EARLY CARICATURES.
Quaint Art and Humor of the Ancient
Egyptians.


The fables Of Aesop prove that the
ancients were not without liking for
fun, and the remains of ancient art
tell the same story. Examples of ar
tistic humor are more common than Is
generally supposed.
A drawing on tile In the New York
museum represents cat dressed as an
Egyptian woman Of fashion. She is
seated languidly on a chair, slipping
wine out of small bowl and being
famed and offered dainties by an alb
ject looking tomcat with his tail be
tween his legs.
Il he cat figures largely In the ancient
comic groups OF animal life. In a
papyrus in the British museum a flock
of geese are being driven by a cat
and a herd Of goats by two wolves
with crooks and wallets. One of the
wolves Is playing a double pipe.
There is In Turin papyrus roll that
displays whole series of such comica'
scenes. In the first place. a lion, q
crocodile and an ape are giving Il vo-
cal and Instrumental concert. Next
comes an ass dressed, armed and scep-
tered like a pharaoh. With majestic
swagger he receives the gifts present
ed to him by cat of high degree, to
which bull acts as proud conductor
A lion and a gazelle are playing at
draughts, hIppopotamus is perched
in tree, and hawk has climbed into
the tree and is trying to dislodge him.
Another picture shows a pharaoh in
the shape Of a rat drawn In carriage
by prancing greyhounds. He is pro-
ceeding to storm n fort garrisoned by
cats having no. arms, but teeth and
claws, whereas the rats have battle
axes, shields and bows and arrows

Beresford would not have been re-
tired until 1911. His retirement now
is said to be due to his lack of sym
pathy with the admiralty and the de-
sire of the naval authorities to group
the channel squadron, which he has
commanded, with the main fleet, under
the command OF Vice Admiral May.
Lord Beresford's friends believe that
he has been forced out of the navy by
the faction that follows Sir John Fish
er, first lord of the admiralty, with
whom he has recently waged a con-
stant strife.
The press is showing much interest
as 10 whether Lord Beresford will
stand for parliament, as he has done
before, and debate naval policies.

cd nm ordinance calling for an election

proceeded carefully with every detail
Of the estimates Of cost of the system
under the engineering of Bullock, who

which is less than II was believed II
could be done for. This means that the
mains will run in the alley WAYS aud
that the exit IL carried out 10 the Pc

objection that had been mcnt ioncd has
