A letter f<pm a Babylonian master to his servant 2,200 years before Christ, has been translated at the University of Pennsylvania. An accurate report of its contents has not yet readied tins office, but this is the tenor of it: "My Good Man: Owing to the present high prices in raw materials, and incidentally the consequent expenses of operation, it is impossible at present to give you the increase in salary you asked for. Do not despair, however. Good service never goes unrewarded. —Tlie Boss." Musk Radioactive. It has been recently determined that the penetrating quality of musk is due to certain radioactive properties which it possesses that cause odor of the perfume to lie carried through thio air in an extraordinary way, says the Indianapolis News. The radioactive property of musk affects strangely the natives who carry it to imirket. If a package of musk is held close to the body for any length of time it produces sores tliat are similar in character to those caused by pure radium. Canvas Tubing. More or less inconvenience alway.has accompanied tlie use of the tin duct, in supplying entiiation to miner, and other underground workers. Be cause of these facts, a manufacturer o canvas bags has set about making can vw tubing, which is meeting wit! favor where it has been tested. Th< canvas tube is easily mended whet punctured, and is also easily moved. Most Precious Thing. Sweet is the destiny of all trades whether of tlie brows or of tlie mind. God. never allowed any man to do nothing. How miserable is tlie conditio) of those men which spend the time a if it were given them, and not Gait; a. if hours were waste creatures ami sue! ,4is should never lie accounted for; as i God would take this for a good bill o reckoning.—Bishop Hull.
