TELLS OF PREHISTORIC EGYPT
Lecturer at the British Museum De-
scribes Face Paint Found In
Ancient Graves.

Mr.. Handbook has just delivered q
lecture on prehistoric Egypt at the
British museum, the first of a course
of four lectures.
After a detailed discussion of the
dynastic Egyptians on the one hand
and the prehistoric aborigines on the
other, in the course of which he
showed large number Of ivory, slate,
bone and clay figurines recovered
from early Egyptian graves, together
with number of skulls, he proceeded
slate palettes, which are illustrative
of the fauna of the country at that
period, as well as of the artists skill
These palettes were used for toilet
purposes, the malachite which was
used for face paint being ground upon
them, and it is interesting to note that
traces of paint are still visible ON
some of them.
They are of further Importance, in
asmuch as they illustrate pictorially
the traditional conquest of the North
by the South prior to the uni1cation
of all Egypt under one monarch, the
legendary Mona, enc whose historf
cal counterparts would appear to have
been Aha-Men.
The early predynastic Egyptians
were Neolithic, and the flints of their
workmanship are the finest wrought
f1ints in the world, but later on copper
came unto use.
The Semitic element In the Egyptian
language proves co1clusively that
there was a Semitic element in the
blood Of the dynastic Egyptians, but
this fact does not seem to have much
bearing on the connection between
the early Egyptian and Babylonian
civilization as illustrated by the use
of cylinder seals and similar shaped
mace heads in both countries in the
very earliest times, for at the pertoo
in question the Sumerians and not the
Semites were in all probability the
ruling factors in Babylonian civilizar
ton. Mr.. Handbook concluded his leo
ture with some remarks on the paint
ngs on early Egyptian pottery, which
showed that they knew how to build
and navigate sailing boats as well an
rowing boats from the earliest times.

was greeted with cheers by his men
when at length he emerged. Sur
rounded by his soldiers and his Off
GERS, he passed out in retreat from
the scene which but now had been q
triumph for his arms
His officers attended him-all save
one. Count Sachio, indomitable even
in defeat, fingered for just a
time behind the others in the
escape from the submerged pas

he sought az best he might, unguided,

Safe Servers of the Race.

Brilliant! There is safety in me-
diocrity. Brilliant men and women are
always carried away by their ambi-
lions, for which they will sacrifice
everything. A dray horse for long
pull and race horse for squirt. A
plodder to solve problems and the ven
turesome to try their fortunes with
fate. The statesmen whose names sur
vive and whose achievements make
splendid pages in recorded history
were the careful, earnest, studious
men of affairs-not the comets that
shot across the sky, nor the skyrock-
cts that leaped high into the air, leav-
ing a trail of sparks and stick that
fell to the ground.-Leslie's.

Count Frederick reversed the wheel.
Little by little, the gurgling and rush
Ing OF the waters ceased. They
reached their own level again. Once
more the old moat was locked, and
once more drawn battle had been
fought over that secret which still re-
NAMED hidden deep somewhere In
those rock caverns.
Little by little, slowly and in deep
humiliation, the forces of Grahoffen
found their way out as best they
might-or at least most of them did,
including Sachio and Cortislaw, his
king.
Presently Frederick, Kitty and King
Michael were alone once more, res
cued as much by fate, by chance, as
by their own wits-keen as those had
been.

Frederick to King Michael, where

self, 'once more 1 have something

She had occasion to find once more
that the possession Of something Count
Sachio coveted carried with it GER
tain danger to the possessor.
Looking this way and that for some
place of safety, Kitty saw thickly-
branching tree which to her notion
might offer a shelter. Without hest.
tation she climbed up hand over hand,
the paper with her, and sought such |
concealment as she could in the |
branches. From this place of vantage |
she could look down and cover the |
country to some distance. She could |

any but me, but must have it, do you

Like some hounds questing for the
scent they scattered here and there
the trees. 1t was left for Count

looked up.
