I What Is said to he the oldest known Ifritten code of laws In the world, [probably antedating that of Ilnnimur j?bl by at least 1.0Q0 years, has been discovered In part among the hitherto Untranslated clay tablets from Nippur at the University of Pennsylvania tnu K?um. The ifammurald code was prepared about 2HK) H. (*.. and was discovered about 20 years ago on a large dlorlte ?tooe by Freneh explorers. The laws. Just translated by Ahbe Scheii of Paris, deal with responsibili ties of hired servants, rentals, rights of slave women who have borne chil dren to their masters, punishment for adultery, etc. 1 One Interesting statute provides that rentals must run for three years in case a man has taken over a house the owner does not know how to man age. This Is somewhat obscure and may mean that all rentals were for that term. In any event property could not be idle or be Improperly osed. Incase a slave bore' children to her master slie and the offspring were frre. and if the master married the ilave the eldldren became legitimate. ? Indian Is Mode' Soldier.

Something told Masle that this man was not a habitue of the automat. His woll-eut cjothgs. his deliberately turned uptstacho and Ids nicely mant cyred hands; proclaimed him "differ euKM All of a auddcii&^he" was glad her now straw hat was so becoming and that the floor waller at Tuppen's had given her an extra half hour for lunch. And because It was June she smiled faintly at the young man. "1 say," lie removed the bottle of cut sup from between them and leaned eagerly forward, "You dort't look as If you belongud In this 5-ceut place, I'll wagef tlun tlm head waiter at the I'luxa Is reserving a table by the win dow for your at this minute. What's tho answer? Out for experience ? to see how the other half lives?" Temptation nudged Masle C,*n I In gher's elbow an<9 came and ensconced Itself In hor bosom, aided and abetted by her vivid Imagination and an as siduous reading of the novels of one Robert Chambers, tthe succumbed. "I'm sorry I show It so plainly," she sajd to the young man with a depre eating air. "We are spending a few days at the Plfl,fca before our usual summer at Newport." And, with her elbows on the table, rather confiden tially. "I've always wanted to see the Inside of <hls place, you know. The cakes and omelettes they have In the window look, so perfectly entrancing as I go by in the motor. If I hadn't been afraid of shocking the chauffeur I'd have stopped long ago. Hut we've packed him olT to the1 country, so I seized today's opportunity." They smiled delightedly Into each other's eyes, and then Masle said : "But what about you? What are you doing here?" / "The same thing," hev*eplledt.ctvlng his mustache a deliberate caress with his beautiful hands. "I'm stopping at tlje club over on Fifty-First street, see ing the same fellows, eating the same rich food day after day. until I am sick to -death of It. Beastly bore living at" the club? but the ranter Is out of town, off on a motor trip, and the house Is shut up tight as a drum ? so there was nothing else to be done. I'm mightily glad I decided to give' my self a contrast at t he automat today ? mighty glad !" "Isn't It funny we've never met be fore," 1m* < ??rit iniiecj. making a mental note of the blush. "Well ? not really." replied Masle shamelessly. "You see. fre don't go out soetaHy atalh My father is fW most terrific old autocrat In New York and he says that Paris and Rome are the only places he will allow me to go out In. So, of course, I have missed all l he nice things here." And then, because life always mixes the bitter with the sweet, the big white clock on the wall of the auto mat forced itself into Masle's line of vision. One thirty! Gracious, In 15 minutes she would be due behind the ribbon counter at Tuppen's. She rose. "I had no Idda It was so late." she said. "I have a fitting at Tuppen's which 1 must not miss. "So glad to have met you," she purred. "But you haven't told me your name." exclaimed the young man, hold ing on to the little hand, determina tion in his admiring eyes. "1 must see you again, you know." "I'm sorry," said Masie Gallagher, daughter of Tim Gallagher, of the New York police force, "but it's better not. Father would Insist on knowing where I had met you and there would be a" awful row. Goodby" ? and, with a heartfelt resentment at the station In life to which it had pleased God to call her, Masle made her way back to the ribbon counter. That delicate, aristo cratic mustache burned her memory. She sold five yards of blue ribbon to a plump old lady who wanted It "charged and taken." "Just a minute, ptease," requested Masie listlessly, her mind fur nway, **t li e floor walker must sign for It." And she Cried fibril 1 and loud: "Mr. Foster! Mr. Fo*-ter!u "For Pete's sake. Masle," said Clara Oppenhelm. who also sold ribbons at Tuppen's department store. "Don't you ! know Foster's gone. There's a new man ? Mr. I'ldceon." "Mr. Pld-geon ! Mr. Pld-geon !" she shrilled. "Right here." said a fam'llnr. care fully nindulnte'l voire Is her ear. .Ma sle was looking into the aristi>eratlc fare nf the tnnn at the automat. "Good Lord !

