Farming in Chaldea Hie Year 2100. B. C. In thc wonderful resurrection of the iongburicd past which has resulted from thc explorations in Kgypl and Chaldea, especially, in. the latter, no phase of life seems likely to remain untouched. Trado and com merce arc represented by thousands of contract tablets extending back to a period of more than thirty centuries before our era. Law may bc studied from the contemporary records of all ages; and the new collection now on exhibition in thc Babylonian room of | thc British museum-deals with a most ; important and interesting section of national life. Herodotus Strabo and other classi cal writers have testified to thc im mense fertility of the Mesopotamian Talley, where cereals yielded a hun dred fold increase, it was, we know, the granary of the Persian empire, but it was little imagined that there would be rescued from ruins of a Chaldean city the complete records and statis tics of a board of inland revenue and agriculture, which organized the affairs of the State at as remote an age as 2400 B. C. A few years ago the trustees of the British mus?um obtained a collection of several thousand tablets, ia won derful preservation, which related to the fiscal affairs of southern Chaldea, under the rule of the second dynasty of Ur, and tho perfectly organized system which they reveal is indeed astonishing. The tablets come from Sirpurra-the modern Tolo, on tho Shut el Hie-which seems to have been the center of local government. At the period to which those docu ments belong Babylonia vas oovered by a vast network of main and irriga tion canals, bordered by rich and fer tile fields. The revenue to support thc State and the temples was collect ed in kind and necessitated an organ ized bureau of officials. This we know to have existed from far earlier times, anu the inscription of Manishtisu, dating from at least 4000 B. C., which was found at Susa, and the contract tablets of Sargon I, 3800 B. C., now in thc Imperial museum at Constantino ple, mention both "surveyors" and "tax collectors." The first essential of a system of taxation was an accurate survey and valuation of thc land, and this we see had been completed. From the inscription of Manishtisu, tho oldest km,wu commercial record, wo havo an illustration of this value of land by corn value. A field of of 3,834 feddan has a corn value of 1,278 quarters; the money value is obtained by estimating the corn at one shekel a quarter and the price of the land is, therefore, "3 talents 33 mana." The most interesting feature of the large account tablets dealing with the corn revenue hero exhibited ia the wonderful aoonracy of the book keeping. Somo of tho large tablets contain summations of hundreds of thouBcm'a of quarters and calculations of minute fraotions, yet the errors are very few indeed. The large account tablets are care fully dated and attested with the names of the collectors. Thus we read: "The account and return of the Ur Lamassu, of tho Temple of Nin gi r su, overseer. * * * From tho month of Airu to tho month Nisan, for 13 months in tho year, when Kharsi and Khumurti were spoiled." A word must bo said as to thc calen dar in use. It was essentially a farm er's calendar, having the months named, "Month of corn raising," "Corn cutting," "The month when the fields are bright," "The month when tho cattle arc in tho open," "Tho month of sowing." Next to tho tablets relating to thc corn crop of thc land the most import GET UR i That's the morning call of Chanticleer. It's a welcome cry tc t? well man.

