This is but an outline, showing the kind of specimens found among the
ruins of El Kasr el Bint el Yahudî (the Castle of the Jew’s Daughter),
and serve to add to the innumerable proofs—if proof were needed—of the
advanced civilisation of the ancient Egyptians. It is believed that
those antiquities will eventually be divided between the Museum at
Boulak (Cairo), the British Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts at Boston,
U.S., and several of the provincial museums of Great Britain.
THE EMIGRANTS’ INFORMATION OFFICE.
It is satisfactory to know that government has at last opened an
office for the dissemination of authentic information to intending
emigrants. The emigration schemes before the country are legion; but
those who apply here will be safe to receive information as to the
British colony to which they propose to emigrate, which does not spring
from any interested motive. At the same time it is always safe for
intending settlers to supplement any knowledge received in this way by
authoritative handbooks, books of travel, and the experiences of former
settlers. Now that there is a prospect of the Indian and Colonial
Exhibition becoming a permanent institution in our midst, we will be
kept pretty well informed as to the position and prospects of our
different colonies. The premises of the Emigrants’ Information Office
are at 31 Broadway, Westminster, London, S.W. The office will be open
every day from twelve noon to eight P.M., except on Wednesdays, when
it will be open from ten A.M. to one P.M. The circulars issued by the
office will be sent to the secretaries of any societies or institutions
who will send in their addresses to the chief clerk.
