This caseful of implements which
we have newly placed on exhibition is
designed to show the development of the
tool which we call the knife, beginning
from the earliest times" said Professor
Mason Mt the National museum. First,
you observe, is the fragment of flint,
which the savage split by banging it on
top with a stone hammer into a number
of flakes. The smaller ones were used
for arrow points and the bigger ones for
knives, their edges being split off so
sharp that you might almost shave with
some of them. Next you see the flint
inserted into a handle of split wood or
bone, and as farther improvements, the
~fastenings of this primitive knife in the
handle by the rosin of trees and by cord
of one sort or another bound around to
secure it.
1.-The most beautiful knife in the col.
lection is this exquisitely nodded blade
of greenish jade, belonging to the stone
age, branded with n waltus tusk. You
can hardly find a more admirably form,
ed weapon among the products of mod.
ern cutlery wares. Most curious of the
modern tools here is this sailors knife,
square at the end instead of pointed, to
prevent stabbing in n row, or the dan.
gerous falling Of the weapon from aloft.
Its blade drops out at the end of the
handle when a spring is touched, SC
that Jack can hold a rope with one hand
and open the knife for service without
the need Of ten fingers, Washington

The Talmud is the title applied to the
Mishnah and Gemara, two collections
of Jewish tradition and decisions rela-
tive to the law as given by Moses. The
Mishnah is the earliest collection of ira
dictionary matter in regard to the law,
and the Gemara is an elucidation of the
Mishnah text, consisting of a running
commentary, explanations and opinions
given by renowned rahbinical scholars.
The comments are frequently in the
form of an argument, reasons pro and
con being advanced and instances cited
in support Of the proposition assumed
by the imaginary contestants. There
are two Talmuds, or commentaries; that
of Jerusalem and that of Babylon, the
latter being regarded as more complete
and satisfactory. The compilation of
the Talmud was begun, it is said, about
the time of the return from the Baby
lonish captivity, B. c. 536, and was
completed in the second or third een-
tury after Christ 1t is, therefore, a
body of Jewish thought and doctrine,
covering p riod OF 600 or 7OOSears.---

A VALUABLE NECKrIE.
1t Contained Twenty Thousand Dollars in
Cash.

His necl<tie was worth 1000. A
plain, black, ordinary-looking, every
day, four-in-hand but worth $40, 900.
He was traveller who had just come in
on the Sante Fe route direct from
Arizona, and he removed his coat and
vest preparatory to cleaning his cinder-
speckled face in the lavatory of prom
inent Michigan avenue hotel. With the
carelessness of a western man he flung
his coat and vest on contiguous chair,
but his necktie, his four-in-hand he
carefully rolled up in a small compass
and thrust deep into his trousers pocket.
This unusual exhibition of caution
excited the curiosity of a friend, and
the natural query, "Wherefore?" de-
veloped a most ingenious device.
THAT necl1tie is worth just $50, 900
plus the cost price of the article itself.
Sabe?"
The smile of incredulity brought the
valuable piece of black silk to view
again. With his penknife the traveller
open the seam, and unfolding the ripped
portions, dazzled the eyes of the skeptic
with ten crisp, clean 81, 200 bills. Ten
thousand dollars on this end and the
same ante on the other Beats a money

what thief, or son of thief, would ever
look twice at fifty-cent necktie? They
might corral it if it was red or yellow or
even slly-blue, but plain black is too un-
obtrusive, for those chaps run to high
color. This plan is better than the por-
GUS plaster scheme, too Never heard

"Well, next time you travel with more

ter. Then slap this double-decl plaster
on your chest and no ones the wiser.
But the four-in-hand racket's the best"
and the man with the $4,000 necktie
gave it final twist as he tied it around
his collar, slipped on his vest and coat
and walked out, serene and secure with
twenty $1,000 bills snugly hid away in
his queer safety-deposit vault.-Chicago

massacre which took place in the city
of New Orleans Saturday were three

protection and security for their per-
sons and property-ma them amen
able on the same basis as
our own citizens, to the
laws of the United States and of

risdiction. 1t is the hope of the presi-
dent that you will cooperate with him

Insignificant and UnInown.

Not long ago a newspaper man in this
city wrote the editor Of one of the best
known English journals proposing to
send him descriptions of the summer
homes of certain people, mentioning by
name the Astors, the Vanderbilts, the
Goulds, and others equally well known
to us. In return the editor wrote say
ing that the article would not be of
sufficient interest to the English reading
public as the names of the persons were
not known either to himself or to his
public. Any time, therefore, that these
personages get tired of living in the
fierce light Of publicity that beats upon
them here they will be glad to know
that they can plunge into obscurity at

A Home-Made Cabinet.

A knack at doing things" has such
a money value that very satisfactory
results in household furnishings are
often reached with a small outlay.
With the aid of a carpenter, very pretty
cabinets may be made of soft pine wood
stained and vanished. The dimensions
may vary to suit the space. 1t must first
be sand-papered, then stained either ma
hogany or oak shade, sand-papered
again. stained second time, then var
nished or finished with what the painters
term an oil finish. Across the front of
the cabinet is fastened a brass rod upon
which to hang a curtain. This curtain
may be of China silk, art muslin or
plush, in color to harmonize with the
rest of the room. Heavy Indian red
paper may be pasted at the back of the
shelves which are placed to accommo-
date books or bric-a-brac as desired.
A large yellow vase or high pitcher
filed with peacock feathers on top of
this cabinet is artistic, and there will be
abundant room for photographs in fold
