The Girls of Yore. Backward, turn backward, O, Time in your flight and give us a maiden dressed proper and right. We are so weary of switches and rats of Billy Burke clusters and nearh basket hats; wads of excelsior heaped in a pile, and stacked on their heads to the height of a mile. Something is wrong with the maidens we fear. Give us the girls as they used to appear. Give us the girls we once knew of yore, whose curls didn't come from a hair-dressing store, maidens who dressed with a sensible view, and just as Dame Nature intended them to. Give us a girl with a figure her own and fashioned divinely by Nature alone. Feminine styles getting fiercer each year?oh give us the girls as they used to appear.?Ex.

Another sphinx, weighing ninety tons and carved from a single rock of alabaster, has been unearthed at a point between the world famed colossi on the waterlogged plains of Memphis, in Egypt. For hundreds of years it has laid in a recumbent position, buried beneath the sands on the road to Sakkareh. Today it is half exposed to view, and next year it is to be raised to a vertical position above the water line. This newly found sphinx was betrayed in its hiding place by its tall, which Mr. Mackay, one of the students of the British school in Egypt, discovered about a year ago. This year when the water on the plain subsided the complete tlgure was excavated and was found to measure some fourteen feet high and twenty-six feet in length. Alabaster being a rock foreign to the neighborhood, says the London Standard, the new sphinx ranks 11s the largest that lias ever been transported. The tlgure bears 110 inscription, but is considered by Professor Flinders Peri e. the director of tn? n..i?mi? ??? n Egypt, to have been carved about 1300 B. C. Many other remarkable discoveries, a king the mind back as far as n.'OO i, C. and lifting the veil of centuries 'roni Egypt's romantic story, have also >een made by the same school and with he exception of a red granite group of tameses II. and the god I'tah, which vill be sent directly to the Carlsherg nuseum at Copenhagen, and a few ither details are now on exhibition at Jniverslty college, Oower street. They nclude many objects quite new to . Egyptologists. < Among these are coffins made of hasetwork, reeds or withes, sandal trays, n ax handle Ln which the grip is com>osed of delicately knotted string, n ] ot of unburned Incense for a fir# ofering of 4000 B.
