Attest: By I. F. Bradley. Atty. Wm. Needles. Clerk. Dec. 7. Size of Ancient Babylon. Ancient Babylon was not such a great city as some have supposed, according to H. Valentine Geere, the archaeologist. He says: "The idea of Babylon's vastness and magnificence, to which we have become accustomed, has been practically exploded. Dr. Kodewey told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but ever so, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, is entirely erroneous. In point of fact, it appears that its walls were not more than eight miles in circumference. Moreover, the great palaces are shown to have been poor affairs after all, with wretchedly cramped apartments. SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WAR. Their Use Urged by a German Military Writer A writer in the Militar-Wochenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Bread Arrow. He writes approvingly of the Japanese spade work in the offensive, the more so because he mentions incidentally, as a matter regarding which there can be no dispute, that the German authorities have long since advocated the use of artificial cover in the attack, and points out that when the ground was frozen or rocky, and the spade could make no impression upon it, the attacking Japanese infantry not infrequently went forward, carrying with them filled sandbags weighing as much as forty pounds. He remarks that if the undoubtedly brave Japanese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and burdensome a protection when advancing in the open against an intrenched enemy it would seem far better to equip the infantry with a light, handy shield. Furnished with a handle by which to carry it, a loophole to fire through and some arrangement to prevent its falling down, the infantryman would then find himself, like his gunner comrade, protected by a bullet-proof shield.

"Deep auburn and the drab shades are the fashionable colors in hair this season," said the woman who makes hair coloring a speciality, as placidly as though she were commenting on the state of the weather or the advance style in dress goods. "One of my customers has to my knowledge worn five different colors or shades on her wavy tresses. Having been blessed with medium brown hair by nature she became a ravishing blonde when the fashion for bleaching first came in. "Next she took to titian red after a trip to the art galleries of Europe. Then she thought she would be more attractive as a brunette, and now her hair is drab. "The last is by far the most popular of all for the reason that is most difficult to obtain, and then it is pretty generally becoming, and it happens that women who are born with this particular color of hair are almost always clever. "How is it done? Well, in case of a woman whose hair is dark a bleach must first be used before the dye is applied. With women whose hair has turned gray it is a still simpler problem. The color lasts a year, while the head can be washed and even salt water bathing does not affect it."—New York Sun. What Money Will Do. They say that money can not buy The sweetest things in life— Health, heaven, friends, respect, content Heaven a loving wife. They say that money can not buy These things for me, alas!

What pays my specialist, dear Jim, What pays my specialist, dear Jim, To keep me in such perfect trim? Well—I don't know! What bought the most delightful wife A man could hope to win? What buys her every wish in life— The clothes she dazzles in? And if she is not for me, And I am not adored, you see, Well—I don't know! And heaven? Oh, of course, I don't Expect to get in free; But if the Lord meant what he said Concerning charity, The tite I will give before I die Will slip me onto the needle's eye, Or I—I don't know! For happiness? Well, money bought This city-centrality; It bought this chair in which I loll, It bought this private car; It bought this cognac—and, I guess, If all this is not happiness, What does it mean? FOR A GOOD ADVERSAL. A Welsh judge had before him a case in which a printer sued a pork butcher for the value of a large parcel of paper bags with the butcher's advertisement printed thereon. The printer, having no suitable illustration to embellish the work, thought he improved the occasion by putting an elaborate royal arms above the man's name and address, but ultimately the latter refused to pay. The judge, looking over a specimen, observed that for his part he thought the lion and the unicorn were much nicer than an old fat pig. "O well," answered the butcher, "perhaps your honor likes to eat animal like that, but my customer's don't. I don't kill lions and unicorns — I only kill fat pigs!" Verdict for defendant.—New York World. Building Up to Requirements A Kansas City man purchased a city lot with the restriction that he should not build a house on it to cost less than $2,500. After having paid for the lot he decided to build a $1,500 cottage. Before he had completed it the real estate man from whom he had bought the lot threatened to sue him for breach of contract. "This little shack you are building," said the real estate man, "lacks a whole lot of being a $2,500 house such as you agreed to build." AMERICAN HAIR GROWER BEFORE USING PICTURES TAKEN FROM LIFE.

