WHY CALLED TuMBLERs.
Curious Origin os the Name of an ArticIs
 In Daily Use.

Every day we drink out of q tumbIer. Why is the large glass that holds our milk and water so called9 Years ago Professor Max Muller was giving luncheon at All Souls college, Oxford, to the Princess Alice, the wife of the Grand Duke of Hesse-D -Darmstadt and the second daughter of Queen Victoria. There were not Il dozen guests besides the princess and her hu8- band, and very agreeable luncheon we had, with talk OF all kinds of interesting subjects.
 But what exci1od the curiosity of all strangers present WAS set of little roun& bowls of silver, about the size of a larga orange. They we9e brought round filled to the brim with sne famous ale hrewe2 In the college. These we are told, were tumblers, and we were speedily shown how they came by thsir names-a fitting lesson for the guests of philologist When one of these little leSwLs was empty, it wsa placed upon ahs table mouth downward. Instantly, s0 perfect was the balance, ss flew back to sts proper position as if ask. ing to be filled again. No matter how Ii was treated-trundled along the floors, bal, anced carefully on its side, dropped sud- denly upon the soft, thick earpet-up ia rolled again and settled itself with a few gentle shakiRgs and swayings into it's place, like one of those india rubber tum. bling dolls babies delight in.
 This, then, was the origin of our word tumbler, at first made of silver, as are all these All Souls tumblers. Then when glass became common, the round glassee that stood on 6 fiat base superseded the ex~ quisitely balanced silver spheres and stolo their names so successfully that you haye to go to All Souls to see the real thing.-~ Philadelphia Times,

Ar He7a Money.

When Di Schliemann was digging at the supposed sito of Trey, he uncovered the remains of several ancient cities which had been built one after another on the same hill. In the second layer from the bottom he discovered masses of silver in the form of axe heads. Dr. Gotze now suggests that these were intended not for implements, but for money. Bronze axe heads have also been discovered in ancient remains, mingled with metal pieces in the form of rings, in such manner as to sug- gest that all alike were inteued to serve as money. After the axe head had disappeared as actual money the memory of it was pre- served in the coins of Tenedos, which bore the figure of an axe head. Dr. Gotze also suggests that the wedge of gold" which Achan stole from the spoils of Jericho and for the stealing Of which Joshua had him stoned to death was a specimen of the an- cient axe head money.
