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.

Tho origin of the Order of the Golden Fleece Is like that of tho Garter, shrouded In mystery. Very few modern archreclo gists attach any credenco to the vulgar 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 thought ho had not obtained this favor merely by Accident, exclaimed In a loud voice, "Houi solt qui mal y pens*." 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 bating upon the occasion of some warllko expedition during hla wsra In Palestine chosen a leathern thonged garter ss the dlstlnctlvo mark of hi* partisans Yet an 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 tent feasible, and the first la materially tonified by the well known fact that wtm the crusader* csplured Sc Jean d’Acre In a nocturnal araault the knlghu of tha Christian army were ordered to wear straps of white leather bound round the leg un der the left knee In order to distinguish them from the infidels.—PhUedelphl* Press.

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. Some Hinds. "One of the bookmakers made eevera) thousand dollars,” remarked the young man who had been to the races. “And yet," exolaimed bis aunt, “soma people tell us thatliteraturedoeen't pay.” —Washington Star. 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.
