LIKE The HOUSE
THAT JACK BUILT
Brick Baked in Assyria Many
Years Ago Tells the
Whole Story.

An interesting inscription, made upon
sunbaked brick some 200 years ago
by order of Shalmaneser H., King OF
Assyria. has just peen translated into
English by Professor Charles G. Torrey.
of Yale University.
The brick has been in the possession OF
Yale for almost fifty years, but the
ton Is written Is Of a very rude charac-
ter, and previous attempt at transla-
ton in 1870 was only partly successful:
The inscription Is a short eulogy OF the
calculated to remind one Of the old nur-
sery rhyme about 1.-THE House that Jack

However. 1t Is not generally conceded
that the ground for tsupposlng them to be

ton just translated does not throw new
light on the matter.
King Shalmaneser, tho author of the
Inscription, Is known In history as among
the first Assyrlan kings to make captives
of the Hebrews. A description OF his at
tacks upon them is given IN II Kings,
xix and Xxx,
From other sources It Is. evident that
the king was also a practical joker or
a grim sort, He, himself relates in an
other brick, which was presented 70 Iiaie
at the same time with the one recently

tribes. and some Of them he boiled In

the turkey dance" now sometimes seen
at country fairs. the principle OF which
is the we'll known fact that turkey or

when the floor beneath the feet Is hot.
Shalmaneser Is said to have induced his
captives to dance In a similar, manner.
