Personal SeIfishness.

From the Springfield Republican.
 In respect for the rights of others de- clining factor In American life? The very question is disturbing. whether it is ap- piled to the nation, to the qualifications of business operations or to the thought and the actions of individuals. The observing person who travels even a little is struck by what appears to be the pervaslve in- sistence of selfshness as 1t seeks personal advantage and comfort with too little chivalric regard for others. Difference to age and to women is so little in evidence that we may well wonder if the gentle man of the old school' is long to survive, or even now exists on the highways of travel. Much is lost when the patience and the beauty of courtesy fall away-to society as a whole. and to the individuals who compose 1t. Care for number one' has to be exercised-each must engineer for himself; but due thought can be taken for the individual and the family without emitting all regard for the equal rights that belong to others. Out of kindness Is born the gentleman or the gentlewoman. and when kindness gets knocked out by sefishness. moral grace departs and the beauty of idealism is lost. and all the amelioration of life's hard conditions which 1t brings.

OLDEST GOSPELS LOCATED.
Two English Sisters to Lecture or
 Their Great Biblical Discovery.

From a New York Letter
 Mrs Agnes Smith Lewis and Mrs. Mar garet Dunlap Gibson of Cambridge Eng land. are in New York to lecture on a great Biblical discovery, for which the University of Heidelberg recently upset all traditions by comforting degrees on the two women. They discovered what is known among scholars as the Lewis Palimpsest. This is a Syrac version of the four gospels pronounced to be the oldest manuscript of the gospels yet dis covered.
 The earliest known date for a manu- script of the gospels before this discov- cry was 1BO A. D., the date of Tatian diatessaron. Hjelt, the Swedish phlologist backed by the German critics, declares or pathological grounds that the discovery made by the two English women throws the date of the earliest known manuscript of the gospels far back of that year.
 Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Gibson. who arc twin sisters made caravan trip of nine days in the heart of the Arabian de- sert to find this manuscript. They dis covered it in a Greek monastery, almost as old as the Christian era, built on the side of Mount Sinai, eighty miles from the nearest building-a strange old jun ble of towers and dungeons fortified by the Roman emperor. Justinian, in the Fifth century, and known to have existed 200 years before that.
 A palimpsest is parchment from which one writing has been erased to make room for another In this pallmpsest the second writing, clear and bold was "The Lives of Holy Women" Between the lines and on the margin of this queer rambling old record could be detected the faint tracery of an earlier writing, erased to make room for the second on the pre- cious vellum. With the passage of time the oxygen of air combined with the iron of the ink had made it again visible.
 There they were the four gospels, la boriously set down in Syriac by some early Christian of Palestine within 150 years after the crucifixlon, afterward erased by some old medieval monk to make room for his Lives of Holy Women" This work was photographed page by page.
 The sisters bought quantity of old writings from a dealer in Jaffa, among which Dr. Schecter then of Cambridge university, found the first leaf of The original manuscript of the Book of Ec- clesiastes" written 200 B. c. This led to recovery of other parts of the manuscript Previously there had existed only Greek and syriac transations of Ecclesiastes.

Spanish Friendliness

Captain T. Bentley Mott. United States
 Army. in Scribner's
 Speaking of Spanish officers reminds me of the misapprehension that con tinues even today among our people con corning their hostility toward us As a matter of fact, an American army officer will not find anywhere in Europe more genuine and cordial courtesy than from lem. It may come from long inheri- tance in this grave and courtly nation' or spring from the real absence of any sustained enmity toward the people who have Brought them much suffering, but where aImy officers are concerned it un- doubtedly takes it's source in that senti- ment which was as spontaneous at San tiago as at Fontenoy and which forms real and unconscious brotherhod among military men of all nations in both peace and war.
