INDIAN ANTIQUITIES FOUND IN
ABUNDANCE NEAR CANON CITY
Earhen Jars That Were Used Settlers
Came o This Region Have Up Recently

1t not infrequently happens that
pieces of Indian pottery, and other
evidences of the aboriginal inhabi-
tants of the country, are picked up in
the vicinity of Canon City, some Of
them in. remarkably good state of
preservation. Whether they descend
to US from the Ute Indians who, until
within little more than a generation
ago, occupied this part of Colorado
"since the time when the memory Of
man runneth not to the contrary" or
belong to a more ancient race. is not
of easy determination.
In the window OF the City Book and
Curio Store is shown a very f1ne ex-
ample of these native antiquities,
found within a few months by Miss
Carrie Jackson Of Reynolds avenue.
while picnicking with a party of
friends on a little mountain park four
or five miles from town. 1t Is a water
Jar and. apparently, of very ancient
occupation of the country. 1t was
picked up on the open mesa and had
most likely been exposed to the in
huences of sunshine and rain for a
century or more
Underneath 1t, protected from the
disintegrating effects of the elements,
was a piece of fabric, woven by hands
of an unknown race, which crumbled
into dust when touched. The jar itself
Is intact, save for a small hole in the
bottom. which is characteristic of all
OF the pottery found In this part Of
Colorado. Whether the holes were
made by the aborigines to prevent the
use of their vessels by those who
should succeed them in the possession
of the country, or were the result of
some savage superstition, is a question
for the archasologist and the anti
quarry to settle.
Last summer a beautiful piece Of
this prehistoric pottery was found on
the slopes of Fremont Peak by an
eastern visitor. and about the same
time several specimens Of it was pick
ed up near the northern end OF the
Hogback Much of II, NO doubt, yet
remains to be discovered and a little
systematic exploration would. probab-
~, be highly remunerauve to students
and others interested in the antiquities

Medicine In Ancient Eanpt.

There is in evidence in inscrip-
tons and manuscripts that the an
cient Egyptians practiced medicine
and surgery extensively. Probably
their practice was based on little
knowledge of anatomy. Each ply
sician treated only one or two dis
eases. 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
received both medical and surgical
treatment. The most important
medical manuscript found in Egypt
is 'Papyrus Ebers," written 5000
B. G. and discovered in Memphis.
Disease, according 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 general through
out Africa and Asia, and which at
some time has been prevalent in
modified forms in almost every race.

FRICTION MATCHES.
At First They Were Looked Upol. With
Fear and Distrust.


1t was not until about the year
1888 that the friction method Of
obtaining light began to be devel-
oped and friction matches came into
use. These matches were looked
upon with some distrust at first be-
cause Of the ease with which they
event off" Some feared that they
might $50 off" of their own accord
and burn people out Of house and
home. The conservative still scrap
ed away with his steel and flint,
holding the sulphur dipped stick in
fear and trembling.
One Robert Gibbs tells the story
of the first match he ever saw. A
schoolfellow who had visited Lon
don brought back with him, besides
his stories of that wonderful town,
box of the newly invented
matches. He exhibited them to his
wondering mates and as a great fa-
vor presented one to Gibbs The
boy took his prize home, struck it
in the chimneypiece and gleefully
watched the surprise of his mother.
.'Now you may throw away the
finder box" he said.
'No such a thing" responded the
prudent woman. matches which
light themselves viii find no place
here. Why, some night we might
be burned in our beds! Give me the
finder box"
A Salem (Mass.) newspaper of
June, 1885, speaks apprOvingly of
one Of the inhabitants Of its town:
Notwithstanding the conven-
fence of those dangerous little arti-
cles which are in almost everybOdy's
hands, but which, with all their
charms, bid fair to prove heavy
curse on the community, we learn
there is one man IN Salem, a respec-
table tradesman, who keeps a store
where we should generally expect to
find such things, but who has never
sold them or allowed them to be
used on his premises. He sticks to
the flint, steel and finder. He
shows his wisdom in so doing. How
many more can say as much ?"
