"The head is long and small in proportion to the body. The crown is utterly bald; the hair is scanty about the temples, but grows in thick, lank tufts on the nape. It was white before death, but has been stained light yellow by the sweet essences with which the body was embalmed. The ears were almost round, standing out from the head, and are pierced like those of a woman. The mouth is small, and bordered with thick, fleshy lips, behind which is a row of white teeth that were kept clean with evident care. Whiskers and beard are thin. They were shaved during lifetime, but grew in the last illness, or may-be after death. The low forehead is narrow, and the brow prominent, and covered with white hairs. The eyes are small, and set close to one another; the nose long, thin, aquiline, and slightly flattened at the tip by the pressure of the bandages. The temple is hollow, the cheek-bones are prominent, the jaw is strong, and the chin very underhung. The face of the mummy is certainly not an intelligent one, and almost appears bestial; but it has an unmistakable look of pride, doggedness, and majesty." [Illustration: RESCUE BY DOGS OF ST. BERNARD.] As regards the body, it is that of an aged man, who was singularly vigorous and robust, and must have lived to nearly a hundred years of age. From the inscriptions on the coffin, it appeared that the body it held had reigned over Egypt for sixty-seven years, during which time the country had attained the pinnacle of national greatness. The Hebrews groaned under his oppression, and hundreds of thousands, while employed to build the city of Ramesis, had died under the taskmasters' lash. This mummy was the greatest among the Pharaohs--Sesostris. He was found in a wonderful state of preservation, after having remained in that coffin for thirty-five centuries. The second mummy proved to be that of Rameses III. The third mummy became putrid from exposure to air, and was accordingly buried by M. Maspero. It turned out to be that of a queen named Nofritari, of the eighteenth dynasty. WHEN thy hand hath done a good act, ask thy heart whether it is well done.--_Fuller._ "THIS IS THE WAY; WALK YE IN IT." (PSALM cxix. 9.) Wherewith shall the inquiring youth Attempt to cleanse his way? This question asked the lips of Truth, And many since that day. The answer's ready for the meek, And easy to be found; No far-fetched knowledge need you seek On false, on foreign ground. Take heed unto your steps, dear friend, The Bible does declare; May you unto God's Word attend With energy and prayer. "Take heed unto thyself," wrote Paul, "And to the doctrines, too"; Young Timothy obeyed the call, And God's salvation knew. Friend, you may study well the law, And try to do your best; Remember, you will have to know This lesson with the rest.
