Ten Layers Of History.

From Harper's Magazine
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 ending
with almost the last Of its native kings
from Mena, about 400 B. c., to Nekht-hor-
heb, $40 b. c. 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 must know
the alphabet of the subject: and that has
only lately been learnt, from the pottery.
the f1ints, the beads, which show, each, the
age to which they belong. Excavation on
a site with long history is mere destruc-
ton if each stratum is not read and inter
preted intelligibly as it is opened; unfortu-
nately, 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 an
other until ten ages of building stood
stacked together in about twenty feet
depth of ruins. Each temple had become
partly ruined after a few centuries, and
them at last was pulled down, leaving q
foot or two of the walls and foundations;
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 twenty feet of ruins, from which its
past will some day be read as we now read
that of Egypt

Most erroneous ideas prevail as to the eff

be; quite obliviouS to after effects. Any
one who would take the trouble to read
health statistics would soon be convinced
that measles especially is not to be trified
with. And yet medical men, as a rule,
find a reckless disregard for isolation, and
in many cases not even the precau;ion of
calling in the family doctor, the result be-
ing, naturally, that the disease spreads at
its own sweet will and often works havoc.
In the treatment of this complaint, again,
decisions and erroneous ideas exist among
a large number of the community. Tradi-

THE HANDKERCHIEF.
Meaning of the Linen Rectangles
Which Men and Women Garry.

From the Denver Republican.
If It is indeed true. as the French writer
saws that one needs handkerchiefs FOR the
mornings, handkerchief to walk with,
handkerchiefs to go to church with. hand
kerchiefs to lose and give away, hand
kerchiefs for washerwomen-and for lovers
70 steal and he might have added, hand
kerchiefs to leave behind to furnish cleW
to the mystery; handkerchiefs for an Othei-
10 to find and rave over. In Egypt the
handkerchief was counted as an amulet,
and among the Moors as a love token. Gre
clan women appear on their vases mus1ng
pensively with a large cloth In the right
hand. and among the Romans the utilita-
ran use of handkerchiefs was deplored by
Juveral. With Elizabeth of England the
handkerchief. like all articles of the toilet,
was much to be considered and was trim
med with lace and decked with embroidery.
Tiny squares of finest lawn, finely wrought,
edged with gold lace and folded neatly,
were made purposely for love tokens and
were given by court ladies to their lovers
who wore the dainty tokens in their hats.
Now the handkerchief is thing of sentl-
ment, from which one may read a little of
my lady's character, for the dainty woman
always has a delicate, snowy bit of linen,
edged around with lace, deicately perfumed
and with a certain freshness ABOUT IL DIS II
it We're never used but once. Indeed. Jap
anese ladies never do use a handkerchief
more than once. any more than they use
toothbrush the second time. A tiny bit Of
paper handkerchief is that affected by my
lady of chry anthemum land. 1t is tucked
into her sash or obi and used If necessary
and thrown away.
For morning there are fine and thin grass
linen squares with q faint bit of color in
the border. and very smart they look peep
ing from a pocket, and for the afternoon
there are sheer squares of the lawn, most
delicately embroidered in fine and close
rather than elaborate patterns. For even
z ing the tiny squares are edged round with
real Nalencennes lace, and very tiny they
are. too. For there is never pocket in an
evening gown, and it is well to have the
handkerchief small enough to be tucked
away in small places.
For some reason fine and pretty hand
kerchief will almost redeem an old or COM

her sister women. the girl who is always
dainty enough to carry something nice for
