The library Of Asshnrbanipal. King
Assyria, found during Mr.. Layard's exca-
vatons at Nineveh, shows that Science
had made u" little progress il Asia TWEEN
fy-tive hundred years ago. This curious
library consisted Of fiat, square tablets Of
baked clay, having on each side u l1age Of
closely written cIneiforln cur>yc letters
which had been impressed on the clay
while it was yet moist. The great ni:,-
jority of these tablets are Row in the

Twenty vests all white and clean.

That is how we keep tile rule
When We fr"ggies 80 to school"
Master Bullfrog, grave and stern,
Called the classes in their turn;
Taught them how to nohly strive,
Likewise how to leap and dive;
From his seat upon the log,
Taught them how to say, ''Ker ci,cg" ~
Also how to dodge q blow
From the sticks that bad bows throw.
Twenty froggics grew up fast !;
EnIlfross they BECAME at last;
Not one dnnce among tho lot.
Not one lesson they forgot;
Polished in a higl, degree,
