An Important Case 1'ondliiK In the United States Court. A somewhat complex land title case came up before Judges Dundy and 13rowor in the United Slates court. A man named Hurley owned land in Lancaster county , in this state , und a man named Flynn began a suit to quiet titlo. Hurley resided In Maryland and could not bo sorvcd with n summons nnd the latter was executed Ihrugh the news papers of this stale. When the case cauio up in the district court Flynn was granted the title , in action , to the lands. Flynn then sold the land to Uickotl & Wilson , und they in turn disposed of it to a man named Arndt. Hurley , after the decree had boon granted , disposed of tlio land to Griff * , nml now Arndt and Griffs are contesting ownership. In an ejection suit of Griftn against Arndt a ruling was made in favor of the former by the United States supreme court on tbo grounds that the decree granted Flynn was void. In this Judge Hrowcr agreed but Judge Dundy dissented , and accordingly a certill- cute of division was agreed upon and the Huino will be referred back to the supreme court for final action. The uiutLor of a .iln referring It is to settle the point of law as rcgnrdH the summons service. 1 > lhi In the ease of John F Snawig against Amos W.vimns , the defendant was given ton davs to lilo a reply.

Baltimore Sun : Cuneiform tables found during the present year in the grnvo of royal scribe of Amonoplila III. and IV. , of the XVIII. dynasty Imvo brought to liht | a most interesting chapter in the history of unciont Egypt. It has been known that largo numbers of Semites of the same race as the Is raelites nnd possibly themselves Israe lites fought in the Egyptian urmios and built the great wall on the cast of Egypt and pyramids in the Nile valley , but it has not till now been nuulo clear what first led to the migrating from Mesopotamia to the land of the Pha raohs. The tablets explain the puzzle. They are for the most part letters ad dressed to Amcnophis , nnd among them is the correspondence of this king with Tushratta , king of Mesopotamia. AmonophiH , it appears , was a mighty hunter. In the lirst ten years of his reign ho killed , it is alleged , 102 lions with hla own hand in the plains of Mesopotamia. Co this as it may , in the course of one of hid oxpedUions in bourch of big gu-ino no mot Ti , the lovely daughter of Tushratta , and foil in Move with her. His suit prospered and in due time their nup tials wore celebrated , and Ti went down into Egypt accompanied by 317 of her principal ladies , These Scinotio beau ties produced , it appears , a favurablo impression upon the Egyptians. Their charms led to the advent of others of their countrymen , who , finding" that Egypt offered a favorable Hold for their inherent business capacities , settled down in great numbers and gradually acquired possession of tliu lauds taud goods of their hosts. The fact of the preservation of this library of cunnoi- form tablets testilies to the inlhienco of Queen Ti. Under her protection her countrymen probably enjoyed excep tional privileges. At any rate during her reign they prosnorod greatly , and during the reigns of the feeble sovereigns eigns that followed Ainonophis III they were probably able to maintain their position. Hut with the advent to power of the XIX dynasty came n chunge. Tlio aliens wore put to the uncongenial tasks of making brink and building walls , pyramids , etc. , until atlongih they rebelled and loft Egypt in a body for Pal estine. Inonoof tholottorstranslated by Mr. Bodge , of the British museum , Tu hrnttn proposes lirst the continuance of the arrangement mndo by their fathers for pasturing doublo-humpod camots , nnd thus loads up to the main proposal , which U that Alunio , his great- tiephnvr shall marry the daughter of King Amouophis. Mania , ho suggests , might bo allowed to visit the young lady nnd woo her In person. Suoh an alliance'would , ho considers , ho a bond of Union between the two countries. As though by rvn afterthoughthe udda thut an article Amenophis had asked for would bo sant at once , and with it "largo gold jars , largo gold plates and other articles of gold. " The wily Tush- ratta returns , after tltla meaning Inter polation , to tlio inarrlaJTo question , and promises to dUTta hanusoinnly in the matter of the tlov ry as his grand father had done on n 11 co occasion. As for the resources of h s kingdom , ho boasts that "its cold is 1 ice dust which cannot bo counted. " lit cancludos with nn enumeration of tl 0 presents of pence ho sends by the hear ref the letter gold vessels inlnld with lapls-lazuli , turonty pieces if Inpis-lazuli , nine- Icon inlaid gel 1 objects of cased gold , forty-two ol : , octs made of precious stone , harness , cli iriots , carved wooden articles , and tin rty ounuchs. Lapis lazuli , harness and chariots snoin to have been imported largely into Egypt from Mesopotamia , A letter from Kuri-Gatou , Klngt > f Knrndunlynsh , the traditional Garden of Eden , to Amno- phis IV. , asks for gold for the ornamen tation of the house of his god , and olTors in return anything. Amenophis may want from Babylonia. Monnwhllo Kuri-Galzu sends , u lot of Inpls-lazull , ten sots of narncss , flvo chariots and various woods. A.third letter from the King of Alashlya to Amonophls shown that very pleasant International rela tions existed. The writer nsks that the property of a subject ot his who Imd died in Eg.ypt bo sent back to his lam- lly. Ho begs also that Amenophis will accept "live vessels of bronze , the like of which are not mtulo In I3gypt , " with a hull Amonophh had nskou for. Ho premises to so ml also certain trees the Icing of Egypt desired. In return for nil his gifts' the Iring of Alashiya asks for only "two kukupu jar.