Its Maintenance is Essential to the

It may be conceded that certain i'm
perfections existed in the presidents
tariff board which ended Its brief ca
reer on June 80 last because the ma.
tional house OF representatives de
clined to appropriate funds for its
continuance. Reports framed by It,
for instance. were made to the presi.
dent and by him forwarded to con
gress, the reason being that the board
was responsible to the president and
not at all to congress. Again. the
board owed its existence to rather

ton of clause in the maximum tariff
section of the Payne-Aldrich law.
That the conscientious and valuable
research work done by the board. how
ever. demonstrates the need for scien

revision can hardly be gainsaid. Credi,
should therefore be given to the sen
ate for having restored TO the sundry

MEDICAL SCIENCE IN NlNEVEH
Prescriptions Of Time OF sardanapa'
lus, $50 3. c.-Faith Healing
Practiced.

The patient work of the archaelo-
gist enabled people in 1911 to form a
very fair idea of medical science as 1t
existed in Nineveh $50 years before
the birth of Christ.
OF the 10000 tablets taken from the
library of Assurbanipal. the great
king of Assyria, who conquered Egypt
and Babylonia and established his sub.
iects in the deserted cities of Samaria,
hundreds deal exclusively with medi-
cine and contain numerous prescrip'
tons:
If man has collie make him stand
m and pour over him a decoction of
hvnericum and he will recover.
Or make him crouch down on his
heels and pour cold water over his
head.
Faith healing seems to be indicated
In a prescription which runs, eff he Is
in a weak state, make him bend down,
then raise his legs, and say: May you
get quite WE'LL Strike him also on
The head ID times with your thumb"
Many prescriptions deal with the
cnre of disorder which was very
common at Nineveh, and which seems
TO have been due to overtndulgence
in food and drink: when a man is
bilious rub him with an onion. and let
him drink nothing but water and alb
stain from food altogether"
Among the medicines used by the
physicians at Nineveh were sesame.
olive oil castor oil, syrup of dates,
honey and salt Fasting and massage
were frequently ordered.-New York

telling secrets to the trees" as
| Mamie called 1t.
Ten or twelve years ago the silk
gown which Grace wore had been
familiar TO Mary, for Jennie had
worn 1t that fatal summer when she
won Jim's love. Even now, with the
gray in her hair, Mary felt the old
pain fresh at the sight of the hated
raiment, Jennie had worn that very
dress the night she delivered Marys
note asking Jim to meet her at the
foot of the orchard under their par
ticular tree, where Jim had con-
structed a bench and where they
often sat on summer evenings.
On that summer evening Mary had
gone to the trysting place and waited
with her heart full of love and joy.
But jim did not come, and when
deeply hurt Mary returned to the
/ house, he was leaning over the front
gate talking earnestly to Jennie,
Later Jennie told her that Jim had
sent her a message saying that he
had decided he had nothing particu
lar to say to her.
See, Aunt Mary, isn't my dress
full? It's lots wider'n Grace's.
Maybe, tbs, but my dress has got
pocket" rejoined Grace, "a real
deep one You can't get to the bot
tom, Auntie, you feel and see If it
has bottom"
Absently Mary put her hand into
the pocket of Jennie's dress Her
fingers touched something that re
sisted, and she reached again to draw
out two letters-Jennie's love letters
no doubt But no. She clutched them
wildly. One was Jim's note to her
asking for meeting. She remem-
bered she had hunted in vain for it
after the evening in the orchard But
the other letter was her answer, and
that answer had never been opened
jim had not received it.
Suddenly a hundred little incidents
crowded to her mind that MAGE IT
clear what part Jennie had taken in
her life and Jim's. Then rush OF
gladness came over her. How she had
misjudged JIM
Mary could have laughed aloud as
she thought of Jim and how she
could make up to him for his years
of puzzled wonder. Then she looked
at the little girls staring at her alb
straction and began to unfold plan
that delighted them.
When Jim Bomar came home from
his afternoons work he could hardly
believe the evidence of his senses.
An immaculate kitchen gave forth
the odor of such supper as only
good housewife could prepare. In
swept and garnished living room his
two girls were dancing about a pref
tily laid supper table. And beside
the table stood Mary, his sweetheart,
the woman he had always loved;
Mary with a smile on her face and
a light in her eyes as she stretched
hand to Jim and said:
'T came over to stay to supper, Jim.
Am l welcome?"
The light in Jim's face was answer
to that question even before his
tongue stammered out eagerly vel
come in words.
In the late twilight he went with
Mary over the path that only the
children's feet had pressed for so
long time and his eloquent eyes
told the story. Silently they took
their way along the fragrant path
until Jim touched Mary softly on the
arm and said:
Mary, this Is our tree. See, 1t Is
all in glorious bloom. Won't you
sit DOWN."
And the apple blossoms wasted
their fragrance and their petals on
two unheeding figures while the
years of misunderstanding and pain
were swept away to make room for
the love that was to illumine all the
future.
