She Cou,dn't Even "Crow."

A tired, sleepy, but happy group OF
.ity waits left the cars at n country
station, and were met by somewhat
ipprehensive knot of women, who
we're to assume the care Of the little
visitors for a few weeks.
Bringing up the rear of the group OF
children was a boy Of nine years. cloth
ID with an air of self-confidence. but
With little else. In his arms he held
baby sister of such winsomeness that
here was a simultaneous movement
among the women. each of whom wish
ID to engage the baby.
The boy refused to be separated from
1is charge. and critically scanned the
ace of each bidder for the prize. He
inally decided in favor of plain little
woman, whose body was hardly b.;
,nough to hold the generous heart
which had been enlarged by the care
If a numerous family of her own.
One of the women who had wished to
AXE the baby was a snowy spinster.
Although unsuccessful. she had bid
high, in smiles and those unintelligible
title cries and chirps with which wom-
IN try to win the confidence Of babies.
When the ragged brother was asked
Why he had not chosen to go to her
lome. he answered. promptly:
"Oh, spotted her, right of. She's nc
mother. When she was trying to talk
baby she couldn't even get the hang

The Exc.v.t on OF Babylon.

German archaeologists are busy with
plans for the excavation of Babylon.
Inc late Sir Austen Henry Layard, the
explorer Of Nineveh, was the first one
to do anything in the way of excavat-
ing Babylon, then Sir Henry Rawlin-
,ou followed. The excavations, 1t is
claimed by the Germans, were done In
a half f-hearted way. and they are de
termined that their work shall be thor
ough. 1t will be very costly, and 1t Is
estimated it will occupy five years. Il
will be carried on by the Orient Society
Jointly with the Directors of the Roya
German Museum and the leader Of tn,
,xped tien is Dr. Robert KOldewey, WHO
has already had much experience In
such work. The expeditions will start
from Beirut. going from there to Alep-
DO. whence they will travel by caravan
TO Bagdad. Babylon itself is two days
io-rney from Bagdad. and consists of
rouph mounds scattered on the banks
of the Euphrates, under which lie the
ruins of a great city. The excavators
will begin with the fortress, which is
what remains of Nebuchadnezzar's pal
ace. where Alexander died. In addi-
ton to their excavating upon the city
site proper they will investigate a mum
ber of other ruins situated near.

The late Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, the
famous skeptic, told many stories Of
experiences which grew out of the COM
mon knowledge of his skepticism. One
Of these related to visit which he
once made to Rev. Phillips Brooks, be-
fore Doctor Brooks became bishop.

fused admission because, as the ser
want said, it was sermon day." and
some of Doctor Brooks own home peo-
pie had already been denied admission.
But Doctor Brooks learned that Inger-
soil was at the door, and sent cut word
that he should come in.
After the interview, and as Colonel
Ingersoll was about to leave, he said:
Doctor Brooks, your man told me
that you had denied yourself to some
If your home people this morning. Now
how is it that you have admitted me, a
stranger?"
"Oh, that's quite easy" said Doctor
Brooks, laughing. ''They are my

right for me to consider your belief,
and that l shall probably never NEE,

1.-The best that can be said of the
clothes imported by American men
from London is that they are well
made" said Nelson r. Huntington of
New York, who has spent years abroad
in the study Of the hospitals. 'They
never fit. Indeed, the art of misfit
seems to be carefully studied. The
garments Of both men and women
never set well. and even the actresses,
who are supposed to be exacting, suf-
fer from the inability or indispOsition
of the English tailors to tit the figure.
The finish, however, shows fine and
thorough workmanship. The French
achieve better fits. but the work Is
atrocious, making the best garments
look cheap and hurried. Not even i'm
pOrtant buttons are secure. American
tailors and dressmakers surpass every
thing in Europe in making a fit, and the
finish compares favOrably with the
English. The New-Yorkers who i'm
port garments made by Poole and other
fashionable LOndan tailors had them
refitted by American tailors until q
year or two ago, when the latter re-
fused to touch them at any price.
