— The following quotations from, the revised edition of the New Testament are offered : "It is easier for a rich man to go through the eye of a needle than for a camel to enter the kingdom of heaven." " And the last shall be behind and tlie first in front, for many start, but it is hard to name the winner." — There is a regular business going on in mummies between Thebes and London. The mummies are brought over enveloped in their rich, bituminous covering, and — horresco referens — ground-up, bones, cases, coverings, bitumen and all! What for? Why for paint. There seems to be no burnt sienna like ground mummy. The English artists are willing to pay high, for . this mummy paint. By-and-bye, the Royal Academy walls may be limned with, the dxist of the Ptolemies !
