The marvelous resurrection of the past
which has resulted from the labors of
the explorer and decipherer often raises
strange problems (or the etudent of soclsl
life in this nineteenth century. Tho vast
amount of literary material recording ev
ery detail of the social life of Chaldea and
Egrps 8,000 yean ago enables us to con
struct a picture of the life of those days
moro coinpleto In Its accuracy than we
can make of that of the manners and cus
toms of our own ancestor* the ancient
Britons. This wealth of material is due,
says W. St.Chad Boscawen In The Queen,
to tho fact that both Egypt and Chaldea
were lands in whloh the profession of the
“man of lettora” was held In the highest
respect, and to hold any social position a
man must be a scribe. This love of let
ters also produced an important change
in ordinary everyday life. In a land
where large numbers of the people were
educated and could read and write It soon
became a recognized axiom In law that
no transaction, howover trivial, was legal
unless it was accompanied by a written
and duly attested record. This being the
can* the number of commercial and legal
document* which were written was enor-
moo* and It Is not surprising tbat the
British museum should possess some thou
sands of these document* extending over
a period from about B. C. 2300 to within
a century of the Christian era. These doc-
nmonts, being essentially, the chronicles
of tho people, naturally give us a wonder
ful picture of the life, manners and cus
toms of those remote agos.

tradition wholly unsupported by any au
thority that at a court ball given by Ed
ward III a lady, aupposed to bo tho Coun
tses of Salisbury, dropped her garter and
the king, taking it up and observing some
of his coorttei* to smile *• though they

There Is another opinion which traces
tha origin ot this order, which, according
to the learned Seldon "exceeds in msjeuty,
honor end famo all tha chivalrous orders
In th* world," to Richard Casur do Lion

expedition during hla wsra In Palestine

other theory ascribes the foundation of the
order to the fact that Edward at the battle
of Crecy iuued hta garter as a signal for
battle, which, proving successful, deter
mined him to Institute the order In mem
ory of tho event.
Both these opinions an to a certain ex

