 It must have been some four hundred miles by the old road and canals from Sippara to Susa ;9but 1t was easier travel ling in that region four thousand yeara ago than it is now. for Hammnfebi was strenuous ruler It had taken him thirty years to throw off the yoke of the Elamites. with their capital at susa, and the remaining dozen years of his reign he devoted to consolidating his empire. which now for the first time in histafx united under one rule the whole of Baby. lon and added to it the suzerainfy of Elam. or southern Persia. with Assyria to the north, and even Syria and PaIes- tine as far as the Mediterranean Sea. Being a great statesman as we'll as con, queror, he built roads, dug canals, and into code the decisions which the civil courts had rendered and which had grown out of judges law.
 This fulifobde. sthe most elaborate mnn- ument of early HFcivilization yet discov- cred, he engraved on great stone stelae. and set up in the principal cities of hia realm. where they could be read by all his subjects. There were about two hundred and eighty separate decisions, or edicts. covering the rights of property. inheritance, marriage, divorce, injuries to life or person, rents, wages, slavery, etc. On the stele, following the text Of the laws Hammurabi told his people why he had set up and published this code. It was that justice might be established. and that any one who had a complaint against his neighbor might come and read. the law and learn what were his rights

ROMANCE OF KING PETER.
How the Servian Monarch Won
 Wife.

The Berlin Tageblatt tells the story Of how King Peter won his wife.
 It was in 1878. in one of the many fights between the Montenegrins and Turks, that Prince Peter was serving as a vol unteer when a band of Turkish raiders swooped down on Prince Nicholas's camp, seized his daughter, Zorka, and carried her off.
 Prince Peter Karageorgevitch summon ed his own followers and started in pur- suit He overlook the Turks. who. though numerically stronger, were beaten and put to flight. Thy Prince himself cut down Princess Zorka's captors, and brought her back to camp.
 The Prince of Montenegro was over. whelmed with gratitude. and exclaimed: How can l ever repay this priceless ser vice?'' Before Prince Peter was able to reply. Princess zorka. then a girl of sur Father, give me to him"
 The Princes bravery had taken her heart by storm. He was only too pleased to accept the unconventional proposal It was thus he won his wife.

That this is a theory liable to abuse. it Is not possible to deny At he same time 1t is an ingenious justification of the maxim. which common sense tells us is a just one. that a man Is at full liberty to keep his own secrets safe from impertinent inquiries It Is not impossible that Sir Walter may have taken for his own justification the argument of the great doctor.

One of the criticisms made upon the American people by that keen German observer. Prof Hugo Munsterberg of liar yard University, is the ease with which they are duped by pseudo-scientists, quack doctors, and the like. It is inter esting, therefore. to observe that the German Government has been obliged to undertake an active campaign against the quacks in the empire and that. ac- cording to a Berlin dispatch.

Further, I do think that if Sir Walter once made up his mind to deceive the world in the matter, 1t was really more In accordance with his character-more honest. if the word is not out of place in the conection-to tell a straifhtforward, unhesitating lie than to beat about the bush with evasions that would not have served their purpose and could seem more like trouth only to feeble Judg- ment and a conscience prone to self deception.

The animating principle of ''The Needles Eye" is altruism; our duty to those who. because of inferior social conditions, have no share in our physical and material culture.

The stofJk Of Athens.

5 ]. Art and histor1eaI works should re- ceive greater patronage from the read ing public than they do. This work by Howard Crosby Butler, who is lecturer on architecture at Princeton University, is not only an authority on his special branch of art, but so keen a student of all phases of the great subject and of it's history. that he was eminently well qualified to write on Athens whose treasures and charms have called forth more praise than has fallen to the lot of any city that ever was. .'The story of Athens" is long story and an event. full one to be comprehended within the limits of volume of 500 pages. but Mir. Crosby may with good grace be said to have told 1t admirably from the point of view of those who read. He has been sufficiently antiquarian to satisfy gem eral curiosity, but not sufficiently so to frighten the average reader: and in his disauisitions on art, also. he has allowed himself sufficient technicality of .expres- sion to be thoroughly informing, but not enough to make him at all formidable to the lay reader. He has used the temples and other monuments of Athens as a background against which to sketch the men who lived and moved among these scenes and whose deeds make their sur Ioundings memorable. and the result is an admirable work which no library, pablic or private, should be without The illustrations to the book are very nurner- ous. and selected with fine discretion.- CThe Century Co..
