 When the terrace in front of the
 colossi was cleared a row of statues

 and of the sacred hawk of the sun al- ternating along the entire langth.
 These figures are most valuable in giv ing effect to the mighty colossi at whose feet they stand They increase
 the size of these giants in surprising
 manner, and they supply the want that
 was not felt before, in a way which
 makes one realize what great archi- tects the ancient Egyptians were.
 An examination of the colossi showed that they were in very dangerous
 condition; and tons of cement had to
 be shot into the cracks and cavities, the smaller cracks being fastened to- gether with iron pins. Many repairs were also made in the inner halls, and when, recently, the work was finished the temple presented very different appearance from that of its former
 ruinous and half buried condition. It had perhaps lost its picturesquesness but it had gained maryelously in gran
 deur; and much credit is due to Mon-
 sieur Barsanti, the agent of the depart

zon the yellow brown sandstone of the temple becomes all ag1ow and has an appearance of translucency which is most effective. The inner halls, which are usually almost dark, suddenly burst into light as the sun strikes down the central aisle to the innermost sanctu- ary, where 1t Eliminates the statues of the Pharaoh seated with the gods. The temple is a marvellous piece of workmanship. Although both the facade and the inner halls are ornamented with colossal figures, pillars and various ar- chitectural devices, and although there are some 12 chambers besides the great halls, no masonry has been used, and the entire temple has been carved out of the rock, the chisel being the single instru- ment employed.
 For many years the Egyptian depart ment of antiquities has been troubled in regard to this temple by the great drift of sand, which was slowly but steadily pouring down, covering @ large part Of the facade, and threatening to. block the doorway. In 1909, therefore, excavations were commenced with view to clearing away the sand and exposing whatever might exist beneath it. The sand was removed in trucks, and was thrown down the slope in front of the temple so as to form a wide and very effective platform, held firm by strong retaining walls on the river side.
 When the drift was removed a small chapel was found, in which stood an al- tar with two obelisks before 1t and a shrine beside it. In the shrine were the figures of a large scarab beetle and m ape: and upon the altar four more apes stood The rising sun would strike be- tween the two obelisks, themselves sym bols of the sun; and the priest, mounting

A Train Load of Monkeys

Y
 A plague of monkeys some years ago sorely troubled the officials at a small station on the Saran railway, in North west India. Trucks full of grain for ex- port were often stored up in the sta- tion. and the monkeys came down in large numbers from a neighboring grove to help themselves to the grain, picking holes in the tarpaulin roof of the wagons,
 The officials were weared out with keeping watch and soaring away tho thieves, who daily grew bolder. till an ingenious guard hit upon a stratagem. For several days sweets and fruits were put on the roofs of the wagons with the result that the whole of the monkey colony were attracted to the spot, and soon became perfectly indifferent to man. One morning when they were all busly feeding, an engine was stealthily attacb- ed to the wagons, and suddenly the train moved off. The monkeys were quite scared and made no attempt to escape, sitting crouched together until the train had gone several miles and stopped at a jungle. Then they wanted no hint to leave. Every monkey leaped down howl ing and fled into the jungle. whence they never returned to trouble the railway.

ABU SIMBEL
Recent Revealing Excavations About
 Famous Old Egyptian Temple

From the Illustrated London News.
 The temple of Abu Simbel is, perhaps, the most impressive monument upon the banks of the Nile. It is situated some 30 miles below Wady Halfa, on the west bank of the river, and Is entirely cut out of the natural sandstone of d bluff of rock overlooking the water. It was built by Rameses II, the tradi- tional Pharaoh of the Oppression, about 1900 B. C., and was especially designed for the worship of the sun god Ra- Harmachis. The facade of the temple faces directly towards the sunrise and the four colossal seated figures of the Pharoah, carved out of the living rock
 seem, at that hour, to be watching the sun as it passes above the distant hills
 Above the doorway into the inner halls stands the hawk headed figure of Ra- Harmachis himself, as though emerging from the mountain to greet the daylight and, high up on the cornice, a row of uscred apes crouch with hands raised in adoration. Travellers who are fortunate enough to see the sunrise at Abu Simbel cannot easily forget its impressiveness. As the golden orb rises above the hort-

It was attended by large n,nber of club members, their wives and friends. the informality and good cheer making it the most genial of entertain ments.
 The club was simply decorated, festoons of southern smilax, but suggesting the merry season. Eggnog was served throughout the morning. A number re- mained for dinner in the cafe, where there were some delightful little parties

 could scarcely believe was for her own poor little self. for this rich old Aunt usually sent knitted things that she bought at Christmas Bazars the week before Christmas.
 She always considered it foolish to send the nieves of the family gewgaws of 1ewelry because she was sure that they threw them aside with casual, I've got one of those,'' just as lots of people look c book over and then discard it with the trite remark, rye read that"
 Hence, the knitted things.
 But the lovely Amethyst and Pearl Brooch was right there. and it was hers
 Here was lovely pale blue Sandal wood fan that Nancy adored, ana 1t was in a quaint Spanish case, with pic- ture of a real live Bull fight painted on the outside of 1t, and lovely Senoritas applauding and throwing roses at the champions.
 "IIow nice of Dick to take the trouble of selecting this for me-" she said. Even though he's over in Cuba, he's thinking of mel"
 There is something very appealing and very fattering in the fact that man has taken the trouble to select a pretty Christmas Gift for girl
 And Nancy was so glad she had sent Dick the very thing that she knew he would like most. for it was something about his own dear United States and she knew it would please him.
 Nancy had made for him a book of her pet "dlnner stories," which she had col lected since he had been gone, and ar ranged them with marginal notes.
 It was real test of friendship for her to give her best stories to anybody un- til she had told them herself. but she made an exception of Dick, over there with all those Cubans and 'Furreners.'

missed a lot in life by being away from his friends and his home and his coun- try, there was one thing that he didn't miss, and that was the point of one of ,Nancy's stories, which covered all other defects in her eyes.
 The girl in question liked queer boxes and baskets of all descriptions, and her friends had remembered her with an as- sortment of them that would make the "Choosest' girl in the world happy. They ran about her like Chromatic Scale, from quaint little Bisque affairs to Gold arrangements with "forgetmenots" and silver filigree things on down to bamboo baskets from Japan, baskets full of the odds and ends she liked-soft, dainty 'ker- chiefs, bits of lace and trifes thin as air.
 Here was real lace handkerchief from a friend in Paris, and a tulle bowed af- fair from a girl who was spending the winter in vienna, on to faint scented ar tifcial French flowers.
 All sorts of fool feminine trides she got, without which Christmas wouldn't be Christmas. A great box of silk stockings and the

 There were telegrams from suitors away from here and friends, and some of her family, two Special Delivery let ters and bewldering assortment of im- personal Christmas Cards.
 The library looked like a miniature Florists Shop: there were boxes of American Beauties and corsage bouquet of Parma violets and Lilies of the Val ley. and there were fragile white Hya- cinths in pots and beautiful flaming Poin- settas.
 How sweet!
