say Chipez and Perrot. you will not find
a stone in the country, from Bagdab to
the sea, larger than a nut"
But they found ready to their hands in
the river most abundant materials for
making bricks, with which their temples
and towns were built. This clay they
mixed with chopped straw. In some cases
they merely dried the bricks in the sun
and such was the consistency of the clay
that it is aver now difficult to break
these bricks.
In other cases they were burnt. In the
case of the burnt bricks they intercalated
layers of reeds, and bound them together
by bitumen, instead Of mortar. This was
chiefly brought from Hit, on the Euph-
rates, where it still abounds.
The bricks were beautifully made in
molds. and in the normal pattern. We're

CUT YOUR BREAD THIN.

Many physicians, according to a lectu-
rer on dietics, are ordering thin bread and
butter for delicate patients, especially
those suffering from dyspepsia, consump-
ton and anaemia, or any who need to
take on flesh. This thin bread and butter
~insensibly induced persons to eat much
more butter than they have any idea OF.
It is extraordinary says the lecturer, how
short a way a fresh pat of butter will go
if spread on a number of thin slices OF
bread. This is one advantage and a great
one, in the feeding of inyalids, for they
are thereby provided with an excellent
form of the fat which is SO essential for
their inhibition, in a way that lures them
10 take it without rebellion. But the thln
bread and butter has another advantage
equally great-it is very. digestible and
easily assimilated. Fresh butter mace
from cream is very much more digestible
when spread upon hin slices of bread
than the same amount of cream eaten as
cream, per Sc, would be.-New York

MRS. KELLY'S STAR BOARDER.
Queer Developments from a Ftar.

rISOn ASSduIt case.
A short time ago Mrs. Mary Kelly,
who runs a boarding house at No. 705
Fourth street, Harrison. had James Ma
Honey, one of her boarders, arrested for
assaulting her. Maloney pleaded guilty
to simple assault, hoping to escape with
a light sentence. Policeman Callahan,
hi arrested Maloney, Informed the
Court that the assault was an %atrocious
one, and Judge Hudspeth sent for Mrs.
Kelly.
She appeared in court this morning,
and after some questioning said that
Maloney 'just pushed her about like
the other boarders did," He wanted her
to get his Inner ready.
Judge Hudspeth remarked that Mrs.
Kelly was the first boarding house mis-
tress he had ever heard of who was
not supreme in her own house.
Mrs. Kelly finally remembered that Ma
loney had struck her with a ~five-pound
pot. She was confined to her bed for
five days. officer Callahan also testi-
fed that eighteen months ago Maloney,
who was a 'star boarder." had bitten
Mrs. Kelly's husband. He died later from
blood poisoning. Mrs. Kelly screened Ma
lol.ey and no indictment was found
against him. Judge Hudspeth reserved
sentence.

A SHEER FOR His Love.
Sad Story Of the III Mated
Vogels- "A Search and
a Scene.

Mrs. Sophia Vogel, a former resident OF
Hoboken. appeared before Justice Seymour
on Saturday afternoon and asked for a
search warrant. She was accompanied by
Counsellor Warren Dixon, of Jersey City,
who added that Mrs. Vogel's apartments had
been entered and a quantity of clothing
stolen. Mrs. Vogel, the lawyer said, had
reasons for snspecting that the clothing had
been taken to No. 70 Willow avenue.
The Justice issued the warrant and gave
it to Constable Boland to execute, In this
way a family skeleton was brought to light.
Some years ago the vogels occupied a
comfortable home in the upper part OF Park
avenue. Vogel is foremanin the tannery at
Willow avenue and Ferry street. They were
to all appearances a devoted couple.
One night her husband returned from
work and found his house stripped. He went
boarding, and it was for his apartments at
No. IS Willow avenue that the search war
rant was issued.
After a long search for his wife Vogel
gave her up. Finally he saw her on the
street in Newark and followed her to her
home at No. AZ Beacon street. He called
there frequently seeking a reconciliation,
but Mrs. Vogel would have nothing to do
with him, and at last forbade him the house.
Shortly after she missed her clothing, she
alleges.
Constable Boland went to the tannery to
notify Vogel of his intention to search his
rooms but the management refused to per-
NIT him to see the man. At six o'clock,
when Vogel left the building and was ac-
costed by the constable, he denied his
identity.
Mrc Vocal stood ~, tho bo ckororud She
ran up and exclaimed excitediy, ''Don'tdeny
your name, you ~scoundrel!"
Boland had all he could do to avoid a
scene.
Vogels apartments were searched, but the
missing clothing was not found. Vogel i'm
plored his wife to return and live with him.
He said he had saved considerable money
and would give her all, but Mrs. Vogel
sneered contemptuously and hurried toward
the ferry.
