The Greek Word for Soul.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
According to your report Of Or. LATER
tvs speech. he says DIR. Thomas af-
frmed the Greek word for soul meant
something volatile. like the salts in a
iady's smelling bottle
But DIR. Thomas was too good a scholar
TO confound the Greek and Hebrew in
this way. He was talking Of the He
brew word for soul. which Is nephesh,
and occurs in Isaiah ILL. 20 In the He
brew phrase, battei ha-nephesh; which
phrase Ia rendered tablets in the COM
mon version t''houses of the soul" In the
margn). In the Revised Version ii is
rendered 'perfumeboxes." According TO
the Hebrew lexicon Of Gesenius. consid-
cred the best. the primary meaning OF
nephesh Is breath. hence also odor
perfume. which anything breathes cx-
hales" And Gesenius here cites the
phrase, battei ha-nephesh. which he rem
ders 'perfume-boxes. smelling bottles"
Not that perfume is the only meaning OF
nephesh. but Is one of Its meanings.
Nephesh occurs about 4G5 times in the
Scriptures. from Genesis to Malachi. and
has about thirty-five different meanings.
Respectfully, OBSERVER.

The Three stone Balls mt the Armory

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
VIII you kindly give the history OF the
two balls that are mounted In front of
the Arfnory, and oblige, c. +. ID.
A well-informed and much-valued friend
Of ours answers this question for US as
follows:
In the early part OF this century one Of
our men-at-war-ships was sent to carry
a tribute TO Tripoli. In Africa. The Dey
requested the commander TO convey his
tribute TO the Sultan at Constantinople.
This was the first American national ship
which had ever been there. and the Sui
tan made a present Of four cannOn-balls.
made of stone. which were used in the
large cannon mounted on the forts pro-
tecting the passage Of the Dardanelles.
Two OF these balls were sent TO the gov
eminent at Washington, and Lieutenant
Blakeley Carter, who was an officer on
board, brought the other two. together
with a shield carved out OF piece or
marble found on the Plain OF Marathon.
20 Richmond a present to the Universe
~ of Virginia. / have heard that the
university took the shield. but declined
to pay the wsgonage on the balls TO
Charlottesville. They were handed TO the
firm OF Dunlop, Moncure & Co. Whom
Mr. Henry W. Moncure built tho house
at the corner OF Seventh and Marshall
streets he took the two original Turkish
cannon balls and had a similar one made
OF Richmond granite and placed them at
the three corners OF his lot. DR.. Beverley
r. Wexford afterwards bought the premi-
sas. and after his death Major James II.
Dooley bought the lot and made a present
OF all three balls and the granite pedestals
to the Armory, where they are now.

1.-THE GIRLILEFT BEHIND ME-"


I'm lonely since I crossed the hill,
And DER the moor and valley; go
Such heavy thoughts my heart do fill,
Since parting With my Sallie
! seek no mole the fine and gay.
For each does but remind me
How swift the hours did pass away,
With the girl I've left behind me.
Oh, ne'er shall I forget the night,
The stars were bright above me.
And gently lent their silvery lght,
When first she vowed she loved me.
But now I'm bound TO Brighton camp
Kind Heav'n, may favor find me,
And send me safely back again
To the girl l left behind me.
Tire bee snail honey taste no more,
The dove become ranger
The dashing waves shall cease 10 roar,
Ere she's to me stranger
The vows we've registered above
Shall eyer cheer and bind me
In cons.ancy TO her love
The girl / left behind me.
Ny mind her form shall still retain.
In sleeping or In waking,
Until ] see my love again.
For whom my heart is breaking.
IL ever ] should see the day,
When Mars shall have resigned me,
For eyermore. I'll gladly stay
With the girl I've left behind me.

The Rule for Regulating Easter.

The Rule for Regulating Easter.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
On a line extending nearly northwest
and southeast Of Pittsburg. Pa, the moon
fulls at midnight on Saturday night,
March q. 1896
The usual rule Cor regulating Easter on
the calendar is by taking the first Sun
day that comes after the full moon that
happens upon or next after the 2lst OF
March, and should the moon become full
on a Sunday. yesterday Is always on the
Sunday following.
According to this rule, all those coun-
tries lying east OF Pittsburg. Pa, say
half way around the globe, Easter falls
on April 5, 1856; but to all sections west
of Pittsburg, Easter rightfully comes
with March 18th.
Will your query editor or some reader OF
the Dispatch give me the rule for meeting
an emergency OF this kind, or say which
of the two dates named VIII stand as
Easter throughout the world IN the year
1896? H. J. H.
The time of Easter depends upon the &C.
clesiastical new moon. and not upon the
real or astronomical new-moon. and
these may differ by two days or more.
The subject Is quite complicated one
as our correspondent may see by consult
ing the article, Calendar" In the British
Encyclopedia Practically, however. there
Is no difficulty as the time OF Easter has
been worked out and settled by tables and
otherwise for many years to come. mus
in the prayer-books and elsewhere our
correspondent will find the days put down
the same, OF course, for all the WORLD,
at least, for the remainder of this CEN
fury. For 1896 1t will be April 5th; for 1891.
April 18th: for 1893. April 10th. etc, etc.

Witches Stirrups.
RICHMOND. VA.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
notice in your issue of the 18th
the explanation of Mr.. Horace Smoot de-
fining the causes of the so-called

His explanation is very good from

For the benefit of your readers | would

a number of years, with success, and

with the so-called "hag-rides, and not
believing in the superstitions OF the
stable-boys, I gave 1t my personl atten-
ton, and was awarded thus:
observed that the horse. on lying
down at night was unusually restless;
would kick, and rub his head in his
sleep: was spasmodlc; would wake and
suddenly spring TO his feet, and snort as
II in fear, this fear. no doubt. being
caused by some horrid dream, since
am convinced that animals do dream;
would show all the lighter symptoms OF
bots. / was at once convinced that ne
was unwell and began to physic him
with the best results. | found he was
suffering from pin worms. and as they
tormented him in his sleep. 1t caused
him to pcrspire and become CONFUSED.
and, no doubt, gave out large portion
of electricity. But the principal cause
OF his name becoming matted was his
rubbing on the floor
may also add that young horses
tust from the pasture are generally trou-
b,ed with pin worms, and change Of food
gives them no little trouble.
If your original correspondent will take
charcoal, sugar, and copperas in equal
parts, powder, and give his horse a table
spoonful every night until he has rid his
horse OF worms, | am convinced he will
not be troubled again with -hag-rides.

The "gravelly. clay lands" OF the val

ductlon of grass by heavy lining. The
best thing to do would be TO SOW clover

the thunder-showers come sow a mixture
of red-top and bluegrass, half and half.

growth would be promoted by a mixture
OF ashes and fine manure or rich earth,
two bushels to the acre. This Is trouble
some, but good sod on such land Is
