Clay inblels, bricks and tallies of

records. Despite such crude ■equip
ment, the Assyrians itniKliiihyUminns
possessed astonishing libraries. The
j library of Snrgon at Agade contnined
j thousands of volumes, including
: works on astronomy and astrology
j it ltd many books of fables. The clmr-
I .‘tilers were impressed with a metal
| stylus on soft clay tablets, which
j were then baked In the sun or In h

| wore written on leaves. Several
copies of the Bible wore written on
palm leaves, mid some may still lie
seen in museums. It is from this that
the term “loaf" as applied to ;i sheet
in n .volume, is derived. In the 'Book
of Job ment'oii Is made of writing

Pathetic Reunion of

This snappy question shot forth
from (lie lips of Goldstein Blgpurse,

“Only me,” came tlio answer, and
I he burglar turned his lnntern upon

Lucky Animals
Animal mascots? become ever more
and more i*opular. Dancers are wear
ing little black pigs In elllgy. The
fisherman's mascot is the petrel, the
omen of good weather. The black cat
is almost universally considered lucky,
but Otis is specially so with actors
nnd actresses. Many of "the profes
sion" would not dream of playing a
first night through without a sum 11
black cut charm of some sort. Thu
ait'iimn’s mascot is the eagle, and a
gardener will often keep tor luck a
charm in the form of a toad. People
with gray eyes should always choose
a monkey mascot. Brown eyes will
find the horse a lucky animal, and
Mire eyes should wear a little bear
charm. A quaint colored butterfly is
the best luck-brlnger for green-eyed
people. It is unlucky for fair-haired
people to wear any mascot in the form
of a snake, and a mouse charm will
only bring bad luck to anyone who is
rush chough to wear it.
Whistler Stories
A flippant reply to the secretary of
a London club w-hero Whistler's ac
count was past due produced this re
tort :
“Dear Mr. Whistlef: It Is not u
Nocturne in Purple or a Symphony in
Blue and Gray we are after, hut an
Arrangement in Gold and Silver.”
The money was paid.
A certain gentleman whose portrait
Whistler bad painted failed to appre
ciate the work, nnd finally remarked:
“After all, Mr. Whistler, you can’t
call that a great work of art.”
"Perhaps not," replied the painter,
“but, then, you can't call yourself a
great work of nature.”—Kansas City
Times.
Vanity Not Fault of
North Carolina Man
When John Cerraclit, an Italian
sculptor, wrote to Hugh Williamson,
one of North Carolina's notables, in
lho early days of America, requesting
1dm to sit for his bust, “not on ac
count of getting Mr. Williamson's in
fluence In favor of the Nation ail mon
ument ; (Ids is a subject too worthy I
to lie recognized; but merely on ac- |
count of his distinguished character, j
that will produce honor to the artist,” J
Williamson replied: |
“Mr. Hugh Williamson is ranch |
obliged to Mr. Cerrachl for the honor
intended him, and could not possibly
suppose that Mr. Cerrachl had offered |
such n compliment by way of a bribe, !
for a man In bis public station who i
could accept a bribe or betray a trust I
ought never to have Ids likeness made j
except from a block of wood.
“Mr. Wiiliafason in tiie meantime, j
cannot avail himself of Mr. Cerrachl’s \
services, as ho believes that posterity |
will not lie solicitous to know what j
were tlie features of ids face."—Kan

