HUGO TAUGHT THEM PEACE
To impress This Principle, the Great
French Writer Gave Children
Dolls and Seats.

Paris.-Leo Claretie has discovered
at Guernsey. where Victor Hugo
lived, several manuscript copies of the
speeches made by the great French
writer at the dinners for poor children
which he used to give every fortnight
about Christmas time. For each mar
ty a large Christmas tree was pre-.
pared and on it was a gift for each
child. Here are the notes Hugo used
for one Of his addresses:
My dear little children: Among
the toys to be given you, you will find
neither guns. cannons, swords or 9TH
er murderous weapons, or anything
else which might give you the idea OF
war or destruction. War is an abom-
Unable thing; men of all countries are
made for loving, not for killing. one
another.
Among the toys that I offer You the
little girls viii find dolls. excellent
which viii commence to fit
them for the role Of motherhood which
they will play later in their lives. For
the boys there are little boats. little
and in fact everything
which will present the idea of work
and progress. and not that of destruc- /
ion, to their intelligences."

the Lydian language. There has as
yet been no published account Of the
translation Of these ancient docu-

When Professor Butler organized
and conducted the first archaeological
expedition into Syria the only iRdi-
cations of the ancient city were two
stone pillars protruding about fifty
feet out of the sand. Now, after Pro-
lessor Buffers fourth expedition, the
greater part of the old city is exposed.
owing to the depth to which the tenn

work was carried on under rather haz-
ardous conditions, for the great mass
es OF fallen column drums often
threatened to pitch down some fifty
feet upon the native laborers.
AT the end Of last seasons work the
entire ground plan and much of the
supeNtructure OF the temple were Wis

the temple is of pure white marble and
presents an imposing ruin, gigantic in
scale and very beautiful in detail. The
temple seems to hare been undergoing

Finds OLD TEMPLE
Prof. 2utlef Unearths The An
Gent Temple of ATtemis.
Inscriptions In Lydisn and Aramalc
Found on Walls Nay Help scIsnt-
lsts to Deciphsr Unknown
Lydian Language.

New Eork-Prof. Howard Crosby
Butler, head CT the archaeological de-
! partment Of Princeton university, has
attained remarkable results in his ex,
peditions to Sardes in Asia Minor. He
and his staff Of assistants, one of
whom is Dr.. Emo Littmann of the
University of Strasburg, have com
pletely unearthed and to a large ex.
tent restored the ancient Temple of
Artemis. The inscriptions on the
walls leave no doubt that it was built
early in the fourth century B. c., on
the site of what was then the city of
Lydia.
Eut even more valuable than the
discovery of the temple is the unearth-
ing of bilingual inscriptions in Lydian
and Aramaic, which makes the first
considerable advance toward decipher.
ing the unknown Lydian language.
This is considered by archaeoIogists
and classical linguists all over the
world as one of the most important ad-
ditions to the dead languages ever
made.
The monument containing the text
of this unknown language was dis
covered and exeayated among some
tombs not far from the temple and
near the river Pactolus, the gold bear
ing stream Of ancient history. The
largest Lydian-Aramaic text consisted
Of eight lines in each language, almost
perfectly preserved, and dated in the
reign of Artayerxes. Near the tomb
containing this text were a dozen or
more smaller Inscriptions on stars
chiselled from stone and built into a
later Greek or Roman wall. Stars bear
ing thsse inscriptions were also found
to have been set up in pairs on either
side of the entrances to the chamber
lombs of the Lydians.
Among other texts found were se7-

/ basic virtues that lie at The foundation
Of all real worth and excellence.
Samuel Johnson respected himself,
and made everybody else respect him.
His independence was rock-ribbed. He
would die before he would sponge; q"
/ he would die a dozen times over be,
fore he would brook any kind of con.
deacension or any form Of insult to
his personal dignity and honor. Moth
ing finer was ever written than his
famous letter to Lord Chesterfield.
Every one should know that letter by
heart and be stepped in It's spirit.
Samuel Johnson possessed, to an
extraordinary degree, the thing called
common sense He saw the world
as it was, and governed himself ac
cordingly. lie was as strong against
the theorists as he was against the
auacks. He would have made Won
deFfully great judge, a wonderfully
great and wise king or president.
But great as Johnson was in intel
lect, knowledge, and individuality, he
was even greater in his sterling hon
esty Of heart. He had his failings, but
he deeply and sincerely regretted
them, and kept at it until, in most
cases, he made them the stepping
stones to something better. He never /
surrendered to his faults, but fought
them and conquered them. A wonder
full man was DR.. SAMUEL Johnson, as

recently for $500.
At the same time in London letter

George Washington.

