It is difficult to Judge which was the more
predominant characteristic of the Babylonians,
their trading instinct their reverence for
their gods for both are equally marked. They
had intercourse by means of trade with Elan
on the east, Syria the west, and many other
places the north and south. Slavery was
common, and contracts concerning the buying
selling and hiring of slaves are frequently met
with.

Killing Fowls.

The French poulterer kills his
fowls by dislocating the neck with
swift back chuck given close to the
head. At once the dressing begins SO
that 1t may be completed before the
body cools. The legs and wings are
tucked close to the body which is
placed breast downward against
board. A moist cloth is spread on
the back which imparts a fine grain
appearance to the flesh. A weight is
applied to secure the required market
fatness and when thoroughly cold the
birds removed, packed carefully and
closely in crates or cases according tc
their destination.

"Garden Tools"

Kipling says that soldier is no
better than his feet, and it ia equally
true that gardener is no better than
his tools. Much muscle, time and
perspiration is being wasted at this
very moment because of the use of i'm
proper tools, or the misuse of the
proper ones for the purpose. Most of
this waste of time is due to lack of
information about tools on the part of
the user, and the misinformed pur-
chaser can secure little intelligent
information from the average hard
ware clerk, as most of them seem to
have been recently promoted from
the ribbon department or the soda
fountain.
1t is much easier to do garden work
with sharp tools. Every stroke Is
clean and true and 1t goes where 1t is
sent with half the effort a dull tool
requires.
The American factory mechanic Is
reputed to spend three times as much
of his time sharpening his tools as do
the European workmen, but he pro-
duces nearly twice as much finished
product thereby. The same principle
applies to the use of garden tools.
Keep them sharp and in good working
order.
A fiat, fine file is mighty handy to
nave about. With it you can sharpen
your hoe, spade, trowel, cultivator
teeth, grass shears and lawn mower.
The file will make an ideal cutting
edge on these tools and this edge
should have a perfectly fiat bevel. at

A Cold Frame for Fall.

1t is really remarkable what results
can be had in the garden long after
the frost comes, by the use of prop
erly built cold frame. The most salts
factory frame we have used is made in
sections, three by six feet-the num-
ber of sections to be used depending
on how much space you want to de-
vote to late plants.
The cold frame is nothing more
than four boards nailed together to
make the sides, and It should slope
slightly toward the south. This Is
then covered with sash, made of light
wood, covered with cloth. Water
proof material may be gotten for this
latter from most of the large seed
stores, and is preferable on account
of its durability.
Success with cold frames in the fall
depends on getting your plant well
started before the frosts come. A
good plan is to build your frame work,
and good size would be six by twelve
feet. This would require four cloth
frames to cover it, and the total eX-
pense should not exceed five dollars
for materials. Inside this inclosure
can be planted any late summer vege-
tables that you want to raise. If the
sun is particularly hot, put the cover
frames on during the middle of the
day, but otherwise just give the plants
the same attention you would II
planted in the spring.
When danger of frost is at hand,
put the cover frames on every night,
taking them off in the morning, but
when the weather gets still colder,
leave these cover frames on all the
time. You will be surprised at the
excellent crop of late vegetables you
will have when all your neighbors'
gardens are desolate.
If you want to have vegetables all
through the winter. you must replace
the cloth frames with glass. about No
vember 1. and by this means some of
the harder plants, like radishes. beets,
string beans and onions. can be had
practically all winter, though it will
probably be well for winter use to
bank your frame all around with fresh
horse manure, which would turn your
cold frame into hot frame.
Among the flowers, violets, pansies,
English daisies and primroses all VIII
grow well during the winter in cold
frame covered with glass.

have to be ground on grindstone or
emery stone, and then resharpened
from time to time with a milestone.
The bevel of the edge must be as
acute as possible on this class of
tools
The best tool for spading up soil Is
not the spade, but the spading fork.
1t penetrates the soil much easier and
pulverizes it more in turning over.
If the spade is preferred, it should
have as fiat blade as possible, to
prevent clogging.
The hoe is the most useful tool in
the small garden and it should have
a large and heavy blade. The addi-
tional width will do more work with
the same number of strokes and the
heavy head does more effective work
because of its added momentum.
A rake is of rather small Importance
after the seed is once planted, but Il
is an excellent and practically IL
dispensable implement for leveling and
pulverizing the seed bed. Use cast,
iron rake of the narrow type. The
wide ones are too hard to handle.

