In tho came tomb were found many
personal ornaments of equal excellence
of workmanship. One of these Is, a heavy
gold necklace, which actually surrounded
the neck of n. dead king, and "which Is

Herodotus says that when a Scythian
king died his body, after helm; subjected
to preservative treatment, was carried
around unions' all the provinces that ho
had governed, and afterward placed In a
tomb, surrounded by golden vases and
other objects. He also avers that fifty
horses nnd fifty young men were slain,
and, the bodies of the young men bolng
mounted and fixed on the backs of the
dead horses, this cavalcade of death was
arrayed In a guardian circle about the
royal tomb, tho horses rearing on. hind

It carries us directly back to tho days
and scenes described by Herodotus, and,
like so many other modern discoveries cjf
the kind, it tends to show that the
"father of history" was one of tho best
Informed ns well as one of tho most
truthful writers that ever lived.
Tho most important part of the dis
covery consists of a previously undis
turbed tomb pf a Scythian king,' ,who
probably lived In tho fourth century be
fore Christ, or, say, a hundred years
later than Herodotus himself.
Tho body of the king was found pre
terved In the manner described by Herod
otus tiB peculiar to the Scythians, and
withit wore discovered bronze and Iron
weapons, nnd gold and silver ornaments
of tho highest Interest, some of which
ore of great beauty, as, for instance, tho
magnificent vase of massive silver, cov

three, different sides of which are here

The workmanship of this vase Is aston
ishing, considering tho fact that the
Scythians were a. race of nomads, wan

other necessity drove them, nnd not erect

some of their kings were very fond of
Greek ideas, and this Is borne out by the
aspect of tho ornaments found In tho

Men are blind on the human nature fide.
When they attempt to handle qu-jtlons
Involving men they handle them as they
would cattle, by force or terror. With
women they have a softer hand, though
that s under protest. It Is a concession
to what man have long tolerated, though
with a poor grace, woman's "touchiness."
Women provide tho curves of human
nature, men the angles, and It Is a cur
ious comm?nt that the curves understand
the angles, but to tho nngles the curves
lemaln to tho last a mystery. Men had a
glimmering sense of this extra knowl
edge of women, but not ono of them has
been clever enough, or gallant enough,
to give It Its right name. They have
talked of women's Intuition, their strange
half childlike, half animal scent of tho
truo character, but not once have they
applied the term that fits that rare and
needful quality The word Is "penetra
tion." A man and woman stand beside the
stream of human nature. Man sees the
bright surface of it. Ho notes the swift
nous or slowness of Its current. A
woman sees the mud and the pebhles at
the bottom
Men have even deigned to be guided by
this quality. I know a western railroad
president who told me that If his wife
didn't like a nyin ha never employed
him. "At first I used to laugh at her

tolerant unlle and his unpleasant little
oral postscript, "Women are strange
creatures."
A striking example of man's blind ac
ceptance of the truth they cannot un
derstand is tho practice of newspapers to
send h, woman on a difficult story. The
most difficult task on a newspaper Is to
Induce someono to tell what he doesn't
