The progressive annexation by the
historian Of the prehistoric era, credit
for which must be given, first Of all, 10
the cxcavator and the gcologist, Is one
Of the triumphs of the last twenty years.
NJ. MOrct tells us what is known to-day
of the prehistoric inhabitants of Egypt,
the men Of the Delta Of the pal8oithic
and neolithic periods. As elsewhere, the
guide posts along the all but obliterated
path are graves and stone implements,
pottery, articles Of personal adornment
and the like.
The question Of the origins Of Egypt
may be put to-day in the following terms.
a race, called native or indigenous, having
attained the highest stage of neolithic
civilization, occupied the valley of the
Nile. a foreign race, more civilized, Of un-
explained origin, displaced the first and
founded around Abydos kingdom which
we call Thinite
In the field Of Egyptian prehistory the
palm belongs to Professor Flinders
Petrie, and, later, to Mr. J. de Morgan.
The author enters deeply into the re-
ligious beliefs of the Egyptians in his
chapter on the Pyramids. The life Of
the dead IN TOMB OF pErdlulu' Or IdlHeI,
the continued existence on earth Of the
"Ka," or inner self the man within
the man"-was, they believed, quite in
line with the existence led before physi-
cal death. 1t was the comfortable life
enjoyed by wealthy men on earth, but
without the contingencies Of misfortune
and unhappiness. Hence the cheerful
tenor Of the decorations Of the ancient
Egyptian tombs, which always depict
their occupants engaged in the pleasant
est Of human pursuits. Gradually this
conception Of life after death ceased to
satisfy, and the tomb came to be re-
garded, not as a permanent shelter
alone, but as a point OF departure for
the journey TO higher realms, the love

The worlds interest in folklore has
abatcd somewhat since the days of Max
Miller and his epoch making interprc-
tations Of the legends of primitive peo-
rles. The science of the deeper signifi-
canoe of sun and nature myths and
hero tales has become the exclusive
province of n small body of specialists,
while tho layman has returned to
simpler attitude Of mind toward this
literature, which. bn it added, is perhaps
the better spirit-fOr the layman-for
the enjoyment Of this form Of entertain
ment and instruction Of our earliest an
cestors. Folklore is undoubtedly the
earliest fiction with a purpose" but 1t
las the merit, rare nowadays, Of being
ENJOYABLE even when the purpose is dis
regarded. or at least not too pOintedly
insisted upon.
Such a volume of folklore for popular
reading Miss Katharine Berry Juds)n
offers us in Myths and Legends or
Alaska" She has compiled it from the
collections made by government eth
nologists. taking care. as she informs us,
to select "Only the quaintcst and purest
Of the myths" Much of this Far North
crn folklore, she explains further, is
better left TO specialists and hardly ht
for general reading. but the tales she
has selected have scrupulously been left

there the directness has been adapted 10

versions, is given with a fair degree of

Some of these tales are we'll worth

0cIightfuly related to the environment
IN which thew originated and evolved.
