Egypt exploration fund led tt
- the discovery of a building
which is unique in it's kind, and which
Is probably one of the most ancient
constructions preserved in Egypt. II
consists of great pool with porches
called Strabo's well, and the so-called
tomb of Osiris. 1t is situated behind
the western wall of the temple built
by Seti /, which has been the CHIEF
attraction of Abydos for travellers. II
was entirely subterranean, at a depth
of more than thirty feet below the
temple, and nothing revealed its ex
istenee
The building, as described by
Edouard Naville, director of the ex
cavation, consists of rectangle, the
inside of which is about a hundred
feet long and sixty wide. The two
long sides are north and south. The
Enclosure wall Is twenty feet thick. II
consists of two castings; the outer one
Is limestone rather roughly worked ;
the inner one is in beautiful masonry
are very fine; there is only very
thin stratum Of mortar, which is hard
ly perceptible. Here and there the
thick knob has been left which was
used for moving the stones. The
blocks are very large-a length of
fifteen feet is by no means rare; and
the whole structure has decidedly the
character of the primitive construc-
tions which in Greece are called CYCLIC
pean, and an Egyptian example of
which is at Ghizeh, the so-called tenn
pie of the Sphinx.
This colossal character is still more
striking in the inner part. 1t is di-
vided into three naves or aisles of
unequal size-the middle one being
wider. These naves are separated by
two colonnades of square monolithic
pillars in granite about fifteen feet
high and eight and one-half feet
square. There are five Of them in each
colonnade. They supported architraves
in proportion with them, their height
being more than six feet. These archi-
traves and the Enclosure wall support
ed ceiling, also of granite monoliths,
which was not made Of slabs but of
blocks, like the architraves, more than
six feet thick. 1t has been calculated
that one of the few of them remaining
weighs more than thirty tons. I'm
fortunately, in one corner only has the
ceiling been preserved. The whole
building has been turned into quar-
ry, especially the inside, which was
entirely granite. Pillars, architraves,
ceiling, everything has been broken
and split with wedges, traces of which
are seen everywhere, in order to
make millstones of various sizes. Sew
eral of them, weighing seven or eight
tons, have been left.
Peculiar Design of Pool.
The side aisles only, about ten feet
wide, had ceilings. 1t is doubtful
whether the middle nave was rooted.

ton merely for infiltration water?
There is no doubt that it is what is
called Strabo's well, which he de-
scrihes as being below the temple,
and like the Labyrinth at Havana,
passages covered by big monoliths.
Was there canal coming from the
Nile, as the Greek geographer says?
or was the pool filled by the subter-
ranean sheet of water which flows I'M
der the desert, the so-called under.
ground Nile which is now being
studied closely by the hydraulic engi-
neers of Egypt? These are few ques.
tons which arise from this discovery.

Start Tomorrow
and Keep 1t Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit Of drinking a
glass of bot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest we'll, work well, sleep
we'll, and look well what a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, soal
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass Of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations gases, waste and acid
ity and gives one splendid appetite
for breakfast. While you are are en-
joying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting a
large volume of water from the blood
and getting ready for thorough
flushing of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone pronounced crank on the
subject Of inside-b bathing before break
fast.

IRISH EMIGRATION STILL

DUBLIN, Sept 19.-Irish emigra-

from Ulster is greater than that from

Emigration from all Ireland to the
United States of America has during

THE MEXICAN REVIEW.

Volume 1; Number 1, of the Mexican
Review has been received by the
imes-Recorder 1t states that the
Review is "a journal devoted to the
enlightenment in respect to the hopes,
ambitions, benefcient intentions and
accomplishments of the Constitution
alist government of the Republic Of
Mexico"
The Review is a neat and attractive
publication and its initial numbers
bears the pictures of President Car
rama and President Wilson on the
front page.
A striking sentence from the fore
word as an introduction is "The
Mexican Review is the proponent of
but single policy-neighborliness .
Through the columns the truth
about Mexico will be brought to light.
1t is the inspiration of its producers
that only through complete, unrestrict-
ed publicity can the value of Mexico's S
friendship to her great northern neigh
Dor be made clear"
There is a candor which is appealing
about the Review. 1t is simple, direct
and in its frank statement of purpose
should strike close to the heart OF
Americans. May it prove far unlike
the pernicious Fatherland, which is
dipping in everything Germanic in
the United States, and is encouraging
an extraordinary growth of the hy-
phen.
The Review has a hearty welcome
in the ranks of American journalism

THE CONVENTION.

