writing in Bible Times.

Professor Flinders Petrie says that
there is nothing abnormal, nothing to
be questioned, in the general outlines
Of the Bible story of the exodus. He
contends that the spread Of writing in
those days has been enormously un-

1T is my firm conviction he says,
that the Europe of century ago
was far more illiterate than the East
ern world in Bible times. We have,
for instance, papyrus containing a

"Dowager" Going Ont.

The word "dowager" seems to be
going quite out of fashion, and many
who should SO style themselves prefer
to use instead their Christian names.
Strictly speaking, the mother of a
married peer or baronet is the dow
ager, but 1t has become the custom
when two ladies bear the same title
% call the elder one by her Christian
anne, the distinction dowager being
s,ropped altogether.
At court, however, all widows of
peers and baronets are styled dowager
when the peer or baronet regnant is
married. The Christian name was
adopted some years ago in cases
where there were more than two la
dies bearing the same title, in order
to make a distinction between the
dowager and the wife of the holder
OF the title, and the innovation has
become SO popular that peeresses and
baronets' wives who should style
themselves dowager elect to be known
by their Christian names. Thus the
widow of the late Earl of Dudley is
known as Georgiana Lady Dudley,
hut actually she is Dowager Lady
Dudley London Court Journal.

UNDERGROUND WATER SUPPLY.
How the Snow of the Himalayas Feeds
India Deserts.


Some of the most curious phenom-
ena of the world are the underground
water supplies existing beneath des-
erts
In the Rajputana deserts water is
held in vast quantities in sandstone
beds under the scorched surface and
is drawn up from it's walls in the
midst of weary, almost rainless
waste of sand, and depends on these
hidden cisterns for its very existence.
Whence it comes, where is the out
fall and what quantity runs under
the baked sand remain mystery. In
one well at Bikaner it has been as
certained that the water supply is
equal to 10000 gallons an hour,
which is held to point to the conclu-
sion that there is an enormous sub
terranean flow and that the snow fed
rivers of the Himalayas must be the
source.
People in Bikaner say that pieces
of wood dropped into one well have
come up in another. The idea of an
underground river opens up a wide
range, of possibilities to the imagina-
ton and we shall look with interest
for further investigations. Times Of

COLLEGE. NOT FATAL,
ASSERTS CANNON.
"Bright Young Man May Suc-
coed in Spite Of Handicap OF
Learning He Writes to Yale.

ITO bright young man who has
anything in him college course is
not necessarily fatal to success. That
is MY view of it, says Speaker Can
non in a discussion in the Yale News
of the value of college education.
He continues:
THE common school systematic
high school course gives the aver
age individual at least fair equipment
for practical success in business or in
the various callings that men follow
who live by the sweat Of their faces.
That is about all that the average
man will utilize.
There is always a question as to
whether the average student will sur
vive the spelling effects of college
course.
But there are great many stu
dents who accomplish something
along the specialties, as there are a
great many of them who accomplish
something practical in business and
politics, notwithstanding the burden
OF bearing collegiate course.
THE human animal, on the aver
age, is not worth his salt if he is inca
pable of making his own way.
THE greater reward comes in bust
ness, not in politics. A good business
man is much better off than poor
politician. The business man has bet
ter chance for advancement and re-
ceives greater remuneration.
