HIGH CO'ST OF L,IVII\IG.
It'a An OldOld Story and Was Told
_ 2,000' Velars' Ago.
A wife's letter 2,000 years old was
unearthed reeentiA' in the luiu Of the
Serapouna the- temple of Memphis, the
great eity of ancient Egypt. The let-
ter was 'written by %sins to her hu.
baud IlephaestiOn, who had deserted
her. There were two letters, in fact,
the first bearing a late equivalent to
3bly 24, 186 R. C. In them the wife
reproaches her husband for neglect of
his family, and, What is ,Particularly
interesting at .:the present thrie, she
complains of the high COSt CI( living.
Here are some extracts from the first
letter: "Islas to Hephaestion, her huts -
band. Greeting's -If you inc well and
other things ore turning out with you
according to your wishes it would be:
as I perpetually pray the gods. I my-
self am in good ,health, .and the child'
and all in the house make mention of
you continually, When Vreeeived your
-
letter from IiTorus, in which you ex -
planned. that you were in retreat in the.
Serapoum at Memphis, 'I immediately
gave thauks to the gods that you were
well. But that you do not'feturn dis-
tresses me, for having piloted myself
and y'out' child through such a crisis
aud having coine:t4i the last extremity
because of the high cost of corn, and
thinking that -your return would bring
me relief, you have never'reven thought
01 returning or, spared a look for my
helpless state.",
THINNEST SOAP BUBBLES..
,They Almost .Give Us• a Sight of the
Invisible Molecules. ,
What is a soap bubble? Nothing but
a film of water inolecules beld together
by tee cohesive power of seep in solu-
tion. A soap inibble's size and strength
depend upon the right compoSition of
the mixture that furnishes its mate-
rial. The colors iu a ;soap bubble are
due to what is Enown in physics as the
interference of. light, and depend upon
the varying thickness of the film of
water. - -
It is a singular fact that the last
color to appear on a soap bubble just
beford. it breaks is a gray tint. The
thickness of the film when this tint
appears upon it is less then the one
hundred aud fifty -six -thousandth of an
inch.'
Were a oap babbletobe magnified
to the size of the earth and the mole-
cules miag,nified in propoetionsthen the
whole structure would be as coarse
grained as a globe of small lead shot
touching one another at their surfaces.
In the blowing of a soap bubble there
is presepted the Spectacle of the
stretching of a liquid to the-- extreme
limit or its` -capacity. In this- way we
come nearer to a wilt of the invisible
molecules, of matter than 'could' lie got

orate the.experintent.—Exchange.--
Passport to the .,Noeth
A passport to the north pole was is-
sued some years ago -,by the; governor.
of the province of TobnIsk, which
stretcdies along the Russian shores of
tbe Aretic ocean. T'he official was ap-
proached by two Men- \fhb had-sbeen
engaged to proceed "to the north with
an English expedition then fitting out.
Their petitioii was for a passport to
the pole itself', but the governor point-
ed out that the pole was as likely to
be in their htime province as in any
other, that it Was extremely unlikely,
they would reach it and that ,if they
did .there were no police there to ex-.
afniue Their credentials. At last, how-
ever, f."ci satisfy them he ordered the
ag.she of a decument allowing them to
pais without let. or hindrance to he
north pole.
Tower of London.
A royal palace, consisting of no more
that what is now known as the "White
Tower"- appears to have been the be-
ginning of tbeTower of London. It
was commenced in 107S by William
the Conqueror" and finished- by Wilt
liam's sou. 'William Rufus, who, in
_1098, surrounded it with walls and a
broad -ditch. Seat:cal succeeding kings
made additions to it, and Ring Edward
III. erected the church. In 1638 the
old,White T'esver was rebuilt, and in
the reign of.Charles II. if great number'
of additions were made to, it. The
new buildings in the Tower were com-
pleted in 1.850.
Collecting Antiques.
" The little town was highly excited
over the announced engagement of the
nineteen -year-old widow to Mr. Hoary.
"Why, Daisy," he best friend said to
the young widow, "you're not going to
tie yourself to that old man? Why,
he's three times your age! What are
you doing it for?"
"Oh, I can't resist having him!" said
tbe young widow, "He does harmonize
so'' beautifully with my antique furni-
ture!".
Where He Was Weak.
That boy of 'Mile knows a lot of
Latin," said Mr, Cobbles.
:`YHees?1:1'n trapslate theaf:Ta' atin`eWbrds
on a silver dollar just like a flash, but
riot unless setnehody lends him th'
dollar."
,T -Wo Causes.
a Of course anliapniness is the cause
of divorce', and much of the unhappi-
ness is due to the eircumstance that
the wife has nothing to do at home in
the daytime and the husband has en-
tirely too much to do downtown af
night

MADE MALTA A GARDEN.
The Island Was Once Merely a Rock
In the Mediterranean.
What Malta was like before the
Maltese found it one cannot imagine,,
says the Manchester Guardian. , Pre-
sumably there was some soil some -
'where, hiddenamong the little valleys
that scar the golden rock. But there
was very little soil. Most of the island
must have been just plain rock, with
nothing hrpartieularjo recommend it
But sOmewhereein the dawn of his-
tory there, came1 an industrious, -in-
genious race and proceeded to make
:he best of it. They have Ueen doing
that all down the centuries, till now
they have,reduced it to a fine art, and
the barrenrock is a garden from end
to end.
They realized, those clever Alaltese.
that, although they might not have
earth enough to 'grow their food, tbere
were plenty of people who had enough
and to spare. So they sent their ships
abroad, and the ships eame back load-
