Surely a poet should be found some
where, to sing with fitting sentiment
the story of how archaeologists in
Egypt lately have come upon ancient
iharps, three thousand years old, the
strings OF which, are still intact and
give forth musical sounds after thirty
centuries OF silence
The poet aforementioned should
devote several lines to saying, poeti-
scally, that though we OF today have
seen sights the ancient peoples saw.
though we have read their books,
viewed their embalmed remains.

their pathways, never before have our
modern ears listened to their musical

Family Pride In Germany.

The suicide of Princess Sofia OF
Saxe-Weimar represents a tragedy
which is very old both in life and lit
erature. The opposition to her en-
gagement with the son OF banker.
seems to have been the subject of gos-
sip in Germany for some time, and it
is to this cause that her act OF self
destruction is generally ascribed.
Distinctions Of rank play a part in
German consciousness which we can
scarcely realize in this country, and
they have a basis in history and ma
tional character which is not to be
disposed of by contemptuous aston
ishment. None the less, family
pride" seems to cut a poor figure by
the bier OF a young girl self.destroyed.
