some instances as many as five times.
A careful survey of these old ruins, still
majestic in their proportions, furnishes the
angular twist given al each resetting, and
this fact, Insignificant as 1t may seem, Is
the key which will enable the astronomer
to throw a flood of light upon the antiq-
uity of these primeval relics and upon
Egyptian history in general. The reader
will be able to understand this from
careful consideration of the two related
time factors involved.
The rate of the procession Of the equi-
uoxes, which causes a star to change it's
rising place on the horizon, Is now we'll
known quantity, equal to fifty and two
tenthS seconds of arc in a Year Now, II
we know the angular distance through
which these old temples were twisted at
each resetting and the angular distance
through which they must be twisted to
make them conform to the present rising
of the star to which they were originally
ORIGINATED, it is easy to find the time that
has elapsed since their foundation by d.
viding the total angular twist by the an
nual rate of procession. All this work has
been carefully done recently by one OF
England's most distinguished astronomers
and the results show that these old tenn
pies were founded from 5000 to 5, 400 years
before Christ, indeed, in one instance, the
date is given at 6,4O0 years before Christ.
1Hus IL VIII ne seen now tne Btdr-WOr-
ship Of the ancients furnishes a scientific
clew to historic dates and to the real sig
nihcance of those gigantic ruins which are
scattered along the Nile. We have here
then, unmistakable evidence that from five
to eight thousand years ago there existed
a civilization in Egypt sufficiently advanc-
ed to construct huge temples and to prac-
tice system Of religious worship founded
upon profound knowledge of astrono-
mical science.
Sirius, therefore, TO the student of sci
entihc and religious history, becomes in
vested with the profoundest interest, for
aside from the thought that millions of
people for thousands of years Frustrated
themselves in devout alteration before its
shining face, it becomes the mystic key in
the hands of science by which many OF
the secrets of a remote antiquity are re.
vealed. Otis Ashmore

The ills and Affections to which the Aie-
male sex are subject are numerous and
distressing, and hundreds of unfortunate
women in every city are yearly carried to
the grave as victims, not so much of the
disease that had attacked them as the
failure to receive the proper treatment
which should have been given them. Aft
err the complaint which it is their lot to
become the victim of takes hold upon
them. they rapidly lose their strength,
their nerves become shattered, they pass
sleepless nights and days of incessant pain,
and their minds, as well as their bodies,
give evidence of the terrible ordeal through
which they are passing, and the horrible
pain and suffering they are endeavoring
to endure. Their wrinkled countenance,
their slender frame, their nervous and
hysterical condition point them out even
to the inexperienced eye as the sufferer
of some female disorder that has never
been given the treatment that the high
medical science and skill of this age die
tates.

From slender, shattered frame she de-

He was arguing an important case before

few months since in search of relief from
her pain and suffering that had become
excruciaung, and which made life ter

Mrs. Middleton made her home with rela-

and made inquiries for the purpose of as

best interests to apply for medical aid. She
consulted with numerous persons, men

wonderful cures, found them absolutely

decided to place herself under Abbo's

would derive at least some of the Won

other of his female patients.

Abbo has made a record in Savannah
that any living specialist may well be
proud of. During the year over 1900 peo-
pie have been treated by him. All vera
benefited, and a very large percentage alb
solutely and permanently cured. Many
of the cases that were cured had been
pronounced incurable, and the patients
themselves had almost given up all hope.
His record, which cannot be successfully
assailed, is the strongest evidence that can
be furnished. attesting his wonderful quail
tiles, power. knowledge and skill in coun-
teracting disease and alternating the suf-
ferings of the afflicted.
Persons who cannot visit Abbo at his
office can be successfully treated by mail
by applying for one of Abbo's Symptom

What Would Christ Dc at the Ballot
Roxp

BOX!
Would He vote When Christ was
upon earth, the Emperor of Rome held
monarchical sway over most of the
world. The subject had no share in the
responsibilities of government. The
nearest Christ came to political affairs
was when He told the Jews to render
unto Caesar the things that were Caesar 8.
But We're Christ an American citizen to-
day, would He refrain from voting7 We
think not, for the simple reason that the
responsibility for government in this
land rests upon the citizens, and Christ
never ignored Il responsibility that rest
ed upon Him, nor shirked Il duty grow
ing out OF it.
Would He vote the Republican ticket?
II SO, what is there in the Republican
platform that would induce Him to do
so? The gold standard? The protective
tariff Can YOU imagine that He would
pay any but passing attention to either
OF these? God so loved the world that
He sent his only begOtten Son'-tO save
the gold standard? The very notion is
almost sacriigious. His mission was
not to save monetary standards or
tariff schedules, but men and women. If
He went to the ballot-boN, we may be
sure IL NOulu De Ill pursuit Oh the SfpaT
mission entrusted unto Him.
Would He vote the Democratic ticket?
Why should lie' Would the silver stan
dard appeal to Him any more than the
gold standard? Would the heated dis
cu>sIon as to the division OF profits be-
tween capital and labor draw Him into
it, There We're plenty of cases right
around Him in Judea where such dis
putes We're rife, but when Hewas solicited
to decide one of them, He said: Man,
who made me Judge or n divider over
YOU? His mission was to save sous,
not to save estates, nor to dignity the
strife for riches by applying His time to
1t.
Would He vote the Prohibition ticket?
Why not His mission was to save
souls, and the saloon sends them to deS-
truct1on. He came to quicken the spirit
ual nature, and the saloons deaden it,
Manhood and womanhOod We're what He
was interested in, and the degradation of
them is the regular business OF the LIQUOR
traffic. The Prohibition Party stands
for Christ and His mission, aud vhv
should He not vote with it and for il?
Who could reproach Him? Who could
accuse Him OF inconsistency? Who could
charge Him with lowering His moral
standard?
\ man can be the victim OF a bad fnan-
cial system, a bad tariff system, bad
industrial system, and be driven into
bankruptcy and deStitution, and Yet re-
main a MAN. He may be robbed by
monopoies and squeezed by railroad
combinations, or have his business
crushed by a panic due to too much eur
rencv or too little, and yet retain his
manhood unimpairei and his chances

tim OF the gin mils-ah. that is Il differ
ent story! He is robbed OF his manhood
as we'll rs his possessions He loses his
chances of Heaven as well as his chances
on earth, This is the story that would

Him to action. Who can doubt it2-Er-
