There is an exhibition at the
British museum of antiquities re
covered from the Ur site. Ur of the
Chaldees la mentioned In the Bible
as the original home of Abraham.
In the collection are pigmy wom
en in flounces, frills or accordion
plaits, and wearing all sorts of good-
Inck charms, consisting of the heads
of lions, bulls and frogs.
Four or live thousand years ago
children learning grimmer and arith
metic. Teaching tablets were un
earthed, upon one of which was In
scribed "The Property of the Boys’
School."
Another exhibit Is a piece In
tended to be inlaid In a casket,
Upon It la a beardless figure with
long hair, resembling a modern type
of intellectual.
Tablets were found on which (in
the form of 12 columns) the ac-
counts of a factory run by a temple
were recorded. The temple received
wool from farmers for tithe or rent,
and distributed it to women slaves
for weaving.
A strict account was kept of the
weight of wool issued, of the
amount and quality of the cloth re
turned, of the measurements speci
fied, and of the names of the per
son^ to whom payment was made,
all of which was Indorsed by re
ceiving officers and witnesses.
Payments were made In food,
which varied according to the pro
duction of the worker. An old wom
an got no more than a child. Death
and sickness were noted, so that
pay In the one case might cease,
and In the other be suspended.

One of the worst evils wrought
by the sin of discouragement Is
that we are tempted to stop when
we are Just on the eve of realized
success, and almoet in sight of the
richest blessings. Up near the sum
mit of Mount Washington, I once
saw a cairn pf stones to mark the
spot where a poor girl perished
from exposure and heart failure on
a cold night. Her father and she
i had rashly attempted to ascend the
mountain without a guide (It was
many years ago), and they had be
come lost, and had sat down be
wildered when the chilling dark
ness of the autumnal night came
on. The next morning the distract
ed father discovered that a very
short distance more would have
brought him In eight of the lights
from the windows of the "Tip-top”
cabin! Here Is a bit of a parable
to illustrate how those who are
doing not rash things, but wise
things, may be tempted to lose
heart, and to relax their efforts
when they were almost in sight of
success.—Theodore L. Ouyler, D. D.
Tobacco Once Banned
It was recently announced that
the government of Tibet had placed
a ban on the Introduction of tobacco
Into that country. But regulation
and prohibition of the use of the
narcotic weed by the law of the
land is by no means new, says the
i Dearborn Independent.
The following Is taken from the
court book of Methold, Norfolk.
England, dated October 14, 1605.
“We agree that any person that Is
taken smoaklng tobacco In the street
shall forfltt one shilling every time
■ so taken and it shall' be lawful for
the petty constables to distrains for
■ the seme te be pntt to the uses of
■ the towns.”
A few pages farther there Is the
record of the first arrest under the
tobacco prohibition law. “We pre
sent Nicholas Barber for smoaklng
In the street and do amerce him one
shilling.*
TA* Dayi of Youth
“We are young only once,' you
often bear some person remark as
an excuse for "hitting the pace."
True, we ean be young but once,
and the pleasure of young must be
crowded Into that space of time.
■
Bnt how long are we young? Some
men are old at forty, while others
are still yonng at sixty. It depends
npon the pace they hit and the man
ner In which they hit it.
■ We can crowd a lot of work and
pleasure into youth If we keep our
hearts and our minds and our bodies
clean. We can reduce the amount
of both and shorten our youth by
resorting to reckless dissipation.—
Newcastle Courier.

Metal polish keeps the brasses
clean if they are well rubbed. If the
house is to be closed for a time after
the cleaning, smear the brasses
lightly with a little lard and It will
keep them from tarnishing. Copper
pieces that are a bit black and dirty
may be cleaned first with a paste
made of three tablespoonfuls of
r flour, one teaspoonful of salt and
■ enough vinegar to make a paste;
■ rub the pieces well, then rinse In
hot water; then, If they need it, use
polish to finish. This is a

Iron work was wrought by band
with no better tools than a forge,
a hammer, an anvil and a cold
chisel.
The worker in Iron was a true
artist. He probably spent days In
working several bars Into a small
candelabra. When it came to milk
ing up a large ornamental gate—
why, that was labor for months.
Now,
however,
conditions are
greatly changed. We moderns are
worshipers of a fetish—production.
Machines grind out our ornaments
as well as almost everything else
that touches our lives.
There have been reversals, how
ever, and we at least admire the
handsome wrought work of the
past. In fact, there are still among
us men who can duplicate It. but
they are few and their time Is ex
tremely valuable.
Most of us do
not care to spend a thousand dol
lars for a hand-wrought can
delabra or bridge lamp, and yet we
desire these In period design.
Fortunately, we are not required
to forego possession of such ob
jects.
An oxy-acetylene welding
and cutting outfit in the hands, not
of a natural-born artist, or of a
highly trained craftsman, but rath
er of a practical operator, will
greatly cut the time and cost of
producing the most Intricate of or
namental Iron products.
All the
welder needs Is a photograph or
sketch to work from.
That Earth Is Round
Has Long Been Known
Discovery at Oxford of a musty
, tome written a. couple of centuries
before Columbus’ time, In which
It Is definitely stated the "urthe Is
round,” will not surprise any per
son conversant with the subject.
The assumption that the science
of the Dark ages was sterile and en
tirely Incorrect has always been
> gratuitous.
Knowledge, It Is true, was not
widespread among the masses.
Scientists were inclined to keep
»heir discoveries more or less secret
for several reasons.
But It Is
certain that an exchange went
on among the elect, and It is pre
sumable that Columbus had access
to documents. Information and
maps which have since been lost.
Unscientific and uneducated per
sons, such as kings and queens
and emperors nuturally would not
have understood scientific proof
any more than, say, the average
politician todny understands the
proof of the Einstein “theory." The
theory that the earth la round must
have had quite a wide circulation
long before Columbus set out to
put It to practical use.—New York
Evening Post.
Mistakes of Reporters
A bad mistake la made by a small
English provincial newspaper when
It halls the arrival In town of the
son of Robert Louis Stevenson, poet
and novelist.
Stevenson had no
son, at least that anyone heard of.
But a worse mistake was made by
another paper, also British and pro
vincial. which Is talked of still
among Journalists on Fleet street.
The editor’s sole woman reporter
being ill. he sent out a man to
describe the dresses and goings on
at a wedding nearby. One of the
guests, a woman, spoofed him, and
now you cannot buy the Issue of
the paper his report appeared In
at a premium. He had the women’s
hats trimmed with pornmes de ter
ras; their dresses with creme de
meatbe.—Baltimore Sun.
Uninviting "Lunch”
A Columbus business woman, who
also Is a housekeeper, occasionally
takes to her office a lunch prepared
at home. One morning recently, fol
lowing a chicken dinner the evening
before she took from the refrigera
tor what was left of the repast,
with which she prepared an ap
petizing lunch. Bones, peelings and
other debris were placed In a neat
package, to be taken to the garbage
box, and the lunch also was care
fully wrapped. When she opened
her lunch package at noon, how
ever, she found she had brought
with her the package Intended for
the garbage can, and had tossed her
lunch Into the receptacle.—Indian
apolis News.

MacPhurson emerged from the Inn
door, cranked up his car and,
slightly overshooting the mark,
planted himself solemnly in the
back seat.
The watchful village
policeman approached him and said
in kindly tones: “Noo, Tammas.
ye’ll need to oome oot of that,
ye're nae fit to drive.” "Mind yer

and then In magisterial tones
Tammas proceeded: “It would suit
