Sun for a BIotter.

1t is only within recent years that
we have been able to obtain any reli-
able information regarding the social,
political and religious conditions that
surrounded the great founder Of the
Hebrew race while he dwelt in Ur.
Here he married Sarah and here he
was surrounded by his friends and
relatives, including Lot, his nephew,
who was his companion in his later
journeyings. Here he was surround
ed by heather population worship
ing Bel (Baal and Belts, his consort,
and other gods. Here he must fire.
quently have seen the splendor of
Babylonian royalty and the idolatrous
worship of heather gods. Here also
he must have been conversant with
Babylonian literature and familiar
with the wedge-shaped cuneiform writ
ing in which all business and official
correspondence was then conducted.
These writings were done with a sty-
lus of hard wood or metal with a
square end. This was pressed on
the soft clay, which was then hard
ened either by sun-drying or baking.
These tablets were the standard writ
ing materials-the stationery-of that
far-off age.-Christian Herald.

ANClENTS KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early Inhabitants Of Mex
leo Used Process In the Manu-
facture Of Pottery.

The discovery by Henry c. Mercer
OF Daylestown. Pa. that the ancient
inhabitants of Mexico used a glazing
process In the manufacture of their
pottery has revolutionized the views
of ceramic experts at the University
OF Pennsylvania, and may lead, says
American Art News, to the discovery
of beds Of clay suitable for use today
Mr.. Mercer, who is an expert on til
ing and a former curator of the Uni
versity museum, during a recent study
Of Mexican potteries at the museum,
had his attention called to the vari-
ance in workmanship in certain col
lections. He promptly classified the
potteries as possessing two different
kinds of clay, and was surprised to
find that distinct glaze was still ap-
parent.
The ancient Egyptians, says Mr.
Mercer, did not glaze their works, the
Chinese adopting this precaution at a
later date to make their vessels i'm
pervious to water. Civilization had
been established by this time, how
ever, and the use Of the glazing art
by prehistoric Mexicans may unfold
interesting ceramics.

The department OF agriculture dur
Ing 1913. under an appropriation of
congress. distributed approximately
$1,000 packages OF droughtresistant
field seeds. Each OF these packages
contained a sufficient quantity of seed
to plant one acre, and this when sue

for much larger area the following
year. The crops included in this dis
trbution were improved hardy and

Cured throughout almost the entire
growing season, these crops came to
maturity and furnished forage where
practically all other crops failed.
Seeds of these varieties are at the
present time greatly In demand and

Amraoti and Bangalia varieties of

The most promising and immediate
results that are expected from the

crops are the establishment in general
use of two valuable crops-Feterita

strains of alfalfa which virtually will

Seeds of these new crops are not as

IN MANY parts of the Northwestern
states there is promise of an abund-
ant crop of straw. This means
prolonged season of threshing, even
though the weather should prove ia
vorable for such work. Should It
prove unfavorable the season is pro-
portionately still further prolonged
In such an eventuality loss will fol-
low to a greater or less extent, as
it did in the autumn of 1917. Is IT
not the duty of every farmer to pre-
pare for such contingency? How
can he do it? He can do it in part at
least by stacking part OF the grain.
In the Northwestern states the
practice of threshing from the shock
is almost universal. 1t is the out
come first of the dry character of the
weather which usually occurs at har-
vest time and subsequently, and Sec
ond of the less labor involved in the
handling of the grain. But when the
growth of straw is unusually abund-
ant, there is always some hazard in
Cured, as the threshing of the grain
must in such a case cover very long
period.
That such a result must follow can
be easily shown. Usually the number
of threshing outfits is only suffi-
Gent to do the work in a normal sea-
son. That season only covers some
eight to ten weeks. This means, how
ever, that some of the grain must
stand in the shock for many weeks
before it is threshed, and this is al
ways attended with more or less OF
loss. A heavy crop of straw will mean
that some Of the grain must remain
in the shock for a much longer pc
Rod. 1t will also mean that the loss
will be increased. And if the weather
proves bad 1t will be still further in
creased.
This hazard may be materially re-
duced by stacking part of the crop,
even though it should prove impossi-
BILE to stack it all. The portion
stacked, If well stacked, is safe from
hazard. It may be threshed In the
late autumn even after the ground has
frozen. The land from which the

Very little Is known about the ruby

whence come nearly all the large ru-
bies. The valley lies through a forest
which is seldom trodden by white peo-

have laid out polo ground. and be-

The diggings are slowly eating up the
village. and the main street is already
half destroyed. The work goes on all
day and all night. the ruby bearing
earth being brought up in iron trolleys.
A few strangers who have called at
the mines have been told by the Off.
Gals that they can keep any ruby they
may find. but no one has ever been able
to find one. The gems are imbedded
in the gold colored clay which stretch
es along the whole Of the valley. and it
is only after the earth has been wash
ed that the rubies are seen.

When They Stoned Actors.

Authors and actors of today have
reason to congratulate themselves upon
the disuse Of many Of the ancient
Greek methods of showing dissatisfac-
ton in the theater. The worst that
playwright must reckon with now is an
ironical cry of Author followed by
boOing demonstration. But it is on rec
ord that the Athenian audience at least
once forcibly elected an unsuccessful
comic poet from the theater. The pelt-
ing of bad actors with vegetables and
questionable eggs is rare now even In
the remotest provinces. But the Athen-
ians did not draw the line at figs and
olives as missiles. Aeschines was said
nearly to have been stoned to death
during his stage career, and there is a
story of second rate musician who
