NEOLITHIC COSMETICS.
NILE DELTA EXCAVATIONS. That the lipstick is as old as human history was proved by excavations in the Nile delta undertaken by an Austrian professor, Herman Junker, not long ago for the Vienna Academy of Science. Among the important discoveries were relics of the Stone Age, including pallcttes for rouge and other instruments of beautification, some of them made of ivory. Numerous finds of flint and stone, like arrowheads, knives and saws, showed that primeval settlers in these districts belonged to the Neolithic culture. The forms of jugs and other receptacles and their ornamentation revealed the same forms as those used by the. Sudan races. Churchyards were unknown.
