LAWSUIT 800 YEARS OLD.
Case Involving French Millions Has
Been Pending That Length
Of Time.

Jean Thiery. who died in 1876 at
Venice, leaving fortune of $1,000 900,
was indeed benefactor of the legal pro-
fession. Every since his demise litiga-
ton has been going on about his will
and still continues. In 1891 the claim
ants to the Thiery estate were found to
number 1000. A. M. and Nine. Revoi
are now cheerfully engaged in Mitigation
with the fond hope of obtaining the ac-
cumulated fortune, which, if it exists,
must be enormous. There is, however,
doubt whether 1t does exist, says a re-
cent account
The case is as beautifully complicated
as the most legal mind could wish. Thu
cry left his money to relatives in France,
who never claimed it and the fortune re-
manned in the Bank of Venice. Toward
The latter years of the seventeenth CEN
tury some forgers appear to have con-
cocted spurious warrant from the king
of France making the estate over to
them. They were found out and the
deed was revoked.
Throughout the eighteenth century
the case was carried from court to court
in France and at Venice. In 1895 Gen.
Bonaparte was ordered by the govern
ment of the French republic to claim the
Thiery estate. Shortly afterward he
occupied Venice, and whether or not he
then appropriated the money to pay his
troops is still moot point During the
last century, in the seventies, Mrs.
Cotton devoted her energies, without re-
suit. to suing the French government
for the Thiery estate
About ten years ago Nine. Roussei
took hand in the game. The present
claimants, M. and Mime. Revol, have
just lost preliminary suit before the
council of state because they could not
prove that the Thiery fortune was in
the Bank Of Venice at the time of the
French occupation of Bonaparte, nor.
consequently, that the latter had appro-
priated the funds. but they are going
hopefully on with their case

WAS KNOWN 10 EGYPTIANS.
Circulation of the Blood Was Under
stood by Their Doctors 5000
Years Ago.

The Harye18n Grafton at the Royal Col.
lege of Physicians, London, was deliv.
cred this year by DIR. Richard Cation, r
r. c. P. In the course of his remarks
he said that Harvey was almost antici-
pated 5000 years ago by the priest-doc.
tors of Egypt in his momentous discov.
cry Of the circulation of the blood.
As far back as 1000 B. c. Egypt had
works on medicine and anatomy, and one
brilliant genius forgotten nowadays
and Committed from the cyclopedias-
I-em-hotep, priest of the sun god Ra,
and physician to King Torsothros, be-
came so eminent that he was revered as
a demigod after death, temple was
built over his tomb, and in his honor
hospitals were raised In Memphis and
other cities. Here the priest ply sicians
treated the sick and embalmed the
bodies of men and sacred animals.
There were probably, DIR. Cation thinks,
the first Of mankind to acquire rudi-
mentary knowledge of the movement OF
the blood. Their papyri contain intelli-
gent references to the heart, the blood
vessels and the pulse. OF the heart In
particular they knew much, and their
writings refer to its enlargement, fatty
degeneration, displacement, palpitation
and pericardial effusion. One remark
able passage of these old-world inquir-
ers speaks of distension of the heart and
shortness of breath as occurring because
the blood has stagnated and does not cir
culate properly.
Not Greece, therefore, but Egypt,
long before Galen and Hippocrates, was
the motherland of rational medicine and
anatomy. The views Of the Greeks on
the circulation of the blood were almost
exactly those which the Egyptians had
taught many centuries earlier.
On one remarkable means of treat
mentor incfpient valvular disease of the
heart which these long forgotten Nile
doctors taught DR.. Cation laid great
stress. 1t was the method recommended
at least 1000 years ago to let the heart
have as much rest as possible--4 wise
injunction, said the Harveian orator,
which we may yet practice with advant-
age. I-em-hotep seems to have been an
all-round genius-physician, architect,
astronomer. aIchemist-so illustrious
that after death he was reputed the son
of the supreme deity, Ptah--all this and
yet nearly lost to fame.

well, the fool got stage-struck and
decided that the farm and fresh air and
| the good living and the good old father
and mother and all the honest friends
he had were not good enough for him
and that he must go to the city and
carve out career. His mother was
heartbroken and his father righteously
angry at his decision. But of course
the fool knew better than they. All
fools know better than their mothers
and fathers-especially cub-fools. So'he
went bravely away to the city, and by
the sheer force of the physical vitality
the country air and good living and de-
cent hours had given him, he wormed
himself into the perfesh and for ten
years has been living in ill-smelling
hotels and stuffy back rooms and eat
ing everything from free lunch weiner-
wurst to the sort of rot this dago con-
cocts in his rotten kitchen.
"The fools father was a strong man
and Just. and when he died few years
ago he left his property to the FOOLS
brother, who was wise man and
stayed with good thing. and knew
enough to come in when it rained
This proves that the FOOLS father knew
his business. So now the fool is elect
ed to exc out his miserable existence
in company with other fools of both
sexes in stuffy lodgings and on liver
wurst and beer and other abomina-
tons, while his brother peacefully
smokes his pipe in comfort and happi-
ness and watches his boys and girls
grow to manhood and womanhood in
the green fields which will be their
heritage-unless they inherit their un-
Gle and become fools"
And the girl" suggested the poet
20, yes: the girl" replied Benton
That is the most pitiful of all. You
see the girl really loved the fool and
her love blinded her to his folly and
she thought it was all RICH, for him tc
go to the city and demonstrate the
depths of his idiocy. And the fool
loved the girl, too, in a fool way and
when he left he took her in his arms and
kissed her and swore eternal fidelity
and promised her future part in his
future triumphs. A few letters passed
and then the fool graduated from the
supe class into speaking part, mel
up against this sort of bunch and the |
paint and the rouge and the pads and
the abandon and the wit and all the |
rest of it, as exemplified in our charm.