The temple of Esagila the most important

by the German erchaeologists after digging a

sage, a quarter of mile Ions which connected
the steep pyramid of Etomenanh. known in the
Bible as the Tower of Babel, with this temple.
Because of the depth of the debris caused by
the action of the centuries which have veiled
the earth here the entire foundation of the
Tower of Babel has not yet been excavated but
tunnels at the floor level have been bored INFO

established and then the whole edfce was meas

HER PRECAUT|ON
 WAS PRE MATURE
How Mrs. Nunez Pointed the Finger
 of Accusation at Herself.

By trying to forestau suspicion be- fore there was any ground for it, Sc nora Nunez later became the object of suspicion. She had been employed to work at the residence of Dr. A w. Morrill,. the state entomOIogist. After she had been there for some time she sent a note to Dr. Morrill, saving that she did not care to be at the house alone, since if anything should be stolen, she would be suspected.
 It Was not long after this that some thing was missing, set of silver spoons. It does not appear that she was strongly suspected if at ali. Dr. Morrill, brought the matter to tho at tcntiOn of Justice Johnstone and when the latter was told of the note he dc handed the presence of Mrs. Nuncz who admitted the theft of four of the spoons but that was all, she said that she had taken. She begged for 1eni- ency but the court could not believe that she had told the truth and he issued a search warrant which result ed in the finding of the rest of the spoons, a silver dish and a lot of cur tains and other things that had not yet been missed.

A fast practice game of five innings between the Colts and Knights of Co., Iumbus yesterday afternoon resulted in q victory for the former by the small score of i to 3. As the k. C's grow more proficient, they are becoming more and more a sharpening stone for players in the league, and some day will be factors in the business. The game yesterday was not played to it's limit, but was more the slow precise play of q practicing team. The full complement of Colts was not in har- ness, nor was the K. C. team entire But the contest furnished q lot of good work for bith sides and some excite mcnt for the fair crowd that lined the Churchill grounds. The game would have gone 9 innings if it had started before noon. The game would have been a k. C. victory but for poor out field work Pat Hurley was effective on the k. C. mound and Godfrey was hit often and hard.
 Manager Mckinney announces that work will probably start today on the ball grounds south of the main part of the city. He has had some trouble in getting teams, as all the available horses are working in the fields getting in harvests of grain. But Mack should worry.

 M. H. Shelton was the second speaker. His topic was the methods by which the Forum might put it. self upon a business basis. His idea was that such an action will stimu- late racial confidence and prove of great assistance. He called attention to the fact that material strength was the real basis of racial power and the condition that brought about public respect.

COMPETITION IS STRONG FOR
 DAVIS TROPHY
No Other Branch of AthIet- ics Has Witnessed So Many International ChaI- lcngcs as Lawn Tennis Since Cup Was Offered

NEW YORK, June l5.-With the preliminary play in the international contest for the possession of the Davis cup, eInblematic of the worlds lawn tennis championship, completed the results in the final and chalIcngc rounds are being awaited with inter
 est by followers of the court game in all parts of the world. In no other play of international character
 has the effort to win and retain the championship been so frequent and sustained. Since the cup was first donated by Dwight |. Davis for
 worldwide competition, eight coun- tries or colonies have made repeated tries for first honors with the racquet.
 The opening play for the Davis cup was held in 1900. with United
 States and United Kingdom teams competing. The American players retained the trophy during the fol- lowing two years, but in 1903 the ia nous Doherty brothers lifted the prize Nineteen hundred and five witnessed the first real international play, when France, England, Austra- Iasia and the United States all en- tered players, and when the tourna- ments were ended England- still held the trophy Again, in 1906 Australia sia, United States and the United Kingdom were represented, and the challenge round saw the United Kingdom defeating the United States team.
 The next summer America forced Australasia out of the running but lost to England The real upset came Il 19o1, for the Antipodian players eliminated the United States team and by defeating EngIand's best, took the cup Down Under" Both Eng gland and America tried to recover the trophy during the next two years, without success. Nineteen hundred and ten was an off year so far as cup play was concerned. but in 1911 England and the United States made another unsuccessful attempt to Wrest the prize from the island con- tinent. England came back again last summer and succeeded in taking Jhc trophy back to England.
 During this stretch of years thirty eight teams have been entered for cup play, as follows. England tv eNe; United States, ten: Austra- lasia, eight; Belgium, two. France, three; Germany. one; Canada. one; south Africa, one. Tn these matches scventy-eight matches in singles have been played, and seventeen matches in doubles, not counting those during the prcliminaries of the 1913 series.
