MSTllltDAV'S hi let referenco
o the recently discovered
X tm
jmbs ot ancient Kgyptlan
kings brlnpii up for notice
not only Mr. Potrle's report of the
tlndlng of Jewelry that had ben the
possesion of an Kgyplliin queen who
lived 1,700 year befoiv the Christian
ei a, but the leeent discoveries of far
mote precious thing of pHpyti that
have added so much to the tteasuri
of lilbllcal and classical llt"ratuie.
We tefer to these, especially to call
attention to the latest appeal of Dr.
William C Wlnilow. of Hoston, the
vice piesldcnt and honorary secretary
of the Atnerlcnn Kgyptlan Kxploratlon
l'und. for the means lo carry on nt
once the researches for other papyri
documents of New Testament nnd clas
sical times befoie It becomes too late
to lesctie them.
Of the one bundled and eighteen
valuable papyil compiled In last
year's finds, and distributed to various
universities and museums In number
pto rata of the total subscriptions
teceived from these and their respec
tive localities, the University of Penn
sylvania and Ilaivard have received
the greatest number and the most
valuable. The very oldest extant text
of Si. Matthew has gone to the tJnl
veislty of Pennsylvania: that of St.
Paul to Harvard.
It Is cmlte possible that even mole
ancient texts may come to light, both
of the Xew Testament w titers and of
famous (Steele authors. Many of the
lluds are older texts ot not a few ot
the gicatest Oreclan writers than any
bedii known.
What I now to be coiisiduied Is the
fact that the Immense dam at Phllae,
lr. cruise of cjonstiuetlon In order to
make the 'He once moie the frult-
lul smuce and nourishment of Kgypt,
will be completed within the space of
arirthei two year'. Through the last
twenty cenlutles the tliy sands of
Kgypt. blown acinss the land's ancient
palaces, tempi" anil tombs, have pre
served the papyil which they burled.
As llr. Wlnslow points out, the ar
chaeological exploters In Egypt have
now but two yeais more lu which to
tuny on thelt ies".nches befoie the lr
ilgnllng watw of the Nile shall per
meate thoroughly the (insert soil which
has pre?iied so great tveasuies for

cient liultfnlness, as when In Joseph's
dus It was "tho gi.uiaiy of Ihe
woild.' wilt link'' shou work of the
inpyii not exhiiui'-d lufore the Phlloe

Ol. Wluslon's present appeal is to
New- Vol I; to give $r.,000 Tor this special
,oik of search foe nut-tent document.
If thai city, which so far has allowed
Philadelphia and Hoston subset Ibeis
lo suipass ii. shull respond as It

ctles the mosi perfunctory treatment

these subjects. Wheth'r the special

Itself.
Thero are Home other things that, It
they are to be attempted at all lu pri

system ot having- tho one teacher of

for instance, whether or not tho teacher

The ndvantages of the inch contract are
numt-rnui and obtlous. When an adtertlser ha
such a contrail, he can uc hi space whin lie
need It. If he has anything lo say to the read
ing public, be can say it. If lie has nothing to
say, he docs not hate lo pay for any spite to
sat It In, nor does he either hate to write new
ropy or leaic the old chestnut In Ills spite, that
will picbabl.t do him mote halm than good,
How often has the business man, who i making
an effort lo Ir.t the efficacy of adtertlslng, been
discouraged and disheartened at the obligation
he fell under to write an adtertisement when he
bid nothing to say! He knew he had to pay for
his space, tilietlnT he used II or lint, ami the
