T the conclusion of jga three tlons, we are ' now Jr able to trace the JL_J»\\ growth and realize.the J$ [ general appearance of Mf* Allv/ Meroe, once the capvX/V ’J ital of ancient Ethi'yzi' L'i/i opia, in the Sudan, between Atbara and Khartoum. The whole site included several distinct portions. Near the river was the Royal City with its palaces; beyond that a large area forming the township, in which were the dwellings of artisans, and doubtless of the soldiery; while, interspersed, there rose here and there great temples and public buildings. Further still towards the east (about three-quarters of a mile from the river bank, and

just on the further side Os the modern railway) on the outskirts of the desert, is a vast Necropolis, extending two or three miles to the north and south, containing thousands of ancient tombs and burying - places. Still further in the desert, the Sun Temple sfands alone; and beyond that again, some distance to the northe a s t. are the well known pyramids. North and south of the central area there are now extensive woods of stunted mimosa, so that the limits of the township are not yet determined; but in the former considerable buildings containing baths and yielding Meroitic inscriptions have been found in a clearing more than a mile from the city. >

That which we call the Royal City is a four-sided enclosure, 1,000 feet by 500, surrounded by /a stone wall, about fifteen feet in thickness, built of splendid ashlar. The height of this wall must have been originally, we may suppose, thirty or forty feet: at one point it is still preserved to half that height. There are two main entrances in the middle of the eastern walls, which are its longest sides; and two t posterns, one to the, north and one to the south. In the southern part of the enclosure are the reyal palaces, built, like the walls of this citadel, in the age of the Ethiopian King Aspdlut, or just before in the seventh or eight century B. C. j Naturally, we have not yet been able to penetrate to the bottom all° over this area, for many later buildings nearer the surface must be examined first. The original plan of the whole city is thus not yet clear; but several of the earliest buildings have already been examined in the northern portion: amongst these are several columned halls. It was under the threshold of one of these that, last year, we found the Bronze Head of Augustus, which had seemingly been carefully buried out of sight. In one of the Royal Palaces we also had the good fortune last >year to be able to locate the ancient treasury-, and though this had been completely ransacked and its walls destroyed, two pots, full of gold, and containing what was more important for us, Inscribed jewels were found hidden under the foundation of neighboring walls. By. the side of this palace, the past season’s excavations have' brought to light the Royal Baths, decorated with colonnades, frescoes, glazed tiles, and remarkable statues based on classical models, as will be seen fronj the accompanying photographs. Outside the city wall, to ,the east, Is the great Temple of Ammon, the axis of which, from door to altar, Is about 430 feet in length. The central avenue, with its columned halls and sanctuaries, has now been excavated, so that you may walk along its original pavements, see where animals were sacrificed, w&re the great swinging door closed off the sanctuaries from the public hall, and finally, reach the high altar, which remains in its original position. It is of black stone, decorated with carvings in relief; and at the foot of it, during our excavations, we found actually the last votive offering which had been placed upon it. Passing then, still eastward,

through the Temple of Ammon, there is found a decorative kiosque, outside its main entrance; and to the south is a great building, recently found, which we have not yet completely excavated, though we have determined that it contains more than forty chambers.. It was probably the official palace in the early centuries A. D. To the north of greater buildings is the great area to which we have alluded, wherein were the dwellings and workshops of workers in metal; and, beyond these, extensive

Love Not Severed By Death

Instances, Not Too Well Where Affection Has Existed Beyond the Tomb. Each year during the month of May, a number of romantic persons, usually lovers, visit the grave of Abelard and Heloise, in the cemetery of Pere la Chaise, Paris and place on it a tribute of flowers. The bodies of these noted unhappy lovers were originally buried at Tours, and were removed to Pere la Chaise in 1800. Heloise survived Abelard 21 years, and the Chronicle of Tours reports that when the tomb of Abelard was opened for the body of Heloise, Abelard held out his hand to welcpme her. This legend has been approved by a French author, who gives other like instances, one of a senator at Dijon, who, having been buried 28 years,, opened his arms to embrace his wife when she was lowered into the same tomb. The politeness of French husbands, their tender conjugal civilities,

