4 LONDON AG1rATroN.

The great city of London is now stirred by a question which has in time past stirred the great city of New Ha- ven and may yet stir 1t again. There are many in London who are in favor of having the county council take pos session of the water supply of the city, and some facts are brought forward
 which show plainly that sonic change should be made An investigation was recently made in the parish of East Finsbury, one of the sections into which London is divided, for the purpose Of finding out what deficiencies there were in the water service of the parish dur ing the past winter The total num- Der of houses visited was 3,504, and Of the occupants of these 3,119 answered the questions put them in way that made it possible to tabulate the state ments. In the other instances the cc- cupants had either forgotten the de- tails or there had been change in occupancy of the houses, or there was a disinclination to make statements that might reflect on the water company. From the replies received it was found that 1850 houses were entirely without water last winter for a space of time running frem one week to thrae months. One hundred and seventy-one houses had no water for one week, 1S5 none for two weeks. IF none for three

Have you ever been 'too tired to
sleep ?"
Nerves like telegraph wires, continue
to vibrate long after the message has
gone over them, with this difference, that
the nerves need to be built up after each
message.
When the network of nerves is kept
aliye and tingling with work or excite
ment all day long without opportunity
or proper means for repair, sleep be-
comes more and more difficult, and de-
debility, nervous weakness and often
times loss of flesh follow.
In nine cases out of ten that dread
disease, insomnia, is directly traceable
to nervous system that fails to get the
uourishment that is demanded to re.
place its WORKOUT parts. The brain and
nerves cannot appropriate as food all that
comes to them.
A profound knowledge of the cOndi-
ton of the nervous tissues when weak
ened by overwOrk and insufficient food
enabled Prof. Edward Z. Phelps. NJ ID +,

Of Paine's celery compound that actively

THE OLDEST FICTION.


A Neat Little Story That Was Written
Some 5000 Years Ago.
One of the most ancient examples OF
fiction in the world, one which has sur
vived the rise and fall of many an ancient
and many u modern empire, is all Egyp-
tan romance entitled The Tale of the
Two Brothers," We have the original
manuscript in the British museum. 1t
is written on 10 sheets Of papyrus, in II
fine hieratic hand, and it was penned
some 1920 years ago by Theban scribe
named Ennana This Ennana was libra
rian of the palace to King Merenptah, the
supposed pharaoh of the exodus, and he
appears to have written the tale by order
OF the treasurer for the entertainment Of
the crown prince Seti- Merenptah, who
subsequently roigned as Seti ii. This
prince has signed his name in two places
on the back of the manuscript, these being
probably the only autograph signatures OF
any Egyptian king which have come down
to our time.
This most venerable and precious docu-
ment was purchased in Italy by Nine.
d'Orbiney, who sold it in 1857 to the au'
thorities of the British museum, and it is
now known as the D'OIbiney papy rus.
The story hegins exactly like an old fash
toned fairy tale:

A STUDY IN HANDKERCHIEFS.

Their Use Began In Venice Only Little
More Than Three Hundred Years Ago.
An interesting historical study ON the
pocket handkerchief has appeared in a Ger
man magazine. 1t appears that mankind
is indebted to Italy for the introduction of
that modest but indispensable accessory
to civilization. According to the writer,
the use of the pocket handkerchief was
unknown in society until the first half of
the sixteenth century.
About the year 1910 an unknown Veno
tian lady first conceived the happy idea of
carrying ''fazzoletto," and it was not
long before her example was widely fol-
lowed throughout Italy. The handkerchief
then crossed the Alps into France, where
its use was Immediately adopted by the
lords and ladies of Henry IFS court.
The handkerchief of that period was an
article of the greatest luxury. 1t was
made of the most costly fabrics and was
ornamented with the rarest embroideries.
In the reign of Henry III it began to be
perfumed and received the name of "mOu.
choir de Venus" 1t was not until 1000
that the handkerchief made its way into
Germany, and then it's use was long con
fined to princes and persons of great
wealth. 1t was made the object of stump
tuary laws, and an edict published at
Dresden in 1895 forbade its use by the
people at large
Slowly, but sFely, however, the vulgar
ization of the pocket handkerchief has
been accomplished, and today even the
humblest is superior in one important re
spect to Petrarch and Laura, Dante and
Beatrice, who, it is somewhat painful to
think, lived in prehandkerchief age
