Ancient Hospitals.

Ancient Egyptian records are vague in
their illusions to the treatment of the sick,
but it seems likely from a legend which is
given in the Papyrus Ebers, that clinic
existed in connection with the temple of
Heliopolis. 1t is equally probable that, il
the history Of the temples Of Esculapius
could be unveiled, we should find that in
them also a hospital supplemented the
shrine, and that the sick who offered sacri-
fees there found something more than
"falth healing" within their walls. But
from none of these are our hospitals de
rived; they were destroyed or forgotten in
the barbarian conquests, and SO utter Is
the oblivion into which they fell that it is
now an article Of the popular creed that it
Is to Christianity we owe the first idea of
care for the sick and afflicted Quarterly

and | naturally began to run my eye
throughit.
Its somewhat ambitious title was
"The Book of Life" and it attempted
to show how much an observant man
might learn by an accurate and sys-
tematic examination of all that came
In his way. 1t struck me as being re-
marlsable mixture of shrewdness and
absurdity. The reasoning was close
and intense, but the deductions ap-
peared to be far-fetched and exagger-
ated. The writer claimed by mo-
mentary expression, twitch of
muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom
a mans inmost thoughts. Deceit, ac-
cording to him, was an impossibility
in the case of one trained to observa-
tion and analysis. His conclusions
were as infallible as SO many propo-
sitions of Euclid. So startling would
his results appear to the uninitiated
that, until they learned the processes
by which he had arrived at them, they
might we'll consider him a necromancer.

writer, "a logician could infer the pos
sibility of an Atlantic or Niagara

to the window, and stood looking out
into the busy street. "This fellow
may be very clever" said to myself,
but he is certainly very conceited."
There are no crimes and no Grim
inals in these days" he said, querul-
ously. "What is the use of having
brains in our profession? know well
that have it in me to make my name
famous. No man lives or has ever
lived who has brought the same
amount of study and of natural talent
to the detection of crime which | have
done. And what is the result? There
Is no crime to detect, or, at most, some

official can see through it."
| was still annoyed at his bumptious
style, of conversation. l thought it
best to change the topic.
II wonder what that fellow is look
ing for?" | asked, pointing to stal.
wart, plainly-dressed individual who
was walking slowly down the other
side Of the street, looking anxiously at
the numbers. He had large blue en-
velope in his hand, and was evidently
the bearer Of message.
"You mean the retired sergeant of
marines" said Sherlock Holmes.
"Brag and bouncer thought to my
self. HE knows that cannot verify
his guess"
The thought had hardly passed
through my mind when the man
whom we were watching caught sight
of the number on our door, and ran
rapidly across the roadway. We
heard loud knock, deep voice be-
low, and heavy steps ascending the
stair.
For Mr.. Sherlock Holmes" he said,
stepping into the room and handing
my friend the letter.
Here was an opportunity of taking
the conceit out of him. He little
thought of this when he made that
random shot, MAY | ask, my lad"
| said, blandly, what your trade may
be?"
"Commissionaire, sir" he said gruf-
ly. Uniform away for repairs"
"And you were?" l asked, with a
slightly malicious glance at my com
panion.
"Asergeant, sir, Royal Marine light
infantry, sir. No answer? Right,
SIR"
He clicked his heels together, raised
his hand in salute, and was gone,

Near the close Of the last century ru-
mors Of French invasion alarmed the
country and reused military ardor to such
an extent as to lead to fresh regiments be-
lug raised The Duchess of Gordon is said
TO have had wager with the prince re-
gent as to which of them would first raise
a battalion, and that the fair lady resery-

At all events, the duchess and Lord
Huntly started off ON their errand, and be-
tween them soon raised the required num-

