More buried history has recently been
unearthed in Southern Russia, some
dozen miles from the town Of Nicolaeff
1t carries us directly back TO the days
and scenes described by Herodotus, and
like so many other modern discoveries Of
the kind, it tends to show that the
father of history" was one of the best
informed as well as one of the most
truthful writer's that ever lived.
The most important part of the dis
covery consists of a previously undis-
turbed tomb OF a Scythian king, who
probably lived in the fourth century be-
fore Christ, or, say, a hundred years
later than Herodotus himself.
The body of the king was found pre-
served in the manner described by Herod-
otus as peculiar to the Scythians, and
with lit were discovered bronze and iron
weapons, and gold and silver ornaments
of the highest interest, some of which
are of great beauty as for instance, the
magnificent vase of massive silver, COW
cred with gilded figures, photographs of
three different sides OF which are here
with reproduced.
The Workmanship of this vase is aston
ishing, considering the fact that the
Scythians were a race of nomads, wan
dering from place to place when war or
other necessity drove them, and not erect
ing, like the great nations to the south
of them, famous cities or great works of
architecture; but Herodotus says that

Women the Human Naturists

have the grace and patience to handle it.
Men are blind on the human nature side
When they attempt to handle questions
involving men they handle them as they
would cattle, by force or terror. With
women they have a softer hand, though
that is under protest. II is a concession
to what men have long tolerated. though
with poor grace, woman's loneliness"
Women provide the curves of human
nature, men the angles, and it is cur
ious comment that the curves understand
the angles, but to the angles the curves
remain to the last mystery. Men had a
ghmmering sense of this extra knowl-
edge of women. but not one OF them has
been clever enough, or gallant enough,
to give it its right name They have
talked of women's intuition. their strange
half chidlike, half animal scent of the
true character but not once have they
applied the term that fits that rare and
needful quality. The word is "penetra-
ton"
A man and woman stand beside the
stream OF human nature, Man secs the
bright surface Of It. He notes the swift
ness or slowness of its current A
woman sees the mud and the pebbles at
the bottom
Men have even deigned to be guided by
this quality. / know a western railroad

striking example Of mans blind ac-
ceptance Of the truth they cannot un-
derstand is the practice OF newspapers TO
send a woman on a difficult story. The
most difficult task on a newspaper is to
induce someone TO tell what he doesn't
want 20 tell. II added to this distinc-
tion, the person on whom the news
papers eye and plans are focused adds a
peppery temper tho newspaper turns un-
gallant and sends a woman That the
encounter will not be a pleasant one for
the woman does not count with the
newspaper What 1t wants is the story.
The results usually prove the wisdom Of
the paper.

Herodotus says that when a Scythan
king died his body, after being subjected
to prcservative treatment was carried
around among all the provinces that he
had governed. and afterward placed in a
tomb, surrounded by golden vases and
other objects He also AYERS that fifty
horses and fifty young men were slain,
and. the bodies of the young men being
mounted and fixed on the backs Of the
dead horses, this cavalcade of death was
arrayed in guardian circle about the
royal tomb, the horses rearing on hind
