Fortunately there is no chance for a
religious controversy over recent dis
eoyeries that seem to upset the accept
ed chronology OF the Bible. That
chronology is admittedly of human
origin and therefore liable to be falli-
BILE. Professor Flinders Petrie, in a
lecture recently delivered in London,
presented some rather startling theo-
ries as to the antiquity OF the human
race that will doubtless give rise to
more cor less dispute. The professors
proofs as to his theories are said TO
De incontrovertible. He contends that
there is an unbroken chain OF his
toric record going back to 5000 B. c.,
besides objects OF art and Industry that
carry history back 1000 years further.
thus making the indubitable record
Of human history cover 5000 years.
Yet dates 1000 B. c, do not tako US
back to the beginning. There are
traces, he says, OF a civilization that
came to Egypt from some other coun-
try. The earliest graves have figures
Of a race Of bushmen OF a type like
that discovered in France and Malta,
suggesting that one race formerly ex-
tended from northern Africa into Eu-
rope Beyond these bushmen there are
figures of women captured from still
earlier probably OF the palace
hthic age. OF this latter age there
are many evidences in the elevated
plateau east Of the Nile. where. in
region at present wholly uninhabita-
bic, are found the remains of many
settlements. The existence OF popu-
lation here indicates that there was a
time when the climate OF Egypt was
totally different from what it Is to-
day-when rainfall fortified lands
now deserts. Such climate could
hardly have existed unless the desert
OF Sahara was then under water. A
rise OF the Saharan area, coinciding
with sinking Of the present bed OF
the Mediterranean. would explain the
indisputable fact that the fauna. fora
and racial affinities OF northern Africa
are with Europe rather than with the
parts OF Africa south OF the Sahara.
Egypt supplies us, according to Pro-
lessor Petrie. with physical evidences
of the antiquity OF man in the shape
OF 5000 years continuous remains, but
other countries. notably MesopotamIa,
furnish similar Indications. The
finds" made by recent explorers in
the sites of the old cities in the valley
OF the Euphrates seem to prove the
existence Of an empire extending from
the Persian gulf to the Mediterranean
at period when Egypt itself was In
its infancy.-Chicago Chronicle.

LoUBET's ECONOMY,

President Likes.

Besides his salary OF $3.50 900 a year
the president OF France has a civil
list of s126.00O a year and an allow
ance OF $4,000 year for travelling ex-
penses. This allowance for travelling
expenses was voted to Marshal Mac
hahon to keep him from running
Wild with the Bonapartists, but he
never touched franc of II. Il was
allowed to accumulate until VI. Greyy
became president, when that worthy
drew the arrears and pocketed them.
The allowance for travelling expenses
is largely clear profit, for the presi-
dent travels free, and all he disburses
when on journey is given in the way
OF tips. lie is exceedingly generous
In regard to tips--as well he may.
In spite of his large income Presl-
dent Loubet exercises a rigid economy
at the Elysee. At ordinary luncheons
there Is handsome set out" but the
fare is more substantial than luxur-
ious. The food left over from the
dinner of the night before is arranged
with all the skill OF chef" to figure
on the luncheon table, the cold veg
etables being served up as "salade
russo" The dinners vary in luxury.
according to what guests are to be
present. When only ordinary people
have been invited to partake OF the
presidential hospitality the cost Is
about 81 plate. When a lot OF really
first chop" people are to be present
the cost Is So plate. and when a WIS.,
iting royalty is coming to dinner the
cost goes up as high az IS plate. The
dinners are supplied partly by pastry
cook shop and partly by the kitchen
force of the palace. After dinner the
wife Of one of the officers of the pres-
idential household slips out and holds
a consultation with the chef, at which
II is decided what is to go from the
dining room to the servants table and
what is to be fixed up for tomorrow's
luncheon. Dishes supplied from the
pastry cook shop and not broken are
taken back at a reduced price. Yet
with all his economy It is said that
President Loubet does not save a cent
out OF his pay and allowances. When
ever he needs an extra allowance for
some special function" 1t is cheerfully
granted him by the chamber OF depu-
ties. The president gives two balls
each year, which cost him SIS 900 each.
He also gives garden parties, concerts
and theatrical matinees, but they are
arranged so as to cost little or moth

During the funeral of David Linds-
kog in Chicago, few days ago, what
threatened to be panic, in which
many would have lost their lives, was
prevented by the prompt action of the
pastor, Herman Lindskog. 1t occurred
in the st. Ansgarius Swedish church.
The church was crowded, and hun
dreds of people were outside awaiting
an opportunity to view the remains Of
the pastors son, who was shot by Po-
liceman James p. Wiley during a
scuffie. Just as the burial service was
concluded a loud report and crashes
as of splintering beams sounded in
front OF the edifice. The flooring bent
several inches, and a number of per-
sons started rush for the entrance.
In the crush at the door three women
tainted. The collapse of the floor was
caused by the splitting OF a wooden
post in the basement, which allowed
the floor to sink.

Among the villagers on the yolga
in the Russian province of Samara a
curious sect of women has made it's
appearance. 1t was originated by an
elderly peasant woman in Soznavo,
called the Blessed Mother" These
women have fled from the villages
around into remote district, where
they live singly in holes dug out OF
the face of the hill. They lead life
of fasting and prayer, and believe
themselves called from the world,
which they think is shortly about to
perish in general confagration. The
Blessed Mother" has "ten wise yir-
gins" as u sort of bodyguard, and the
sect believes that these eleven women
are possessed of miraculous power.

They are obliged TO pace up and down

annoyed to his hearts content.
