SOME ANCIENT MESSAGES.

Records Of Canaanite Appeals for Help
Against the Invading Israelites.
The contents of that wonderful
treasury of antique records discovered
in 1887 by peasant woman near the
ruins of the ancient Arsinoe in upper
Egypt have now been laid before the
public in Maj. Coader's work on the
Tel Amarna tablets, comprising q
translation of the text, with introduc-
tion and notes. Inscribed on clay tab
let's, subsequently baked into brick, and
written in Aramaic, the ancient Ian
guage of Syria, in cuneiform char
acters, we have here, says the London
Tablet, nothing less than series Of dis
patches sent to the Egyptian foreign
Office about 1880 B. C. from the pro-
tected of tributary kings Of Canaan
imploring assistance against various
invasions. The most interesting are
the letters from the king Of Jeru-
salem and other chiefs of south
ern Palestine, for in them we
can trace the dismay and alarm cre-
ated by the advance of Joshua and the
Hebrews, called "Abiri," and "People
of the Desert" A very striking pas
sage occurs in one of the dispatches Of
the fugitive monarch, apparently after
the battle Of Ajalon, in which. seeking
as it were, to apologize for his defeat,
he speaks of the enemy as 'sorcerers,"
doubtless in allusion to the miracles Of
Joshua. The date of the exodus is also
shifted back to that assumed by earlier
Biblical exponents, while the contrary
theory of DR.. Brugsch, too hastily ac-
cepted as conclusively established. is
over thrown.

At the landlords suggestion the
peasant generously offered tho sick
man place in the cab he had hired,
with the intention Of seeing the fete
Is thoroughly and comfortably as pos
sible. His errand Of mercy would, he
thought, take him at most half an
hour, but during the Journey the
workman became worse and died. At
the hospital the unlucky peasant was
kept waiting an hour, and finally told
that it was impossible to take in q
corpse. He drove of with his lu-
gubrious charge to the nearest police
station. Here he again met with re-
fusal, and was dispatched off to the
police commissariat Of the Belleville
quarter.
1t was six o'clock before the unfor-
tunate countryman could get rid of his
melancholy burden, and he had then
just time enough left to get to his
train at the Lyons railway station. He
had not as much as caught glimpse
of the masks and confetti he had come
all the way from his native villa:s to
see.

OLD DAYS IN WALL STREET,

Terms That Were Familiar to the Mon on
Change Fifty Years Ago.
An old Wall street man, long since
retired, speaking of the numerous
changes in the manners and customs
of the stock exchange, according to the
New York Tribune, said to the writer:
'The lambs that we have in the street
in these days were called funkies when
I was on change, some forty or fifty
years ago. A hunky we regarded as Q
man who, deceived by appearances,
went into the market without any
knowledge of itand generally lost all
he had.
''We have had bulls and bears ever
since can remember, but the fAmiliar
terms bull-backers and bsAfSttAps I
have not heard in q good many yeazA.
They were the rnoneyed n6n, %he Big
spectators who combined With seaE&
other for the purpose Of cornerins the
market; men such as Keene and Gould,
Drew, Commodore Vanderbilt and
Jacob Little In those days Tho brok-
ers used to play lovingly among
themselves for the purpose Of keep
ing up appearances. When they had
no customers on whom to practice
they would make large transactions,
which, by mutual understanding. were
not to be fulfilled, and when the game
was out the securities were thrown
back on the market. These transac-
tions, often published in the CONNER
cial newspaper, went forth to the
world as the evidences Of value and the
condition of the money market to de-
ceive the unwary. The present man
agement of the stock market renders
such transactions impossible. Besides,
the papers of to-day would refuse to
publish them"

DISCARDED BY THREE STATES
The Original No Mans LNnd Lay Between
Maryland and Delaware.


