Ancient Bookkeeping Methods.

The collection of Assyrian and Baby
lonian records at the British museum has
revealed more of the domestic life of peo-
pie who lived 5000 years ago than is
known in the case of our own country
men 1000 years ago. Such was the opin-
ion expressed by Mr.. w. st. Chad Bos-
cawen when he explained these relics to
an interested audience. The clay bricks
and cylinders beneath the glass cases
were covered with characters testifying
to completely organized system of JUS
tice, marriage, divorce and commerce.
The bookkeeping Of 5000 years ago
was shown to be wonderfully accurate. A
curious form of record is that preserved
In the form of baked clay tablets, which
were inclosed in clay envelopes, also in
scribed with the terms of the transac-
tion. SO that double record provided
against the possibilities Of damage. The
"open and closed evidence spoken Of by
Jeremiah is supposed to refer to this sys-
tenn. The practice of recording on a
brick the name of the king. OF the build
ing and of the city in which it was being
erected has had the advantage in mod
ern days that an odd brick may become
the means of disinterring city hitherto
unknown.-London Chronicle.

STALE LsGaY AND NEW.
Indigestion saomld Not Wait Upon
One More Than the Other.

New bread is well known to be less di.
gestible than stale bread, although it need
not be so. There ccn be no question,
however, of the vastly superior flavor of
the former. and hence the preference of
many people for hot rolls for breakfast.
So far the palate world appear not to be
safe guide to digestion. Hot rolls. how
ever, when masticatcd properly should
not offer any difficulty to the digestive
organs. a slice of stale bread on being
broken with the teeth resolves into more
or less hard. gritty particles which, unless
they were softened by the saliva, would
be almost impossible to swallow. The
particles would irritate the throat and
the gullet. The fact is, therefore, that
man is compelled thoroughly to n,asticate
and to impregnate stale bread with saliva
before he swallows it. This act, of course,
partially digests the brcad and thus makes
1t in fit state for digestion and absorb
This is why stale bread appearss 10 De
more disestible than new bread.
/ New bread. on the contrary, is soft.
doughty or plastic, and there appears to
be no necessity to soften it with saliva;
hence it escapes the preliminary digestive
action of the ptyalin of the saliva. New
bread, in other words, is in reality "bolt
ed" and ..bolting' accounts for many of
the ills arising from dyspepsia. Accord
ingly hot rolls should be enjoyed for
breakfast without fear Of dyspepsia so
long as the bread is good and SO long as
pains are taken to masticate it thorough
ly.
When a dog is given piece of meat.
it will be- noticed that he bolts it. There
is not much reason why it should stay in
the mouth, for the mouth, beyond reduc-
ing it by the aid of the teeth to conven-
lent mass, cannot deal with its digestion.
But if the dog be given piece of bread,
supposing he eats it at all, he will keep
it in his mouth for some time and will
almost labor over it before swallowing it.
The dog thus teaches very important
physiological lesson.
1t is curious fact that stale bread is
not more dry than new bread, for on
submitting stale bread for short time
to a high temperature it regains its con-
dition of newness and becomes soft or
plastic, and this in spite &C the fact that
some moisture is of necessity driven off
in the operation. 1t is probable that in
new bread there is free water present.
while in stale bread the water is still
there, but in condition of true chem
ical combination, and it is this combina-
ton which compels us thoroughly to
moisten and to masticate stale bread be-
fore we consign it to the gastric centers.
