Rev. Father j. n Strassmaier, S. j.,
whose name is well known in Lam
cashire, and whose almost herculean
labors in the work of cuneiform paleo-
graphy have gained him worldwide
reputation among Assyriologists. has
nearly completed work of great i'm
portance. Among the treasures of the
British Museum are some 10000 in
scribed tablets from Babylon and other
cities of Chaldea, which related to
commercial, fiscal and other affairs
transacted in the cities of the empire.
These cover period from the time of
the fall of Nineveh and the accession
OF Nabupalassar, in b. c. 625. until
the time OF the conqest of Babylon by
Alexander the Great.
DIR. Strassmaier has just published
lithograph fac-similes of 1.134 in.
scriptions dated in the reign of
Nabonidus. the last of the native
kings OF Babylon, and covering the
period from b. c. 555 to B. c. 1858,
when Cyrus captured the city. The
document contains records of almost
every class OF business trans
actions-records of sales OF merchan-
disc and slaves. promissory notes,
mortgages. wills, marriage and dover
deeds. as well as tithe books and
temple accounts. Some idea OF the
power of the scribe caste is to be
gained when we find the names of over
800 Of these brethren of the stylus APP
pear in the deeds and it is possible to
distinguish the handwriting OF many
OF them. One very important point is
established by these documents. name-
ly, that the invasion of Cyrus, well
coined as it was by the priests and
people. and only opposed by the court
and army. caused little disturbance to
the affairs OF trade. Babylon was
captured on the 10th OF the month
Tammuz. b. G. 1858, and we have here
u loan OF silver dated on the 7th of the
month. while the first transaction after
the capture occurs on the 2lst of the
month. only five days after the fall.
Several great Inscriptions. indeed, al
most half, relate to the transactions of
the great banking firm of Egibi and
his sons, whom many Assyriologists
are inclined to regard as Jews. their
names being also spelt Ikibi or Jacob.

An Humble But True Hero.

At an obscure station in Northern
Iowa three years ago there were two
ladies waiting to take a train. A
tramp, drunk enough to be ugly and
quarrelsome, whose hand, like Ish-
maers, was against every man, came
in and amused himself by directing in-
sulting remarks to them The opera
tor was receiving an order to hold the
coming train, and did not hear. Az
he passed through the waiting-room to
put out the red flag the ladies ap.
pealed to him. He ordered the fellow
out, and receiving abuse in return AZ
tempted to push him through the opeu
door when the brute drew . concealed
dirk and stabbed him. The operator.
knowing it to be his death wound,
made no outcry. had no word of re-
proach for his murderer, no repinine
at his own fate, sent no last message
TO the loved ones whom this towards
act had bereft He simply extended
the flag which he still held. to the
ladies. and saying "Put it out" fell
ifeless at their feet--Minneapoli
Tribune.

WATER FOR CROPS.

How to Secure an Abundant Yield of
Grain Every Year.
More and more attention is being
given to the need of supplying plenty
of water to growing plants. The i'm
portance of water is shown by the fact
that plants contain from seventy-eight
to eighty-five, and, in some instances,
as high as ninety-five per cent. of
water. showing that water is by far
the most important constituent of their
growth. The plant during growth is
constantly evaporating water through
it's leaves, stems, and at every pore,
and the surface soil is giving off
water in vapor all the time. The
quantity of water required by a growing
crop is simply immense. If water
fails to be supplied the growth is
checked and finally comes to stand
still, and then the plants begin to wilt
and dry up. It has been calculated
that the production of one pound of
wheat requires the evaporation of seven
hundred or eight hundred pounds of
water during the growth of the plants.
A German scientist found that the pro-
duction of two and a fourth pounds of
barley required the evaporation of one
hundred and fifty-five gallons of wa
ter. Such a consumption of water
would require rainfall of
about six inches. Two tons of
hay per acre would represent q
rainfall of eleven inches. If the
rainfall is deficient full crop will not
be obtained unless some means are
provided to artifcially supply water.
By providing an artificial supply of
water, to be used when needed, abund-
ant crops can be secured every year.
In many instances brooks or streams
of water might be turned aside and
conducted along side-hills and used to
supply the farm crops with water when
needed. Or, if there were no brooks
that could be used for the purpose, a
well with q windmill and pump could
be used to irrigate six or eight acres.

CLARKSON'S CRIME.

Tho Shady Record of Brother Wanna
makers First Assistant.
The attention of the New York
grand jury has been called to the rob-
berry in which Assistant Postmaster
General ClarksOn was an accomplice
before the fact, and if it does its duty
he will be called away from Washing
ton to show cause why he should not
Sing Sing.
The proof of his guilt is1conclusive.
The property stolen as a result of the
robbery was of great value. 1t was
the mailing list of Funk & Wagnalls,
containing the names of the subscrib-
ers to the New York Voice. As
Clarkson was. no doubt, afraid of be-
ing shot by the Waterman if he
entered the Office with burglarious
intent. he hired two young men,
Charles A. Durfee and James l.
Jansen, to commit the theft. Dudley
was also in the conspiracy. and during
it's progress he wrote Durfee as fol-
lows:
MY DEAR SIR-Ycur favor Just received. In
reply would say that soon as am ready
shall be glad to have your services in the mat
ter that Mr.. Clarkson and were talking to
you about. It will necessltate your coming
here, and I can arrange, 1 think, for you to
have a room to sleep in the headquarters
building. We will settle about the details
when am ready for you to come.
In explanation of this, the other
young man employed rs GARRISON s
accessory says in his confession:
Mr.. Clarkson and 1 had an interview. /
| he 1iSfC . .
For these lists already furnished Clarkson
asked what price I wanted. I said 500 He
said the price was fair if the work was eff
fective.
This young man, a deaf mute en-
ployed by Funk & Wagnalls. naturally
felt that after robbing his benefactors
it would be unpleasant to remain in
their employ. He told Clarkson that
he would have to leave them. Clark
son urged him to remain '.in order to
gain more information and promised
to make it $3.50" Promises of Gov
eminent clerkships in the event of Re
publican success were also made as
further inducements for the commits
sion of the theft
The crime committed was felony.
As thieves employed by Clarkson and
Dudley were in the employ of Funk &
Wagnalls. some legal complications
might be created to enable Clarkson
to escape if he should he indicted, but
there are no complications to obscure
the moral aspects of the case, and
morally Clarkson is guiltier than the
deaf mute he paid for the commission
of theft and breach of trust.-St Louis
