is OLDEST ATTIC LETTER
MlssIve That Gives Glimpse Of Man.
ners and Customs In Demos
thenes' Time.

A little leaden tablet, tarnished.
ugly and otherwise trivial in appear
apce. was sent few years ago from
Athens to the Imperial museum OF
Berlin, the Scientific American says.
On one side of 1t was some writing
which only recently was deciphered
with precise correctness by Adolph
Wilhelm. an Austrian savant. who
lives in Athens The tablet is the
original of private letter that was
written about the time of the orator
Demosthenes.
The writer of the letter lived in a
rural neighborhood and wished to send
a commercial order to a town, The
form of the address was: ITO be
taken to the pottery market and to be
handed to Nausias. or to Thrasykies.
or to the son" (perhaps the son of the
writer was meant). The weekly mar
ket, to which the Attic countrymen
had gone to offer their produce and
wares for sale. may be imagined In
progress. There the boy who was
bearer of the letter was to find the
stand or booth of one of the three per-
sons to whom 1t was addressed and
deliver it to him. The text of the let
ter says: "Mnesiergoes greets you
cordially, he greets your family with
the same esteem and wishes them
good health, and he says also that his
own health Is good. Please be SO kind
as to send me mantle, either of
sheepskin or of goatskin, and let 1t be
as cheap as possible, for 1t does not
need to be trimmed with fur. Send
with pair of heavy soles also. AS
soon as l have an opportunity I will
pay you"
So much for the letter, to the mo-
tive of which the reader can point
with as much precision as the author.
Apparently 1t was written in winter,
poor Mnesiergos having been surprised
out in the open country by one of
those icy snowstorms which sometimes
even at this day cover the temples of
Acropolis with mantle of snow.
Therefore he desired to receive as
quickly as possible the heavy and
warm garment of the poorer country
men. goatskin, which could be
bought for Az drachms, and the
strong soles which were worn under
the ordinary sandals on the rural
plains and hillsdes. A good pair Of
the latter could be bought for four
drachmas. as well-preserved bill of
that date shows.
A noteworthy feature of this artless
letter is the formula that may be found
used In very numerous letters that
were preserved by the Greek literature
of later times. Even at the present
day every letter written by a rural
Greek begins with the same cordial
inquiry about the health of the person
to whom the letter Is written and with
the brief information about the health
of the writer.

Foolish Filings at Farmer.

There is no form of idiocy that
makes me madder than does the at
tempt Of stage comedian to make
a joke at the expense of the modern
farmer" says Fred Storm. THE
chances are that the farmer the butt
of the alleged joke, has ten dollars
where the so-called comedian has ten
cents. and that he is much better
educated man.
81 was in a playhouse the other
night with farmer friend from Men,
tor. when one of these comedians
came out and sang silly song about
the poverty and persistency of the
man on the farm.
My farmer friend smiled innocent
iy. 'Wellu' he said. my farm brought
me in over $4,000 last year and my
wife and have just expended $500 on
a trip to California. That may be
poverty and parsimony. but those

REALLY A MOONLIGHT SONATA
Beethoven's Beautiful Music Com
posed Under the Rays of the
Queen OF Night.

The story runs that Beethoven's
Moonlight sonata-always SO called.
though he SO rarely gave descrip-
tive name to any Of his works-was
composed on an occasion when he had
been playing to some stranger folk by
chance. Walking with friend he
overheard In an humble house some
one playing with much feeling bit
of one of his sonatas. He paused to
listen In moment the music ceased
and girl spoke longingly of her wish
to hear some really good concert. The
voice was so appealing that the COM
poser stepped without hesitation to
the door and knocked. Admitted to
the wondering host. he said: 81 will
play for you." and played wonderful
ly till The lamp burned out. Then
with the moonlight filling the room he
began to improvise-the mysterious
delicate breathings of the beginning
of that wonderful sonata, then the
tricksy elf-like second part and the
glory Of the close.

Clothes a. Viewed by scientist.

Now the scientists are making a
careful study of our clothes. The ear
liest garment was probably the shawl,
which was also used as a petticoat.
Make two rows of stitches up the
middle of the petticoat, give one long
cut between them and you have trou-
sers. The band on a mans hat is a
survival of the fillet wherewith the
shawl was bound over the head. The
Scotch cap. the bishops inter and the
little boys sailor hat with their tails
and the bonnet strings can be referred
to the same origin. The little bow in
the hat lining at the end of the lacing
had Its origin in the time when there
were no one-eighth sizes and head
coverings could be laced In or let out
according to the size Of the wearer's
head.
Men IN uniform wear their feathers
on the left side, because when plumes
were first used and men drew their
swords more frequently they did not
want them to get mixed with their
feathers. The cooked hat probably
began when hats were 80 large that
they were looped up and the habit
then became permanent The helmet
of the modern fireman has hardly al.
tered since the Greeks.

