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

Mr.. Handbook has Just delivered a
lecture on prehistoric Egypt at the
British museum, the first of 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
to examine some early ceremonial
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 1t 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 uniication
Of all Egypt under one monarch. the
legendary Mona, one whose histori-
cal counterparts would appear to have
been Aha-Men.
The early predynastic Egyptians
were Neolithic, and the fiints of their
workmanship are the finest wrought
fiints in the world, but later on copper
came unto use.
The Semitic element in the Egyptian
language proves conclusively that
there was 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 period
in question the Sumerians and not the
Semites were in all probability the
ruling factors in Babylonian civiliza-
tion. Mr.. Handbook concluded his lee
ture with some remarks on the paint
ings on early Egyptian pottery, which
showed that they knew how to build
and navigate sailing boats as well as
rowing boats from the earliest times.

He advanced toward her now, his
arms extended, in his face all his
awakened passion as he saw her once
more so close at his side.
"What!" exclaimed Kitty, pushing
him back. "Surrender-you ask me to

smiling sadly as he saw her go.

to himself-"some day! Tomorrow

Art of Japan.

A certain fastidiousness, O certain
love Of scrupulous and cleanly order,
belongs to the Japanese character; we
find it in their manners, their habits,
their furniture, in all their workman
ship. The word exquisite, 30 often
vaguely misapplied, is an epithet truly
applicable to the art Of Japan. The
faults of this character are tendency
to the smallness which often goes with
neatness. The Japanese do not work
under the pressure Of abundant ideas
and torrential emotions; they do not
fall into the excessive extravaganza
which sometimes besets the Chinese.
But their unfailing sense of style CON-
pensates in great measure for their
lack of more genial exuberance.
Taste with them, as with artists like
Velasquez and Whistler, becomes no
mere negative avoidance. One might
well compare the Japanese genius in
some aspects with the Latin genius,
as it is shown in much Of the poetry
Of the Romans and of the French,
where telling economy of words and
fineness of handling are made to COM
pensate for slightness or even com.

Brilliant! There is safety in me-
diocrity. Brilliant men and women are
always carried away by their ambi-
tions, for which they will sacrifice
everything. A dray horse for long
pull and a race horse for spurt. 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

DR.. Francis r. Smiley, who is to
direct the Union Eyangelistic campaign
in our city, was born in Philadelphia,
Pa. He received his early education
from the public schools of his native
city.
After a short business career, he
determined to secure college educa-
ton and entered the West Philadel-
phia academy. He matriculated in the
University of Pennsylvania, from
which he graduated with honor, receiv-
ing from his Alma Mater the degree
of NJ A. He studied theology In
Princeton seminary taking post
graduate course in philosophy under
Dr. McCosh.
After graduating from Princeton, he
pursued his theological studies in the
Free Church college of Edinburgh,
Scotland and was later honored with
the degree Of d. d. by Highland uni
versity. He has q wife and five
children.
His first pastorate was in Philadel-
phia, where he labored two years, re-
ceiving 300 members. His last charge
was at Denver, Colo, where, in the
few years of his pastorate, more than
700 members were received into the
church.
Unlike many modern evangelists he,
does not employ retinue of assistants
to direct the several departments of
his work. He rather depends upon
and trains local talent, which proves
both economic and efficient. And he
thus leaves behind trained band to
continue work in the churches after
the evangelist has gone,
His success in reaching the masses,
and the constant calls upon him to
conduct special meetings, led him to
resign his charge and give his talent
to the wider field of evangelistic work,
in which he has labored SO successfully
both in Europe and America for
twenty years.
The opening service of these union
meetings will be held at three o'clock
Sunday afternoon, followed by another
at 1880 in the evening. There will be
the usual Sunday morning services in
all the churches, but no evening
services, except at the union meeting.
1t is contemplated that this arrange
ment will be carried out each Sunday
during this union revival effort

We do not want you to cumber our
corridors with your dead. Let 1t be
peace then. and this time let your
word be kept. Begone then, and thank
good fortune, and not your just de-
serts, that you have life left for YOU
,1f any Of you remains death shall be
his fate at once. Decide quickly, my
good Sachio You have not long to
live. The moat waters are not yet
touched-they will flood these cham
nels in the rock to their very roofs
Decide then"
Enough. enough" cried Sachio,
holding up his hands, I'VE submit
we surrender-we agree"
Count Frederick reversed the wheel.
Little by little, the gurgIing 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.
$50, your majesty" said Count
Frederick to King Michael, where
there is will there is way--it seems
the proverb is proved true once more.
We were not far alike from death and
burial here ourselves. Had our friends
the enemies remained much longer,
we would have taken toll of them to
the last man. Twas lucky, my recol-
lection Of the old tradition about the
wheel and the water gates.
But come now, perhaps your mai
esty will rest" said he in conclusion.
Il think we shall now have better op-
portunity to do SO. Unless am now
far mistaken, our friends of Grahof-
fen will leave us. Not only with fire
and sword, but with the waters under
the earth, we have smitten them.
'As for you, mademoiselle," said he
when at length they had escorted the
monarch to place of greater safety,
II congratulate you also on the escape.
You aided handsomely as ever. But
for your courage we could not have
succeeded" m
1T was nothing said Kitty. "The
trapped animal fights desperately"
1T is of no importance" said Count
Frederick calmly. A peril passed is
passed, and need give us no more
concern. But stay, there was some
unfinished business between you and
me, mademoiselle. Tell me, why
should we be enemies still, since we
have learned to fight shoulder to
shoulder against the enemies of our

He knew what 1t was and what it

to Kitty. in a quick aside. Engage

Count Frederick knew that this
wheel and the levers beyond con-
trolled the drainage outlet of the
great moat which surrounded the
rear portion of the castle. Those low
er gates once opened, there was moth
ing to prevent flooding OF the subter-
ranean passages. The moat waters
had been used for that very purpose
in the past-so ran tradition
great had been the slaughter wrought
upon ancient enemies of Gretzhoffen
through that very means. Here they
were living in the past-here they de-
manded of the past its secrets-here
they were surrounded by all the grim
memorials of the past. Why, then,
thought Count Frederick, why not use
that past and the means that once
had been sufficient to it?
He laid his hand upon the wheel.
1t had not yielded to an arm less pow
erful than his, and even his strength
was necessary to its limit before he
could force it to yield. long disused as
It had been here. But at length 1t
did turn little, and then more and
yet more.
The result was beyond all calcula-
tion. There came the sound of rip
pling, and then OF rushing waters. 1t
came in the passages back of the in
vaders, 1t filled the stone floors along
the corridors. 1t Tapped their feet. 1t
bathed their ankles. 1t rose swiftly
to their knees. And then consterna-
tion seized upon all those who but now
had stood triumphant, taunting, mem
acing. OF truth, the trapped crea-
lures had turned and wrought their
own vengeance.
Quick, get to safety" commanded
Frederick now And even as he and
his companions found little higher
level in another chamber whence
they could see the work of the wa
ters on their foes, those foes them
selves began to cry out in terror at
the mysterious enemy against which
they could not battle.

Sachio now to the tall figure at his
side-"your majesty"
