CALLS FOR MANY QUALITIES
ArcheoIoqist Must Be Scholar, Lin9u-
list, Engineer and Artist, and
Expert Handler of Men.

The modern archeologist in Egypt
must be more than a scholar. He
must have studied history, it is true;
he must be familiar with what is
known of the art and life of Old
Egypt and he must have mastered the
ancient language SO that he can read
the hieroglyphs carved on temple and
tomb
But scholarship is only part of his
equipment. He must know something
of engineering and something of draw
ing; he must have a sense of organi-
cation he must himself be ready TO
turn to with pick and shovel, should
occasion arise.
The task of dislnterring ancient
structures and their precious contents
uninjured Is a delicate one, not TO be
done hastily or haphazardly.
In addition to being scholar and
engineer, linguist and artist, the mod
ern archeolOgist must understand how
to handle men. The men employed
IN archaeological excavation in Egypt
are usually boys from 10 to 20 years
of age. Older than that in country
where men and women age tragically
fast, they are likely to be stupid.
Usually they are irresponsible and,
spurred ON by the light-fngered IAN
tika" dealers in neighbOring villages.
The wise archeOlogist puts them on
piece-wOrk-sO much for every cubic
foot of earth removed, with bakshish
carefully calculated on the basis of the
: "antika" dealers current rates, for
every object unearthed.
Since the bakshish varies with the
condition of the object, it is to the
interest Of the worker to get each
find" out entire, if possible, or, if
breakage is inevitable, with no part
missing.
Half of the minor objects discovered
go to the Egyptian government and
half are retained by the institution
conducting the exploration.

GLORY ACCRUES TO LEADER
To Be Remembered, One Has only to
Be First in Some Undertaking
That Succeeds.

Adams glory was in being the first
man, and Ewes in being the first wom-
an. They have been talked Of through
al the centuries for nothing except
that they were the first to live, the
first to be tempted and the first to
fall.
And so. it Is with mang other per-
SONS and events that find their places
in history. Always it is the begin
nings of things that shed glory on the
participants. Christopher Columbus
has Just been honored again because
he was the first to discover America,
and the landing of the Pilgrims is
celebrated because they were the first
to colOnize Massachusetts. Harvard
rsjoices in being the first institution
of learning in what is now the United
States and having set up the first
printing press, The first settlers OF
any community are always persons OF
prime interest and the first man to
wear pantalOons or carry an umbrella,
If living today, could coin money by
putting himself on exhibition.
If one wants to be remembered, one
has only to pick out the spot where
great city is to be built, or connect
himself with an industry that Is bound
to grow, or do something that is bound
to become the fashion. He is at once
immortalized. Generation after gen
GRAFTON will speak his name, and on
anniversary occasions orators will
sound his praise. He may be indlvid-
ually no greater than thousands who
have come after, but the glory of hav-
ing been the first will be upon him
forever and a day.-COlumbus Dis

PorrIdoe. a TaHsman.

Porridge is what the Scots are
brought up on; that and theology, and
the curious thing is that only those
who come from north of the Tweed
know the secret of how to make it.
The English have a breakfast dish
made with oats, while the people Of
the United States are perfectly frank
about it and call it oatmeal" The
Scots have been accused of being clan
nish. but it may be that they age only
fond of their national dish. A traT-
eler in Canada one morning alighted
from the train at Scotia Junction,
Did the name Of the station and the
pictures Of Edinburgh castle and the
Forth bridge in the little hotel bring
back any happy memories? Perhaps
yes. Perhaps, no. Anyhow it was no

Oldest of cathedrals.

The cathedral of Echmiadzin, Ar
menia, begun in 301 A. D., the year
the Armenian nation officially en-
braced Christianity and became the
first Christian nation in pagan world,
is the oldest church in Christendom.
1t is rich in the memories of II CEN
turtles of Armenians who have wor-
SHIPPED there, and has many rare mo-
sales and quaint chapels. 1t differs
much from cathedrals in the occident-
al world. 1t is in this church that
each Catholics, or head of the Georgi-
an religion, is consecrated after cleo
ton. When a CATHOLICS dies, a world
wide vote among Armenians is taken,
and 1t is sometimes a year before the
ballots arrive from the seven seas
