The Science of Medicine.

According to well known statistical
authority, the medical knowledge of the
ancient Egyptians is presented to us in
the LEIPZIG papyrus written in the six
teenth century B. G., supposed to be parts
of the "Hermetic Books" the substance
dating from 1000 B. G.. From the Bible
much Is learned of the science of medicine
among the Jews, 1900 B. c.. In the
eleventh century B. c. India possessed
many branches of the science, though i'm
perfectly, but in advance of the Egyptians
and Jews. The healing art was studied
among the Persians and Greeks about 500
b. c., and Pythagoras explained the phi
losophy of disease and the action of medi.
cine about the same time. The science
was carried to Rome from the schools Of
Alexandria about 100 B. G. Hippocrates
the Great Of Cos, who died at Larissa, in
Thessaly, 877 OF $40 B. c., was "the Gre
ator of profane as distinguished from
sacerdotal medicine, Of public In place of

ence-only his love for her could work this
magic. So she gave him kiss for kiss,
largely believing, largely hoping that Mrs.
Barker was in love with Van Loo and
would not return. And in this hope an in
vincible belief In the folly Of her own sex
soothed and sustained her.
1--WE must go now, dearest" said Barker,

how. Il will bring you back to the hill
again. but there we had better separate
you taking your way alone to the hotel as
you came. and will go a little way on the
road to the Divide and return later. Keep
your own counsel about Kitty for her sake
and ours; perhaps no one else may know
the truth yet" With a farewell kiss they
plunged again, hand in hand, through the
cool bracken and again through the hot
manzantto bushes. and SO parted on the
hilltop. as they had never parted before
leaving their whole world behind them.
Barker walked slowly along the road un-

with his thought in lights and shadows
Presently there crept toward him out Of

iania. Instantly the window was opened
and the wife of the famous arctic explorer
IN another moment covered the little mes
senger with kisses and caresses The car
rier pigeon had been away from the cot
tage thirty long months, but it had not
forgotten the way home. 1t brought a
note from Nansen stating that all was
going well with him and his expedition in
the polar regions.
Nansen had fastened message to a car
rier pigeon and turned the bird loose The
frail courier darted out into the blizzardIy
air 1t flew like an arrow over a thousand
miles OF frozen waste. and then sped for
"ard over another thousand miles of ocean
ana oiains and forests, and one morning
entered the window of the waiting mistress
and delivered the message which she had
been awaiting SO anxiously
We boast of human pluck, sasacfty and
endurance, but this loving little carrier
pigeon, in its homeward flight after an
absence of thirty months, accomplished a
feat SO wonderful that we can only give
ourselves up to the amazement and admira

the marvellous story is told. Mrs. Nan

world.
