Thousands of Condemned

qreeabIe Work.

Most of the gold mines Of Ancient
Egypt are still in fair state of
preservation, aud the method Of work
is easily conjectured. Generally
speaking, the conditions observed
are in accordance with the descrip-
ton of Agatiardchides. who wrote
1l3 b. G. The following Is a free
translation from the text of Muller:
'The metal bearing rocks which
are called gold bearing are intensely
black. but among them is produced
stone than which nothing is whittier.
OF these mountains, those which are
rugged aud have an altogether hard
nature they burn with wood, and
when they are softened by fra they
experiment on them aud cut the
loosened stones into small pieces with
work IL that of the artiilcer who Is
skilled in stones. This man shows
to the diggers the track of the metal,
and apportions the whole work to the
needs of the wretched men in the
following manner: Those whole In
strength and age break the places
where shines the white stone with
iron cutting hammers.
They use not skill, but brute
force: aud thus drive in the rock
many galleries, not straight, but
branching In all directions like the
roots of tree, wherever the stone
pregnant with gold may diverge.
These men, thus, with candles bound
on their foreheads. cut the rock, the
white stone showing the direction for
their labors. Placing their bodies
in every conceivable position. throw
the the fragments to the ground--not
each according to his strength, hut
under the eye of the overseer. who
never ceases from blows. Then boys,
creeping into the galleries dug by
the men. collect with great labor the
stones which have heen broken off
and carry them out to the mouth Of
the mine.
"NeXt, from these crowd of old
and sickly men take the stone and
lay il before the Founders. These
are strong men of some thirty years
of age. aud they strenuously pound
the rock with an iron pestle in NOR
tars cut out of stone, and reduce 1t
until the largest piece is no bigger
than pea. Then they measure out
to Others the pounded stone In the
same quantity as they have received
il. The next task Is performed by
women. who. alone or with their
husbands or relations, are placed in
enclosures. Several mills are placed
together in line, and standing
there together at one handle. filthy
aud almost naked, the women lay to
it at the mills until the measure
handed to them is completely re-
duced. And To every one of these
who bear this lot death is prefer
able 10 life.
Others. called Selangeus, take from
women the powder thus produced.
These are he artitlcers, in whom lies
the power If carrying to the end this
work of royal utility. they pour

smooth surface, which. however. does
not lie fiat, but has slight incli-
nation. On this table they rub with
their hands the dust mixed with
water, first lightly and then with
greater pressure. by this means the
earthly particles are dissolve aud flow
down the slope of the table, but that
which is heavy and worth anything
remains on the wood. An! when the
Selangeus has frequently rinsed the
matter out with water, he handles
the dust lightly with soft. thick
sponges, and pressing lightly from
time to time he absorbs from the
table and throws away that which Is
soft and light, entangled in the web
of the sponge. There remains TO the
Selangeus separated on the table that
which Is heavy and shines, and
which, on account of its weight, Is
not easily movable.
"This he transmits to the cooks.
who. Immediately they receive it by
weight, put IL into clay pot. aud In
proportion to its quantity they add
"A lump of lead, some grains of salt. "a
little alloy Of silver and lead. and
barley bran. The pots mouth being
carefully covered aud luted round,
they cook IL five days and i've nights
cousecutively. On the following day.
when the burnt materials are cooled,
they pour them into another vase.
They find none of the things which
were put In together, bat only mass
of molten gold, little less 10y weight
than the original matter. "
IL Is doubtful whether the histo-
rian's description refers to the period
of the Ptolemies or to an earlier
epoch of the Pharaohs: but the
things of which he speaks are therein
evidence today: the iron cutters aud
stone mortars of the men; the mill
at which the women toiled; the tables
of the skilled Selangeus; the furnace
of the "cook"; the pots In which he
fused his gold; the slags therefrom,
and evene the very charcoal of his
fire; all are there. all save the
miserable wretches who wrought this
Herculenn task, and OF them there Is
no tale except the multitude of lowly
mounds which mark the last resting
place of man and woman aud
child. OF these people Diodorus
writes:
1.-The kings of Egypt condemn
vast multitudes To the mines who are
notorious criminals. prisoners of war
aud persons convicted by false ac-
cusation- the victims of resentment.
And not only the individuals them.

Her hands were covered with grime and her skirt was bedraggled, but she had her satisfaction in seeing the dis comf1ture of the sailor who had first essayed the task.

higher education among women.
 And there has been a similar in- crease all around. The number of stu dents in the professional schools in Ja- pan has advanced from s,7a1 to 14,574 since 1896, and in the technical schools from 14,744 to S4,656.
 No country in the world, not even France or Germany, is so we'll supplied with technical institutions. For the ed- ucation of the army. for example, there are altogether nine, including one for training musicians; another for cayal- ry,a mother for artillery, and so on. The navy has six of different grades for different purposes, including a school of naval construction.
 There are now two universities main tained by the government-one at Toldo and the other at Kioto. The emperor was present at the graduation exercises at the former the other day and pre- Isented the degrees. In Tokio unlvercl- ty last year there were 3, ,4S5 students, and the faculty consists of 254 profes- sors, of whom seventeen are foreigners. The Kioto university Is a comparatively new institution, having been estab- lished in 1898, but it already has a fac- .ulty of ninety-three and 641 students.
 The number of students in attendance upon the colleges and universities of Japan this year exceeds B, 1000, an in- crease from 16,761 since 1897. There are schools for every speciality, for agricul- ture, for telegraphy, for commerce and music and art, all sustained by the gov ernment. The appropriations by parlia- ment for education al purposes last year amounted to 42,5S4,194 yen-a yer being fifty cents in our money. $.....
 The post office is a good index of the intelligence of the people. Last year the post office department of Japan handled 21S, S,95O,S79 letters and 4SS, ,S9O, ,744 post cards; total of 7O2,S47, ,117, or an average of fifteen for every man, wo- man and child in the empire. The de- pertinent also handled 15o, ,764 news papers, and 17,674,O59 telegrams were sent over the government lines. The letters sent to foreign countries were 6. .787, ,060 and those received from for eign countries 7,024,173. ~." @
 Missionary schools are now recog- nized on an equality with government schools, at least as many of them as conform to the laws, which require reg ular reports, financial and otherwise, to the minister of education and regular inspections by the officials of that de- .partment. It is also required that the students have a certain amount of mill itary training and devote certain number of hours each week to certain studies. Formerly the teaching of reli- zion and religious exercises were pro- hibited in all schools under the care of the government, and that law is still on the statute books, but 1t is dead let ter. The department of education new CT inquires into the subject. As long as the teachers of missionary school comply with other requirements, they may give as much sectarian instruction and have as many religious exercises as they like. ...-. s. ...