- > and a man who understands eagles. " What a "kukupu" jar is wo are unuablo to say precisely , but it appears from those letters that dales the hrlc-a-brnc crane back to 1000 13. C. and perhaps u good deal farther. Types of Frontier Idfo. Theo. Roosevelt in Century : I have always boon treated with the utmost courtesy by cowboys , whether on the round-tin or in camp ; and the few ronl desperadoes that I have soon wore also perfectly polite. Indeed. I never was shot at maliciously but onco. This was on an occasion when I had to pass the night in a little frontier hotel where the barroom occupied the whole lower lloor , and was in consequence the plnco where everyone , drunk or sober , had to sit. My us&ailant-was neither a cowboy nor a bona lido "bad man , " but a broad- hattod rulllan of cheap and common place type who had for the moment tor- rom.eu the other men in the barroom , these being mostly sheep herders tvnd small grangers. The fact that I were glasses , together with my evident de sire to avoid a fight , apparently gave him the impression a mistaken ono that I would not resist nn injury. The deadly nITray that took placa in our town after the cattlemen came in and regular so tile mo uL began was be tween a Scotch nan and a Minnesota man , the latter Idling ono of the small stockmen. Both End shooting : records , and each wusa , mfh ; with ti varied past. The Scotchman , a'notod bully , was tbo more daring of the two , but he was much too hotheaded and overbearing to bo a match for his gray-oycd , hard- featured foo. After a furious qunrrol and threats of violence , the Scotchman mounted his horse , and , rlllo in hand , rode to tlmrJ Qon of tb& " mud ranch perched on tho.hrinlc of the river bluff , -whoro tli6 1Amqrj6aiil lived , and was in stantly shot-dp vn tjy the latter from behind - hind a cornc.V.jDtnq | .b.uilding. Later" onrLonco opened.ajcowbpy ball with the wife of the vLetor in ' 'this ' contcbtf tHb" husband lumStalf 'dhlfoiiig opposite. It was the la-ncbrsJand , Ho knew nil the steps far bettor-than I did. Ho could have danced a-minuot very well with a little practice. The sbone reminded ono of thd ball where Br'oto Ilnrto's heroine "flanco'd down the middle with the man who shot. Sandy Magee. " But though thcro were plenty of men present each of whom had shot his luckless Sandy Mngco , yet there was no Lily of Poverty Flat. There is an old and true border saying that "tho fron tier is hard on women and cattle. " There are some exceptions ; but , as a rule , the grinding toil and hardships of a life passed in the wilderness , or on its outskirts , drive the beauty and bloom from n woman's , face long before her youth has loft hor. . By the time Hho is a mother she lasin'ewy und angularnnd thin , compressed lips and furrowedsal low brow. But she has a hundred qual ities that atones for the grace she lacks. She ia a good mother nnd a hardworking ing housewife , always putting things to rights , wushitig and cooking for her stalwart spousrt and offspring. She is faithful to her husband , and , like the true American thut she is , oxaots a faithfulness in return. Peril cannot daunt her , nor hardship and poverty appall her. Whether on the mountain in a log hut chinked with moss , in a seder or adobe hovel on the desolate prnlrie , or in a mere temporary camp.whero the white-topped wagons have been drawn up in a protection-giving circle near some spring , Hho is equally at homo. Clad in a dingy gown and a hideous sunbonnet - bonnet , eho goes bravely about her work , resolute , silent , uncomplaining. The children grow up pretty much ns fate dictates. Even when very small they seem well able to protect them selves. The wife of ono of my teamsters - stors , who lived in a small outlying camp , used to keep the youngest and most troublesome members of her fam ily out of mischief by the simple expe dient of picketing them out , each child being tied by the log with a leather ' strin'g. toastalccdrivon into the ground , BO that it could neither get at another child nor at anything breakable. Tlio best buckskin maker that I ever mot was , if not a typical frontiers- woman , at least a woman who could not have reached her full development save on the border. She inado llrnt-cluss hunting shirts , Coggings and gauntlets. When I knowtyqr she was living alone in her cabin in mMrprairlo , having dis missed her husband six months urovl- ously in an oxpqed iigly summary man ner. She not only possessed rodoubt- nblo