The right hand grasps a pointed reed, with which the child dabs little wedge-shaped marks on the clay. The clay and the reed are their pencil and paper, and they | are learning to write. We are in a| Babylonian schoolroom, many thou- ! sands of years ago--perhaps hetore | Abraham left this very region with | his flocks and herds for distant Pal- estine., The newly risen run of civil- zation is casting its frst rays on the fertile lands of lower Mesopotamia, watered by the great rivers Tigris and Euphrates. The children bend to their task. Now and then they will glance up at the "blackboard"'--which is neither black nor a board, but a large clay tablet baked in the oven until it has become a hard brick. On that tablet the writing exercise has been traced in the same queer, wedge-shaped characters, done larger, so they can be easily read by the children. The exercise consists of wise maxims, such as: "He who would excel in the school of the scribes must rise like the dawn." We know this, because modern scientists, digging among the ruins of ancient Babylonian cities, have discovered some of these old, old "copy-books," which being baked brick, have been preserved through the ages. The brick tablet stands on a raised platform. And near it the school- master sits in a comfortable chair. He is a stout, thick-set man, with straight nose, wide nostrils, and square face, which, like his round head, is clean-shaven. Most of his pupils are of the same type, though some have hooked noses and look much like modern Arabs or Jews. The ancient Babylonians were a mixed stock, made up of a very old race, the Sumerians, mingled with Semitic blood which had come in from time to time. The children's task is not easy, for Babylonian writing is very compli- cated. There are a great many of those wedge-shaped characters, which look much alike and thus have to be all learned by heart........ These boys and girls try hard to do their best Their parents have emphasized the importance of learning to read and write. The Babylonians set great store by education. Even the poorest among the respect learning........ These boys and girls also know that they will need education in their business when they are grown up. The Babylonians are great business ipeople. They are keen traders, and levery important transaction, form the sal eof a piece of land to the pur- chase of any valuable article, must be recorded on a clay tablet and personal seals. This applies to women as well as to men. The Babylonian boy or girl who cannot read and write will not get far ir. the world. Therefore, Babylonian children be- gin their schooldays at the age of six, and are usually eager to learn. The school we are now visiting is for the younger boys and girls; it is what we should call a primary school. The room itself is done in light-colored plaster, laid over walls of sun-dried bricks, with a ceiling of palm-tree trunks chinked with clay. It is lighted by narrow openings high up near the ceiling, to insure a good circulation .,The noon hour arrives. Laughing and chattering, the boys and girls troop homeward, pausing to peer into the little boothlike shops where mer- chants and craftsmen ply their trades or watching the busy street traffic-- especially the heavily laden donkeys and the strings of dignified camels.-- Lothrop Stoddard, in "The Story of XS The Pendolom Clock A pendulum clock gained, owing to the increase of gravity with latitude, about one minute and twenty seconds a day when taken from Ottawa tc the mouth of Mackenzie river, Northwest Territories, by the Dominion Observa- tory, in connection with its gravity work.

Agents --Satisfaction, rm -During Department of Health The Fly is a- Menace to Health Summer, with the holiday pleas- ures which it brings, is often marred by that pest of health and comfort-- the fly. The presence of flies around any dwelling means that there has been carelessness on somebody's part. A few necessary precautions taken in time is all that is necessary to prevent the annoyance and dan- gers to health which can be safely attribtuted to this pest. Types_of Fly The flies which bother us around the house and at summer resorts are of two main types--the house fly and the blow fly; the latter are larger than the house fly and have bright, metallic bodies and make consider- able noise when flying. The stable fly is generally found around cattle and horses; in appearance it resem- bles the house fly, but has oe dis- tinguishing feature--it bites and sucks blood and is especially active before storms. Control of the Fly Pest When we study the life cycle and habits of flies, we know beyond all doubt that to be effective, the work we do to destroy them must be aim- ed at the distribution point, viz., the breeding grounds. There are sev- eral methods of attack: Use of Larvicides (a) Chloride of Lime applied in lay- ers of about 14 inch thick on the fresh exposed contents of outdoor privies every four or five days is an effective, cheap agent for destroying the larvae of the blow fly which beeds chiefly in outdoor privies. (b) Crude Coal Tar Distillate-- proves a most effective method in the control of the house fly breeding in stable manure, garbage piles, etc. A sutisfactory strenzth is a three or four per cent. solution; this is sprinkled on the edges of the piles wherever the larvae appear. The action is rapid and the results very marked. The blow fly (blue bottle and green blow fly) breed also in' garbage, de- caying vegetable matter and pig manure. Sprinkle crude coal tar dis- tillate (four per cent. solution) over the infested areas. Crude coal tar distillate may be secured from your druggist. Supplementary Methods (a) Trap--the czons-shaped type is best; it is so built that the fly after teing attracted hy bait placed under neath passes throttn a small oper: ing in the top of the cone into the trap proper. (b) Screens--wire of twenty meshes to the inch is necessary to keep out house flies. (c) Poisoning--a cheap and effec- tive poison may be made in the home by adding to a pint mixture of milk and water three (3) teaspoonfuls of formaldchyde. This may be poured on pieces of bread placed in shallow saucers. Place safely out of reach of young children. Kitchen garbage should be tightly wrapped in paper or kept in fly-proot cans. °, x2 Runaway Horse Obeys Traffic Light; Many Motorists Do Not A wooden horse played no small part in the fall of Troy. A milk wa- gon steed helped write history in Stamford, Conn, Here's the story--and the good folk of Stamford are going to stick to it. the wee, small hours this particular horse decided to run away. The streets were wide and deserted and the going was fine for a block or so, during which time a lot of milk was delivered promiscuously. "Then came a Stamford intersec- tion, and as old Dobbin thundered down upon it, the green light chang- ed to red. The noble charger dug his cleats into the pavement and stopped dead in his tracks, thereby sualifying him- self as a law-abiding plug. The Na- tional Safety Council points out this little i.cident as an evidence of horse sense--often needed by care- less drivers. 3 mms +f Minard's Liniment for Summer Colds 2, x2 Failure Failure is only postponed success so long as couragz "coaches" ambition.
