Knveuna wm the result of my
dreams. II was the very iucarua
tion of classic art, of rtrowBy poetry
nil idealism; aud often, when
thrilling with tbenniHic of hia sweet
tenor voice, I had the grace to
imagine him immortal. His peca
iar expression was a revelation of
genius; his classic features the syn
onym of art; aud his words, the
words of a prophet. He could speak
English with perfect ease, but his
voire showed an Italian twang, that
added charm to a less imposing
niunuer.
One night, after the opera, Ra
venna and I sat at supper, in a lit
tle restaurant, just off ISroadway.
We often dined there together, aud
talked in friendly confidence. Our
habits were almost similar; and
Ravenna's genius, which was es
sential in every way, drew me to
him, as the magnet draws the
needle. Itavenna had given me his
version of many things, that were
intangible to me, and presuming
on the past, I asked him, on this
particular night, to explain some
thing else. We were both tuned
up, so to speak, to express our
views in the most forcible style;
aud Havennahad finished drinking
his favorite liquor, which desirable
fact neant that he was transformed
in genius, as well as in language.
"What will lie our subject to
night, Khistont" he asked, after a
a pause.
"As you are the speaker, yon
must invent a subject," I replied.
His brilliant black eyea shone
like dusky diamonds nuder the
chandelier light
"I have told you of religion, of
poetry and vanity," be responded.
"How would you like a version of
love and the goddess!"
"Nothing could be more interest
ing," I agreed.
"So'tislove," Ravenna laughed,
"'tis the American passion, do, for
the American passion is money,
aud love is the heart throb of the
world."
"The version!" I reminded him.
Again Ravenna laughed.
" 'Tis a version," he began,
" 'tis the love that blooms in the
ultra-fashionable drawing-room of
America, that I will tell you about,
Rhiston. ' Tis the sin of it all. So
many mistakes are made. The rea
son is not their fault, but the fault
of the wealth and consequent leis
ure they possess."
"The results are plainly visible,"
continued Ravenua. "Easily tangi
ble; and the iroddess of Love frowns,
while the god of Discord makes
merry. Oh Kbiston, my boy, tne
great pity of it all, the fact that
their money reaps misery instead
of happiness. The infernal leisure
is the ostensible cause. Am I ex
plicit ao fart"
I nodded.
"They speud their time with mu
sic, daot-iug aud drink iug. The
poetry of the music, the dancing,
lb st i Bin leu t of the wine, arouses
their instincts of worship, of arti
ficial worship, and tbey are iirno
ceut euough to believe themselves
in love. The match is made and
instead of having joined love with
love, taste with similar taste, tbey
have only joined wealth with
wealth. Next the sacred ceremony
is performed, the untrue vows are
made, and they are linked together
as one, but not one. The god of
Discord laughs, celebrates aud is
merry; but the goddess of Love is
sad, sad because she loves the true
and kuows that it is a aiu agaiust
the living (rod to make false vows.
Ibe great tragedy is ended in
court"
"Afterwards!" I asked.
Ravenna gazed at me with an ex
pression ef solemn prophecy.
"Afterwards," he responded.
"They never survive one great sin.
They go on and on. They reap the
results that you see every where.
Tbey are doomed here and in etcr
nity."
"The goddess of Love!" I said,
"Weeps upon her throne aud it
is desecrated. The god o( Discord
is the elected ruler."
"We often succeed," I respond
ed.
"Love is after all a temporary
delusion," Ravenna explained.
"Wc an never get anything worth
while as we want it if we should
accomplish such a miracle, Death
would result God does not allow
us to get perfectly satisfied with
life. Always there is some worry
simple or otherwise.
"Another expression of your gen
ius," I told him. "Some day I
may have it all. Time however is
uncertain like love."
Kaveuua laughed at my wisdom:
and we drank our liquor with a
prayer to the goddess of Love, who
reigns on the desecrated throne.
"This brings in mind Portia, or
the merchant of Venice," Ravenna
concluded with the beautiful love
song:

Or in the heart, or in the head?

