Ancient skxsernpers.


Numerous conflicting estimates have
been made of the height of the tower
OF Babel, but one fact never has been
denied and that is that it was a sky-
scraper. st. Jerome in his common
tary on Isaiah says that the tower
was already 1900 PAGES high when
God came down to stop the work. a
pace is about two and one-half feet;
therefore 1000 PAGES must be 10000
feet; consequently Babel was twenty
times as high as the pyramids (Which
are only about 500 feet. Father Cal
met says the tower was $1,000 feet
high and that the languages were con-
founded because the architects were
confounded, as they did not know how
to bring the building to head. More
over, 1t Is understood that the Chinese
language OF today was originally the
same language us the high German.

TAXING Him at His word.

Joseph Jefferson in his biography
relates what was probably the last jest
of Artemus Ward. When the famous
wit lay dying in Southampton, he was
attended by his devoted friend Tom
Robertson, the author of "Caste," who
was also friend of Jefferson.
"Just before Wards DEATH" writes
Mr.. Jefferson, Robertson poured out
some medicine in a glass and offered
1t to his friend.
WARD said:
"'My dear Tom, can't take that
dreadful stuff
"tCome, come said Robertson, urg-
ing him to swallow the nauseous drug.
There's good fellow. Do, now, for
my sake. You know would do any
thing for you
Would you? said Ward, feebly
stretching out his hand to grasp his
friends, perhaps for the last time.
az would indeed said Robertson.

related that one day his mothers

mother, happening to turn, caught
them in the act. She complained to

who was out in regimentals, could not
be handled. His mother bided her
time. Next day, when her son was of
his guard, she cried: "Quick, Napo-

governor! He ran up to his room to
change his clothing. She quietly fol
lowed and when she Judged that the
proper time had come rushed into the
room, seized her undressed hero before
he guessed her purpose, laid him across
the maternal knee aud belabored him
earnestly with the Nat of her hand.
