By ADELE MENpEL.

~Come on to bed, Robert; it's past
midnight" said his roommate, Ken

his curved meerschaum pipe.

Robert, settling himself comfortably

"Her name is Ruth wilson began
Robert. as II he were repeating a
well-known lesson. "She was little

Don't tell me you never went

to fall far short Of the traditional
estimate of either its intrinsic or its
artistic value. We commend this con-
sideration to the ardent searchers In
the Hill of Ophel, should they be per
mitted to resume their interrupted
burrowings-though there is little
enough chance that either they or
anyone else will ever be in position
to reduce the Judean values OF pious
tradition to the hard facts OF a sale
at auction!
It is not likely, however. that DR..
Reisner has undertaken, on behalf or
Harvard University, to excavate In
Palestine under any Illusions OF this
kind. Having long dug In Egypt, on
the rich sites of great civilization,
he is now clearing Samaria for. the
good and sufficient reason that new
light on the history OF the Hebrew
monarchies (whose Importance bears
no relation whatever to their scale)
is to be expected most confidently
from the sites of their capitals. Sa-
maria Is a favorable spot for such
scientific investigation; for although
it can claim nothing like the antiquity
of Jerusalem, its site is not. as Is the
latter's. overbuilt with modern city,
which has disturbed its stratification
with intrusive foundations. appropri-
ated its stones. and rendered many
parts inaccessible. Modern Samaria
lies on small portion only of the
hill which Omri bought, and the rest
is occupied by gardens, orchards and
fields. The extant remains are, OF
course, for the most part, those. not
of Ahab's Samaria, but of Herod's

Very little else OF the pre-cap-

DR.. Reisner, but It is not safe to say
this certainly until he has said II

at all given TO advertising his sue

more intellectually to putting his
method into practice. In the mean
time, the photographs of the Amer
lean colony at Jerusalem, which are
published herewith, can show us the
remains of Roman Sebasteia. which
overlap Samaria-for instance, the
ruined colonnade OF monolithic pill
lars which ran round the crest OF the
hill from the gate to the Forum; the
broad stairway which led dowr
from the summit to the altar OF Roma

interest of the place. however, is lost
by Herods time, and unless Dr.. Refs

market value, SO it is not surprising
to find persons making extra dollars
aud cents from the sale of buttermilk
An enterprising farmers wife living
near Yates Center, Kansas, is not only
deriving a neat income from the sale
of her butter. but she also sells the
buttermilk to one of the principal no.
tets of the town for ten cents per gall
Ion.
Good buttermilk is a wholesome
and refreshing drink the year round,
but its popularity in cities is greatest
during the summer months. when it
is in strong demand at five cents per
glass.
The best buttermilk can be made
only from the best and cleanest care
fully ripened cream.
Nowhere can better buttermilk be
produced than in the well-kept dairy
of a We'll managed farm.
"A twenty pound churning of butter
from average cream will make about
eight gallons of buttermilS worth
from eighty cents up, according to its
quality and the kind OF contract one
is able to make with local restaurants
and hotels. The fresher the butter
milk. the better is its quality and the
more refreshing it seems To build up
a reputation for good buttermilk at
profitable prices, deliver it promptly
IN clean cans and as cold as possible.
