Diaainq Into Jericho.

Prof. Sellin's excavations on the site
of the ancient city of Jericho are Yield
Ing unexpectedly rich treasures. In
his last letters to the Vienna Academy
of Science the professor writes that
over 100 men are digging at five differ
ent points. One of the most interest
ing finds is the historical city wall,
built of burnt-lime bricks. 1t was some
ten feet in thickness, rising from a
stone foundation. On the western
side of the city the wall was nearly 40
feet in width. At another point pri-
vate house was found built over an
other house of a still earlier epoch.
Other discoveries, says Pail Mall Ga
zette, include lamps, plates, cups,
needles, weights, mortars and mills of
bronze and stone, some of very rough
and primitive handiwork and others
very finely executed In the inner city
remains of rows of houses have been
uncovered The ancient Hebrew let
tering proves that the old Hebrew
characters were in use. Prof. Sellin
hopes to renew the excavating work
next winter. In the meantime he says
that the work already done has opened
up wealth of material for the student
Of the pre-Israelite and Canaanite
period.

Iightful experiences have ever
known.
1t was a monkey dinner.
A monkey dinner consists of hap
cy mixture of society and monkey
with just a trifle more society than
monkey to give it the proper flavor
The idea of this monkey dinner orig
mated in fertile spot in the south
eastern part of Vanwigglevandoozen's s
brain, which up to then was supposed
to be extinct. The eruption of such
q gigantic idea from brain supposed
to be extinct, came as a great but
pleasant shock to society.
Originally it was Vanwlgglevan-
doozon's idea to have Clarence Fussy-
face play the monkey, because Clar.
ence's intelligence is built on plan
to suggest mimicry, but hand-organ
proprietor by the name of Giuseppi,
who is summering at Newport, came
to the rescue with real monkey by
the name of Claude.
Claude had acted for many years
as second-story man for Guiseppi,
and is one of the very best ice-cut.
ters In the whole monkey business.
A full-dress suit is made for Claude,
and when he entered society you
could tell at once that he was not a
waiter.
Claude was placed at the head of
| the table. and as he sat there smiling
at his friends 1t made one of the
sweetest pictures OF family content
ment have ever witnessed.
There were no set speeches.
Vanwigglevandoozen gave Claude q
glass of champagne, which the guest
of honor politely refused by spilling
1t down the neck Of Harry Pifne,
mind, In such an artless monkey
way that the other guests roared with
delight.
With monkey signs Claude gave the
signal to rush the growler, which was
accomplished with true spirit OF
good fellowship by the butler.
The conversation during the din
ner hour was altogether of zoolog
| ical nature,
Claude displayed an acrobatic. ap
petite and went down the line, from
soup to nuts, in manner which was
captivating in the extreme.
After completely filling the large in
side pocket originally built for him by
Mother Nature, Claude began to pu
the knives and forks in the pocket,
1f his full-dress suit.
This was greeted with ringing
cheers from those present.
The only break that Claude made
during the dinner was trying TO pu

One country merchant writes the
Home Trade league as follows:
"Since / have adopted the city idea
Of advertising manning new goods
with prices, and at the same time
making known what ! desire to dis
pose of at or about cost to make room
for new goods-my sales have not
only increased very largely with regu-
lar customers, but have secured
many new ones. Not only this--in-
stead OF the farmers wives spending
from half to an hour and q half look
Ing about the store to see what there
is in stock they may want and taking
the clerks time who otherwise would
have chance to sell goods to several
other customers, they come In and
ask for the very articles they have
seen advertiged and which they have
already decided they do want from
seeing the advertisement In this week
ly paper, and the result is have been
able to dispense with one Of my clerks
to whom was paying $500 per year"
This merchant further says that
this saving of clerk hire expended In
this same kind Of advertising during
the year will, he is confident. Increase
his trade SO per cent. and that he can
already name 2S customers who but
very recently have been buying their
goods almost entirely from Chicago
catalogue houses.
This experience without doubt can
be duplicated by thousands OF other
men in business throughout the coun-
trys 1t is to be feared that the aver
age merchant in the smaller towns has
allowed himself to get into a rut, and

