OLD SCRIPTURES FOUND.

A curious document will be contribu-
ted to the Congress of Orientalists about
to assemble in London. 1t is a papyrus
manuscript discovered few months ago
in Egypt, and is supposed by some au-
thoTities to be the oldest copy extant of
the old testament book of Zachariah and
Malachi.
These pages of papyrus, when intact,
were about ten inches high and seven
inches wide, each containing twenty
eight lines of writing, both sides of the
sheet being used. The complete line
contains from fourteen to sixteen let
tiers. The sheets are bound together in
the form of book in primitive though
careful manner with cord and strips of
old parchment. The Greek of this docu-
ment is written without intervals be-
tween the words, custom observed in
old Greek and old Hebrew manuscripts.
The papyrus is in fair preservation, and
is believed to date from the third or
fourth century. 1t thus ranks in age
with the oldest Greek manuscripts of the
Septuagint version of the old testament
in London, Rome and St. Petersburg.
1t has been shown to several of the
University professors in Vienna, who, l
am told, consider it to be genuine. The
British chaplain here, distinguished
0rientalist, will give an account of it at
the Congress. The differences in this
papyrus tend to the conclusion that it
was copied fromsome excellent original of
the Septuagint Bible, which was first
translated about the year $50 b. c., for
the use of the Hellenistic Jews in Egypt,
who, having gradually forgotten the He
brew tongue, had learned to speak
Greek.
The first summary examination has
shown that it has several new readings
which surpass some of the other Septua-
gint texts in clearness of expression and
simplicity of grammar. 1t would also
appear that it was copied from another
Septuagint Bible, and was not written, las
was frequently the case, from dictation.
A second scribe has occasionally cor
rected, as there are some mistakes of
photography made by the original copy
list. These are still clearly to be dis
tinguished by the different color Of the
ink.-London Times.

A MODEL FOR A suORT NOVEL.

The following gem is submitted as an
imitation of the prevalent American imi-
tation of the French short story:
They had been so happy.
He thought of those rosy days by the
seaside, those dreamy walks in the wood
and of that first ecstatic kiss.
All! That kissl He remembered how,
in that delirious moment of psychic in
tOxication when their very souls rushed
to their lips and commingled, how the
crescent moon had whirled and danced
before his tears-of-j y-bedimmed eyes,
until it took the semblance of a pin-wheel
in the throes of epilepsy.
And now the end had come. The end
of all.
She loved another.
He wandered to the woodshed. An
object struck their gaze.
1t was the meat axe.
An awful thought took possession of
him and scared itself into his plastic
soul.
AS one in dream he took the awful
weapon from the wall and strobe to the
grindstone. He placed the axe upon the
stone. His foot fell on the treadle, and
the insensate disk of grit began to re-
volve as if of its own volition.
Its sibillant, savage, serpentlike hiss
was music to his ear
Plucking hair from his magnificent
brown moustache that she had once
loved, he tested the edge of the instru-
ment of fate.
The test was satisfactory.
He strobe to the trysting place. Twas
to be their last meeting
She came. Her lips wore the same
false smile they had worn in other days.
He allowed his eyes one last look at
her transcendent loneliness and smote
her in twain. Then again in quarters.
And in Fights. And in sixteenths.
Then he calmly walked to the police
station, told his story and waited for the
end.-IndidndpORs journal.