eral,

The only thing that has never be-
come common is common sense. II
remains rare when all other qualities
can be picked up by the wayside.
Half the dictionaries do not attempt
to define it, so elusive is the trait, the
New York Evening Sun says. Per-
sons hazily say: "Comon sense Is
horse sense" and vaguely feel that
they have somehow failed to state
fully its exact characteristics. num-
Der of instances can be cited where
common sense was displayed, and
quite lot of persons claim distant
relatives who were generally supposed
to possess the quality. But this Is
about as near to it as it is possible to
get. Geniuses are all over everything;
one Is obliged to step carefully to
avoid treading on them. Poets, poll
ticians, reformers, men of mark
they block traffic. and as for play
wrights and novelists and singers.
1t is as much as one can do to
breathe, they so clog the atmosphere.
Only common sense is unusual, and by
It's skittishness prompts us to find it.
1t may have been killed out in the
large centers by the reigning passion
for phraseology. A certain homeli-
ness and succintness is a necessary
accompaniment of common sense;
home truth crudely-a little rudely-
expressed, with crumbs of subsoil
clinging to it. A touch of nature.
bluntly applied to artificial complica-
tions, sending them hurrying about
their business. This type of speech,
which is to say type of mind, perhaps
exists in the quiet corners of the
earth, parts where they nasally ejac-
ulate, mo tomfoolishness around
here" Yet common sense is not
mental dialect. 1t is rudimentary
mode of thought, simple vision, and
we in the big cities are barely ac-
quainted with 1t because we find sim
plicity woefully dull. To speak sim
ply, one must have something to say;
and if one depends upon the matter
there are apt to be tiresomely long
pauses between talks Consequently
we console ourselves with method and
though we have nothing to say, we
make point of saying it excessively
well. We alorn it until one cannot
be quite sure that it does not under
Its charm of phrase mean something.
At any rate, the form is too good to
ever break 1t and brutally search its
kernel. So common sense retains its
rarity and though one knows so little
about it one has a strong feeling that
there is very slight possibility Of
its ever becoming really common.

Tho True Cure.

There are two ways of dealing with
the evils in the world which we Justly
deplore and wish to abolish-one to
attack and try to break them down
forcibly; the other. to dissolve or ex-
hale them by the active presence of
good. The former of these methods
appears SO much the more direct and
obvious that 1t generally gains the
first place in our attention. We see a
wrong and our impulse is to crush it;
we see an injustice and we long to
exterminate 1t; we observe an unright-
eous institution and we desire to
overthrow 1t. The slower and less di-
rect method Of overcoming evil with
good, of substituting better way for
that which is bad. of devoting the
same energy to building up that we
would have given to the work of tear
ing down. obtains gradual hold over
US only with time and experience.

Was Bent on Getting 1t.

On the night of the hundredth per-
formance of one of the seasons most
popular plays a frail tired, hungry
looking little woman approached the
box office and asked for 50-cent
seat. around at the side office for
50-cent tickets" the man told her,
but believe there isn't one to be
had"
Around she went to the side office
and was there told that there wasn't
a seat in the gallery left. She was
loath to go away and sauntered to the
front Of the theater again. From one
speculator to another she passed. al
ways asking for a 5O-cent seat and
always receiving the reply that she
could have good seat for anything
from 81 up.
But l haven't dollar." she walled.
Then, after long silence. when she
had scanned the face of each specula-
tor again. a happy thought came to
her. In a loud voice. so that all
might hear her. she exclaimed,
Hasn't anybody got a seat to stand
In for SO cents?"

Nothing Useless In Nature.

The professor in the agricultural
college was lecturing to his class upon
the wonderful advance of science in
utilizing the so-called waste products
of nature. without taking into ac-
count" he said, ''the work of our
wizards. who can convert the thorny
cactus into an edible plant, effect a
permanent change in the color, size
and taste Of berry or any other kind
of fruit and, all within the space OF
few years. chemistry has shown us
that the sage-brush and other weeds
heretofore considered worse than
useless contain valuable substances
which can be extracted in sufficient
quantity to pay for raising them. Our
most advanced investigators are COM
ing rapidly to the conclusion that
there is nothing useless in nature and
that everything that grows or exists
can be pressed into the service Of
mankind" "Then, professor" enthu-
siastically exclaimed one of the boys
in the class. perhaps they'll find a
use some day for the Ben Davis

She walks In beauty like the night,

hair. She must have toiled through
half day to build that large, un-
wieldy mass: she must have used a
bale of hay. and strips of tin, and
wire of brass; her sisters must have
helped to braid. her mother wrought
and tinkered there, and butler, cook
and chambermaid all helped to wrestle
with her hair. And after all the
grinding toll and all the braiding and
the fuss, the one effect is Just to spoil
her beauty and make people cuss. She
