Cipber writing.

The art of secret writing. or writing
In cipher, was. according to Polybius.
invented by lEneas, author Of trea-
tise ON tactics and other works. He
produced twenty methods OF writing
In cipher, which no person could un-
fold, but we doubt much whether they
would preserve this quality at the pres
ent day. 1t Is no less strange than
true that this art. so important In di-
plomacy. as long as couriers are liable
to be Intercepted. was held in abhor-
renee by the elector Frederic H.. who
considered 1t as 4 diabolical invention.
Trithcmius, abbot of Spanheim, had
composed several works to revive this
branch Of knowledge. and Boyille. an
ignorant mathematician, being unable
to comprehend the extraordinary terms
he made use OF to explain his method.
published that the work was full Of di-
abolical mysteries. Poissevin repeated
the assertion, and Frederic, In a holy
zeal, ordered the original work OF Tri-
thcmius. which he had In his library,
to be burned US the invention of the

Two Doctors.

Almost every one has made his Jest
about the proneness OF doctors to dis
agree. the one prescribing exactly an
opposite course from that ordered by
another. but not every one has had an
opportunity to conduct such nm expert
ment as was made by the late Baron
Lutz formerly prime minister of Ba-
varia. The baron was once severely
wounded In battle In both legs. The
wound In one leg was much like that
In the other. 1t struck him that there
was n chance to study the ways Of the
surgical profession and beguile the
long hours Of his convalescence. He
accordingly called In one doctor and
gave him charge Of his right leg, but
told him nothing about the wound in
the other, and then called in another
doctor for his left leg. keeping him
similarly in ignorance about the
wounded right leg. The doctors adopt
ed very different method OF treat
ment. but both wounds healed at about
the same time. When the bnrons legs
were quite well he derived n great deal
OF amusement from getting the doc
tors together and mystifying them with
questions about the way each had
treated his leg