I EGYPT AND THE BIBLE. '!
For sometime I have Wu exaiu
ing the geography of the F.xodiisas
given by Moses and, ho fur as I can
judge, it seems to he all right His
descriptioon of tvlen, however, has
given rise to much singulation. I
have taken a hand at trying to lo
cate it and have alkiut reached the
conclusion that I am now iu it
The garden was over in Asia, prob
ably somewhere in the valley of the
Kuph rates, but Ivleu embraced a
much larger territory. "Aud the
name of the second river is Cihou;
the same is it that compaeth the
whole land of htbiopia ' (lieu.,
l.'t). The great Jewish historian
Josephus says expressly that (iihon
was the -Nile. As it compassed
Kthiophia it must have becu the
Vile. Now Moses knew where
Ethiopia was fur he informs ns
that he married an Kthiophiuu and
a man always knows where his
inother-iu law lives. This inter
pretation places me in Kden and,
consequently, is an additional rea
son why I should be having a nice
time down here iu this land of won
ders. Kgypt is hi i (iK.NKitis. In
the pre historic past it wits the
home of wise men, now it is the
puzzle of the wise. Long before
the dawn of authentic history there
was a high order of civilization in
the Xile valley. Its jieople prac
ticed arts that have been lost to
knowledge, yet the products of
their marvellous geuius are here to
speak for themselves. For ages the
history of the early hgyptiaus was
a sealed book. Tbey had a written
history but it was in their tombs
and monuments in figures of men,
birds, beasts, implements aud
curious looking characters. They
had no tatter alphabet Only a
few years back the key was found
that unlocks much of the mystery
surrouudiug the early inhabitants
of Egypt. The clue wits furnished
by the Roseita stone which is now
iu the liiitisli museum. I'pon that
stone were three lu.-u tint ions, one
iu ancient Egyptian, one iu the
popular language of a later period
aud the third iufiieek, the two last
being merely translations of the
first From the key thus afforded,
Greek schohirs worked out the al
phabet of the hieroglyphics. Now
the records of the prehistoric
Egyptians can be read, and as new
discoveries are made new light is
thrown on the past. Duly the other
day there was discovered iu the
alley of the Kings the tomb of the
great queen Thi, wife of Ameiihotep
III. It contained her mummy,
coffin aud numerous other objects.
The inscriptions have not yet been
translated. Researches are still go
ng on and are unfolding the secrets
of antiquity. Scholars have gone
under the grouud and iu the tombs
and brought out strange statuary
aud paintings, aud have read the
inscriptions thereon by means ol
the alphabet of picture writing.
The world is deeply interested iu
these researches in Egypt The
greatest interest centers in the ques
tion as to the effect upon the record
of Moses. Those who believe iu,
aud those who would refute, the
Pentateuch are alike keenly inter
ested in what has been discovered
and are watching the results of
Egyptian research. People of ev
ery shade of religious belief recog
nize the fact that these ancient
records tell no lies. They speak
facts that will not bend one way or
the other to suit the opinions of
any one. They are lacts, regaru-
lcssof whether they confirm or con
tradict any body. In the Roulak
museum in Cairo are some strange
sights which put one to thinking.
Not only have the standing monu-
nieuts told their ancient story, but
the silence of the tomb has beeu
broken and even the dead made to
talk again. There are the sarcoph
agi of kings of various dynasties
with their deeds chisleil In the
Syene granite. There are the royal
coffins in which are carvings and
