NO TRUTH IN TRADITION
Old Legend Of the Drowning of prin-
cess in Petrograd Fortress Proved
to Be Without Foundation.

The fortress Of IS. Peter and Paul,
in Petrograd, has an evil reputation
as the former place of Imprisonment
Of many Of Russia's idealists, includ-
ing Prince Kropotkin and Madame
Breshkovsky; but one blot on its
'scutcheon is removed by an illustrated
article In the London Sphere. The
article reproduces painting by the
Russian artist Flavitsky, showing q
beautiful woman standing on her bed
in a cell in this prison, seeking to es-
cape the rising waters Of a flood that
threatens her life. This was the Prin-
cess Tarakanova, who had incurred
the enmity of Catherine the Great. The
tradition is that she was drowned, by
order of the empress, during the in
undation Of 1777. The Sphere, how
ever, shows that she died of tuberculo-
sis two years before the flood swept
through the fortress. Thus this gloomy.
prison and the great empress are re-
lieved of one of the tragedies with
which they have been associated

In Praise of Music.

Music adds nothing but good; sub
tracts the evil; multlplles that which
we already have; discounts our all
ments and compounds all of our inter-
est. If you believe this is true, "push''
music Aid the choir choral and or
chestral societies. Sympathize with
and In every way support public
school music.
A foreign traveller in our country
said he was deeply impressed with our
silences. He heard no reapers sing
ing In the field. he heard many bird
carol, but no human songs. That re-
minds me of the old saying: BLESSED
is the man who sings at his work. "
Take an interest in creating q musi-
cal atmosphere in the home, and soon
America will be singing and we shall
be able to take in music not only by
the small channel of the ear, but
through every pore Of our bodies
straight to the root Of our souls.-The

OLDEST LOVE LETTER FOUND
Modern Scientist Declares 1t to Have
Been Written About the Time
Of Abraham.

The oldest love letter in the world
has been found-and read by eyes for
which it never was intended. DIR.
Stephen Herbert Langdon, Museum of
Art and Sciences, University Of Penn
sylvania, was the man to find this
billet doux, written on a tablet of clay
about the time of Abraham. He also
has brought to life what is said to be
the oldest map IN existence, drawn
about 1900 B. G. or another tablet Of
clay.
Here is the letter, which, sad to re-
late, is partly SELFISH
ITO Kaka and Mirslia say:
"ThuS saith Sln-magir.
"May the Sun-dog give you good
health.
"How is this business?
"For whole month you have not
sent anybody to ask about my welfare.
SNOW I direct Shamashepiri unto
you.
"Send me 30 pints Of barley meal
and ten pints of bean flour.
II am in trouble.
"Give quickly.
'What you send deduct from your
tithes.
GAS to the rest, send it according to
future instructions"
Evidently the writer was fond of
both Kaka and Mirslia, two sisters. AL
though the letter could scarcely be
called affectionate, as the present gen.
Grafton understands the word, its
translator assures us that it is a bona
fide cross-your-heart love letter.
The map found by Doctor Langdon
was Of Babylonian origin and indicates
a supposedly suburban district Joined
together by canals.-Rehoboth Sunday

ShoveIinq Out Gas.

Weighing considerably more than
the atmosphere, the poisonous gases
employed In modern warfare always
seek lower levels. Thus the gas clouds
penetrate trenches and deep dugouts,
and in most cases it is q matter of
many hours before they become suffi-
ciently diluted with the atmosphere to
permit of safe breathing. SO the mat
ter resolves itself into a problem Of
driving the poisonous fumes out Of
the trenches and underground shelters,
or at least thinning them out until
the air Is again made safe.
For this reason American soldiers
now in France literally Shovel pol
sonous fumes out of their trenches.
Attached to a shovel is q sort of cam
vas scoop or "napper' which permits
the men to heave the heavy gases over
the parapets and beat the fumes and
dlssipate them In the surrounding
air.--Seientifc American.

The first time the people of the Unit
ed States were called upon to observe
day of national prayer was May 8,
179S, by proclamation Of President
John Adams. A controversy had aris-
en- between this country and France
and all Americans were called upon
to pray for continuation of peace.
In 1915, when the United States was
about to make war on Alglers, Pres
ident Madison proclaimed q day of
prayer. During the Civil war three
presidential proclamations were issued
appointing days of prayer for peace.
In 1865 the authorities called upon the
people to pray for Lincoln, and In 1881
President Arthur proclaimed day of
prayer to mark the burial of President
Garfield. In the autumn Of 1914 Pres
ident Wilson issued his proclamation
for prayers on "Peace Sundays"
