TEN LAYERS OF HISTORY.
Had Been Piled on Ruins of
Other Temples.

For the first time the whole history OF
one of the great national sites Of Egypt
has been opened before US; dating from
the beginning Of the kingdom, and end
ing with almost the last OF the native
kings-from Mena, about 400 B. c., to
Nekht-horheb, $40 B. c.. says Harper's
Magazine. History is here laid out for
us in strata, from which the past can be
read as we lift them away one from an
other.
In order to read. however, one NUT
know the alphabet OF the subject; and
that has lately been learned, from the
pottery. the fiInts, the beads, which
show. each, the age to which they belong.
Excavation on a site with long his
tory is mere destruction II each
stratum is not read and interpreted in
telligibly as It is opened; unfortunately
this has never been done before on any
such site. On the earliest sacred site of
Abydos. the first capital Of Egypt, tenn
pies had been piled one on the ruins of
another until ten ages OF buildings stood
stacked together in about 20 feet depth
Of ruins. Each temple had become part
ly ruined after a few centuries. and
then at last was pulled down, leaving a
foot or two of the walls and founda-
tons; and a new temple OF a different
plan was then erected on the ground
America is not old enough for this to be
done even once, but London stands on a
mound Of over 90 feet of ruins. from
which its past will be read as we now
read that Of Egypt.

are not samples" Of anything. Out
side the actual administration of their
sacred duties they never permit them
selves to suggest, by word or look,
the dignity Of their office. That is n
garment of such f1nely-wrought and
sensitive fibre that they refuse to wear
it for every wind to blow upon. They
do not know what professionalism or
"pose" means. They allow them
selves to become as enthusiastic as the
young men Of their congregations,
over hurting match Of cooperative
creamery, and their conversation does
not differ in the least from what one
expects to hear in any company of
refined and cultured gentlemen, unless,
as has been remarked, that 1t usually
possesses freshness and vivacity to
be met with nowhere else. The SUPER

them down as hopelessly entangled

would appear that Saint Patrick was
sent to perfect and complete the work
of Ireland's conversion which earlier
and less successful missionaries had
already commenced. That he thor
oughly accomplished his mission, is
obvious from the firm hold which that
faith has since maintained in the his
tory and national life of Ireland.
The shamrock is as especially SYM
bolic Of Ireland as the ancient harp
which Moore says, "Once through
Tara's halls it's soul ef music shed"
1t is also, owing to an historical oc-

closely associated with the name of St..
Patrick, for as he banished the snakes
from Ireland, so the tradition has de-
creed that the little plant should grow
in perfection in the Green Isle, and in
no other spot on earth. Like the clover,
it is three-leaved plant, growing
from single stem, and is botanically
considered distinct from both clover

1t is popularity considered that the
chief named Dicho, whom st. Patricl
baptized, was the "first born of the
sons Of Erin to the faith of Christ
Nothing could be more erroneous, as
from passages in the works of St
Chrysostom it has been asserted that
Christianity was in Erin long before
st. Patrick, and that the country had
been visited from the earliest ages by
missionaries.
King Cormac Mart, who lived and
reigned a century before st. Patrick
was a Christian, and st. Prosper ex.
pressly states that Palladius, who, like
Patrick, was Christian, and St. Pros.
per by Pope Celestus, was sent to the
Irish, believing in Christ" wide "Lice
of st. Patrick" by Father NJ. 1. o..
Farrell, page 2G) The facts are that

ter, Benedict, Solinus, and Augustine
had landed in Ireland previous to st.
Patrick's departure from France, and
had met with such successes that
hopeful expectations were entertained
in Rome of the conversion of the entire
island. But the Druids, as may be ex.
pected, were hostile to the new religion
and had influenced the king Of Lem
ster, against Palladius, who then be-
came the enemy Of the missionary.
Palladius was therefore driven out of
the country by the pagan priests who
saw their tenets confuted and their in
fiuence threatened with ruin, in much
the same manner as their brother
flanems Of ancient Rome envied the
Christians in the days of Traja and
Tiberius.
Referring to the early civilization of
Ireland, Doctor Petrie, in his
learned work upon the round towers of
Ireland, quotes from very ancient
document showing that Ireland was
prosperous during Cormac's time, and
just judgment was distributed
throughout it by him, so that no one
burst wound a man in Ireland during
the short Jubilee Of seven years; for
COrmac had the faith of the one true
God according to the law, and said he
would not adore stones and trees, but
Him who made them and had power
over all the clements. e.: The one
true God in Him he would believe"

the pope long anterior to the days of
st. Patrick. 1t is considered that the
first knowledge Of Christianity was
brought to the southeastern shores of
Ireland by merchants who freauented
Irish ports, and which, according to
Tacitus, were more favorably situated
than those of Britain. However, it
cannot be doubted" says Father o.
Farrell, "that there were many persons
long before the arrival Of Saint Patrick
in different parts of the country, but
especially along the southern and
southeastern coasts who professed and
practiced the doctrines Of Christian
ity." From all these onfbI !, u

the transports between the United
States, the Philippines, Hawaii and
Alaska. In addition to this freight
was carried between the same to the
amount of 6S,221 tons. From these
various points there were brought
home the remains of 1923 officers, en-
listed men and civilian employees.
There was transported between the
United States and the Philippines 81
gel pieces of baggage, 531,951 pounds
of mail, $S,916,O00 in United States
currency and coin and six horses.
This immense work performed by
the transport service of the United
States army is matter of great i'm
portance to the people of this country.
When the figures are presented as in
the report of the quartermaster gener-
al, all sensible opposition to that SER
vice must necessarily cease. Should
there be more vessels in the service
than needed, they can easily be laid
up in the harbors of the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and kept in readiness
for service on short notice. This
course is advisable because of the fact
that when offered for sale the trans
ports fail to bring anywhere near their
real value

PLEA FOR CLEAN MEN.

The public utterances of President
! Roosevelt have become noted for their
forceful exposition of high ideals OF
citizenship, sound economic and po-
litical policies. 1t is not strange,
therefore that his plea for clean men
in public and private life at the cen
tennial celebration of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian church, which
Abraham Lincoln attended, has claim
ed more than passing attention and
Z thought. Impressed by the associa-
tions as he sat in the pew once occu-
pied by President Lincoln it was only
natural that his speech should come
forth as a call to the citizens OF this
great nation to bring to the perform
ance of their duties, public and private
that fearless honesty and sturdy devo-
ton which was exemplified in the life
of that great man of the people.
President Roosevelt granted that
thinking men must divide along party
lines with regard to the policies of
public administration, but he declared
boldly that when it comes to roofing
out any manner of corruption, Ameri-
can citizens worthy of the name should
unite for the common veal. This du-
ty President Roosevelt set forth in
the following brief statement:
"And remember, you the people of
this government by the people. that
while the public servant, the legisla-
tor, the executive officer, the judge
are not to be excused if they fall
short of their duty. yet that their do
ing their duty cannot avail unless you
do yours. In the last resort we have
to depend upon the jury drawn from
the people to convict the scoundrel
who has tainted our public life and un-
less that jury does its duty, unless it
is backed by the public sentiment OF
the people. all the work of legislator
of executive officer, of judicial officer
is for naught.'
Here is the truth. though trite, that
the people of the great country must
remember and that it may not be for
gotten. il is well that it should be re-
peateaiy called to the minds Of Ameri-
can citizens.
