It Influence extended far boyotul the borders of tho realm and mado Itself felt anions tho outaldo nations, enduring lorn? alter tho nation Itself had cenmd to be. This wa tho lllttito nation, tho tnystiry and ballllng i tzilo of archaeology. What little Is known of tho Hlttltes Is derived from tit" bible and from Assyrian and Egyptian Inscriptions. All tho erudition of modern scholarship, all the genius and patience that translated tho urrow-hoaded inscriptions and made clear tho nnclrnt writings cut Into tho l.rlchs of Nippur, have failed to throw a mnglo ray of light upon tho strango lan Kuego of the Hlttlics or to cull from their enduring records in stono one definite his torical fact about this onco mighty race. Kmlcavor In this direction has recently been stimulated by tho finding among tho ruins of thu ancient city of Habylon. by the German scholars and explores now ex cavating there, a stono monument of lllttito art nnd literature, in perfect condition, and Inscribed with a long legend In tho un translatable language. Tho monument was rctcntly found In tho ruins of a Dabylonlan temple to tho goddess NIn-Mach. It Is 4D Indus high. 21 Inchon wldo and 1 lnchos thick. On ono side Is n bas relief sculpturo of a lllttito deity, oxcellently preserved. Thero Is no doubt that this Is tho god of thunder, for ho graBps In ono hand tho triplo fork which so often represents light ning In ancient art. Hut tho Inscription Is not bo slmplo a matter. Clear cut as tho characters are, not all tho scholars In tho world can trnnslato tho legend, or even evolve from tho characters an alpha betical system. Hut even to tho eye of one who has no acquaintance with nnclent languages tho inscription Is Interesting plctorlally. Ono character represents an arm, another u leg and n foot; still another tho outline bust of a man with his hand raised to his face, and thero are squares, angles nnd other familiar figures, each one seeming to mean something when consid ered by Itself, but without attainable moan ing when regnrded In total. Within those slmplo looking characters lies tho socrot that an archaeologist would glvo a llfetlmo of toll to learn. I'.iodllN of the IIIHIIix. Students of tho blblo will recollect that among tho nations which wero driven out of tho Promised I.nnd by tho Israelites under tho leadership of Joshua, tho Hlttltes nro mentioned. This, scholars agree, must liavo been when tho lllttito power was waning, for It was several centuries before this that Sell and Uameses. I'hnraohs of Kgypt, sent out sovoral expeditions against tho Hlttltes and reduced them to subjection If tho inscriptions upon tho walls of tho great tcmplo at Karnak are to bo believed. ' It Is also known that tho Hlttltes hold swov In tho city of Carchcmlsh on tho Kuphratcs, for many of tho puzzling In Kcrlptlous attributed to them have been found In tho ruins of that great emporium of tho day. It Is not known with certainty to what raco they belonged, although tho pictures of tho Hlttltes found In Kgypt liavo led many to tho conclusion that they were Mongolians, tor mo piginn. sun found in China, and tho Btralght noso and receding forehead prove absolutely thai, they could not have been of tho Semitic race. Ilka tho llabylonlans, nor of tho Kgyptlan stock. Somo have suggested that tho Hlttltes wero Turanians, but no ono ran do moro than guess at tho matter. Ileforo a language can bo deciphered It Is necessary to know to which stock it bolongs, nnd this un certainty about tho origin of tho Hlttltes has only deepened tho difficulty In reading their Inscriptions. Some, llko Colonel Co tulcr, have thought that at last a solu tion of tho problem had been found, only to bo proved wrong In a few weeks by other scholars. Tho only hopo seems to lie In finding somo lllttito Inscription, Bldo by elilo with ono In another language, now known, which will nervo as a key. This Assyrian, which would Rive the key.

