" 10 the recently discovered
tembs OF ancient Egyptian
kings brings up for notice
not only Mr.. Pctrie's report Of the
finding OF jewelry that had been tho
possession OF an Egyptian queen who
lived 400 years before the Christian
era. but the recent discoveries of far
more precious things-of papyri that
have added so much to the treasures
of Biblical and classical literature.
We refer TO these. especially to call
attention 20 the latest appeal of DR..
William c. Winslow. of Boston, the
vice president and honorary secretary
of the American Egyptian Exploration
Fund, for the means TO carry on at
once the researches for other papyri---
documents Of New Testament and clas-
steal times-before it becomes too late
to rescue them.
Of the one hundred and eighteen
valuable papyri comprised in last
years finds, and distributed to various
universities and museums In numbers
pro rata of the total subscriptions
received from these and their respec-
tive localities, the University of Penn
sylvania and Harvard have received
the greatest number and the most
valuable. The very oldest eXtant text
of -. Matthew has gone to the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania; that OF st.
Paul to Harvard.
IT is quite possible that even more
ancient texts may come to light both
Of the New Testament writer's and OF
famous Greek authors. Many of the
finds are older texts OF not few or
the greatest Grecian writer's than any
before known.
What is now to be considered is the
| fact that the immense dam at Philae,
| iE course of construction in order to
make the Nile once more the fruit
| ful source and noarishment of Egypt,
will be completed within the space OF
| arc ther two years. Through the last

the other hand. as it is a poor rule that will not
work both ways. II tho advertiser contracts for
5000 inches al ljia cents an inch. and AZ the
end Of the year exceeds his expectations, aud
uses G,0o0 inches, the Mail will be willing TO give
him the advantage OF the 6,00o.inch rate. which
is IL cents an inch, and the Mail will rebate 10
the advertiser to bring the total bill TO the Is.
cent basis. Isn't this fair?
ADVANTAGES OF THE INCH CONTRACT.
The advantages of the inch contract are
numerous and obvious. When an advertiser has
such contract, he can use his space when he
needs il. u he has anything 10 say to the read
ing public, he can say it, u lie has nothing TO
say. hc does not have 10 pay for any space to
say 1t in. nor does he either have TO write new
copy or leave the old chestnut in his space, that
will probably 40 him more harm than good
How often has the business man, who is making
an effort 10 try the efficacy OF advertising. been
discouraged and disheartened at the obligation
he felt under 10 write an advertisement when he
had nothing to say! lie knew he had 20 pay for
his space. whether he used II or not. and the
burden Of preparing an advertisement when he

paper. simply because he had forgotten 10 send
in new copy-has had great deal 10 do with
diSCouraging business men who are making an
honest effort to discover for themselves what
the real value oi advertising would be in their
particular cases
None oi these objections can bc urged against
the inch contract: and We feel certain that, a.
it has found favor with tho business men Of other
cit'es, so il will find favor with the business men
OF Gacshurg, after they have given IT fair trial.
