The task Of decIphering totally unknown
characters appeared indeed TO be n q hopeless
one, and yet It was successfully accomplished
At the beginning of the present century
GeOrE Friedrich Grotcfend, of Hanover, Ger
many discovered the key that was destined
to unlock the mysteries of cunciform writing.
sim the obstacles were great that besct at
every step the plucky band of pioneers who
struck ont in the path opened by GrOteiend.
From laboriously spelling out each word, like
a child learning the alphabet, the deeIpher-
ment gradually advanced, until to-day schol'
airs read an ordinary cuueltOrm with almost
the same ease rs page Of Hebrew in the Old
Testament. In some respects the deeiphor-
mcnt OF the cuncifUrm inscriptions was n
tended with even greater difficulties than the
reading Of the Egyptian hieroglyphlc-, but
the two achievements are TO be rcckOned
among the most notable triumphs Of the hui
man mind,
As a result Of the deolphcrmcut OF the ma
teral stored up in European museums
though far from cNhMstcd-the general
course OF events and the internal development
of Babylon aud As-yrin have become clear.
We have quite complete histories OF q num-
Der OF Assyrian kings who up TO a short time
ago were known only by name The lists Of
the occupants Of the Babylonian and Assyrian
thrones are now virtually complete onward
from the fifteenth century before our era.
We now know far more Of Seunachcrib and Es-
Hrhaddon than we do OF their contemporaries,
Heck iah and Manuasseh, of .Iudca; OF earlier
times we have at least cOpious records as
OF the early days Of Greece and Rome; and II
the hopes OF the present are fulfilled, In an
other nfty years our knowledge OF Assyria
and Bubylonia bids fair to rival In complete
ness what We know of the middle ages.-Co'-

"Thank you, mother Oh, am so

every minute until the time comes"
Don't think about it too much,
dearic or YOUR lessons will suffer, aad
Miss Stewart will not be pleased with
you."
This was good advice, but Nettic
did not profit by it. Size was so mat
tcntive to her lessons next day that
her teacher was obliged to speak
sharply TO her more than once, and on
Friday matters were worse.
What are you thinking OF, Nettie?"
asked Miss Stewart when Ncttie had
told her for the second time that an
island was Il portion of water entirely
surrounded by land. You cannot

Nettie felt rather alarmed at this
threat, and when Miss Stewart re-
turned her bool; she set to work in
real earnest to learn her task, succeed
ing so well that she was able to re-
peat it perfectly in half an hour.
This was something gained, but
there was still sum to be done.
Nettie did not like arithmetic, aud she
pouted as she took her slate and
looked at the row of figures that were
to be multiplied by two. 1t was n
very easy sum, but anything will
seem difficult to little girl whose
attention is not given to her work.
Twice three arc Nettie yawned,
and idly tapped the slate with her
pencil Was mother ironing her white
frocll? she wondered. Would she
bring out her mink sash and pretty
bronze shoes? Would MIR. Norris show
many funny pictures with his magic
lantern?
Twice thrcc-Twicc threc-to be
sure, that made seven, and down went
figure seven on the slate. Twice
one made two, of course. That was
easy enough. The sum was nearly
finished now; only one figure to be
multiplied Nettie paused again, and
wondered what sort of game
Mus cal Chairs" was,
"Nettie." called Miss Stewart.
Nettic started and looked at her
slate. She had not yet discovered how
many two would make when multi
piled by the same number. Without
stopping to reflect, she put down

was placed in the center of the room,
and babe her seat herself upon it.
Crimson with shame and distress,
Nettie obeyed, and then Miss Stewart
brought from the cupboard cap of
stiff, brown paper, ..pon which the
word Ounce" was Inscribed in big
black letters, and placed it on the
dropping head. Poor Nettie. She
sat quite still, her hands in her lap
and the lids yelling her blue eyes.
She was too much ashamed even to
cry, and she dared not meet the
glances of her companions. She felt
very unhappy as she thought that now
she would be kept in. and would per-
haps be too late for the party. Even if
not, could she face Bee and her friends
after this disgrace?
The clock struck four Books were
put away and the children were dis
missed, all except Ncttic Miss Stew
art took no notice of her. and the lit
tie girl began to wonder if her eacher
would go home and leave her there
alone. Tears rose to her eyes and
rolled down her flushed cheeks.
Miss Stewart heard the sound OF
sobbing and came to the little girls
side Then Nettic begged to be for
given, and confessed what had been
the cause of her carelessness. Miss
Stewart smiled as she removed the
ounces cap.

see if you cannot get this sum right.

Five minutes later Mrs, Coulter
looking from her open doorway, saw
her little daughter coming down the
street.
How late Won are, dear!" she said.
"llavc you been crying Ncttic?'
Then Nettio told her trouble, half
fearing that mother would rcproach
her, but she did not She saw that
Nettic had been sufficiently punished
for her fault SO She brought out the
white frOck and bronze shoes. and be-
gan to dress the little girl for the
party. Nettic was soon ready, and
then mother produced boz of choco-
late creams, tied with white ribbons,
and with a picture of Il little girl upon
the lid
you must give this to Bee for a
birthday present, she sad.
Mother, how good You are! And
I've been 50 naughty will try to
be n good girl always"
Bees home was not far away, and
Nettic soon reached it. She could
hear the sound of merry voices inside
as She timidly knocked at the door. 1t
was opened by Bee.
Come in, Nettic," She cried. I'VE
would not begin tea until you came"
Nettie followed Bee into the parlor,
feeling little uneasy lest some re-
mark might b. made about what had
happened at school, but nobody said n
word about it, so Nettic soon got over