Hut this mysterious monument of a van ished rare, utterly swept from the face of the earth by the power of Kgypt and Assyria, and onco an ally of tho world powers of Its day, is not tho only' valuable discovery which has been made by tho that tho court of tho temple, containing a well, Is surrounded by rooms which aro shut off by doors from the court and show interesting raurnl ornamentations. In the court nnd rooms thero is a doublo tile pavement, with a space of six and n half feet between tho two pavements.

With truo (lennan thoroughness tho entire mound or series ol mounds covering tho slto of nncicnt Habylon is being cleared away. Without striving for sensational finds that may astonish tho world, tho explorers prefer to work thor oughly and reveal at lant tho glories of tho civilization and architecture of tho city of Nebuchndnczzar nnd his predecessors on tho tlirono of Assyria. They have already succeeded In finding tho great wall do i.crlbcd by Herodotus, and regarded as fictitious by critics of tho Katlior of His tory, whom they curtly termed tho I'ather of Lies. Herodotus, who visited Habylon In tho tlmo of Artaxerxes I (405 H. C), said that tho wall surrounding the city was fifty royal ells wldo nnd 200 ells high, (81 by 330 feet), and that on top of tho wnlls, cm each edge, wero one-story houses, leav ing a space between tho rows of houses, on which four chariots could drive abrea6t. r imy. v .D try e . t.mws i ill Jlt7trnJJi Uln f r i fiJJ ma- mm HITTITE INSCHIl'TION. was tho fortunnto accident which led to tho reading, both of tho hieroglyphics and of thu cuneiform Inscriptions, for In nno cabo it was tho Greek parallel version, In another tho rcrsian, which led to tho decipherment of tho lost tongue.

Whnt pretit idea was ever evolved from a blccpless brain ? What high ideal or lofty aspiration ever came from low vitality? It is the blood and nerves that move tho world physically, mentally, nnd morally. Napoleon had nerves of steel ut Aiistcrlitz nnd dyspepsia at Waterloo. King Hichard suffered the ngonics of insomnia the night before ho met Richmond on tho fatal Held of llosworth. s Low vitality, nervous weakness und ex haustiou causcamajority of failures in every walk of life. Are your nerves weak, slinky, and unstrung? Are you unable to sleep at night or do you have dreams? 13 it irksome to move, work, or think during the day? Do you have dizziness, loss of memory, dimness of vision ? Do you hnve tho blues, despondency, depression of mind ? Arc you troubled with weak back, tremors, trembling, or palpitation ? These aro some of tho symptoms of nervous dobllity, vital weak ness, nervous and physical exhaustion from over-work, excesses, und abuses. Tho exhausted and hopeless feelings which you experience are merely symptoms of tho disease. A thorough revitallzation is what you want. Science has provided u hpeeiQc for nervous debility, vital weak ness and vitiated blood. It is the discovery of tho famous Dr. Greene, and is known as Dr. tlreeno's Nervura blood and norvo remedy. Under the mngie influence of this wonderful medicines tho nerves soon regain their lost power nnd the spirits become buoyant ns the body grows htrong. Tho reinvigorated blood courses through tho veins, substitut ing health and vivacity for lassitude and despair. Thousands of people judges, statesmen, merchants, and working men testify from personal experience to the prompt and permanent ben efits of Dr. Greene's Nervura. The grent good it has done for them it will cortainlydo for you. It is a sin to suffer when relief is wlthlu reach. There are many cases of complex character which patients cannot fully understand.

These pay rolls are dated, giving day, month nnd year of tho reign of Nebuchadnezzar and Evll-Merodnch. From this It la evident that the coustrue tlon of tho building began during the reign of Nehuehadenezzar and was merely com- plotcd by Assurbnnlpnl, or Sardannpalus, as tho Greeks called him. A cylinder found In this templo has been translated by Dr Meltssner, tho Assyrlologlst of tho expedl tlon, and reads as follows: "Assur-baul p.il, the great king, tho mighty king, the king of tho world, tho king of Assyria, tho king of tho four ends of tho earth, tho king of kings, tho peerless prince, who rules from tho upper sea to tho lowor sea and treads all lower kings beneath his feet; tho son of Asarhnddon, of tho great king of tho mighty king, of tho king of tho world, of tho king of Assyria, of tho Lord of Ilabol.