Reasons for lateness were not much varied. At the top of the page one would write "Train delayed," or "Omnibus horse died," as the case might be, and the rest fell into the habit of making ditto marks and letting it go at that. But not long ago one man had a new excuse. He wrote with pride: "Wife had twins." The second slow person that morning was in a great hurry, and did not notice the innovation, but made his customary ditto marks, and the rest of the men on that page followed suit. The excuse book was abolished. Example of the Postage Stamp Example of the Postage Stamp. The late Judge Andrew Wylie, of Virginia, had a happy gift of illustration. The judge cast in 1860 the only vote for Lincoln that was given in Alexandria, Va. In an address on Lincoln he once illustrated in an odd way the power of perseverance. "Lincoln persevered," he said, "and it is only those who persevere, they who concentrate their energies, who succeed. Don't give three years to journalism and then, discouraged, try the law awhile. Don't learn the grocery business and in a little while take up placer mining or plumbing. Consider, rather, the postage stamp, whose useful depends on its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there." "Well," said the first policyholder, throwing aside his paper, "there is at least one thing we can be thankful for concerning our Mutual friend, Mr. McCurdy." 530 MINNESOTA AVE. 852 FREEMAN AVE In an Excuse Book: aner Water Filter r as a Crystal and Healthy. 75 cents.

The old sailor belongs alike to the navy and to the merchant service, for he served in both, and it would be difficult to say in which of the two his adventures were the most thrilling. His record includes three shipwrecks, the battle of Navarino, in which he won mention in orders, the blockade of Algiers, one capture by brigands, followed by himself and his companions seizing the Spanish ship which captured the corsair which had captured them.

Moriz Rosenthal, the famous pianist, is almost as well known for his wit as for his wonderful mastery of the plano. An interview which a some what inexperienced reporter had with ‘him might be taken as an example in instance. It ran something like this: “Do you think a true artist should be bound to tradition, should have no opinion of his own” “Some have several, suitable to var- fous climes and times.” “Should one practice scales?” ~ “One should not practice scales; one should play them, perfectly.” “Whom do you consider” a great modern composer?” “Strauss.” “Johann or Richard?” “Why be particular about such a trifling detail as a Christian name? Let us hold to the main questions?” “I would like your epinion of Go- dowski's arrangements.” “I think he has made arrangements for a winter four through Germany.” “I'see; but how dees De Pachmann’s left hand impress you?” | “It is small, white and well kept.” | “Should a composer print his opus | number?” | “No, he should indnee a well-paying | pubjisher to print it.” | “Where is the most Intelligent pub lie to be found?” “At my concerts.

