An Extraordinary Legal Document.

One of the most remarkable legal
papers on file in the archives of the
world is now in the national museum
of Paris, labeled: Sentence on a hog,
executed by justice, in the copyhold of
Clarmont-Avin, and strangled upon a
gibbet at that place" 1t is sealed
with red wax, kept under glass case,
bears date June IA, 1494, and reads as
follows: ''* We, the jury, il
detestation and horror of this crime,
and in order to make an example, and
to satisfy justice, have declared,
judged, sentenced, pronounced and
appointed that the said hog, now de-
tanned in the abbey as a prisoner,
shall by the executioncr be hung and
strangled on . gibbet, near the gal
lows which is within the jurisdiction
of the monks whose names are hereto
appended, near the copyhold of Avin.

Records of the Canaanitcs' Appeal for Help
Against invading Israclites,


The contents of that wonderful treas
ury of antique records discovered in
1887 by n peasant woman near the
ruins of the ancient Arsinoe in upper
Egypt have now been laid before the
public in Maj. Condcr's work on the
Tel hmarna tablets, comprising
translation of the text, with introduc-
ton and notes, says London Table.
Inscribed on clay tablets, subsequent
iy baked into brick and written in
Aramaic, the ancient language of
Syria, in cunciform characters, we
have here nothing less than series Of
dispatches sent to the Egyptian for
cign Office about 1850 b. C. from the
protected or tributary kings of Canaan,
imploring assistance against various
invasions. The most interesting are
the letters from the king of Jerusalem
and other chiefs of southern Palestine,
for in them we can trace the dis
may and alarm created by the ad-
vance of Joshua and the Hebrews,
called 'Abiri," and people of the
desert" A very striking passage oc-
ours in one of the dispatches to the
fugitive monarch, apparently after the
battle of Ajalon, in which, seeking, as
it were, to apologize for his defeat, he
speaks of the leaders of the enemy as
"sorccrcrs," doubtless an allusion to
the miracles of Joshua. The date of
the exodus is also shifted back to that
assumed by earlier Biblical opponents.
while TIE contrary theory of DR..
Brugsch, too hastily accepted as con-
sl-4sivcly es..L.;shed, is overthrown.

ACTION SUITED TO THE WORD.

How the Electric Light Man Nearly Broke
Up an Eastern Congregation.
A church society Of the standard
grade, not many miles from the New
ton, has completed q handsome and
commodious house of worship, says the
Boston Herald. The society has occu-
pied its house but a few times, but
long enough to find it nice in every
way, except that when the full force
of the electric lights is turned on it
makes a disagreeable glare for the full
services of Sunday evening. So the
head of the building committee talked
with the pastor ard some of the lead
ers. and they decided that it would be
practical and best to turn off the
switches controlling the side lights
during the body of the services, but to
have them on during the coming in
and the singing, and then during the
benediction and the going out of the
church at the close. This plan was
tried for the first time Sunday evening.
The man at the switches was little
new, but he thought he could manage
it. The Introductory hymn was over,
and the pastor arose in his place and
began: 81 am the light of the world. :"
Out went the side lights, leaving the
worthy clergyman in a food of radi-
arce from the lights just behind him.
His hearers smiled, some even Uttered.
The pastor himself scarcely carried
sober face through all the services.
The end of the meeting was near and
all the congregation noticed how much
better it was to have the electric lights
shine only on their light of the
world" 1t was about time to pass the
boxes. That must be done in full
light. The deacons and the ushers
were ready with their long handled
solicitors. The clergyman read: LET
your lights SO shine" On went the
full force of the electric side lights.
Then the audience would have actually
laughed out loud only it was altogether
too light.

COURTESY AMONG C.ilNE5E.

Americans liable to lie Surprised by Gen
tic Manners Among the Poor.
The Chinese are, as Il rule, the most
courteous people have ever come in
contact with, says Arena. When it is
taken into consideration that the ma
jority of the Chinese who come to this
country belong to the lower or lowest
class, their gentle manners are truly
surprising. | have seen parties of we'll
dressed Americans go into their stores,
poke about among the goods, or wan
der into the clubroom, watch the
games, handle the Instruments of the
orchestra. and ask all sorts of qucs-
tions concerning them. The intrudcrS
were treated as welcome guests, their
questions answered and tea, confec-
tions and cigarettes offered them on
departure. Fancy the reception which
would be accorded to n party of uni
Identified Chinese who attempted to
take look through one of our own
fashionable clubs! In the restaurants
their conduct is the same. imagine
that If three or foar Chinese were to
take it into their heads to dine at one
of our uptown restaurants they would
be subjected to many unpleasant re-
marks, probably some insolencc from
the walters, and. if they should prove
as awkward in handling the knife and
fork as the average American is with
the chopSticlls, you'd cause consider
able incrriment among the other guests.
But in Mott street the practice of good
breeding is different. Time and again
have seen some good-natupcd Chinese
let his own dinner grow cold, that he
might show some clumsy American
stranger who was struggling with the
chopsticls how to use those elusive
but useful implements. 1t is a very
simple trick after it is learned, and
one which have often found useful al
other places than at n table in Chin
csc restaurant. Once mastered, with
n couple of pencils one can improvise
q very serviccable pair of tongs to pick
up bee or struggling worm, Il bit of
hot metal or any such small object
which one does not care to touch with
ones fingers. The first stick should
be held rigidly. about three inches
from the lower end, between the ball
of the second finger, the first joint Of
the thumb and the hand, just below the
l1nuclilc joint of the first finger, very
much, in fact, as a cluInsy schoolboy
holds his pen. The second stick should
be held almost exactly a. good pen
man holds his pen, lightly, between
the ball of the thumb and of the first
finger. slightly resting along and
steadied by that finger, to just between
the second and knuckle joints. Chinese
meats are all served cut in small
pieces, SO as to be readily eaten with
chopsticks, thus materially reducing
the labor of dining.

1t is probably the largest magazine ever

in this notable anniversary issue are: In

/ will assume that at least hundred
millions of people, who have lived and
whose dust mingles with the common dust
of this new soil, have not had college
training, says DR.. Chas. F. Thwing, presi-
dent of Western Reserve university, in the
Forum for June. Yet out of these hun
bred millions only 10000 have so wrought
as TO deserve such recognition as is found
in cyclopedia of biography. Only TO-
600 out of ten thousand times ten thou
sand Therefore only one ont of every
10000. But of the college men one in ev-
cry 40 has attained such recognition.
Into one group gather together 10000 in
fants and send no one to college; one per-
son out of that great gathering will attain
through some work certain fame Into
another group gather 40 college men on
the day of their graduation, and out Of
those 40 one will attain recognition.
The New England magazine for June
opens with an interesting paper dealing
with the men and times of THE Boston

Abbott, and is fully illustrated with repro
auctions of old and scarce engravings of
the period. Price Collier gives the history
of "The old Westinghouse in bingham,

lea. This article is also finely illustrated.
