A complication which married the COM

break up the graduation, followed the sus-

graduated unless Huesle was reinstated.
This was done and the services Of gradu-

bottles, filed them with warm milk
and put themin convenient position

sneeza and to sputter in very queer
and discouraging manner, But one

and his three brothers were soon Of
the same opinion,

These were not everyday puppies, but

SEVENTEENTH DYNASTY BELLE.

SEVENTEENTH DYNASTY BELLE.
The beauty secrets Of an Egyptian
belle buried 1850 years ago have
been brought to light by Prof. Film
ders Petrie. He has been at work
among the ruins of Memphis and
Thebes for six months, one of his
greatest achievements being the
partial exploration of the Temple of
Hathor, whose fame has been mod
ernized in "The Worlds Desire" by
Rider Haggard and Andrew Lang.
The secrets of the Egyptian toilet
are part of the spoils of time he has
unearthed.
Among the articles buried with
this beauty of bygone centuries is
a pot of pomatum which still retains
its perfume. There are other arti-
cles whose use will be understood by
the we'll groomed woman Of to-day.
There is jewelry in abundance, and

difficulty to-day in painting female
loveliness of the time of Helen of
Troy than they had in their attempt
to recall the vision of beauty to which
the Temple of Hathor was due.
Chemists will analyze the pomatum;
the toilet articles will be catalogued
by experts and in time will attract q
passing lance from the visitor to the
British Museum.
We read in the news Of the day
that China in 1908 sent one hundred
tons of human hair to the United
States, which helps to explain the
luxuriance of tresses, switches, curls

women and the demands that vanity
still makes for the adornment Of
beauty. The Egyptian belle of the
seventeenth dynasty had so many

During that night a terrible storm
set in, however, and we kept watch to
see If they would give up the chase
on this account and return to the fort.
But no. The night passed away, and
dawn still showed no trace of the
men. The storm seemed to become
more furious with the advent of the
day.
"Then misgivings regarding the
safety Of the men began to take form.
We had now almost forgotten about
the natives, and ous only thoughts
were of the men and how they would