A New Englander“feeently had oe. casion to engage a gardener. One ‘morning two applicants appearéd, one a decidedly decent looking man, and the other of much less propossessing appearance and manner. After vory little hesitation. the man of the house chose the latter ap- plicant. A friend who was present, evinced surprise at the selection, saying: “fas that man ever worked for you before?” “No,” replied the other; “in fact, 1 never saw either of them until today.” “Then why did you caoose the shorter man? The other had a much better face.” | “Pace!” exclaimed the proprietor of the place in disgust. “Let me tell you ‘that; when you pick out a gardener, You want to go by his overalls. If they're patched on the knees you want him. If the patch is on the seat of his trousers, you don'."—Success Magazine. He Was a Green One. Senator Beveridge was talking one afternoon in Washington to a group of newly-elected congressmen. “You boys,” he said, “must on no ac- count appear green. Keep cool, 0 slow, think before you speak; then you won't give yourselves away.” ‘The unripe congressmen laughed, and Senator Beveridge continued: “I should hate to hear that one of you had acted as a new sonthern ‘con- gressman once did. “He, as soon as he reached Wash- ington, went off to a photographer's to be photographed. “ ‘T want my likeness taken,’ he said. “ ‘Cabinet?’ the photographer asked. “The southerner reddened and looked pleased. “ ‘No, he auswered! ‘just a plain, everyday congressman.’ ” —Qakland Tribune. Or ae a Mexican employers and traders are complaining of the large number of ob- ligatory holidays and others demand- ed by the work people. Out of the “365 days in the year 131 are devoted to obligatory and traditional idleness,” they say. In the United Kingdom there are 62 Sundays and 5 bank holidays, a total of 57,, If what many of the workers now claim is conceded, there will be 12 more—a fortnieht in a year —making 69, or 62 fewer than are claimed by the Mexicans. But exces- sive holidays are injurious to worker and employer alike and a nuisance to the public. ‘The reputation men have of being “tough” is largely due to lies the nren tell on each other.

Boise, Idaho.—With a roar that could be heard for miles, 100 acres of pasture land on the ranches of Rich- ard Stegn and Captain Lewis, three miles from the mouth c* the Grande Rende river, sank 150 feet’ below its former level Friday might, Ranch. men for miles around were awakeneg and set out to find the cause and found a hole half a mile long and vary- ing from a few yards up to 500 feet All day the ground continued to sink slowly as if a subterranean cavern were swallowing the grass covered acres. There’ was no live stock on the tract at the time.. There was no loss of life. It is the theory among resi- dents of that section that there is an immense underground cave and that the unusual amount of moisture of last season is responsible for the dis- turbance. The country in that section is of peaallar geologicat formation. Great beds of lime have been discov. ered in the vicinity of the slp and the fallen ground lies between strata of soft limestone and hard rock. It is probable that caves have bees hollow. ed out in the soft limestone. Some citizens of every town de- serve to be known as hogs; and the reputation does them no good.

"I make the finest coffee in the world," said the sportsman, his chest swelling with innate modesty. "How do you make it?" she asked with that feminine appearance of deep interest which leads a man to ramble on about himself for hours while she is mentally planning just how high the belt for her new Empire gown ought to go and looking at him with dreamy eyes—that he does not see—being absorbed in memories of days with the red gods. "I steep it an hour." The impossibility catches her wandering interest and she gasps incredulously. "An hour," he repeated firmly. "Go on please," she murmurs weakly after the manner of women who know better. "I use one heaping teaspoonful of coffee to each cup of water, and one for luck." This sounds intelligent, and she begins to take real notice. "I pour boiling water over it and then I set the pot back on the back of the stove where it will not boll, but simply keep hot and steep one hour." "Steep? Coffee? Are you sure you are not thinking of tea?" "Would you steep tea one hour?" scornfully. "No, nor coffee, either; but I don't know but you might." "You don't believe my coffee is good." "To always willing to learn." don't believe my coffee is good." The always willing to learn," meekly. "Then try it. If you do you will never make it any other way. It is as clear as wine, strong and aromatic. It is the pure essence of coffee, and no other way of making it compares. The only trouble in camp is to carry along a pot big enough to hold all that a lot of