EULOGY ON A BRICK.
INSCRIPTION WRITTEN BY OR
DER OF AsSYRIAN KING.
L Translated INTO English by Prof.
Torrey, Of Yale University
Block Of Clay Made 2,7OO
F., Years Ago.

New Haven. COnn.-An interesting in.
scription, made upon a ~sun-baked brick
some 200 years ago, by order of Shall
manese H., king Of Assyria, has just
been translated into English by Prof
Charles {. Torrey, of Yale university,
The brick has been in the possession OF
ale for almost 80 years, but the cune-
iform writing in the inscription is Of a
rude character, and a previous attempt
at translation in 1870 vas only partly
successful.
The inscription is d short eUIOgy of the
king and his father. 1t ends in a man
mel calculated to remind one of the old
nursery rhyme about The House That
Jack Built" The full inscription, as
translated by Prof. Torrey, is:
'Shalmaneser, the great king, the
mighty king, ruler Of the universe, king
OF the land Of Assyria; son of Ashur-
nasirpal. the great king, the mighty
king, ruler of the universe. king of the
land Of Assyria; son of TukuIti-Ninah,
ruler of the universe, king of the LAND
Of Assyria, and he built the tower of
the City of Calah."
What the tower Of CaIah was, and why
1t was considered of sufficient impor-
lance to be mentioned as the chief fact
worthy of remembrance in connection
with this ruler Of the universe" with

1t was agreed that the six persons pres
ent should light at the same moment ci-

the matter.
One of them was unable to make his
smoke longer than half an hour; an
other SO minutes. The third smoked just
an hour. the fourth an hour and a half,
and the fifth one hour and fifty minutes.
Finally the sixth alone was smoking,
and he continued beyond b two hour
mark, and won the prize Of 500 marks,

HE FOUND A COOL PLACE.
Diligent Search Revealed the Ideal
Place for Ripening Off Green
BananaS

The man Of the house brought home
the other evening five dozen bananas
which he had seen going cheap as he
passed by the hucksters on the street,
They were a bit green, to be sure, but
the huckster told him if he would put
them in a cool, dark place they would
rlpen IN time n taste exactly as il
they had that moment come from ia
maica, relates the Baltimore News.
When the man reached home he
locke for the cool, dark place. At first
he thought he would put the fruit on
top of the bookcase in a dark corner
or the library, and then he felt sure
that his wife's eagle eye would de-
tect a Dit OF the green ~prOtruding over
the edge, and would have it out Of
there inStanter.
A bandbox on the table attracted his
attention. It contained his wife's best
hat, just home from the miIliner's. and
without further ado, he took the be-
feathered connection from it's nest and
placed it on a marble figure standing
near and dumped the bananas into the
box. Then it occurred to him that his
better half was sensitive about nothing
so much as her head wear, and so he
o out the fruit, replaced the hat and
went into the kitchen to ask the advice
Of Bridget.
Bridget was not on hand. She had
stepped out a moment to the back gate
to talk to the vegetable man, who was
fascinating, even though married, but
the man eye caught the gas stove, and
he felt that at last he had found the
prOper place for the ripening process.
There was fire in the range, therefore
the gas stove must be out of commits
sion, and so he opened the oven door
and popped in the bananas and went
back into the library for a smoke.
1t was two hours later, and his wife
was still trying On her new hat and
making her husband stop reading every
nVe minutes to tell her whether he con-
sldered it more becoming than her green
one, and if he didn't think it a little
just a little-too wide on the left side.
when, in the midst of this pleasing &C.
cupatIon, the lady stopped short. sud
denly, and shifted suspiciousIy.
If | weren't quite sure that we never
had a cooked banana in this house, I
should say that Bridget was baking some
at this moment" said she.
Her husband looked up with more ami
nation than he had displayed in the
matter of the hat.
You don't use the gas stove now, do
you?' he asked interest 2dly.
certainly We do-fOr some things"
she replied. Are you sure you don't
THINK the plumes would look better
brOght farther to ware the ~front?"
But she was speaking to empty air.
for her better half had vanished kitch-
enward~ When he came back his ex-
preston was downcast.
Bridget is baking some bananas for
you for a little surprise" said he. She
says they are very good with sugar and
cinnamon"
And that is all Of the story, except
that that family had bananas for break
fast, luncheon and dinner for a week
thereafter, until Bridget got tired of the
matter and gave the emnants to
a poor family in the alley.
