Nothing New Under the Sun.

The Palace of Nero had three elevators.
In the year 6 A. d. an income tax was
established in Rene on all incomes in eX-
cess Of $4,000.
The hobble skirt was one OF Dame
Fashions DEGREES in the days OF Moses.
These and many other interesting facts
going to show that life among the ancients
was not so different from that OF today
were brought out by Prot. Camden M.
Cobern, explorer and archaeologist, who
has just returned from trip TO Palestine.
Professor Cobern began series Of
lectures upon his archaeological discover
les last week in Arch Street Methodist
Episcopal Church, Philadelphia. He
pointed out that the Jews had three sys-
TENS of shorthand reporting in the first
century and that in every Jewish court a
shorthand reporter or clerk sat on each
side OF the Judge. Many of the Roman
aristocrats took "stenographers" with
them upon their travels.
Some of the other advantages enjoyed
by the ancients, according TO Professor
Cobern, follow:
"ln ST. Paul's time there were 70 labor
unions in Rome. Hence struggle be-
tween capital and labor must have been
waged even then.
"There were several great monopolies
in the first century, the greatest OF all be-
ing the oil business, although no mention
of Rockefeller appears on the papyrus
examined by the American scholar. The
trust" had not cornered kerosene,which
was unknown at that period, but dealt in
olive oil. There also were mouopolies
in eggs, perfumes and bricks.
AS 10 homes, the ancients made the
New York millionaires look like "pikers." "
Professor Cobern says he has read in
manuscripts dug from ancient tombs and
houses Of a Roman who spent Sl2,0OO,-
600 upon decorations for his house.
Another plntocrat spent $4,000. 900 in
one year. Even Nero was no "slouch"
when il came TO burning money" On
one occasion he spent Sl75,OOO for roses
on his banquet tables. The roses were
brought from Egypt.

The reason Vinol is 80 successful In

CONSUMPTION TAKES
$50 PEOPLE DAILY

Over $50 people succumb to con-
sumption every day in the United States.
Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, confining
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point out that
during changing seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by tax
ing Scott's Emulsion after meals. The cod
liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warns the
body by enriching the blood; 1t peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while it
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.
If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or nervous, Scott's Emulsion is the
most strengthening food-medicine known.
1t is totally free from alcohol or any
stupefying drug Avoid substitutes.

Launching A BsttIeship A Risky Job.


When the pennsylvania" the bigges,
warshlp ever built in America, slid oil the
ways at Newport News on March 10 and
foated safely in The waters OF the James
River, the huge craft passed successfully
through the most critical stage OF its con-
struction-the launching. In an illustra-
ted article appearing in the May number
ofPopular Mechanics Magazine, J. Crosby
Mccarthy says:
ITO slide steel structure as big as a
3O-story office building downhill into the
water and have It arrive right side up
without damage is big job, even in these
days Of big achievements. The builders
OF the Pennsylvania risked nearly ST.
100000 worth Of material and labor when
the launching triggers were released.
The outcome depended on the correct
ness of calculations made before the big
fighting ships keel was laid on the blocks,
for before the first construction work on
a ship is begun the preparations TOR its
launching must be started. II is compar-
atively easy TO build a ship on land. but
10 get # into the water is another matter,
as Robinson Crusoe discovered after
working seven years TO construct boat
which, when finished, proved so big that
he could not launch il. After the Great
Eastern. for 43 years the largest ship in
the world, was built in 1853, it took three
months 10 get il ailoat.
"The larger the vessel, the more tick
Iish is the Job of sliding it safely into the
water. Although years Of experience
and careful study have reduced the meth
ods used to a standard practice, yet there
is always degree Of uncertainty about
the operation. In spite OF The nayY's re-
cord of an unbroken series Of successful
Iaunchings. those responsible for each
succeeding one experience considerable
anxiety until the crisis Is safely past.
Eveu though every known precsutIon has
been taken, there is always the chance
that some unknown factor may ruin the
plan and wreck the ship"

Billy Sundays Ten Commandments,

Thou Shalt Not Gossip.
There are three ways to spread the
7ews-telephone, telegraph and tell-a-
woman. The devil is so afraid of some
OF you women he wouldn't get within
twenty feet of you.
2-Thou Shalt Not Covet.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours
cook, nor his automobile, nor his rabber-
tired carriage. nor his private yacht.
Many man would like to have his neigh
boris wife. You LET her alone.
3-Thou Shalt Not Tango.
I'm against that rotten. licentious, hell
begotten dance that sends more girls to
hell than anything else. I'm in favor of
everything the devil is against, and I'm
against everything the devil is in favor OF.
4-Thou Shalt Not Be Stingy.
Some would-be christians are so Stingy
that they would steal flies from a blind
spider. There are others so mean that
they sing through their noses to save
wear and tear on their false teeth.
5-Thou Shalt Not Have Too Many BeauX.
It's hard TO fool a real suitor, and a
man doesn't want TO marry girl that's
been paved over by every young buck
in the community. The frizzle-headed
girl that sits up in dark parlor until all
hours of the morning with one buck after
another is on the way TO perdition.
6-Thou Shalt Not BE Conceited.
A conceited man is like cheap-skate
restaurant where everything is in the
window and nothing on the table but hot
air. Self coneeit will always be a mill
stone around your neck.
Thou Shalt Not Drink.
The man who says he can drink and
LEI II alone, lies. No man ever intended
TO become drunkard. Every dninkard
started out to be simply a moderate drink
er. II you believe you can leave II alone,
why don't you?
S-Thou Shalt Not Cuss.
One of the things that show the toun-
dation OF mans character TO be rotten
is to hear him cuss and vomit out oaihs.
would not trust a profane man any too
far in any transaction.
9-Thou Shalt Not Dodge Thy Debts.
Some haven't religion enough TO pay
their debts. Would that ! might have q
hook and for every debt that you left un-
paid might jerk off piece OF clothing.
If did, some OF you would be left with
only a celluloid collar and pair OF socks.

in the first six months, according TO fig
ureS prepared for the Avanti, socialist
newspaper in Rome, by its military ex-
pert. The article declares the only result OF
the war will be reciprocal wearing out
OF the forces engaged, and not military
victory. II is calculated that niue or ten
months more will exhaustive reserves Of
men, and that the country which will SUI
fer least from this exhaustion will be
Russia. A loss equal TO that OF the Euro

very picturesque, especially if she be OF

pends loose white drapery. Turkish
