We now know what a solid brass basis
Of exact history there was from the very
beginning Of the Egyptian Kingdom, and
we realize what mere skeleton Of it has
come down to us thru the Greek llistor-
ians and. what firm ground there was for
what they have stated. Before leaving
for Egypt last autumn Professor Petrie
gave to the Egypt Exploration Funds
meeting an outline Of the plans for the
work Of the present season:
The Present Scheme OF Work.
In the coming year he said. 1--WE
look forward to avery definite course Of
work. There Is the great site of the oldest
temple Of Abydos, on which we have only
yet cleared down to the eighteenth dyn-
asty level. The two or three yards of ac-
cu1nulations which lie below that must
consist of the older remains of the tenn
pies which were rebuilt by the earlier
kings. The site is under water level till
late In the spring, and 1t will be needful
to do the costly work of removing all the
upper layers in order to dry the soil below
and to be able to work, perhaps under the
water to finish it, but the most impor-
tant early site in Egypt is worth some
trouble and cost to save all we can OF
history which will never be known except
from this ground.
Another great work is that of clearing
out the two immense tombs of the twelfth
dynasty kings which were found last year.
One of these have gone thru and seen
two vast sarcophagis of red granite and
hundreds Of square yards of polished
quartlte lining the passages, which show
the lavish care of the work. We may hope
to bring some fine objects to light from
the deep mass of chips and rubbish which
half fills the passages and chambers, some
500 feet long -,

CULT OF THE RIPE OLIVE

New York Commercial.

{, New York IS beginning to eat ripe olives.
IN another decade epicures will have their
cholce OF the ripe or green olive at their
laYortte1 table d'hote, and the thirst of the
Tree lunch wanderer will be increased ten
fold. It is a great thirst-producer
Inc cult of the ripe olive is lately found
ca. II. is barely taking hold of the people.
european travellers brought the taste home
with them, and the immigrant population
q the East; Side assisted in its spread.
for, belt known, the eating of olives in
any shape or form is not the inherent in
cl sl OF this people that first come to
take possession of the land.
Mark Twain's story of the pilot on the
mississippi can aptly be applied to the
lover of olives. When the pilot learned
lhe great river up stream he thought he
knew 1t all and rejoiced; but as soon as
the boat turned around and started down
ne found that the river looked entirely
o1rtefent and he had to learn it all over
again. It is so with the olive. We learn
to eat the green one and find great deal
OF quiet enjoyment in the process-a. proc
ess So beautifully described by that able
young authOress from the classic barren
ness of Butte. Miss Mary MacLane. Then
when we tackle the ripe olive we have
to learn it all over again. It's a different
sort of a taste. To subvert Longfellow
for moment 1t resembles the other as
mist resembles rain.
Eating ripe olives is not poetical, it is
greasy. But it is NICE They are palat-
able,5 they are healthful, they are good
AS soon as their merits are known to-
as, he might be called-the general eater,
their consumption will spread It is very
much like eating any ripe fruit and any
green fruit; the ripe olive appeals to one
as the proper thing to preserve-and eat
Thousands Of gallons are consumed in
New York annually, principally by Ital-
ians, Jews, Spanish and Greeks.
Two localities are now engaged in an
intense rivalry for the growing market
for the ripe olive. They are widely sepa-
rated One lies south of the Alps, the
other. west Of the Sierra Nevadas. For
this market olives are grown in the warm
velleys of Greece and in the sunny Wales
Of California The agents Of each are
active to take advantage of the spread
ing demand and the greater success of
either field will rest upon the merits of
the goods offered, for we are going to like
ripe olives.

+ London, April 18.-A few years ago
every one scoffed at the notion that the
list of kings which had been handed
down to the times of the Greek historians
OF Egypt were more than mere fables Of
the earlier parts. Few believed that such;
people existed; no one believed that the
whole record was exact history. The dis
covery that the tombs of these kings Of
between 1000 and 5000 B. c.. were actually
in our hands at Abydos and the proof
that these monuments agreed with the
history has been one Of the most aston
lshing results Of our excavations in Egypt.
To handle the royal drinking cups and
jewelry Of over 5000 years ago and to
verify more than a dozen of the earliest
kings names would have been thought a
mad dream ten years before. 81
But all this has been capped by bringing
to light a portion of the yearly annals Of
Egypt under the earliest kings. For
thirty years stone lay in the Palermo
museum brought from no one knows
where in Egypt. Now. DR.. Schafer of
Berlin has explained nearly all Of It, It

wide and seventeen inches high, closely
engraved on both sides. The top line is

Egypt before the country was united by
the conquering kings Of Upper Egypt

entries of each year when complete from
about 400 to 1000 B. c., stating the event
by which the year was known and the
height of the Nile for that year.

NYE'S TREMoLOS
Tremor In His First Word-Tears Early In
His Speech, ~

His Speech.
All predictions that Frank M. Nye would
be tearfully eloquent in his closing for
the defense were fully borne out this aft
ernoon There was tremor In his first
word and in the second sentence there
were tears in his voice. Rarely if
ever has Mr.. Nye been more impressive
or more impassioned.
He opened by saying:
ST m glad that it is among the con-
solutions Of this life that a professional
man is enabled to exert his forces and
his strength for friend. Never in my
life have I ever felt more deeply the alb
solute truth and justice of the cause
represent. I hope and trust for strength
to be able to show to you the utter weak
ness Of the case offered by the state.
will strip the ragged mask from off the
face Of this prosecution and show you in
all it's hideousness it's falsehood; it's per-
jury and it's perfidy.'
Then he turned to the life of DIR. Ames
for the past forty years and in glowing
language expatriated on the great good
he had done for thousands of the poor and
suffering in this community in whose
hearts he was enshrined in everlasting
gratitude.

tain Charles r. Hill and had been pre-
pared under instructions given by Mayor
Ames. From a page in the official copy
book of the mayors office Mr.. Boardman
read explicit orders to Superintendent
Arnes to ascertain the location of all can
dY and cigar stores which had rooms at
tached and where liquors were sold. The
order was made by DR.. Ames and signed
by him. The whole chain Of evidence was
complete and 1t was an extraordinarily
clear case. 1t was even corroborated in
part by DR.. Ames.
A Slip BY Or. Ames.
You remember how Dr.. Ames during
the examination by his own attorneys ac-
cidentally let out that Gardner had told
him that we did not get our expense
money back The talk with Gardner was
in his mind and he let it slip out. You
remember how he fioundered when I asked
him what Gardner meant by those words
and what evasive answer he gave.
This case is more important than one
involving the life Of a human being, for
you hold in your hand the question Of the
life Of honest government, the honor Of
a large city, the welfare Of it's people, aye
even more, the name of a great state.
Stop when you reach the juryroom and
feel your sympathies for DR.. Ames,-the
sold man who is only 81 years of age, and
that is not so old,-and consider what
of every criminal, every CRATER. every
boodler, il you bring In a verdict Of ac-
qnittal.
Don't allow yourselves to be led away
from the realms Of reason to the abyss
of the ridiculous. If there was anyone
else on trial in this case than DR.. Ames,
you wouldn't require one-half OF the tes-
tinony that we have produced in order to
convict him. DR.. Ames did not do it, and
If he did-that means when he did'-he
was crazy and did not know right from
wrong. There is nothing else to the de-
tense.
when Mr.. Nye speaks feelingly Of this
poor, devoted wife, and asks what good
will it do to send an old man to prison,
remember that you have nothing to do
with the penalty or the punishment. I
have nothing to do with it. Your duties
are well defined and 1t Is simply to con-
slider the evidence and give your verdict in
accordance herewith"
