DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he ca do till he tries. When a thing ought to be done the modern spirit moves us to keep working away at it until it is done. In the face of this idea the "impossible" vanishes. Where there's a will, there's a way. "If we could but rob cod liver dil of its sickening tas and smell and then combine it with two or three other ingredients we should possess the best remedy in the world for certain diseases that are now practically incurable.". So said a famous English physi. cian twenty-five years ago "But it will never be done," he added, You can no more tur cod liver oil into a pleasant palatable medicine, than you can turn the Codfi h.itself into a Bird of Paradise.". Yet he lived to admit that in

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION the "impossible "had been accomplished. It

is palatable as honey and contains all the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Ced Liver Oil, extracted hy as from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites, Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherr. This remedy is freed from the bad peculiaritics Dr. Frothingham so detested, and it is precisely the splendid medicine he wished for. Use it freely and confidently for Anemia, llysteria, Wasting Complaints, Blood Impuri. ties, Asthma, and Throat and Lung Troubles, Dr. W. II, B. Aikins, F. R. C. P., London, M. D. C. M., Victoria University.-M. B. Toronto University,-Consulting Physician to Home for Incurables, Physician to Toranto General Hospital, says: "1 am much pleased to state that the results from using Wampole's Preparation of, Cod Liver Oil have been uniformly satisfactory; it appealed to me as being prepared according to correct scien- tific principles." It increases the appetite and influences the digestion of food; it is delicious to take, will not disappoint you and is effective from the first dose. It represents the dawn of progress." At chemists everywhere.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN

EGYPT.

GREATEST EVER made.

ROMANTIC STORY,

THE ROYAL TREASURES OF THE 18TH

DYNASTY.

Egypt has once more surprised us with an archeological discovery of the first importance, writes a correspondent to the Times. Mr. Theodore M. Davis, whose discovery of the tombs of Thothmes IV. and Queen Hatshepsu at Thebes has already been described, has been patiently pursuing his work of removing, the mounds of debris in the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings, and has just made a discovery there such as has not fallen to the lot of any explorer since Egypt was opened to European research. He has found a tomb which has never been visited or plundered since the age of the 18th Dynasty, and is still filled with the

hotep 111, was still on the throne and the wealth and power of Egypt were still undiminished. Queen Teié, with all her influence, had been unable to overcome the jealousy of the Egyp tian aristocracy and include her parents in its ranks, but she revenged herself at their death by giving them the honours of a Royal funeral.

Beyond the coffins, at the western end of the tomb, the ground was covered with large

sealed jars of wine or oil, and shell-like boxes of black-painted wood, each of which contained a piece of cooked meat, neatly wrapped in black muslin. Planted on the top of them was the chariot, brand enough to hold two persons, richly painted and encrusted with gold. The leather-work belonging to it is still as fresh us when it was first made. Here also were found the four canopic jars of alabaster in which the entrails of the deceased were deposited. It would be difficult to match them as regards either size or fineness of workmanship. The heads which form their covers are in the best style of: Egyptian ari̟ and on being lifted were found to have under them a second set of heads, the latter being of plaster coated with gold. At the eastern end

of the tomb two other alabaster vases were

On Sunday, February 12, his workmen came across the descending steps of a tomb, midway hetween the well-known sepulchres of Ramses IV. and Kamses XII. At the foot of the steps was a door cut in the rock and blocked with farge stones. One or two of these having been removed, a boy was sent through the opening, and quickly emerged with a gaily-painted wand of office in one hand and the yoke of a chariot, thickly plated with gold, in the other. The opening was thereupon widened, and Mr. Davis himself stepped into the space beyond. There he found himself at the head of another fight of rock-cut steps, 20 in number, at the end of which was a second door, also blocked with stone. Here, however, the outer face of the stones was still plastered with the mud on which were impressions of a Royal seal, with rows of fettered captives, while on one of the lower steps the two basins of coarse red ware were lying out of which the mud plaster had been taken. Higher up, on one of the steps, was a superb pectoral scarab, while on another step was a broken writing palette of alabaster. It was evident that the tomb had been entered

by robbers shortly after its construction; that, having been surprised in their work of plunder, they had fled hastily, leaving some of the ob jects they had stolen in the vestibule; and that since that day it had never again. been visited by man.

Professor Maspero, who happened to be at Luxor at the time, was at once communicated with, as well as other museum authorities, and,