Man, at 84, It AIM Renewing Hie Youth and Vigor In Other Ways. ?i The adage that there Is nothing new under the ami had been disproved by N. D, Starr, who has cut a third sot of tedth at the age of eighty-four, when tiNuttlly the only new molars, bicuspids, etc.; that can be achieved are those purchased from a dentist, says the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Mr. Stun# who U In the etnpl<).v of the Memphis Artesian Water coitifiany. recently found himself In need of a set of these artificial substitutes for the teeth provided by nature. lint when he visited his dentist the price Was too high and he decidod to go toothless. However, through OIJi? pi til*'- imiir couui>iiii?> hftjp'p&nlng* which some times upsets ail rules, Mr. Starr dis covered that he was cutting 12 new teeth. They are almost through now, although they are not very useful yet. owing to the fact tlmt his gums are sorely a fashion familiar to nil moth ers of teething Infauts or to boys and girls whose second teeth are replacing their baby teeth, and even the older boys' and girls who proudly announce: "I'm cutting n wisdom tooth." Dentists doubtless will contend that such a thing eannot happen. Hut Mr. Starr knows that ho now has teeth where no teeth were before. More over, he says his eyesight Is better than It was several years ago. and that so far from his vigor being Im paired by advancing years he feels stronger and more youthful than he did when he was seventy. TELL OF BABYLONIAN LIFE Interesting Revelation* In Clay Tablets That Were "Written" On Some Forty Centuries Ago. The University of South Dakota at Vermillion has come Into possession of 81 genuine Babylonian tablets, dis covered by Arabs In the ruins of bur led cities and collected at Bagdad. They have been deciphered by Dr. Edgar J. Banks of Alpine, N. ,1.. an authority on these clay and brick rec ords of 4, (XX> years ago, and their authenticity proved. Fully half of the tablets In this collection are perfect nnd ail of them are legible. They are only a few Inches in sl/.e and were written on when they were soft clay, later being dried, or baked. Most of them are of about the date 2350 B. C.. a few going as far back as 28<X) B. C., and others dating from the time of the fall of Babylon before tho Per sians. In 538 B. C. The most valuable tablet of the collection is a letter. Holes were made through it so that It might be attached to a cord ami carried In this way. Next in point of value and Interest are a number of neo-Bnhylonlnn tablets of' sumlrfed clay containing business contracts of all sorts and giving pictures of the life of the people after the Persian conquest. Of special interest is a small tablet of exercises in writing, done by some boy In "the temple sci.jol over 40 centuries ago. Iceberg Acrobat. The sighting of ;i fleet of 11 icebergs, one with somersaulting tendencies, was reported by Capt. W. II. Flem mlng recently on the arrival here of 11ie~s tea msblp M una Ires from Kotter datn. The bergs were seen about 750 miles east of Halifax. One of them, said Capt. Flemmlng, suddenly rolled over with u splash. As It tumbled, a large piece from the top was broken off, causing the berg to take a second tum ble. As it was righting, another sec tion broke off, and for the third time > the berg Aimed over. It was about a mile astern of the vessel. ? New York World. V ? ? ? ? ? A Good Catch. It Is Impossible to repress a feeling of satisfaction over the feat of the Atlantic City game warden, who ap prehended the owner of a seaplane guilty of shooting wild geese In the air. The law against this sort of "sport" Is strict, nnd the penalty pro vided for offenders Is ample. And, as bird shooting from the air Is on a plane with the use of dynamite and seines In closed waters, the more rig idly the statute is enforced the better. Any leniency would be disastrous to the bird life of the country and calam itous to the United States. ? Detroit Free Press.
