Am ong the most interesting treas ures o f the British museum are the clay tablets o f ancient Babylonia. These tablets, resem bling unglazed tiles, throw quaint lights and shad ows on the. manners and customs o f long ago. Usually the record! are fragm entary, but are occasionally fairly com plete, as is that o f legal proceedings instituted by a “ woman o f Borsippa,” which action is o f particular interest as showing thal a married woman’s property law was in force as early as 550 B. C. , The proceedings to which the “ docum ents” refer were taken by a woman against her brother-in-law to regain possession o f property left by her husband. The evidence show ed that a man o f Babylon had mar ried the woman from Borsippa, and with the money o f her dowry he had bought an estate. A fter a few years, having no children o f their own, they adopted a son, and short ly afterward the husband m ortgag ed the estate. Later he died, leav ing the estate m ortgaged, and his brother attempted to claim the property. The widow took the m atter be fore the court at Borsippa, but it was beyond the jurisdiction o f this court and was referred to the high court at Babylon. Here the ease was duly heard, and the judge# ren dered a decision to the effect that as the property had been the hus band’s the widow could have it upon paying off the m ortgage and that the brother had no claim. Eventu ally the estate would be the prop erty o f the adopted son. It is ex pressly stated, as though a m atter o f some interest, that the woman pleaded her own case in the high court o f Babylon without assist ance.— St. Louis Republic. Thay Did Not Know. ' The young woman who reckoned Anon among her favorite authors must have been a sister o f the offi cials o f the French governm ent mentioned by Alexander A. Boddy in “ Td Kairwan the H oly.” The commissioners were sent through Tunisia to ascertain the names o f the rivers, mountains, ruins, and so forth. On the com pletion o f the >map made by the officials it was found that a very large proportion a t places bore the same name— that of Ma’arifsh. It seemed strange and unnatural that so many mountains, rivers and ruins should be called alike. Y et the explorers solemnly assured the authorities that Berber, Zlass and other Arabs had been carefully questioned, and all gave like response. H ie troth was that all the moun tains, rivers and objects were label ed on the map arith the interesting name in Arabic "D on ’t Know” — “ River D on’t Know,” "D on ’ t Know mountains,” “ Oued Ma’arifsh,” “ D jhbel Ma’arifsh.” BATHING A GODDESS. .. Liberty, Atop th* National Capital, Scrubbed Quadrennially. The Goddess o f Liberty, perched upon the capitol at W ashington about one-fifth o f a mile above the ground, is twenty feet high, built o f bronze and weighs 16,000 pounds. Not even the im portance o f the goddess saw s her from the ele ments, and she has to be scrubbed once in about fou r years to keep her from falling to rpin. A t each quadrennial cleaning she is found to be covered with great scales o f oxi dized bronze, to say nothing o f bearing on her person the marks o f hundreds o f strokes o f lightning that have, hit her since the last time she waa washed. A ll seven o f the lightning rods on her shoulders and in her crown are usually com pletely fused and burned away and have to be renewed. Washing the goddess usually takes a week and costs $400 or $500, but painting the dome takes nine or ten tons o f paint and the labor o f thirty or forty men fo r about tw o months. . The dom e has 800,000 square feet o f surface, o r the equivalent o f about eight ordinary city blocks. The work ie dangerous, especially fo r the m en who put up ana move the scaffolding«. The tim bers have to be poked up through a hole just under the. godaees ana put together piece by piece. T he dom e is paint ed from m ovable ladders, and when it cornea to shifting these over one o f the ridges in the ro o f onlookers hold their breath. However, no one has been hurt yet, though there have been several narrow escapes. On one occasion a man slipped at the very fo o t o f the great Goddess o f Liberty and slid downward along the thirty fo o t curve that ends in midair. 