Hymn Timed Esss.

A well known bishop relates that
while on Il recent visit to the south
he was in a small country town.
where. owing to the scarcity of good
servants, most of the ladies pre-
ferred to do their own work.
He was awakened quite early by
the tones of soprano voice singing:
" Nearer. My God, to Thee" AS
the bishop lay in bed he meditated
upon the piety which his hostess
must possess which enabled her to go
about her task early in the morning
singing such noble hymn.
At breakfast he spoke to her about
it and told how pleased he was
Oh, law, she replied, that ; the
hymn | boil the eggs by; three verses
for soft and five for hard. .

FINDS IN EGYPT.
Ancient Palace Discovered by British
Archaeoloeist.

Prof. Flinders Petrie recently cave
an account of the work Of the British
School of Archaeology during the
past season at Thebes and Memphis.
The great result Of this year at Mem
phis has been the discovery of the
place of King Apries Pharaoh
HOphra of the Bible-who was con
temporary with Jeremiah. Hitherto
no place has been known in Egypt
beyond the tower at Medinet Habu
and some portions of rather earlier
date, The palace now discovered
is of impressive scale, about 400 feet
long, and half as wide. The Middle
Court is we'll over q hundred feet
square, and the painted stone col
umns in it We're more than 40 feet
high. The stonelned halls, Of which
seven remain, were over 40 feet long
and half as wide. The brick walls
were nearly as large and the walls
were about ID feet thick. \ still
larger court extended on the north
side, in which lie capitals of columns
which must have been about 30 feet
high. The approach to the palace led
up through large mass of buildings
to Il platform at a height of about 90
feet above the plain. In the ruins
ScarSe armor, hitherto rarely found
in Egypt, was discovered. Good
bronze figures Of gods found. What
Prof. Petrie described as the one Su-
preme piece was the fitting of pal
anquin of solid silver, a pound in
wight, decorated with a bust of Ha-
thor with gold face. of the finest
workmanship of the time of Apries.
The great gateway and the immense
walls descending deep into the mound
indicated that there lay there the
ruins of successive palaces built one
over the other, and Prof. Petrie pro-
phesied that in six or eight years. if
the school received sufficient imam
cial support. they might dig down to
the earliest records of the Egyptian
Kingdom. The Temple of Mer-
enptah occupied large part of the
work, some of the columns and bases
showing that Pharoah was appro-
priating older work. The Temple of
Ptah and the desert village or region
We're also explored during the season.

Who Bought Them?

\ man engaged in buying neck
tie for himself turned the pile over
and over, and at last laid aside two
as not worthy of further cOnsidera-
tion. The salesman picked out one
of the rejected ties. and placed it in
a eparate box. The buyer asked if
the salesman had placed it with those
he was looking at by mistake.
"Oh. no, was the response, but
we have orders when five or six men
turn down a tie to take it down and
put it aside
What becomes of them?' asked
the other.
I'VE sell them to women who
come in here to buy ties for men.

Charles Dick ems, but this was less
than half the sum received years ago
for the pen which the great author
used in writing his Sketches by
Boz. One of the most valuable
souvenir pens of the world is one
that was used by Lincoln when he
was President. 1t is now owned by
Isaac Reed of New York, and the
stock was carved from the lens-box

Empress Eugenie, with which the
treaty of Paris was signed in 1856.
