In the Footsteps of Pharaoh.
| have always thought of the
Pharaoh who oppressed the Israelites
| and forced them to make bricks with
out straw as living at Memphis, near
| where Cairo now stands. The truth is,
he had a great city there. but his
| capital and favorite home was about
$50 miles farther up the Nile valley,
at the very spot where | now am. 1t
was known as Thebes. and 1t was one
of the greatest cities Of antiquity. i.
covered almost as much ground as
Paris, and 1T is said to have had more
! than million people. The city had
walls so thick that chariots drawn by
| a half-dozen horses abreast could cas-
lily pass as they galloped along them
1T had 100 gates, and it's temples and
private houses We're the wonder of
| the world. Some of the residences
were five stories high, the sIfyserapcrs
| of those days. Thebes was noted for
| its wealth, and riches We're added
| to by the successful wars which the
| kings waged with other nations. The
fnonarchs of that day had mighty ar
mics of both infantry and cavalry.
Some OF the .ings had as many as co.
600 war chariots, and ancient writer's
| say that there were scattered along
| the Nile from here to Memphis 100
Estone stables, each large enough to
accommodate zoo war horses.
How Pharaoh Looked.
| 1t brings one close to the days of the
scriptures when enc can put his hands
on the very sarle things that We're
touched by old Pharaoh; when one can
visit the temples In which he wor-
SHIPPED; can sit on the statues erected
/, in his honor, and can look Mt the tomb
| in which his royal bones were laid
away. One feels closer still when lie

shows a broad forehead, strong Ro-

| Jaw. He had big ears set close to the
| head, luxuriant brown hair, and an
Adams apple which rose and fell as
| he swallowed. Some of his teeth, not
withstanding their S,O0O-odd years. are
still sound, and they show plainly out
of pair OF thin lips. He was a tall
man, as can be judged from his num-
my, and the records show he had a
| kingly air.
This man was known as Rameses II.
He was one of the greatest kings OF
ancient Egypt; his temples are scat

LIGHT AND AIR.
Special Advantages Of Having Large
Building Sites.
From the Omaha Bee.

From the Omaha Bee
Omaha Is far in advance Of many east
ern cities in the manner Of plating new
subdivisions in that the new city lots being
placed on the market conform more nearly
to the modern evolutions in home build
ing. Although confirmed customs yield re-
Iuctantly to the compelling force Of new
ideas the lots now being plated in the
city of Omaha are uniformly wider, with
possibly a slight decrease in depth
The standard lot should have and does
have in Omaha a frontage of from thirty
to forty feet and be not less than 100 feet
in depth. Most of lots laid out in the
city in former years were either fifty to
sixty feet width and 1872 to $50 feet deep
or immense lots occupying quarter or half
of an entire block.
With the wider lots ample space for light
and air is provided and relief had from
annoyances incident to too close proximity
to ones neighbor,t however desirable they
may be. The unthinking investor be-
grudges every square foot of land not ac-
tually built upon, but little liberality and
intelligence win show him that open
spaces are often the part of his property
employed to the best advantage, especially
in the construction of flats or apartment
houses.
In a city where territory is practically
unlimited there Is no necessity for the
dungeoning of any one In dark or lily
ventilated houses or apartments Owners
of residence property acknowledge that
values here may never rise to fancy figures
as they have done on Manhattan Island or

STREETS IN PARIS.
Crossing Busy Thoroughfares Becomes
q Municipal Problem.


Paris Is rapidly developing a traffic prob.
lem. 1t is the problem Of crossing the
streets at crowded points at busy hours of
the day. The Paris driver has no considera-
tion for the pedestrian: the law does not
oblige him to have any, and sometimes
the man or woman who attempts to cross a
street risks life and limb In doing So There
are police at some crossings and they will
occasionally hold up the traffic to let people
pass, but there are only few crossings so
guarded.
An engineer named Henard who has
taken up the problem recently. figures that
there are 10000 private carriages and 35 600
rented ones In Paris: there are 10000 cabs
1900 tramway cars. countless wagons and
trucks and 100000 bicycles and tricycles.
The traffic In the streets seems to in
crease perceptibly from week to week
1t is said to have doubled in fifteen wears
and 1t Is expected to double itself again
inside OF decade If nothing happens to
check 1t.
Henard proposes in the first place to
establish isles of safety in the center of all
the squares and open places, including
spacious intersections of streets. He would
tnen insist on all traffic observing rules
much like the system now In vogue In New
York A A>e"
1t Is conceded, however, that this plan
VIII only meet the exigencies of Paris for a
short time, and M. Henard believes sys-
tenn OF tunnels connecting sidewalks and
Isles or safety will have to be constructed
With a Frenchman's eye for ornament, he
suggests that each isle may be made the

Attracted by Puff Of Dust.
At this point Mr. Collins turned away to
glance ssuspicfously up the road, where
puff of dust was visible, and in the brief
interval the reporter, the photographer and
several interested spectators managed to re-
cover their composure without strangling.
Then Mr.. Collins, having assured himself
that mule, and not motor. was respon-
sible for the dust. turned back to the busi-
ness in hand.

years, and much may happen In the mean
time. But the general question of terminal
ports on this side Is certainly having good
deal of consideration at the moment. We
are about to witness an Inauguration of the
White Stars Southampton experiment. The
Cunard Company Is known to favor the
English channel. and the claims of Dover
are not to be overlooked. 1 know that the
possibilities of Holyhead as compared with
Queenstown have been under the notice of
more than one company, and who can say
what will happen should the Thames deep

While American plays are being liter
ally showered on London, managers of the
aters profess SO much difficulty in finding
new English plays which are also good
that they are falling back on a wide
spread policy Of revivals. Mr. Beerbohm
Tree Is turning His Majesty's apparently
into repertory theater. therein following
the example of tire Court Theater. where
Messrs. Vedrenne and Barker have at
tanned success by a consistent policy OF
this kind. Another illustration of the al
legged difficulty of securing new plays was
the revival on Saturday night at the Duke
of York's Theater of Capt. Robert Mar
shall's amusing comedy, IA Royal Fam
ily.' This. of course, owes its popularity
to it's mildly satirfeal sketches Of royal
personages and TO the charm of its pleas
ant story of romantic royal eourtship.
The play was not nearly so well acted as
on Its production eight years ago, but 1t
was none the less heartily applauded. Still,
ii would be more gratifying sign of the
vigor of the contemporary theater If man
agers were not compelled to fall back so
often on old plays and were able to give
the new men" their chance.
