hess" said an officer of one of the city

said. when the refrigerator sold con-
sumed SO many pounds of ice every
day, whether there was anything to be
Kept or not. Practically they were
simply ice boxes, and. of course, the
more ice that melted in them the more
ice there was to be bought, and as far
as we were concerned. the more sold
The refrigeratorhas improved steadily,

cies placed in it for preservation. but
the ice also. Recently | looked over

In houses where they always used Is
cents worth of ice each day then I
found that they now use but 10 cents
worth per day. The amount of the re-
duction is caused by the Improvement
Of the refrigerator. In other words 10

record of the doings and sayings of the
Saviour. 1t was written within fifty
years of the death of the last of the
Apostles-as near to the time of Christ
Jas we today are to the time of Washing
ton.
The Gospels of the Bible are from
the Greek manuscripts. Christ, how
ever, addressed the multitude and talk
ed with his disciples in Syriac, the ma
tive tongue He learned at His mothers
knee.
And here, for the first time, the
Christian world has the history of the
Saviour told in the very words He used
the infection, the spelling, the pre-
else shades of meaning. Written in the
native language of Palestine, this aged
manuscript is more valuable than the
Greek translations, which are the &C
cepted Gospels of Christianity.
Is 1t not strange, therefore, that stu
dents of the Bible, Greek and Syriac
scholars and historians have turned

New Woman Is Happy in Burmah.
Burmah would be paradise for the
new woman if she could be induced to
emigrate thither. The Burmese women
are, according to recent writer, the
freest on earth. Men and women arc
equal. Both share inheritances alike,
and women, like men, inherit abso:
lutely. No trustees stand between a
woman and her property, and when
she marries no transfer is made. She
keeps her own property, her husband
his. He has no legal control over her
actions at all. She does not sacrifice
her family name in marriage. Prop
erty acquired with her husband is held
jointly IN a. legal partnership. Bur-
mese women go into business just as
the men do. When marriage occurs,
the woman will go with her trade, the
man with his.

thousand years, and sheets of papyrus
written over and rewritten over are
placed before them in the ancient Ii
brary, where the sunlight is hardly
strong enough to enable them to take
their photographs. With the latest
productions of this nineteenth century
era, kodaks, sensitive films, and de
velopers," these two new women from
Cambridge university worked hour by
hour on Mount Sinai among parchments
written during the first century.
1t was thus that they discovered the
palimpsest of the Gospels. A palimp-
sest is an ancient parchment or other
document whose original writing had
been erased to make room for a later
record. Generally good deal of the
original writing can be deciphered in
such documents, many of which have
been written over two or more times
in this manner.
The Syriac Gospes which have now
turned up had so been written over.
In order to make use of the original
sheets second time some monk; who
attached little Importance to the docu-
ments erased with knife or pumice
stone the first writing. He then wrote
over it the lives of some of the saints.
The Gospel writing was that which was
underneath.
Upon a second journey made to the
monastery by these two new women,
one of them, Mrs. Lewis, armed her
self with four bottles of foul-smel1-
ing liquid, with which she washed the
sacred leaves, thus, as she claims, re-
viving the original writing in all it's
clearness.
When the original snapshot pictures
of the document were taken the two
women were unaware Of the Importance
of their work. A professor of Oriental
languages at Cambridge university, to
whom they showed the developed pho
tographs, read the Syriac writing and
was much excited by his discovery.

ACTORS LIKE. WASHINGTON,

Are Fond of Spending Leisure in the
Capital.
Every actor or actress, lyric Or dra-
matte, will tell you that they love to
come to Washington. 1t is invariably
th2 pilgrimage of pleasure. There are
several reasons for this. One reason in
chief is because great deal of the tai
ent that appreciates talent is naturally
at the seat of the government, where
for years there has been a centripetal
movement of bright men and women.
Another reason is that conditions po-
lltical and otherwise change so often
that men and women are not permitted
to move in grooves. This brings about
a system of society, if it may be so
called, which is more free from cliques
and cabals than any other city in the
United States. The president is. the
president OF the people. The first lady
in the land is no bigger than the second
or third lady in the land. The few
titled people hold title from the people,
and if they don't behave themselves, as
Andrew Jackson intended, the people
get mad, and titles and perquisites van
ish at the next election, including the
coterie known as the cabinet set. Of
course there is the diplomatic corps, but
that is not American. The diplomatic
corps changes also quite frequently, but
the theatric corps is with us always,
and it is perhaps a draw as to whether
the people like the play actors" any
better than the ''play actors" like the
people of Washington. Actors, like
everybody else, and they are all mortal
except when on the other side of the
footlights, are apt to become lonesome
if not absolutely lost in the immensely
of the great cities through which they
go like birds of passage during the
''business' season. Nothing can be
more solitary than the solitude of
great city in which no one knows any
body and in which it is, difficult to get
acquainted with anybody.

No: but everybody is too full to no.
t1ce those little things, / suppose. Come,
I've enough of this. Let's move on.
The truth was that Harry Woodhall
had just been undergoing that last and
worst wrench. He had been tearing up
the root that had been feeding on hope,
and the process had left him in reck-
less state of mind, when nothing seemed
to matter. The money, which he car
ried in belt around his waist, seemed
weight that was dragging him down,
down, away from everything, and the
thought nearly maddened him.
Mcqueen had gone for his horse,
leaving Woodhall alone on the steps of
the Legal Tender" A low voice at
his elbow startled him. .'.
els it the Senior Woodhall?"
He turned sharply and, faced the
questioner. A tall, slim, dark-haired
Mexican girl stood before him. Over
her shoulders she had thrown a many
colored serape which only half con-
cealed the well-carved and graceful
lines OF her figure. Her coal-black hair
hung in long plat, and her eyes
seemed almost luminous as she stood
in the shadow beside him. She was
beautiful, there could be no doubt Of
that, and as Woodhall stood there star
ing at her a wild, half-formed resolu-
ton took possession, of him, born of
his recent fierce struggle with the last
hope.
Eyes, I am Woodhall," he answered
her. What is it?''
will the senior come with me a lit
tle?'
Without a word Woodhall sprang on
MS horse. The girl quickly mounted a
COW pony tied near by, and together
they dashed off into the darkness
Within the legal Tender" the dance
and game went on. Not soul had seen
their quick disappearance. Mcqueen
hunted about little, saw that Wood
halls horse was gone, cursed him for
an unsociable brute, and started back
to the ranch alone
1t was a dark, forbidding- looking
abode at which Woodhall and the girl
dismounted. AS near as he could judge
they had ridden two or three miles

had started toward the bed, muttering:

Then" said Woodhall, in a voice
That seemed to him hollow and far
away, 1--WE will watch her together"
And standing there these two, the
fair one with revolver in one hand,
the other clasping the girls, the dark,
one crouching like coyote at bay, yet
hv1d with horror, watched the girl I'M
til the last spark of life was gone. A
moment later a sharp report rang
through the hut, and then Woodhall
galloped away-alone.
Next morning he appeared at break
fast, pale and very quiet.
"FelloWs,' he said finally, 1--WE been
thinking it. over, and I'm afraid I'm
not suited to this sort of life. l don't
think that I could ever be contented
here, and-in short, I'm going to start
for California this afternoon"
And he did, in spite of all they could
say or do.
The last thing he said to Mcqueen
as the train pulled out was: "You had
better get another foreman, Mac, for I
don't think Gongorez is coming back"
