there began q monster pilgrimage hither.
Thousands gazed upon the sacred relic
and were cleansed Of their ills. Protestant

An Early Egyptian statue.

Students of ancient Egyptian his
tory will be interested to learn that
life-size statue of red granite Of a
king Of the thirteenth dynasty has
just been placed on exhibition in the
Northern Egyptian Sculpture Gal
lery of the British Museum. The
statue. which says the London Globe,
is that OF the Pharaoh Ra-sekhem,
natch-tani or to give him his usual
and shorter name Sebekhetep H., rep
resenting the King seated upon his
throne which is ornamented at the
back with figures OF lions and hero
glyphs giving his name, but which
have suffered considerably owing to
the weathering OF the stone.
Sebek-hetep appears not to have
been originally Of royal descent but
the son OF priest called Mentu-ehtep
and very little Is known Of his his
tory or that OF the period in which
he lived. Statues of this King are
extremely rare. and the one Just ex-
hibited is the only one at present in
the national collection. The date of
the statue is about B. c. 1000.

CHICKEN PEAS.
Spanish People Cultivate IL On Great

Washington, July Shake,

Consul-General Ridgley tells the

Why's and whercfores Of Slang.


AS a matter OF fact. a little slang
Is an excellent thing. but in the pre-
sent era OF slang more than the small
lest quantity is a great deal too
much. The English may fairly be
said 10 the most picturesque and
most expressive in the world, and ii
does not need the verbiage of the
slum, or even the catch words and
catch phrases Of the street. to add
to its vigor and variety. As a rule,
the use OF slang is Indicative more Of
paucity Of thought and idea than Of
susceptibility to the humorous and
the graphic. II we tell our friend to
"get onto his job" to get onto him
self" ito get busy" Ito get a move
on" or any one of hundred other
things, we certainly reveal our ten
dency to move with the tide of the
hour. but at the same time we clear
ly show that we are more initiative
than original. We speak slang
frequently through sheer laziness. II
was the last word in the mouth of a
companion. and It becomes the next
word in ours. I: is echoed by the
speaker, by the teacher. by the lee
turer, by the writer, but with rare
exceptions II never becomes anything
but slang, After all. It is only the
best OF slang that survives, but even
then we need not excuse ourselves
for becoming proficient in its use.
We should think Of the present as
well as the future. Why use slang
when we can speak the speech of our
heritage equally well? Why become
the blind leaders OF the blind?