thirsty fellows will drink." -New York Press. DR. HALE AS A MOVER. Stories innumerable have been told of Edward Everett Hale, but one came to me a short time ago through one of his former parishioners, which is characteristic of the man. During the first years of his ministry Dr. Hale was settled over a congregation at Worcester. His parishioners soon found to their dismay, that his interests and enthusiasm led him in all directions. In one of the dismal quarters of Worcester a young mother, deserted by her husband, was being evicted from her tenement. Struggling under the weight of a heavy bed, she was attempting to cross the street, when a strong hand was laid upon her arm and a voice said: "Madam give me that bed and tell me where it is for you." Walking by the side of her benefactor, the woman told her story, to a heart always open to the cry of the suffering. Back and forth went Dr. Hale from the old home to the new until everything was moved. It was the Saturday before Easter. As he rounded the last corner, the slats of a bed on one shoulder, some of the kitchen utensils under the other arm, he came face to face with one of his deacons. He saluted the man courteously and was about to pass on, when the deacon detained him, saying, "My friend, tomorrow is Easter You ought to be finishing your Easter sermon isstead of moving poor families." He replied: "My sermon is prepared for the sermon I wrote for Easter; that is safe in my study. I have changed my text, and shall preach to you tomorrow from the words, 'Insmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my children, ye have done it unto me.'"—Elizabeth Aspinwall. HOW CONFLAGRATIONS MAY START Dust is a wonderful producer of fires. There have been instances in post offices where the dust of the mull bags suspended in the rear of a close room exploded with terrific force. A rag dipped in naptha is frequently used in removing grease spots from garments. The rag, soaked with inflammable fluid, is thrown upon the floor. When the shop is closed up the air is confined, the naptha-soaked material will of itself generate fire. Bales of cotton placed in the hold of a ship are often the cause of disastrous fires. Frequently a spark from a cigar finds a resting place in a cotton bale where it smoulders for weeks. The dark halls in tenement houses are the indirect originators of fires. Greasy matting or small heaps of paper lie about. A match not extinguished or a cigarette stub is thrown down and a blaze results. MRS. CARNEGIE A COOK. There are few people outside the Carnegie household who have any idea or Mrs. Carnegie's solicitude for the material comforts of her husband. In this she can be compared to the late Mrs. Gladstone. Like all good Scots, Mr. Carnegie likes his portage, and has it served up in real Scotch fashion. The millionaire is an early riser—he is usually out in the grounds at Skloo Castle at 7.50 every morning—and, as Mrs. Carnegie will not allow anyone except herself to cook the morning dish, she must get up at least an earlier. Mr. Carnegie has declared that if it were not for the fact that Mrs. Carnegie had learned to cook the early morning meal he could not have lived in the United States.

"That I should have all he left after the payment of Lisa's Reward. By Maude Walker. Liza couldn't remember when she was taken to live with old Madame Blanchard. Sometimes in her dreams she beheld a sweet-faced woman, whose eyes were blue and tender. Lisa felt quite sure it was her mother, who had died when she was a baby. But what little she knew of that dear mother was learned from a little girl who lived in the same big, dirty tenement-house with her. This little girl. Pearl Anderson, was the child of a Swede tailor, who, with his wife, did piecework for a great wholesale clothing house. The Andersons lived across the hall from old Madame Blanchard, and Pearl often whispered the fact to Lisa that "her papa and mamma did not like the madame, saying she was not honest." As the Blanchards and the Andersons had lived for five years in this tenement, the families had good opportunity to know a great deal about each other's affairs. Little Pearl often told Lisa during their stolen minutes of play in the dark hall that she had heard her mamma tell one night long ago, when old Madame Blanchard had come in with a two-year-old baby girl, saying it was her dead son's orphan, and that she was going to raise it. Pearl would also confide to Lisa that her mamma said the baby was not a Blanchard, but a fair little thing with golden hair, very unlike the old bag who posed as her grandmother. And Pearl would then say: "An' you're the same little baby girl. Lisa. The bad ole woman is not your gran'ma at all. She's a wicked woman." "Peg of that gentleman that's Oliver Maude "Beg of that gentleman that's coming," the