Woman Highly Respected

Woman Highly Respected
 Continuing his discussion of the position or women in ancient Egypt, MT. Baikie says:
 Though there are certain features, such as their loose ideas in the matter of con sanguinity, which shock our modern sense or morality, the ideas and practices of the ancient Egyptians in respect to the position of women are remarkably ad- vanced and rational. comparing very fav- oraDiy with those of the great nations of ciasslcal antiquity. Woman was to the egyptian not the slave of man or the minister of >his pleasures; she was his co1ppanion, his fellow worker on very equal terms, often his adviser not infre- quently his ruler
 Where existed in the Egyptian mind a sentrVent that could almost be called reVerV ice for womanhood, particularly in respey of it's great function of mother hood "a sentiment which is much mora akin 10 our modern western view tia anvt9lnR else that we meet with 3 nong ancient peoples The mother was ressnact ed Tor her supreme share Tn the lifa and m bringing of her children. and/ for all the ser sacrifice which is essepkIallv involved in true motherhood, a7,r,sd from the very earliest days the .es5ild was careful,v in- doctrlnated witssh the duty of reverencing ano s. ioving .9l1e mother who bore and nour-

Under the middle Kingdom this rule prevailed to such an extent that the inheritance passed from one family to another through herr esses. He who married an heiress gained for his son the inheritance of his father in-law.

 PUBLIC QUESTIONS Recent Explorations in Egypt Reveal What Was Very Probably the
 First Suffragette Plot
 in History
Rx c. E. STEWART

Washington, June 3.-(Special.) )-What was probably the first suffragette plot in history is described by James Baikie Tn communication to the National eGo- graphic society at Washington summar- izing the more recent explorations and excavations in Egypt, which have done much to reveal the history of an ancient world power.
 We have a very full record of the pro- cess against certain ladies of the harem of King Rameses III of the twentieth dynasty which exhibits the harem in- trigue in all it's familiar features" writes Mi. Baikie. 'Officias of the harem are bribed, inviting the help of the army to overthrow the King and set up pretend CT, and the resources of witchcraft are called in to insure the success of the scheme In this case even the discovery of the plot did not put an end to the machnations of those concerned. The jsdges in the trial were tempered with and the result was a highly discreditable exposure of the corruption of the Egyptian >bench as we'll as that of the harem"

LATEST PARTISAN FAD
Associated Press ]

PARIS, Aug 1.-THE latest fad
among fashionable Parisians is hav
ing the tongue read. "Glossomancyr
as the new science is styled, is akin to
chiromancy and graphology, and con
ststs in having the character told by
the shape and dimension of the
tongue. A long tongue shows frank
ness, a short one, discrimination; a
broad one, unreservedness; a narrow
one, concentration. When the tongue
is long and broad, it is sign that
its owner is inclined to gossiDing;
when it is long and narrow, that he is
moderately frank and open. Those
who possess short and broad tongue
are untruthful, and people should be
careful of those whose tongue is short
and narrow, for they are sly as well as
bad tempered. The new science
makes sticking out the tongue not
only bad hammered but dangerous.
