The Temples of Karnak.

OF all the monumental ruins of the
ancient world there is probably no one
of more intrinsic interest than Karnak
town of temples" With history
extending from the first dynasty down
to the Roman occupation of Egypt, it
epitomizes the history of religion for
5000 years, and is quite unique as a
historic document. Since 1895 sys-
tematic excavations have been carried
on there, and now vast collection
of photographs, and plans, and de-
seriptions 'ie useless, because unpub-
lished and inaccessible to scholars
and the public. A correspondent of
the London Times calls attention to
the matter, and urges an immgediate

KITCHEN WRINKLES

If little saltpetre is sprinkled over
the fire occasionally it will keep the

After washing cut-glass articles let
them dry and afterwards rub them

Potatoes are more nutritious il
boiled in their skins, after being
rubbed clean; they can be skinned be-

After using a gas stove for baking
leave the door open a little while to
allow the heat to escape. This will
prevent sweating and rusting.
The best way to keep a dustbin
fresh and clean is to put hot ashes into
it each time it has been emptied. 1t
keeps it quite clean and free from all

Celery or parsley rubbed on the
