THE LAND OF GRAVES.
Ancient Egyptians Believed In Con.
slant Reminders Of Death.

VI gedkns
TO the Egyptian death was but the
beginning of a career of adventures
ana experiences compared with which
the most vivid emotions of this life
were tame. He lived with the fear Of
death before his eyes. Everything
around him reminded him of that
dreadful initiation into the mysteries
OF the tremendous after life for which
bis present existence was but a prep.
aration. His cemeteries were not hid.
den away In remote suburbs; his dead
were not covered with mere grassy
mounds or a slab Of stone. The whole
land was his graveyard; Its whole art
was of the mortuary. "Are there no
graves In Egypt that thou hast brought
us into the wilderness to die? asked
the lsraelltes In derlsion, and we may
believe that Moses WINGED at the sar-
casm.
Egypt is the land of graves, and the
whole energy Of the people that could
be spared from keeping life together
was devoted to death. The mightlest
tombs In the world-the pyramids
were raised upon the deaths of multi
tudes Of toillng slaves. The hills were
honeycombed passages and galleries,
chambers. pits, all painfully excavated
In honor of the illustrious dead and
sculptured and painted with elaborate
skill to make them fit habitations for
his ghost.
Wherever he looked the Egyptian be-
held preparations for the great turning
point of existence. The mason was
squaring blocks for the tomb chamber;
the potter nodded images Of the gods
or bowls and Jars to be placed In the
grave for the protection or refreshment
Of the Ka, exhausted with the ordeals
of the underworld; the sculptor and
painter were at work upon the walls
of the funeral chamber, Illustrating the
scenes through which the ghost was to
pass or depicting the Industrious life
Of the departed.
The very temples which cluster along
the levels beside the Nile were in a
sense but vestibules to the tomhs In
the hills behind. The sacred lake. now
the weedy, picturesque haunt Of water
fowl, was then the scene Of solemn
ferrylngs of the dead. The temple
walls were covered with the terrors OF
the Judgment to come. The houses OF
the living, indeed, were built Of per-
lshlng mud, but the homes of the dead
and the shrlnes where supplicatlon was
made to the gods who ruled their fate
were made to last forever. On these
all the strength, the science and the
artistic skill Of the ancient Egyptians
were cheerfully lavished.-London Sat