She soon announced to headquarters the
formation of a regiment and entered into
all the negotiations with the military au-

reporting that the whole regiment were
highlanders save 50. Lord Huntly was
given the first command of this corps,

self, Il may as well give up the at

see that have alluded above to his
powers on the violin. These were very
remarkable, but as eccentric as all
his other accomplishments That he
could play pieces, and difficult pieces,
knew well, because at my request he
has played me some of Mendelssohn's
Lieder and other favorites. When left
to himself, however, he would seldom
produce any music or attempt any rec
ogni2ed air. Leaning back in his arm
chair of an evening he would close his
eyes and scrape carelessly at the fiddle
which was thrown across his knee.
Sometimes the chords were sonor-
Gus and melancholy. Occasionally they
were fantastic and cheerful Clearly
they reflected the thoughts which
possessed him, but whether the music
aided those thoughts, or whether the
playing was simply the result of
whim or fancy was more than | could
determine. / might have rebelled
against these exasperating solos had it
not been that he usually terminated
them by playing in quick succession a
whole series Of my favorite airs as
slight compensation for the trial upon
my patience.
buring the first week or SO we had no
callers, and had begun to think that
my companion was as friendless man
as was myself. Presently, however,
found that he had many acquaint
ances, and those in most different
classes of society. There was one lit
tie, sallow, rat-faced, dark-eyed fellow

trade, and who came three or four
times in single week. One morning
young girl called, fashionably
dressed, and stayed for half an hour or
more. The same afternoon brought
gray-headed, seedy visitor, looking like
aJew peddler, who appeared to me to be
much excited, and who was closely fol-
lowed by slip-shod elderly woman.
On another occasion an old white
haired gentleman had an interview
with my companion; and on another
railway porter in his velveteen uni
form When any of these nondescript
individuals put in an appearance, Sher-
lock Holmes used to beg for the use of
the sitting-room, and would retire to
my bedroom. He always apologized
to me for putting me to this inconven-
ienee. 81 have to use this room as a
place of business" he said. "and these
people are my clients" Again had
an opportunity of asking him point
blank question, and again my delicacy
prevented me from forcing another
man to confide in me. l imagined at
the time that he had some strong rea-
son for not alluding to it, but he soon
dispelled the idea by coming round to
the subject Of his own accord.
II was upon the 4th of March, as
have good reason to remember, that
rose somewhat earlier than usual, and
found that Sherlock Holmes had not yet
finished his breakfast The landlady
had become so accustomed to my late
habits that my place had not been laid
nor my coffee prepared. With the un-
reasonable petulance of mankind |
rang the bell ana gave curt intima-
tion that was ready. Then picked
up a magazine from the table and at
tempted to while away the time with
it, while my companion munched ST.
lently ut his toast. One of the articles

But the solar svstemw l protested.

terrupted impatiently; you say that

was on the point of asking him
what that work might be, but some
thing in his manner showed me that
the question would be an unwelcome
one. l pondered over our short con-
versation, however, and endeavored to
draw my deductions from it. He said
that he would acquire no knowledge
which did not bear upon his object.
Therefore all the knowledge which he
possessed was such as would be useful
to him. enumerated in my own mind

THEM FENCES.

They'veehange things all arOun, dear wiz,
Since you and were young;
calkilate, ef they could do 7.
They'd even change our tonguei
That's English-so reckon
That they'll try and let II he,
But the takin down them fences
Hez jess dumfounded mel
Things that seemed mighty clipper
And putty-in our day
Our children calls old fashioned
And carts 'em all away.
The stuff they burns for rubbish
We've loved for many Il year,
But the spilin Nv them fences
Seems most uncommon queerl
They used to mark the boundary llnc
AtwiXt the farmers land,
But now what's mine and what Is his'n
Is hard ter understand
1t looks more manorlihe, they seA
Ter hev full wide sweep,
An so the old snake fences
They can't afford ter keepl
Iknow the young folks in our tlmo
Would trudge full many mile,
But alters he'd ter rest spell
In climbing up the stilel
The boys and gals don't reckon on
The mischief thet they've done
Since they've took away them fences
1t must spile half the fun!
And In the summer courtln time
The choosin NV tber mate
II must come most Onhandy
Athwart the front yard gate
Not 10 swing upon its hinges
With the gal you love the best,
since they've took them picket fences
Away with all the rest!
It's hard ter look aroun, dear wife,
And sec the hand NV time.
Yer miss the landmarks thet we laid
When We wuz in our prime.
Is'pose we're both old fashioned, too;
We're growing old, you know;
elnce they've took away them fences,
It's time fer us ter COL
