€ (a q _‘The inseription is a short eulogy of the king and Lis father. 1t ends in a menâ€" mer calculated to remind one of the old mursery rhyibe about "The House that Jack Built." The full inscription as translated last week by Prof. ‘Torrey is: Shalmaneser, the great king, the mighty king, ruler of the universe, king of the land of Assyria; son of the Ashâ€" urnasirpal, the great king, the mighty king, ruler of the universe, king of the land of Assyria; son of Tukultiâ€"Ninib, ruler of the universe, king of the land of Assyria, and he built the tower of the city of Calah. An interesting inscription made upon a sunbaked brick some 2,700 years ago by order of Shalmaneser II., King of Asâ€" syria, has just been translated into English by Prof. Charles C. Torrey, of Yale Unversity. The brick has been in the possession of Yale for almost fifty years, but the cuneiform writing in which the inscription is written is of a very rude character and a previous attempt at translation in 1870 was partâ€" ly successful. What the tower of Calah was and why it was considered of sufficient importâ€" ance to be mentioned as the chief fact worthy of remembrance in connection with this "ruler of the universe" with the hard name, nobody knows. An atâ€" tempt was made some years ago to idenâ€" tify the tower mentioned as the tower of babel, of biblical fame, mention of it being made in another Assyrian inscripâ€" tion, as a noteworthy inscription, at a noteworthy achievement of King Tukulâ€" tiâ€"Ninib. However, it is now generally eonceded that the ground for supposing them to be the same is very slight, and the inscription just translated does not throw new light on the matter, King Shalimeneser, the author of the inscription is known in history as among the first Assyrian kings to make eaptives of the Hebrews. A description of his attacks upon them is given in Kings II. xix. and xx. From other sources it is evident that the king was also a practical joker of a grim sort. He himself relates, in anâ€" other brick, which was presented to Yale at the same time with the one recently translated, that he conquered many tribes, and some of them he boiled in pitch and some he made slaves, putting rings in their noses to increase their tracticability. He is also said to be the vriginator of the "turkey dance," now EARLY HOUSE THAT JACE BUILT. There was another flow of pennies, nickels and dimes, and the cup was half full when a thie? came along. He stooped, and patted the animal on the back, and at the same time time tried to empty the cup. But ‘"Blind Nell‘s" dog had learned to read men, and a growl warned the stranger that it would be unsafe for him to take any of the money. ‘The dog disappeared as darkness came and "Blind Ne!ll"" will have all to eat that she wants for the noxt few days at least.â€"Chiâ€" eago Chronicle. Micard‘s Liniment Cures Buras, etc. He was back at the corner when the shopâ€" pers began to arrive. The women were toucked by the story told on the placard and they contributed freely. At noon the dos disappeared again. He rested this time an perhaps the old woman told him what a great friend he was, for it was almost time for the stores to close when he reached the corâ€" ner, He disappeared while the morning was still young. His course was in Van Buren street and down Wabash avenue. All trace of him was lost as he rounded the corner, but the meeting of the old woman and the old dog with cupof silver must have been a happy ene. There was a cup fastened to his muz:le and he seemed to know his friends. Whenâ€" ever one of them appeared he advanced and rubbed his nose against their legs. The caress told much. It told of how ‘"Blind Nell" had at last given away and how she was lying i!1 in some uncomfortable sfot. It told why the hand organ was silent. It told that even a mean, yellow cur was not withâ€" out a heart, and that he alone stood betwean the old woman arnd starvation. And the caress touched many, and there was a heap of bright silver in the cup before the day‘s work had begun in the downtown district. He Holds a Cup to Receive Pennies of C the Charitable. *Blind Ne&" the organ grinder, who for years has thered the pennies and »bhe mickels of the charitable that pass State and yan Buren streets, is ill, but she placed her faith in a dog, and the animal is now earning the bread that means life for bothn. There are few people in the downtown disâ€" trict who do not know "Blind Nell." There are few business men who remember when she came. She was on the southeast corner when they were clerks in the stores ,that s y EsE W PDCIRI SuT NPCC SRUTCE pEIRTT they now own. She was the link that conâ€" nected them with the day that had been and sometimes they paid ber well for the memor‘y. And the old dog, a yellow cur, was always at her side. _ *"*Why do you keep him? He‘s getting old LJ '.