FIND DISEASE IN MUMMY.

Doctors Trace Evidences of Phthisis
and Malaria in Bodies of Ancient
COptS.
CFrom The Journal of the American
Medical A~ssociation.)
This is IN g Of specialism. Some
doctors limit their practice to babies,
some tt old persons, some to a single
any doctor attempted to specialize on
the diseases Of mummies. DR.. Ruff
fer has in the examination Of a large
number of recently discovered num-
mics in Egypt. The conditions Of is
tom and climate which have preserved
the mummies Of old Egypt make it
possible to compare the defects pro-
duced by disease with the manifesto
tons of diseases Of the present day.
Such Investigations have already un-
folded many facts of interest in re-
spect to the existence of disease in by
gone times, and nave contributed i'm
pOrtant facts to the history Of medi-
cine.
The perfect preservation of many Of
the bodies which have become availa-
BILE in Egypt is remarkable. The pecu-
| liaritieS of real mummieS are Wldely
knOWn. COptic bodies which have
recently been examined by Ruffer be-
long to a somewhat different class.
They came from Antinoe, in upper
| ESypC. anu UdtCu HUH liz IIlH ~
sixth century. They were. therefore,
from about 1,400 to 1900 years old.
They had undergone 10 artificial pro-
cess, except that, at one time, they
had been covered with salt. The real
preservative had been the dry Eyyp-
tan sand in which they a original

fins. Never having been by
the embalIler, the organs were all II
position, and the bodies contained nc
resin, gum, or any materials such a:
mud, sand, rags. &C., generally usee
in old Egypt for packing the BODY
after removal Of the organs.

the body from decay, it is surprisin:

Some Birds Stand On One Leg and
Others Swim While Slumbering.

NeWS.t
Most persons probably sleep lying
on the right or left side of the body,
with the knees drawn up toward the
hin. But certain African tribes lie
on the back, and let the head, or
rather the back of the neck, rest
on a bar Of wood that is supported
or two short pillars. The elephant,
apparently invariably, and the horse,
commonly sleep standing. This is
really astonishing. Besides the diff
Guilty OF maintaining the balance of
the body during long periods of un-
consciousness, it would seem that
there must be some necessity for rest
ing the muscles of the legs. Cattle
usually sleep lying down. and during
many hours Of the day they lie down.
More curious still, there are crea-
lures hat sleep while they hang head
downward, suspended by the hind
feet. Among these are the bats. The
hanging parrots Of India and the Ma
layan region have the same strange
habit. In this they differ from all
other birds, which invariably sleep
with the head turned tailward over
the back and the beak thrust in
among the feathers between the wing
and the body-not actually under the
wing, as people generally believe. No
satisfactory explanation has ever beer
offered to acCount for this strange
habit! It is followed ven by the pen
gums, whose feathers are SO short
they do not completely the
beak.
Certain birds sleep while they res
on one leg. That curious pose is best
seen in long-legged birdsfi. like stork:
and gulls. Ducks generally sleep OF
open water: and in order to keel
from drifting shoreward, and there
fore into the danger zone, they paddl
constantly with on foot, so that tn

tOs, or slow lemurs, assume a simila

Lexington, Va, Sept. s.-Former
State Senator George b. keezell, of
Rockingham county, addressed the
citizens of Rockbridge today in the
interest OF Statewide prohibition. He
argued from state Auditor Moore's
report that the loss of revenue from

the taxes of NirE!nians, but granting
that increase followed. he said. the
adop'.e of Statewide prohibition. the
incrc ~se could be only So cents on
the thousand dollars.
He deplored the fact that many
good men were lining up with the sa =
loon people under the Inisaprehen-
sion that personal liberty was in
danger. Senator keezeli urged his
hearers TO stamp the saloon as the
greatest foe of the home and church.
