University Professor Discovers FundA-

Were Evolved $500 3. c..

DIR. Stephen Langdon has just de-
Pennsylvania museum which are thou
sands of years old.
The doctrine of Messianic hope,
of the expectation of deliverance from
sin and suffering by Goldman In
the shape Of king. goes back to at
least 2.500 b. c., when the Sumerian
theoloSihns evolved q theory which
has been the basis of Jewish and
Christian religion ever since, accord
ing to his discoveries.
The new tablets are Of interest be-
cause they show that the Sumerians
never lost hope that the restoration
10 state of sinlessness and happiness
through the agency Of the gods wonld
come aud their faith was pinned on
earthly kings who were delfied and
worshipped In the hope that one would
be a delIyerer. Elaborate rituals
were made for all of them, but ench
failed. Then came the Semitic con-
quest of Sumer and the era Of pessim-
ism set in. as shown by the famous
epic of GIlgnmish, one missing hook
Of which has just been found in the
Nippur collection of the University
museum.
The Semites hnd no such Messianic
hope, since the story of Gllgamish,
hero of the epic of GiIgamish. Is the
antithesis Of the restoration of Pnrn-
disc. and this is the more important
because Giigainish himself was half
god. II is presumed that the Jews
got their idea of Messiah from the
Sumerinn eplcs rather than from their
own congeners in Babylonia.
The discovery is considered import
ant because II shows that the Su-
merians who first gave an account of
the creation. food and fall Of man,
which were adopted by the Jews. also
provided the first theme of God
man who should suffer death and re-
deem the people from the loss of
paradise. All of these documents date
from before the time of Abraham and
apparently are copies Of those much
older. The fundamentals OF Jewish
and Christian religion are shown in
tablets at least i.Jo0 years old.

Piano, and Climate.

Because the plano is constructed of
materials that are affected by varying
temperatures. care should be taken to
protect IL as much as possible. Mnls-
ture IS one of tie most frequent cnuses
OF deterioration in n piano. and this
Is not TO be wondered at when we con-
slider that the instrument is chieaY c9u-
strucfed Of wood, cloth. skin anu Tit.
The three chief enemies OF the piano
are damp. the sun. and draft. II
the room Is Mt all damp. the tone be-
comes dull, the wires rust; and once
rust gets u hold. the tone can never be
restored. 1t Is possible to get the rust
removed. but the tone will be thinner.
The temperature should not i've below
20 degrees, and not over 30 degrees
Fahrenheit. This Is not always possi-
BILE. but 1t is well to know what tenn
peratures TO avoid, so that one may
keep the piano as far away from them
as circumstances permit.

The burro Is a small and compact
horse of the mule vnrirty. He has n
high forehead and a thoughtful. refiec-
tive face. but Is not as bralny as he
looks. Sometimes indeed he seems as
inane and stupid as n man In love with
a grass widow. Most generally burro
has great, soulful eyes. but really his
soul is smaller than that OF blind kit
ten. In collection OF souls that of
the burro would seem like a mere
sreck. The greatest value OF the hurro
is for the load he carries. II n man
could carry the same load and be as
sure-footed about II he would be
worth $4,000 year as wine agent.

AT ACADEMY

|, Perhaps the greatest triumph ever
experienced by the students OF Mt.
ST. SchoIastica's Academy because of
their dramatic productions was re-
allied "wednesday night when they
gave "Everyman," powerful moral
ity Play. The auditorium was crowd
ed TO It's doors, about four hundred
people filling the large room.
The plays. given each year at com
mencement time at the academy. are
always of high order and this was
particularly true this year. Every
man" is considered classic and is
really difficult production for high
school girls to interpret and that the
cast last night did so well is re-
markable The Ben Greet players
have given "Everyman' often and even
for them, professional actors that they
are. it is considered a formidable
tax upon their ability.
Miss Evelyn Mccarthy as Every
man" proved again that she possesses
remarkable thespian talent. She en-
tered so thoroly into the spirit OF the
part and gave such reality and force
Of expression to her lines that one
would not believe at once that she IS
but young girl without professional
experience.
Miss Luella Welch as knowledge.
Miss CIeone Fitzpatrick as Beauty,
Miss Irene Hay as Discretion and Miss
Anna McAioon as Strength were espe-
ciaIiy notable in the rendition of their
roles.
Miss Carolyn Schneider az Good
Deeds took the part dressed as nun
in white garb and presented beauti-
full appearance. She proved ever
faithful to "Everyman- despite the
fact that once she came nigh unto
death because OF "Everymsn's" ac-
tions. ADELAIDE Dillon as Angel made
one of the prettiest scenes of the play.
her sweet voice welcoming Every
mans ciesnsed soul into the hea-
venly sphere" seeentnating the beau

Miss Agnes Amundson as Doctor
made an excellent impression in
giving the prologue Miss Marie Fritz
as Death. Miss Dorothy Henderson as
Fellowship. Miss Maxine Rumsey as
Kindred. Miss Fay Burnison as cou-
sin. and Miss Margaret Henderson as
Five Wits were fayorably received In
their parts.
The musical program preceding the
play was. as usual. very good. The
violin orchestra, composed of Mary
Sullivan and Margaret Henderson.

Ion and Veronica Pring. playing sec

well.

Work. British Say
Bv STEVENSON H. EVANS.

Washington. April 26.-The French
mission and the British mission are in
the United States, according TO the
words Of their heads. for precisely the
same purpose not to suggest, but to
be of service in the prosecution OF the
war to which the United States is now
committed. Yet there is much diner
ence between the distinguished groups.
allies though they be, as there is be
tween the provcrbial hare and tortoise.
II probably is racial.
The French see the end OF the war
within eight OF ten months.
The British see quick finish but
to the Tnglishmen this means about
two years, with a second summer cam
paign to follow this one. or even a
third. American troops by the half
million or more I'M the field and the
lighting possibly east Of the Rhine.
The Englishmen appear 20 have more
respect for the German staying power
than have the FreEchmcn.
American officials VINO nave talked TO
expert military members Of both COM
missions have been profoundly I'M
pressed BY this difference Of opinion.
II is a difference of detail only, for
every man believes there is 10 doubt
the war will end in total collapse Of
the German power.
The French to-day seized every OPP
portunity. as the English did yester-
Gav. 10 make il clear TO the American
press and public that interference with
American plans was entirely outside
their desires. There will not be even
an unsolicited suggestion. And, al