paintings that tell a tale of the long
ago. In these coftius lie the mum
mies of the kings themselves whose
features speak in eloquent silence.
In the different rooms are collected
the historical series of statues of
kings of the different dynasties,
showing the feature, eyes, hair,
beard, etc. As you pass from one
room to another you note t he change
of appearance. Those of the l"th,
16th and 17th dynasties are entire
ly unlike those of the earlier and
later dynasties. They are a differ
ent race of people. Their color,
hair, long beard and Asiatic coun
tenances are wholly unlike those of
the prior or subsequent dynasties.
Why Abraham, Lot and Joseph
Did So Well In Egypt.
The kings of the 15th, Kith and
17th dynasties were the "Shepherd
Kines." nomadic warriors who
came from Asia and conquered
Erypt They were, it is believed,
Syrian Bedowins. Tbey ruled in
lower Egypt for about 500 years
and down to about the year 1575
B. C, according to Egyptologists.
According to the Bible chronology,
that would cover the visit of Abra
ham and the residence of Joseph in
Egypt Now, the native Egyptians
despised a shepherd, (Hen., 36:
44). But if a shepherd or the de-
arsnitant nf a ahenherd was on the
'J throne, Abraham aid Lot would
feel free to cme and bring their
flocks down into Egypt. Slay not
the fact that a shepherd king ruled
in Egypt explain the preaeuce of
i Abraham and Lot down heref May
, uot the same fact accouut for the
'elevation of Joseph, a shepherd
: liov, to I ruler of Egypt under
! riiaraobf It may be noted further
that when the father aud brethern
of Joeeph moved here aud Joseph
wanted them to have Goshen for a
dwelling place, he instructed them
what to say to l'haraoh, and they
told I hamuli that they were shep
herds, ((ieu., 47: 3.) The land
of tiosheu lay ou the edge of the
desert and had not only rich agri
cultural soil but open pasture land
on either side. Joseph knew that
(ioshen would best suit his father
aud brethren. He also knew that
the native Fxyptiaus would not
want these shepherds among them
and that l'haraoh would, therefore,
put his kindred over on the border,
in order not to create discontent
amonghisnativesubjectH. Joseph's
scheme worked like a charm, l'ba
raoh not only gave them the land
they desired but wanted some of
the Israelites to take charge of his
owu cattle (4 : li).
Looking Upon the Face of the
Cruel Rameses.
Fussing out of the room of the
Shepherd Kings we see another
kind of people. They were native
Egyptians who expelled troin Egypt
the Shepherd Kings. These ruled
several years, wheu "there arose up
a new King over Egypt, which
kuew not Joseph," (Ex., 1:8). It
is uow settled with reasonable cer
tainty that Rameses II of the l!Hb
dyuasty was the Pharaoh of the op
pression. Among other burdens
put ou the Iraclites, he made
them build "treasure cities, Pith
oni aud Raaiuses,'') Ex., 1: 11).
I'ithom bits been definitely located
in (ioshen and ouly a short while
back several grain stores, in the
shape of deep chambers, without
windows or doors, into which gram
was poured from above, have been
discovered there. At the same
place a temple was erected by Ram
eses II aud a granite monument of
him was lately found there the
latter now in the city of Ismailia.
This same Rameses was a great
builder. He constructed more mon
uments, temples aud statues than
any other Egyptian. King. They
are found all over the land. From
the number aud size of them he
must have oppressed his subjects,
eupocially t'jo orcigu element that
he did not like. If further proof
were necessary to show that he was
the oppressor it is at baud iu the
same museum. Ilia mummy U

