DELVE In THE PAST
NEW AND INTERESTING LIGHT
ON EGYPTIAN HISTORY.
British Explorers Find Habitations OF
the Ancient Shepherd kin9s OF
the israeltes. Centuries
Before Christ.

At University College this year the
annual exhibition of the years work
that has been done in Egypt by the
British School of Archaeology and the
Egyptian Research Account has very
wisely been so subdivided as to pre-
sent distinct foci of interest, SO that
the intelligent visitor in surveying the
tokens which Prof. Petrie and Mr..
Duncan and Mr.. Gilbert Smith have
brought home, is conscious OF the
meaning and the implications OF the
discoveries. says the London Graphic.
The exhibits are elucidated by plans
and models; and the rather formal
and concentrated descriptions offered
by the published reports are supple
mented each day by little lectures.
which are delivered in the morning
and afternoon by some one or other
of the archelogosists. Last year the
chief work of the British school was
along the eastern side OF the delta
between Cairo and Ismailia; and 1t
has brought to light, after many cen
turtles, the habitations of the ancient
shepherd kings of the Israelites. the
built. At Tell-el-Yehudlyeh the exca-
vations laid bare great camp which
is certainly older than the eighteenth
dynasty and enshrines within its con
tnes many graves and tombs which
are of the period of these shepherd
kings of Israel who ruled $500 years
before the coming OF Christ. The de-
fenses OF the camp. not unlike great
"fonduk," such as now exists in the
Sahara as refuge for travelling car
avans. were chiefly earthworks: and
1t is evident that its dwellerS relied
on their archers and singers to keep
off the enemy on the long "glacis" Of
the approaches to the walls. But the
camp reveals that the relations be-
tween Israel and Egypt were not al
ways such as have been supposed;
that time brought its revenges, and
that great wall was built around the
camp by the skilled masons Of Egypt
"a wall of finest limestone, in blocks
from the htils % miles away. Truly,
When one contemplates this link Of
continuity of labor between the pyra-
mids and the Assouan dam, one begins
to sympathize with the Egyptians as
race who have never been allowed
to cease from their building. A very
interesting model of this primeval
camp Is among the exhibits. Not less
fascinating is piece of temple sculp-
ture representing Ramessu II. Staying

Israelite city of Raamses at Tell-el-
Retabeh. BY the ancient site of
Avaris was found the great mound and
temple which Onias, the high priest,
built. He had fed from the persecu-
tions of Antiochus Epiphanes, and
came to Egypt about $50 b. C. to
found new Jerusalem and raise a
temple to Jehovah where the Jew
might worship in peace. One of the
most singular discoveries in connec-
tion with this temple was piece of
the builders account showing bricks
to have been delivered by a Jew
named Abram, together with other de-
tails which cor-oborate those that are
set down in the history Of Josephus.

The Cement Industry.

The tremendous development Of the
cement industry in the United States
is revealed by the fact that in ten
years, beginning in 1894, the produc-
ton of Portland cement increased
from 79S,757 barrels annually to 26,-
COS, ,881 barrels. 1t Is estimated that
the output OF Portland cement during
1906 will aggregate 30,0O0,OO0 barrels.
Notwithstanding the rapid develop
ment of the concrete industry in the
United States there is plenty of ce-
ment for home needs and enough in
addition to supply a growing foreign
demand. Consul Harris reports from
Mannheim that Germany's sales Of
cement to the United States, which
for upwards of decade amounted to
more than a million dollars annually
the amount in 1900 having aggregated
1000, 900, have dwindled to half .
million dollars.

HOW THE SWIMMER FLOATS.

To hoat go out into the water as
far as your waist. says August Coun-
try Life in America, throw yourself
on your back facing the shore. Hold
your chin up as hish as possible. This
will submerge your ears, but don't let
this strange sensation worry you. If
the water closes over your head
simply close your mouth and remain
still and stright; you will go under for
a second only.
Now throw your arms out wide be-
hind your back and throw out your
chest. Hold your chin high. Inhale
through the mouth. Exhale through
the nose. You ace now in the ideal
floating attitude. Never lift your
head. Keep straight and still. chest
up, toes showing. chin high and ears
submerged. Try to float as long as
possible, because this exercise forms
the basis, not only for swimming on
the back and fer life-saving, but also
for sustaining yourself quietly in the
water for houis. A 30-minute float is
very respectable performance.

