A Bank of the Year 600 B. C.


 The very earliest banking firm of which there is any record was that of Egibi & Sons. an institution which car ried on advance. exchange and general financial business in Babylon in the year 600 B. c. Knowledge of this firm Is obtained from certain records on clay tablets which have been found in recent exea pations made by a party of English and French archaeologists near the site of the ancient city above mentioned. Bills of credit. drafts, etc., in the form of small burnt clay tablets. each bearing the characteristic sigma. ture of Egibf & Sons. have been found in many other parts of Asia Minor. and 1t is believed that close study will prove that some of the clay tablets found in tombs and pyramids in Egypt will finally prove to be Egibi ''nego- tiable notes."

Make N Proof Against DraFts and
 Colds h the Head.
 "when I was boy" said a doctor, "I didn't believe in drafts, thought that they who imputed colds to drafts were cranks. But one November night at a concert I felt all the even- ing a strong draft on the back of my neck. It was so strong 1t resembled a suction pump. Now said l to my self, we'll see if this draft will give yours truly cOld.'"
 He shuddered.
 "For a week." he said, "I was laid up with so vile a cold that couldn't breathe save with my mouth open. And now I am satisfied that nine out of every ten colds are solely due to a draft on the back of the neck.
 "I know how to prevent such colds. Hence I may practically say that l know how to prevent all colds. It is Q fact that none of my patients, thanks to my method, know what a cold is.
 '"They learn from me to do this-to bathe the back of the necF every morning in cold water. Thus the spot becomes hardened It becomes draft proof.
 "And when a new patient, peculiarly sensitive to colds, visits me, my pecul- far treatment is to blow on the back of his neck with bellows for several days in succession. The bellows, in conjunction with the icy douche, frees him from all future susceptibility. Thenceforth his winters pass without that horrid winter pest a bad cold."- New Orleans Times-Democrat

 There is no constitution SO strong but it will ultimately euecumb to the constant racking and twisting of the nerve centers caused by an uncon. trolled temper. Every time you be. come angry you reverse all Of the nor. nal mental and physical processes. Everything in you rebels against pas. sion storms; every mental faculty pro. tests against their abuse,

Curious Marriage Customs.

Wedding customs in Servia, that lit tie kingdom in Europe. are curious in deed from an American standpoint For instance, neither the bride nor the bridegroom is the most important fig ure in a Servian wedding, but the best man takes the leading part. He care fully guards the bride all the day be fore the wedding takes place, and sIeeps outside her chamber the night before the girl is to be married. He wears a big stiff sash made of heavy silk, carries a big white staff and a huge bouquet all for himself. There are no bridesmaids, but two god fathers, each of whom presents to the bride a silk dress. After the priest has performed the ceremony the best man takes the bride around the church and she kisses all her girl friends good by and is finally carried off to the bridegroom, who at last gets his wife from the hands of the best man. Then the happy couple return to their in- tended home. Bridal tours are foreign to Servian ideas and only the very rich or the nobility indulge In them

ssv.d bxa photoarsvh.

A very remarkable incident occurred at Rio de Janeiro.
 A passenger on board one of the large liners took a photograph of the harbor. It included a small yacht which had sailed in the morning with two men in her, but returned in the evening with one only. The survivor said his companion had fallen over board, but his statement was not be- ieved. He was tried and sentenced to death. The matter had by this time come to the ears of the photographer, who remembered that the picture had been taken on the day of the ''crime" tor accident and that the scene em- braced a yacht. On examining the print more carefully he noticed a small speck on the sail and in order to de- termine what it was had an enlarge ment made. It proved to be the figure of Q man falling. It was shown to the authorities at once. and the condemned man was released.

 Because your case is 8 difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound trial It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as in- hammation, alteration, displacements, fbroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-do feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner- vous prostration. It costs but a trifle to try it, and the result is worth mil lions to many suffering women.

Too Much Quiet.

On one occasion the hustling and energetic archbishop of York, Dr. Maclagan, wrote to the vicar in an outlying village suggesting that he should lend his church for the purpose of giving the clergy of the district 8 "quiet day" for meditation and frater- nal reunion. The witty vicar of this sleepy hamlet in the wolds promptly replied:
 My Dear Lord Archbishop-Your very kind letter to hand. But what the people In this village want most in their spiritual life Is not a 'Quiet day" but an earth quake.