emerge If he has any desire to stay

On certain days of the month at
numerous supply depots conducted
by county and city charities, long
rows of men and women can be seen
awaiting their turn to get a small
supply Of flour, sugar and other neces-
saries of life. Some are helpless, de-
formed. and their looks indicate want
and misery, but there are others who
have no appearance of need. Here
again we find men and women leaving
pride and self-respect behind because
of the desire to secure something for
nothing.
From the highest walks Of life to
the lowest the all-prevailing and DOM
inant trait in evidence to show the
weakness OF the individual is the
struggle to get something for moth
Ing. It is based upon knowledge Of
this fraility of humankind that some
great business enterprises are built.
Wonderful bargains are advertised,
and the masses rush to buy, without
calm reasoning, in the matter of any
comparisons of value. Good business
judgment is cast In the background
by the madness to get something for
nothing.
The get-rich.quick operator uses the
same methods to lead to his trap VIC
Tins with dollars as do the railroads,

others who have certain objects to

IS HUMAN WEAKNESS
THE DESIRE TO GET SOMETHING
FOR NOTHING.
AN IGNIs FATUUs TO AVOID
One Cause That Has Led to the Down
fall Of Many-Fallaey That
Ever Tends Toward
Evil.

A man who won the confidence, re-
spect and admiration Of the people of
his state was elected to the United
States senate. Soon 1t is discovered
that he was owned by the railroads" !"
bought by favors and instead of repre-
senting the interests Of the people
who sent him to his high place in
the nations councils, preferred to rep
resent the corporations that made It
possible for him to ride over rail-
roads without cost. 1t is only dem
onstration of human inclination to get
something for nothing.
The member of state legislature
was accused of showing special atten-
ton to legislation favorable to the
railroads and corporations. He was
charged with riding on passes; and in
fact 1t became known that his prin.
ncipal supporters, too, rode free over
the railroads. Another illustration OF
the human desire to secure something
for nothing.
The mayor Of city regularly occu-
pied box at the leading theater;
handed out free street car ticket to
the conductor, enjoyed free drinks at
the bars-another example of the man
who wanted something for nothing,
and at last his greed caused him to
enter into dishonest deals that landed
him In the penitentiary.

Ethical Code of Electrical Engineers.

Ethical Code of Electrical Engineers.
One of the most gratifying incidents
of the present era of ethical awaken.
ing in America was the recent agita.
tion in favor of the adoption of an
ethical code by the Institute of Elec-
trical Engineers. 1t is true that at the
recent annual meeting at Niagara the
carefully prepared code, upon which a
competent committee had unanimous
ly agreed, met with delay, on mere
grounds Of technical procedure. The
postponement of consideration by no
means, however, implies rejection of
the measure, says Century Magazine,
and the present authorities of the in.
-stitute will doubtless carry the matter
forward with all constitutional dis,
patch, for no member of this honora.
BILE profession, a profession yearly in.
creasing in responsibility and impor.
tance, would be willing to go on record
as permanently opposing so desirable
a reform, and one which the press OF
the country has hailed with such cor.
dial and significant approval.

John T. Tagan, driver of the Bos.
ton fire department, who, to avoid a
collision of his truck with a crowded
trolley car, realizing that many of the
passengers might be killed, deliberate.
ly turned his horses toward the side
walk and was killed himself as re.
suit, was truer hero than most of
those who died in war, because with.
out hope of reward or glory he gave
his life that others might live. Tagan
was credited with being one of the
most skillful drivers in the depart
ment, and his death under these cir.
cumstances is another illustration that
the danger to the firemen is not al.
ways the fires, but the going to them,
hence the wickedness OF the false
alarm.

Drainage VS.. Irrigation.

The immense possibilities of drain
age in making new productive land
for the United States are forcefully
pointed out in the latest report of the
geological survey 1t is estimated
that no less than 60,0O0,000 acres Of
land may be reclaimed in this manner.
If less than half of this work is done,
it is said that the land values Of the
United States would be increased $2,-
500,000,000 and that the crop values
would be advanced $750,O00,000 year.
This showing, says the Monitor Maya
zine, is expected to have a marked
effect on congress in the matter of ap-
preparations. But to impress the les
son still further, it is estimated that
with the division of this new land into
40-acre farms, 1,25O,000 families, or
100000 persons, could be provided
with homes; that each family would
spend some $4,000 in making waste
places bloom, and that the total ex-
Denditure in thus bettering the United
States would be something like $2,-
500,000,O00 Truly an imposing array
Of figures.

are not necessarily adapted to the

BY the persistent and persevering
use Of every device for publicity the
catalogue houses have built up their
present enormous trade. It Is not rea-
sonable to suppose they can be dis
lodged from the position they occupy.

pointed out, that threatens the we'll

to expect 1t will come to you un-

to sell them His proceeding was
simple. Through publicity, which In
his case simply meant attractive and
truthful advertising, he brought the
