PUNCH REACHES,

This is the seventy y-eighth birthday of Punch" and the multitude of ad- mirers of the internationally famous London publication will receive the customary good wishes from its thousands of friends. In the three quarters of d century of it's existence, Punch has enlisted the services of many of the foremost wits of Grea- Britain. The first issue of the ia . nous satirical weekly appeared on July IT, 1S41, under the editorial direction of Mark Lemon, who had as his assistants in the venture, Gilbert a a'Beckett, Douglas Jerold, and Hen ry Mayhew. Thackeray and other eminent writers contributed to the pages of the youthful publication, and the art of caricature received great impetus. The first edition of Punch consisted of 5000 copies, and the founders were greatly elated
 when the entire output was disposed of and another edition of 5, ,o60 copies became necessary to supply the de- mand A sale of 10000 copies of the first number of a. threepenny publication was considered a great journalistic achievement in these days The first cover design and the first cartoons of Punch" were drawn by Archibald Henning. 'mereN ID leok at whose jovial phiz was a cure for melancholy, and as the Scotch say, a sight to cure saiF een'." Mark Lemon, the first editor, had more to do than any other one man with the permanent establishment of Punch as a British journalistic institution. He was a dramatist and novelist, as we'll as journalist. Lemon occu- pied the editorial chair for nearly 29 years, his connection ceasing only
 with his death in 1870. Shirley Brooks, his successor, diSd four years later, and Tom Taylor was editor keana l2zA ta 1a2a. Then caxaa Sir

 The widespread prevalence of the liquor traffic in ancient times is strik-
 ingly emphasized by a hugo Inscribed monument in the kingdom of Elan, an
 ancient state so powerful that 1t won back it's independence after being con l quered by the Babylonians. Here
 among many laws of the 23d century B. C., several centuries before Moses gave his code to his people, Is one that reads, 'If riotous persons assemble in ths house of a wine merchant, and Noah In His Vineyard.

 Several inscriptions have also been found in the ruins of Nineveh that give lists of wines in vogue among the Assyrians. One of these has list of 10 different wines that were supplied for the royal table of Assur-bani-pal. Other lists give an even greater va riety.
 Tho Assyrians evidently knew a great deal about alcohol. Not only did they mako wine from grapes, but they also distilled it from dates aud from the sap of the palm-oil tree. Accord ing to one authority, the Bahylonians had advanced so far in civilization, or perhaps one should term 1t decadence, that they had a mixed drink that seems to have rivalled the modem absinthe

Favorable geographic conditions made Egypt the seat of the first great civilization and the same cause was responsible for the rise of Babylonia and Assyria. And like the ancient Egyptians. the Babylonians and Assy- stans experimented with alcohol.
 The picture reproduced above shows three guests at an Assyrian feast marching up to a large vessel to fill their wine cups. The man comin g last in line carries Q skin, an evidence 6 presumably not of greater thirst but of the primitive ways from which the As syrians had recently emerged.

MRS, CILLICAN'S TRIALS COST THE
 STATE S52,O00

Hartford, July 17-It has cost the state more than s52,000 to send Mrs. Amy E. Archer Gilligan to prieon for life, admittedly guilty of murder in the second degree for administering arsenic poison to an inmate of the Archer Home for Elderly People in Windsor.
 Mrs. Gilligan was arrested in May, 1916. and the criminal costs of her indictment and first trial in June, 1917, were S25,171; her appeal from conviction to the Supreme Court cost the state s2,652, as the state paid $1,- 401 for printing the record and $1,- 200 to Josiah H. Peck for arguing the appeal in Mrs. Gilligan's interest. Aside from these costs there was the expense of the first Gilligan jury, about s1,5O0, and S1,000 more at least for stenographers' work.
 The trial in Middletown last month resulted in criminal costs of $20,444, with an additional jury cost of ap- proximately s1,ooO, and $700 for stenographers' work.
 Medical men were the one big ex- pense of the GilNgan trials. Dr. Victor c. Vaughan of Ann Arbor. Mich, poison expert, got $12,105 for both trials, all but, $2,o00 of the amount being chargeable to the first case. Dr. Arthur J. Wolff of Hart ford. another poison expert. received $10.300 for both trials. his fee In the second one being s2,oO0, the same as Dr. Vaughans.
 Alienists also received large sums from the state. pr. Max Mailhouse of New Haven. was paid $1,261.
 Dr. Allen R. Diefendorf of New Haven, one of the insanity experts for the defense, was paid $750 by the state as Mrs. Gilligan's funds were exhausttd by the state, -

The &C., cident, believed to have been caused by a defective block signal, occurred on sharp curve. The cars, which were running at high rate of speed. were partly telescoped in the crash, but their steel construction probably prevented a larger loss of life.

 More than 4,000 years ago alcohol was thus giving trouble to the author ities. The inscription gives us the curious information that the wine mer- chant of that time was usually a wom- an. There must have been many scenes of revelry and dissipation in Susa, the capital of ancient Elam, to cause so drastic a penalty to be ex- acted for merely countenancing disor- der. It seems a safe inference that the gilded youth of Susa were very much given to indulging too recklessly in drinking and that their unseenly be- havior had become a scandal in the eyes of those tntrusted to presery \ law and order
