November is the "Pleiad month" had we retained the beautiful little group of the Pleiades in the important position assigned to it by many early peoples, our New Year would occur on the goth of the present month, when the Seven Sisters are exactly opposite the sun in the heavens, and this day would be for us a day of inn

A Babylonian Epic.

In the midst of it all, man in Phila-
delphia n professor, is calmly trans
lating BabylOnian epic. He has be-
fore him certain tablets which were
buried In Mesopotamian ground thou
sands Of years ago, upon which, in the
time Of Abraham, certain queer cone
shaped characters We're inscribed. Not
many years ago the key to these char
acters was discovered, in the form OF
an Inscription in two languages, one
of which was known, and the meaning
of the queer characters slowly
emerged. The Philadelphia professor
has discovered that the tablets bear
an epic poem. He is translating the
epic and finds 1t to be the story of the
way in which half-barbarous chief
tain, named Enkidu, was redeemed
from career of tyranny and violence
by the love Of woman. And day after
dcy, while the papers are full Of woes
and wickedness, and the drums of war
beat on the streets, Indifferent to all
the uproar this patient man goes on
translating into good English the poem
of Enkidu and his love.
