Books Made of CLAW.

Far away beyond the plains of MeSo-
potamia, on the banks of the river Tigris,
lies the ruins of the ancient city of Nine
veh. Not long since huge mounds of
earth and stone marked the place where
the palaces and walls of the proud capital
of the great Assyrian empire stood. I'he
spade and scraper, first of the French
and then of the English, have cleared all
the earth away and laid bare all that re-
mains of the old streets and palaces where
the proud princes of Assyria walked and
lived. The gods they worshipcd and
the books they read have all been revealed
to the sight of wondering world
The most curious of all the curious
things preserved in this wonderful man
ner are the clay books of Nineveh. The
chief library of the city was contained in
the palace of Kanyunjik The clay books
which composed its contents were sets of
undiscovered with very small letters.
The tablets are all oblong in shape. and
when several of them are used for one
book the first line of the tablet following
was written at the end of the one pre-
ceding it. The writing was done when
the clay of the tablet was soft; it was
then baked TO hardenit. Each tablet was
numbered just as librarians of today
number the books of which they have
charge.-St. Louis Republic.

My rule has been to follow faithfully

consciousness of being adapted. In this
view | selected the newspaper. and to it
| devote my time and talents. follow
out the one line of business pursuit
rather than engage in many. A few
days ago certain gentlemen came to me
to ask me to engage with them in the
line of banking. Il am not banker, "
said |. Il am a newspaper man"
But" they persisted, I'VE do not ask
for your time, but only your name, and
the use of your name to us will be worth
800, 700 year to you" l did not, how
ever, accede to their request. | had no
inclination to eRSage with them in the
pursuit of banking, because it was out
side of my line, and having more than
enough money to meet my modest neces-
sites, and without child in the world,
did not feel like taking 800, 900 each
year for doing nothing to earn it.
The great trouble with mankind is to
stick to that pursuit of which they have
knowledge. Some men get strangely
mixed up. happen to know banker

ton, but with no aptitude for banking

The editor became amused at the old
darby, and determined to see in what
position his boosted proprietorship would
land him, so he questioned him in re,
gard to the various positions right down
the list, and still his function remained
undiscovered.
Well" he was finally asked, "what
was your position?"
He hesitated a moment and then an
