Some Valuable Papyri.


The British Museum continues to illumine
for us the world Of the ancients through
their papyri. Several years ago the mu-
scum obtained from Babylonia a number
Of Babylonian royal letters referring to the
important period of the Arabian dynasty
of Babylon, about 200 BIC. These letters,
which are now exhibited in the new Baby
lonian room, afford interesting examples
of the manifold duties of an oriental mon
arch some 1000 years ago. They throw a
great light upon the civilization and sys-
tenn of government in vogue at that period.
The point is that they have been copied by
Mr. Leonard w. King, the assistant In the
oriental department and Messrs. Luzac
will publish the text and translation in the
Semitic series.
Another volume, with recently collected
papyri, will be published by the British
Museum early next year. 1t will contain a
series of moral aphorisms resembling In
some respects the Proverbs Of Solomon and
the Book Of Ecclesiastes. This papyrus
fortunately possesses the first page, and 1t
shows the true use and character of those
works. which are numerous in Egyptian
literature. They were guides to the young
as to conduc- which would enable them to
attain to the highest positions tn the state.
Another interesting document to be in
cluded in the publication Is complete cal
endar Of the lucky and unlucky days of
the year. Each day is divided into three
parts, and the omen for each Is given.
Similar calendars exist, but this Is the first
which affords the complete year.

$4,000, but they got 1t all back and "a

A PERILOUS JOURNEY.
Government GeOlOgist Runs the
Canyons of the Rio Grande.

Canyons of the Rio Grande.
Robert T. Hill in the Century.
At noon, October 5, 1890. we pushed out
into the river at Preside and started on
our long journey into the unknown. 1 do
not claim to Re the only man who. has
travelled the tortuous and dangerous chan
mel of the frontier stream, for one man.
and one only. James Mcmahon. has made
at least three trips down the river. Mine,
however, was the first exploring expedi-
ton to pass the entire length of the can
yons, and, with the exception Of MacMa-
hons, was the only attempt that succeed
ed. Others, like Gano and Neville, have
passed the fearful twelve miles of the
Grand Canyon de Santa Helena. The only
government expedition, the international
boundary survey. pronounced the canyons
impossible, and gave up the attempt to
survey them, except the lower hundred
miles Of the course. which Lieutenant
Micheler passed through.
MacMahon was interested neither in
science, exploration nor travel. He ven
tured the stream without knowledge of
it's dangers and merely because, as a life
long hunter and trapper, he knew that the
beaver probably lived along its unmolested
banks These animals alone interested
him, and a map made by him. II he could
make such a thing. would note only beaver
banks ana dangerous SpOtS, tLcSe were
all that he saw Unguided and alone, he
loaded his boat with traps, placed 1t in the
stream and slowly drifted down to Del
Rio Drawing a thousand dangers and
making the first successful passage. This
man, whose name has perhaps never be-
fore appeared in print. had spent his long
life in such exploits. and is one of the few
old-time trappers still to be found in the
west.
The finding Of MacMahon was the first of
the dozen fortuitous circumstances which
made my trip possible, and there was not
a day that his knowledge of the dangers
of the stream did not save US from loss and
destruction. Always kind and unobtru-
sive, he was as cautious a cat, being
at times apparently over-careful He was
ever on the lookout for safe channel In

For Close shaves.
From the London Family Doctor.


In shaving, to make the skin perfectly
smooth requires not only the removal of
the hair, but also a portion OF the cuticie,
and a close shave means the removal Of q
layer Of skin all around. The blood vessels
thus exposed are not visible to the eye, but
urder the microscope each little quivering
msstth, holding minute blood drop, pro-
tests against such treatment. The nerve
tips are also uncovered. and the pores are
left unprotected. which makes the skin
tender and unhealthy. This sudden ex-
posure of the inner layer Of the skin rem
ders person liable to have colds. hoarse-
ness and sore throat.

From Casters Magazine.
The exploration of three-fourths Of our
vast domain has been the work Of our
government and private citizens. In a
broad sense 1t has been done we'll. and in
the past twenty-one years it has been sue
ceeded by detailed studies and surveys
which should be specially mentioned, for
they are q phase of exploration which has
been carried out on a large scale only In
the nineteenth century. and which Is es-
sential to the production Of the most &C
curate maps. No topographic feature or
town or the distribution Of economic re-
sources can be mapped with the greatest
attainable accuracy till these surveys
are made. They involve. first. the prepara-
ton of a topographic map showing the re-
lief or inequalities Of the surface, the drain
age and the works of man. such as roads,
railroads, boundaries and towns; second,
the geologic map, printed in colors upon
the Topographic base map. showing the dis
tribution of the rock formations. soils, use
full minerals, artesian waters, etc.
These surveys and the resulting maps are
one Of the most scientific developments of
geographic research In this century. They
have been completed In all countries Of
Europe except In Norway. Spain. Turkey
and some Of the Balkan states. The great
