EGIDU OF NINEvEH.
The Most Ancient Banking House Of
Which We Have Record,


Which We Have Record.
There was q kind of public record
Office attached to the palace and tenn
pie at Nineveh, in which it was Gus
tomary to deposit important legal and
other documents, such as contracts
and agreements for the purchase and
sale Of property, marriage settlements,
wills, etc. Among these there were
discovered official statements as to the
history and transactions Of the emf
nent banking house of Egidu ut Nine
veh. Assyrian chronology proves that
these refer to date about $500 years
before the Christian era, when Abra-
ham dwelt at Ur of the Chaldees, as is
stated in Genesis. We may therefore
claim for this firm the reputation Of
being the oldest bank in the world at
least Of which we have any record or
are likely to have. The accounts are
very voluminous and cover the trans
actions of five generations of the house
from father to son. The firm grew rap
idly in Importance during this period,
during which they attained great
wealth, for they succeeded in securing
from the king the appointment of col
lectors Of taxes, position which in
the east always leads to fortune. They
afterward farmed the revenue for sew
eral of the Assyrian provinces with
very great gain to the firm.--T. P.'s

IAN THE GAME OUT.

"Some years ago." said sporting
man, when Wizard Jake Schaefer
kept a billiard room in New York city.
he was always ready to play all COM
ers who desired game. Many
strangers and people unknown to
schaefer naturally strolled in-many,
too, who probably did not know him.
But 1t made no difference to Schaefer.
Sometimes strangers would desire to
play for money. but this Schaefer
would never do. To all such propo-
sitions he would say. No. won't
play for money, but I'll tell you what
I will dol will play game, the loser
to treat the house.
zone day an old farmer entered the
place, and after wandering about look
ing at the pictures on the walls and
examining the tables he asked If there
was any one present who would like
to play him game of billiards.
Schaefer, as usual, said that he would
play the stranger.
GLOW much shall we play for?
asked the farmer.
"1 never play for money replied
schaefer, but l will play you for the
drinks for the house.
"'All right said the farmer. How
many points shall we play?'
"'Oh,' replied Schaefer demurely in
all the consciousness of his superior
powers, we'll just play until you are
satisfied, and we will call that a
game
prepared for the contest. The balls
were placed on the table, and Schaefer
brought out his favorite cue, and it
fell to his lot to open the game.
1.-The opening shot in Il billiard game
is somewhat difficult one, as most
players know. and Schaefer, probably
through Indifference, missed it. de
not only missed it, but left the balls
close together near one of the cush-
ions. 1t was what is termed in bill
lizard parlance a set up
1.-THE old farmer carefully chalked
his cue and after deliberation made
the shot. He then gazed at the balls
moment, laid down his cue and ex-
claimed:
81 am satisfied
"The score was then 1 to 0 in favor
Of the old farmer. but as Schaefer
had agreed to make the game as long
or short as the farmer desired he had
to be satisfied. Schaefer of course
had to invite all present. including his
conqueror. to partake Of the hospital
ity of the house AS the crowd laughed
and drank Schaefer remarked that the
game was the shortest he had ever
played and probably the shortest on
record"

Pliny's yarns about human anatomy
were something wonderful. He tells
of race of savage men whose feet
are turned backward and Of a race
known as Monocoli, who have only
one leg, but are able to leap with sur
prising agility. The same people are
also called the Sciapodae, because they
are in the habit Of lying on their
backs during the extreme heat and
protecting themselves from the sun by
the shade Of their feet. These people
dwell not far from the Troglodytae, to
