MEDICAL LORE OF LONG AGO
Ancients Had Their System Of Dealing
with Diseases, as Well as We
Have Ours.

That prehistoric man had ideas on
medicine and surgery Is proved by the
researches now in progress by the dis
tinguished Roman psychologist, Pro
lessor Mosso, in Sicily and Cyprus. In
examining skeletons of men of the
neolithic age, Professor Mosso finds
that tuberculosis must have been of
pr1meval occurrence, judging from the
ankylos1s found in the knee-joint con-
sequent on a so-called white tumor."
A jawbone was found bearing LESSONS
consequent on cancer; but it is an
thrills In every form, central and col
lateral, that has been most often and
most clearly diagnosed. In treating
wounds regular and well understood
system was evidently employed. An
arrowhead, for example, imbedded in a
bone was not extracted, but the So
called cure" took the form of rest
and restorative nourishment for the
sufferer. white tumors" (tuberculo-
sis in origin) were allowed to cure
themselves by ankylosis, resulting in
r1gldity of the joint or limb, only OBJ
tainable by repose and nutriment.
Whether or not other special cures
were in practice cannot be made out
with certainty, thought 1t is significant
that many Of the severely wounded
must have survived their LESSONS and
thata high percentage of fractures must
have been conducted to complete repa-
ration. Skeletons, moreover, are in
evidence with the traces of chronic
surgical maladies, of long duration,
which testify to the patients having
been under some system of cure, pro-
tected in the struggle with the all
ment or even artificially sustained dur
ing its progress.

Persimmons to Be Grown in M.

Persimmon slips and persimmon
seeds in large consignment have
just been received from Japan by the
department of fomento for expert
mentation in the sandy soils of the
warmer sections of Mexico.
The plants were sent directly to the
agricultural stations situated in the
regions where the soil and climate
are deemed adaptable, while the seeds
will be distributed to hacendados on
request. provided these requests come
from sections suited for developing
the trees
The species of persimmon brought
to Mexico for experimentation differs
somewhat from the persimmon of the
United States, being the Japanese
variety known as Kaki Preliminary
experiments appear to have demon
strated that the trees will flourish in
many parts of Mexico and bear large
quantities of fruit.-Mexico Record.

IS RARE QUALITY
FEW MAY HONESTLY CLAIM TO
POSSESS COMMON SENSE.
In Reality 1t is About the Most Un-
common Thing on Earth - Not
Likely Ever to Be Gen
eraI.

The only thing that has never be-
come common is common sense. 1t
remains rare when all other qualities
can be picked up by the wayside.
Half the dictionaries do not attempt
to define it, so elusive is the trait, the
New York Evening Sun says. Per-
sons hazily say: "Comon sense is
horse sense" and vaguely feel that
they have somehow failed to state
fully its exact characteristics. A num-
Der of instances can be cited where
common sense was displayed, and
quite a lot of persons claim distant
relatives who were generally supposed
to possess the quality. But this is
about as near to it as it is possible to
get. Geniuses are all over everything;
one is obliged to step carefully to
avoid treading on them Poets, poll
ticians, reformers, men of mark
they block traffic. and as for play
wrfghts and noEelists and singers.
1T is as much as one can do to
breathe, they so clog the atmosphere.
Only common sense is unusual, and by
its skittishness prompts us to find it.
1t may have been killed out in the
large centers by the reigning passion
for phraseology. A certain homeli-
ness and succintness is necessary
accompaniment of common sense;
home truth crudely-a little rudely-
clinging to it. A touch of nature,
bluntly applied to artificial complica-
lions, sending them hurrying about
their business. This type of speech,
which is to say type of mind, perhaps
exists in the quiet corners Of the
earth, parts where they nasally ejac-
ulate, mo tomfoolishness around
here" Yet common sense is not a
mental dialect. 1t is rudimentary
mode of thought, simple vision, and
we in the big cities are barely ac-
quainted with it because we find sim
plicity woefully dull. To speak sim
ply, one must have something to say;
there are apt to be tiresomely long
pauses between talks. Consequently
we console ourselves with method and
though we have nothing to say, we
make a point of saying it excessively
we'll. We adorn it until one cannot
be quite sure that it does not under
its charm of phrase mean something.
At any rate, the form is too good to-
ever break it and brutally search its
kernel So common sense retains its
rarity and though one knows so little
about it one has strong feeling that
there is a very slight possibility of
its ever becoming really common.

Whisky and PLEDGE.

The popular Broadway drug store
hutnmed with the chatter of matinee
crowd. Presently all voices ceased
but one. A man was talking at an
open telephone
"Hcllo!" he said rs this Blanks
pawnshop? What rate of interest do
you charge month? Thank you. Do
you ever take whisky? Yes. whisky.
I've got a gallon jugful of the finest
old Kentucky rye you ever tasted
don't want to sell it, but I'd like to
raise little money on it for few
days. Oh! You don't make loans Of
anything of that kind. Pm sorry
Maybe somebody else. Goodby."
When that man left the store the
women accompanying the other three
men present had to hang onto their
coattails to keep them from following
him.

Women are won't to say that they
dress for the men. believe they do;
also for themselves; also for other
women says. Erman j. Ridgway. 10
The Delineator for August. ! don't
believe one man In thousand can
appreciate an elaborate gown. MOST
men, l think, like simpler effects. A
gaudly overdressed woman makes her
escort painfully self-con scious, II he
be a ge ltleman. But all men can
and do appreciate the ensemble Of a
beautiful face and beautiful figure
beautifully gowned. And the simpler
the gown the greater the appreciation.
The best dressers realize this. Iheard
of one recently whose parting injunc-
tion to her tailor was, "Spare no ex-
pense TO make it simple"
Why is it that trained nurses are so
attractive? l never saw an unattrac-
tive one, and some of them are "a joy
forever" Is 1t health? Their study
has taught them how to take care Of
themselves. Is 1t their immaculate
costumes? Why shouldn't everybody
be aseptically clean? Is it their mis-
sion that appeals TO our sentiment?
Why shouldn'teveryody have mis-
sion? After all isn't that our real
measure Of beauty?
How too often have seen beauti-
full face, glowing with health, and
had the surface beauty sadly marred
for me by discovering an insipid brain
inside. 1t is the same with men.
