DOLLS IN BABYLoN's RUINS.

The first dolls Of which there Is any
knowledge were found among the
treas unearthed from the ruins OF
Babylon. They are small figures Of
terra Gotta and ivory beautifully cary
ed and must have been fascinating
playthings for the little Assyrian chill
dren.
The little girls Of Syria had mechanl-
cal 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 of and put on.
Every doll had a bed of It's 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 we'd
ding day Then they made sacrifice of
all their toys. dolls and clothes lnclud-
ed They dedicated them as a pious Of
ferlng to some lefty, II the little girl
died before she was grown up her
dolls were buried with her,
Thus It happens that the kind and
fashion OF dolls which comforted these
ancient children Is known. All the
specimens which are kept with 50
great care behind glass doors In vari-
Gus museums were taken from some
tiny tomb,-London Express.

WAS NOT A MURDER.
What Caused Thompson to Forget
His Early Training.

Sounds of q desperate struggle,
smothered calculations and words that
would not look we'll in cold type were
heard issuing from the domicile OF T..
Arlington Thompson, city alderman
and attorney Then could be heard
the sound of a descending ak. the
scrnping of keen edged knife on bone
and all was still.
A few moments later and Thompson
appeared at the back door, his glasses
swinging to and fro from the chain by
which they were fastened to his man
ly bosom. He carried in his hands a
large object, the outlines of which
could not be discovered by the many
spectators who had gathered. Garry
ing it to a nearby ash heap he covered
it far from sight and then moved
stealthily back into the house.
Nothing of which the law could
take cognizance had been committed.
Thompson only did what any other
person would have done under similar
circumstances. Someone had given
him what was said to be a beautiful
bach duok He carried 1t home. had
it cleaned and stuffed with good
things and Drowned to "a turn. When
it was placed on the table Thompson
started to cut it with q knife. The
edge was turned and after several at
tempts to penetrate the skin then
tried an axe. Still he had no success
and tried the gravy. 1t was only after
great effort on his part that he could
cut the gravy and soon gave up the
attempt to carve The duck was not
duck, according to an Hibernian-
ism, but a wild loon.

TO SELL THE NEPTUNE
Well Known Tug May Be Sold to
Government For Light
house Work.

OF much interest to local vessel
msasters is the following as the tug
mentioned is we'll known here in this
port:
Camden and Chief Engineer Spear, of
the Revenue Cutter service, yesterday
inspected the steel tug Neptune, of the
American Towing and Lighting Com
pany. on a proposition for the pur-
chase of that vessel for the United
States Marine Hospital service in San
Francisco. They took the Neptune on
q run to Fort Carroll, and return to
inspect her machinery while in use.
a report bes boon sesedo out "''d soft
To the Secretary of the Treasury at
Washington, the nature of which, OF
course, is not known.
If the tug should be accepted and
delivered in Baltimore price is to be
sos, 900, and, if delivered in San
Francisco, it is to be $50, 600. Should
the deal be consummated the Neptune
would undertake the longest trip TO
the record of Baltimore tug, and one
of the longest in the history OF tugs.
In order to reach her destination she
would have to circumnavigate the
South American Continent and travel
a distance Oh lo,OJU mlloS. Wuctuci
she would be navigated there by Bal
timore men is an interesting detail not
vet decided. The Neptune has bunk
or capacity of 125 tons which, it is es-
timated, would, by careful manage
ment, steam her 5000 miles.
The Neptune would, thus, have to
stop at various ports for recoaling.
and it is likely that her itinerary
would include calls for coal and sup
plies at such ports as st. Thomas,
Bahai, Monetvideo, Punta Arenas,
Valparaiso, Guyaquill and some Mex
lean port. She would travel much
the same route as Lightships Nos. rs
and So. She has never been further
South than Hatteras. She was built
March, 1904, by the X. nj. Spedden
Shipbuilding Company. Baltimore,
and has been used in the coast coal
towing trade. She is modern steel
tug. lis feet long. 23 feet beam and
~ feet inches depth of hold. She
will be used in San Francisco as quar-
antine boarding vessel.
