The collection of Assyrian and Baby- jonian records at the British Museum has revealed more of the life of people who lived 5,000 years ago than is known in the case of our own country men 1.000 years ago. Such was the opinion cxpressed by Mr. W, St. Chad Joscawen when he explained these relics to an interested audience. The clay bricks and cylinders bencath the glass cases were covered with characters testi- fying to a completely organized system of justice, marriage, divorce, com» merce. The bookkeeping of 5,000 years ago was shown to be wonderfully ac- curate : A curious form of record is that preserved in the form of baked clay tab. lets, which were inclosed in clay en velopes also inscribed with the terms of domestic and provided against the possibilities of dam- age. The “open and closed evidence” refer to this system. The practice of re- cording on a brick the name of the king. of the building. and of the city in which it was being erected has had the advan. tage in modern days that an odd brick may become the means of disinterring a city hitherto unknown.—London Chron- le, Sugar From Sawdust.

Two Points of View, A farmer drifted into a hardware store at Mulhall and was asked by the man- ager: ‘Don’t you want to buy a bicycle to ride around your farm on? They're cheap now.
