Golden Key Of Brick.

Prof Stephen H. Langdon, an Ok
ford specialist In old-world lore. is
coming here to examine the "Sumer-
ian" tablets In the museum Of the
University Of Pennsylvania. This heap
of brick fragments is esteemed as Of
more value than its weight in dia-
monds. Scientists the world over have
an eye upon this precious pile. 1t is
composed Of what are known as Baby
lonian tablets-little oblong tiles of
ridged and sun-baked clay so ancient
and weather-beaten they would never
be noticed among the mortar scraps
Of an old Philadelphia house disman-
tied. Yet these museum treasures dug
up from Nippur and other burial spots
of ancient libraries situate III the
neighborhood Of modern Bagdad con-
tain the secret of remotest civiliza-
ton. In them lies the golden key to
knowledge of the most primitive COM
merce, sciences and arts, possibly In
Guiding the invention of figures and
letters and the first attempt at max
ing Observation-Disclosures Press.

InvaIId,s Sweet Patience.

Who does the most complaining in
this world? Not the invalids. For
hours on hours they lie there, secretly
resolving, Let me make myself less
a sorrow to others than l was yester-
day" And these are the victories,
grander far than those Of war. When
these moral conquests are extended
over months, perhaps years, the heroic
sufferers room often becomes a cham
Der of comfort to all who are unhappy.
What a triumph when to the chair Of
some grand martyr come the friends
of a wide circle that her gentle hand
may wipe away their tears. These are
the uncrowned queens Of our race. In
almost every home there is a name
above every name-that Of the sweet
and patient invalid

CHURCH SELLS FOR ST

One dollar for an old church was
the bid offered few days ago, at Clair
fontaine. q delightful place near Ram
bouillet. France. The edifice is of a
quaint Romance architecture and was
put up for sale recently. The only bid
received for 1t was the small amount
mentioned. Since then the offer still
remains open and a new bid has been
made raising the sum to $1.65. The
mayor and the cure are wondering
what will be the next offer. A letter
written to the Paris papers by the vii
lage magistrate says that intending
purchasers may If they like also secure
the ground on which the church stands
and which faces beautiful avenue OF
sycamores. Only the price of the
ground. like that of the old church.
remains to be bargained for. The rea-
son why the church is to be sold seems
to be that 1t can no longer be kept up.
So. at least. the cure appears to say.
The members OF the congregation are
too poor to pay for the repairs.

TELLS HOW 1T FEELS TO DIE
Kansas City Man Declares It is Just
Like Peacefully Going to
Sleep.

Kansas City. Mo.-"Yes, I knew 1
was dying. but could not help 1t, and
1t was not such a bad feeling after
all.& This is the way George Luker,
then in hospital here. described his
journey beyond the portals of the
valley of the shadows" from which
he was rescued by the use of the pull
moter In the hands Of pair OF ener-
getic physicians. He was found on a
street curb. dead to all appearances,
but was taken to a hospital. where
after six hours work with the ma
chine that induces artificial respira-
ton, he began showing signs of re-
turning life, and finally recovered
enough to tell of his experiences.
II do not know what happened to
me-" he explained In a weak voice.
Il was going down the street when 1
suddenly felt myself getting weak, and
then remember sinking to the side
walk. There was no one near. as it
was late at night on lonely thor
oughfare. but l did not care.
II knew l was dying, but 1t was
not bad feeling. / simply slid OF to
rest. The noise of the world grew
DINNER and DINNER. and finally all
was quiet. 1t was Just like sinking
into the unconsciousness of sleep on
soft bed when you are fearfully
tired"
Speaking OF his feeling when
brought back to life by the pulmotor's
work. Luker said: Il did not have
any feeling after everything became
quiet. until l experienced the sensa-
ton of someone being near me. It
seemed as II I were up on high and
was gradually coming back to earth.
At first could only hear faint sounds,
then the voices came nearer. Finally
/ opened my eyes and saw strangers.
and then l did not think. about any
thing else. because was very sick.
The hospital physicians believe Lux
er suffered an attack OF heart trouble
When brought into the hospital, his
body was blue and failed to show
single sign of life. But after 90 cubic
feet OF oxygen had been pumped into
his lungs by the pulmotor he revived.

Leaving Out the item. y

Davenport Democrat: A Bethlehem,
Pa. woman recently asked that no
mention of her death be made in the
papers. and the result was that her
request was mentioned in 2I,744 Amer.
lean newspapers, and they are still
passing the item along the line.
The incident points out the truth
that so many people fail to realize,
that the best way to avoid being con-
spicuous is to leave the newspapers
free to treat you just as they treat
everybody else.
The person who wants the death OF
a relative of prominence dismissed
with four-line announcement, Is In
wiling comment just because such a
course is entirely unusual. The man
or woman who wants this and that
Item left out OF the paper" Is simply
starting the neighbors to wondering
why 1t didn't appear, and to DISCUSSING
1T across the table at the cafe or In
the sewing circle.
Don't feel that 1t makes ron unduiy
conspicuous to have your name appear
in print. The person whose name
doesn't get into print nowadays either
isn't doing much or is proper object
of suspicion
