his side killed by a cannon ball which
scattered his brains in every direction.
His eyes were at once fixed on the
ghastly object, which seemed to en-

observing him supposed he was intim-

then goes the kaiser one better He says:
The kaiser is a discerning man In short visit with

Some three or four years ago a critic who sought
distinction by anectauon art and culture asked
the crushing question: who reads Dickens now Since
then there have been several editions OF the author
and the steady demand for his is so large as to
prove that he is read by thousands and hundreds Of
thousands But probably mere mass would not be con
sidered an adequate answer to the question which is
recalled because Nj Swnburne has proclaimed himself

Ancient Banking House.

DR.. A. T. Clay, formerly pupil and
now assistant of Prof. Herman V. Hi
precht, the worlds leading authority
on Babylonian antiquities, has been at
work several months deciphering and
arranging the records Of the banking
firm of Murashu Sons, which was the
leading banking house of the city OF
Nippur, in Babylonia, several hundred
years before Christ, says the Brown
Book. Mortgages, worded in . form
very similar to that in use in the pres
ent day; wills, deed Of sale or rent,
merchants guarantees Of goods sold
in the markets, and other business
dealings OF almost every conceivable
kind are found among them.
