Find Tomb Richer Than
That of Tut -Ankh -Arleen
What may prove to be the most im-
portant Egyptian tomb yet discovered
is that of Ra Ouer, who lived nearly
five thousand years ago; He was high
priest of 'Egypt, but he seems also to
have held a bewildering number of
high offices, The tomb consists of two
chambers, One of these' contains the
sarcophagus of a queea whose name
has not yet been found. The mummy,
though, has a wonderful gold crown
Bashing with Jewels.
The second chamber is, Perhaps, the
more interesting owing' to the objects
it contains, The Egyptians believed
that the soul of a dead person passed
to a land where it would need all the
things that had been necessary in
life. For this reason they often
placed in their tombs not only food,
lout clothing, boats, carriages, chairs
beds, weapons, and a complete outfit
of household utensils. Thanks to this
custom we know more about the
Egyptians than aboutany other an-
cient people.
Owing
to his many state offices, the
articles placed in Ra Ouer's tomb are
of astonishing variety, Professor Has-
san believes that, when all have been
examined, the find will prove of great-
er importance than the tomb 'of Tut -
Ankh -Amen.
Dreaded Penal Station
Made Into Bird Haven
The Dry Tortugas are a series of
islets, ten in number, at the extreme
end of Florida keys, belonging to Mon-
roe county. They are low, barren and
desolate, except where partly covered
with mangrove bushes. Fort Jeffer-
son on Garden key was used as a
penal' station during the Civil war,
and it was here where Doctor Mudd,
O'Laughlin, Spangler and Arnold were
sent to serve out their terms of im-
prisonment after being found guilty
by a military commission of partici-
pation in the assassination of Fred -
rent Lincoln. , All of them were par-
doned by President Johnson, except
O'Laughlin, who died there.
In 1904 a marine biological labora-
tory was established on Loggerhead
key, one of the islands, at which mnch
important scientific work has been
done. In 1908 the 'United States gov-
ernment set aside the entire group ar
a federal bird reseravtion,
Is It the Unicorn?
Lord Belhaven and Stenton has re-
cently suggested that the unicorn of
the Bible may be really the .Arabian
oryx, or wathaihi, says London An-
swers.
One oryx, a present from Ibn Saud
to the king, was at on,e time in the
zoo. Her favorite delicacy was ciga-
rettes, which she ate with great gusto.
Some Biblical commentators consid-
er that the unicorn, or reem, of the
Scriptures, was the animal known as
the rimu by the Assyrians, a wild ox
of great size, strength and ferocity,
very Like the extinct aurochs, But
neither the oryx nor the aurochs was
a unicorn proper, for both had double
horns.
.This does not rule out either as the
Biblical unicorn, however, for the Re-
vised Version reading of "unicorn"
is always "wild ex."
Origin of Ice Hockey
The fantastic explanation has been
advanced that the Canadian Indians
originated the game of ice hockey by
taking la crosse (called baggataway
by the aborigines) and making it ap-
plicable to play on skates. In con-
tradiction, the French-Canadians main-
tain that their ancestors were the in-
ventors. Still' other factions claim
that ice hockey was a "steal" either
from "bandy," a somewhat similar
sport that originated in England, or
"shinty," as played in Scotland, or
"hurley," the Irish winter pastime.
The now proved facts are that ice
hockey was created merely by taking
field hockey and playing it on ice.
The first game ever played was in
Montreal in December, 1879. The first
hockey rules were drawn tip on Sep-
tember 17, 1879, by R. F. Smith of
Montreal.
Washington and the Stage
The play and pageant department
of the George Washington bicentennial
commission says that he had his first
contact with the theater when he wit-
nessed the play "Tbe Tragedy of
George Barnwell;" when he was in the
Barbados with his sick brother, Law-
rence. Washington notes in his dia-
ries that on Thursday, November 15,
1751, he "was treated with a play
ticket by M. Carter to see''The Trag-
edy of George Brinell' acted. The
character of Barnwell and several
others was said to be well perform'd
there was Musick a Dapted and regu-
larly conducted by M." After this
time Washington was a great lover of
the theater.

Unfriendly Wish
The two young men were walking
along the road when one of them
stopped and clutched at his compan-
ion's arni.
"I say, George," he said, "I thought
yob, were a friend of Hatton, He's
jest passed YOU by without saying a
word."
"We're not friends any longer,"
George replied. "The last time be went
abroad he sent me a postcard. On the
back were the words, 'Wish you were
here ",
'Silt 1 don't quite see —°' interrupted
his friend. .

FAVORITE HYMNS I
a
Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed
His tender last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell,
He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious willing Guest,
While He can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.
And His thatgentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of even,
That checks each . fault, that calms
each fear,
And speaks of heaven,
And every virtue we possess,
And every conquest won,
And every thought of holiness,
Are His alone.
Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness, pitying, see,
0 make our hearts Thy dwelling
place,
And worthier Thee.
This hymn depends upon that ideal
derived from our Great Teacher Him-
self, of the work and mission of the
Holy Ghost. It was the justly valu-
ed work of a talented maiden lady,
Miss Harriet Auber, who was born
in London, Eng., in 1773, and died
in 1862.
Her father was a church' of Eng-
land 'clergyman, Rector of Thring.
