LIKE THE WORLD OF. TODAY s of the Breseni.Day ' Civilization Existed in Babyion — .Raids on Roadhouce Parties Were Common.

The ills of present-day -civilization existed in Babylon. Raids on gay roadhouse parties were common. Wine selling was regulated and the enforcement was put squarely up to the vender. One section of -the penal. code provided, “If a wine merchant has allowed riotous characters:to assemble in her house and those riotous characters (she) has not seized and driven to the palace that wine merchant shall be put to death.” : : A maid might sue for bréach of promise, a landholder had to pay a heavier tax if he did not cultivate his allotment, guardians were provided for estates of widows and orphans. Formal contracts and deeds had to be attested by a notary and in swearing the -person taking the oath raised his right hand. ~ An ofifcial copy of the transaction, on a clay tablet, with the notary's attestation, was deposited in the temple—the courthouse of those days.

There was an excellent reason for paying’ one’s rent promptly in Babylon, for creditors could seize one of the debtor’s household forga hostage and hold him until a satisfactory settlement was made. Interest rates, re: ferred to on clay tablets, were 20 per cent. Instead of a penalty of 10 per cent, as provided in modern notes, if legal steps must be taken to coliect Babyloniun notes provided - for the doubling of the debt. :

ALL BCILERS DON'T EXPLODE

Explosion When Steamer Sinks Is Due . to Water Pouring Into the - Furnaces.

We often read, or hear, of her “boilers blowing up” when a steamer founders. Indulge yoursci in-a smile the next time the expression is' used in your presence. The thing doesn’t happen. : j

A boiler is less likely to burst when surrounded by water and thus receiving pressure Irom the outside than when exposed to the air and subjected to the full force of the internal pressure caused by ths expansion of the steam. - - Pl e .

. What really occursg is that the furnaces are flooded when a steamship sinks, thus causing a sudden rush of steam—call it an explosion of steam—and what this may mean can best be realized by comparison with common or household grate when the kettle boils over. Imagine this.on a gigantic scale, and-‘a conception can be formed of the force exerted and the explosion resulting, although the boilers remain intact.—Cincinnati Enquirer. '

His Depression Was Justified.

He was a sentimental youth who had been suifering for some time with severe lovesickness. One morning, says Sunbeams, he turned up at the office, looking the picture of abject misery, - e ,

“What'’s, tf® matter?” asked his employer. : “I can hardly tell you,” the boy replied unsteadily. “I—l—l have at last proposed — and have been turned down.” - ; et

“Tut-tut,” replied his employer cheerfully, ‘lt will turn out all right in the end. A woman’s ‘no’ often means yes.” ‘ : '

“Perhaps it does,” was the sorrowful reply, “but this woman didn’t say no; she just laughed.”—Youth’s Companion.

Voting With Caps.

The long-armed ungainly Cossacks are a peculiar people living their own lives in their own primitive manner, and adhering tenaciously to their horse breeding and trading and their ancient customs. The word Hetman is a title given to the commander in chief of the Cossacks, annually chosen from among their number. The process of selection offers.a contrast to the accidental custom of figuratively throwing one’s hat in the ring as a slgn of willingness to accept the nomination to ofiice. Among the Cossacks it was the custom while in assembly to throw their fur caps at the candidates for whom they voted, and the one receiving the greatest number was declared elected. i : |

Very Likely.

“I met a bunch of children in the road,” stated a motorist who had halted his car in front of the Lazzenberry home. “They were carrying pieces of noosed rope, wire and the like, and declared they were going to lasso alligators.” il - :

“My children!” ' pridefully replied Lop Lazzenberry of Fiddle Creek, “Smartest bunch of little cusses in seven states!”

“But there are no alligators around here, are there?”’ ‘ “Not as I ever heered of. But if there was they'd shore—p’ tu!—lasso ’em !H | % : %

i Just the Other Way. , A small boy was brought ky his ! father to Washington- and taken to visit congress. : 1’ He was much interested ir. the chaplain, who always op®ned the sessions with prayer. Both in the senate and the house he had obse¢rved this procedure. : /“Finally he .asked: “Papa, why does the minister come In évery day. and pray for congress?”’ : “You've got it all wrong, son,” res plied his father. “The minister comes in every day, looks over congress, and then prays for the country.” : o D / Pay your subscription to the Ligonier Banner.
