am xm mm If the world was created 6,000 years ago and the story of the expulsion from Eden is not a myth, confirma tory evidence of that fact will be found by old-line Bible people in Bome of the things recently unearthed In Nubia. From very recent research it has been established that disease en tered the world In the form of gout and tuberculosis not less than 6,000 years ago either entered it at that time or had been there for an indeter minable time previously. Nearly sixty centuries have rolled away since the Nubians lived In the Valley of the Nile and were victims of the intestinal concretions which seem to be the cause of appendicitis. For tunately for archaeological science, the diggers took with them an anatomist or two, who knew a thing or so about their business, and turned over to their inspection the bodies -that were un earthed from this ancient civilization which has been lying burled under Jhe wash and sands of the Nile from a time which merges into the vanishing point of history. In these excavations were found evidences of a civilization from a date preceding the earliest known dynasties of Egyptian kings down to the Byzantine age. These peo ple seem to have lived undisturbed in the possession of their fertile fields and their well-built towns, probably under the protection of the kings of Egypt. In fact, a careful examination of their heads and faces showed that they were, in reality Egyptians them selves. They did not belong to the aristocracy, but were rather the hum ble tillers of the soil the farmers of that . prehistoric time. They had a knowledge of copper, but they had not yet progressed sufficiently far in the metallic arts in the period previous to say 1800 B. C to use that metal for instruments. The only utility they could find for copper was its use as ornaments for the person. For this purpose It was manufactured and sold extensively. For tools the Nubians of that date used stone, and very good and sharp-cutting tools they made of it, too. Flint lance-heads and flint knives were found fh abundance, but no trace of a copper tool was in evi dence for some centuries. The next period ranges from 2800 B. C. to 1800 B. C, during which cop per was discovered to be highly use ful as a cutting metal and was manu factured accordingly. This was also the period of greatest change in the bodily characters of these people. The anatomists who made the examina tions declared that a new type of man had been Imported among the people of the lower Nile and had mixed his blood with that of the people he found there before him. The secret of the perfect preservation of bodies for six ty centuries lies in the fact that the people, probably not able to afford the methods of embalming that were prac ticed by the "swell" Egyptians, just took their dead and thoroughly salted the bodies. Oae disease which cccmcd to hny been prevalent to an extraordinary de gree was rheumatic gout. Thousands of these people had suffered from gout and from rheumatism. Graves were found containing fifteen or twenty bodies, all members of the same fami ly, and several generations of the same family. The anatomists were thereby enabled to trace peculiar anatomical resemblances from father to son, as well as evidences of transmitted dis ease. That this marvelous method of pre serving the dead is not practicable generally to day Is due to the fact that one of the essentials of the success of the method Is the peculiarly dry at mosphere of Egypt and the unlimited quantities of perfectly dry sand In which to bury the bodies after they have been treated with the salt or the solution of salt which the ancient Nu bians used. REVIVAL OF CHINA PAINTING. fit r"3Ue? A FASCINATING OCCUPATION FOR GIRLS. There is a distinct revival In china painting among young girls in the east, and in addition to becoming expert in the art it is considered quite an essential part of the training to make a study of the best examples of old china to be found In museums and elsewhere, and from them gather inspira tion for the decoration of modern pieces. In every department of art or industrial training nowadays the "home" Idea Is made prominent. . Girls are learning domestic economy and domestic science, and everywhere the predominant thought is the fitting of girls for the domestic side of life, and it may be because of this wave of fireside sen timent that the decoration of table ware is so deservedly popular. N To quote one of the leading instructors, "There Is, to my mind," said she, "nothing more closely allied to domestic life than the hand decorating of china. It gives a girl a love for beautiful things for the home table and opens her eyes to the nicety of table appointments, and we all know that a well appointed table Is usually the index to a successfully managed house hold. "To make collections of any sort is an admirable thing, but the collect ing of rare china for girls Is particularly so, for It not only gives the col lector a special interest in life, but she can never afterward pass by a bit of fine china, porcelain or pottery but she will glean enjoyment from it "The entire outfit, colors, brushes, oils and palette knives can be pur chased for between $3.00 and $4.00, perhaps more, perhaps less. A course of ten lessons should make the average girl quite Independent of a teacher, ex-, cept, of course, when it came to some new and vexing problem; then she would doubtless require the advice of an Instructor. In this art, as others, there Is a great difference in girls, for some are quick with their hands while others are clumsy." Title of "Eaqnlre." Esquire dated back to the days whei. ' the Greeks and Romans were in the heydey of their existence. The armor bearers who served as attendants of the knights by way of bodyguard woi e called esquires. Later, in England the king created esquires by placing col lars about their necks and bestowing upon them pairs of silver spurs. The title has never lapsed in that country. There are now legally esquires by heritage, by creation, or by virtue ot the holding of fme office la this country the title has come Into general use simply by courtes.'.', but It must be admitted that it is a very flimsy excuse for its adoption. In England there is a disposition to use it as applying to men not engaged In trade. A Preliminary Step. "Why In emigrating to America have you planned to leave your young est son behind?"