She lived a quiet secluded life most
of the time at Hoddesdon, Hertford-
shire, in company with. Miss Alex-
ander, a writer of devotional books
and tracts, and wrote a good deal of
poetry, most of which has already
been forgotten. In 1829 a book of
sacred verse entitled. "Spirit of the
Psalms," was published anonymously
by a clergyman. This contained a
good deal of her work. Some of her
versions of the Psalms are sweetly
melodious, and some twenty-five of
them made their way into the hymn-
books, • as for instance "With hearts
in love abounding (Ps. 45), "Whom
have we, Lord, in heaven but Thee"
(Ps. 73.) and. "Oh praise our great
and gracious Lord" (Ps. 78). Along
with these versions of the Psalms
were several hymns including that
one for Sunday "Sweet is the work,
O Lord," the Epiphany hymn
"Bright was the guiding "star that led"
one for Ascension Day, "Wide, ye
heavenly gates unfold," and most im-
portant of all the exquisite lyric,
"Our blest . Redeemer."
It was the work of a wet afternoon
at the Pentecostal time of the year
when she was confined to her home
at Hoddesdon. It is said that she
composed the words standing at her
window and she or someone else
wrote them on a pane of glass with
a diamond. This pane. was removed
'some time afterwards and it is said
is still treasured in some museum.
There is a third stanza which is sel-
dom used. As • Miss Auber wrote it
this runs:
'
"He came in tongues of living flame,
To teach, convince, subdue,
All-powerful as the wind He came
As viewless too."
This perfectly Scriptural verse may
as some relate, have had 'a reference
to the destructive work of the wind
that wet and stormy afternoon, per-
haps when the hymn was scratched
en a window -pane. Or it may have
referred simply to our blessed Lord's
words referring to the gift of the
Holy Spirit:— "The wind bloweth
where it listeth and thou hearest the
sound thereof, but canst not tell
whence it cometh, nor whither it go-
eth." The last line weakens the verse,
however, and doubtless accounted for
its frequent omission, although no
one can doubt that slightly altered
its conclusion would have given this
beautiful hymn a more perfect form.
The second verse in the original
which also is generally omitted in the
Hymnbooks ran:—
"He came in semblance of a dove,
With sheltering wings outspread,
The holy 1a1m of peace and love
On each to shed,"
The last verse in the hymn as gen-
trolly used and printed above is not
in the original but was added, prob-
ably by Sir Henry Baker, the editor
of "Hymns Ancient and Modern."
For several years, after it appeared
in the "Spirit of the Psalms," little
attention was given to the hymn,
which is now in all the hymnbooks
and has been translated into several
foreign languages.
Probably it was Daniel Sedgwick
who brought it to the attention of
the compilers of Hymns Ancient and
Modern, Mr. Sedgwick was a sec-
ondhand bookseller in London, who
attempted shoemaking first, but by
his own genius educated himself and
specialized in tris bookselling in
hymnbooks. By close study and from
love of the saibject he became the
'.greatest living authority on English
hymns, conducted 'a tremendous cor-
respondence and was in roostant
communication with 'men in all con-
ditions of life, giving assistance to
makers of hymnbooks, following up
allkinds of clues, in determining the
names and dates of hymnwriters, etc,
He died in. March, 137,x, with the
well befitting words upon his lips:
"Hallelujah, Praise the Lord!" He
left a magnificent library of hymn-
books, and of books pertaining to
hymns. Every writer upon the sub-
ject since his day, down to the au-
thor of the articles for The 'Family
Herald, has been indebted greatly to
the loving labors' b£ ` Daniel' Sedg-
wick,
The beautiful tune to which this
hymn is always set was written for it
by the Rev. Dr. Dykes, Rector of St.
Oswald's Cburch, Durham, who had
written some of the most famous
hymn -tunes of ' modern times. "Lux
rax
Benigna," the well-known tune to
"Lead Kindly Light,", said to have
been suggested to him by the rhthrnic
throb of the traffic in London streets,
is' one of them. "Nicaea," the one
and only tune to Bishop Heber's
great Trinity hymn "Holy, Holy,
Holy, Lord God Almighty," is anoth-
er. Then there is "Strength and
stay," the inspiring tune to St. Am-
brose's hymn "0 Strength and Stay,.
upholding all. creation," "Pax Dei" to
"Saviour again to Thy dear Name we
raise," "Gerontius" ; to Newmans'
"Praise to the Holiest in the height,"
"Almgiving" to Bishop Wordsworth's
"0 Lord of heaven and earth and
sea," "Requiescat" to Ellerton's "Now
the laborer's task is o'er," "Honing -
side" to "Jesu, Lover of my soul,"
"Vox Dilecti" to Dr. Sonar's "I'
heard the voice of Jesus say," and
many another well -sung tune.
One reason why his tunes were so
successful was that he always wrote
specially for hymns or services he
liked and wanted to write for. Con-
versely his fine taste may always be
reliedupon to pick out only the
choicest hymns. He never accepted
money for the tunes he wrote, and
he was continually being asked by
people all over the world and from
all sections of the Christian Church
to write music to hymns or poems.
Dr. Dykes was a busy clergyman
as well as what Cardinal Newman
styled "A great master," and his la-
bors broke down his brain at last.
His neighbor, the valued rector of
another Durham parish was called
one day and foundthat while beating
time to a tune he was composinghis
mind had given way, and ministered
to him until he passed away. This
friend, the Venerable Archdeacon
Norton, D.D., afterwards Rector of
Montreal, became secretary to a
movement to provide for his family
and to secure a monument to his
memory, which was taken up by Lon-
don newspapers and assumed large
