The work of the Harvard University Boston Museum of Fine Arts expedi­ tion to Ethiopia, which has spent 10 years in Egyptian archaeological ex­ ploration and is still working there, is an example of how such explora­ tions are carried out. Its search has resulted In the discovery, in an ob­ scure village beyond the borders ot Egypt, on the banks of the Nile River, of a great number of tombs which were found to contain the history of 26 generations of Ethiopian kings who ruled over Egypt, and the recovery from beneath the deeply drifted sands of material buried and lost to human knowledge for thousands of years, re­ vealing the arts and crafts of this lost civilization. The explorer comes upon a mound, or series of mounds, of drifted sand in the desert in a region known to have been inhabited by ancient races. He sets his trained workmen to cleariiy; away the sand, after first having mady photographs or the undisturbed sit^ As soon as a tomb or pyramid is un­ covered, the stairway leading into the tomb is the first to be cleared. This had been filled in after the funeral with the clean debris left after the ex­ cavation of the rock-cut chambers and the building of the pyramid. Then the plunderers came, at some time or other, and dug a hole in the clean fill­ ing of each stair-way, this hole after­ ward becoming stopped up paitly with the things that the grave robbers threw away as valueless, and partly with drift sand. The robbers were na­ turally after the gold and jewels they knew had been buried in the royal tombs. It is easy to distinguish between the original filling and the debris of the thieves’ tunnel. The objects found in the latter usually came from the royal burial chamber and, in the records of expeditions, have to be carefully dis­ tinguished from other objects. When the doorway at the foot of the stairs has been reached, the workmen begin to clear the pyramid above, or another stairway, until the record of the block­ ings and measurements of the stairs have been made. After that, the sand is removed, leaving only about 8 inch­ es of the floor debris intact. What­ ever is found in the sand—and it is usually little enough—is considered as having washed in from the thieves’ tunnel outside. When the sand is out, then the serious and difficult work of examining the floor debris and remov­ ing it bit by bit begins, and for this only the most skilled Egyptian work­ ers are employed, under the super­ vision of a member of the expedition. This floor dirt is to the Egyptologist what pay dirt is to th gold miner. -------------<>-------------• Miracle Water in England Works Wonderful Cures. “Miracle” water, said to contain the elixir of life, has been discovered in an old well in the little Essex village of Vange. Stories of wonderful cures effected by the water have caused pilgrimages from many parts of the country, people arriving on foot, with teams and in luxurious motor cars. A titled woman wh-o drank less than two glasses said that it made her feel better. A millionaire who drank from the well took a jug of the water away and told the humble that if the water did it would do the man to do another day’s An average of more than 500 visit­ ors daily have been visiting the well carrying every conceivable sort of re­ ceptacle and all are served free. The “miracle” water -was discover­ ed during a drought by an eighty-year- old farmer named George Murrell. He had recourse to a puddle which never seemed to dry up and used the water for making tea. It has a curious taste, but a few hours after drinking k Mur­ rell felt a strange new vigor within him. The next day he drank more and said, ‘I felt better than I had in twenty years.” Murrell told about his discovery to a seventy-year-old neighbor named Charles Cash, who found that the water came from a well. He drank some of it and experienced the same sensations as Murrell. On the advice of a doctor a sample was sent to a public analyst in Lon­ don, who discovered an amazing com­ bination of medical properties which, he says, are not equaled even by the famous springs in Bohemia. Then the pilgrimages began. People suffering from rheumatism, dyspepsia, gout and skin diseases drank the water and claimed that they were cured. There were many ex-service men among them. The farmers have been urged to make a charge, but they will not do so as they think the spring was sent by God. Meanwhile the village is crowded and tents have been ordered to ac­ commodate the visitors. ~------ -----o------------- Worry and fear destroy memory nd disintegrate almost all the men­ tal faculties.

Though, even now, I can’t believe that you could 'be so base!” “Good God! Araby! What are you thinking? What monstrous thing are you imagining?” There was horror in his voice now. The girl laughed, facing him. “What is there for me to think?” she flung at him. “You’ve deceived me all along, from the very beginning.

