ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hanging Gardens

The changing gardens of Babylon"
were built by Nebuchadnezzar to crafty
his wife, Amyitis, a native of Media,
who longed for something in this fiat
country to remind her of her mountain
home. They consisted of an artificial
mountain, 400 feet on each side, rising
by successive terraces, to a length which
overtopped the walls of the city. The
terraces themselves were formed of a
succession of piers. the tops of which
were covered by fat stones sixteen feet
long and four feet wide. Upon these
were spread beds of mating; then a
thick layer of bitumen, covered with
sheets of lead. Upon this solid pave
ment earth was heaped, some of the piles
being hollow so as to afford depth for
the roots of the largest trees. Water
was drawn from the river so as to irri-
gate these gardens which thus presented
to the eye the appearance of mountain
clothed in verdure.-[New Orlean,

He almost tainted. Another citizen came

import them in dried condition from

Grow tn Of Finger Malta

A prominent uptown manicure who
has devoted many years to the study OF
the subject states a. the result OF his
observations that the finger nails Of the
human species grow mora rapidly In
children than in adults, and that ths
growth is slowest with the aged.
His observations, however, do not
stop at this, for he finds that both in
childhood and age they grow faster In
summer than in winter. In one instance
a nail that required 1872 days to renew in
winter renewed in summer in exactly
116 days. During both seasons the
patient upon whom this experiment was
made enjoyed normal health.
The method of testing this growth
was in each instance the same. The nail
was pared close and slightly notched at
the quick. Both the right and the left
hand were studied, with the result that
he affirms that the growth of finger nails
is more rapid on the right hand than on
the left. As the person was right handeo
it is presumed that the contrary is true
of cft-haaded individuals.
One popularity of the growth OF hngcr
nails in addition to those stated is that
the period OF renewal differs proportion
atey with the length Of the fingers.
Thus it is more rapid in the middle fin
gers than any other. In the fingers on
either side the middle finger the period
of renewal is about equal and slower. 1t
is even more slow in the little finger,
and slowest of all in the thumb.
Comparing the same fingers OF the
different hands, the person who discov-
cred these curious phases Of growth
states that on an average the nails on the
left hand fingers of right handed per
son require eighty-two days longer to
renew than those of the left hand. In
one particular the growth of the nails
and hair and beard are governed by tho
same law. that of growing more rapidly
in summer than in winter. -lNew York

The Toilet Of Birds.

The fcathered tribes have many pecu-
liar ways and fancies about the details
OF their toilets. Some birds use water
only. some water and dust, while others
prefer dust and no water. Birds are not
only exceedingly nice in their choice of
bath water, but also very particular
about the quality of their toilet dust. ="
Wild ducks, though feeding by salt
water. prefer to battle in fresh water
pools, and will fly long distances inland
to running brooks and ponds, where
they preen and dress their feathers in
the early hours of the morning. Spar
rows battle often, both in water and in
dust. They are not so particular about
the quality of the water as about
the quality of the dust. They prefer
clean water, but have seen them take a
dip in shallow pools that were quite
muddy. The city sparrow must take a
water bath where he can get tin the
streets or on the tops of houses but he
is most careful in his choice of his dust
bath. Road dust, the dryest and finest
possible, suits him best. have noticed
the city sparrow taking his dust bath in
the street, and invariably he chooses a
place where the dust is like powder.
cartridges prefer dry loan. They like
to scratch out the soil from under the
grass and fill their feathers with cool
earth. Most birds are fond of burnt
ashes. Some early morning take walk
across field that has been burnt over,
and see the number of winged creatures
that rise suddenly from the ash heaps.
A darting form, a small cloud of ashes,
and the bathers disappear.-[New York
