OLDEST OF ALL scHooLBooKs
NIppur Tablets at University Of Penn
syIvanIa Undoubtedly Have That
Claim to Distinction.

Professor Langdon of Oxford.
England, who is spending some time
at the University of Pennsylvania,
has discovered that one group of the
famous Nippur tablets stored at the
university are in reality me oldest
schoolbooks known to exist. They
show that the children of the an
clients learned much that the boys
and girls Of today have to study. Ac-
cording to these tablets the children
Of 5000 years ago were taught arith-
metic, geography, history and gram
mar just like the children of today.
The multiplication tables are re-
markedly distinct, and in plain nu-
merals show the incontrovertible
fact that three times one are three
and five times one are five. On one
tablet the schoolboy has been given
a lesson in phonetic signs CORE
spending to the shorthand of mod
ern times. The Summerians, the
authors of these tablets at the Penn
sylvania university, also invented
the use Of writing syllables and COM
bining them into words, being the |
first step toward the alphabet.-The
Christian Herald.

THEFTS IN ITALIAN HOTELS
Keepers Are Working for Bill to Limit
Their Liability for Losses
Incurred.

Owing to the growing frequency
Of big thefts Of property belonging
to foreign tourists while staying at
Italian hotels and the consequent
grievous burdens incurred by the
management, the italian Hotel
Keepers association has now sue
ceeded in getting bill presented to
parliament limiting their liability to
a maximum of $500 ON all losses of
precious articles unconsigned to the
managers Office.
At present there is no legal limit
to the indemnity which restaurant
or hotel proprietors may have to pay
in cases of guests belongings being
damaged or stolen, either by mem
bers of the staff or other persons res
ident in the hotel.
In fact, where Italian hotel keep
ers have been unable to prove that
the losses were due to causes over
which they had no control, or that
the robberies were perpetrated by
armed force or directly attributable
to gross neglect on the part of own
ers, they have been condemned by
the courts to pay as much as $40, 900.

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-09-05
IN SOME parts of this country the

TN SOME parts of this country the
/ pretty custom Of serving guests
with light refreshments at five o'clock
tea, or on other informal occasions
has always been taken care of by the
daughters or young women Of the
household. This intimate method of
service is almost a universal fashion
and it is to be hoped will become one
Of our established customs.
All sorts Of airy and dainty aprons
made purely for decoration and sug-
gestion have been designed for the
wear Of the charming servitors. For
these aprons the lightest and sheerest
of fabrics are chosen, ranging from
fine nets. through swisses and organ
dies to lowered lawns, dimities and
all similar fabrics. The fine wash
laces and satin ribbons are used for
decorating. The narrow lace bead
ings. sewed in patterns, Stimulating
bow-knots Of ribbon, fower-forms or
graceful scrolls, are machine stitched
to the fabric. This beading serves to
carry baby ribbon and to provide q
decoration in keeping with any color
scheme. Narrow insertions and frills
Of lace are used in any way the fancy
Of the maker may dictate. The re.
suit Is that there Is no end to the
variations Of these little decorative
accessories.
Aprons Of this kind are all small
and cut in graceful and fanciful
shapes. Just now q neart-shaped
apron Ia much in vogue. Sometimes 1t
is developed with a little heart-shaped
bib attached. Ribbon decorations are
nearly always In q color.
Two illustrations are given here
showing the latest fancies Of the
apron makers. One Of them Is an apron
of plain white net trimmed with bands
of organdie in white or any desired
color. Such an apron is prettily de-
veloped in nght-colored nets and
trimmed with ribbon. 1t may be pro-
vided with a pocket and further en-
bellished with little ribbon bows.

trimmed with marrow lace 70 shown
