IN ANCIENT EGYPT.

Back to the DAYS of ancient Egypt
were taken the audiences at the Dit
mann last night. "Ramcscs of Egypt
was the title Of the grand depletion of
the romance in which that monarch dies
for love Of a humble peasant girl. Sc
lime, the embodiment OF the Egyptian
ideal Of womanly beauty loved Ephraim.
a shepherd lad, and, when the king. hav-
ing heard of her, came disguised as a
peasant to WOO, the girl, she scOrned
him. She was taken by force to the pal
ace and kept a prisoner. though in a
gilded prison. Every art was used by
RameSeS to win the love of his beautiful
captive. but in vain. Seine was true
to her shepherd lover, and pinned for
him. Then Ephriam, vOwing vengeance.
came to court to aSSaSSinate the king.
but was captured, knife in hand, and
imprisoned. The king offers to spare
her lovers life. if Selime will become
his queen. Fleeing from the king, the
unhappy girl PUSHES to the temple, her
arms filled with the sacred lotus bios
SONS, which she presents to the statue
Of Isis, and, falling upon her knees.
.prays for her lovers life and freedom
for both. Rameses follows, sees her
graceful form at the -%cdltar.' Despair
and grief shake his form. " Reaizing at

pardons the shepherd and gives them

he sends. Selimc a casket containing a
bloody dagger. At the same moment he
dies, a suicide. .f.lbr
The play from which these pictures
were made was staged with artistic
splendor. The scenes Of the royal
court at Thebes are magnificent. Els
pecially beautiful are the scenes on the
hills, where Ephraim tends his flocks
and meets the lonely Selime. Indeed,
the whole was a succession of beautiful
and interesting scenes, a dream Of old
Egypt, which once dreamed must lingcr
always with the dreamer.
There were other fine films at the Dit
mann also last night, an unusually at
tractive program comprising four reels
of films being presented.

A farmer living in a county not far
from where the writer resides has late
ly figured up the receipts for year
from his herd Of eight Holstein cows.
They gave $4,000 pounds of milk. which
sold for $500, or an average of Sis
per head. This record is not given
because it is exceptional. but because
ii is good-twice as good as the aver
age Of dairy herds the country over.
The owner of this bunch of Holstein
cows knows exactly what each is do
ing In the way Of butter fat production
during the year by weighing the milk
and applying the Babcock test. and he
further knows what the bill Of fare Of
the herd averages during the year. 1t
is fair to assume that the annual feed
bill Of these cows is not far from $50
a head, in which case the owner had
$500 to put in the bank at the end OF
the year.

HEREDITY AND THE EYES.
Blue or Gray Eyed Parents Cannot
Have Brown Eyed Children.

Since tJue and probably gray eyed
parents have no brown pigment in the
outer surface Of the iris they cannot
transmit brown to that portion Of their
children's eyes. This absent character
istic may be one that has been lost or
1t may never have been acquired. 1t
is known in heredlty language as re-
sives produce in their offspring only
their recessive condition.
The hereditary behavior of brown eye
color, however, is very different. In
brown eyes actual pigment occurs in
the iris. Here there is something ac-
cumulated to hand on down to subse-
quent generations. The amount that
can be transmitted, however, depends
on ones own hereditary history as well
as that of ones consort. If both of
Smiths parents belong to brown eyed
strains, then Smith can have only
brown eyes. And since Smith has been
given, as it were, double dose Of
brown his eyes will be dark brown.
Smith will have, in his turn, only
brown eyed children, whatever may be
the color Of his wife's eyes. In the Ian
guage of hereditary, Smiths brown eye
color dominates over blue or gray
When Smiths brown eye color has
been derived from one parent only,
then his own eyes win tend to be light
er in color and only half Of his germ
cells will have the Potentially for max
ing brown eyes. Hence, IL he marries
blue or gray eyed wife, only half Of his
children will have brown eyes, and
light brown, too, because of two gen.
erations of dilution. In case Smiths
wife also has brown eyes derived from
one of her parents only, then three out
of four of their children will have
brown eyes, but only one Of the three
will get double dose OF brown; hence
Smiths brown eyed children will not
all transmit brown in the same degree
Thus it is possible for brown eyed
parent to have one-half or one-quarter
Of his children blue or gray eyed. But
1t is never possible for two blue or
gray eyed parents to have brown eyed

BENNINGTON, VT, May II, 1913.

A case that will be of interest, in
directly at least, to all fishermen
came before the supreme court at
Montpelier this week. William p
Rockwell of Grand Isle is suing Fish
and Game Commissioner John w.
Titcomb of Lyndonville because the
commissioner refused to grant the
plaintiff license to operate a seine
during the open season in Lake
Champlain. Because of the commits
sioner's refusal the plaintiff claims
that he sustained loss of $500. In
the lower court a verdict was order
ed for the defendant with COSTS
The case went to the supreme court
on exceptions by the plaintiff whose
attorney claims that the act which
permitted SEEMING in Lake Champlain
made it compulsory upon the COM
missioner to issue a license to every
inhabitant of the state who should
make application and pay the proper
fee. The circumstances in this in
dividual case and the reasons for the
commissioners refusal to grant a Ii
cense are not known to the writer
who is far from favorably disposed
toward the SEEMING law, anyhow. At
the same time not a few persons will
endorse the position taken by the
plaintiffs attorney, that if sein-
ing is to be permitted that the priv
ilege should be accorded to every
applicant. The decision of the
supreme court will be awaited with
considerable interest.

APPRAlSING HUMAN LIFE.
Cash Value of Man as Computed by
LEGAL Decisions.

That human life is cheap would
appear from a study undertaken by
we'll known lawyer of the legal deci-
sions handed down in this country
with reference to the cash value of
a man.
it is estimated that at ten years of
age boy of the laboring class is
worth $2.061.42; at fifteen. $4,263.46;
at twenty-five, $5,4Ss03, from which
time the decline is steady. man of
seventy by this legal decision scale,
rating at only $1713. BY the same
practical method of computation one
eye is worth $4,000; one leg. $4,000;
two legs. $4,000; one arm. $4,000;
one hand, $4,000; one finger, $500.
and permanent disability, $25, 900. This.
it is pointed out, is merely an average
as far as decisions have been exam
ined.
Ii should be added that the estimates
of the value of a mans life are based
son an idea not of his value to him
self. but of his value to the commu-
nifty. The figures in individual cases
would vary greatly with reference to
the fact whether or not the persons
death caused hardship to others who
were dependent upon him.
The value of man to himself is, it
is further pointed out. unimportant
after he is dead from legal point of
view. His value to society at large
cannot be considered in Il cash esti-
mate since that kind of value depends
upon other than physical resources.
His value TO those who look to him for
support can alone be estimated on the
material side-New York Press.
