Anclents Get undeserved Credit.

Asphaltum, gathered from the foun'
tain of Is on the banks Of the Flu
pirates, was used in building the walls
Of Babylon. Much of the talk about
the skill Of the ancients and their los:
arts Is all myth. They should be
given full credit for what they did, but
such wallis as those Of Babylon and
such structures as the Pyramids could
be built far more easily and quickly
It the present time. Now, however
people have more important work to
DO. aud greater things to achieve.

All Kinds Of Whiskers.

Whiskers are q variable side issue
The closely trimmed whisker, descend'
ing to the lobe OF the ear on an other
wise clean-shaven face, was long ia

lower down the jaw, the whiskel
changes character and develops into
''mutton chops" that blossom in a

are "Picadilly weepers" Of the Lord
Dundreary kind. This last and the
mutton chop are worn with mus
tache, while John Ball shaves ev

black hair that makes you want, ia
