Sky scrapers Are Ancient.

Lanciani, the famous Roman arch
eologist, has shown that in the Rome of
the Caesars trouble was experienced
with high buildings, says the Green
Bag. A law was passed restricting the
height of fronts to 60 feet. In order
to evade it, builders adopted the prac-
tice of carrying up the rear portion sew
eral stories more. Other laws bearing
on the heights of buildings were passed
in olden times. There was tendency
to diminish the height of stories as the
buildings increased in size, and height
of 1870 feet was probably attained. 1t is
believed that the ceilings were so low
that man could not stand upright in
the rooms.

THE VOLUNTEER.


He never learned to swing a sword
Or rightly bear gun,
And he was lame in every joint
When morning drill was done.
But butt of all the barrack jokes,
The point of every sneer,
The farmer-lad who left the plow
To be a volunteer.
But when upon crimson field
The soil was running red,
And smoking cannon barred the way,
They followed where he led.
For high above the battles din
His voice was loud and clear
AS on he rushed to victory,
The dauntless volunteer.
And in the camp where Death was'chiei
And famine founu its prey,
And moaning on the sodden ground
The fevered soldiers lay,
They passed him with the tattered flag
And heard a feeble cheer:
"TSe stars and stripes forever!" cried
The dying volunteer.
His grave may lie in hallowed ground,
Or deep in oceans flood,
Or where the wave of Battle Creek
Is tainted yet with blood:
But still, wherever 1t may be,
pray you drop tear
A patriot brave and true was he,
The noble volunteer!
-M:nna Irving, in Leslie's Weekly.

United States unlf Cents.

Half cents were coined from 1893 to
1877, both years inclusive; in 1899 and
1900, and from 1902 to 1911, these years
inclusive; then none were coined until
1925. In that year and in 1926, 1925,
1929, 1881, 1888, to 1896, the coinage of
half cents continued. From 1S49 to 1857,
with the exception of 1852, the coinage
was resumed; but since the last named
year no half cents have been struck.
The total value of the coinage was $780,
926.11; the whole number Of pieces
struck was 7,os5,222.

Girls Quit wearing claws.

The day has gone by when claws are
fashionable on girls hand. Fingers
terminating with long, sharp nails are
no longer common. Girls no longer re-
semble birds of prey, for their white
hands are now distinctly feminine; the
nails cut short, no longer than the
finger tips. 1t is the fashion to trim the
finger slightly rounded; that is, a trifle
down at the corners of the finger nail.
A nail will assume in growing the shape
in which it is habitually trimmed. DR..
Louis Starr recommends that children's
nails, on both hands and feet, should
be trimmed straight across, and not
in pointed or round form. This is
good advice to follow with the little
ones.

FOR SLEEPLESSNESS.
A Good Cry May Perhaps RightfuIIy
BE Considered an Easy Cure
for Insomnia.

Medical science is rampant just now.
We have been told not to do so many
things that if we obeyed all our coun-
selors we should be in perilous state.
The latest tinformation-from a Russian
Goctor-is that we must not try 10
blush, laugh or weep much, unless we
want to suffer from insomnia. His OBJ
servations have led him to conclude that
persons who do either of these three
things "easily" are more liable to sleep
lessness than others.
should like to be told how we are to
help blushing. Is not the timid debu-
tante always asking that question, and
asking it in vain? And is she afflicted
By want of sleep? AS regards laughter,
1 have observed that nervous people
often have a bad night if they have
been tenn ted to excessive hilarity just
before bedtime, but as to the effects of
weeping, l am not sure. 1t has been
said that the greatest sufferers from
insomnia are the people who rarely al
low themselves the relief of what we
call "a good cry" but rather let their
sorrows eat their hearts out in stoical
silence.
One does not lie awake brooding over
trouble which may be soothed by
tears. But now let me give you brand
new remedy for eeplessness-new, at
least, to this country, for it comes from
the Samoan islands. The natives, when
inclined to be wakeful, get up and hunt
around until they find snake. Having
caught their soother, they confine him
in a hollow bamboo, when he emits a
Kissing sound, which-so we are told
Is unfailing in the inducement of sleep.
Here we have, think, at last the an
swer to the famous puzzle propounded
by Josh Billings: "The reason why
snaiks wuz bilt has never yit bin dis
l,uvvered." The efficacy of the remedy,
If practiced on an American, would no
doubt depend upon the certainty that
the scaly soporific was really confined

A certain volunteer, who was great

barely speak of anything but his new
dignity. Meeting friend one day, he

"Wel., Jim, suppose you know

"Yes," said Jim, II heard So"
