At a Sunday School picnic supper

their automobiles on forbidden ground

citizens, tried to explain, but were
told to tell their troubles to the mag

SHOWED LIFE IN OLD EGYPT
Remarkable Picture OF Daily Routine
Of Thousands Of Years Ago Re-
veaIed in Tomb.

1t Is difficult to believe that anything
happening today is as significant or as
interesting as things that happened in
Egypt few thousand years back. Be
sides, the history of present-day Egypt
might as well be that of India or Syria
or any number of other countries. The
effort to attain self-relaxation, natural
self~expression, is now matter of
stenciled pattern. 1t involves trite
slogans. 1t makes use of the familiar
weapons of boycott and strike. 1t Is
recklessly extravaganza with ink.
do not mean to belittle national as
piratioRs-but the exploring mind finds
greater novelty in the marvellous de
lineation of Egyptian life on the walls
of IT'S tomb at Sakkara, Gertrude EN-
erson writes in Asia. The sacrificial
bulls are hobbled and thrown. I'll and
his wife inspect the forced fattening
of geese, the feeding of cranes in the
poultry-yard. She kneels by his side,
and together they watch the harvest
operations, the reaping of corn, the
loading of sacks upon the backs of
asses, the treading out of grain by
the oxen. Three village elders are
brought to the estate office by over
seers to give evidence concerning
taxes. Ships are being built, with
animated conversation going on among
the workmen. Carpenters are saving;
men are blowing furnace. The life
of the Delta is depicted with thou
sand intimate details. ii is sailing
through the papyrus marshes in boat,
experimenting fishing and bird-snar-
ing. Some of the men harpoon hip
popotamuses while others draw in the
fishnets and empty the narrow-necked
baskets. A hippopotamus bites croco-
ollie. The thickets are filled with
birds, futtering about or sitting on
their nests. Cattle returning from
pasturage are led through the shallow
water; one man carries sheep on his
back. Two dwarfs are seen leading
pet ape and leash Of greyhounds.
And came up out of the crowded
tomb with it's marvellous lore of life
and retraced my steps across the sand
of the empty desert, where shards are
strewn and bits Of broken blue porce-
lain continually catch the eye, past
the colossal statue of Rameses II,
lying, prone in indignity, near the dirty
little village Of Nit Rahineh, which
once was Memphis, and SO back to
Cairo, with its cosmopolitan uproar,
it's sophistication, its fiaring hatred of
Europe and its newborn interest in
politics. The tomb seemed far closer
to realities,

She vas sun-loving Smith college
freshman from the South, and al
though greatly interested in studying
the stars, she found as the weather
grew colder that she could hardly en-

the advice of her friends and tried
hats, fur coats, wooden stockings and
warm gloves galore, but her hands and
feet still froze and she was miserable.
One night she appeared at the observ-

that were to stay warm. She had
solved her perplexing problem. In

EyesIaht and Workmanship.

Some curious researches have been
made by army surgeons to determine
the relationship between good eyesight
and good target practice. It would
appear, at first glance, that the two
things must invariably depend the one
upon the other. But the facts lead
to different conclusion. At least,
they show that one may have very de-
fective eyesight and yet be avery ac-
curate marksman. Astigmatism my
opia and other defects of vision may
exist In a marked degree without de-
stroying the ability to aim and shoot
straight. In various armies soldiers
are permitted to shoot from the right
or the left shoulder, according to their
own preference, which Is often guided
by the superiority of one eye over the
other. Accuracy of judgment counts
for as much as acuteness of vision
with the good MISUNDERSTANDING

HoLD SKEEsICKS' ALL RIGHT
May Be Somewhat Odd In Character,
but Not lnfrequently Has Heart

"Old Skeesicks" is what the boys
call him, perhaps because he wears
clothes that are not Of the best and
talks sometimes about the duty Of be-
ing careful about spending money I'M

whisper when they see him coming,
and sometimes think he hears what
the thoughtless boys and more
thoughtless men say about him. But
he just smiles and goes on about his

know more about "Old Skeesicks'

found them all CHEEKY, no clouds In

farmer man had left bushel, more
or less, of good things to eat and he
had told them If they needed 1t he
would let them have money to tide
over the hard spell.
Since then I have thought Of some
other things "Old Skeesicks'' has

Soldier Ants.

Before the biological society In Lon
don a naturalist described his studies
Of the African termites, or white ants.
Certain individuals in every nest have
no other apparent function except
that Of fighters or soldiers. Some have
q long beak from which they eject an
acrld, corrosive fluidi others inspire
terreg by making a loud clicking
noise with their mandlbles; but they
neither shoot nor bite. One singular
observation of the naturalist was that
the soldier ants, which rush out to de-
fend an attacked nest, do not return
to the nest, but wander about and soon
perish from exposure to the outside
air.

FOUND HAPPINESS IN WORK
Great Writers and Inventors Acted
With Much Wisdom In Refusing
to "Rust Out"

Examples Of long life accompanied
by happiness In productive labor are
numerous, both in biography and In
contemporary life, observes the York

after Joyously producing his type Of
beauty in landscape art almost to the
last Edison, our greatest contempt
rary inventor, passed recently his sew
enty-sixth birthday. He was too busy
to pause for congratulations, entirely
happy in his research and experiment,
finding the days too short for his ex.
acting mind. The old classical apo.
thegm which tells US that they die
young whom the gods love. must be
taken with the proverbial grain of salt.
Wordsworth In all his verses breathed
the atmosphere Of contentment and
Joy, and survived until he was a haps
py octogenarian, glad In himself and
gladdened by his countless admirers.
Tennyson reached eighty-three, borne
along as on the crest Of a flowing wave
of Joy, the beating Of which can be
felt in all his work, even to his rhyth-
mic swans song OF "9he Pilot" Carr
lyle died at eighty-six. and, although
lone and sad In his closing years he
owed his longevity very largely to the

that Carlyle's misery was an Illusion

nursed his inherited vitality into conss

OCCUPATION TAX
LAW HELD VALID.
SUPREME COURT RENDERS DE.
CISION ON MUCH Dis.
CUSSED MEASURE.

Minnesota's tax of 6 per cent Of
the value of iron ore mined each
year is an occupation tax, the sup
RENE court held Monday, and there
fore valid.
Thirty-seven companies, control
ling substantially the entire output,
which constitute two-thirds of all
the iron ore mined in the United
States, insisted that the tax was I'M
posed upon property, and therefore
unlawful They also attacked the
tax as a burden upon interstate
commerce, as lacking in uniformity,
and as depriving those. engaged in
the industry of the equal protection
of the law.
Discussing the objections raised,
Justice Van Devanter, in delivering
the opinion of the court, to which
no dissent was announced, said:
eve think the tax in its essence,
is what the act calls tan occupa-
ton tax. 1t is not laid on the land
containing the ore, nor on the ore
after removal, but on the business
of mining the ore, which consists
in severing it from its natural
bed and bringing it to the surface,
where it can become an article OF
commerce and be utilized in the in
dustrial arts Obviously, tax
laid on those who are engaged IN