tonified by the well known fact that wtm

Christian army were ordered to wear straps

features of women’s rights In tho times of
tho later Babylonian empire during tho ago
of tho Jowish captivity, B. U. 806-638,
and It wa* evident the rights accorded
them then were no now concessions, but
the result of a long established custom. It
Is now shown by some tablets recently ac
quired by the British museum that these
samo lights were as fully established in
the twenty-third century before our era
as they were in tho days of Nebuchadnez
zar and his successors. These tablets con
tain the records of the trading and legal
transactions of aform whloh bad branohea
in Ur of the Chaldees, Slppara or Sephar-
ralm, Laraa and other cities In the land
of Nimrod when Abraham and his fathers
were still resident In Chaldea.
The first inscription I select Is a small
clay tablet, which furnishes us with In
teresting dstails as to tho lights of two
classes of the female population—the fe
male slave and the wife. The Inscription
reads as follows:
“A female slave named Mutlbaetl,
whom Slnbilanu has presented to his wife.
The sons of Slnbilanu have no right of re
claiming. AU the oblldren whom Mutl-
bastl from this day shaU beer are tbe
property of Saddassu (tho wife). Zlnl-
lkblsa Is also the daughter of Eaddassu."
Hero we havo an extremely Interesting
transaction. The man presents a female
slave to his wife and stipulates that In
caso of his death she shall not be claimed
as part of the estate by Ms sons, bat re
main, together with her daughter bom be
fore her transfor and any future children,
tbe proporty of tho wife. The same of the
wlfo is redolent of tho poetry of tho nge.
for It means "his beloved one,” similar to
ths weU known Egyptian name of llert
or Merit, "the beloved." This tablet in
dicates tbat certain rights were accorded
to the wife ou tbe death of her huBband.
The law* of proporty are very clearly
sot forth. On the death of the husband
the property went to tho wife, probably
tho chief wife, who administered tho es-
tate until tho children came of age. Tho
adult children then could claim their por
tions, that of the elder brother or firstborn
son being twioe as largo as tho others, the
widow also having a double share and a
payment equivalent to her dowry. The
division was usually settled by a “family
council,” presided over by the widow and
tho eldest son, but if an agreement could
not be arrived at tho property was thrown
Into tho court of chancery of those days—
namoly, the treasury of the local temple—
and division made by the priests, a por
tion, as costs, no doubt being given to the
treasury of the god.
Even in those remote days women were
extensively engaged in commercial life,
though, I am sorry to say, usually In tho
alavo trade. There Is one dooumont In
tho series in which all parties, vender,
purchaser, chattel (female slave) and the
witnesses, are women, the only men being
the scribes who wrote the deeds.
Wealthy women seem to have done a
considerable business In leasing outslaves
for stated period-, of hire, and I may quota
ono example: "A slave, named .Mar-SIp-
par, whom Mardnk Naxlr, from Munaplr-
tu, hla mother, has leased for ono year.
The money for the year shall be 2X shekel*
of silver. For wages, (to the slave) one-
half shekel of silver he shall pay.”
In Babylonia, as among tbe Hebrew
people, It was tbe groat doelre of the wife
to bear a male child, and the tablet! be-
' TH03E DREADED DRAFTS.
Hovr They Ara Caused and Avoided In
Window Tight Booms.
Several years ago In tho fall of the year
I was sick for wocks, and when at last I
was able to sit up I sat in my sitting
room, which faced tho northwest, daring
tbe daytime, and wishing to see tbe pass
ing I had my place near a large window.
Tbe room had an open grate, also furnace
beat, and the thermometer easily register
ed 70 to 76 degrees, but with all this
warmth thsra was a draft, as I thought, on
on my bead and neck.
Every one raid the cold air Game In at
tho window sash. I rant for the weather
strip man, and of conns ha discovered, cr
thought he did, tha cause and put on hl3
rubber molding so that the sash when
closed was tight
"Now," he rays, "you wiU have no
more trouble In that direction.”
The next cold snap the samo old galo of
wind appeared. When my doctor came In,
I spoke to him In regard to It, when ho
Informed me that It was not tho cold air
from outside that I felt but tbe warm air
of tbe room, which went to the top of tho
window, struck the oold glass, cooled and
then "fell down” as the oold air would
bad not tho casing been airtight He then
said, “Drop yonr curtain about ane-thlrd
and keep it there.”
I did as he directed, and the galo stop
ped, and I had no trouble after that. He
told mo that the same trouble existed in
most houses, even those that were well
heated In tbe halls and bedrooms, the heat
going to tbe top, cooling and falling baok,
so that one coming from a warm room
down stairs and going up would often
think that there must be windows open
above. Of course double windows would
remedy this cooling oil process In the
rooms, bnt with the curtains down a little
they prevent the instant ooollng of tha
warm air, and there Is your draft.
You will notice that those “drafts”
are about during the day more than at
night and always less In tho room wliors
there Is a lamp. Why? Simply when yon
light your lamps or the gas yoil draw
down tho shades, nnd the heat does not
strike tho cold glass.--Boston Transcript.

fur* u* show tbat there was many a pray
er like tbat of Hannah offered In tbe tarn-
pies of Chaldea 6,000 years ago. To meet
tha difficulty of succession extensive re
sort was made to the custom of adoption
a careful oode of laws with regard to
which had been formulated at a very early
period. Adopted children were usually
Infanta of tender age, as, according to the
law, the man was bound toprovlds a “wet
nurse” and at a later period to clotbeand
eduate the child, giving him a deed of
adoption duly attested In the temple. I
will quote one of these deeds aa an exam
ple: “Mar-Istar, son of Iltanl and Nadln-
at-sin. Iltanl and Nadinat-Sin adopted
to aonshlp. When Mar-Istar to hla father
and hla mother says, ’Ye are not my fa
ther or my mothor,’they ahall sell him
for allver (at a slave). But whan st any
time Iltanl and Nadlnnt-Sln ahall say,
‘Thon art not oar son,’ he shall take and
carry away hla portion like tha other chil
dren of (tho parenta)."
It Is curious In all these deed* that ths
name of tho mother is always mentioned
first. This Is, of course, a survival of the
ancient law of matriarchy current In
Kgypt and Chaldea, when the descent waa
traced through the mother and not the fa
ther. If a son denied hla adopted fatter,
ha was, according to tho law, to be "brand
ed on tho face, chained and sold aa a
but if be dc’ti^d his mother bo wos
branded aud drlvea away from tho house
and town.
