thirty-six OF the leading
chaureurs of Europe started. Knyff's
vehicle had a sixteen-horse power motor.
most of the others being Of twelve-horse
power The horse power OF the tricycles
varied from three to six.
The pace was terrific throughout. AT one
stage OF the race. on level ground, De
Knyff covered 34ik miles in 1914 minutes.
De Knyff won In 4:4s:57, net time, exclud-
ing stoppage, beating all records with an
average Of nearly forty-four miles an hour.
Marcellin, the motocyclist, also broke all
records in his class, going the distance in
miles an hour.

 COMMISSIONER EVANS of the Pension Bureau made the follow ing statement this week, in an- swer to numerous inquiries:- "Thare have been filed 34,000 claims for pension on account of the Spainish- American war. Calls have been made for evil dence in 33, 424 of these claims. The difference between the num- Der of claims filed and the num- Der of medical examinations ordered practically represents the number of widows and depend- ants claims. Of these claims, 4,237 have been adjudicated.

My wife has been using Cham berlain's Pain Balm, with good results, for a lame shoulder that has pained her continually for nine years. We have tried all kinds of medicines and doctors without receiving any benefit from any of them. One day we saw an advertisement of this med icine and thought of trying it., which we did with the best of satisfaction. She has used only one bottle and her shoulder is almost well. .-Adolph L.

YELLOW journalism has even got into the pulpit. A Milwakee reporter was allowed to occupy a local pulpit to reply to a sermon on newspapers by the pastor. He thus defined the duties of a newspaper: To print just enough goodness, badness, religion, atheism, spirituality and pugilism to keep the reader interested, and to sell the paper, Some thing like doctors prescription calling for six ingredients and substituting 'just enough" for the quantity of each.
