HERMAN WILEY INJURED
WHILE OUT HUNTING

Herman Wiley, of near Bridgeville,
was injured on Wednesday, the first
day of the open cunning season, when
his gun accidentally discharged. VIII
ley, in company with his father and a
party of friends, was hunting. He was
carrying his gun with the barrel
pointed down toward the ground. In
some manner the gun was discharged,
and the load of shot took affect in
his right foot. Wiley was taken to
the Office of DR.. Palmer, Of Bridge
Vile, who gave him first aid treat
ment, and sent him to the Marshall
Hospital, in Milford. At the hospital
it was found necessary to amputate
two toes. The wound was very bad
one, and it will be some time before
it will heal sufficiently to allow the
injured man to be about again. Wiley
is about 20 years Of age.

ANClENTs HAD WATER GUAGES
Egyptian River Surveyors Enabled to
ForetelI Hour of lnundation OF
the River Nile.

Nilometers were among the most an
cient water gauges, and were used by
the Egyptians many centuries b. G.
Stone wells were constructed on the
banks of the Nile, and water entered
these through underground bitches.
This water rose and fell in sympathy
with the river, enabling river survey
ors government Officers) to foretell
the hour of inuDdatiOn.
Marked columns on the sides of each
well indicated the maximum, minimum
and middle gauge: the inspectors pa
trolled the banks of the Nile and In
formed the people by means of bull
letins in advance how high the Nile
would rise and when the stream would
probably overflow its banks.
Lake Moeris, in Lower Egypt, was
connected with the Nile in ancient
days by one of the many canals for
which the ancient Babylonian and
Egyptian engineers are now famous.
This canal was equipped with sluices
and gauges. so that the land around
it was never flooded. If the Nile
rose, all that happened was that the
blue crystal mirror of the lake rose
too. If the waters of the river fell,
then the lake filled them up by care
full manipulation of it's sluices and its
own waters.

A well-known judge in Ireland was

story to his friends: 1t was at the

when he was leaving the law courts
Dublin, Il sweep accuSted him and ad
dressed him with familiarity. 'Be off,
ye dirty scoundrel," said the judge. 81

'oner. Oi swept yer 'oner's chimneys."
"Oh, it was you, was it? I'll never EN-
ploy you again." replied the judge.
You did the work badly and they've
smoked ever since. I'll never have you
again" "Oh, yes ye will, yer 'oner,'
replied the man. "And l tell you
won't" angrily answered his lord
ship The sweep persisted that he
would he employed again, So the Judge
asked why. saying there were plenty
of other sweeps in Ireland. Sure, yer

Bath a Japanese Institution.

From the very earliest days baths

Japan. And at Il time in European his

we're requesting their courtiers to use
perfumes to cuunteract the lack of
bathing, the Japanese, high and low

baths, which are still to be found in

In one of the earliest books. called
the "Wakm Shiori." the Detroit News
observes, ii is stated that the "Guva"
the hot water house"-is a sacred
house, in the book called the "reijoz-

This also has double meaning.
"Dyinking water or 'place for max
ing hot water" and from this latter
meaning there comes the use Of it to
denote 'bathing place" But the word

kitchen where hot water was pre-
pared. All these books were written