Some times we have tho en try of dead or missing, but in "very case thc accounts arc most accurately kept. A word must bc said as to labor, for many of thc tablets contain lists of men employed on tho farms and estates. They were supplied with food and paid a small wage. Thus we read in avery old inscription : "These are thc men to whom he shall give food and silver." To some of the workmen clothes-loin clothes-were supplied, and thc lists of tools seem to show that they belonged to the masters. As to thc trades mentioned in these and other tablets we-find mil lers, bakers, smiths, barbers, carpen ters, as well as merchants, scribes and surveyors. To the student of laud laws and agriculture in India, Arabia and Palestine, these records are indeed priceless.- It should be added that the authorities have not been content with exhibiting these treasures, as all of the best specimens have been facsimiled by Mr. Leonard King, the senior assistant of thc department, and thus rendered accessible to Assy rian students. - London Standard. Why Women don't get Rich. Nearly every woman wants to be rich, but she has vague ideas of how she should go about making money. She reads in some newspaper about some woman who has been successful in stock operations, ?nd tho first sparc cash she gets sheiuvestsin stock witb some curbstone broker. Ninety-nine times out of every hundred she loses her savings. Then she's discouraged and believes tb ?t it's not poasible foi women to make money. She resign; herself to keeping house for thc rest of her life, and her career as a capi talist is ended. This woman went about her task ii the wrong way, and so does nearly evory other woman who starts out t< become rieb. ThoBe men wko sa; that not one woman ie ten has tb money-making instinct are very nearl. right. Women like to spend moue; but they don't ko*w how to make U If they could become rich in a day, o a month, all would try, but tbey oat never make up their minds to wer! years to accumulate a fortuno as mei do. Women would muoh rather spem than earn. And beoansa women apeud so much they are hardly ever is the field fo investing when the ohanoe come along. No person can invest enies he has tho wherewithal. Most grea fortunes have been started by me who saved and saved and lavec and finaily hada few hundred or a fei thousaud dollars to invest whenevc the opportunity should come. Thei are many women who carn good salt rios, and who might lay by a few hui dred dollars a year, if they were s minded. But that is not the way < women. They spend every oeut the make, and in most cases have the monthly salary all spent before it's i their hands. As long as women wot save, wo'ro not likely to have marj women millionaires in this countr; Sometimes there's a woman Wb really wants to increase her fortun but she soon realizes that conditio! are against her. A woman hasn't as many chances for making money i men have. Ske isn't around men, i rule-, and she doesn't hear of the o portunitics for investment which a talked of, day by day, in Wall stro and other financial centres. SI wants to buy stocks; she bas saved i a few hundreds to invest, but si doesn't know how to go about i Most women aro afraid to venture in the regions where man reigns suprem This is a foolish timidity, for a w man can get along as well as a maa any office, if she only conducts horst properly and looks out for herself, am able to manage my affairs bett than any man oould manage them; ai what man has done woman caa d If I had let other people do my bui ness fort me, I most likely wouldi have had any business to do now ai it is the duty of every woman, I b lievo, to learn to take care of ber oi business affairs.-Mrs. Hetty G rei In may oitcce**. - Tho Sandwich islanders ostini: women by their weight.

Duonoll, employee of the Springfield Glazed Paper Company, ha s recently secured a patent for a novel railroad tic. Thia in composed entirely of leather, ground into pulp and treated by a process similar to that with which pulp is treated to make it into paper and cardboard. After undergoing this process the leather is treated chemically to make it impenetrable by water. It ia then cut into strips thc width and thick ness of the tic, and many of these parts arc put together to make the length of the tic. These parts are pressed together under an immense pressure, which makes the tie a per fectly solid mass of leather. Mr. hun nell proposes to make the tic en tirely of waste leather, old shoes and the like, making 'be expenso but a trille larger than for a wooden tie. Thc average wooden tie costs about 75 cents and its durability is about eight years. It is said that thc leath er tic will stand thc weather and wear for from twenty to thirty years with out replacing. Mr. Donnell claims for his invention that it has all the elasticity of wood, will hold a spike as well as wood, if not bettor, and will not rot. Another advantage is its uniformity in size/ making it possible to replace it with comparatively small labor and expense.

Milk As a Food. Milk is the most perfect human food known, and absolutely necessary for infants as well as the young of all mamalian animals. It ia nature's food, aud cannot be superceded by any artificial combination of nutriments. t A very large percentage of infants must bo nourished by milk other than that of their mothers. This is espec ially the case in "high life,'' as it is often called. Among ultra fashiona ble people, or those of luxurious hab its, nursing their offspring is an in convenience that is largely avoided, and thc "motherless" babes must be nourished with thc milk of animals. In cities, especially, hundreds of these unfortunate innocents die every year from malnutrition-lack of milk, or from tho use of adulterated milk-and little effective effort is made to pro tect thc babies from suoh imposition. Milk is an important article of food for all classes-almost indispensable, but ia large cities is less than half a pint daily to each inhabitant. At prevail ing prioes milk is one of our cheapest foods, as it furnishes more actual nu triment for the money than any othar animal product. A quart of milk weighing 2.2 pounds contains as much nutriment as IS ounces of best sirloin beef. The milk costs five cents, and the beef fifteen cents. Besides this, there is the labor and coat of prepar ing the beef and tbe waete, whiob ia considerable. The milk is ready for uso without preparation and without waste. The difference is very nearly 3.5 to 1 in favor of milk. It is evident that the people should have more milk, and that special effort upon the part of government should be made to secure to the people, especially in fants, pure milk. Beware of a Cough. A cough is not a disease but a sym tom. Consumption and bronchitis, whioh are the most dangerous and fa tal diseases, have for their first indi cation a persistent cough, and if pro perly treated as soon as this cough appears are easily cured.