You went to France after her”—she made a weary gesture as he exclaimed,. “Oh, don’t deny that, either. You were seen with her, often. And yet you lied when you were asked if you knew where she was. I think now it -would be better if you said nothing at all. I cculd not be­ lieve yiou!” “Araby!” His reiteration of her name seemed to rouse a sudden spark of fierce passion in her. 'She 'swung round upon him fully, facing him with head flung back, eyes' ablaze. “Don’t!” she cried hoarsely. “Why, can’t you go? Why can’t you under-! stand that it is an affront for you to dare to try and brazen this thing cut I with me? Do you think I am still the child, the pitiable little fool I was when I let you persuade me to marry you clandestinely?

But I was so hopelessly young—so sure that your protestations were ‘the real thing!’ ” ■ She stopped.

And1 what had passed be­ tween him and Marcia during those hours no one would know. Together, ■ dumbly, they had faced not only the ‘realization that the darkness was closing in upon her, but that the bar­ rier between them was indeed im- passElble. Waldron had- asked no further questions:. He and hits love were great enough for compilete understanding of Marcia’s motives lin acting as she had done. If there was anything in his heart for her save love, it was com­ passion. Only o-noe, with 'his lips on hers, he had: cried., huskily, “Why should we i stand apart ? Marcia, Marcia, what : does the world matter—what does anything matter—save just our love, the little of joy that is left to us?” She did1 not answer at once. When she did she showed' herself for a mo­ ment, stronger than hie. “Nothing. Only the joy would turn t:o ashes. A little cf the sweetness would be tainted. And for you, after­ ward, there would tie regret.” She drew herself cut :of his hold a moment later. Kempton had en­ tered unannounced. He glanced quick­ ly from one to the other. But he ad­ dressed Waldron. “Marcia has explained everything?” He spoke jerkily. Waldron gave him a close, long look and nodded. “Yes. At least, I admit I’m still a 'bit In the dark as to your side of the story. In Gcd’s name, Kemp-, what made you consent? What motive had you if you didn’t care, and I know it was not that?” “There’s such a thing as chivalry, pity!” Miarcia broke in hurriedly. “It was I who made the suggestion. Kempton fell! in with it out of—out cf compas-ion-----” She stopped, her eyes meeting Kempton’s. He stared, then flushed sS'owly. There was that in his eyes that brought tears to her own. “You’re a brick!” he said to her simply, then turned: again -to Waldron. Tersely, very briefly, he toild him all that Marcia had left out. “I wasn’t guilty, Jasper,” he finish­ ed. “But there was only one way I could prove it then. And Miss Hal­ stead was a stranger. 1 couldn’t tell her I was shielding someone else. Be- ; sides, if I had she’d have had as much power over me.” He saw her wince and made a quick gesture. “Please don’t think I blame her. She had so much to rose* and to gain.

The educational possibilities of the phonograph are coming to be realized more and more, particularly in the kindergarten and public schools. Nowadays a phonograph is part of the equipment of most up-to-date schools and more or less organized courses in music appreciation are in­ cluded in the training. But a phono­ graph in the home also offers many opportunities for developing and training the child mind that are fre­ quently unsuspected!. Several of the phonograph companies are devoting considerable time and expense to this phase of the work and there are many records now available which parents | will find interesting and valuable for. children. It is a well-established fact that: music makes its deepest and most j lasting impression in the early years j of childhood. The parents who know | what music makes the most genuine1 appeal and how to use it at this period will be amply rewarded for; their efforts. Among young children: the ear is very susceptible and easily; visitor looked at her half shyly, half eagerly. “Miss Bailey, I am Emily Harrow’s mother. I have been mean­ ing to come to see you for weeks, but we’ve had illnesis. I wanted to thank you—Mr. Harrow and I both do—for all you have done for Emily.” “I!” Miss Bailey gasped. Emily’s mother smiled, a clear cour­ ageous smile. “You’ve been so pa­ tient. You see, we know that Emily will _ always have a hard time with many studies. And there have been teachers who have hurt her so. She isn’t dull in other things, only in books. She is really a wonderful little housekeeper, to nothing of being the dearest little daughter in the world. That’s why we think of her teacher as one of our especial friends. Could you come to dinner Friday night?” Mrs. Harrow went out in a few min­ utes. The teadiex « discouraged weari­ ness was gone. It was a beautiful world with real fathers and mothers in it.

