In Praise Of Music,

Music adds nothing but good; sub
tracts the evil; multiplies that which
we already have; discounts our oil
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 a 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 a 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
Musician. ,-s.

OLDEST LOVE LETTER FOUND
Modern Scientist Declares Il TO Have
Been Written About tho Time
Of Abraham.

The Oldest love letter in the world
has been found-and read by eyes for
which 1t never was intended. DR..
Stephen Herbert Langdon, Museum Of
Art and Sciences. University Of Penn
sylvania, was the man to find this
billet doux, written on 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:
"To Kaka and Mirslia say:
"Thus saith Sin-magir.
MAY the Sun-dog give you good
health.
"How is this business?
"For a whole month you have not
sent anybody to ask about my welfare.
"Now I direct Shamashepiri unto
you.
"Send me 30 pints Of barley meal
and ten pints f bean -four.
II am in trouble.
"Give quickly.
"What you send deduct from your
tithes.
"As 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 1t is 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
Herald.

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 Flavltsky, showing a
beautiful woman standing on her bed
in n cell in this prison, seeking to es-
cape the rising waters Of 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
