New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1899-05-03

The murderer who, at dead of night,
creeps, stealthily out to bury the dead and
mangled body of his victim inspires men
with horror and dread There is murderer
abroad who yearly Stays one-sixth of all the
human race who go down to untimely deaths.
This dread monster is called consumption.
The approach of consumption is slow and
insidious. First there is slight disorder
of the digestion. The appetite is poor and
the nourishing properties of the food are not
properly assimilated. The blood becomes
thin and impure. The body begins to starve.
Old tissues of the body are not properly re-
placed by new. The lung tissues are not
properly nourished and are inert and half
dead. = In this condition they offer good
soil for the germs of consumption which
invade and attack them.
This operation is promptly reversed by
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
invigorates the digestion and appetite and
makes assimilation perfect. 1t builds up
and purifes the blood. 1t makes new and
healthy tissue to replace the old, inert mat
ter which it causes to be carried of. T.
drives out all disease-germs. Thousands OF
cases given up as hopeless have been cured
Miss Laura Pierse1 of East Bethlehem, WASH
;roton Co. Pa writes: ~ must write you tel

NAUTICAL TERMS.

An "old tar" has recently prepared
a handbook on nautical terms for the
use of persons who intend to follow
the sea. In order to corr ect popular
belief, our author gravely asserts that
the berths on board ship do not neces-
sarily add to the census. The hatch
ways are not hens nests, The weight
Of the ship is not the extent Of her
avoirdupois. The boatswain does not
pipe all hands with a meerschaum.
The ship does not have a wake over a
dead calm. The taper of a bowsprit
is not a tallow candle. The hold is not
the vessels grip. The trough of the
ship is not dug out Of the ships log.
The crest of wave is no indication Of
its rank. The buoy is not the cap
tain's son. The men are not beat to
quarters with club. Ships are never
boarded at hotels. The bow of a ship
is no evidence of politeness. Asailor's
stockings are never manufactured
from yarn Of their own spinning. The
sails Of a ship are not made by an
auctioneer, nor are the stays construct
ed by q modiste.

EVERYBODY HAS ONE SLOW
FOOT.

You may think this very silly ques-
ton to arise, but is it? There is no catch
about it. 1t is simple demonstrable
fact which you can prove to your own
satisfaction in a very few minutes.
If you will take any pavement that
is clear of other pedestrians, so that
there shall be no interference, and
walk briskly in the center, you will
find that before you have gone hum
dred yards you will have veered very
much to one side. You must not make
any conscious effort, of course, to keep
to the centre or you may do it, but II
you think Of something, and endeavor
to walk naturally, it is hundred to one
you cannot keep direct line.
The explanation of this lies in the
popularity of one foot to walk faster
than the other. Or, to be more correct,
perhaps it should be said that one leg
takes a longer stride than the other.
1t is well known, for instance, that
If one is lost in the woods,
the tendency is to walk in q
circle, and eventually to return to tho
starting point. This demonstrates the
fact, also, that one foot walks faster
than the other.
You can try an interesting expert
ment in this way if you will place two
stakes in the lawn about eight feet
apart, and then stand off about sixty
feet, allow yourself to be blindfolded,
and endeavor to walk between them.
You will find it an almost impossible
task because one FOOT will go a bit
faster than the other, either to the
right or left. Now, which one Of your
feet walks the faster than the other2

THE FAYUM PAPYRI.

Even before 1870 there were to be
found in the shops at Cairo old Greek
documents, the sources of which were
unknown. Then it was learned that
the papyri came from Fayum.
During the reign of the second
Ptolemy there were extensive reclama-
tious of laDd made around Lake
Moeris, and here Greeks founded pros
porous settlements. For over 500 years
here were centres of civilization,
where literature and art hourished.
In the third century of the Christian
era began decay, and about the time
of Constantine much of the country
returned to its original desert. Towns
fell into ruin, and the sands swallowed
up the houses. 1t is from these sites
that nearly all the recent Greek papyri
of Egyptian origin have come.
While the higher grounds of Fayum
attracted the attention of modern
Egyptologists,t the lower portions were,
in a measure, neglected. In 1896
Messrs. Hogarth, Grenfell and Hunt
conducted excavations on the part of
the Egyption Exploration Fund, at
two sites to the northeast of Fayum,
identified as karamis and Racchias,
and discovered many papyri. In 1897
Messrs. Grenfell and Hunt excavated
the site of Oxyrhynehus, and with
good success. Last year at Kasr ell
Banat, believed to be the old Euhe-
meria, building was found, and here
were turned up more papyri of the
first three centuries A. d. In one house
400 documents were discovered. There
were inscribed potsherds, terra cottas,
silver and copper coins, and numerous
objects Of domestic use or ornament.
In a temple already rifled were demotic
papyri with bronze statuettes belong
ing to the later Ptolemaic period.
Extending the area of research,
Messrs. Grenfell and Hunt began work
at Harit. Here a cemetery of the
Ptolemaic times was found. Unfor-
tunately the ground was damp one,
and the papyri had rotted. There
were, however, many fine views of ala
baster which were discovered.
All the papyri found have been
brought to England. and a selection
will be returned to the Gizeh Museum,
in Cairo. An exhibition of these
papyri and other antiquities coming
from Fayum and Oxyrhynchus will be
held in London this month, together
with objects lately found in Athens.
The mostimportant of these are a head

A Scotch maiden lady Of distinguish

trained the parrot to say Come in"

opened the door. This prac-
tice of the parrot was naturally much
admired and appreciated. The lady
however, had to go away for a visit OF

SOME BIGGEST THINGS.

The biggest room in the world, I'M
supported by pillars, and under one
roof, is in the palace at st. Petersburg.
Its length is $50 feet, and it is 100 feet
broad, affording sufficient floor space
for the man9uvres Of q battalion of in
fantry.
The biggest bit of straight railway
track, without O curve, is 214 miles
long, and runs from Buenos Ayres to
a junction with the new Argentine
Pacific Railway, at the foot OF the
Andes.
The biggest speech ever made was
the Grafton Of Senator de Cosmos, of
the British Columbia Legislature, who
talked out" the Confiscation Bill by
speaking against time for 26 hours
without leaving off, thereby preserv-
ing the rights of the settlers.
The biggest map in existence is the
Ordnance Survey map Of Great
Britain, comprising 100, 900 sheets, and
costing about 81, 900, 900 a year.
The biggest shot was that fired from
Krupp's steel gun, weighing 1870 tons.
The shot weighed 25cwt., and was
thrown to a distance of over fifteen
miles.
The biggest bit Of fencing is Tor,
rather was) to be found in Australia,
and consisted of a length Of wire-net-
ting 1858 miles long, erected in vain
hope of stopping the plague of rabbits.
The biggest sign for advertising pur-
poses can be seen on the perpendicu-
lar cliff of an island close to the Grand
Canary. The inscription is "Grand
letters forming the words are about 10
feet wide and 80 feet high. The sign
is nearly 100 feet long, and stands 400

ONE OF OUR HEROES.
The brightest page in the history of

cords the thoughtfulness of the officers
and the faithfulness of their men
qualities which, when coDjoined, make

McClintock, touched as he was by
this exhibition of the mans devotion,
still wanted him to get away. He
urged him to leave him. The man re-
fused. Finally McClintock said:
"I'm your captain, and l order you

one but me. This is no place for we'll

Then the man had to tell.

They lay there in silence for hong
time. The firing began to come from
the left. The soldier worked his pain
ful way around until he was again be-
tween McClintock and the line Of fire.
