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 a clinic
existed in connection with the temple of
Heliopolis. 1t is equally probable that, if
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
faith 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 W the first idea of
care for the sick and afiicted.-Quarterly

Religious Foot Washing In Paris.

The church, being fond Of striking
contrasts, put forth all her pomp while
the archbishop was going through the
humiliations of the ceremonial. Strict
ly speaking, there is no foot washing.
The IL INDECENT old men had their feet
washed before they came to the cathe-
dral.
When seated there in a row, stock
ingless, but with slippers resembling
those worn by seabathers at Trouville,
the archbishop approaches them, attend
ed by his Wears general. One Of these
ecclesiastics bears a golden ever, with a
narrow neck, in which is scented water,
and the other a basin and napkins of
fine damask linen. A footstool is before
each old man. The basin is set on it by
the archbishop. This done, the person
whose feet are to be washed withdraws
them from the canvas slippers and holds
them over the basin. His grace then
pours a few drops of water owe each
foot. This done, a towel is handed to
him, and he wipes the water away.
As there T - persons to be attend
ed to, this Office, which is taken to sym
bolize Christian charity and humility,

BISHOP PoLk's QUICK WIT.
How He Saved Himself From Capture
When Inside the Federal Lines.

w. A0 Ree1
When inside the Federal Lines.
Bishop Polk of Louisiana, who served
so zealously in the Confederate army,
had one adventure at the battle of Per-
fyville which is best told in his own
words. He says:
About dark, shortly after the arrival
Of Liddeii's brigade, / observed a body
Of men whom / believed to be Confed-
crates standing at an angle to this bril-
gade and firing obliquely at the newly
arrived troops.
"Dear me" said I ''this is very sad.
It must be stopped" So I turned round,
but could find none of my young men,
who were about on various messages. /
determined to ride up myself and settle
the matter. / cantered up to the colonel
Of the regiment, asked him in angry
tones what he meant by shooting at his
friends and desired him to cease doing
SO at once.
IT don't think there can be any mis-
take about it, )" he said, with some sur
prise. IT am sure they are the enemy
"Enemyl'' I said. "Why, Ihave only
just left them myself. Cease firing, sirl
What is your name, sir?"
my name is Colonel - of the
-, and pray, sir, who are your"
Then, for the first time, I saw to my
establishment that he was a Federal, and
that I was in the rear Of the Federal
lines. I knew there was no hope but in
brazening it out, my dark blouse and the
increasing obscurity ~befriending me, so
I approached quite close to him, shook
my fist in his face and said:
''I'll soon show you who I am. Cease
firing at oncei"
I then turned my horse and cantered
slowly down the line, shouting in an
authoritative manner to the Federals to
cease firing.
At the same time I experienced dis
agreeable sensation like screwing upmy
back and calculating how many bullets
could lie between my shoulders. l was
afraid to increase my pace till I got to a
small copse, and then I put the spurs in
and galloped back to my men. I rode up
to the nearest officer and said to him,
Colonel, I have reconnoitered those fell
lows pretty closely, and there is no mis-
take about their being Federals!''-

1t Is That OF q Man Who Was Once Swal-
lowed by an Allix.aor.
Edward Rowland enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the only person living who
was swallowed by an alligator. The
saurian swallows his prey whole and
digests it at leisure. and it is to thia
characteristic that Rowland owes his
life.
When boy, his parents owned win
ter home near Sanford, Fla, which is
near Dunn's creek, where there are still
more alligators than can be found in
any place else in Florida.
At the time mentioned, it was liter
ally swarming with the huge reptiles,
and the largest ever killed were secured
here, one measuring over 10 feet in
length.
Young Rowland had gone with his
parents to point on the St. Johns riv-
or, near the mouth of Dunn's creek, and
had wandered away from them. Sud
denly q huge gator emerged from q
small lake and started toward Q creek,
coming Immediately past the place
where the boy was seated ON the bank,
kicking pebbles. The child started to
run, but stumbling fell head first i'm
mediately in front Of the reptile, which
swallowed him at once
Young Rowland g screams were heard,
and the parents reached the scene Just
in time to see the disappearance Of their
son down the huge throat Of the sauri-
an. The father, never dreaming that
the boy was not killed, shot the alliga-
tor, the ball, fortunately. striking him
in the eye and penetrating the brain.
The feet Of tho boy were protruding
from the mouth of the dead alligator,
and with the thought Of only obtaining
his remains for burial the reptile was
cut open. There were signs of life, and
after several hours Of hard work the IA
Their succeeded in resuscitating the boy,
the only serious injury being to his an
kles, which had been crushed by the
reptiles teeth when he was in the throes
of death.
Since that time Rowland has been .
