Rill NNc on Life Insurnncc.

The late Bill Nyes Endorsement OF

characteristic paragraph to be quoted
from his writings:
"In these days OF dynamite and swift
changing presidential administrations
and dark tunnels through which an en-
ginccr goes groplng his way AT - miles
per hour, these days of tumblng signs
of the times and tipsy telegraph poles,
live wires and dead rcpairers: these
days when the politician and the dead
~ bridge policeman with his pull lie
down together under the influence Of
the same stimrlant; these days when
death turks in the air we breathe. the
earth we tread, the food we eat, the
water-the water we battle in--I say II
behooves US to look well 10 our insur-
ance and oII' future state, and ! take
pleasure In certifying and saying to
whom these presents may come that
since l became fully insured my health
has improved so much that II Is sub
ject for profound congratulation on my
own part and the deepest disgust on
the part OF those who would naturally
inherit my vast wealth"

KeepinR the Head Clean.

Keeping the head perfectly clean is a
great aid to health. An exchange tells
of a distinguished physician who, hav-
ing spent much of his time at quaran-
tine, said that a person whose head
was thoroughly washed every day rare
ly took contagious diseases, but when
the hair was allowed to become dirty
and matted 1t was hardly possible TO
escape infection. Many persons find
speedy relief for nervous headache by
washing the head thoroughly in weak
soda water. We have known cases al
most wholly cured in ten minutes by
this simple remedy \ friend finds 1t

cold,' the cold symptoms entirely leav-
ing the eyes after one thorough wash
ing of the hair. The head should he
thoroughly dried afterward, and drafts
of mir should be avoided for a little
while.

William Beal, clsrk; Calvin Oakes,

MIR Cakes was also justice of the

HOW hlkn vun uue loWeT VI n""S''
The actual height at which the last
stone Of that famous structure, the
Tower of Babel, rested cannot on ac-
count of the rcmoteness of the times NJ
which II is said to have existed, ever
become more than n matter of mercst
conjecture. IIerodotus, who lived about
loo years after that great spiral way
to heaven" Is said to have been at
tempted. says that he saw at Babylon
q structure consisting OF eight towers
raised one above another, each - feet
in height, but whether this ruin was
the remains Of the Tower of Babel II
was even then impossible to ascertain.
Ierodotus, usually mlnutely exact In
his writing, leaves us IN ignorance as
TO how the upper level Of each Of these
- foot towers was reached from the
level below.
AS might be expected, even in tradl-
ton, wide difference Of opinion exists
as to the height Of the tower. Most ori-
entaiists maintain that God did not put
a stop to the work until the tower had
reached height Of 10000 fathoms, or
about II miles In Ceylonese tradition
1t is said to have been as high as 10000
each standing one above the
other. st. Jerome asserts on the au
tNority of persons who had examined |
the ruins that il did not reach height
four miles Other state
ments are still more eytravagant.
