In America tha early colonists had ! lUUa use tor tha mason's art, except In the construction of the huge chim ney stacks which In any dwelling of oonulderable ?Ue and any pretention^ to oomfost formed a very consider-, able part of the structure. Tha grpftt kitchen fireplace and oven, with, smaller hearths in from two to four rooms on each floor, required a very considerable pari of the material and skilled labor bestowed u^on a colonial homestead in the more northern ooi ooiea. * Iu some sections where the dangers of an attack by Indian raiders were! Imminent, the wooden walls of the' Ipwer story inclosed a stout wall of briok or a kind of rubble masonry. Some of these buildings are fftill standing and inhabited, although dat ing back (at least so far as the thwer stories are conoerned) more than two centuries. ? very felr briok buildings have wholly or in part come down to us from the first years of colonisation, and until within the last half cen tury some that preserved the peculiar features gf Igllsabethan and Stuart types of dwelling and busln'ess struc tures. Much of the brick and about all the great flooring tilea and orna mental tiling were at first imported from Kurope, but lime and prick of good quality were soon produced In almost every community. ?

In one of the apartment* at Univer sity college Prof. Flinders Petrle has placed on exhibition some remarkably interesting antiques unearthed at Tark han, Hellopolls and Memphis under the auspices of the British School of Archaeology in. Egypt, says the Wash ington Herald. ThO great cemetery of Tarkhan, which occupied a mile of desert 40 miles south of Cairo, and which dates from the earliest historic age until the race of the pyramid builders, has proved to be exceedingly prolific in antiquities. What has struck Prof. Petrie is the extraordinary preserva tion of the woodwork and clothing un earthed from these places of Inter ment of long ago. - A great sheet of linen which 1b placed on exhibition Is as fresh and as firm as when cut from the original length? and It is some 6?QQ0 years' old. So, likewise, with' Onr ' woodwork, of decay. Here are boxes that served their purpose as funeral caskets, built of _plAnkfl of..ac4cla and Bhittim wood, und as firm and secure as when low ered Into the bosom of the earth in, dim antiquity. Wandering Youth. Sudden disappearances 'of men and women unhappily are a pronounced feature in the life of all great cities, | but London has been the first of the world's maelstroms to attempt a tabu lation and classification. Last year 2,676 women over sixteen years of age were Bwallowed up in the Insatiate vortex of that metropolis without im mediate trace. ? More startling ' and pregnant with thought to all who are concerned with the problem pt safe guarding the young is that, dtuing the same" ye?p; i7tlS~ giTlr between the ages of ten and sixteen were reported to the metropolitan pollfee as missing. 'The ultimate traoing of these victims ot the dangers of a large ?lty to iadple scent womanhood resulted In sad rev r elatlons to parents and friends. Some iflLlhft^xnlMlpg are still mining and will be. The moral Is clear. He who runs may read. Watch, guide and help the youth, girls and boys, who have reached or passed the critical time of maturity. "The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts." Puzzles for Patients. Although the patient, had waited half an hour for her ..interview, the time had not dragged. - . worked on one of those puzzles," she said. "By the way, doctor, you are not a children's specialist; then why do you keep so many puzzles In your reception room?" "Ton answered your own question before you asked It," the doctor said. "I keep them to amuse the growif-ups.' Most people who feel bad enough to visit a doctor can entertain them selves* better with a puzzle than a book or magazine. Every pnszlc that has achieved popularity in the last twenty-five years has a place in that cabinet. Dentists also rely on puzzles to keep their patients In good humor, for even toothache will share atten tion with a good puzzle." Hor?M rh th# Glacial Epoch. The opinion has been expressed that .4xorses became 6xtlpct in the glaciated regions of North America, and prob ably In the whole ^ofitluent, abbut the gilddle of the glacial spoch, It has been pointed out that all the appar ently authentic discoveries of fossil horses In the United States east of the great plains fall into two sets of lo calities, one along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and the other extended from New Jersey to South Dakota, the localities, in the last set lying, with few exceptions, close to the southern border of the ^ft_covered area.

TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST "Expected Economies from Combina tion" Do Not Materialize. (Lout* D. Brandels In Collier'a.) i ? Leaders of the new (Third Term) party argue that iudustrial monopo lies should be le^plized, lest we lose the efficiency of lur&a-scalo production and distribution,: ...NO' argument could bo more misleading. ? * ? It may be safely asserted that In America there Is no line of business In which all or most couoerns or plants must be concentrated In order to attain the size of greatest effi ciency. For while a business may be, too BmaU to be efficient, efficiency does not grow> Indefinitely with Increasing Blze. What the moat efficient size is can be learned definitely only by ex perience. The unit of greatest effi ciency 1b reached when the disadvan tages of slae counterbalance the ad vantages. The unit of greatest effi ciency la exceeded when the dlsad .vantages of size outweigh th.e advan tages. The hlBtory of American trusts mak?B th^s. clear. That history shows: First ? No conspicuous American trust owes its existence to the desire for increased efficiency. "Expected economies from combination" figure largely In promoters' prospectuses ; but they have never been a compell ing motive in the formation of any trust. On the contrary, the purpose of combining has often been to curb effi ciency or even to preserve ineffl* ciency, thus frustrating the natural law of the survival of the fittest. Second ? No conspicuously profita bly trust owes its profits largely to superior efficiency. Some trusts have been very efficient, as have some in dependent ooncerhs;' but conspicuous profits" have been secured " mainly through control of the market ? through the power of monopoly to fix prices? through this exercise .^of the taxing power. ? Third?No conspicuous trust has been efficient enough to maintain Ion* as against the independents its- pro portion of the buslnessN of the country without continuing to buy up, from, time to time, Its successful competi tors. -f I There is plenty ^ peace about the Taft oandldaoy, but nobody claims "it pauseth understanding." Woodrow Wilson saye to the long suffering farmer who buys in a trust controlled, highly ^protected market and sells his wares in a free market: "Walk into your own house and take possession." ? ? 'How many of those who are strug gling with the "High Cost of Living" believe there is to be any relief if the Republican party, which brought It about, remains in power? The Bull Moose ran things with a big stick fct Washington for seven an'd a half years and didn't by act or word smite the bosses he now rails against or promote the causes he now "em bodies."
