The First Dolls.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The first dolls of which there is any knowl-
edge were found among the treasures I'M
earthed from the ruins of Babylon. They
were small figures in terra Gotta and ivory,
beautifully carved, and must have been fas-
cinating playthings for the little Assyrian
children.
The little girls of Syria had mechanical
dolls. The arms and legs were moved by
pulling strings, much after the fashion Of
jumping Jacks. -
The dolls the classic Greek children played
with were made of wax and clay, decorated
with bright colors.. One kind had movable
limbs and it's clothes were made to take off
and put on. Every doll had bed Of Its
own. These dolls represented gods and
heroes, but whatever they were meant to
represent they were dressed with loving
care by the little Greeks.
AS these children married when they were
very young they played with their dolls
until just before their wedding day. Then
they made a sacrifice of all their toys, dolls
and clothes included. They dedicated them
as a pious offering to some deity. If the
little girl died before she was grown up her
dolls were buried with her.
Thus 1t happens that the kind and fashion
of dolls which comforted these ancient chill
dren are known. All the specimens which
are kept with such great care behind glass
doors in various museums were taken from
some tiny tomb.

Benedict Arnold Relics Found

From the Lewiston Journal
Those of us intefestsa in early American
history, whether absorbed at school or ac-
quired by maturer reading, recall Benedict
Arnold, his brillfancy and treason perhaps
more vividly than almost any prominent
figure of the revolution.
The students of those times recall that
Washington sent him. with LOO soldiers,
on the i'll fated expedition to Quebec in 1915
by the way of ths Kennebec river and
through the forests of Maine. Two miles
below Gardiner, In Colburrl's yard, his
command halted long enough to construct
200 bateaux with which he proposed to
transport troops and supplies through the
northern waters. 50 =. As
week ago ]. Rafter and Abbot Lord
Gardiner, business men that fish the river
for sport, brought up in their great stur-
geon net, directly opposite where the ba-
teaux were built, an anchor, or grapnel,
which is undoubtedly a genuine Arnold relic.
The stalk is some four feet long, and car
ries five curved arms welded to it's base. 1t
was evidently fashioned of wrought Iron
over an anvil.
These anchors were thrown out ahead of
the bateaux, by which means they were pull
ed through rapids. and swift water. For 129
years the anchor remained in the waters of
the Kennebec, now to come to Hight, a mute
but eloquent reminder of the man who be-
trayed his country.

Poison Of Fatigue.
, the Providence Journal.

From the Providence journal.
For some time now the hard doctrine OF
physical culture has been persistently
preached to US. We have been urged, as a
means of preserving health and prolonging
life, to give ourselves over for a consider
able part of eacH day to strenuous physi-
cal exercise, in the gymnasium or in some
rugged sport, indoor or outdoor, according
to the season; and unless those who follow
the advice are more than ordinarily given
to lying we are forced to the conclusion
that the practice is really so effective as to
keep men in suchogaod health and so to
prolong their lives as to threaten serious
economic dislocationsn and most uncom-
fortably to Inconvenience the waiting
younger generations. sThe prospect might
be disquieting indeedsdwere 1T not for the
assurance found lin the discovery of the
poison of fatigue-desexibed as an affection
Of the blood, engepdered by bodily weari-
ness, so active and yirulent that II few
drops be taken from the veins of person
suffering from Hland injected into the
veins of a person perfectly fresh and I'M
wearied the effect,ds Ike that of the vege-
table poison with which savages tip their
arrows Indeed chemical analysis Is said
to reveal that this fatigue poison is pre-
cisely the same In nature as that vegetable
poison This discovery-and In these days
of wonders what discovery is incredible?-
NAV not only brighten the prospects of the
human race ON earth, but may considerably
ease the consciences Of some of us who are
now worrying through the Imprisonment OF
the flesh.

Extent Of Patent Medicine.
From Leslie's Monthly.


Take all the cocoa and chocolate manu-
featured in this country in year. Add all
the backing and bluing, the f1avoring and
extracts, and the axle grease Take next
a years product of that beet sugar In
dustry which was important enough to
hold up great treaty for two years In
the Congress Of the United States. Throw
on all the glue, the refined lard, the cas-
tor oil, the perfumes and cosmetics and
the kindling wood. Finally put on top of
the pile the entire output of ink and mucil-
age. The total value of this accumulation
will still be less than that of years prod
uct of what we call patent medicines"
The census of 1900 placed the value of
patent medicines" produced In this coun-
try annually at fifty-nine million six hum
bred and eleven thousand three hundred
and thirty-five dollars. AS the average
profit is about one-third, this means that
the sum paid over the retail druggists
counters, taking no account of increased
consumption in the last four years, is some
thing like eighty millions of dollars year.
about a dollar for every man, woman and
child in the country.

A Dog Hitching Post.
FROM the Philadelphia Press.

Every one has seen, the dog that rides
behind his master on horseback; and the
dog that leads the old blind man, and the
one that carries his masters cane or paper,
and the dog that can do tricks, but it has
been left to an uptown expressman to
utilize his little spaniel as a hitching post.
Almost every day he may be seen seated by
his masters side, with strap attached to
the collar he wears. When the team stops
and the expressman has to go into the
fastens the strap to the horses bride. The
dog will then sit down and look up into
the horses face and remain in that position
till the expressman releases him: At this
he leaps into the wagon and they drive

TENNIS HONORS
FOR CALIFORNIA A

The annual intercollegiate tennis
matches postponed from last Saturday
were completed in the Berkeley courts
yesterday. AS was expected, Califor-
MIA carried off the honors, winning all
three matches. This makes the fifth
consecutive year in which California
has shut out her opponent at tennis.
Although the doubles were won by
Berkeley in straight sets, the match
was by no means one-sided. The score
was 10. GA The contestants were
George Hodge and John Cassell Of
Stanford and Claude Wayne and Rob
ert Variel of California. Wayne and
Varie, played a steady game and
proved just trifie too strong for Cas-
sell and Hodge. Cassell gave his part
nar excellent support and played sur
prisingly good game considering his
lack of experience.
The second singles match, the first of
which was won by Neil Baker last Sat-
urday, also resulted in a victory for the
California representative. The set
played yesterday went to Baker by a
score of 6-3. making the complete score
in his favor 60, 6-3