qualities of hond and burnt , but nlso a nlcn HOIISO of justice , even toward Indians , thnt in npt always found on the frontier. Once , going thcro for a buck skin shlrl , I mot at her cabin three Sioux , and from their loader , named , One Bull , purchased a tobacco pouch , beautifully worked with porcupine nuills. She had given them some dinner , for which they had paid with a door.hldo. Falling i'nto conversation slio mentioned that just before I came up , n while man , apparently from Deadwood - wood , had passed by and had tried to steal the Indians1 horses. The latter had boon two quick for him , had run him down and brought him hack to the cabin. "I told "em to go right on and hang him , and I wouldn't never cheep about It , " said my informant ; "but they lot him go after taking his gun. There ain't nosonso in stealing from Indians anyjuore than from white folks , and I'm not going to have it round my ranch neither. Thcro ! I'll give 'om hack the door-hldo they give mo for the din ner and things , anywiiy. " 1 told her that 1 sincerely wished wo could .make her Bhorifl nnd Indian agent. She made the Indians and whites too , for that matter behave themselves and walk the stralghtost kind of a line , not tolerating the least symptom of rebel lion , but she had u strong natural sense of justice. The cowboy balls spoken of nbovo nro always great events in the small towns where they take place. Being usually given when the round-up passes near , everybody round about comes in for them. They are almost al ways conducted with great decorum ; no unseemly conduct would bo tolerated. There Is usually some master of the ceremonies , chosen with duo regard to brawn as well as brain. lie calls off the figures of the square dances w > thatoven the inexperienced may got through them , and incidentally preserves order. Sometimes wo are nil owed , to wear our revolvers , and sometimes not. "The na ture of the band , of course , depends upon the si'/.o of the place. I remember ono ball that came near being n failure because our half-breed liddlcr "wont nnd got himself shot , " as the indignant master of ceremonies phrased it. But all these things are merely incidents in cowboy's life. It is utterly unfair to judge'tho whole class by what a few in dividuals do in the course of two or three days spent in towninstead of by the long months of weary , honest toil common to all alike. To appreciate properly his line , manly qualities , the wild rough-rider of the plalarf should bo seen in bis own homo. There ho passes his da.ys ; thcro ho does his lifework ; there , when ho meets death , ho faces it ns ho has faced many other evils , with quiet , uncom plaining fortitude. Brave , hospitable , hardy and adventurous , ho is the grim pioneer of our race ; ho prepares the way for the civilization from before whoso face he must himself disappear. Hard and dangerous though his exist ence is. it has .Vet a wildjittraction that strongly draws to it his bold , free spirit. Ho lives in the lonely lands where mighty rivers twist in long roaches between the barren bluffs , where the prairies stretch out into billowy plains of waving grass , girt only by tlio blue hori/.on plains across whose endless breadth ho can steer his course for .days and weeks and see neither man to speak to nor hill to break the level ; where the glory and the burning splen dor of the sunsets kindle the blue vault of heaven and the level brown earth till they merge. together in an ocean of llaming iiro.C. . An Important Experiment. Chicago Tribune : An elaborate sys tem of experiments conducted by the Agricultural college of Michigan show that milk nnd butter products are slightly increased by warming the water drank by dairy cows. Prof. John son , who directed these experiments , says the results are not so pronounced in'favor of warm water as was expected , and the difference is so slight as scarcely to pay for warming1 the water. Though the gain in milk and butter may hardly pay the dairyman , never theless we may say the improvement of the cow's condition by the artificial warmth of the water is great. The an imal may bo compared to an inanimate motor lilce the steam engine , deriving all its power for locomotion and diges tion from its internal heat. Ordinarily the heat necessary to keep the animal in health and vigor and to enable it to resist external cold is evolved within its body by the mechanical changes going on in the process of digesting its food. When this supply of animal heat runs low , as it Is sure to do in a severe winter , the animal suffers In all its or gans. But if the natural heat is sup plemented by the artificial heat in the water the animal drinks all its func tions are strengthened and its ability to endure severe cold is considerably in creased. Heat is also a powerful stimulant to the heart , so that a cup of hot tea is much more refreshing than a cold ono. There is , therefore , every reason to be lieve that if the Michigan experiments were tried generally on dairy farms in winter the results would decidedly in crease the farmer's profits. llo Ijcnrncd tlio lluslncsi.
