Archaeological Spells of Egypt.
From the Saturday Review.


The annual exhibition of the finds" Of
the season which has been held this sum
mer lacks perhaps the sensational interest
aching to those of the past three or four
years There are no more objects from
the royal tombs of Abydos, with their reve-
lations of advanced art and culture in an
age which until lately had been deemed
prehistoric and the restoration to sober
history of kings who had been pronounced
to be fabulous and mythical But II there
are no remains Of the early dynasties there
has been quite enough to show how far
from the truth Is the frequently repeated
assertion that the antiquities of Egypt are
well-nigh exhausted. There Is, first the
fresh fragment of the famous Sayings of
Jesus" which the dean of Westminster
discussed in this review last week. Then
for Psychologists there is a discovery at
once unexpected and important. The tenn
ple-tomb Of Mentu-hotep III Of the eleventh
Bahari in a state of wonderful preserva-
ton. For the first time we are able to see
what fairly perfect temple of 50 early a.
date was like and to fill up a gap in the
architectural history of Egypt.
Perhaps, however, the most interesting
fact about the discovery is that the temple
of Queen Hatshepsu. with Its beautiful COLI
onnades and courts that rise one above the
other was no new creation of the eight
zenith dynasty, but merely a slavish imta-
ton of temple that had been built ~
thousand years before her time. The great
queen" and her architects have for all
these centuries been claiming credit that
does not belong to them; the successive
platforms of the temple. the proto-Doric
columns the arrangement of the courts,
were all initiated from the older edifice,
which in one part at least exhibits better
and more massive work.
The complete excavation of Mentu- hotep's
temple will occupy great part of the next
seasons work and. like the clearance OF
the temple of Queen Hatshepsu, will be a
somewhat costly affair. Unfortunately,
owing to the reorganization of the Ameri-
can committee, the American subscribers.
who have hitherto contributed a substap-
tial share to the finances Of the fund, are
not likely to be liberal usual. More
than ever, therefore, II Is TO the British
public that the fund will have to look for
support

The Boon of Politeness.
London Black and White

From the London Black and White
According to a society paper. although 1t
may be true that English people are less
polite than French, the Englishman has
more real goodness of heart, and tina. ia
what counts in the long run. The unfor-
tunate part of 1t is that in some cases YOU
have no opportunity of taking the long
run. When total stranger in a railway
carriage crosses his feet in such a way as
10 leave Il patch of mud on your trousers
every time. or throws the stub of his cigar
across your paper in order to get it out Of
The window, IT is very little satisfaction to
know that if you were better acquainted
with him you would find him really good
hearted fellow. No one denies the facts
for a moment; but superficial politeness
among people who are meeting for the first.
and possibly the last. time, is no inconsid-
cradle boon. There is a saying on the con-
tinent that If a man about to light his
cigar offers you the match first, you may
safely guess he is Frenchman. If he
lights his own cigar first and then tenders
you the balance of the match, he Is prob
ably German; while IL he merely uses
the match himself and then throws 1t out
OF the window, he is an Englishman.

to be dismayed by a few jolting miles
Every one in the hotel-English American,
German-came out to see us start, predict
ing that If we came back the car wouldn't,
or if it came back, it would be-so to speak
over our dead bodies. Aunt Mary was so
much impressed by these dark prophecies
that she refused to accompany us. and en-
gagged one of the odd little carriages from
the ancient town of Girgenti bristling on
the height above our hotel. Thus it came
about that I had my Goddess to myself,
and in her congenial company 1 hardly
knew whether the road was rough or no.
Certainly the good Napier did not complain.
and as for the tires, the roads of central
Sicily had made them callous.
