Circulation of the Blood known to
Their Doctors 5000 Years Ago.
The Harveian grafton at the Royal
College Of Physicians, London, was de.
hvered this year by DR.. Richard
Cation, F. R. G. P. In the course Of
his remarks he said that Harvey was
almost anticipated 5000 years ago by
the priest-doctors Of Egypt in his mo.
mentous discovery of the circulation of
the blood.
AS far back as 1000 B. G. Egypt had
works on medicine and anatomy, and
one brilliant genius nova

I-em-hotep, priest of the sun god Ra,
and physician to King Torsothros, be-

as a demigod after death, temple

honor hospitals were raised in Mem
phis and other cities. Here the priest
physicians treated the sick and en-
balmed the bodies of men and sacred
animals.
These were probably, DR.. Cation

tain intelligent references to the heart,
the blood vessels and the pulse. OF
the heart in particular they knew
much, and their writings refer to it's

these old-world inquirers speaks Of

Not Greece, therefore, but Egypt,

who was close friend of her father.
She was said recently to have express

A Fish'e Appetite.

A singular instance Of tenacity in
the digestion Of fish is reported from
Sheffield, England. The fish, which
was four feet long, had what appeared
to be an abnormally hard liver. But
the cutting up process revealed some
thing far stranger. The supposed hard
liver turned out to be nothing else
but a piece of stout netting, over two
yards long and fourteen inches wide,
which had been pressed into the form
of football. How this great mass of
indigestible material came to be swal-
lowed by the creature is a mystery,
and the suggestion that the fish caught
in the tolls of fisherman's net solved
the problem Of how to escape by de-
vouring his prison walls is not con-
sidered scientifically practicable.

They Become Sophisticated, but Lose

It is a far call, indeed, from the wild
rose to the American beauty; from the
dainty, old-fashioned ''pinks" to the
Lawson and the enchantress carna-

of our grandmothers' days to the su-

magnificent mops as trophies of the

The work of breeding and training has

Flowers, thank heaven, are beyond
the reach of affectation. They may
be rendered, by careful culture, more
radiant, more prodigal of beauty and
fragrance, more replete with the power
to brighten the hour of gladness and
to lend comfort to times of sadness
and aff1iction, but they can be spoiled
or deteriorated never. AS long as the
world abides flowers will exhale their
beneficent fragrance for all, and will
never tire of the riot of beauty which
they have provided since the morning
stars sang together for the delectation
of man.

most frightful imprecations.

Many Words and Sentences In Common
Use Had Peculiar Beginnings.
Nearly every one has at times been
puzzled to account for the origin of
words and phrases they hear used in
the conversation of those with whom
they come in daily contact. Some of
these are peculiar in their etymology
and give no indication of their par
entage. The word "hurrah," for in
stance, is token Of joy in use for
centuries. 1t is the battle cry of the
old Morse vikings as they swept
down to burn and murder among
the peaceful British. "Tur aiew was
their war cry, which means ''Thor

Its all humbugw Perhaps it is.
Humbug is the Irish 'uim bog" pro-
