People who try to leave money SC
 that it can be used in the way they
 would like to have it used are often un- able to get it so used, though they leave life believing that they have done what they set out to do. An interesting illus tration of this is the way a plan made by MT. Samuel Wilson, a philanthropic testator of London, has worked MT
 Wilson wanted to aid young men en- gagged in business through small loans at low rate of interest, and ill his will he provided that a fund of $100,O ,O00 should be set aside rom his estate for that purpose, Since Mir. Wilson's death the accumulations have doubled the sum available, though at no time has as much as one tenth of the total been in use, and it's investment in a man ner in harmony with the requirements is constantly becoming a problem of greater difficulty.

 The monument is the funeral shell or tablet of an Egytian lady who lived
 late in the Ptolmaic age. The inscrip- ton was found at Ekhmim, the ancient Apu, orPanopolis, ?, city that was one or the earliest and most importnant seats of Christian teaching In Egypt, The tablet gives little information about the lady Ta-hebt (Festina) and the lady Khrat-Amsu Daughter of Amsu), but the upper portion of the shell is decorated with scuulptured scenes of the solar boat and the de ceased worshipping Osiris. This is fil- lowed by the usual funeral formula, and then comes "one of the most beau tiful prayers yet found on Egyptian monuments. and one which shows how deeply imbedded in the hearts of the people was the belief in immortal life
