Charles Lamb, speaking Of his life
with his sister Mary, after these two
gentle and sensitive souls had lived
ogether and for each other for twenty
7ears, once said: 1--WE two house to-
yether, old bachelor and old maid, IN
4 sort Of double singleness; while l,
'or one, find no disposition to go out
1pon the mountains with the kings
ash offspring to bewail my celibacy.
And we agree very well, too; but once
when l spoke to her in kinder voice
han usual she burst into tears and
said l was much altered for the
worse). I read my old Burton and she
.eads stories with plenty of life IN

out that which was good and veneer
able to her in her childhood she loves
still. and will play no tricks with her
understanding or her heart"

The Flemish form of the name Flan-
ders Is Vlaenderen, and the word
means the country Of the Flemish. The
Flanders of the Middle ages was
self-governing countship. that Is,
country whose ruler was count. but
at times 1t was under the suzerainty
Of France, and sometimes under that
Of the empire, which then included
the .Germanic states. The Flanders
Of the Middle ages is today divided be-
tween France and Belgium, the great
er part being included in Belgium. and
two provinces in the western part OF
the latter country are known as East
and West Flanders, the latter froItiag
on the North sea. Practically 81 t-Ae
country that formed the Flanders OF
the Middle ages is low and level
hence it was commonly called the Low

E,o the Snake Couldn't Break

One day while group of children
were searching for birds nests among
the hills of north Georgia, writes a
contributor to the Youths Companion,
they discovered a large snake tightly
wound round the limb Of an apple
tree. They called to 5. gardener and,
after he had knocked the snake from
the tree. found to their establishment
that it could creep but slowly, for in
the middle of its body was large
lump. The gardener killed the snake
and then opened it. The children
guessed many things about the lump,
but it proved to be china nest egg
from the henhOuse. The snake had
been trying to crush the egg by squeez-
ing it against the limb.

Elizabeth and Robert Browning.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning, consid-
cred the greatest woman poet that
England has produced, was the wife
Of Robert Browning, distinguished
English poet. Their marriage was the
result Of call Robert Browning made
on Miss Barrett in 1874 to thank her
for a compliment she paid him in one
Of her poems. Friendship grew into
mutual love, and in 1846 they were
married. Their life together was very
beautiful, Mrs. Browning's only grief
being that her father was opposed to
the marriage, and never forgave her.
After the marriage the two poets lived
in Italy, where Mrs. Browning's health
was far better than in England. Her
death in 1861 was a shock from which
Browning never completely recovered.
He afterward returned to Mngland.

The Dead Letter Office has been in
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr.. Ezekiel

pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zeke's address in

full of 'em, but then 1t was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New

Restoration of Youth

Chicago, June II (By the Associ-
youth to the aged, attempted recently
by means of animal glands, was also
tempted at least 5000 years ago,
according to DR.. James ii. Breasted
f the University of Chicago. An en-
'antatlon of Transforming an Old
Man into Youth of Twenty" is sci
forth in the Edwin Smith papyrus,
thc Egyptian document which DR..
breasted has declared contains unpar-
aileled evidence Of advanced l;nowi-
edge and scientific spirit on the part
Il Egyptian physicians of 1900 B. c.
rr earlier. The incantation, on the
contrary, he said, is characterized by
reliance on hocus-pocus. DR.. Breast
ld's theory is that an extraordinary
Il ok on surgery and external medicine
icll into the hands of a quack who was
more interested in charms for making
old men young, and who had the in
i"nGruous texts combined in the same
iol. Thus in the papyrus magical
iormulae jostle an exposition of deli
cate surgical operations heretofore be-
Eeved to be decidedly modcrn.
The handwriting indicates that il
was probably written about 1900 B. c..
and it is thought to be a copy of a
manuscript that is at least thousand
ycars older. The original may have
been written as early as 34OO B. c.,
It is thought by some of the words
which appear in the manuscript and
which were long out of vogue in 1900
B. G..
The manuscript also contains 9Th"
incantation of Expelling the Wind OF
,he Year of Pest" This shows the
widely prevalent notion which has per
sisted to the present day that the
winds winds carry malignant plaques.
The last two parts Of the papyrus are
written in very different handwrit-
ing from the front page. -.
The columns in front treat of the
head, then the lower head, the mouth,
The neck, and the spine. Here the
papyrus stops but it is evident thai
the remainder treated the lower body.
The first group of ten cases which
are described treat of wounds of the
head of which seven are knife and
sword wounds. The surgeon is in
structed how to probe the wound and
IN case of a severe knife wound told
You should have made for him a

The Kaiser has completed his me
moirs, and having lone so, finds there
is little demand for the story of his
life. No doubt this self-centered man
who plunged the world into the most
horrible war ever known, will not
understand it, but the fact remains
that the world has moved forward
some distance since the German en-
peror sat upon the throne Not many
years have elapsed, it is true; but a
wide distance away from dcSpOtic
government has been attained during
that period. The memoirs are said to
devote only three out of the Is chap
tcrs to discussion of the war. 1t is
said that even in these chapters he
seeks to cXculpatc himself from re-
sponSibiiity for what happened and TO
disclose few facts not already known
to the world. Poor old Wilhelm! IIc
does not realize that fallen idol lies
unnoticcd along the pathway. lie
perhaps has less to tell, less real
knowledge of the situation TO disclose
than men who never occupied such an
exalted position as did this mighty
ruler
