EGYPTIAN "SOUL HOUSES"
Recent Discoveries Show That They
Were Buried Under the Sand
For 5000 Years.

During last winter many pottery
models OF houses were brought TO
light in upper Egypt. They came
from a large cemetery near Rifeh, in
the Nile Valley, and belonged to the
ninth or twelfth dynasties, which
would be about 1900 to $500 b. G.
The models were on the foot
plain" formed by about half mile
OF desert between the cliffs and the
Nile mud cultivation and cut in a
gravel shoal, accumulated by wash
from the desert hills during rare
storm bursts. SO exceedingly rare
were these storm bursts that they
generation. In 5000 years about
twenty-five inches Of gravel had ac-
cumulated at the rate of about half
an inch each century.
Explorers on cutting through these
twenty-five inches discovered hun
dreds Of graves. All had been plum
dered Of their valuables long ago, but
the plunderers had taken no heed OF
the pottery model houses. The mod
els are believed to have been placed
on the graves to provide shelter for
the souls when they came out in
search OF sustenance.
These early models. being much
exposed. are seldom perfect Their
origin ia I'm the tray OF offerings,
which. however, were felt to be in
sufficient for soul coming up from
the earth below, so a shelter for the
soul was accordingly built, apparently
copied from the Bedouin tent.
Later n small hut, in shape like
a sentry box. was provided. some
times containing chair; then por-
tico was added. "A raised cope put
round the roof, and a canopy and
shelter from the sun added above the
water tank, which had from very
early times been a part of the Offer
ings.
In time n whole upper story was
added, with a veranda along the back
OF the roof, and wind openings, and
then furniture began to be added. In
the latest models OF soul shelters
there is a couch in the front portico,
to get the coolest air at night low
down. There is, too. a chair on the
upper floor, to avoid the dust and
hot air from the ground during the
day. In some models there is also a
stool, and beneath the staircase lead
ing to the upper story a woman maxi
ing bread, with large water jar by
her side. The offerings are placed
against the wall between two door
ways. There is considerable varia-
tion in minor details.-New York
Tribune.

"The Peace of God" came nearer to
the meaning than those who called it

To this the Springfield Republican
adds
This is the great imagnati.e
statue concerning which the K Dub
lican said: This marvellous presence
is not man or woman; 1t is a great
and mournful angel, seated, with the
right hand supporting the chin, and
In its strong and solemn features is
embodied all there is of human grief
when 1t has passed the stress of
human passion and must rest 1t
needs the further pursuance of the
thought there is embodied at once
the human repose and the spiritual
mystery of that pause in Life which
we call Death. 1t is the memorial of
woman of rare charm, character
and accomplishment, dying In her yet
young prime-the wife of Henry Ad-
ans, the historian. The idea OF the
sculptor. as Mrs. Dali presents It. is
adequate II is indeed the peace that

How to Cut Bias Bands.
SSese@ %K -sss<

Take a ruler. and with a piece OF
chalk for dark colors and lead PEN
Gil for light mark the bands on the
material. Then carefully join the two
ends OF the cloth so the chalk lines
exactly meet, having the first line
on one end meet the second line on
the other, thus forming a spiral.
Stitch the seam on the machine; then
with needle put few stitches each
side Of the chalk lines, to make the
stitching secure. With scissors begin
at the place where the first band ex-
tends beyond the second, and cut
round and round, following the chalk
line, until the material is cut into
one perfectly Joined piece. .-Wo-

DIR. Bells Plans.

One Of DR.. Bells plans for the sum
mer of 1907, If things went well, was
to put motor in his kite and sea
what ii would do. He has been eX-
perimenting for some time with mo-
tors and .propellers, and drives and
odd-shaped boats with air propellers.
OF course, there will be no man in the
kite for the first attempt, and the
trial will be made over water, so that
there will be the possibility of saving
the kite If, or when, it falls. DR.. Bell
has several motors, and If the first
trial gives any encouragement, Q
more extensive and elaborate expert
ment will be made, and perhaps
who knows?-a man may make the
attempt, flying without a cord, with a
motor, and with a rudder to steer.
That is the goal in view; between ii
and what has been done extends a
great deal of unknown and uneX.
plored aerial country, but the man
who is exploring has long scientific
training and large knowledge to bring
to it; better yet, he has the means
and the enthusiasm, without which
an inventors knowledge is of little
use.-From C. II. Claudy's "Scien.
tific Kite-Flying," in st. Nicholas.

Planting Daffodils Indoors.

The spring Towering bulbs are so
easy Of cultivation, so interesting to
handle, require so little window
room and yield such varied types of
| beauty that one might depend en-
tirely upon them for the winter dis
play OF flowers. In the great group
which is generally included in the
genus Narcissus there Is available
wonderful array OF flowers which will
easily grow indoors; the Daffodils
and Jonquils and the Starfower or
Chalice flower and the Paper-white
Narcissus are the more important
types OF these The bulbs OF good
varieties OF all of these flowers may
be obtained of the florists early In
the autumn at comparatively little
expense. AS a rule they may be
bought much more cheaply by the
hundred than by the dozen, so It may
be worth while TO form a club of your
friends to take advantage OF this fact.
When the bulbs arrive they should
either be planted at once or stored
in a cool. damp cellar where they
will not dry out. They may be plant
ed in almost any kind OF receptacle
although for most purposes nothing
is so satisfactory as the paper flower
pots. In the case of most bulbs, one
may be planted in a three-inch pot
or three or more in four inch pot.
In planting It is only necessary to
use good garden soil, placing a bit
OF broken pottery over the hole In
the bottom Of the pot. The bulb
should be Just buried and the earth
around it packed firmly in place that
IL may not be pressed up as the roots
develop. Water thoroughly and set
away in a cool basement where the
temperature will be low and equable
though not freezing. Sometimes II
is desirable TO throw over the pots
two or three thicknesses OF burlap
or old carpet to prevent the evapora-
ton Of moisture. Water occasionally
as may be necessary TO keep the soil
moist but otherwise leave undis-
turbed for six or eight weeks.
The purpose Of putting these bulbs
away in a dark, cool place is to
enable them to develop such growth
OF roots as would occur in autumn
were the bulbs beneath the soil out
doors. Under the latter conditions
n large root growth would have taken
place in autumn so that the plant
is able to send up It's leaves and
blossoms in spring very soon after
the frost Is out OF the ground. In
the indoor garden we attempt to imi-
tate these conditions just as nearly
as possible; consequently the bulbs
are to be left in the cellar until srch
root growth takes place. that it is
evident the plant can be forced into
blossom successfully. Then is the
time TO bring the bulbs into the light
and heat of the living rooms.
Many of these bulbs may also be
brought into blossom successfully in
water. Wide shallow jars may be
utilized partially filling them with
coarse gravel or broken stone. and
adding water to~cover such material.
The bulbs of the Paper-white Narcis-
sus or the so-called Chinese Sacred
Lily may be set in such receptacles
and placed In cool dark room until
the roots are we'll started.-The
HotNe Beautiful.
