New Workers Pikers.

As to homes, the ancients made
the New York millionaires look like
"pikers." Prof. Cobern says he has
read in manuscripts dug from an
cient tombs and houses of a Roman
who spent $12,OOO,OOO upon decora-
tions for his house Another pluto
crat spent $9O,OOO,OOO in one year,
Even Nero was no slouch when it
came to burning money" On one
occasion he spent $175,000 for roses
on his banquet tables. The roses
were brought from Egypt.
Prof Cobern's last explorations
were at Abydos, Egypt, where he
worked with DR.. w. NJ. Flinders
Petrie, the greatest Psychologist in
the world However, his most inter
esting explorations were in southern
Palestine, where he unearthed the
great amount of Hebrew inscriptions
centuries older than any hitherto
behe,d by modern man.

OUR NEW IDEAS ARE
ALL AGED STUFF

Philadelphia, Pa, April THE pal
ace Of Nero had three elevators.
In the year A. D., an income tax
was established in Rome on all in
comes in excess of $4,000.
The hobble skirt was one of Dame
Fashions DEGREES in the days of Mo
ses.
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 Prof Camden NJ. Cobern, explorer
and archaeologst, who has just re-
turned from a trip to Palestine. lie
began a series of lectures upon his
archaeological discoveries today in
the Arch street Methodist Episcopal
church.
Shorthand in Biblical Times.
Prof. Cobern pointed out that the
Jews had three different systems OF
shorthand reporting in the first cen
tury and that in every Jewish court
shorthand reporter or clerk sat on
each side of the judge. Many OF
the Roman artistocrats took stenogra-
piers with them upon their travels.
Some of the other advantages en-
ioyed by the ancients, according to
Prof Cobern, follow:
In st. Pauls time there were sew
enteen labor unions in Rome, hence a
struggle between capital and laboi
must have been waged even then
There were several great monopo
lies in the first century the creates
of all being the oil business although
no mention of Rockefeller appears on
the papyrus examined by the Amer
can scholar. The trust" had not
cornered kerosene, which was un-
known at that period but dealt in
olive oil and the like.
There also were monopolies in eggs
perfumes and bricks.