Chinaman Carried Off
Maiden of His Choice'
“I.nh-lmli,” or (lie “twelfth moon
eighth day” is always lucky for mar
riages. l’ofir people of the Anhui
province in China can be sure of an
nus|ileIous day without going to tiie
expense of consulting the fortune-
tellers.
This year in the town of Lluanchow
there was a novel marriage proce
clou. A young man of twenty-two
wanted bis iu-idv, hut iter parents are
stild to have thought him too poor for
tiie girt, .and demanded n sum of
money which dbey thought would end
in (lie riiatch'bolng broken off. Friends
suggested lie should abduct tiie girl
so on the auspicious “eighth" lie and
u few friends went to tiie girl's home,
and -they were in such force ns to
carry tiie day. To prevent anythin
like lawlessness the bride nnd groom
were bound together buck to back and
tiie young man was marched oil*, like
tiie snail,-with ids house cldu 11—wifi
—ou tills back. The girl had protest
ed she did not want to lie Ids wife
and apparently sulked, hut next day
filings were smoothed over by friends,
“But wiry tie them back to hack?
asked one. “Oh, to stop tlig^glrl from
struggling," said a friend of the
groom. In other words It was cave
man stuff.—North China Herald.
J ' Geographic Joke
Panama perpetrates one of tiie
| greatest of geographic jokes on t lio.->e
who visit It. It convincingly makes
cast west. From Panama City the
snn rises out of tiie Pacific, which to
most American minds is Hie proper
place only for setting suns. And lie
who sails through tiie canal from
tiie Atlantic to the Pacific travels
aiot from east to west, as lie nntiirai-
iry ‘expects to do, but from west to
east, <«r, mare .accurately, from north
west to sotnlieast. One gels tiie ini
■press-ion, as one writer lias phrased
if, Hint, “there is something crooked
about tlds.” The crookedness is found
to lie in the Isthmus, which mils pre
dominantly east and west, instead of
north and south, and in addition
makes a double curve like tlie letter
S, so that at one place the Atlantic
waters are actually west of those of
tiie Pacific.—National Geographic So
ciety Bulletin.
Planned City or Refuge
In 1821 1111 idea occurred to the late
Mn). Mordecai M. Noah, a distin
guished Israelite of the city of New
York, then editor of a prominent po
litical journal called the National
Advocate, that Grand island, iu the
Niagara river, would make a suitable
itsyiti: 1 for the Jews of all nations,
whereon' il ay could establish a great
city and become emancipated from
the oppression bearing so heavily Up- !
on them in foreign countries. Tiie ;
city of Ararat), which lie contoinplut- !
ed founding for this purpose, never j
developed after a series of failures |
and d: appointments on Ids part. i
Lincoln. Myth Exploded
The position of the hands of a Jew- |
dor's clock sign !.? cue which has been
selected for Hie reason that It fur
nishes the greatest facility to meet
Hie requirement for painting the long
er name above tiie hands and tiie
shorter word below. The minute hand
has been varied In position from 7 to
25 minutes after 8. Sometimes (lie
longer name requires to be written
in a semicircle above the hands. There
have been stories connected with tiie
death of Lincoln Hint the positiou of
the hands Is commemorative of the
hour of (lie death, but this story can
bo shown to lie false from Die simple
fact Hint the hour of tiie death of !
Lincoln was not at 8:22 o'clock. Fur
ther, the use of tlds posit Ion of tiie
hands of the clock is believed to have
preceded Lincoln's dentil.
Wanted, Temperaturel
Bast winter Mr. and Mrs. Brown
were ill with the “llu” In separate
rooms. One morning, henring a con
versation going on between the -col
ored maid and Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown
asked the mahl when slve entered her
room if .Mr. Brown had any fever. The
maid replied that she did not know.
Mrs. Brown tlion said to the maid:
"Go and ask Mr. Brown if lie lias any
temperature this morning. Tell him
I liaven'<t any. 1 ’
As Hie maid left the room, she left
Hie door open, and Mrs. Brown over
heard tiie following conversation:
“Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown sa.v Is yon
got nay temperature this morning?"
Mr. Brown replied: “I don’t know
whether I have any or not, Lucy."
And Hie maid said: “Well, If you is
got any she wants some, cause she
ain't got none tills morning."—Youth’s
Companion.
“Fossil Raindrops”
In slabs of Trlassic rock little de
pressions tire often seen that have j
been called "fossil raindrops," the idea J
being that they were formed by show
ers on muddy sea beaches, and pro- 1
served by being covered with a layer !
of mud at tiie next high tide.
But lately it 1ms been suggested, in
view of observations on n flood plain
in the Dorn valley, that the supposed
impressions of rain drops may really
be due to pittlngs formed by bubbles
in n film of mud at tiie bottom of shal
low water. There have been watched |
the formation of many pittlngs, and j
it has been found that after the mud j
br.s dried they exactly resemble “l'os- j
: d 1 raindrops.”
Playing-Cards Differ
American playing-card manufactur
ers have ji profitable market awaiting
(hem in Mexico and other Spanish-
speaking American countries. Bur
cards must be of patterns different
from those to which Americans tire ac
customed. People In those countries
demand Hie Spanish pack, which eon
sists of only 40 cards, nnd tens. Fur
thermore, the face cards him different.
The 11 pc (called “ s") Is much like
oni'I I he rev’ (king) wears a crown,
the qiie-.n Is represented by a young
woman, and the jack (“caliall") Is a
horse.
Me. t of the playing cards used In
Spnnish-Amerienn countries ure im
ported from Spain, and are smaller
limn- ours. Commonly they are thin
nnd flimsy, so as to be hard to shut-
file, and tearing easily.
fJnderstand Now That
Sun Radiates Health
Two architects nt Paris have built
n bouse of which any room may have
sunshine at any moment of the day,
provided the sun Is shining. It turns
on a pivot like a railroad turntajile. A
finger on the electric-button Is all lliat

Our doctors and scientists have Just

Nature Has Provided
for Needs of Aphids
Aphids are Hie tiny Insects that live
on the tips of tender plants and Hie
under side of leaves. -Tiie extraor
dinary tiling about them Is that al
though they can exist for generations
without wings, Winn (be need arises
they can grow Jlteni jp a night. The
aphids ■arc sap-suckers. They settle
down, drive their beaks into the bark
until they reach tiie sap, then sit con
tentedly drinking their fill. They arc
so '.contented, in fact, that they often
si their skins, casting off legs nnd
eyes, and cling there blind etui help
less. Clinging thus, Hie helpless moth
ers give .'birth to their young, who
having eyes and logs, run about quite
actively until they find Hie sap
streams. The processes tiro repeated
until Hie plant harbors so many of
these tiny creatures that they drink
all Its san, and (he plant dies. Tho
aphids, having to seek now sources of
food, produce a generation of aphids
with wings. These they unfurl and
then fly to 11 live plant.—Bomlou Tit-

that germs‘change their diameter In

Leprosy, smallpox and scarlet fever
