Ancient Use Of Concrete.

The use of concrete masonry prob
ably begins with the Romans, who
employed it in road building and
foundation work. Coming down
from the time of tha Romans, the
ancient city of Ciudad Rodrigo has
walls existing at the present day in
which are buried large powders Of
stone These walls are in a good
state Of preservation at the present
time-in fact, so much so that they
still bear the prints of the boards
which made up the forms which
held the concrete in its semiliquid
state at the time it was put in. It
is an interesting matter to note that
the modern practice of putting large
masses of stone in concrete masonry
follows exactly the scheme used in
building these: ancient walls Of Gu
dad Rodrigo. This method not only
reduces the cost of the resulting
fabric, but also makes it stronger

Some Merely Trifis Less Sad Than
Others, That Is All.
Seriously speaking, funny story
is no laughing matter. Humor is
one of the worlds great institutions,
thing to be approached with rev.
erence akin to awe, as something
cold as the pole, imperishable as the
pyramids and often a great deal
more ancient. If we abase ourselves
before ancient and holy things, can
we afford to laugh at the capers Of
the convict chimpanzee, who in
point of ancestry antedates the Pc
ter Lelys and Joshua Reynoldses Of
our baronial halls?
Funny stories, furthermore, are
usually based on something which
is not funny at all. Their points,
in fact, often depend solely upon
an unsympathetic view of some
great human misfortune. What is
more pathetic to a sane mind than
a funeral or a harelip or a divorce
or mother-in-law? Yet, shades of
Rameses, how useful they have be-
come in vaudeville!
l don't think that there are any
really side splitting stories in the
world. Some are merely a trife less
sad than others; that is.all. How
admirable is the calm philosophy of
the man who refused to ride with
his mother-in-law at his wife's fu-
neral because" as he explained, ct
would spoil the days pleasures for
me" And yet there are persons so
careless as to regard this as mere
buffoonery.
And so the endless procession of
anecdotes files by, none of them, as
I have said, really funny, but some
a little less sad than the others. In
the jocund days of heraldic ED,
when the woods were teeming with
parft gentil knights and the sense
Of humor was less particular than
nowadays, every king had jester
hired by the week, and the clown
was furnished with a certain appli-
ance which made all his jokes imme-
diately appreciated. What, prithee?
Nothing more than a bladder on a
stick. When the jester came to the
point of the joke he popped the
bladder smartly on the floor. That
was a signal, Cali laughw So the
uproar was deafening. Those were
golden days to live in!-Wallace IT.

Curran and the TaiIors.

Curran, the famous orator Apd
wit, never hesitated to sacrifice his
friends for the sake of a joke. On
one occasion the Merchant Talon
guild of Dublin gave banquet, to
which he was invited-in fact, he
was the guest of honor. He kept
his hosts amused all evening. There
were just eighteen of his entertain
ers, and when Curran took his leave
he waited till he reached the door,
then with smile and a bow said,
"And now, gentlemen, | have the
honor of saving good night to both
of you.'' He made his escape before
the eighteen tailors realized the
joke, and then it was too late to
catch him.

While at- tempting to cross neighboring stream. a small detachment of cav airy. returning from scout in the Comanche country, suddenly made it's appearance on the farther bank The clatter of hanging sabers and booted carbines, as the horses were brought to a sudden halt at the edge of the stream, greatly frightened the animal ridden by the girl, and as 1t turned suddenly about in spasmodic effort to escape, she was thrown from it's back into the stream.
 Fearing that the girl might be drowned, an officer with the detach- ment quickly dismounted and plung- ing into the stream, brought the wom- an safely to the shore.

They were all of light weight and light col ored wool and all made on the box or der; loose and comfortable. easy to get into and out of. For a girl of IF there was a three-quarter length coat of tan cloth plaided by lines of soft green; cuffs and collar of green cloth. A twin in design was of tan and red. For an older girl was shown a semi- loose jacket of tan covert cloth. just the thing for cool summer days and very pretty with a sailor of burnt straw.

HATS OF THE DAY.

It is hard for mere woman not to fall into temptation when she goes to the great openings" with which willy shop. merchant and milliner lure her in the days when everything she has worn during the past season be- gins to look hopelessly shabby All the yanities of the feminine world are spread out before her; she finds such lot of things just exactly her style, just to her taste-alas not to her purse. But just when she is beginning to wish she had not come at all, she lights upon what appeals and yet is not out of all reason as to price; for today the greatest variety is offered, and if one but be patient and spend time one can get very good warm weather outfit without greet expendi- ture.
 For instance, there are really good lingerie waists to be had at reasonable prices, and ready-to-wear hats in very good style. Yesterday as we strolled through the aisles of store whose reputation is worldwide, we saw gowns whose cost scared pretty high and also the most fetching bargains in the way of shirt-waists and pretty hats. And stuffs on display ranged all the way from dotted Swiss at $250 a yard to a thin white goods at 15 cents, and in the latter we realized there were wonderful possibilities fine tucking. bit of cream insertion with frills of white lace. a modish pat tern used in the cut, and lingerie blouse evolved equal to the one in the glass case over wonder. For the lingerie blouse of the season, the shoulder seam is moderately short; sleeve moderately full and quite short and edged with frills; the back trimmed, not. however. so elaborately as the front. The fiuffy blouse is very charming worn with a coreselet skirt, the kind high at the back and cut out in front
 It seemed to us all the skirts on dis play except those of strictly utili- tartan sort. were made coreselet
