TWENTY HOT-WEATHER DON'TS
FOR DRIVERS.
Don't fail to read this.

1. Don't fail to read this.
2. Don't forget that your horse
helps to earn his living.
3. Don't forget that he will re-
pay you for his cost if you treat him
right.
4. Don't stand him in the sun
when by moving across the street or
around the corner you can find
shade.
5. Don't put the same load on
him when the thermometer is at 80
as you do when it is just above the
freezing point.
6. Don't fail to give him water at
short intervals.
Z. Don't fail to bathe his head
with cold water
8. Don't give him whisky unless
advised by veterinary surgeon.
8. Don't take any yourself.
Whisky heats the blood and much of
the abuses of animals are directly
traceable to intemperance.
10. Don't fail to wash your
horses mouth out.
IL. Don't fail, if he shows signs
of exhaustion, to give him a half
hours rest.
-. Don't fail, if heat exhaustion
continues, to battle his entire body
with water.
13. Don't fail, in extreme cases,
to apply ice to the head and ice wa
ter to the body so as to reduce the
temperature.
IA. Don't lash your horse when
he is doing the best he can.
Is. Don't lash him at any time.
He'll do better if you are kind to
him.
16. Don't swear at him. Pro-
family is offensive and never does any
good.
II. Don't forget that a horse has
feelings like yourself, and can feel
either the lash of your whip or of
your tongue.
Is. Don't forget that he is a
faithful servant if treated properly.
10. Don't hesitate about employ
ing veterinary aid when your horse
shows signs of being sick.
20. Don't take advice from the
man in the crowd who knows it all"
and is always on hand. People who
really know are not very free to Of
fer advice unasked.

about 21O0 to 230O B. G.
Most of the laws, as deciphered, re-

contains the germ from which, per-
haps, sprang all bankrupt laws of the
last 1000 years. No criminal statutes

Ancients' Bankruptcy Law.
DR.. Arno Poebel of the University of
Breslau distinguished oriental
scholar, deciphered the much worn
Babylonish characters. The law re-
ating to bankruptcy says:
'If a man has borrowed grain or
money from the merchant and has
neither grain nor money to pay back,
but he has movable goods, he shall
give whatever he has to the merchant
ng as (words missing the merchant
hall not refuse; he must accept"
Another law, dealing with interest,
ays
"If the merchant lends grain upon
interest he shall take one-fifth of a
ker Of grain for each ker as interest
f he lends money upon interest he
hall take a sixth and six grains of
liver for each shekel as interest"
Interest at 20 Per Cent.
This would have required borrowers
d pay interest at the rate of 20 per

MONUMENT TO ADAM.

This monument erected to the
" memory of Adam, the first man, !"
is the only one of it's kind in Amer
lea, and probably in the world. 1t
was erected in 1900 by Mr.. John P.
Brady, a well-known contractor and
builder, of Baltimore, at his country
place, Hickory Ground" near
Gardenville, in the northeastern su-
burbs of Baltimore, Maryland. 1t is
composed of stone, bronze, and ce-
ment, and is surmounted by very
large and accurate sundial, especial
ly calculated and constructed for the
latitude in which the monument is
erected, N. Lat. 39 degrees, 20 min
utes. Surrounding the hour figures,
in circle on the dial, is the motto,
" Sic Transit Gloria Mundi" $50
Passes the Glory of the World, and
the date, 1909, and on either side
of the shaft is sunken panel with
sunken letters, the two reading:-
"THIS, THE FIRST SHAFT IN
AMERICA, IS ERECTED TO
THE MEMORY OF ADAM,
THE FIRST MAN"
The monument has naturally at
tracted much attention. Mr.. Brady
has stated among other things, in a
newspaper interview, that " where so
many others of lesser worth have
been honored, he thought it about
time that something was done for
