ANCIENT EGYPTIAN JEWELS.
Treasure Recently Unearthed in the
Tomb of King Ter Shows Some
Marvellous Work ma nship.

Some of the most remarkable EgTp-
tan jewclry ever discovered has re-
Gently been unearthed. The date as
signed is as remote as 5000 B., c., but
the workmanship in gold and jewels
is marvellous. In exploring the tomb
of King Ter it was found that the
tomb had been entered for robbery
at some remote period and that the
plunderers had broken off the arm of
the mummy quietly and hidden it in
crevice in the wall-perhaps on be-
ing discovered or alarmed-and had
never returned to remove it, says The
New York Herald.
On taking off the wrappings Prof
Petrie found four, magnificent brace
lets of gold, with amethyst, turquoise
and lapis lazuli in varied and elegant
adjustments. The gold work was
peculiarly fine and delicate, though
the metal was soft and pure, appar-
emily with no hardening alloy. The
stones were beautiful and very strik-
ingly and peculiarly arranged.
A number of amethyst beads of the
richest and deepest purple, about a
quarter of an inch in diameter, are IN
the possession of Mr. Edward Aver,
Of Chicago. He obtained them from
Dashone, Egypt, they being from the
treasures in the tomb of Princess
Merit, daughter of Amenhotep H., OF
the twelfth dynasty.

MOOSE JAW, Assiniboia-
Farmers Review. Chicago, July 20, 1903.
Most of the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist Man has
broken them up with orchards, forests
and farm buildings. But in Western
Canada the prairies still stretch grand
ly from horizon to horizon as yet I'M
marred by the hand of man, save
where the iron road has been laid. To
city man there is something de-
liciously restful about the vast grassy
solitudes
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine River, which
keeps in sight Of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass Is one of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific railway from it's eastern terminus
to the Rocky mountains is over plains
where grass grows. The sage brush
appears at some points, but never to
the exclusion Of grass. There is thus
not mile of this country that cannot
be used for some agricultural purpose
either for filling or ranching.
Moose Jaw is town of over 1000
inhabitants and one of the most i'm
portant places in Assiniboia, being the
center of a very good farming coun-
try and a great grain and stock ship
ping point
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand in hand; for near
tie several hundred in number On
another side was seen good sized
herd of dairy cows, the property of the
citizens in the town.
I'm riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some of the farms, and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
Stories were told the writer of men
who last year cleared from their wheat
crop more than the land on which it
was grown originally cost them. This
is easy to believe in view of the large
crop and high price for wheat last
year-Henry F. Thurston."
BY sending your address to any
agent of the Canadian Government
you will have mailed to you copy Of
an Atlas, railway rates, etc, giving
fullest information regarding Western
Canada.

% HE origin of Washington's birth
day as holiday is stated as fol-
lows: On February %, 1888, a
number of gentlemen met in New
York tavern to celebrate the great gen
erals birthday. They then agreed to
assemble in future on that day, cele-
brating it with odes and toasts. Wash
ington's ascendancy shortly after to the
presidency gave a new zest to the AN
nual," so that in time it became general,
and finally grew into legal holiday,
the people demanding it from custom.
The first public celebration of'Wash-
ington's birthday occurred on February
II, 1884, and the anticipated occasion
was thus alluded to by the Pennsylvania
Packet of February II, same year:
"Wednesday last being the birthday
of his excellency, Gen. Washington, the
same was celebrated here by all the true
friends of American independence and
constitutional liberty, with that hilarity
and manual decorum attendant on the
sons of freedom. In the evening an en-
tertainment was given on board the
East India ship in this harbor, to very
brilliant and respectable company, and
a discharge Of 13 cannon was fired upon
the joyful occasion"
