FOUNDER OF FIRST ECYPTIAN DYNASTY REALLY EXISTED. ;Iohm mnl Seal Iileulllled—Wonderful Proof! of Aneleilt History Liaillai; lo Hie (ternnut ruction of the TruillUoni I'nlll >'«» Uoulileil, A very interesting discovery ha» been made by Dr. Borchardt of the Gizeh museum, which adds immensely to our knowledge of early Egyptian history, provided it is fully sustained, says the London Chronicle. The schol ars have hitherto told us that the or igins of Egyptian history were wrap ped in absolute obscurity, and in par ticular that the founder of the first Egyptian dynasty, whose name was Menes, was a mythical person, like Cadmus of Thebes, and old Anehises, t^nd many other worthies, who, in sim pler times, were regarded as real men. To Menes was ascribed by the ancient Egyptians the canals of Egypt and the union of upper and lower Egypt into one kingdom. Last year a tomb was discovered near Thebes, and now Dr. Borchardt has identified that tomb with that of Menes. who turns out to have been a real character. The bones and the seal of Menes, whose body was burned, not embalmed, and the inscription in which he calls himself the king of upper and lower Egypt, have been so clearly Identified that it would appear there is little ground for doubt. At least the authority of M. de Morgan and Dr. Borchardt cannot lightly be set aside and they are agreed to this tomb being that of the real founder of the first Egyptian dynasty. In other words, Menes was no myth, but a real human being, the founder of a Kingdom which endured, under the guidance of a great and powerful priesthood, for thousands of years. It is clear that there Is far more in an cient tradition than the skepticism of modern historians, especially of the German school, has been wont to ad mit. Much of the old Roman tradition set aside by Niebuhr has now be^n vin dicated beyond all dispute by the actu al evidence of brick and stone. The biblical records, which some of the cri tics tried to dissolve into thin air, have been justified by tangible evidence. One school of critics resolved Abraham into a sun myth, but the personality of the mighty founder of the most tenacious race in human history stands out again in its imposing outlines. The German, advanced criticism of the new testa ment has been pretty severely handled by the still newer critics with the latest learning. It seems not unlikely that much of ancient history will be recon structed, not as the subjective critics who evolved camels out of their moral consciousness imagined, but by a very substantial incorporation of much that was held to be legendary or mythical into the surer history of the future. The new history calls archeology, cranio logy and inscriptions to its aid, and so earns for itself a position of strength which before our century was un known. The strange paradox is brought about that the further we are removed from ancient times the more we know about them. In a special degree it may be said that a fairly complete recon struction of Egyptian history and reli gion would be a most important contri bution to the knowledge of the history of mankind, and this knowledge seems to be on the point of being obtained. According to M. de Morgan, real Egyp tian history begins with a race of con querors whose origin was probably in Babylonia. They brought with them wheat and barley, the ox, the sheep, the goat, the beginnings of writing, and perhaps the use of tools. They blended with the primi'ive race living in the stone age, and from that union the his torical Egyptians proceeded. It was this mixed race which built the pyra mids and temples. So far, if M. de Mor gan is to be relied on, and there are few more trustworthy investigators, have the researches into the history of old Egypt led us, and it is a long way. lUI)l>lt I.tick for Flithlng. S. P. I^azarus tells of an odd experi ence which fell to his lot some time ago while fishing for bass in one of the northern lakes. “While rowing the boat across the lake,’’ he says, "I saw something swimming in the water some 200 feet away. I overtook it. and discovered a rather tired rabbit swim ming for dear life. I reached out and gathered it in out of the wet, and with a piece of twine tied the rabbit to the seat, w'here it sat in the sun perfectly quiet. It shivered for a time, but soon became warm and animated. I kept it in the boat the remainder of the afternoon while fishing. Talk about the hind foot of a churchyard rabbit! It isn’t in it with a live, four footed rabbit. Bass began to bite, and in short order I took in sixteen. When I reached the shore the rabbit was re leased, when, with a wink of thanks, he made a leap, and in an Instant was out of sight in the brush.

A year or so ago, when she I was nearing fifty years of age. the time | when women most lie most careful of their , strength, Mrs. Houseweart was taken seri ously ill.
