Ancient Hymns Discovered

Texts that were sung to music are among the discoveries recently made In the ruins of Ur, where the palaces and temples of Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Assyrians, stood.
 Tombs under the ruins of dwelling houses were discovered, dating from the period of the Larsa kings, about 2000 B. C., large, solidly constructed in burnt brick. There was found against the wall of the room collec- tion of nearly sixty clay tablets which had obviously been stored in a jar, whose fragments lay with them. They were fairly large and unusually well preserved and bore religious texts and hymns in honor of the moon god, writ ten out in the time of Rim-Sin king of Larsa, twenty-one centuries before Christ These are the most important tablets which excavations have yet brought to light.-Musical America.

 Before closing the services NIr. ernon opened the one envelope and read the contents to the congrega- tion. It proved to be a very strong commendation by the local Klan Of Mir.

Dry FLo1pers in Send

Lovers of flowers in their natural state are afforded a way of drying cut blossoms in sand instead of pressing them, says Popular Mechanics Nigga zine. The method requires dishes suf- fielently deep so that the blossoms can be covered to a depth of at least an inch. White securing sand will do
 It should be laid half an inch deep in the dish, the flowers placed stem downward in the layer and then sprin- kled over until all the petals and the entire blossom are fully covered. The flowers should be held firmly, as this insures a complete dusting. When covered they are placed in their dish in warm, dry place. In about a week some of the blooms will be thor oughly dried but others may require much longer. By this method the blossoms are said to retain their nat ural shapes and colors even for years.