U CIIUCUVB Ul tho beneficent operation of such in stitutions, because, a? explained, the price of the natural product it controls is lower now than wheo it was organ ized and began business; and we have heard intelligent men, with no par ticular leanings tomonoply, express themselves to that effect. Tho New York World prints some information that will enable them to form a sound er judgment. Thc Standard Oil directors, it is noted, declared in Mardi a dividend of 20 per cent and have just declared another of 12 per cent-which means that in the first four months of 11)01 they have divided profits of $32,000, 000 on their $100.000.000 of alleged invested capital. Thc company, it is seen, is fairly well compensated forits work as a public benefactor. The record of monopoly is more in teresting and instructive for its benefi ciaries-the public it serves-when more of it is taken into the view. Up to June, 1899, not quito two years ago, the capital of the concern was only $10,000,000-00 which sum it had been paying for eight years divi dends rauging from 12 to 33 per cent per annum. In that month its capi talization was increased, "by a 3troke or the pen," to $100,000,000 of oom mon stock and $10,000,000 of preferred stock, and it has since paid, in two years, on the new capitalization-nine tenths "water"-$113,000,000in divi dends. It was a very handsome profit, of course, being something over 100 per cent, when reckoned on the basis of the inflated capitalization of $110, 000,000. But it was really better than that. If the original capitaliza tion of $10,000,000 has been retained, it is shown, the dividends deolared upon it in the two years would have been 333 per cent in 1899, 480 per cent in 1900, and 320 per cent in tue first four months of 1901-with eight months yet to be heard from. Those more or less thoughtful peo ple, as the World suggests who hug the delusion that the monopoly has "immensely cheapened tho price of oil" to them may consider the ques tion how much cheaper it would be if the profitB of the couccrn were say, 7 per cent instead of 480 percent a year on its actual capital.-i\reu?? and Cou rier. Don't Write Sentimental Letters. Dority Dix has written some very worldly-wise words on the subject of ultra-8entimentalism among girls. The advice sounds somewhat calcu lating, but it has muoh of truth in it. "If you have formed the sentiment al lotter-writing habit," abe says, "atop it right now. "Never write another one. Never write a man how much you love'him, or oall him pet namea until after you are married to him, and then you want tO; and you will ha safe, for you will know that it ia always better to keep something in reserve. If you feel so sentimental you are bound to to gush, write it out and burn it your self. Then you will know it has been destroyed; but don't trust Henry Adolphous to do it. Ho might show it to that hateful Smith girl, who was your rival; he might hand it around ao that the office boy and the other clerks would have fun with it. "Besides it is not certain you will marry Adolphous. Always keep one eye on the future man. I have known more than one promising affair broken off by an old love letter turning up inopportunely. Never send a letter to a mao until you have kept it twen ty-four hours io tho ice box, and are certain it is properly chilled. "In one of Miss Braddon's most de lightful stories tho heroine is a great flirt. 'I have said all things to ali men,' she saya with virtuous self-com mendation, 'but, thank heaven, there isn't a scratch of my handwriting in thc length and bre dth of England.' I commend her example to all girls. Say what you please, butdon't gush on paper.

New York, May 21.-At the an nual meeting of the American Insti tute of Electrical Engineers held here to-night Arthur KennoUy, ex-presi dent of the Institute, read a techni cal paper on a new storage Lattery invented and perfected by Thomas A. Edison. From thia report and from the dis cussion thereon by the members of the institute, which followed, it would seem that the new invention is of great interest, scientifically, mechani cally and chemically. It has, as yet, not been applied to commercial UBO. According to Dr. Keonelly's report ' Edison claims that, weight for weight, size and cost being equal, thc new storage battery will de about two and one-half times as much work as thc present battery of commerce. Aa au illustration, it is claimed that where an automobile will run fifty miles, with the new Edison batteries the same veb'cle '.vi!! ruc ?tboii* one h**cdrcd and twenty-five miles. The fact that thc cell and plates of this new bat tery are made of steel is a departure long sought for. - mt .#> mm A Modern Solomon. Police Justice John J. Mahoney, of Chicago, gave a good reproduction of of the judgment of Solomon not long ago. Two Germans had each other arrested on the charge of stealing a fine dachshund whioh they both claim ed. "That dog is mine!' said one. "I wouldn't take $100 for him." "He's mine," said the other. "I think more of that dog than I do of one of my children." i "One of you is mistaken," said the judge. "I oannot decide this matter. I will settle it by letting a policeman take the dog out and shoot bim." "All right," said one of the claim ants, waving his fist in the face of the other man. "Just so you don't get kim." "No, don't kill tho dog," shouted the other man. "He's too nice a dog to be ruthlessly shot. Let the other man have him; only I hope, your Honor, that you will make a stipula tion that he treats him right." "Tho dog is yours," said the judge to the second man.
