A Mortgage Under Cleopatra,

OF all the numerous Egyptian pa
pyri dating from the Graeco-Roman
period and preserved in the British
Museum none can be said to be of
greater interest than those throwing
light on the social conditions and man
ners and customs of the period. Many
OF these documents are mortgages,
bills of sale and marriage contracts.
OF the first named class a very inter-
esting one dated in the twentieth year
of Cleopatra and Ptolemy Las recent
ly been published by DR.. Nathaniel
Reich. 1t appears that 6 shepherd
named Menthu and his mother, Ia
usir, finding themselves In difficulties,
mortgaged their field to woman
named Etc for the sum of $50 pieces
of silver, which they promised to re-
pay in eight months time with inter-
est. In case Of failure of this condi-
ton they are willing to forfeit the
field without further trouble or obli-
cation. After giving the measure

its boundaries the document is at

Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont has written
an article entitled, How Can Women
Get the Suffrage?" which appeared In
the current issue of the Independent.
In it she sets forth her reasons for
believing in the final victory of the
cause and tells how to get the votes
in the quickest way.
Zone fact may be accepted" she
says, that women intend to have the
suffrage. There are very few of the
most bitter opponents who do not
admit the most they can hope for is
to defer as long as possible what they
choose to term the evil day when
women shall vote
Zone of the highest dignitaries said
to me recently, OF course, we know
that woman suffrage is inevitable;
the only question is how soon it will
come This is the sole point at issue
now between the suffragists and anti
uffragists-when will women get the
ballot?"
Mrs. Belmont replies to this ques-
ton herself by saying the quickest
method for suffragists to pursue is to
awaken public interest, to gain the
assistance of men and to create a sit
uation which will bring publicity to
the cause through the newspapers.

"Chantecler" Profits.

200, 900 to 100000 copies of its three
francs fifty confines edition of Cham
tecler," and the weekly ILLUSTRATION
is paying M. Rostand for the serial
rights thereof a sum which the most
conservative reports set at $4,000
francs an act-that is, 100000 francs
in all. Furthermore, the publishing
house of Pierre LATTE has purchased
for a sum which it is safer, perhaps,
not to specify, but which is admitted
to be large, the right to issue a de
luxe illustrated edition of Rostand' 8

sum paid for serial rights by Lon

They Do It Better in Greece

Views of divorce which an English
clergyman has just expressed have
drawn high encomiums from sundry
divorced women in town who have
grown reticent about their ages and
have given up having birthday par
ties. 1--WE ought to have the divorce
law that was enforced in ancient
Greece" the preacher said. 'If a
certain old Greek clause were tackled
to every separation, I am persuaded
that divorces would fall OF sixty to
seventy per cent. This law was that
when a man got divorce he could
not, under any circumstances, marry
another woman younger than his for
mer wife. An innocent law, brief
law, not much to look at-but how
many divorce suits would be nipped
in the bud If all husbands knew that
after the separation they could not
marry younger women than the wives
they had cast off?"-New York