If there is no place for permanent drain boards, sliding or hinged shelves j may be used. A right-handed person usually holds the dish in the left hand while washing or wiping it, and the that.1 dishcloth, dish mop, or towel, in the right hand. It is convenient, there-' fore, to have the dishes move from I right to left as they pass from dish­ pan to rinsing pan, and from rinsing pan to drainer and tray.

The question is often asked: How early should a child begin the study of music (with particular reference to learning to play some instrument) ? Of more vital importance to the child’s future welfare is tffe question: How early should the child hear music, and what kind of music should he hear? the whole class to be in- through history and geo-iI of no use to keep the special The Off Day. It had been one of the days, known to all teachers, when a spirit of rest­ lessness and stupidity seems to sweep the schoolroom. Of course, Miss Bailey said to herself, no human being could be expected to teach Emily Har­ row decimal fractions. But for Ray ’ Farrol and Julie Shallop to fail when both of them were as keen as razors! And for different graphy! It was offenders in; if she kept them in she would have to keep the whole room,1 and she did not feel like doing that. Her only hope was that the morrow would be a better day. They were all gone at last. With a quivering sigh of weariness Miss Bailey dropped down at her desk. She wanted to think things out. Was there really a difference in the children?; Or was she getting old and “stale”?! The thought sent a stab of fear to her heart. But her supervisor had given her special commendation only last month. She couldn’t have changed in a month.

And I knew that what I was doing was not—forever! I’m sorry!” He turned- to Marcia. The girl smiled' at him, faintly, mistily. “Don’t foe.

' I I Whereabouts of the Kitchen Sink. Certain it is that the sink is one of the biggest savers of time, strength, and labor in the home ■when properly located—and one of the greatest burdens when missing or of the wrong type. Strange as it may seem, thousands of women are struggling along with no sink at all or, at best, a very poor and badly placed one. The size of the family and of the: kitchen determines the size of the sink, but a short sink with ample table and shelf room near it may be more convenient than a long sink. Two smaller sinks, one for the table ■ dishes near the dining room and the; other for general use in the kitchen,: are very convenient. The material'-should be the best, available, non-absorbent of grease as' well as of moisture, and there should be no cracks or square corners to in-: crease the work of keeping it clean. A wooden sink, even when it receives an annual coat of paint, will absorb moisture and grease which attracts insects, and is likely to be swarming with bacteria and to “sour” and have an unpleasant odor. Even drainboards of wood are not best, unless they have a waterproof finish of varnish, oil or paint. If a wooden sink is necessary,' it is better to have it metal lined,' provided the sheets of metal, which is usually tin, zinc/ galvanized iron, cop- ‘ per or lead, are soldered where they are joined and all parts of the sink,! including the tops of the sides, are covered with the metal, &o that there is no chance for the wood to absorb moisture. Another plan is to have a cement sink built into a wooden frame and lined with sheet copper or tin to make a smooth surface. Enameled-iron sinks are smooth, last well with careful use, and may be easily kept clean, but they are more expensive than iron. Porcelain sinks are similar to the enameled ones, but their price is almost prohibitive. Per­ haps the ideal plan, if cost is not to be considered, would be to have an enameled or porcelain sink for the tableware in the kitchen or pantry near the dining room and an iron sink or soapstone sink for the heavier kit­ chen ware. The double sinks, with one basin for washing and another for draining dishes, are very convenient, but un­ fortunately they are relatively ex­ pensive. A small sink with a rubber stoppei* for its escape pipe may be used as a dish pan. If possible there should be a wide shelf or drain board on each side of the sink on the level with the rim of the latter, on» to receive soiled dishes; Make Your Own Candied Fruit.
