Several interesting Babylonian texts
Of very great antiquity are recorded in
Smiths Assyrian Discoveries. Among
them is land-boundary stone of the
Merodach Baladan l., about 1900 B. c.,
containing on one side emblems of the
gods, and on the other a deed of the land
in'question, probably the Oldest title
deed in existence. After the descrip-
ton of the land, and the recital of the
conditions of the transfer, the inscrip-
ton invOkes the penalties on any one
who shall remove the landmark: ''If a
a ruler or enuch or a citizen, the me-
mortal stone of this ground takes and
destroys, in place where it cannot be
seen to any where shall place it in, and
this stone tablet if RdkG or brother, or
kata or a :. or an evil one, or an
enemy, or any other person, or the son
of the owner of this land, shall act
falsely, and shall destroy it, into the
water or into the fire, shall throw it,
with stone shall break it, from the
hand of Maraduk-Zakir-izk (the
grantee), and his seed shall take it away
and above or below shall send it. The
gods, Anu, Bel and Hea, Ninip and
Gula, these lords and all these gods on
this stone tablet whose emblems are
seen, violently may they destroy his
name. A curse unmitigated may they
curse over him, calamity may they
bring upon him. May his seed be swept
away in evil, and not i'm good, and in
the day of departing life may he expire
and Shanias and Merodaeh tear him
and may none MOURN for him.

A Million Dollar Hdmmer.-A German
paper informs us the famous steel
works of Frederick Krupp, of Essen,
are about TO receive very important
addition TO their machinery. The lar
gest steam hammer in use at these
works, at the present time, is one ca
pable of working mass of steel 80 tuns
in weight, and erected at a cost OF $500,
900. 1t is now in contemplation to
build new steam hammer capable of
beating up mass of steel of double the
weight, namely, 100 tuns. The new
machine, it is estimated. will cost 81,
O00, 900, and will be most powerful IN
the world; and it may be expected
that the size and weight of the German
artillery will be enormously increased,
as the new hammer will permit the
wOrking-up of larger masses of metal
than, up to the present time, has been
thought to be possible by scientific
engineers.

requirements Of the Qaiace.-This fruit
prefers low Yet well-drained situation.
soil not light nor yet too heavy, thor
ough culture when young at least, an
occasional dressing of woodashes and
salt, careful extraction of the borer.
and mulching. The demand in our
markets for ounces is on the increase,
and a healthy, productive orchard will
pay well, but to say that there is ''un-
told wealth. in this particular branch
of pomology is TO state the case much
more strongly than the facts warrant.
The comparatively new canning busi-
ness has increased the call for ounces
as il has of every other fruit, and he
who is the soonest able to offer a supply
will reap the benefit.

DiridiRg S,rdras.-lf you have mov-
able-frame, il is easy to make artificial
swarms. To do this, shake the bees
into 4 new hive containing frames; and
if you can give them one frame of comb
50 much the better. Be careful that the
queen is with them.
When you have them safely into the
hive, carry it To some distance from the
old swarm, leaving the original hive in
its natural place. Ii the swarm is sepa-
rated when the bees are in full flight,
enough will DE i'm the fields and return
10 keep the swarm intact, and finding 9
themselves without a queen, they will
proceed Immediately to raise one from
the worker-brood. The swarm in the
new hive will be precisely like any new
swarm; that is, having 4 queen but no
stores or bread, unless you have given
it To them.
