made,
That a tax ON old bachelors pates should be
laid; -
And In order to make them all willing to
marry,
The tax was as large as man could well
carry.
The bachelors grumbed. and said twas no
use,
Twas horrid injustice and horrid abuse;
And to save their own hearts blood from
spilling.
OF such vile tax, they would not pay
schilling.
A cryer was sent through the town to and

o rattle his bell and trumpet to blow,
And to call out to all whom he might meet in
his way,
Hey! forty old bachelors sold here todayI
Then forty old aidens some fai' pink, red

Photograph That Calls Police.

A Photographic device that will call
the police by telephone adds a new
hazard to the ever-increasing dangers
of the burglars profession, says the
Technical World. When an attempt Is
made to force window or door with
which the proper connections have
been made, an electric current oper-
ates a photograph In the garnet. The
machine calls up central and asks for
the police station. The photograph
then informs the officers of the rob-
berry, giving street and number, and
repeats this information as long as
the receiver is down. Meantime the
intruder, all unconscious that an
alarm has been rung in, virtually
walks into trap, and II the call is

COINS among the 1000 objects taken
out at the artemisium are attributed
to dates between 700 and 600 years
before Christ, antedating the time OF
Croesus. Some Of them are Of still
remoter periods, and are believed to
be older than any other coins known
to be in existence. Among the most
interesting discoveries are rude terra
