In Pharaoh Day.
n Harpers Weekly

From Harper's Weekly.
Most of us make the acquaintance of
Egypt in the splendidly dramatic story
of Joseph and his brethren, and so come
to look on Pharaoh and his people as
gloomy and malign prosecutors, fit only
10 be swallowed up in the Red Sea waves.
Or we read of the graves and sober mon
uments of the Nile valley, with their
perpetual reminders of death and the
kingdom OF night with the result that we
are hardly prepared TO realize the gay
and ightsome side Of ancient Egyptian
life. or to credit the thought that these
tom BIB uilders could ever break into a
smile. But there was a side OF gayety
and Of charm. and, just as we are ind
ing that so many Of our deeper and more
philosophical thoughts go back to the
people Of the Delta so We are beginning
10 discover the originals OF all our jokes
in the buried cities Of the Nile.

IN the land OF the pharaohs. we may
Gather from this marriage contract, from
fourth-century Denote manuscript, but
dating in form to far older times:

my husband. Thou makest me thy wife.

had travelled a distance of 1850 meters
and covered an area of about 100000
square meters to a depth of from ten to
twenty meters.
Coming to the lower village, which was
believed to be secure against all possihili-
ties of danger. it bisected it, burying one
half and leaving the other half untouched,
everybody in one-half of the village being
saved and everybody in the other being
killed. In one case a peasant, witnessing
the catastrophe from distance, hurried
down to see whether his house still stood
and how his family had Jared. The house
indeed remained. The door was open,
the fire blazing, the table laid, the coffee
no living soul within. Wife, daughter,
son, sons wife and two grandchildren all
had run out in their alarm, and, getting
right into the track of the rock ava
lanche which they were trying to escape
from. had been knocked down and buried
by it.

The First Automobiles,
From the London Globe.


Nicholas Joseph Cugnot is to have q
monument. If any one asks who Cugnor
was, ii may be said briefly he was the
first automoblllst. Many years before
Stephenson had introduced his railway
locomotive Cugnot, who was a military
engineer. had made a locomotive for
roads. His own folk scarcely. knew Of
him until the recent automobile exhibi-
ton, but his locomotive has been piously
preserved at the Conservative des Arts
ct Meters. The place for the memoria /
is, as it should be, in the commune of
Void (Meuse), where he was born in 1923
Cugnot died in 1904 His lot was not that
of many geniuses. He did not die IN
want. Napoleon had secured him a. pen-
sion of 1,0OJ francs-pasSing rich on forty
pounds a year. In this respect the pre-
mier consul showed more enlightment
than he did in regard to Fulton of steam
boat fame, whom he considerable is
distressing to write it-an adventurer,
Cugnot's carriage was built to transport
arms. and he had designed a service gun,
These achievements alone would be a
passport to Napoleon's favor.

English Names of Paris Streets.

From the London Chronicle.
If the Paris municipal council accepts
the proposal which has been formulated
to rename street after our late king a
notable addition will be made to the list
of English names bestowed on streets in
the French metropolis. Paris already
possesses an Avenue Victoria, a Cite Mil
ton and streets named after James Watt
George Stephenson, DR.. Livingston, New
ton Byron, George Morland, Henry Cav
endish and Priestly. In the matter of
street names the French are much more
cosmopolitan than we are. Statesmen
artists and authors of quite a dozen diff
ferent nations are thus commemorated in
Paris. Even foreign generals are not
forgotten. for there is a Rue Jules Cesar
and a Rue Christian Dewet. The sys-
TEN. however has its drawbacks. 1t Is
almost as difficult for q Frenchman To
pronounce the name Of the Rue Washing
ton correctly as for an Englishman TO
pronounce that of the Rue XaintrailIes.

to compete with the trolley road for the
passenger traffic to the city.
New Road Proposed.
About a half mile north of Bethesda
1t is proposed by the county authorities
to open road that will connect the
Rockville pike with Connecticut avenue
extended. This new thoroughfare is to
start from its western bounds on line
with an existing road known as Lairds
lane, and extend as far east as a tract of
timber. and thence by another roadway
or rather line of such a roadway to the
right of way of the steam railway. and
thence to Connecticut avenue extended.
The new road will also pass through the
property of the Chevy Chase Land Com
pany of Montgomery county, the Column
Col'' lnbia. the West Chevy Chase Land
Company of West Virginia and the
Rosedale Park Company of Arizona
Along the old pike. in addition tC
the subdivisions which are bfllboarded
and in some cases with houses built
are to be found. as one goes north, the
homes of Edward S. Munford, Leigh
Hunt George +. Hamilton and J. G
Corby, the two latter being farms OF
considerable extent, although they are
used by the owners as places to live
rather than to work. They are both
attractive and without being ostenta
tious have thoroughly comfortable
and homelike look Mr. Corby is lay
ing out the grounds in the vicinity OF
his house in accordance with a plan
as suggested by landscape gardener
and it is proving an effective treatment
of very eligible situation.
Eight Miles Out.
Some eight miles out from the city
as the bird flies. but not as the turn
pike Nanders is a group of three places
which are acreage properties with
modern houses and well kept grounds
They are the homes of II. T. Newcomb
f. r. Magic and Cyrus keiser. 1t is
at this point that the trolley road aban-
dons the turnpike and starts off On a
more direct line for it's destina ton
through the fields, and Rockville is
nearly reached before it gets bac to
the turnpike.
Alta Vista has a long frontage along
the trolley road just as it leave; the
pike, and here several houses have been
recently built or are now in course of
erection. oliver E. Pagan, a special as
sistant to the Attorney General, has
begun the building of a home, and a
house has just been finished for Robert

Bleached Flour.
from the New York Press.

OF course, poor, silly, half-bred, newly
rich cattle will have their -four and bread
as white snow. for they think white
ness a sure sign of purity, whereas per-
feet whiteness of -four is a lie. No pure
-four is pure white. Only bleached flour
is snow white. All pure wheat -four has a
natural yellow color. BY blessed good
luck it is easy for anybody with any
sense in q seconds time to tell whether
any dangerous monkeying has been going
on. Shake up a little of the -four you buy

HANDICAPPED.
This is the Case With Many
 Brinkley People.

Too many Brinkley citizens are handicapped with a bad back. The unceasing pain causes constant misery, making work a burden and stopping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the mornMg is stiff and lame. PlasteS and lini- ments may gNe Elief but can not reach the Nuse. To elimi- nate the pains and aches you must cure the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them perma- ncntley. Can you doubt Brink ley evidence?
 H. c. Gibson, Cypress St., Brinkley, Ark, says: Il am firmly convinced that Doan's Kidney Pills are a remedy of merit. For over ten years doc tored and tried various remedies in an effort to rid mysalf of kid ney and bladder trouble, but Doan's Kidney Pills was the first remedy that ever gave me relief. My back pained me almost con- stantly, I had dizzy spells and felt all worn out.
