 Egypt Is termed "a perennial Rip Van Wrinkle Of history" in bulletin from the National Geographic Society, which makes the present Egyptian home rule agitation the occasion of a review of that country's glorious past.
 Quoting from a communication to The Society by James Bailsie, tho bulletin says:

 'MaRetho's assertion that one of the early kings was slain by a hippopota mus. and that in the reign of anothe, the Nile flowed with honev, may be mere fables; but the men were there and their royalty was a very real and tangible thing. Since the early nine ties investigations have been carriel out which have resulted in the dis eoyerg Of the 4oinhs of many of these ancient royalties and the accumulation Of most interesting mass of inform. alton with regard to the civilization of their time, the organization Of theiI { courts, and the attainments of tht race over which they ruled.

By this time I feared the worst and WAS right. It seemed that the Tal- fnadges were in the sewing room.

I have entirely changed my ideas about women. now think the perfect woman should have heart of stone. no emotions whatever or human sympathy, and I preferably should be deaf.
