English funeral E,inucttc.

There is one division of English eti-
quette which strikes an American as
worthy of note, and that is in connec-
ton with the dead. On the day of
funeral every house in the immediate Vi
cinity has the blinds lowered until the
last carriage has passed. Every boy is
taught to lift his hat rs the hearsc goes
by. whether it be the funeral car of the
noble or the pauper's hearse.
During the interval between the death
and the time that the body is removed,
often a week. no shouting must be in
dulged in by the children of the neigh
borhool. and no games must he played
ncar the desolated home. The merest
acquaintance sends Il card by n servant
bearing a message of sympathy, but there
is no intrusion upon the mourners ex-
ccpt by the most intimate friends. Those
who attend the funeral services always
wear black gowns, bonnets and gloves,
and all letters of coincidence must be
written upon black edged paper and in
closed in an envelope TO match.
English ladies do not 30 TO the grave,
though there have been some notable ex-
ceptions during the last few years i'll the
cases of wives of prominent men. Their
departure from the old custom is one of
many indications that English women
are preparing to take their rightful place
in the world-that they are no longer
content 10 be regarded as helpless crea-
turos-but may the day lie far distant
when they shall lose the gentle courtesy
which is the charm Of the English home.

An Interesting Calculation.

The age of n person and the month in
which he was born may be discovered IA
follows: First you ask him to 20 TO tho
other end Of the room TO prevent your
seeing what he is going 10 write. Then
you ask him TO put down the number of
the month in which hc was born and
multiply 1t by =, then add To- the sum,
and multiply the latter by 80; add his
age to the product, then deduct $50, and
add ll5 10 the remainder. Suppose he
is 10 years of age and was born in Feb
Tuary. the computation might stand
thus: Two multiplied by . equals 4, plus
; equals ., multiplied by 80 equals $50.
plus 10 equals i99. minus 30 equals 13i,
plus 10 equals 20. The last two fig
urcs indicate the age-yiz, i9-and the
first figure ~ February, the second
month If the year. You simply ask the
person to state the result of the calcula-
tion and then declare that lie was born
in February and is - years of age.
Experiment with this as often rs you
please, and it is sure TO woik, provided
you DO it correctly. Exchange

ANCIENT CLAY TABLETS.
How the Writings OF tho Egyptians We're
Preserved For All Time.

How the Writings OF tho Egyptians Were
Preserved For All Time.
The clav of which the Tell Amarna
tablets are composed differed greatly in
different regions. DR.. Bezold SAYS: In
color the tablets vary from a light to n
dark dust tint and from flesh color TO
dark brick red. The nature of the clay
Of which they are made sometimes indi-
Gates the countries from which they
come. No. /, n draft of letter from
Amenophis III TO Kallimmasin, is made
of finely kneaded Nile mud. Others are
of the dark red clay which is met with
in the north of Syria. Five of Ribadda's
letters are written on the yellow clay
which is common on the Syrian coast.
The tablets from Shubandi, Widya and
Shuardata contain fragments of flint"
OF the shape of the tablet she says:
"The greater number are rectangular,
and few are oval, and they differ in
shape from any other cuneiform docu-
ments known TO rs. Some are fiat on
both sides. some are convex on both sides,
and some are pillow shaped. Compare
the name given to such tablets by the
Arabs. mekhadid or pillows"
The tablet, having been kneaded into
shape, was inscribed while the clay was
damp by the use of n wooden style, and
thcobverse having been written the tab
let was supported by some means while
the back was in use. In the case of some
cuneiform tablets. holes are found in the
corners. which were made by pins of
wood. on which they rested, so as to pre-
vent the written surface from being OBJ
liberated while the reverse was being in
scribed But these pinholes do not seem
TO occur in the present collection.
Some of the letters are divided into
paragraphs by ruled lines, which are,
however, not always truly horizontal.
The royal letters, which arc the most
carefully written, have well shaped SYM
bols in true horizontal lines, but many
of the tablets from Syria seem 10 have
been hastily written and are often very
crooked. The care, however, that was
taken by the scribe is evidenced by the
corrections which he has introduced of
unfinished words, 70 which a syllable or
more is added by insertions between the
lines. while in other eases words, or even
whole line, have been erased by
smoothing out the writing. other signs
having been substituted, or in some
cases the space has been left blank.
When. therefore, translators who have
found difficulty in understanding what
was written have supposed that the
fault lay with tie carelessness of the
original scribe, we can only regard such
a supposition rs indicating the self suf-
ficicncy which is common fault among
a certain class of modern scholars, who
are convinced that if there be any error
it cannot be their wn.-Edinburgh Re-
