times get pretty well up toward the top of the
ladder by one jump, and they don't have to
jump very hard, either"
500 you happen to think Of any instances in
your own knowledge where man won endur-
ing fame by one act?'
well, yes. An instance occurs to me in
which one speech made not only a man, but q
city famous"
''Oh, yes. You are speaking of ]. Proctor
Knott and Duluth. Well, I'll admit that Proc
tor Knott is an exception. There are just two
characters in history that made themselves
famous by one speech"
Indeed? Who are they?"

The man in the skull cap smiled rather
sicky smile and went away presently to the

Among the collection OF Babylonish antiquities

and size Of ladys little finger. Upon their
surfaces are Beautifully cut Intaglios. To ex
hlbit the nature and perfection of these
Gent carvings on such very hard substances,
the custodans OF the museum had made inn
prints IN line plaster, which were placed by the
side OF the cylinders. Some of these impres-
sions. as sharp as the most perfect cutting on
gems OF the present day, represented female
hgurcs, dressed IN the walking costumes Of
that very distant period The style Of the dress
was very striking. The gown was Q tight

day on ladies fashionably alfred. The distance

The hat worn was high one; the
figures being small, not much over one inch in

be clearly made out. IL seemed not unlike
those which form 80 disturbing an element in
the theater seats of the present day. The whole
costume was Of so familiar nature that it
would not attract special attention IL seen upon
our streets OF today, aud yet these ladies lived
and dressed over four thousand years ago.
Fashions are known to revolve in circles aud
are continually returning TO those previously
discarded. These Bsbylonish siguets, with
their wonderful carvings. preserved TO from

adage beyond peradventure. From these very
curious and interesting historical prints the
inference may be drawn that most likely the
female members OF Noah's family, when they
sought refuge in the ark wore high hats aud
accordion-plaited gowns.
