cured, necessary buildings erected for the helth
of workmen and the preservation of antiquities.
Not only are actual remains to be sought, but
also important historical or artistic questions are
to be solved. Indeed, the Egyptian Exploration
Fund was the first to employ this method of
clearing old monuments and of showing the world
what they were.
Such stupendous undertakings call for equip
ment on a considerable scale. By the courtesy
of Sir Gaston Maspero, the government has
loaned to the Fund a light railway with equip
ment. Work must be rapid. December 1 to
April 1 marks the working year. Every moment
is precious. Evory car load must count. Every
shovelful of earth must be carefully sifted wher
ever there is 'a possibility of a find. Even a bas
ket brigade is sometimes pressed into use. As
soon as some .apparently valuablo piece of lo
cated, workmen are called off, experts are sent
in, every man is on guard; carefully every inch
of soil is watched as the last few baskets of
earth are removed. Every fragment must be
saved and laid away until everything has been
recovered. Think of the disappointment when
a magnificent statue comes out headless, for ex
ample. Think of the conjectures as to the where
abouts of the missing piece and the furore when,
perhaps weeks afterward, the lost is found.
There is an air of hus~hed expectancy, a suppress
ed excitement hovering over, that keeps men up
under the most tense strain under which the
wtork is of necessity conducted.
America has joined hands with the old world
in prosecuting the work. An American profes
sor, Dr. Whittenmore, is now with the staff in the
field. An American secretary, Mrs. Marie N.
Bluckman, has been assigned to the direction of
the American office, located in Tremont temple,
Boston. Wonderful are the results attained.
Every student of history and literature, every
student of the Bible is vitally concerned in the
confirmations yearly coming to light from the
sands of Egypt.
There is need of haste. To extend the arable
district of Egypt is an economic necessity. Ac
cord ingly, the flritish government has erected at
Assuan a great dam, whose 95-foot head has sent
the waters of the Nile back over great areas of
hitherto dry ground. Already a dozen great tem
ples have been flooded, and ere long will be for
ever lost to sight. Already beautiful Piilac, at
the head of the first cataract, is gone. The soil
is becoming infiltrated, and the stores of treas
ures, especially the papyrus manuscript., are be
ing ruined even before the waters cover the
ground above.

recognition of man's desire to kill and his right
to have that desire and that climax of all satis
factions which comes to him who under great
provocation slays another. It is not at all strange
that in his branch there should be an extended
code of unwritten as written law, unwritten now
and always to be unwritten for the reason that the
recognition given by its embodiment in the
statutes would be taken as a license by dishonest
men and would result in harm rather than good.
It is an unwritten law among the officers of the
army that if1 a subordinate officer kills a superior
officer because that officer has publicly degrjaded
hin by striking him or by other action equally
humiliating then ghe court-martial will not con
vict. During the Civil wsr at Louisville, Ky,
Gdnerai Nelson said to General Davis:
"Hoew many mgn. gave you?''
General Davis lid "About-" giving an ap
proximate nutnber,
Nelson said, "You~ an army,. officer and say
'abouti' Why don't you 'know' -how many men
you havo?" Anid i'ith that he struck Davis in the
face with his glove. Davis shot and killed him,
and the court-martial acquitted Davis,
IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS
French Boy Caused Merriment by Tak
ing the Order of the Court Too
Literally.
A droll incident Is reported as hav
ing taken place in one of. the pro
vincial appeal courts in France. A
boy, about 14, was sumnoned to give
evidence, and his appearance was such
as to move the whole court to laughter.
He wore a long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers, collar and hat
were unquestionably those of a man.
The court was convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such a manner.
The boy seemed as surprised as the
,president, and taking out the'citation
frorp his pocket, read the formula in
viting him, "Comparaltre dans les af
faires de son pore." (To appear in
his father's suit.)
THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.
Of all the diseases of the skin and
scalp which torture and disfigure man
kind, three-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and It
Is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af
fecting the skin, ignorance of its real
nature, improper relnedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. It is not re
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed 'among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and Is
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with Are the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until disfigurement is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the oldest per
son, Is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura oint
ment. For more than a generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli
ents have' proved the most efficient
agents in the'speedy and permanent
relief of all forms of, eczemas, rashes,
Itchings and irritations of the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointmdnt are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith in
everything may make trial of them
without charge, a liberal sample of
each will be mailed free to any ad
dress, together with a 32-page pamph
let, giving a description and treatmnent
of the various forms of cczema, dX
