SEALS ON ANCIENT RINGS.
Sacred Beetle Figured Prominently
tBustss of Isis or the Pharaohs 4

Sacred Beetle Figured Prominently
sustss of Isis. or the Pharaohs.
Among the rings found in ancient
Egyptian tombs are many which cru
dlte tessE aErchaeologists ascribe to a. period
slightly anterior to the deluge.
This, however, is debatable ground
the deceptive morass of conjecture
rather than the solid earth of fact.
But we feel the latter beneath our feet
when viewing the massive gold Egyp-
t1an signet rings with revolving cylin.
drlcal bezels of indigo colored porce-
lain or the deep blue. porcelain rings
bearing bust Of Isis or of one of the
Pharaohs in full relief The former
represent the primitive seals in use
when the Israelites were bondmen and
before the pyramids were built; the
latter were the common adornments
of the prototypes of the modern fella-
heen when Solomon was in his glory.
In neither case is the workmanship
meritorious, the "'prentice hand" be-
ing plainly visible; skill in design and
execution was acquired later, and
among the Eturscans attained a de-
gree of excellence never since equaled.
Such Of their work as remains is a
silent yet eloquent testimony to their
marvellous skill, but the secvret that
enabled them to manipulate gold
fine drawn as hair is one of the lost
arts of the ancients.
In the Etruscan as in the Egyptian
rings the device of the scarabaeus or
sacred beetle figurss prominently, for
to both these remarkable races this
curious insect was an object of pro-
found veneration and as sacred and
symbolic in their eyes as the cross is
to the Christian.

A DEBATABLE PROPOSITION.

The Washington Post is of the opin-
ion that "it may well be doubted if
there ever was a time in church his.
tory when the fatherhood of God
was so universally evidenced by the
acknowledgment of brotherhood
among men, especially churchmen,
who profess to be His children and
fellow-subjects of His kingdom on
EARTH"
THE APPEAL is. perfectly willing
to give the opinion of the Post all
the consideration it merits; but, be-
fore coming to final conclusion
respecting the matter, it must learn
what the Afro-Americans of the
United States and the Jews of Rus
sia, as we'll as the Asiatics of Cali
fornia have to say concerning the
point
THE APPEAL anticipates that the
Afro-American would fail to find much
evidence of brotherhood in the
grandfather clauses and Jim crow
laws of the South. .-...
1t further anticipates that the
Russian Jews would fail to find much
evidence of brotherhood in the mas.
sacre of Kischinef.
1t anticipates that the Asiatics OF
the Pacific Coast would not find
much evidence of brotherhood in the
hoodlumism of San Francisco.
Consequently THE APPEAL must
regard the Posts dictum as a de.
batable proposition.

Michigan has new labor law
which is stirring up things in De-

fact that it does away with Satur
day night shopping. It happens that
thousands of factory people have nc
other time to do their shopping

A monster bull moose that has been
loaf1ng around the Saco Ferry district
this month became frightened at dogs
early in the week and swan out to
sea never more to return.
It is believed by George Peterson
of the ferry, who was watching the
moose when he took to the Atlantic,
that the animal became exhausted
and was drowned. Monday the moose
was seen by William Edgecomb and
sons. Several ours were chasing the
king Of the forest and kept close to
him. When the monster beast would
come to a fence he would lift it up
with his horns and throw it to one
side. The powerful animal threw
aside barricades of every kind and
