GREATEST OF LETTER-WRITERs

While letter-writing in a somewhat
crude and cumbersome form was prac-
ticed among the ancient Greek writ
ers, there are, strangely enough, no
existing examples of the epistolary
correspondence of Socrates and Keno
phon, of Plato and Pythagoras. But
of the correspondence between Cicero,
the greatest and perhaps the most at
tractive of all letter-writers, and his
friend Atticus, there are 500 examples,
all of which, in the purity and beauty
of their original form or in the many
,translations, may be read by anyone
who visits any large public library.
The only other extant letters of the
Roman period are those of Pliny and
Seneca, all prolix, heavy and unutter-
ably tedious.

EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION.

The first pavements in Paris were
laid about the year 1900; in London,
about 1417. Berlin was without pave

tury. No houses had glass windows
before the twelfth century, and as late
as the fourteenth century anything
might be thrown out of the windows
of Paris and London after three times
calling out, Look OUT" Shirts were
not known until the time of the cru
saders, and the fine clothes which Ia
dies and gentlemen wore were seldom
washed and only occasionally scent
ed" So late as 1850 there were to be
found in Paris but three carriages,
while in England coaches date from
1880.

RICE AN ANCIENT CEREAL.

The culture of rice is alluded to in
the Talmud, and there is evidence that
it was grown in the valley of the Eu-
pirates and in Syria before A B. c.
1t was taken into Persia from India,
and later into Spain by the Arabs.
Thence it's culture was introduced into
Italy about 1853 A. D. The Spaniards
are also responsible for its introduc-
ton into Peru and other sections of
Spanish-America during the early
colonial period, but the exact date has
not been definitely determined. The
first introduction of rice culture in the
Americas seems really to have been
in Brazil.

STANDARD BARRELS.

There is no standard barrel measure
for the whole United States except
for apples. Al act of congress, in
force since July 1, 1913, says: THE
standard barrel for apples shall be:
Length of stave, 281s inches;, dame
ter of head, IL 1-3 inches; distance
between heads, 26 inches; circumfer-
ence of bulge, Ga inches, outside meas
urement, representing as nearly as
possible 1866 cubic inches" When
this bill was under discussion in con-
gress it was opposed by the advocates
of state rights on the ground that in
dividual states should describe their
own standard barrel. Most of the
states prescribe that barrel of
-four shall contain 1876 pounds, bar
rel of beef or pork 2O6 pounds.

WARNING TO GIRLS ANSWERING
WANT ADS"

The want" column of the city press
fills useful place, but, like many
other good things, it can be harm
full agent when used in the wrong
way. Even the most reputable paper
cannot keep out of its want" pages
all undesirable advertisements. The
Youths Companion" recently uttered
a warning that we trust will be needed
by the special class for whom it was
intended. 1t is especially timely now
when so many girls will be leaving
school and planning to enter business.
Said the writer:
The way in which many girls in
search of employment approach the
want column in the daily paper is
pathetic. They look upon it as bar
gain counter, friendly adviser, GEN
erous philanthropist, and opulent
benefactor, all in one. CHANGING down
the page they feel sure that some

THREE METHODS OF DERlsloN

There are very few illusions to
storks in Latin authors. but one of
these is interesting. The birds have a
curious custom of swapping their bills,
making quite a sharp noise. Young
and old birds, both during and after
the breeding season, constantly do
this. In the writings of Persius there
is reference to this habit. There
are he says, three favorite ways
of deriding manly putting the
hands beside the head like asses ears,
by putting out the tongue like dog,
and by swapping the fingers against the
palm of the hand like stork's BILL"
The first two methods of mockery are
plain, but what the cause Of the last
way is puzzle.

WHY i LOVE MY DOLLY.

Come, tell me, dolly, if you know
What makes dear mother love you SO?
Is it because you're very fair,
And have such pretty golden hair?
Or just because you always do
Whatever mother wants you to;
And grow more loving ev'ry day
And try to never disobey?
AS dollies cannot talk much yet,
I'll tell you why love my pet.
Well, yes, your goodness does, I'm
sure,
Make mother love you all the more;
But that is not the reason true
Which makes me care so much for
you;
love you for this fact alone
Because you are my very own!

For Colds and Grippe
Follow Doctors
Advice

Ask any physician or druggist and he
will tell you that the first step In
the treatment of a cold, cough, influ-
enza or grippe should invariably be

Calotabs.' This alone Is often suf'
fcient to break up severe cold over
night, or cut short an attack of grippe
and possibly prevent pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow Of water,-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor hi
slightest interference with your eat
ing, pleasures or work. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished and you
entire system is purified and re
freshed. Calotabs are sold only II
