CHIMNEYS OF COLONIAL DAYS
Pirff>l?o?i Played an Important Part
In tha Homaa of the Early
Colonial#,
? ? ? ?
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

LINEN OVER 6,000 YEARS OLD
Fabric Found In Cemetery at Tarkhan
- as Fresh as Whsn First
Woven.
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. The
earliest discovery of fossil ..horse, so
ma! ns was made near AMe Neversink
Highlands.* ? Harper's Weekly.

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." Being "a practical man," ha
asks a third, eto^ term.
