He was generally believed by all the

Vt'nuiHii 9 AOll Year Ago.
Tventy-flve hundred years ngo a
princess of the royal family of Assyria
wrote a letter to a lady of tho imperial
comt in which the latter was haught
ily rebuked for presuming to tiso tho
familiar tltln of "sister" in addressing
I he loynl lady. Yesterday In Daltlmoro
mi Knglish translation of this letter
wan published bv the Johns Hopkins
University. Dr. Christopher Johnston
has been working foromo time topux-
zle out tho dlgnllletl torfna In which one
woman nf those ancient days rebuked
another.
TI10 letter was not written with ink
upon a sheet of tinted paper as would
be done by a fair damn to-day but was
Inscribed In cuneiform characters upoa
a tablet or baked clfty. It Is In thirteen
lines and the royal indy did not waste
words to expresu her contorapt at tho
oilici's Impertinence Tho tablet wan
written only a few yenro before tho de
strmtlon of Nineveh and tho over-
ilnow of the Assyrian umpire which
Ik generally placed by historians an
having occurred In 600 I). 0. It Is ouo
nl tlie few remains of that period which
ii.iw I'omo down to the scholars of tho
present day. It was discovered a scoro
01 more years ago and many Assyiiolo-
UtH have tried their hand at a trans-
lation Dr. Johnston In working upon
it did not have the original tablet but
a picture of it. The royal lady who
wrote the letter or who probably dic-
tated it to her scribe wub tho Princess
dhoruaaterat a granddaughtor of tho
famous Assyrian monarch Azurbana-
pal called Sardanapnlus by Groen wrlt-
et who in addition to being a great
conqueror was the founder of an ex-
tensive public library and a patron ot
literature and the arts. The lotter is
translated by Johnston:
Message of the king's daughter to
Asshur-Bharrat Thou dost not prop-
erly address thy letter to tno nor uso
the tltln to me befitting thy station.
People might say "Is sho tho sister oC
Sheruaetcrat the oldest daughter ot
Ashur-etll-llanl-ukinnl tho great king
the mighty king king of hosts king of
Assyria?" Rut thou art only tho
danxhter or the daughter-in-law of the
wire of Anurbanapal eldest son of
fCsarnaddon king or Assyria.
I . Johnston suggests that this last
nantcDce hs probably a crushing blow
for the re ipieut of Uie letter as ths
(ici ullar expression "daughter ot tho
luughier-ln-Iaw ot Asurbanapat's wife"
wj most likely a refereire to soma
delectable ML or court scandal In tho
r.imous .Vdatlc empire. The doctor al--o
said ti .a the ittbuke was a perfect-
I' pioper ono from what is known to-
'l.iy of Astiyrlin llquette In letter writ-
ing. "If the lady Assnur-Bharratt ad-
ilressod Uie prln'-ees as sister wiUiout
'Ming so related" said tie "she certain-
ly committed a gross breach of ell-
iu it. .md v..iA Kdllty of an imperil-
