Medicine In Ancient Egypt.

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-
ceived both medical and surgical treat
ment. The most important medical
manuscript found in Egypt is the
Uapyrus Ebers, written 5000 B. G. and
discovered in Memphis. Disease, ac-
cording to the Egyptians, was due to
the anger of some deity, the result of
the triumph of evil In Its struggle with
good, an idea which is still very gen.
eral throughout Africa and Asia and
which at some time has been prevalent
in modified forms in almost every race

Why a SWELLING Follows a Blow.

The swelling which follows from
blow is natures effort to protect the
part from further injury and to keep 1t
at rest while repair is going on. What
actually takes place at the seat Of in
jury is not even now quite understood
The injury to the smaller blood vessels
interferes with the flow Of blood
through them, and the white corpus
cles, with part Of the serum, the wa
tering part Of the blood, escape into
the surrounding tissues. At the same
time the blood vessels in the nelghbor-
hood dilate. and the increased flow Of
blood with the thoroughfare obstructed
increases the swelling. It is probable
that the white corpuscles Of the blood
pass into the tissues to assist In the re-
pair, as bees or ants assemble at an in
jury to their storehouse, but with this
difference-that the substance Of the
corpuscles Is probably converted into
the tissue Of repair. From one point Of
view the human body Is only one gi-
gantic colony Of individuals and the
swelling that follows Injury but the
rush of these to repair the breach.

In a Foo.


Nothing has such a bewildering ef-
feet as fog. Only animals which find
their way by scent can get about In 1t
with any certainty. Birds are entirely
confused by it. Tame pigeons remain
all day motionless and half asleep, hud-
died up, either In 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 blind man was found
wandering about certain district Of
London. This man was in the habit Of
coming up every 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."-Chums.

entering into sympathy with the art

cording to his intention. In a perfect
poem the place of every word, in per-

who sklps throws away the pleasure
he has meant to derive from the har-

A ausin. Scotch Wedding Custom.

still seems to survive even In Glasgow.
A correspondent observed a notice
posted up In the Cowcaddens, a low

the public that soldier would shortly
enter into the bonds of wedlock and
that twopence' would be charged for
admission to the ceremony and an ad-

ticc seems to be peculiarly Scotch, but
sixpence certainly seems moderate

A Literary Curiosity.

Some years ago Paris newspaper
ordered story Of adventure from
well known novelist. The price agreed
upon was franc a line. The novelist
stralghtway hunted up an old man Of
letters-the unknown collaboration Of
many more famous authors - who
agreed to write the story for 25 cen
times line. When the work had
rea ched Its second part In the course
Of publication the novelist learned that
his old client was seriously Ill. Hasten
Ing to his bedside, he found him dying.
In agony for the fate Of his story, the
novelist rushed to the office Of the
newspaper, got hold of some back
numbers In order to pick up the
threads of the romance and brought
1t to a speedy end in few brief
chapters. Then he went to the office
with the manuscript.
whats thatT asked the editor.
"Why, the continuation and end Of
my story"
"Oh, then, you want to change II,
suppose, because. you know, you sent
in the last chapters three days ago"
Admirable self possession on the
part of the novelist prevented disaster,
and he finally found this explanation:
The old man, whose price was 25 cen
times a line, had himself sublet his
task to third writer at 10 centlmes,
and thus the work had been finished
In safety.

A young man engaged board and