Literary reactions in the estimate
of George Washington at once sug-
gests his greatness and emphasize the
truth that greatness is an indefinable
quality. He has been exalted beyond
the topmost heights of heroism and
depressed below the level of ordinary
justice. Criticism has unduiated from
untempered panegyrics into captions
and hypercritical censure. Biography
in one mood has made Washington lit.
tie lower than the angels, and in an
other has hardly given his substance
outside school copybooks. 1t is this
mysterious element in his character,

1t takes a healthy, well-fed flock to
produce eggs. Fowls must not be al
lowed to become too fat, as but few
eggs will be laid by hens In such con-
dition. To prevent their getting over
fat, it is best to make them work for
most of their feed by scratching in
the litter, of which there should be
about four inches on the floor This
litter can be of straw, leaves or chaff,
and should always be kept dry.
A good feed for egg production is
one composed of corn. wheat and
oats, equal parts by measure. 1t is
advisable to use homegrown grains
whenever possible. In sections where
corn and oats do not thrive, other
grains can be used to good advantage,
for example. a mixture of equal parts
by measure of kafir corn, oats and
barley will produce good results.
Scatter small handful of this mix
ture for every three hens in the litter

they will eat of 1t in V-shaped
trough at night. In the winter time
some green feed should be fed at
noon; cabbage or mangel- wurzels,
either chopped or whole, are good.

carefully and see If the fowls are eat
ing all the grain being given them;
II not, reduce the quantity. Fowls
that have to work for what feed they
get seldom become over-fat. Grit and
oyster shells in hopper should al
ways be kept before them. The grit
is used to grind their feed, and the
oyster shell furnishes the lime for
the eggshells. Be sure to keep water
before them at all times. Birds that

Classified Lands for Agricultural Use.
One of the largest tasks of the
forestry service during the past year
has been the classification of lands
within the national forests in respect
to their highest future use This work
was undertaken during 1913 on more
comprehensive scale than ever before,
because there was specific appro-
priation for the purpose. Large areas
are being classified where the amount
of land chiefly valuable for agricul-
ture warrants its being taken out of
the forests, and 1t also takes care Of
areas on which detailed classification
will disclose small areas suitable for
agricultural development within the
forests. The work is being carried
on with the assistance of the bureau
of soils and the bureau OF plant in
dustry, department OF agriculture.
One result OF this work was the
elimination of 100000 acres from the
Nebraska national forest, $4,000 acres
from the Rainier, in Washington, and
413,770 acres from the Deschutes and
Paulina, in oregon. About 100000
acres in small isolated tracts were
listed for settlement during the year.
The areas now being examined for
classification have a total area OF
about 100000 acres.

THOUGHT IT KAIsER's ORDER
Explanation OF Mysterious Star Raised
Above Cross on Roof Of Church
In Berlin.

In illustration of the Difference paid
to the kaiser's wishes In even the
smallest details, the following story
is told OF the star above the cross on
the spire of the Emperor William Me-
mortal church:
AS the kaiser insisted on revising
the plans of the church, the architect
brought the plans to him, and the kali
ser scratched out what he did not
like, and made such additions as he
fancied before he gave them the inn
perial approval The church was
built. There was to be big gilt
cross on the spire, and it appeared in
its proper place. But, much to the
general establishment, when the cross
was put up large, many-pointed star
was raised above it on heavy rod
The Berliners did not understand the
star. They inquired, and the archi
tect said the kaiser had added the
star to the plans.
The plans were examined. Then 1t
was found that in revising them the
kaiser had let fall drop of ink from
his pen on the paper just above the
cross. The architect studied a long
time over this blot of ink. There
could be no appeal, no inquiries. He
finally decided that the blot of ink
signifed a star above the cross, and
he put the star there, making it cor
respond as nearly as possible to the
outline of the blot The star is still
there.