The third congressional district coli
vention is being held in Americas to-
day, and hearty welcome is extended
the delegates from the fifteen counties
of the congressional district
The meeting of today is merely
formal, and in the customary way the
congressman for the succeeding term
is named as the nominee of the DEM
ocratic party. The nomination n
Georgia is equivalent to election.
Congressman c. R. Crisp has served
the third district for two terms, AMI
the action of the convention today
coupled with the general election, will
furnish him the credentials of the
people for his third term, rounding out
six years of service.
Mr. Crisp has been prominent in the
affairs of the nation during his stay in
Washington. When he was elected
four years ago he was not entirely
new to the national capital as years of
service under his lamented father,
Speaker Charles F. Crisp, together
with the experience as parliamentaria1
under Speaker Champ Clark, made
him familiar and conversant with the
routine of the house of representatives.
Ordinarily it is for congressman
with many more years of service than
yet seen by Mr.. Crisp to be member
of the powerful Ways and Means com
mittee. 1t is the strong arm of the
house, and Mr.. Crisp is a powerful
force on the committee.
His friends rejoice in his reelection,
and his opponents extend best wishes
for the successful administration Of
the affairs of the district for two more
years.
Congress has been target for ma
tion-wide criticism, and even Speaker

COLLEGES OPEN NOW.

| COLLEGES OPEN NOM.
The school children are at work,
and now their larger brothers and sis
ters are in the preliminary work OF
the beginning of the fall terms of the
colleges and universities over the
states.
The preseason football training has
already been under way, and the bright
eyed, youthful complexion of many
cung men have been tanned and bruis-
ed by the hard treatment of Mother
Earth when they came in contact with
the mundane sphere. The ''frats" have
been at work during the summer, AMI
busy first hours of colleges are spent
in the rushing of the fraternities
Boys are made and ruined at this ply
otal point It is here where the first
impression is created, and the first
step is made towards successful col
lege course or failure, with the pos
sibilities of disgrace.
At the girls colleges there is no foot |
ball training-but the 'frats" have
their work. The culture of Miss -
is considered, and her money is fore
most. She must be attractive, and
yes, have large wardrobe of gowns
Should she possess all of these re-
cuirements, she is acceptable. This is !
very true in many Southern colleges
for women, while others have freed
themselves from this entangling mis-
conceptions of the virility and strength |
of life.
O %
The fraternity and sorority is Won
derful asset in the growth of life
which will prove benefcial-if the
boys and girls teach the true creeds
and mandates of their orders Lineage
should not be reckoned, if they be not
worthy. Glittering gold is to be de-
sired, but it is no fundamental ten
strike. Fine clothes are pretty, but
neatness and simplicity win above all.
Real character, manliness and woman
hood, enshrined in true hearts of re-
spect and democracy, are bulwarks for
the growth and progress of the nation.
The future-and posterity, must bow
to the actions of the college students
when they begin to mould the sphere
OF 'life's fitful fever"
|
One appalling catastrophe in pres
ent day colleges and universities is
the staggering percentage of stud
ents who enter college; spend a term
or year, or two years--but never
graduate. They do not run the race
which is set out for them. They eithe.
give up or fail. The college course is
discipline, and to conquer one must go
the entire path There are some who
leave college for financial reasons;
but this is insignificant compared
with the prosperous student-whose
family has riches, and who never
passes beyond the freshman, and pos
sibly sophmore year. The sticking
qualities of mankind are tested in
the institutions of learning in Amer
lea.
There will be number of book
worms developed in the schools. 9th
ers will go to college to take part in
athletics, while others must develop
their forensi powers and allow the
forums to be prosecuted with their
startling oratory. Many go for
good time;" just a little while away
from home. Many go, and it certainly

1t is hotter to lose with a conscience
clean.
Than to win by a trick unfair;
1t is better to fall and to know
you've been.
Whatever the prize was, square.
Than to claim the joy of a far-off
goal
And the cheers of the standers-by,
And to know down deep in your in
most soul
A cheat you must live and die.
Who wins by a trick may take the
prize,
And at first he may think it sweet,
But manv a day in the future lies
When he'll wish he had met defeat,
For the man who lost shall be glad at
heart
And wax with his head up high,
While his conqueror knows he must
pay the part
OF a cheat and a living lie.
The prize seems fair when the fight
is on
But save it is truly won
You will hate the thing when the
crowds are gone,
For it stands for a false deed done,
And it's better you never should
reach the goal
Than ever success to buy
At the price of knowing in your soul
That your glory is all a lie.