old hag whispered. Lisa believed every word that Pearl told her, for the Andersons, though woefully poor, were good, industrious and honest folk, doing what they could to educate and rear their little daughter Pearl in the right way. Besides this proof of the story, old Madame Blanchard's cruel treatment of Liza made the child feel that there was no blood link between them. How could an own grandmother treat her so? The next and the next nights the same. As soon as it was daunted Madame Blanchard and her suffering little child-slave to begin the days the old woman lay her room eating, drinking and ing, while Lisa did what work was to do. Once the old woman called Lisa to her knees and threatening voice had warned I keep secrecy. "If I find that you breathed a single word to any Lisa was a veritable little beast of burden, carrying coal in a bucket up two flights of stairs and the ashes it made, down in the same way. She washed the dishes and helped to prepare the meals for the old woman, besides waiting on her at all hours of the night if she should be called from her pallet bed in the corner to do so. But now, in her seventh year, her grandmother had begun a certain course with her which made the child recoil in horror. Each evening she was taken by the old woman to one of the busiest streets of the city and told to beg in pleading and tearful voice for money of pedestrians. At first Lisa, ashamed to play the beggar, held back, and the old woman, catching her arm, pinched it till the child cried out with pain. "Beg of that fine gentleman Child's Idea of Love. Love, faith and confidence should be developed and made permanent in every home. It is a sad day when a child loses faith and confidence in father or mother, and when he can point to the time when he was disappointed and deceived by those in ```markdown ``` that's coming—the tall one, with the shiner on his head," the old hag whispered hoarsely, pushing Liza forward. "Please, sir, give me a penny to buy some bread." said Lisa, in a pitiful little voice, full of coming tears, while her face was covered with a blush of shame. The "fine gentleman" paused, looked the child over and took a coin from his pocket, which he dropped into the cold little palm extended to receive it. The instant the gentleman had passed on with the crowd old Madame Blanchard came from the dark doorway where she had hidden herself and jerked the money from the child's hand. "A quarter," she said, gloatingly, slipping the coin into her pocket. "Ah, it takes me to spot the givers and you to get it, my pretty little daughter. Now, there comes a gay young couple. Quick!—the man! See them that's laughing and the girl with the white furs on? Quick!!" And again Madame Blanchard withdrew within the shadow of the doorway, pushing Lisa forward. "Please, str. give me a penny—" But the young couple did not hear the plaintive child's voice at their elbow nor see the pitiful face that looked up at them. Before Lisa's request for alms was finished they had passed on with the crowd, laughing and gay, knowing nothing but their own happiness. "You little imp," cried Madame Blanchard, jerking Lisa by the shoulder. "Why didn't you run along beside them and pluck at the lady's skirt? You lazy, worthless thing!" Oliver O'Gourd coming," the old hag whispered The next and the next nights were the same. As soon as it was dark out went Madame Blanchard and her poor, suffering little child-slave to beg. During the days the old woman lay about her room eating, drinking and sleeping, while Lisa did what work there was to do. Once the old woman had called Lisa to her knees and in a threatening voice had warned her to keep secrecy. "If I find that you have breathed a single word to anyone of how we live or where we go in the evenings I'll beat you till you drop helpless in your tracks and shut you in the cellar with the rats for company. Do you mind?" And so poor little Lisa had been afraid to say a word of her most unhappy life to Pearl or Pearl's kind-hearted parents, who sometimes invited Lisa in to have a bit of tea with them when old Madame Blanchard was away for an hour or so. One evening old Madame Blanchard was ill, and, as it was raining she decided to send Lisa out to beg alone, cautioning her to be careful in selecting her prey. "Choose only them as dressed well and seems happy," she said. "Now go, and beg till you've got a dollar. Don't you dare to come home with less. The more you get the is right and true, and no parent can afford to forfeit such Implicit faith. Parents should zealously guard their words and actions in this respect, and by so doing they will be able to exert a healthy moral influence which will be in after years a safeguard against impending disaster, says Woman's ```markdown ``` better you will sleep tonight and eat tomorrow. Do