soul HOUSES" FROM EGYPT
Boston Museum of Fine Arts Receives
Valuable Egyptian Relics.

Valuable Egyptian Relies.
Two soul houses" probably more
than 5000 years old. were recently in
stalled in the Egyptian department OF
the Boston Museum of File Arts
While possessing no Importance as art
objects. they are OF great historical
interest, because they show what were
the ordinary houses OF the Egyptians
in the country at a date prior TO 1000
Il. c., says the Boston Globe.
These soul houses" are made OF
rough pottery and were placed upon
the graves for the shelter of the soul.
They show that from simple hutches
the Egyptian dwellings developed into
houses of several compartments. with
courtyards. balconies and stairways. to
what appears TO have been roof gar
den
In one OF those secured by the Mu-
scum Of Fine Arts n pile OF firewood
Is shown i'm the corner of the yard.
and there are bins for the reception of
corn. while the roof is supported in the
front by round pillars. and there are
covered porches on the balcony. The
second one is simpler in form, but has
stairway in the front leading W
TO the balcony.
The strongest belief of the Egyptians
and one which Influenced the whole
character of the nation was belief IN
the Immortality Of the soul. or "ka
