high Living at No Expense.


There is a wealthy man OF this city,
who ever since he became velI-to-do
has been pestered by the entreaties of
local insurance agents TO take out poll
cy in favor of his wife and little ones
Not long ago ne determined to be re-
venged on them. He called on GER
tain agent and told him that at last he
was thinking seriously OF taking ont
policy, say for $4,000, but that before
deciding the matter he wished to eX-
anime the Inducements Of two
or three other companies. Ger
tainly," said the agent, "but do come
and dine with me at the city club tomor-
row." with pleasure. The rich
man walked away and visiting three or
four more agents, told them the sans
story-that he was thinking OF taking
out q policy OF $4,000 or so, but was
not quite decided yet in what company
he should insure. Each and all OF them
extended him an earnest invitation to
Come and dine with me tomorrow
evening"" or, What DO you say to a
little supper at Blanks, where we can
talk it over" or I'm going to open a
bottle of Madeira tomorrow evening.
Come around and I'll explain
our plan in full" The wealthy man
winked TO himself as he left
these agents, and accepted all
their ciyilities. and for two weeks his
family hardly saw him, for he continued
TO hesitate and procrastinate and the
agents continued TO dine him and wine
him until at length, having enjoyed him
self immensely at the expense OF the in
surance companies, he one day sat down
in his Office and wrote each OF the agents
a little note in which he stated that he
had "been convinced OF the better ad-
yantaces to be gained by insuring in
another company, and regretted that he
could not take out policy with you.
The agents each read this note with tears
in their eyes and swear words on their
lips, and placed sum ranging from $50
to $50 to the debit expense account.

WHAT ARE CUNEIFoBMs ?

This question can be answered IN
few sentences. The Assyrians did not
write, in the modern sense OF this wOrd.
They used neither pen, pencil, pspyrus,
nor skins. Their instrument for impress
sion. making was an iron stylus. Ii was
so shapej, that when pressed into the
soft clay it would leave q wedge-shaped
indentation. The Assyrians wrote upon
a clay which was soft and yielding at
first, but when baked, hardened into a
well-nieh imperisbaUle stone. Their
ambition for historic immortality caused
them 10 make their records III such ma
terials as this. although 1t is evident
enough that they little dreamed that
their tablets would become witnesses for
the truth Of GOO.
From this we see that in saying that
the AsSyuan language is cuneiiorm IS
meant that its characters are composed
of combination of marks like wedge.
These wedges are either horizontal. per-
pendicular, or obiique, and by variously
combining them any number OF signs
are obtained. The reader Will see at
glance that these signs very complex,
and as there are 239 of them, 1t Will
readily appear that it ID no easy task
for an Assyrian student to learn his al
phabet.
But it must be borne in mind that the
Assyrian language in reality had no al
phabet, bit that each character repre-
scented syllable, aud so instead OF an
alphabet 1t had a syllabsry. For eI-
ample, horizontal wedge had the value
of rW two horizontal wedges, tap, and
one perpendicular wedge, dish, etc.
But this is not all. Besides having a
phonetic value, each sign is ideograph-
ic-i. e, it may represent an idea as
well rs syllable. For example, GER
tain Assyrian sign means father, and IS
often used tor that purpose, and yet IN
other places it performs its modest func-
ton as q syllable. What is most puz-
zling Of sll is the fact that nearly ell OF
these signs have not only one value but
several. The student has TO weigh many
questions, and settle for himself the
value OF each sign ia the connection N

SILK CULTURE.

Kansas has devoted more attention to silk Gull
ture, and has made greater advancement in this
branch of industry than all the other states COM
bined. The soil and climate seems peculiarly
adapted to it, and in the quality of silk and amount
produced it has fully equalled the most famous
districts of Italy. The mulberry is one of the
most hardy and thrifty trees we have. 1t is
rapid grower and is one of the favorte trees for
farm cultivation. The rearing Of silk worms is
pursuit well adapted to ladies and people of deli
cate health, and has proved very remunerative. 1t
is an industry which might well engage the at
tention of the female portion of every family in
the Arkansas valley and at the cost of only very
little trouble would pr duce sufficient revenue to
cloth the entire family handsomely.
If any one of orr readers desire further informa-
ton this subject they get all the details of
how to commence and how to conduct the bust
ness with cost of stock to begin, with an aproXi-
mate profits, by applying to the superintendent of
silk culture station at Peabody, Kansas, an insti-
tuition which is under state control.