you mind?" Lisa went to the corner where she usually stood, for nearby was a dark and deep doorway, where old Madame Blanchard could secrete herself as Lisa begged. As the rain was coming down steadily and Lisa was thinly clad, with only an old cape about her head and shoulders, she shivered with the cold and dampness. Few people except the poor laboring class were on the street tonight and vainly did Lisa extend her trembling hand for alms. A few took pity on the woe-begone little creature and now and then a penny was dropped into her outstretched palm. But when a great clock near the corner struck nine, Lisa, cold and exhausted, counted her money and found she had just 10 cents. Ninety cents to get yet! Lisa shuddered, for she knew it would be impossible to beg that much on a night like this. Indeed, it was very seldom that she got more than 50 cents of an evening, and rarely so much as a dollar. What should she do? She was cold, hungry and sick. The people on the street were getting fewer and fewer, all going to their homes as fast as they could. Pretty soon she would be alone except for the big policeman—whom she was taught to hide from by running round the corner—and an occasional pedestrian. If she went home without the sum required by old Madame Blanchard she would be beaten unmercifully. Then there was the cold cellar, where the tenants kept their coal and old rags, a cellar over run with rats. In there she would have to go, too, if she failed to take home a dollar. Sobs shook Lisa's poor, shivering little frame as she crept into the doorway to get shelter from the downpour. She was too young to know what to do. Running away from old Madame Blanchard had never occurred to her. She obeyed the old hag, who passed as her grandmother to the letter. Once seated in the deepest and darkest corner of the doorway, Lisa closed her eyes from weariness. Frequent coughing fits overcame her, and she smothered the sound with her hands for fear the policeman, coming on his beat, might hear her and "run her in," as old Madame Blanchard had always told her he would do in the event of his catching her begging. After a little while she felt more comfortable, huddled there in the corner, which began to feel warm. Her fits of coughing ceased and she felt quite happy. As she was smiling to herself, having forgotten old Madame Blanchard, she was conscious of someone near her. Looking up she beheld a beautiful woman with a sweet face full of tenderest love bending over her. Then warm arms embraced her and she found her golden head pillowed on a warm breast. Looking into the beautiful woman's eyes her heart fluttered, for they were the gentle blue eyes she always saw whenever she dreamed of her mother. “Are you my mother?” Lisa whispered. "Yes, dear,' came the loving answer. "I've come to take you away from that wicked old woman to a beautiful home, where we shall forever be together, you and I. Now, my little one, rest on my breast and sleep, sleep, for we shall soon start on our journey. When you awake you will be at home, where all is happiness. Rest, my baby, rest." The mother voice was whispered soft and scottingly into Lisa's ears. With her own little arms, blue with the bruises from old Madame Blanchard's beatings, around the dear mother's neck, her cheek nestled against the dear mother's breast, Lisa fell asleep. When she awoke it was in Peradise. The slave-child of old Madame Blanchard was freed at last. She had come into her reward. A Riddle.

After he married the present charming Mrs. Brewer they went for a visit it to his old home. In Washington a justice of the Supreme court is all ways spoken of as "Mr. Justice" and that was the title Mrs Brewer had all ways heard. When they reached this city on their way home the "Mr. was dropped and the jurist was referred to as Justice Brewer. At Omaha some old friends called him "David J." and when they crossed the Kanas line some former neighbors referred to him as "Dave." "Let's go home," suggested Mrs. Brewer. "Why?" asked the justice. "Because, dear," Mrs. Brewer replied. "I am afraid if we go any farther they will be calling you Davie." Saved by a Song. A boy was amusing himself by watching the birds that were flying around him. At length a beautiful bobolink perched on a rough bough of an apple tree near by. The boy picked up a stone, and got ready to throw it at the bird. The bird's throat swelled, and forth came the song: "A-link, a-link, a-link, bobolink, bobolink, a-no-sweet, a-nosweet I know it, I know it, a-link, a-link, don't throw it, throw it, throw it." And the boy did not throw the stone, but dropped it on the ground. "Why didn't you stone him, my boy? You might have killed him and carried him home." The little fellow looked up and replied, "Couldn't 'cos he sang so-" Puck. without receiving some affront."
