EASY TO FIND THE HOME.
Story Related by Russian Ambassa
dor of a Native Manufactur
and Employee.

Count Cassini, Russian ambassador
lowing story:
"a Russian manufacturer had in his
employ mechanic who for some
time had been pleading as an excuse
for absence, that his child was ILL.
When the man did appear for work
his face bore unmistakable signs of
dissipation, according to the employ
er's point of view. The workman said
it was due to loss of sleep.
Zone morning when there was an
important piece of work to do (for
the mechanic was fine artisan), a
fellow-workman came in and reported
to the manufacturer that the irregu-
lar mechanic could not come The
child was very sick.
'Angered. the master demanded the
place of residence of his lying work
man, and he himself would go and
rout him out of his drunken stupor.
''The fellow-worker, however, gave
such a detailed and intricate plan
of the district in which the house
could be found that the manufacturer
did not go to investigate.
Next morning the workman again
reported that the mechanic could not
come.
CT will find him. said the irate en-
ployer, where does he live?'
Very simple matter said the
workman.
"'Simple,' roared the manufacture
er, yesterday you made believe that
it was almost impossible to find him.
"'True,' said the man, falteringly,
now you just look for house With

HAPPY FAR-OFF CHILDHOOD.

Where the primrosed ways are vending
And the live oaks cast their shade;
Where the willow twigs are bending
Ger the streams we used to wade;
Where the oriole is swinging
In his nest high up in air,
And the hooking birds are singing,
Don't you with that you were there?
Don't you wish-I'll bet you're dreaming
OF the dear old scenes right now!
OF the fiecks of sunlight cleaning
On the water, and of how
You have sat along in June time
And have watched the bubbles rise
Till the droning heat of noontime
Laid its spell upon your eyes.
And until the west'ring shadows
Like an lumber mantle lay
Over stream and wood and meadows
You have dozed the hour away
In that borderland of sleeping,
Where the bird songs filtered through,
And you felt the breeZeS creeping
Wish it? just know you do!
You can see the meadows bending
To a sloping grassy brink;
You can see the cattle vending
Softly lowing down to drink.
And the orchard and the Wildwood,
All the dear old scenes you knew
In your happy far-off childhood;
Don't they all come back to your

photographic stone in Greece.

One of the rarities of the earth is
the fine-grained limestone used for
making photographic plates. The quar-
ries at Solenhofen. Germany, are cele
brated not only for the excellence of
their photographic stone, but also be-
cause remarkable specimens of the ex-
tinct flying reptile called the arch
aeopterix have been found embedded
in the stone. News now comes from
Athens that large deposits of this
stone have been discovered in Thessaly,
not far from Pharsalia, where Pompey
the Great was defeated by Julius
Caesar. Some experts say this Greek
stone is superior to the best hereto
fore known in Europe.

A DETECTIVE ROOSTER.
Fowl Was the Means
of Restoring a Pair of Miss
ing Boots.

good story is told of Capt. Joe
Morley, of the Canal street ferry Alice.
When Capt. Worley was plotting the
Richard street ferry Jerome Hanley
he had negro fireman working on
the boat who at times was affected
with kleptomania. This negro was
good-natured fellow, but he would
swipe things, and consequently the
pilot and engineers of the boat had
to be very careful about how they left
things around. One morning Capt.
Morley missed new pair of shoes,
which he had left in the pilot house the
evening before. He asked the negro
if he had seen the shoes, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat
"No, sah," said the negro, 81 hain't
seen yo' shoes"
Notwithstanding his denial Capt.
Worley was confident the negro had
the shoes. He called his brother, who
was engineer on the boat, and they laid
trap for the negro. The next morn
ing when Sam showed up he was adj
dressed by the engineer, who said:
"Well. Sam, the cap'n's going to
bring his rooster down here"
''Am dat SOP" answered the darby,
San TO de Lawd's sake what's he gwine
bring his rooster hyah for?"
"Why, Sam, haven't you heard about
the cap'n's rooster?"
mo, sah," answered the darby. 81
hain't heerd nothin' about no rooster"
swell, this rooster" continued the
engineer, sis kind of detective. When
ever we miss. anything around the
house, we call everybody in the house
into one room. Then we point to them
one after another. When we point at
the right one the rooster crows, and
then we find out who stole the missing
article"
This seemed to worry Sam a great
deal. That evening, just before knock
ing off time he went to the captain and
said:
"Marse Joe, yo' hain't got no rooster
detective, is you?"
"Yes, Sam, have" replied the cap
tain.
well, yo' hain't gwine bring dat
rooster down here, is yo', cap'n?"
"Yes, am. You see, must have my
shoes, and that's the only way to find
out who has Them" continued the cap
| tain.
"Well. cap'n, for the Lawd's sake,
don't bring dat rooster down here, for
| if yo' pints at me, he's sho' gwine
crow"
The captain then told the darky that
if the shoes were returned he would
not bring the rooster down. The
darky agreed to this. The next morn
ing the captain received small pack
age, accompanied by the,negro's resig-
nation as fireman of the boat,

THE STEELE OF HAMMURABI.
Finding of Ancient Inscriptions of
Vast Value for the History
of Civilization.

In the classic lands and the lands
of the ancient east excavations by for
eign scholars are encouraged or al
lowed, but the objects found cannot
be removed to other countries, except
in the case of duplicates of no special
value. The rape of the Elgin marbles
is an event of long ago which Greece
mourns. Old pictures must be snug
gled from Italy. Egypt has half a
dozen expeditions at work excavating
all the time, but whatever is found is
tributary to the Bulak museum. Even
Turkey now has strict laws, which are
building up the Constantinople muse
UNI. Only Persia is free hunting
ground, especially for the French gov
eminent, writes DR.. William Hayes
Ward, in "Wh6> Was Hammurabi?" in
Century.
In 1882 M. Dieulafoy, with his ener-
getic wife dressed in masculine attire,
began explorations at Susa, and re-
moved the upper layers of soil. They
were followed, after an interval, by NJ
de Morgan, savant of the first rank,
who had gained his first experience in
Egypt. He has been at work for near
ly ten years, and has gone down to the
lower strata, which represented the
earlier period of the history of Elan.
But the most valuable things found
thus far are those objects which had
been brought as trophies from Baby
lonia. One of these is the wonderful
STEELE of Naram-Sin, who ruled north
ern Babylonia 5000 years B. c., some
say 3,70O years B. G. The king stands
proudly on the field of battle, and the
vigor of the art is worthy of the early
Greek period.
A STEELE of vastly more value for the
history of civilization than the stele
of Naram-Sin, or the stones which re-
cord the grants of land by kings to
their favorite subjects, covered with
grotesque emblems of the gods who
will punish anyone who ventures to
annul the grant, is the great STEELE of
Hammurabi from Sippara. On it we
see the king in the same humble atti-
tude of alteration which appears on
the other STEELE found at Sippara, stand
ing in worship before the sun god
Shamash He is not, as has been said
by those who have published it, repre-
scented as receiving the laws from
Shamash-that is bit of imagination
borrowed from the account of Gods
giving the law to Moses; but he simply
appears in the ordinary attitude of
worship, lifting his hand to his god.
Shamash was designated the "Judge
of Gods and Men" 1t was then spe-
cially appropriate that this record of
laws should be set up before his
shrine, in his city, and that he should
be represented not as a warrior in a
fighting attitude, but sitting on the
throne of judgment. AT the same time
his solar character was indicated by
the rays rising from his shoulders,
which are omitted in the other stele
found at Sippara.