Firing an Aero Bomb

Highly satisfactory results have just been obtained in the series of experiments carried out to test several methods of dropping bombs from aeroplanes on a given spot. Though they are far from having reached perfection, two "hppliahees invented by the Farman brothers, have already given great satisfaction to army experts. Details of their mechanism are, of course, kept secret, but as regards one of them. It is known that the method employed is a that of, first of all, locating the target by dropping a dummy bomb, which on exploding spreads out

pottery kilns, in which the last embers of the fires remain, with innumerable vases and fragments thrown around. Passing still eastward, we see the tombs, marked on the surface of the desert either by a low mound or a ring of stones. Their chambers are gained generally by a short slope from the east. Inside, the dead lay upon their beds or upon mats; great storage vessels for water and other drinks occupied the northern end of the chamber; while smaller objects, baskets, vessels, and dishes of better quality were commonly arranged around the head at the southern end. In obedience to primitive instincts, a warrior was buried with his weapons, which were of iron (namely, sword, dagger, spear, and knives); and the huntsman with his bow. In one case even the hounds of the huntsman had been immolated and buried with him. In the broadest of the green valleys that lead ddwn from the deserts, the Sun Temple is found rising up in i a series of terraces, surrounded by a beautifully designed cloister, its sanci tuary gained by a flight of steps leading upwards from the east. This ‘ chamber was paved and wajled with glazed tiles, many of which remain in their original position. It contained an obelisk or altar dedicated to the sun, and other emblems of the cult, including a large solar disc. The outer walls of this building are decorated with scenes representing the royal progress after victory. Amongst these scenes are those which Indicate the torture and sacrifice of captives; and in a small chamber attached to the southern wall of the temple there was found, buried, a quantity of jars filled with charcoal and what seemed like cremated human remains. Such, in brief, is the general outline of the city, but there are a hundred features of detail which could not be visited in a day, nor described w’ithin the scope of this short article.

have been conceived by everyone, but they-must not be permitted to carry off these posthumous honors as a monopoly, nor must the sex feminine for an affection that extends beyond death. It is related that Queen Margaret of Scotland, many years after death, when it was found necessary to remove her body from Dunfermline abbey, where it lay beside her husband, King Malcolm, refused to budge. The body was so heavy there was no moving it. The monks were at a loss what to do; when one of them suggested that the queen refused to be moved without her hus- ( band. Malcolm was then raised and immediately the body of the queen resumed its ordinary levity and the removal was made.

This bomb once dropped, the machine is turned back, and the pilot, knowing his height by his barograph and the speed at which he is flying, can by means of an aiming apparatus and the ordinary principles of gunnery locate his next shot to a nicety. The other apparatus, much more complicated, requires to be handled by an experienced officer, and therefore, can only be employed in two-seated aeroplanes, carrying besides a pilot, a bomb-dropping specialist.—Leslie’s.

SIMPLE SUMMER DRESS ’HETTY DESIGN FOR AFTERNOON OR MOTORING FROCK. details as Outlined Admit of Many Changes to Suit Individual Tastes—“ Sprigged Percale” Is the Best Material. An effect for a simple afternoon iress, or morning frock for country visiting, is given in the illustration, this displaying the peplum tail that has taken such a hold upon the popular fancy, and showing the two deep tucks that so often adorn the skirt jf the girl w’ho looks best with a little trimming at this point. The bodice, or coatee as the model is most often cabled, fastens in front Jacket fashion, the tail of the peplum rounded and lapping in front. A little flat collar and elbow sleeves finished with turn-back cuffs are displayed in the figure version of the style, but as with the trimmings of the other models these details allow changes. Long sleeves and a high neck finish are quite possible. What la called a “sprigged percale,” a white ground with a little leaf pattern, is the material of this pretty dress< but every . wash material is possible for it, as well as taffeta, which fabric would create a very dressy gown for Sunday use. To go back to mere dressmaking itself, the skill required to cut, fit and .flUsh, some of best sewers ignore the importance of little things. Buttons ftAd hooks and eyes are sewed on in so slovenly a fashion that they soon come off, and nine times out of ten the garment is worn in this crippled condition, the wearer apparently quite indifferent to the untidy appearance she presents. Then a weakness with fast sewers is shown in the way they slight seams, leaving these raw so that those of the bodice rasp the flesh, and none anywhere are sure of holding. Where a gow n is unlined the bodice will be kept neat a much longer time if a guimpe-shield or separate muslin W 6l ■ Wal// » \ hit* / \ A/ / \ I i rXZ3 /'il IV4 Rfl Afternoon Dress of Sprigged Percale Displaying the Popular Peplum Tail. yoke is worn underneath, or the waist is doubled with a thin lawn at this point. The separate guimpes are made exactly like the outside ones except that no trimming is ever used, and sometimes, even with a high stock outside, there is no collar band. Where one feels the heat very much the under protection could be made of the thinnest net, for even a net lining or under guimpe will catch perspiration and hold much of the oily stain that would otherwise fall entirely upon the dress material. The bodice alno fits better if an inaide belt is put on it, this likewise keeping it dowb more nearly; while for nine skirts out of ten machine belt-

