AN ADONIS IS OF EGYPT.

NENKHEFTA, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN IN THE WORLD.

His Mummy Found In s Cemetery Near the City of El Kab—“The San Smiled Upon Him,” but He Died Like Other Mor- tals—-Wife and Son In Tomb With Him,

The Adonis of Egypt 5,400 years age isagain among men. Not as he was when women bowed before him and his every gesture was looked upon almost as if it were that of a gq@i, but swathed in the habiliments of the regulation

sar died and turned to clay this man ruled the dwellers om 250,000 acres with a rod of iron. The women adored him for his beauty. ‘The men feared and respected him for his wisdom. Near the city of El Kab, which is

situated 75 miles north of the present |

site of Cairo, there lies am ancient ceme- tery so old that even the men to whom the papyrus scrolls are as familiar as the waters of the Nile ere unable to say when it was first devoted to the pur- pose of housing the mortal tenements of the old Egyptians. The archzologist has long found it a fruitful field for re- search, and many a munumy that today is gazed on in the museums with round eyed wonder was undisturbed here for thousands of years.

lt so happened that a short time ago persons prospecting for new fields ina hill in the cemetery described discover- ed a little pit which apparently had never been made the subject of investi- gation. Excavation brought to light the fact that it was not only something mew, but from the archzologist’s standpoint one of the most important finds in a very long time. The pit was the entrance to a solid chamber of rock containing a number of stone coffins or sarcophagi. Besides these there lay upon the floor of the chamber a num- ber of statues. Examination of the various contents showed that one of the sarcophagi contained the mummy of Nenkhefta, and the roli of papyrus and the inscriptions on the sarcophagus both gave the information that these were the mortal remains of ‘‘the most beautiful man in Egypt and probably the world."’

When the wrappings of the mummy of this ancient Adonis were unfolded, there was nothing to indicate that the remains were those of a man of any beauty whatsoever. The grinning ekele- ton looked exactly like those of today. The only odd fact was that the shape of the skull, the hands and the feet were, while unmistakably Egyptian, of more classic mold than thos: of most mum- mies. The formation of theskull also indicated that its owner when alive pos- sessed great mental development, thus justifying the pleasant things which were said about him in the perfectly preserved roll of ancient manuscript which recited his history.

Some of the archezologists here were at first inclined to doubt the accuracy of the claims made regarding this find, but investigation showed that there was no cause for doubt whatever. It would have been impossiple to perpetuate a fraud of this sort. The papyrus roll, which told the history of Nenkkefia, set forth that his dorainion extended over 42 miles of the banks of the Nile. His residence was termed Nishwaka, which is supposed to mezn that the vil- lage where he lived bore that titie. ‘‘Great were his flocks, oh, ruler of rulers,’ says the manuscript.- ‘None was so wise. None was so beloved. The gan smiled on him when he jour- neyed abroad, and when he looked with displeasure a sorrow as of death came upon him who had caused it. He was to his people what the waters of the Nile

are to Egypt. Great is bisnmame. No man who lives was so beautiful. There

is none to take his place."’

Perhaps there was a touch of oriental extravagance in this, but among the statues found on the floor of the ckam- ber was one which unquestionably was intended to represent Nenukhefta. This was evidence sufficient that the inscrip- tion must not have been without cause. According to the standard of beauty which existed in Egypt in those days, Nenkhefta was certainly an Adonis. While in sculpture the ancient Egyptian was not equal to the genius of tocay he was a man of much skill, and there is ng reasop tp doybt that sue statue is a

fairly faithful représentation most beautiful man in Egypt.’’

In the tomb of Nenkhefta were also the mummies of his wife and little son. It would appear from the informa- tion contained in the papyrus that this old time Egyptian was content with one wife, something of a rarity in those days. He was evidently an exception to all rules, however, and this probably accounts for the presence of the mum- mies of his wife and son in his tomb. It is believed that if he had had more than one wife there would be some evi- dence in the form of inscription or oth- erwise to indicate that this was his fa- vorite wife and the mother of his son. It is held that this must have been his only son from the statement on the pa- pyrus scroll, ‘‘There is none tc take his place. ’’

Nenkhefta’s wife was named Nylep- tha. This is the inscription on her sar- cophagus, ‘‘Nyleptha, the Queen of Nenkhefta, Greatest of Rulers.’’ Noth- ing is said as to whether or not she was beautiful, as it is plainly evident that the effulgence of Nenkhefta was such that any womanly charm in his family Was practically lost sight of.—Wash- ington Post.

Durability of Ivory.

The durability of ivory is proved by the fact that billiard balls which for the sake of curiosity had been made of very well preserved mammoth ivory un- doubtedly many thousand years old were played with for several months by experienced players in Paris without it being noticed that the balls were not made of fresh ivory. Mammoth ivory is, Bs @ rule, not as tough as f.esh ivory.

It Was Not Dynamite.

What a little thing can cause a great to do was shown when two men stopped to examine a peculiar looking black ob- ject from which protruded a short hand and several jagged wires and which lay on the payement before one of the Chestnut street skyscrapers. They walked around it once or twice; then, pausing, one of them said, ‘‘ Dynamite!’’ The explosive word falling upon the ears of two other passersby caused them to stop too. This addition attracted sev- eral others from across the street, and the crowd grew until a considerable and still increasing number stood about. Then theories were advanced as to what it was, but nobody would touch it, not even with a ten foot pole. ‘‘Pick it up, Bill,’’ said one, but Bill drew back with an emphatic refusal.

Then the ubiquitous pavement orator put in his appearance. He knew what it was, for he had been to Chicago in the hottest of the anarchistic manifesta- tions, and he explained exactly how bombs are made. ‘‘Mebbe it’s wound up,’’ he said, ‘‘and’ll go off any min- ute.’’ And the crowd retreated a pace or two. But curiosity was strong, and the orator continued that he knew, in fact, of a certain secret band sworn to blow up that very building. Several of the men breathed hard and looked up at the top story, and while they were thus lost in contemplation a small boy, with the bravado of innocence or ignorance, grasped the handle of the portentous bundle and lifted-—a tattered old um- brella, stuck in the grating of a coal hole. The crowd giggled, but the man who had been to Chicago left in silence. —Philadelphia Presa

and horror, There are tens of thousands slowly dying every day with the arrow of some insidious dis- ease poisoning their Vitals, and no one stops to pity or to alleviate.

Where death comes to one man on the battle-field it comes to tens of thousands in their homes, through the agency of man’s most relentless enemy — consumption. There is a widespread idea for which ignor- ant physicians are responsible, that con- sumption is an incurable disease. Thisisa mistake. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery cures 98 per cent. of all cases. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It gives zest to the appetite, makes the diges- tion and assimilation perfect, renders the liver active, makes the blood pure and fills it with life-giving elements of the food, and acts directly on the lungs, driving out all impurities and disease germs. Thousands who had been given up by doctors and lost all hape, are to-day healthy and robust as the result of the use of this great medicine. It is the discovery of an eminent and skill- ful physician, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the In- valids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buf- falo, N.Y. In writing to Dr. Pierce foradvice the sufférer consults a physician whor his townspeople honored by making him their represetitative in congress but whose love for his profession caused him to resign that position that he might give his whole time to the sick and afflicted. He will person- ally answer all letters from sufferers with- out charge. His ‘‘Golden Medical Discov- ery’’ is sold by all good medicine dealers.

Stomach and liver troubles with sluggish action of the bowels are cured by Doctor Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets.
