The residents of Tarkhan must have
been extremely prosperous, according
to the evidence furnished by the exca-
vations. They were provided abun'
dainty with beautiful ornaments 1or
their households and persons, and also
with innumerable useful articles OF
practical necessity in the kitchen, the
dining hall aad the boudoir. Some OF
the tombs are SO well preserved that
the whole story of Egyptian reverence
for the dead and belief in immortality
can be read by a glance at the TOMB.
In the brick wall above the grave may
be seen the little slit through which
the soul comes forth for its offerings.
The offertory still stands. as do the
piles of pottery which once bore food
and drink for the departed, and which
were brought to the tomb by the rela-
tives and friends.

The newcomer in the south is likely
to be surprised some morning by hear

The hooking birds powers of imi-
tation have been much commented
upon, but can hardly be exaggerated.
One has been observed to mimic four
teen different birds in the course of
half an hour, each SO perfectly that it
was hard to believe the medley of
sounds proceeded from single throat.
The only perceptible difference in
the real song and the imitation is that
the mocking birds note is usually