BEST METHOD OF FURNISHING Judicious Laying Out, After Careful Consideration, Will Make a Little Money Do Much. There are two alternatives in setting up a home at a moderate expenditure of money. By one plan a little money is spread out thin over the whole house, and by the other it is put on thick in the most necessary places. Quite needless to say, the second one commends itself to the wise and thoughtful, though the first is full of the most alluring temptations. It U a strong-minded little bride who is able to resist the desire to start out with her whole nest completely furnished, and to adhere resolutely to the policy of having a few things at Rrst, and those of the best quality. When there is a little new home to be itartfed and not much “siller in the jurse,” the home-makers will be very ivfse if they consider first the bedoom and the kitchen.

TO HOLD VALUED PORTRAITS Decorative Articles Eminently Suit able for the Boudoir—Can Be Made as Elaborate as Desired. The decorative little article showt in the accompanying sketch is quit< simple to make and can be carried ou’ in the size for containing just three portraits, or it can be made on the same lines in a larger size for hold ing perhaps half a dozen photographs StouT cardboard or thin wood should be used for the foundation, and smoothly covered with some pretty piece of silk chosen of a color te harmonize with the wall paper upoi which the holder is to hang. Thej a band of silk, lined with soft silk an 3 upon which some pretty floral desigij has been worked, is sewn across tht lower part so that it forms a shallow pocket into which the photograph* may be slipped in the manner illus trated. The holder is trimmed at the edge with a silk cord and further orna mented at each corner with three little loops of ribbon. Attached to the top is a long loop of ribbon by whlcll the article may be suspended from 1 nail in the wall. For the holder from which out sketch was made, pale yellow silk was used, and the flowers on the pockel consisted of white blossoms and greee leaves. The silk cord round the edge was pale green and white and the ribbons apple green, a combination ol colors which was at once pleasing and effective. SCREEN HAS DISTINCT VALUE Really Important Part of the Furnish Ings of a House, Though Ordinarily Neglected. The woman ,who is having a readjustment of het furniture will do well to consider the value of a screen as a decorative adjunct. American architects are making the screen do duty for the door to a considerable extent. The effect is one oi spaciousness in quite a small house for length of vista is the result. Long rooms leading into one another ar« decorated in schemes which blend harmoniously, and the result Is al airy and delightful whole. In a certain house recently lined prettily for a bride, a lovely screen was the feature of a mauve-toned sit* ting room. It was in dull black cloth, which formed a perfect background for the scene depicted, tall purple and white iris growing in a pool, the tall spiky* leaves being so wonderfully per feet, and the flowers so wonderfully worked as to make one doubt whethet ■it could be embroidery. Over the pool hovered a solitn -y bird with a red and blue head and a long red bill, which gave the little touch of color which the picture needed.

the basis of all life, these two roomi can not be too carefully considered in any scheme of furnishing. The mod era kitchen is nowadays so well fun nished by the builders that there 11 little large furniture needed. If, how* ever, there is no built-in cupboard< with drawers beneath, a kitchen cabl< net is a wise investment, as it is e great labor saver. One or two kitchen tables, covered with white oilcloth, a stool, the right height to suit the table or sink, and a stepladder chair are all greatly de< sirable, unless the kitchen is a tiny one. The stool is indispensable tq any kitchen. When the question o1 the furniture is disposed of, the bride may consider her utensils, and the best that her money will buy are the cheapest in the end.

