ANCIENT EGYPTIAN NECKLACE. More Like a Ribbon of Delicate Tissue Than Like Metal. It is a chain of exquisite gold, a rich orange yellow in color, with links dexterously twined one upon another, says an article in St. Nicholas. It is about 13 inches long, | of an inch wide, and as nearly 1-10 of an inch thick as I can measure it with a rule. The ends of it were at first fitted only with small solid rings set into clamps beautifully ornamented with leaf work. Perhaps It was fastened to the wearer’s neck by a filament or cord of silk tied through. The present owner has arranged a modern clasp in the shape of the lotus flower. It can still be used, and indeed as well as ever, as an ornament for one in full dress. It is so flexible, falling down into picturesque folds the moment it is let go, that it seems more like a ribbon of delicate tissue than like metal. An expert goldsmith told me, after he had examined it with a glass, that it undoubtedly had a perfectness of uniformity in the links which could be found only in a chain manufactured by machinery. This was to me a matter of wonder, for I was not prepared to learn that the ancient Egyptians had the knowledge of machines which could produce woven fabrics from pure gold. It was at once a discovery and a delight. It must be confessed that when I have spoken of this necklace as belonging to a princess I have no actual authority. It dates from the age of Moses, if Herr Brugsch is correct—a learned period, it is a fact, but how much acquaintance the nation had then with delicate machinery it is not easy to say. This ornament was found, in one of that range of tombs opened along the Nile, whe-'e royal and priestly tombs were frequent. It may have been worn by a daughter of a king, not yet is anyone able to give her *mme, her lineage. or her history.

How Yong to Sleep. Up to the 16th year most young people require ten hours, and till the 20th year nine hours. After that age everyone finds out how much he or she requires, though, as a general rule, at .east six or eight hours are necessary. Eight hours’ sleep will prevent more aervous derangements in women than any medicine will ever cure. During growth there must be ample sleep if the brain is to develop to its full extent, and the more nervous, excitable, or precocious a child is, the longer sleep should it get if its intellectual progress is not to come to a premature »+<‘ndstill or its life cut short at an