‘.he‘l all that I have," was the answer. So it wasn‘t strange that men stopped and listened when they left the elevated and the street cars yesterday morning. Usually it was one of "Blind Nell‘s"‘ airs that told them that they had reached the scene of another day‘s activity. Some of them stood in the midle of the street and waited for the familiar strains. But the old hand organ was silent. They crossed to "Blind Nell‘s" corner, and there stood the dog, alone. If he had been a man people would have said that he was transfigured. It seemed that he had shaken the years from him and that he realized his importance. It was the placard on his side that attracted everyâ€" body‘s atention. "I am ‘Blind Nell‘s‘ dog. ‘Blind Nell is sick. I can be trusted. Please help us both," it read. u6 5C 4 “Why len‘t he DOG BEGS FOR SICK WOMAN. h s Rln® +tc n e .Ps ++ inquired some of the old business Nothing shows the extreme duliness of the House of Commons more plainly than the way in which members roar with laughter at some trivial joke or inâ€" cident in the House which would ‘not raise a smile outside.â€"A Retiring Memâ€" ber in the National Review. The fallacy that the House of Comâ€" mons is the best club in London is probâ€" ably exploded by this time. It wous)d be difficult to imagine any place much less like a club. No selfâ€"respecting _ club would endure the _members‘ smokingâ€" room for a week. In the winter, unless there is anything of particular interest on in the House, it is too crowded for members to be able to find seats. In the summer it is insufferably hot and stuffy, and all the year round it is unwholeâ€" somely draughty. No club would stand the food which is s&rved to members of the House of Commons. Still less would any club. stand t;s Jlouse of Commons waiters. The per, ;.. it servants are exâ€" cellent, courtcous, civil and obliging, But the large number of members who have to lurch and dine at the House very frequently renders it impossible to keep enough good permanent servants to atâ€" tend to everyone, and the results are, to say the least, uncomfortable. Perhaps nothing will leave a deeper impression on the mind of the member when he has finally retired from the House of Commons than the deadly dullâ€" ness of the place. If members would conâ€" sent to speak only when they have someâ€" thing to say, if they would remember that what may seem of great interest to themselves is simply a bore to everyone else, and if they would content themnâ€" selves with saying what they have got to say in as few clear words as possible, life in the House of Commons would be less dull and far more work would be got through in far less time. Human beings are not alone in sufferâ€" ing from plague in India, says the Lonâ€" don Mail. _ The disease has been so bad of late in the Mysore State, where it is reported, writes our Simla correspondâ€" ent, that one of the palace elephants has succumbed after developing what scemed to be the typical plague swellâ€" ings. A Mysore correspondent writes to a Bombay paper that elephants and deer are also dying in the Heggaddevankot forests of what is believed, locally, to be nothing else than the plague, which has been prevalent among the human inâ€" habitants of some of the villages in the neichborhood. There is no doubt a moral obliquity in the lad who deliberately chooses to beâ€" come a sot, but nine times out of ten it is a discased liver or nerve or brain that drives him to the choice. If the mother or wife who watches his ruin would treat his failinz as disease and put him in charge of a skilful physician, she would belp to put an end to the drunkenness far sooner than by any pasâ€" slonate hymns or fluttering ribbons or despairing appeals to the lawmakers or to God. It is doubtful if the law ever kept temperate a man with a craving for drink, and God helps those who help themselves by rational remedies,. whethâ€" er their ailment be alcoholism â€" or When a rich and important Chinaman dies his funeral is conducted with much pomp and splendor. Mis friends and reâ€" latives, instead of sending wreaths, send innumerable banners. ‘lhese are made of white silk, with inseriptions beautiâ€" fully worked in black velvet, and express the senders‘ good wishes to