Wonder In l'roprct. It has been proven In tho courso of the excavations that tho slto of this templo really lies In tho suburbs of tho city, nnd it was supposed that a mound, called Am run by tho Arabs, covered the chief Dabylonlan ruins. Kxravatlons aro now proceeding rapidly at this point and already somo ot tho ancient ruins nro being brought to light Deep down in this mound It Is expected that the palaco of Nebuchadnezzar will bo found, and here, too, must bo those marvelous hanging gardens, ono of tho wonders of tho world. A largo canal, used for bringing tho water from tho Euphrates, probably for watering thesu gardens, and railed Mull, has been found, nud within a short time It is probable that tho very arches upon which tho gardens were planted will como to light. They wero not actually hanging gardens, but rather elevated gardens, plonted upon nrches seventy-flvo feet high nnd extending fi00 feet In every direction, but covered with so deep a soil that tho largest trees grew there. From u distanco theso gardens Beemed to bang in thu nir, hence the name. But It was necessary to water these artificial layors of earth, nud tho water ol tho Euphrates was brought over In canal and raised to the proper height by somo method not yet eleur, but soon to bo ex plained by the discovery of tho gardons themselves. It Is in this anoro ancient part of the city that a largo amount ot Hnbylnulnn and Astyrlnn remains have como to light, con sisting not only of ancient wnlls, but also of many cylinders Inscribed In cuneiform characters, numerous ornaments and votlvo llgures, besides a building, tho top story of which contains stamped bricks of tho tlmo of Nebuchadnezzar. Tho lower portion muft be much older, but It Is only now being uncovered. Here, too, havo been found, upon somo of the seal cylinders, pictures of the god of thunder aud lightning, Hadad, much llko that ot tho lllttito deity, nnd ono of Marduk, a chief deity in ti Dabylonlan vantheoo. The rcsrescutatlCa of Marduk Is of espc'clal Interest, becauso hero ho stands In all his glory, with "wldo open" eyes nud ears, tho symbol of om niscience, and with n powerful right arm, the symbol of omnipotence. On tho cylin der to tho left of tho flguro nro eight lines of Inscription, ns follows: 'Tor Marduk, tho Orcat Lord, the Power ful, tho Exalted, Lord of All, Lord of Lords, mighty Judgo, who decides the fato of na tions, Lord ot tho Lands. Lord of Habylon, who dwelleth in Esnkkll has Marduk-nadln-schum, King of All. tho Sublime, his Wor- flltiiw TEHRA COTTA FIGURE OF GODDESS NIN-MACH FOPND IN HER TEMPLE. shlper, dedicated this seal, so that ho may live, that his family may prosper, that ho mny live long and his rule be established, that ho may destroy tho land of his foo, ho has given this seal of shining laplslazult, covered with beauteous gold, on ornament for his Rhlnlng neck." From the Inscription on this precious amulet It 1b evident that It was u gift to Marduk. and was placed about tho neck of ono of his statues, or was worn about tho neck of that Dabylonlan king, who was aided by Salmanezzar 11 (858-821 H. C), tho Assyrian monarch, who helped him to take away tho throno from his brother, Mnrdtik-belusato. It was in tho eighth year of his reign that Salmanezzar cumo to tho aBslstanco of Mardiik-nndln-Hchiim, putting his brother to flight, nnd afterward slay ing him In tho mountains. In this way tho discovery even of small amulets con firms great hletorlcol occurrences or legends, or gives us bits of ancient history unsuspected before. Tho vnluo of tho Ger man discoveries grows with each month, and It Is probablo that when tho work Is finished at old Habylon wo shnll havo a more complete, view of tho palaces, temples and of tho llfo of tho Assyrians beforo their fall from power than has yet been presented to tho world In tho case of nny other nation burled under tho dust of ages.
