nine years ago. These were found by
an Egyptian woman in 1887 among the
ruins of an ancient temple, between
Memphis and Thebes. They are OF clay
and contain the engraved correspond
ence in the Babylonian tongue (the lam
guage OF diplomacy at that age) be-
tween King Amenophis Nv. Of Egypt
and HIS vassal princes In Palestine. The
tablets belong 20 the age of the Book
of Joshua, and in part relate to the
events recorded therein. IL Is quite
probable that the original editions OF
the earliest books OF the Old Testament

to each other.

in blue, "but l think we are related in

"No, think not, " replied the one in

idea?'
"Why, had an impression that the
second wife of your first husband was
the first wife Of my present husband,
and that would make "a sort Of connect
ing link, you know"
Possibly you are right, but we could
hardly call that a relationship. We can
come closer than that through your sec
ond husband, who was a cousin, two or
three degrees removed, of my present
husband, but even that does not make
any relationship. think that you have
become confused on the subject of ali
mony, which constitutes the most di-
rect connection.
II never could get those complica-
tions through my head" said the one in

WELL, exclaimed the one in dark

your first husband is just enough to pay
the alimony that your present husband S
first wife gets from him. "
Eyes let him have it for that pur-
pose "
"Then his first wife," continued the
mathematician i'll dark brown, was my
first husbands second wife, and as he is
paying me the same amount Of alimony
the money is simply transferred to me.
That is where the connection comes in.

The peculiar value of ambergris in
the modern art of perfumery is set forth
by writer i'll the Boston Transcript.
From this it appears that the essence of
this remarkable substance is obtained by
mixing three ounces of it with gallon
Of pure alcohol, and not until after a
month is it ready for use, this, however,
being kept only for mixing, being far
too strong, and not until it has entered
in minute proportion into the bouquets
does it produce those agreeable and
characteristic perfumes so well known.
AS ambergris is the most costly of the
animal perfumes, the bouquets contain
ing it are Of the most expensive kinds
1t is used more in France than in this
country, civet being extensively used for
retainer in American made perfumes.
Most of the ambergris is shipped, there
fore, to France, where it finds ready
demand, among the heavy purchasers
being E. Coudray, Felix Prob (Lubin),
Chevelot Freres and Roger & Gallet,
these being probably the largest per-
tuners in the world. The pure and sep
arate tincture of ambergris is, like musk
and civet, too intense and powerful for
use alone, and, like all substances Of
these kinds, must undergo a slow de-
composition, until the remainder pos
sesses very little volatility.

DROP AND DIPPER PUZZLE
It looks Strange but it is
True.
A Case In Everyday Life Where
a Single Drop Weighs More
Than a Whole Dipperful.

IT looks like a puzzle, and it is a
puzzle until you try it yourself.
That solves it. Every man can solve
it. Every woman can solve it. On
one side of the scales is a single drop.
On the other side is a dipperful.
Yet the drop carries the most weight.
Why is it, and how is it2 Here is
the explanation.
The one drop is drop of Puritana.
The dipperful is dipperful of So
called blood purifier, nerve tonic, or
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1896-05-15

appetite, could not sleep, could not
walk alone. Puritana made him over
new from head to foot. 1t gave him
sleep, appetite, and strength.
After trying many doctors, hospi-
tails, and medicines in vain, Mrs. j. $.
DAILY, of Cambridge, Mass, had also
abandoned hope, when Puritana was
brought to her relief. 1t gave her
strength and health, pure, rich blood,
vigorous digestion, and raised her
from the sick bed to the full vigor
of happy womanhood.
Yes, one drop of Puritana will
bring more real relief, more real cure,
more real strength, more real nerve
force, more real power and vital
energy, more real " life-is.worth-
living" than a dipperful, bucketful,
a barrelful of so-called tones, blood
cures, nerve foods, pills, and doubtful
preparations from unknown sources,
that is the reason why Puritana is
the most economical medicine as
well as the most effective in the
world.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1896-05-15

other palate-tickling connection. The
one drop of Puritana is real medicine
it cures. The dipperful is anything,
everything, and nothing, when it
comes right down to a real cure.
Puritana is the prize formula of
Prof. Dixi Crosby, who was for thirty
two years at the head of Dartmouth
Medical College. 1t strikes at the
root of 90 per cent. of human suffer
ing, and brings new strength, new
health, new life through the power
producer of the system. Puritana
makes the heart right, lungs right,
liver right, blood right, kidneys right
nerves right, and health right, because
it makes the stomach right. To any
man, woman, or child who will take
it as directed, Puritana will practi.
cally give a new stomach. That is
why hundreds and thousands OF
people have proved that it cures from
head to foot.
