SLOT MACHINES.


They Were Used During the Time
and Reign of Rameses.
A correspondent of the Boston Her
aid writes: ''It is true there are few
things new under the sun. Air BEDS or
what we call pneumatic beds, were
used by the Romans before the Chris
tan era. The most remarkable duplica-
ton of an old invention is the nickel
in-the-slot machine. This was first
used during the time and reign of RAM
eses, in the eighteenth dynasty of
Egypt, for the purpose of supplying
holy water, that which had been bless
ed by the priests, to the people who
desired it. The machine was urn shap-
ed, with a small cylinder inside,
through which ran a rod connecting a
valve at the bottom of the cylinder
with one at the top. These were oper-
ated by a lever, which closed the bot
tom valve while opening that at the
top, when the cylinder would fill with q
fixed amount of water. To obtain the
water a cup was placed at the outlet; a
coin Of three drachmae, equal to about
IS cents of our money, was dropped
into the slot on to scale pan in the
end of the lever This opened the cyl
Under at the top and closed the lower
valve, allowing the coin to slide of, the
weight of water closing the top valve,
opening the lower one and allowing the
water to run into the cup. This is the
basis of all patented slot machines of
the present time and dates back to
nearly 5000 B. c."

Suggest Some Changes.

At a meeting of the Wayne County
Board of Education Tuesday, several
resolutions favoring a change in the
and will be presented to the State
Board of Education at it's next meet
ing. The most important points are
the favoring of a nine year common
school course, instead of eight, with
the same number of subjects, and
that the grades throughout the com
mon and high school be numbered
from one to thirteen, eliminating the
four years called High School years
and having the whole system graded
with numbers.

DR. Somerville Hastings, lecturing at
the London Institute of Hygiene on
Cleanliness Is Next to Goodness"
said that people were much cleaner
now than in the reigns of Queen Mary
and Elizabeth, when the washing Of
clothes was unknown. Cotton was
hardly in use, and linen was expensive.
The poor wore rough wooden garments,
which were never washed, and the bet
ter classes adorned themselves with
silks and velvets, which were dyed
when they would no longer pass mus
ter in regard to cleanliness. 1t Is re-
corded, continued DR.. Hastings, that
James /. never washed either hands or
face during the period he pessed as the

fined his cleanliness within the narrow
limits of wiping his finger tips upon q
