Few inventions have had a wider

in great libraries, no historian Of
human progress, SO far as we know,
gives any reliable information on the
subject. The monuments Of Egypt
furnish proof Of the early use Of
hooped vessels, though no date is
given Of their invention. In one of
the inscriptions copied by Wilkinson
may b. seen two slaves emptying
grain from wooden vessel made
with hoops, while a scribe keeps
tally, and sweeper stands by with a
broom to sweep up the scattered kerr
nels. The mea ure is tarrel- shaped,

age OF this inscription is not indi-
Gated. Measures of the sort would

very early in Egypt, though not fer
the storing Of liquids, for which pur-
pose skins and earthen vessels were
employed.

Casimir- Perier will unite the whole
French nation in way never accom-
plished before. He is not only re-
garded as a safe man by the reaction
aries, but he is openly friendly to the
traditions which speak of France as
the oldest son of the church. Under
his skillful hands he will be able to
make a good deal more of the court
at Elysee than his predecessors have
done. at least since the days OF Mac
Mahon. He has happy faculty of
being able to use people when
they least suspect it. In this
way he will bring together noble
men and prelates, who have rather
kept aloof from matters of
state, with other elements, that of
soldier and bourgeois, all with one
purpose-to fuse them into d unit.

The smallest complete building in

er it is really building in the &C

it is duly registered in the Depart
ment OF Buildings which not only is
sued 1t q certificate of inspection, but
approved its construction, it must be
be known as a building. By contrast
with the mammoth Manhattan it is
little more than dry-goods box, but
nevertheless 10 serves the purpose for
which it was constructed. The di-
mansions of this .liliputian structure
are: Front feet; depth, 10 feet;

tween it and the Manhattan does not
lie alone in the difference in size, but
rather in the conception, ia finish

are used.

wbv Incense Was Used.

The sense of smell, which at the
dawn Of civilization was declining
one, and since then has tended to be.
come less and less OF value, would
appear to have little chance Of gain
ing an important position In any
branch of human culture. And yet
1t came about that one characteristic
OF the exciting cause of odors
brought them into prominence In the
service Of religion, and this promi-
nence has continued in that connec-
tion up to the present day. Far back
In the history OF our race, at any rate
long before the dawn of history, the
apparently immaterial and, so to
speak, ghostly nature of the exciting
Z ause OF the Sensation Of smell, led,
it would seem, step by step, to the
use of incense in the service Of the
gods.
When it began to be felt that the
ancestral or other spirit that had TO
re appeased was hardly OF nature
to consume the material food or
drink offered to 1t to appease
its wrath or TO gain its favor.
an easy step OF reasoning sug-
gested that this food or liquid would
be more acceptable in the form OF
smoke or vapor. The gods had be-
come Of too spiritual nature actual
ly to eat the food, but they would
still require some form OF nourish-
ment, and what could be more suit
able to them than the fumes of
burned flesh? This is the concep-
tion that is prominent, or, at all
events, survives, In the descrlpt .ons
of sacrifices In the "Illiad," where
the thick clouds from the burning
thighs OF the slaughtered oxen, and
from the fat In which they were
wrapped, ascend TO Olympus and
cheer the assembled gods. 1t was

by shaving them bear the announce

Merely a Speculation.

At first thought, Egypt would be
the last place To look for the inven-
tiOn OF hoped vessels, its arid climate
making 1t especially unsuited for
their employment. Possibly, how
ever. that may have been the COM
polling cause of their invention. All
through the East the bamboo is large
ly used for making hollow vessels, a
section OF the stem through node
securing solid bottom. and one be-
tween the nodes an open mouth for
natural tub or bucket In all we'll
wooded regions, nothing would be
more natural than the employment
Of hollow tree trunks for. the same
purpose, or sections of tree stumps,
followed out by fire or otherwise.
In drying, such vessels would split
and spoil, and 1t would require no
great natural genius 10 repair them
by means Of withes or wooden bands,
the primitive form of the hoop. II
the users OF such natural barrels
should migrate to region where
timber was scarce, economy Of lumber
would be likely TO suggest the build
ing Of barrels from pieces artiflcially
split. in short. the use OF slaves, by
means of which the primitive cooper
would be able to make several barrels
out of block that would suffice but
for a single dugout. But this is
a speculation merely. 1t is enough
to know for certain that the coopeT's
art, like the potter's, is one of ex-
treme antiquity.
