law and the customs" three-fourths

by craftsmen from printed treatise.
The code, In a word, was not sub

hobbies was his desire for the de-
gradation of the civil status Of woman,

DELVE In THE PAST
NEW AND INTERESTING LlGnT
ON EGYPTIAN HISTORY.
British Explorers Find Habitstions Of
the Ancient Shepherd Kings Of
the lsraelites, 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 subdlyided 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 II
has brought TO light, after many cen
turtles, the habltations of the ancient
shepherd kings OF the lsraelites, the
Hyksos and one OF the cities that they
built. At Tell-el-Yehudlyeh the exca
vations laid bare a great camp which
Is certainly older than the eighteenth
dynasty and enshrines within its con
fines many graves and tombs which
are Of the period Of these shepherd
kings OF Israel who ruled $500 year,
before the coming OF Christ. The de
lenses OF the camp. not unlike a 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 keel
on the enemy on the long "glacis" o.
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, an6
that great wall was built around the
camp by the skilled masons OF Egypt
"a wall of finest limestone, in blocks
from the hills 25 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
a race who have never been allowed
to cease from their building. A very
interesting model of this primeva
camp is among the exhibits. Not less

TRlUMPHED EVEN OVER DEATH.
Remarkable Deed Ascribed to Aus
trlan Bandit OF 1880.

Dr. Loye tells the following strange
story, taken from the archives OF an
Austrian police officer, and relating to
an execution said to have taken place
In Vienna In 1850: A well.known ban.
dit named Schavenburg was caught
together with four Of his associates.
and they were all condemned to
death They were already on their
knees, ready to submit to their fate.
when Schavenburg addressed tho
Judge, asking that his four compan.
Ions might be ranged in single file in
front OF him at a distance Of eight
feet from each other.
III. he said, after | am beheaded
| get up and walk to the first of my
comrades, will you pardon him."
The Judge thought he was pretty
safe In complying with the request.
But II ! walk up to the second, the
third, and the fourth. will you pard on
those also?"
The Judge replied that he would OBJ
tain their pardon from the emperor.
The bandit was satisfied. bent his
head received the mortal blow, and
his head rolled down; but to the great
surprise OF the Judge and the specta.
tors, the body got up, walked alone,
passed the first, second, third and
fourth of the condemned men, and fell
down. The occurrence was told to
the emperor, who, according to prom.
ise, pardoned the four criminals.

your chin up as high as possible. This

Now throw your arms out wide be

through the mouth. Exhale through

submerged. Try to float as long al
possible, because this exercise forms