himself who was so heartless. His
general features are well preserved.
lie was at least six feet tall, had a
rather small head, receding fore
head, aquiline nose, firmly set chin,
a very long neck, and at time of
death part of his teeth gone, bald-
headed aud the remaining hair
very gray. As he ruled 67 years
he must have been !I0 or 100 when
he died. The expression is that of
a mau of energy, determination, ex
treme selfishness aud remorseless
cruelty. His very looks point him
out as the oppressor of the Hebrews
and as the king who ordered the
male children of the oppressed to
lie killed. To escape his cruel or
der the iufant Moses was hid in
thi bull rushes aud to escape his
wrath, forty years later, Moses fled
to Midian aud did not return uutil
the Lord assured him that those
who sought his life were dead.
(Ex., 4: 10). The mummy of Ram
eses was identified by the inscrip
tion in the tomb and ceftin. As one
looks upou the lifeless form of this
Pharaoh a troop of thoughts pass
through the miud. Once a mau of
mighty power and unfeeling cruel

Pharaoh Was Not Drowned In the

of the 10th dynasty, was the Pha
raoh of the Exodus. His mnmmy

must be a mistake, as his body lay

thiei Pharaoh was drowned. That
was news to me. I bad always;
thought that Pharaoh was dro lied
in the lied Sea. As soon as 1 reach-'

read again what it said. Miwnt
says: "The water returned, andeov-1
ered the chariots, aud the horse
men aud all the host of l'haraoh!
that came in the sea after them,"
(Ex., It: 17 ). He does not assert i
that Pharaoh went into the sea and
it is not likely that the King him
self would have pursued them after
they were beyond his kingdom,
Heuce, the mummy of Menephtah

embalming aud by reason of the
persistent researches of Egyptolo

the children of Israel, the same
man iu whose bosom once throbbed

Might Account for Cain's Wife
and Some Other Things.
So much for monuments and
mummies of kings reigning during
the period of the Hebrew sojourn
in Egypt But "there are others."
Tbey are of a date prior to Abra
ham's visit They go back into
the misty past of Egypt about
which Moses says absolutely noth
ing. Among the monuments of the
early dynasties or old monarchy
are some, npon which old Time,
the tomb builder, has had but little
effect The oldest of these, accord
ing to Egyptologists, were con
structed 5000 years before Christ
They figure out their age by the
length of the diflereut dynasties
that have ruled the land. If they
are correct, then these monuments
would likely lie older thau Adam.
There must be some error in the
chronology of the antiquarian in
vestigators, or that of Usher, or in
both. There is much learning ou
the subject in the book stores here.
Some claim that the extreme age of
these monuments, which show that
the early Egyptians were experts
in the arts and sciences, does not
contradict the Bible but is iu perfect
harmony with the accouut of cre
ation. Moses, it is contended, gives
an accouut of the creation of man
kind in geueral in the first chapter
of Genesis, while Adam is not
mentioned until we reach the sec
ond chapter. "Male and female
created he them (1:27), blessed
them and ordered them to be fruit
ful, multiply aud repleuish the
rth" ( 1: 27), and all of this lie
fore Adam is alluded to at all. Be
tween that creation and that of
Adam, it is suggested, ages may
have elapsed and in those ages the
bgyptiaus coum nave attained to
that high civilization, the remains
of which so much astonish us today.
Whether true or not the theory is
interesting. It would explain the
case of Cain. It might account for
the people of whom Cain was afraid,

Look at a man of business

just what kind of a man he will

at breakfast, late at school,
stands a poor chance to be a

small, and excuses himself by

A wealthy man without chil
dren is confronted in his tax bill I
with an item of fifty or a hundred I
dollars, perhaps more, for the!
support of public schools. He
objects and demurs. Why should
he be compiled to pay for the
education of the children of other
people? This is his indignant
contention. It is unjust, it is
wrong every way, he says. The
roly is, that ho must hubmft to
the tax, because it is necessary
to protect his property from the
misrule of an ignorant popula
tion. He submits and pays the
tax without further ado. But he
turns and adds: "The very chil
dren who are most likely to be
come bad citizens, are not attend-
is Mrs. 8. Uup- j jn(r tne 8chools. If I am to pay
"One year ago the Slate for tne education of the
children, then the State must, in
simple honesty, compel attend
ance, inis argument is unan
swerable, and hence compulsory
attendance. But to tax the peo
ple for the support of public
schools, and then allow the chil
dren to attend or stay away at
pleasure, is an absurdity so man
ifest that the demand for com
pulsory attendance haa already
been set up in several btates. 1
am not more certain that the sun
will rise tomorrow than I am that
compulsory attendance will pre
vail at length in all the bouth, as
it now prevails in all the States
north of Mason and Dixon's line.
