dislike to be called farmers in irony.
Well, it is related that on a day in
1885, when the Pensacola. Capt. Dewey
in command, was in the Mediterranean
she was then flagship of the European
squadron-a shift of wind ACCOMPANIED
by a rapid fall of the barometer gave
warning of changing weather. Pres
emily a white squall came up, and
there was busy work for all hands. the
executive officer in the waist, the officer
of the deck on the quarterback. and
the midshfpmen in the fo'castle, below
ing and repeating orders, while the sail
ors jumped through the tops like
monkeys. Just then something fouled
the clews Of the main topsail. at the
very moment that the squall struck,
and bungling for a moment or two
nearly cost the vessel a spar. Dewey,
from the bridge was locker on, and
everybody was in tremulous anticipa-
tion of severe rebuke. But he only
turned to the officer Of the deck, and
said mildly:
''Will you kindly tell me what was the
matter just now with the agricultural
population on the main topsail yard ?"
This remark precolated through the
midshipmen to the crew, and, being
duly translated, it produced an effect
from which the men did not recover
for DAYS.

A New short-Hand system.

We are informed that Professor Adolf
DIR, an accomplished German scholar
and linguist, has invented a system OF
shorthand symbols which will enable
stenographers to report in any one or
all of the chief European languages as
readily and correctly as they can in
their respective mother tongues. This
system. upon which Professor DIR has
been engaged for a long time, is ex-
planned in a volume which will prob
ably be issued in a few weeks by q
Paris publisher.
Professor DIR is master of some
thirty languages, Oriental included.
His system has nothing whatever to
do with "volapuk," dismal fad,
which also was made in Germany, but
which the Professor has ridiculed He
has advised all people in search Of a
universal language" to learn English.
and he has given his reasons. English
literature is the richest and greatest in
the world, English is more generally
spoken than any other language since
the mishap at Babel, it is the universal
language of commerce-in the East and
Far East especially-and it is spread
ing with increasing rapidity, so that
you can't tell where it's going to stop
Gf it ever does stop. All of which,
from so good an authority, is fattering
to the shy, retiring Briton. We may
add that Professor Dirr is contem-
plating a linguistic and chronological
survey of the Caucasus-almost un-
trodden ground-the exploration OF
which would be the work of years

Status Of Women In Baby1onia.

A recent treatise by Victor Marx de-
fines the position of women in Baby
lonia during the period 604-4S5 B. c., as
illustrated by the contract literature
of the times; his treatise forms half of
Heft l, Band ", of the Beitrage zur
Assyriogie und semitischen Sprachwis-
senschaft, Leipsic, 1899, and is review
ed at some length by J. Dyneley Prince
in 1.-The American Journal of Philo-
logy," Vol. Xxx, pp. 1O4-1O6. The con-
tracts indicate that Babylonian maid
ems held property in their own right,
and that there were definite marriage
stipulations relating to dowry Incl
dentally indicating the dependence Of
the son on his fathers wishes in, the
choice of wife. The dowry contracts
were definite, stating the amount and
nature of the property to be given,
providing for payment by installments
and arranging for payment by a broth
er in case of the fathers decease, the
dowry being regarded as a legally col
lectible debt, payable in kind if money
were lacking. The legal recipient Of
the dowry was the son-in-law, yet the
daughter (wife) retained such proprie-
tary interest therein that if invested
in realty by the husband it was in his
wifes name
Married women We're competent to
conduct transactions relating to money,
to realty and to slaves, their contracts
being sometimes witnessed by the hus-
band, while various business trans
actions were performed in common by
husband and wife, the former being
alone responsible as guarantor, the
mere presence of the wife giving le-
gality to the husbands transactions,
at least in certain cases. There are in
dications that husband and wife en-
joyed approximately equal rights with
respect to property, the control Of chill
dren, etc.; there is little reference to
the husbands duty to support the wife,
though it appears that in case of di-
vorce the husband paid alimony ac-
cording to his means. Frequent refer
ence to slaves appears in the contracts,
but the author postpones discussion Of
the subjects of slavery and of the con-
dition of female slaves.
The information brought to LIGHT
through the study of these ancient con-
tracts bears on the development of in
stitutions Apparently the regulations
governing the contracts studied per-
tanned chiefly to urban life; certainly
the regulations seem hardly in accord
with the customs prevailing. among
contemporary nomadic tribes and still
maintained among their descendants of
similar habit.-Dr w. ]. MCGEE in

Dog Beloved by Henry Clay.

Under the shadow Of the monument
erected to Henry Clay there has recent
ly been placed the body of his dog.
The animal so highly honored was
the property of the late John NJ Clay,
and it is Mr.. Clays widow who has
placed the animals remains near those
of her husband and only few feet from
the last resting place of the man who
would rather be right than be Presi-
dent" Mrs. Clay explains as follows:
DOC was a st. Bernard and the
property of my late husband He was
an immense animal think the largest
I ever saw, and very handsome. My
husband was greatly attached to this
dog, and after Mr.. Clay's death the
animal seemed to feel that the sum
total Of his entire duty was to protect
me. That at any time he would have
given up his life in my defense I am
perfectly convinced
For nearly a year he had been suf-
fering from blood poison. But not until
he became blind and could no longer eat
did I consent to his merciful deliver
ance from the sorrows of life.
I'VE buried him in our beautiful
cemetery here, as near as we could to
the HldSteI lie iOVeu SO we'll ana only
few feet from the magnificent monu-
ment of the man whom the world
knows as the great American. He was
only a dog, yet bitter tears dropped
over his grave.
when a crushing sorrow darkened
the happy home, when the presence so
kind and dear was seen no more, then
by thousand incontestable signs Doc
evinced his own grief and sympathy.
And how ardently his honest intelli-
ent eyes looked into mine, asking the
question the whole world has been ask
ing for centuries-and vainly
with his brown eyes brilliant with
tears, and pressing his shaggy head
close, he offered all he had to give, un-
wavering devotion. No higher attri-
butte than faithfulnesss was ever be-
