Srock-Rtddcn Babylon.

In lecture In connection with the
Egypt Exploration fund, on Burial
Customs in Mesopotamia and Egypt,
Dr. H.. w. King said the spirit which
animated the Egyptians in their varied
and changing practices toward the
dead Was, biased on affection and rev
erence, but the 8abylonian, in the
main, was prompted by fear. The
Babylonians were probably moro
spook-rfdden than any other nation
Of antiquity, and their magical texts
made it clear that the most, terrible
class of spirits we're the ghosts OF
the dead who for some reason had
been unable to enttr the underworld.
Driven to hunger and thirst, such a
ghost might roam about and fasten on
anyone with whom it had relations
In this life, and it would plague him
until he performed the rites that
could give peace. 1t was mainly to lay
the ghost and prevent it from haunt
ing" that the Babyionians were scru-
pulous in performing the due burial

/. What Scandal ia

OF scandal, the New Republic
writes: There are few of US who do
not enjoy this sense of really know
Ing what's what. It extends our ex-
perience. and gives us a vicarious i'm
poFtance.iq If we cannot live great
passtons. we can at least. read about
Nine Du Barry's buudoir; II we can
not be smart, we can at least feel
that we have an insiders knowledge
Of the smart set. The moral earnest
ness and deep attention which people
will devote to discussing other peo-
pies domestic affairs suggests that
gossip is perhaps a genuine print
tive art in whica there Is interest
through pity and fear and pride anG
10y. One woman leaves her husband;
. hundred women chatter about 1t,
and their passionate interest might
make cynic wonder whether they
are not living through all the emo
tons Of great adventure without
the risk of moving away from their
own steam radiators. Gossip is ex.
perience without responsibility. 1T
Is a means Of taking part in inter

any Of the risk that comes of being

OPPORTUNITIES.

N our individual life there come
opportunities, which we may miss be-
cause we have such false standards by
which we judge things. We wait for
the great event and for the great oc'
CASTOR, and We call that great which
makes big splash IN the world. Or.
when the trial comes we shrink from
IL through false modesty, saying to
ourselves that some other more worthy
Instrument should E< chosen. If our
general attitude were night. we woula
see the meaning Of all that is called
opportunity. We are not alive to the
gracious possibilities Of The unregard'
ed chances of every day. We need .

Instead of Investing in Ia Der

Americans should put their money
INTO drainage, road. levee and other

halted at the noon hour while the

ern women. prayed that God might
bring peace to those who suffer to-day
In Europe at the feet OF Mars Never
was there more earnest prayer than
that to which the veterans uttered an
amen. They had known the bitter toll
and travail OF war. and they had in
their hearts the memory Of Il thousand
graves which lie everywhere in South
ern fields. They had known before.
and they have known since. the calm
OF peace and from their hearts they
asked that peace might descend on
Europe. from where the Atlantic beats
upon the French and English shores
TO that land beyond the Ural and eau
cusus mountains. where the rude kurds
and the terrible Turks fall upon The
Armenians' mission homes.
Mrs. Bryan, daughter Of Admiral
Raphael Semmes OF Alabama, was in
trOduced to the veterans at their
earlier session, and she stirred them
to enthusiasm. Governor Manning. of