NmWIONAL SIWSOIOOL .Lesson (By E. O. SEI.I.ERS, Director of Eve- | ning Department, The Moody Bible | Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 18. THE RULER’S DAUGHTER. LESSON TEXT—Mark 5:21-43. GOLDEN TEXT “And taking the child by the hand he sal th unto her, Talitha cumi; which is. being interpreted. Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.” Mark 6:41. This is one of the most beautiful stories of the Bible. It Appeals to the) loving parents’ heart, and charms the attention of every child in the home. The introduction of the woman who touched his garment is referred to by three of the gospel writers and show us an intensely interesting side light as to the reception accorded Jesus dusing his Galilean ministry. The .ran.atis personae is as follows: First, the father. From his life he is about to lose all the poetry and music of his home. Second, the child. She was only twelve years old. just on the threshold of Jewish womanhood. It takes no imagination to picture her life up to this time, how it had entw’ined itself into the heart of the father as well as the other loved ones. The stricken diseased child is yet to be found in the land, that is what makes the picture so vivid. Why this suffering? Why these separations? We cannot reply but our Heavenly Father knows it all, and some day we will read his artswer in the glory of his presence. Third, the woman. Who, where from, nor ’whither to, w’e are not told. Only one of that vast throng who had just faith to touch the hem of his garment, and she was made whole. As Jesus and Jairus are walking towards the child's chamber they are thus interrupted. We can feel certain that Jarius in his anxiety must have been rebellious at this interruption, at this enforced delay. But he hears the story of one who had suffered for as many years as his child had furnished joy to his home, and it must have encouraged his heart to listen to the Master’s gracious words. However, his hopes are dashed for as they proceed word comes that the child is dead, and, the messengers add, “why trouble the master, the teacher, any longer.” Jesus makes reply in words that have been a comfort to believers for over 1900 years; “Fear not, only believe.” Calm Dignity of Jesus. And lastly, the Galilean prophet. One whose response to the cry of need was so instantaneous albeit without haste or fret or unrest. We can, in imagination, see them as they walk along the roadway. Jesus certainly had a meaning in pausing as they are interrupted for we must remember that the woman was healed the moment she touched his garment and before thf>y paused. Having taught the multitude and encouraged the heart of Jairus they reach the home and allowing none but his elect three, Peter, James and John, he enters the house, which is now in a tumult due to the weeping and wailing of the mourners, both the professional and the bereaved. Again we are impressed with the calm dignity of Jesus as he asked them “Why this tumult? The child only sleeps.” Their laughing scorn IS due to their ignorance of the power of this man, though the record is a strong emphasis upon the fact that the child was really dead. When he had turned the unbelievers out, Jesus takes the father and mother and the disciples into the death chamber, the occasion was too sacred for the mere manifestation of power before a crowd. Taking the child by I the hand, a personal touch, not by ■ proxy, Jesus speaks those wonderful | words which form the golden text. | Mark records the Aramaic or vernacu- i lar giving us the words just as they were spoken. We are told that the woFd “Talitha” means freshness, and that it is closely related to the word lamb, literally “Little Lamb, I say unto thee, arise.” His touch was that of power, his word that of life. His voice entered those dead ears and penetrated a responsive spirit and soul and “straightway” (Mark’s key word) she was alive. Beautiful Love Picture. Having restored the child to its parents Jesus admonishes them not to publish the news broadcast, evidently as he was not ready to precipitate matters in the minds of the multitude for of a surety he knew that in certain quarters the fact of the care would be known. This is a beautiful lore picture: 1. The father’s love—». 22-24. (a) His need. (b) His position, “at Jesus’ feet” (c) His plea. “1 pray thee.* (d) His insistence, "besought greatly.* 2. The stranger's plea—*. 2S2K (a) An interruption. (b) Os long standing. (c) Jesus* knowledge. (d) Jesus’ response. (e) Her confession. (f) Her blessing. 4. The Master’s love—v. 3543. \ (a') Jesus’ knowledge (child dead in his sight). (b) Delay not mean refusal (c) The tender recurrection, an answer to faith. (d) The provision for all her needs. Sorrow brought Jairus to Jesus and sorrow today brings more men to Jesus than perhaps any other one means. Jairus was a ruler of the synagogue and as such had to lay aside his pride and his hostility to make his plea or to accept service of Jesus, and so must we lay aside our pride when wecome to the Naxarene, casting ourselves as did Jairus in the dust at his feet, but notice Jesus did not suffer him long to remain in that place. Jesus responded to Jairus* faith* even though It was not as great a» that of the Centurion. Matt 3:3