When one speaks to you of No Mans
land, don't be so sure that he means to
refer you to that strip Of sand prairie
at the far end of the Indian territory,
otherwise ''the Panhandle" The or
iginal No Mans land is little tongue
OF real estate extending few miles
south of the Mason end Dixon line, be-
tween the states of Maryland and Del
aware. Occasionally some one starts
the story that the aforementioned
tract is, properly speaking, part Of
no state-that IL is a scrap or leftover
piece of the United States where no
one owns the land upon which he re-
sides. On the maps the land Is usually
accredited to the state of Pennsylva-
MIA, but high legal authority says that
the claim is very vague and shadowy.
This triangular bit of territory wss
marked off in a curious manner, as re-
lated by the Philadelphia Press The
eastern boundary of Maryland was
early determined, but the southern
boundary of Pennsylvania was long &
matter of dispute. Finally Mason and
Dixon began their survey, starting at
the eastern boundary Of Maryland.
proceeding westward. At the same
time the northern boundary Of Della
ware was declared to be a semicircle,
the center of which was New Castle.
In surveying this semicircle it was
found that the circumference did not
touch the boundary of Maryland at It's
junction with the Pennsylvania line.
Thus this three-cornered bit Of land
was actually left over, discarded by
three states and finally attached to
Pennsylvania for judicial purposes.

TURNED GRAY IN A NIGHT.
How Germans Hair Was Blanchet By
the Horror OF DeIirium.

How Germans Hair Was Blancbed by
the Horror OF DeIirium.
Though it has long been popular
belief that the hair may be suddenly
turned white under the influence of
some very powerful emotion, such as
grief or terror, and though numerous
stories about 1t are related in popular
literature and folk tales, yet some
Psychologists are doubtful of such q
sudden change ever taking place, and
well authenticated instances of its
actual occurrence are very rare. The
case OF Divide Musin, the violinist,
whose hair and beard were completely
blanched as the result of a railroad
wreck. is r r2h 0Htt vc-chod for than
most stories of the kind, though there
are few that seem to answer the re.
quirements of the most exacting scien-
lists. One of these quoted by the New
York Advertiser is mentioned in DR..
Virchow's Archives for April, 1885,"
by DR.. Landois, as occurring under
the observation of himself and Dr..
Lohmer. In this case the blanching
OF the hair occurred in hospital in q
single night while the patient was
under the daily observation of the visr
iting physicians, and it would seem to
prove beyond doubt not only that
actual grief or terror may produce
this peculiar result, but that the SIM
ulated horrors of delirium may have
the same effect. The patient, a conn
positor thirty-four years of age, with
light hair and blue eyes, was admitted
into'the hospital July o, 1865, suffering
from an acute attack of delirium tre-
mems. A marked popularity in the
disease was excessive terror whenever
anyone approached the patient. He
slept for twelve hours on the night
of the 18th of July after having
taken thirty drops of Iaudanum. Up
to this time nothing unusual had been
observed regarding the hair. On the
morning of July 12 it was evident to
the medical attendants and to all who
saw the patient that the hair of the
head and beard had become gray. The
patient himself remarked the change
with irtense aston ishment. The hair
remained gray as long as the patient
was under observation. to Septem-
ber II.

INGENIOUS SMUGGLERS.
Tho Post Once as an Instrument for
Their Illegal Traffic.


Their Illegal Traffic.
The post Office inspectors keep q
sharp lookout for smuggling through
the mails, says Washington letter to
the Boston Transcript. About $50
sealed packages are seized annually in
the New York post Office. In an aver
age year $4,000 unsealed parcels are
confiscated at the same Office and re-
leased on the payment of fines which
are equivalent to the duties Some
very ingenious methods are employed
for transmitting dutiable articles by
post. Not long ago a package from
Germany was found to contain q small
roll of butter. A wire passed through
1t met with an obstruction, which
proved to be tin box filed with valu-
able jewelry. Probably dozen silk
handkerchiefs are found wrapped up
in newspapers in every mail from
China. The skill exhibited by the
postal clerks in detecting such contra-
band Enclosures is wonderful. 1t seems
to partake of the nature of intuition
They say they do not know themselves
how they do it, but that newspaper
with a silk handkerchief in it has Q
sort of guilty feeling when manipulat.
ed. Silk stockings are mailed from
France in the same manner. An odd
kind of smuggling is the sending od
mushrooms by mail from Italy. They
are of peculiar kind, dried, and are
much relished by natives of that coun-
