BURIED WITH HAND MIRRORS
Fombs Tell Stories Of Vanity That Was
Marked in Ancient Egyptian
Women.

Bury me with my mirror-so when
L become mummy can see If my hat
is on straight"
So spoke the wives and daughters of
seven thousand years ago, according to
evidence dug up at Dendereh, one of
the oldest cities of Egypt, by the Eek
ley b. Coke, Jr., expedition sent out by
the Philadelphia University museum.
DR.. Clarence S. Fisher. director of the
expedition, has sent report Of the op-
erations.
The vanity of the women of those
early days was revealed by some an
cient graves which the university ex-
plorers opened. In several of these
graves they found highly polished
bronze mirrors, which had been buried
with the women, who were supposed to
need them after death.
Another grave. that of a child, con-
tanned COW, which was supposed to
nour,sh the dead. In another q dog
was buried with a child. and one had
bunch of dates four thousand years
old.
Museum authorities regard as one Of
the most valuable finds necklace
which bears an inscription showing
that 1t belonged to Sesostris. king
who lived about $500 b. c.. and who is
said to have conquered the whole
world
The necklace was found on a woman,
who may have been daughter of the
king or one Of his favorite wives. 1t
consists OF several strands Of car
nelian beads inscribed with the car
touche Of Sesostris. The government
OF Egypt will keep part of this neck
lace, and Doctor Fisher will send the
remainder of ii to Philadelphia.

Mere Appetizers.

DR.. Wiifred Grenfell. the Labrador
physician, tells the following amusing
story about one Of his trips on a koma-
tik. or dog sled. 1t ought to be said
first of all that Doctor Grenfell often
has samples OF compressed eatables
and nonfreezable foods sent to him.
He and his guide were on the way
to distant village where small boy
was reported to have found himself

Continued from Friday.

Mercifully he forestalled their at
tempts by backing up against a tall
mesquit bush so that the loops Of their
lariats could not settle about his neck.
Seeing his intention they voiced their
disapproval in q renewed outburst
Of yells.
Further designs upon him were pre-.
vented by the opportune arrival OF an
ofncer. who dispersed the crowd by
the simple process of beating them
about the heads with a stick
Have you come from the house

Following his guide, Kynaston en-

The officer explained who Kynaston
was. In answer the general rose hast

his mouth, and began such a furious

come nearly epileptic. Kynaston stood
silent
Take him away! Place him in

fate shall be OF any accursed gringo

he tossed paper TO the officer.
Let him see, captain, that even in
his own accursed country, where the

And before he even realized that
he was indeed a prisoner, Kynaston
found himself showed inside the dirty
interior, the door closed and a guard
set outside.
Kynaston, seeing that he might as
well take things coolly, seated himself
on a blanket that a peon threw in the
door, took the paper from his pocket
