Professor Banks, in charge of the
Chicago university Babylonian expedi-
ton, writes in the Scientific American
that bricks were used in Mesopotamia
10000 years ago. The country is a
great alluvial plain and houses had to
be built OF clay. The builders found
that placing chunks Of clay to dry In
the sun rendered building easier and
made the walls more durable; hence
the first bricks, About 1900 b. @. some
Babylonian discovered that bricks
could be burned, and the art gradually
progressed. Six thousand years ago
makers began to stamp their signs on
the bricks, and the royal builders
adopted a series OF marks which en-
ables the era Of buildings to be accu-
rately fixed. Professor Banks found
many bricks in vast edifices stamped

FOR THE CHILDREN
The Bird Times.

There are three little girls living In
small New Jersey town who were
anxious to make some money for chart
ty. Fairs were too commonplace, and
they were bound not to beg, so what
do you suppose they did? They edited
a small blmonthly paper and sold 1t
for 2 cents a copy. This paper is called
the Bird Times and Is very, very cum
ming and amusing. II Is written on
one side OF piece of foOlscap and con-
talns all the very latest news from
bird land, including little JIngIes and
conundrums, every one of which Is en-
tlrely original. One Of the editors Is
quite an artist, so in every edition
there are several little drawings, illus
tratinR different events In bird land,
which greatly improves the Times ap-
pearance.
At present there are about thirty sub
Bcribers, which brings them In 90 cents
every two weeks, which, of course,
amounts to 81 .2O a month.
A dollar and twenty cents isn't
very large sum, but when several
months earnings are put together and
saved 1t amounts to quite good deal,
and these little girls are able to help
lots Of people, to whom a dollar may
mean bread enough for many hungry
little ones.

Harry's Weird Tran.IatIon.

Harry. aged eight years, was directed
by his mother, who was not feeling
well enough to 80 to church. 10 remain
after Sunday school for services, to
listen carefully for the text from which
the minister would preach and repeat
II to her when he returned. This he
faithfully promised, says the Chicago
Tribune. and when the sermon was
ended hurried home and In breath
less way asked his mother 10 get out
her Bible and see how well he had re-
membered the text. The minister had
preached from the text which reads.
"An angel came down from heaven,
took live coal and laid 1t upon the
altar" but this is the way Harry re-
membered and repeated It:
IAN lnjun came down from New
Haven and took live colt by the tail
and jerked II through the halter"

Common Spiders,

Spiders are more varied and plentiful
than Is commonly supposed. In almost
every locality, In the country at least,
800 or 400 species may be collected. In
summer spiders abound on all kinds
OF plants, from grass to trees. 1t Is
only when the webs are covered with
dew that they become especially con-
spicuous The webs are then no more
plentiful, but often hear the question
asked on dewy mornings or foggy
days. "What makes so many more

But tie king lust laughed and said it took

To eat d lunch of deep apple pie
And English jam and cTumpets round
And nuts and candy, dozen pound,
And toast and tea and hot-cross buns
And hard-boiied eggs and sally luns
And cherries ripe and roasted grouse
Which the king had ordered from the house.
They talked OF things both small and great,
Some long forgotten, some up to date;
They laughed at jokes and spilled their tea
And made muss like you or NE.

There's something, grandpa, I wish you'd do. "