'W h e n he stopped his legs were dangling over 300 feet o f space. One o f the men threw him a rope and he clim bed back and went on with his work unconcern edly. The hardest thing to reach is the Indian headdress that the goddess wears instead o f a cap. President Jefferson is responsible fo r this bonnet. He was at the helm o f state when the goddess was cast, and he objected to her liberty cap. “ The liberty cap,” he said, “ was the sym bol o f freedm en, not o f freemen. When a slave became free in those days he assumed the cap. It has no place in the herald ry o f men who were born free. We w ill have none o f it.” W hen asked what, then, the god dess should wear, Jefferson is said to la v e replied, “ The goddess is now an Am erican goddess, and she ought to have a distinctively Amer ican headdress; certainly there is no other so very Am erican as the In dian feather bonnet.” So she waa fitted out with one and placed on high to show the nations o f the w orld what this young country could do when it really tried*—1 Farm and Fireside. Peafowl as Pots. Nature's Spirit Laval. Nature forestalled the invention o f the spirit level. We use nature’s spirit level to retain onr balance. This device consists o f semicircular canals or channels hollowed out in connection with the ear and bones o f the head and filled with a fluid lymph. This fluid flows and ebbs in these channels and by so doing inform s the brain o f the position o f the body. I f we move the head on one side the fluid flows that way and notifies ns that we are far beyond the perpendicular. I f it were not fo r this remarkable spirit level we should never know until we had fallen that the body was tilted to a dangerous angle or that we were losing our balance. MentMsd. The general postoffice at Paris once received a letter addressed “ T o Monsieur, My Son, R u e -------etc. They wfere going to send it to what in France corresponds to onr dead letter office, but a clerk objected. “ There must be tw o fools in that fam ily,” he said. “ W e shall find ont to whom it belongs.” Sure enough, in a few days a stu pid lookiag youth entered and said to the d e n : _ “ I ’d like to find ont i f you haven’t kept here a letter fo r me from my father.” “ Y es, sir,” replied the clerk. "H ere it is.” A Qrsat Favor. “ So yon are the noble youth who plunged into the raging flood and rescued my daughter from a dread ful death r “ Yes, sir.” “ And you have com e to ask ms for a great favor?” “ Y et, sir.” "Y ou have com e to ask me to let you marry my ch ild ?” "N o, sir.

There are few m ore beautiful birds fo r pets than peafow l, and a pair o f them about a place add both beauty and interest. But, as moat people know, there is a reverse to the picture. Both male and fem ale peafow l are m ost destructive neigh bors to a kitchen garden. Given plenty o f space, they are charm ing pots. A lso, from a utilitarian point o f view, they are m ost excellent table fow l. Y oung peafowl have a taste between that o f a capon and a guinea fow l, and as they grow to a fa ir size they are profitable if only aa table birds.

Th* Pisa sf an Aristocratic Beggar la M sales. Even a beggar may have pride— at least in M exico. At a railroad station in that country, says Mr. W. E. C anon in his book “ M exico,” he noticed standing a little removed from the motley throng o f mendi cants a melancholy looking Mexi can wearing a rather battered brown felt som brero, his limbs in cased in skin tight trousers o f thin gray cloth adorned with numerous patches. Over his shoulders was a bright red blanket. He was strum m ing away at an old fashioned man dolin and singing some m ournful Spanish song. Catching sight o f me, he stopped playing and lifted his som brero. I went ont on the car platform and handed him 5 cents. T o my aston ishm ent, he politely declined my humble offering. “ Senor,” said he in choice Span ish, with some em otion, “ yon must pardon me for being unable to ac cept your g ift, bat I am a ten cent beggar, senor, and never, never ac cept a smaller gratuity.” Drawing him self up, with an air o f pride he continued, ‘1 shall be honored to sing fo r yonr entertain m ent a song o f old Spain or one o f out noble Mexican airs, but always fo r a fee o f 10 cents, never fo r less, fo r I am a ten cent beggar, senor, poor as I am.” It was impossible to resist this touching protest; so, with an apol ogy, I handed the courtly vagrant his proper fee, which he acknowl edged with “ a thousand thanks” and a graceful bow. A t the other end o f the car the m ob o f beggars were scram bling fo r copper coins thrown to them by my fellow passengers. The m elancholy m instrel glanced at them, shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand deprecatingly. “ Ah, senor,” he observed, “ those people! They have to work to earn their bread— good folk , worthy folk , well deserting o f your charity— but they give you a vary bad impression o f M exico. Pray, senor, do not class them with poor musicians like m yself.” , W ith these words he commenced twanging his disoerdant instrument again and once more burst in to a song so dismal that it seemed to make the gloom y weather even more depressing. G A t an evening party it waa re marked that nobody could draw two things at once. Sir Edward Land seer, who waa present, replied that he thought he could, and, taking a pencil in each hand, he drew simul taneously and w ithout hesitation w ith the righ t hand the profile o f a stag’s head and all its antlers com plete and with the left hand a love -K ll” In Irish. ly horse’s head.