the deceased himself or to the members of his famâ€" ily for many generations. On the day of the fureral these banners are carried by hired men, who ‘are all dressed alike for the occasion. After the funeral, which lasts several hours at the cemetery, is over the banners are ail brought back and eventually grace the rooms of the late Chinaman‘s house. Here, it seems to us, has been the great mistake in dealing with intemperâ€" ance. It is a disease, not a sin. This boy comes into the world with the tenâ€" dency to alcoholism in his body; that with the tendency to tuberculosis. The last is promptly given the air, the food, the medical treatment which will help hi mto resist the disease; the other, on the appearance of its first symptoms, is given tears and prayers and emotional excitement, which tend to make him a more easy victim. t Then They Registered "and Lady." (Milwaukee Sentinel.) "Some weeks ago I had an opportunâ€" ity of in<pecting the hotel register of a Niagara Falls hotel of the yvears 1830â€" 32," said Oliver Breon. "Even at that time the falls seem to have been a fayâ€" orite resort, but what impressed me most was the style in vogue at that time. ‘The chirography was by far better than one sees nowadays on hotel regisâ€" ters, some writing almost resembling steel engraving. 1 looked all through the register, but found but one instance of a man registering himseli ‘and wife.‘ In every other instance it was ‘and lady.‘ Another feature of the register was a coulmn headed ‘remarks,‘ which was used by guests in making personal notices, some of which were highly intoresting. Toâ€"day we tell our confidences to the clesk." As with all reforms carried on by woâ€" men, there is a certain amount of sentiâ€" ment involved in the work of this vast organization, which now extends into every country on the globe. It was founded to carry out the wish of a dyâ€" ing child, and every woman in it, Prob- ably, has been hurt by the evil which it combats. It is quite natural that their appeals should be emotional. sometimes seen at country fairs, the principle of which is the wellâ€"known fact that a "turkey" or anybody else, dislikes to stand still when the floor beneath the feet is not. Shalmaneser is said to have induced his captives to dance in a similar manner. The brick which contains the inscripâ€" tion translated above was found in the ruins of Calah, to reach which excavaâ€" tions of great d:l":“l were necessary. The site is on the Tigris River, just south of Nineveh and beneath the present city of Nimrod. The brick was taken from the inner wall of a part of the royal palace, where it served much the same purpese as a present day cornerstone. How is this scourge to be checked?

Mr. Loomis says: "Before I started to use Dodd‘s Kidâ€" ney P lIs I was so used up I could hardâ€" ly ride in a buggy, and I coulid not do any work of any kind.

Two Germans have discovered a methâ€" od by which they can hear plants grow.

Good Houses, Good Air and Good Exerâ€" cise Necessary. While tuberculosis is spread through infection, it must be remembered that its predisposing cause is in the body itâ€" self. If one could get rid of narrow chests and bring up children in healthy surroundings, we should resist the sourcâ€" es of infection more succesfully, whatâ€" ever they are. We are all in danger from bacilli, but we do not all get conâ€" sumption, because many of us have conâ€" stitutions with a sufficient power of reâ€" sistance. Good houses, good air, good exâ€" ercise must be brought to the help of weak constitutions; and they are also necessary if we are to have strong conâ€" stitutions and the weak are to be elimâ€" inated. By so much hygiene as we have already practiced, and before any special precautions began to be taken about conâ€" sumption the mortality from it has deâ€" creased, since 1850â€"5 by 53 per cent. It is probably still decreasing steadily, though it accounts for a tenth of the annual mortality, if all the forms of tuâ€" berculosis that appear in the registrar General‘s report are reckoned. Bronchitis and pneumonia are more familisr than phthisis. In the army the death _ rate from tuberculosis has been reduced from 12 to 1.2 per 1,000 per annum since the Crimean War. It is a well known story how a commission reported that conâ€" sumption was much more prevalent in the line regiments, where each man in barracks had only 350 cubic feet of space, than in the Guards, where each man had 500, and how the death rate began to fall when the barracks became more fit to live in â€"Phil.
