EXPULSION FROM ETON.

A MOTHER AND THE HEADMASTER.

London, June 25th, The following interesting correspori- dence appears in the Dasty fail:-

Sre-Will you kindly insert the follow ing case in your valuable paper?

My boy, Edward Broughton-Adderley, and another get out of Mr. Booker's house, Eton College, Monday night, and wont to Maidenhead for a lark." They wero caught and expelled the next day my son's first offence in three years.

I also hope you will kindly publish the letters I enclose. The **instigator" of this lark funked at the last moment and so got off. To treat two boys of ifteen like criminals is inexpressibly unfair for such a small cffence, especially __as_the-headmaster of Eton is not above condoning, at times, far greater offences.

FALL AND FLOOD.

PRE-SEMITIC ACCOUNT DISCOVERED.

A discovery of the utmost importance in Biblical archeology has just been made by Dr. Langdon, the Reader in Assyrio logy at Oxford, who has found among the early Babylonian tablets distinterred at Nippur a pre-Semitic account of the Delage which is described as “clearly the original of that preserved in the book of Genesis tablet containa

Further, the same a reference to the Fall of Man, brought about by his eating certain fruit. This is the first reference to the Fall that has been found in Babylonian literature. The tablet came from the early library of Nippur, which was destroyed during an invasion of Babylonia by the Elamites in the age of Abraham,, and is now with a number of others in the museum at Philadelphia. In October of last year, ]r. Langdon, visited the museum and copied the inscription of about 50 tablets Dr. Lyttleton's Letter,

of the Nippur collection. The inscrip- The Cloisters, Eton College,

4.As there has been no vicious conduct it is quite ongy for you to state the facta without qualification or concealment, and everybody will understand,

The boy is so fighty and unsteady that it is very doubtful if he could have remained at Eton without risk of a far more serious collapse

6.This being so, you may rest assured that the shock will do him permanent good if you do not spoil it all by taking his side against authority. Please remember that every violent speech you make in his presence will encourage him in resisting law, to which he is already dangerously

The hyma contains the Babylonian version of the Flood, and in contrast with the To keep you Healthy and Vigorous. famous "Chaldean Account of the Deluge" discovered by George Smith in 1872, it agrees with the Biblical account in the name of the patriarch who was saved from the catastrophe by reason of his piety. It further agrees with the Biblical narrative in making him a gardener " or agriculturist, and in the duration nine months assigned to the flood. The name of the patriarch is given as Tagtog-Semitic Nuhu. It is related that after the flood Noah became "like the geds" which is interpreted to mean that herrceived the gift of extraordinary longevity. The version says that Oannes, (the Babylonian for the god Enki, the water god) taught Noah the secrete of things and revealed to hith the wisdom possessed by the gods.

I am glad for their sake, but Jam incapable, of taking such a caso of injustice lying down, and perhaps I have gone too deeply into life to care for your consolation.

Moreover, you will be much less liable to suffer from fevers, boils, liver affections, dysentery, and other stomach and bowel complaints, owing to the fact that Sanatogen greatly increases those vital elements of the blood whose function it is to destroy attacking disease germs,
