Putty Blower vs.. Small Boy.

The young son Of Mr. and Mrs. Teitz.
Of Washburn street. met with a pain
ful accident last Sunday, while de-
scending the stairs at his home. The
little fellow was coming down the
stairway with a putty blower in his
mouth, when he tripped on some OBJ
staclc and was precipitated to the floor
below with much force. Someone hear
ing him fall ran to his assistance and
found blood flowing very freely from
his mouth.
DR.. l.. II. Gibbs was hastily sum
moned and found that the putty
blower which he held in his mouth
when he fell, had been forced into the
delicate mucous membrane lining OF
the mouth, cutting it quite severely.
No serious results are anticipated.

pilots: ExcIusixje Club,

The Sandy Hook Pilots club is not
in the social register, yet it is the most
exclusive club in New York. You
might apply for admission to member
ship now, but you wouldn't get in for
ten or twelve years-and you would be
more fortunate than some present
members If you got in even then. For,
unlike the Authors club, which is not
all author, or the Golf club, which is
not entirely golfer, or the athletic club,
which is not wholly athlete. the Pilot
club is all pilot. And to be pilot you
must serve, first, two years before the
mast, then six years as an apprentice
on pilot boat, then one or two years
as pilot. So that, usually twelve years
pass before pilot gets full license.

CHE Croubie in VirSinia.

Virginia has a state constitutional
convention in session. 1t was called
primarily to regulate the suffrage
question. but the question of sectarian-
ism became involved and its settle
ment required much effort.
The present constitution of Virginia
recognizes religion by describing it as
the duty which we owe to. our Gre
ator." The manner of discharging
this duty, it says, should be directed
only by reason and conviction, not by
force and violence" Therefore, all
men are entitled to free exercise Of
religion according to the dictates Of
conscience. Then comes this para
graph:
"And that 1t is the mutual duty of
all to practice Christian forbearance.
love and charity toward each other"
A leading member of the convention,
in the interest of nonsectarianism,
moved to strike the word Christian"
out of this paragraph. On this ques-
ton Rabbi E. N. Calisch, distin-
guished Jewish scholar. was invited to
address the convention. He spoke with
persuasive eloquence and sharply ana
lyzed the phraseology of the section.
He said that the use of the word I'M
der discussion made the section con-
tradict its own terms.
Other speakers said that the phrase
Christian forbearance" was entirely
destitute of sectarian significance
that it was as unsectarian as the
phrase, Mosaic meekness." or "Mil-
tonic simplicity" or "Websterian elo-
quence." But the other argument pre-
vailed and the entire clause was elm
mated, leaving only the definition of
religion and the declaration for free,
dom of conscience.

BABYLONIAN EXPLORATIONS.
Discovery of Great Temple Library OF
City Of Nippur.

Discovery OF Great Temple Library OF
City Of Nippur
Prof. Hilprecht Of the University OF
Pennsylvania, the Babylonian exp,or-
er. has discovered the Great Temple
library Of the ancient city Of Nippur,
which was destroyed by the Elumnites
in the year 22S B. c. For eleven years
the professor has been exploring the
mounds of ancient Nippur, the city
that antedated Babylon by centuries as
the capital of Babylonia. Within the
past year he has found among those
prehistoric ruins the library of the
Temple of Nippur. This is the first
Babylonian temple library that has
ever been discovered, and 1t contains
the oldest and most important records
of the earliest civilization Of which
even an echo has come down to our
own age. Already $4,000 volumes
have been taken from the ruins, and 1t
is expected that many more thousands
will be recovered. Inscribed on clay
tablets in the cuneiform characters
which the explorations of Nineveh and
Egypt have made familiar to archaeo-
logical students, these literary works
of men who lived 5000 years before
the Christian era began include die
tionaries, architectural plans, histori-
cal and chronological data, legal and
commercial as well as religious liter
ature, that bear witness to the form
and pressure OF time" in which Abra-
ham lived. They also show, says Prof.
Hilprecht, that ages before the reputed
appearance of Adam man was not only
existing but that developed a high
state of civilization. comparable In all
it's essential points with that which we
ourselves possess.
