OLDEST LOVE LETTER FOUND
Modern Scientist Declares It to Have
Been Written About the Time
of Abraham.
.The oldest love letter In the world
has been found and rend by eyes for
which It never was Intended. Dr.
Stephen Herbert Lnngdon, Museum of
Art and Sciences, University of Penn
sylvania, was the man to find this
billet donx, written on a tablet of clay
about the time of Abraham. He also
has brought to life what is said to be
the oldest mnp !n existence, drnwn
about 1500 B. C. or another tablet of
ciity. ;
Here is the letter, which, sad to re
late. Is partly selfish:
"To Kaka and Mlrslla say:
"Thus snlth Sln-maglr.
"May the Sun-dog give you good
health.
"How is this business?
"For a whole month you have not
sent anybody to ask about my welfare.
- "Now I direct Shamasheplrl unto
you.
"Send mc 30 pints of barley meal
and ten pints of bean flour.
"I am In trouble.
"Give quickly.
What you send deduct from your
tithes.
"As to the rest, send it according to
future Instructions."
Evidently the writer was fond of
both Kaka and Mlrslla, two sisters. Al
though the letter could scarcely be
called affectionate, as the present gen
eration understands the word, Its
translator assures us thnt It is a bona
fide cross-your-heart love letter.
The map found by Doctor Lnngdon
was of Babylonian origin and Indicates
a supposedly suburban district Joined
together, by canals. Rehoboth Sunday

NO TRUTH IN TRADITION
Old Legend of the Drowning of Prin
cess in Petrograd Fortress Proved
to Be Without Foundation.
The fortress of SS. Peter and Paul,
In Petrograd, has an evil reputation
as the former place of Imprisonment
of ninny of Russia's Idealists, Includ
ing Prince Kropotkln and Madame
Breshkorsky J but one blot on its
'scutcheon Is removed by on Illustrated
article In the London Sphere. The
article reproduces a painting by the
Russian artist Flnvltsky, showing a
beautiful woman standing on her bed
In a cell In this prison, seeking to es
cape ihe rising waters of a flood that
threatens her life. This was the Prin
cess Tnrnkanova, who had Incurred
the enmity of Catherine the Great. The
tradition Is thnt she was drowned, by
order of the pmpress, during the In
undation of 1777. The Sphere, how
ever, shows that she died of tuberculo
sis two years before the flood swept
through the fortress. Thus this gloomy,
prison and the great empress are re
lieved of oue of the tragedies with
which they have been associated.
The Outlook.
In Praise of Muslo.
Music adds nothing but good; sub
tracts the evil; multiplies that which
we already have; discounts our ali
ments and compounds all of our Inter
est. If you believe this Is true, "push"
music. Aid the choir, choral and or
chestral societies. Sympathize with
and In every way support public
school music.
A foreign traveler In our country
said he was deeply impressed with our
silences. He heard no reapers sing
ing In the field, he heard many a bird
carol, but no human songs. That re
minds me of the old saying: "Blessed
Is the man who sings at his work."
Take an interest In creating a musi
cal atmosphere In tlje home, and soon
America will be singing and we shall
be able to take In music not only by
the small channel of the ear, but
through every pore of our bodies
straight to the root of our souls. The
Musician.

National Prayer Days.
The first time the people of the Unit
ed States were called upon to observe
a day of national prayer was May 9,
1708, by proclamation of President
John Adams. A controversy bad aris
en between this country and France
and all Americans were called upon
to pray for a continuation of peace.
In 1815, when the United States was
about to make war on Algiers, Pres
ident Madison proclaimed a day of
prayer. During , ,the Civil war three
presidential proclamations wore issued
appointing days of prayer for peace.
In 1R05 the authorities called upon the
people to pray for Lincoln, and In 1881
President Arthur proclaimed a day of
prayer to mark the burial of President
Garfield. In the autumn of 1014 Pres
ident Wilson Issued his proclamation
for prayers on "Peace Sundays."
Shoveling Out Gas.
Weighing considerably more than
tho atmosphere, the poisonous gases
employed In modern warfare always
seek lower levels. Thus the gas clouds
penetrate trenches and deep dugouts,
and In most cases It Is a matter of
many hours before they become suffi
ciently diluted with the atmosphere to
penult of safe breathing. So the mnt
ter resolves Itself Into a problem of
driving the poisonous fumes out of
the trenches and underground slieltew,
or .at least thinning thera out until
the air is again made safe.
For this reason American soldiers
now in France literally "shovel" poi
sonous fumes out of their trenches.
Attached to a shovel Is a Bort of can
vas scoop or "flapper" which permits
the men to heave the heavy gases over
the purapets and beat the fumes and
dissipate them In the surrounding
Dir. Scientific American.
Not Dangerous.
"While you were out west did you
meet with any typical bad men?"
"I should say so ! I spent a week In
a camp full of the toughest customers
you ever saw real cowboys who spent
most of their time firing pistols and
careering on their bronchos at break
neck speed."
"Didn't yoa tremble for your lifer
"I was a trifle uneasy at first, but
when I saw how a motion picture di
rector bullied those fellows I plucked
up considerable courage."
