clothing business. The goods were cut
up in the plant of the maker and
farmed out to many small contractors
with quarters in dirty, stuffy side streets
Of the poor districts. Here men, women
and children toiled at little pay. The
hours were long, the surroundings I'M
healthful. Or, women took the materials
home with them and sewed the pieces
into garments under still more miserable
conditions. Even to-day, there is very
much clothing of the cheap and infer
ior kind made in the same way.
The modern era in clothes making
came with the departure from this sys-
tenn by Ederheimer, Stein & Co.; with
the erection of large buildings tn differ
ent sections OF the city, far enough from
the business center to get the purest of
country light and air.
These buildings, 'tailor-shops' they
are called, are handsome brick struc-
lures with solid walls and large windows
on all sides. Each floor is one immense
room with nothing to obstruct the light
which comes in from all directions. The
floors are kept as clean as in any house.
An electric plant provides light during
the short days of winter, and this same
plant operates the machinery as well.

In a Eod.

Nothing has such bewildering ef- feet as fog Only animals which find their way by scent can get about in it with any certainty. Birds are entirely confused by it. Tame pigeons remain all day motionless and half asleep, hud- died up, either ill or just outside their pigeon houses. Chickens remain mo- tionless for hours during heavy fogs. No bird sings or utters call, perhaps because it fears to betray its where abouts to an unseen foe. During one very thick fog q blind man was found wandering about certain district of London. This man was in the habit of coming up avery day from a suburb. carrying notes and parcels, and had scarcely ever lost his way before. Ask ed why he had gone astray (for he was quite blind, and it was supposed that weather would have made no differ ence), he said that in fog the ground sounded quite differently.

Siond Indians,

One of the mysteries of Mexico is presented by the Maya Indians, who inhabit the Sierra Madre mountaius i. the lower part of Sonora. They have fair skins, blue eyes and light hair and students of ethnology have always been puzzled to account for them. There Is tradition. however. tha; these Indians are the descendants of the crew and passengers of Swedish vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast centuries before Columbus discovered the new world. But this tradition is founded on nothing more substantial than folklore tale current among them that their ancestors came over the big salt water hundreds of moons ago.

Medicine In Ancient Eaypt.

There is much evidence In inscrip tions and manuscripts that the ancient Egyptians practiced medicine and sur gerry extensively. Probably their prac- tice was based on little knowledge of anatomy. Each physician treated only one or two diseases. The sick were exposed in public places so that others who had suffered similarly might tell them of helpful remedies. Diseases of the eye were best understood and re- celved both medical and surgical treat ment. The most important medical manuscript found in Egypt Is the Uapyrus Ebers, written 5000 B. c. and discovered In Memphis. Disease, ac- cording to the Egyptians, was due to the anger of some deity, the result of the triumph of avil in its struggle with good, RE :'l which Is still very gen. eral throd.5 '!Jl:s Africa and Asia and which sG..iN time has bn-u prevalent tp modified fOrrS ir almost every race. -'Records of the Past"
