This Is the Oldest Dressmaker's Bill


inscription ends with the words: In
all, ninety-two vestments, the bill
(ist) of the temple for the priests this
year" Many Of the words are IN
known, and are doubtless technical
terms employed by the modistes of
that period.
Among the items are Twelve white
robes of the temple, eight robes Of
the house Of his lady, ten collars Of
the house of his lady, ten pure gold
collars, two white robes An item
toward the end of this curious bill
-Four scented robes"-is suggestive
of the passage in Psalm xiv, in which
are mentioned the robes redolent Of
"myrrh and aloes and cassia."
It was evidently the custom in Baby
Ion to perfume the robes, as it is at
present in india and Persia. This
document is of value as showing the
great development which had taken
place in the textile arts in Chaldea
even at that early period.

Among the documents which have
lately been discovered in Chaldea is
a tablet which may well be called the
oldest dressmaker's bill in the world"
It was the custom of the Babylonian
kings to present to the temple sets
OF robes for the use of the priests and
priestesses. This was usually lone
every year. Many of these lists are in
the British Museum. The Oldest hith-
erto known has been that of a king,
about 1850 B. c. The document now
discovered is, however, much older.
The tablet is Of limestone, and was
found in the ruins of a temple in the
city Of Nipur, in southern Chaldea.
This temple was dedicated to the
ghost god" and had a large priest
hood attached to it. From the style
Of the writing. which is extremely

Treasure in
the Sea


On the coast of Corfu a story is told
which will perhaps SEINE day pass into
folklore, for it is of the stuff of which
legends are made. Whether it is true
or not no one can say, but the fisher
men Of Corfu believe it and dream
of it.
When the Empress of Austria re-
ceived the news of her son Rudolf's
death, she was wearing a famous neck
lace of Oriental pearls. That night,
so the story goes, the attendant whose
duty it was to care for the jewels, was
Mortified to see that the superb pearls
had lost their luster and looked dull
and dead. She spoke of the matter to
her mistress, who in her sorrow did
not even listen.
A month or two later the Empress
had occasion to call for her peals;
and, IN opening the case, found every
pearl of the necklace a ~lustreless gray.
She called the court jewellers into con-
sultation, but nothing could be Gone
to restore the pearls to their former
beauty.
Finally a famous chemist of Vienna
assured the Empress chat if the pearls
could be left in the sea for a long time
the action of the salt water would
bring back their color and lustre. The
Empress went to Corfu later.
While there she went with Father
Ambrosius, al old monk, who was her
friend and confdant, to a wild spot on
the shore of the island, and there they

Negro Was
X * a Hero

The following happened in Georgia
in the peace which followed the ter
rible war, says the Columbus State. It
illustrates the love that so many Of
the old slaves had for their masters
and how that love was shown:
A negro man, strong and healthy,
but getting gray from years, was on
trial in one of the county Superior
Courts for murder. He had killed an
other negro and had been lying in Jail
for some time, awaiting his trial. The
testimony against him was given by
other negroes who witnessed the kill
ing. When the case was called for trial
by the presiding judge an old man
rose and in a voice deep and low. but
full Of marked g%entleness, said: "Will
your honor please mark me for the de-
fense?"
1t was Gen. Robert Toombs Of Geor-
gia. His face was wrinkled some with
age, but it was large and strong, and
the lines Of intellect made deeper
wrinkles than those of age. His hair
wa white, but it rolled back in baby
curls from the most splendid brow that
ever graced a man. His form was tall
and straight and full sized, though his
movements were slow with the years.
His eyes still flashed as when he stood
in the Senate chamber at Washington.
The case was tried. The witnesses all
seemed u%nfriendly toward the prisoner.
In his own statement he claimed that
the killing was in self defense.
