Ancient Writing Material.

When the Prophet Ezekiel was com
manded to write about the city of Jeru-
salem, he was compelled to write his ac-
count on smooth tiles, and we find fra1-
mcnts of such tiles to this day. The
heaps Of broken pots and crockcry of all
sorts, which are now 50 abundant in all
Eastern towns, prove that bits of smooth
stone or tiles were constantly used for
this purpose. The Island of ElPphantiHe,
Oh the Nile, is said TO have furnished
more than hundred such specimens.
One of these is soldiers leave Of alb

One of the miserable districts Of Lon
Blocks Of 'Improvcd Dwellings, and
sundry measures taken by the parish an=
thoritics have recently reformed it to

the season. are looked at by the patient
eyed poor with the same wonderment
that butterflies in its alleys would create.
In the midst Of this sordid district
1t is as large as an average fortress Of an

a space of two acres Within the intri-
caclcs Of the Fairgrounds and covered
courts and ground floor passages the visit

height Of many stories. And here, every
day ?, 300 poor children are being cndow-

town in itself, filled with Lilliputians,
who can exhibit at times remarkable free

Theodore Thomas.

Theodore Thomas, whose name sounds
50 Anglo Saxonish, is a native of Hanov-
CT. the son Of noted musician, and be-
longs to q numerous musical family. He
was a child prodigy, and astonishcd
everybody by his violin playing when he
was only years old. At s he gave
public concert at the capital and was
highly praised by the most careful critics
Not long after he was brought to this
country. His whole life has been dcvot-
cd tD the cause Of music. and his devo-
tion has borne good and abundant fruit
He has unquestionably done more for
musical culture and advancement in the
United States than any 20 men who
might be named. The orchestra which
he carefully selected aad has drilled for
years is notoonly the best, by all odds in
the country, but Is not surpassed by any
in Europe, Competent critics who at
tended the Bavrcuth festivals during
Wagncr's- life, where everything was as
nearly complete a possible, declare that
the famous orchestra was not whit bet
ter than, and some think it was not 50

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off Of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers as well MS %reliev-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Grccn's
august FHoucr and Boschce's German
Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these rene
dies, thereby giving one-ffth more medi-
cine in the 10 cent size. The Augusi
Flouer for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plant, and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung Troubles, have perhaps the
largest sale Of any medicines in the world.
The advantage Of increased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles for
10 cents remain the same size.
