Medicine In Ancient Egypt.

There is much evidence in inscrip- tions and manuscripts that the ancient Egyptians practiced medicine and sur, gery 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 triumnh of evil in it's struggle with good illl .u ., which Is still very gen. eral throughout Africa a"d Asia and which at some time has been prevalent in modified forms ill almost every race -"Records of the Past"

1hinos He Didn't Understand.

A shrewd, worldly agnostic and Christian clergyman dressed in mod est clerical suit sat at the same table In the Pullman dining car. They were waiting for the first course at the dln' ner, delicious Hudson river shad. Flying his companion coldly for mo- ment, the agnostic remarked:
 "I judge you are clergyman, sFT
 "Yes, sir am in my Masters serv ice"
 "Yes, you look it. Preach out of the Bible, don't you?'
 "Oh, yes: of course"
 "Find good many things in that old book that you don't understand. don't you?"
 "Oh, yes; some things"
 "Wel, what do you do then?'
 "Why. my dear friend, 1 simply dc just as l do while eating this delicious shad. If come to q bone quietly lay 1t on one side and go on enjoying the shad and let some fool insist on chok ing himself with the bones"
 Then the agnostic wound up his Wa terbury watch and went into the smok er-Exchange.

The Deadly Finger Nail

Every time you scratch yourself you run a risk, No, don't smile that superior smile and say that you have never yet had any trouble from it. What we say is true. Ask any physician. To scratch your scalp, pimple or scab is particularly dangerous. Your finger nails carry germs of Eczema, Tetanus (Lockjaw) Erysipelas and all manner of skin diseases. Let one little germ get into the scratched place and trou' ble is sure to follow. Because you have been lucky enough to escape so far IS no guaranty that you will be so lucky m the future. Don't take chances. For any itch- ing use Littells Liquid Sulphur, stops itch ing instantly, and permanently relieves all forms of skin complaint, eczema, erysipelas, pimples, running sores, letter, ring worm, chaps, roug ghness, redness or skin blotches.
 Gentlemen: November, 1902, con- tracted facial erysipelas and my physicians prescribed ichthyol ointment and retirement from business. After one days use of the ointment concluded the erysipelas was preferable, on account of the villainous odor and color of the ointment. Having by me a bottle of Littell's Liquid Sulphur with which 1 had cured, with one application, an aggravated case of prickly heat the prev ious summer, I abandoned all other reme- dies and applied that with most satisfactory results, as the disease was confined to its original limits and in due time disappeared.

He Couldn't Bond.

A young man engaged board and lodging in a private family who were extremely devout. Before each meal long grace was said. To their dis may and horror the new boarder sat bolt upright while the others at table reverently bowed their heads. When the second day passed and the young man evinced no disposition to unbend, the good lady of the house could en- dure the situation no longer.
 "Atheism?" asked she sharply.
 No, madam" humbly responded the new boarder; "boil."