Some Mexican LaWa.

A Topeka man who recently toured Mexico tells that they have some very curious criminal laws down there. For example, the statutes make it twice as much of an offense to mutilate the face of woman as that of man. While in the City of Mexico he attended court one day and saw man sentenced to one year in prison for cutting his para mour across the face with knife. If his victim had been a man the sentence would not have been more than four months at the outside. The law seems to be based on the idea that 8 woman's best possession Is her beauty, and that to mar it does her great injury. There is another curious law. If person should be wounded in an encounter the punishment to the offender is fixed by the number of days his victim has to stay in the hospital or under C doctor's care. A line is fixed at 40 days in the way of general division. If the in- jured man occupies more than 40 days in his recovery the penalty doubles up. As we understand the Topeka man these are not court customs, but statu- tory nactments.-Kansas City Jour nal.

The Pain Family

You know them; they are numerous, and make their presence felt everywhere. The names of the family are Head ache, Toothache, Earache, Backache, Stomach ache, Neu- ralgia, etc. They are sentinels that warn you of any derange- ment of your system. When the brain nerves become ex- hausted or irritated, Headache makes you miserable; if the stomach nerves are weak, in digestion results, and you double up with pain, and if the more prominent nerves are af- fected, Neuralgia simply makes life unendurable. The way to stop pain is to soothe and strengthen the nerves. Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do this. The whole Pain family yield to their influence. Harmless if. taken as directed.

HABITS OF SPEECH

"Why do educated parents allow their children to contract habits of un- grammatical speech that will have to be conquered in after-ife?" asked Q spin ster of mother.
 Because they hate to worry the poor little things about such matters when they are young and should be care free. It seems cruel to be all the time cor recting them and keeping them on their good behavior. They will have to learn the rules of our dreadful language all too soon as it is."

 years of his life. The 18th year
 is critical in very high degree.
 For 7 or 8 years the child Jesus
 had watched the caravans of pil-
 grims as they went away annual
 ly to the great sacramental feast
 of the Passover. He saw his
 parents, Joseph and Mary as they
 joined the caravans and greeted
 them on their return. What
 must have been the feelings of the boys heart when he was told that in few days he must go up with his parents to the great feast of the Passover! He was now a "son of the command ment." For an account of the Institution and meaning of the Passover, read Genesis 18th and chapters. Nothing unusual see3 lS. to have happened in con- nectiS sFith this Passover.

They, with good reason, had great confidence in the wisdom and natural self suffi- ciency of Jesus and probably had not for years found it necessary to hold a controlling and guiding hand upon him as is usually nec- essary for boys of his age. The pilgrims usually travel now in companies, probably did then and one company with Mary and other relatives departed early. Jesus did not join that company, Mary probably expecting him to join a later company of the Nag areth pilgrims. Not seeing him later Joseph probably believed that he had gone on with his mother. When the distressing fact was known, with the feeling most natural to devoted parents, they returned, reaching Jerusa- lem too late to find him by day. light. On the third day they found him among the venerable students and expounders of the law in or about the temple. He was listening to them and asking questions.
 His conduct was evidently something of a surprise and painful one to his parents. This is evident in the question of Mary: "Son, why hast thou dealt thus with us? Behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing."
 His answer, "Knew ye not that must be about my Fathers business" or ''in my Fathers house." was clearly beyond his parents. They could not under stand him. We may not under stand all his meaning, but it is evident that a new world of truth, life and responsibility was dawn ing upon him and he had felt that he must see more of it and he felt that this need not have been matter of great sur prise to Joseph and Mary.'
 He returned with them and for eighteen years labored and stud jed and waited for Gods final time and call for him to really assume the "business" which the Father had sent him to the world to work out.