TELLS OT HIS FAMOUS ETKX Faoee af Street Andlenoe Mia Utot Inspiration for "Ufa JAmJ Surrounded by a model of a LyU fun, a piece of cable, life buoys, mega phone, wig-wag- flags, tallboarda con taining instructions to Bailors and two life ropes, the Rev. B. S. Ufford, of Rockland, Me., evangelist and author of the famous revival hymn, "Throw Out the Life Line," sat placidly among these mementos of fearful storms which 'have raged along the New Eng land coast, In the Union station wait ing for hie train to Minneapolis, the Vea Moines Register and Leader says. The Rev. Mr. Ufford Is an evangelist nd this paraphernalia, which has been actually used In the reeoue of sailors from wrecked vessels and was presented to him by captains of life saving stations at Cape Cod and Nan tucket, la used by him In his evangel istic services to illustrate his sermons. "I was aiding a pastor in East Bos ton one Sunday night in 1834, and when we were returning home after the service the subject cf conversation turned on evangelists ey,i hymns. I began thinking about u bymn that tould reach the people. My father nd grandfather had been choir lead ers before me and I had been praying that I should write a song that would live long after I had passed away. On the afternoon of that Sunday I went to the village square and spoke to non-church goers. As I looked upon the faces of those about me faces upon which were written the story of tin they seemed to be like perishing men In the billows of death. This must have suggested to me the inspir ation for my version of the hymn. J returned to the parsonage, sat dow and wrote the hymn at once. "It has been often thought that ( at one time must have been associat ed with seafaring men to give so vivid a picture as the lyric depicts, or that I had dashed off the stanzas after witnessing a wreck of some vessel Neither surmise is correct. It Is sim ply a mental picture which came to me a quarter of a century ago, vivid to be sure, but to which I added the color." The Rev. Mr. Ufford Is building a unique church by popular subscription and from the royalties received from his hymn. A large anchor Is support id over the tower. The building Is Jlvlded Into two parts, an auditorium jnd a parlor. Over the rostrum is a painting by the noted artist, Charles C. Murdock, and represents Christ la the act of saving Peter from the wares. The frieze around the auditorium rep-, resents Columbus' caravels coming to America. The church Is appropriately located at the corner of Water and Ocean streets la Rockland. His study ts la the church tower overlooking the bay. "My church will be known as the Temple of Gal lie, or the People's church, and will always be open to people of all creeds." . . In Extenuation. A little girl between 4 and 5 yean of age came running In from sliding one day and exclaimed to her moth er: "Oh, mamma, did you see me go down? I went like thunder!" . To her mother's astonished question as to whom she had heard say that the little one replied, "Well, mamma, you know yon said one day 'as qulek as lightning,' and It always thunders after It lightens, doesn't Itf A widow's plea of popularity k e save the men call her "Irresistible Battermllk Cottage Cheese. I doubt if any housewife knows that the delicious schmier kase, or cottage cheese, can be made from buttermilk as well as plain sour milk. Many farm households- have been denied the cheese because they use cream separa tors and accumulate no sour milk. Put the buttermilk in a Jar on the back part of the stove where it will heat slowly; It requires a little more heat ing to curd than does other milk. When it has entirely separated, pour off the whey, and turn the curd into a cheese-cloth sack to drip, letting It stand from eight to ten hours. When It is dry, stir a small amount of salt into the curd, and mix with sweet cream or rich milk. Woman's Home Companion.' - Glaten Bread.
