THEN AND Now-ARTIcLES DISCOVERED IN
PoMpEu,-One of the most interesting tea
lures Of the excavations in this buried city
is the discovery of many homely domestic
articles of which we have counterpartS. 1t
is astonishing how many things Ill common
Use now were in use then. Here you will
see almost every kitchen utensll, portable
cooking.stoves. jelly.cake and butter-moulds
in the imitation of birds and flowers, pots, ket-
ties. crooks, dishes. cups and saucers, spoons,
knives and forks, dippers, skimmerS, sauce
pans, fryipgpans, lamps, lamp-stands, lesn'
hooks. braziers for charcoal. In WORD,
pretty much every kitchen, dining-room, or
chamber article found in modern use entered
into the economy of the daily life Of Roman
antiquity. All the articles OF lady's toilet,
including jewelry Of all kinds, gold and Sill
yer ornaments, corals and precious stones,
were found in houses in Pompcii. Taken
from tie retail shops were steelyardS, pal
anccs, weights, and measures. From doc
tors office was recovered full set OF sur
pical instruments, including "pulikins' for
extracting teeth, and trepans for drilling
holes in the skull. There is any number OF
shoemaker, tailor, carpenter, and blacksmith
tools. aud indeed implements OF almost
every present mechanical operation. Taken
altogether, the collection of articles taken
| from the dead city is surprising reveal
ton to every one, showing that the ancients
| invented and perfected 10000 implements
and articles Of common life which we still
use with little improvement thereon, and
without giving them credit therefor.
