"KNOCKED OUT" THE PATIENT
Surgeons of Ancient Egypt Had Sim.
pie but Most Effective Way Of
Administering Anesthetic.

The use of anestheticS in surgical
operations is not modern invention.
Surgeons of bygone days knew OF
anesthetics and used them thousands
of years ago, according to an article
in Hearst's International Magazine. =
They trephined skulls, they ampu-
tated arms legs and performed the
Ceasarian operation and they did all
these things with the help Of aues-
theticS
Those ancient masters OF surgery
sere without the very valuable chlOro-
form and ether of modern times, They
most commonly used vegetable drugs,
such MS morphine and hasheesh, or al
c6hol. The leaves Of plants containing
cocaine were preferred by the ancient
races of South America
The surgeons of ancient Egypt prob
ably the most skilled of antiquity, had
a method of their own at once more
direct and spectacular. They hit the
patient on the head with a club and
operated while h@ was "Out" as re-
suit of the blow
Wooden blocks were fitted to the
head to save injury to scalp and skin,
and the mallet which hit the block
was also made of wood.
The art of hitting just hard enough
and at exactly the best point was a
delicate one, and no doubt, the expert
at this scientific black-acking was as
much respected in ancient Egypt as is
the skilled anesthetist today in New
York or Paris.

A Question of
Furniture
By H. IRVING KING

Charles and Marian had been get
ting along beautifully. Furniture was
the rock on which they split. or
rather-to improve the metaphor-fur-
niture was the rock which divided the
stream of their tranquil love and split
ii into two angry torrents. 1t Is al
ways sad when loves young dream
gets sundered In this way. They were
humble people, Charles Corbin and
Marian Clay. He was a bookkeeper
working in the city ten miles away,
and she assisted" at the soda water
fountain at the village pharmacy.
Ii was over the great marble coun-
ter In front Of the fizzing fountain that
Charles fell in love with her. To see
Marian draw raspberry plain" or
concoct a chocolate sundae was to see
Hebe herself dispensing the nectar Of
the gods. AT least that was the way
1t seemed to Charles. Their c0urtship
had been a long one, for they had both
been saving up to start housekeeping.
And now Charles father had given
him a pretty cottage. Both Charles
and Marian had each q nice little nest
egg laid aside 50 they fixed the day
and began to buy furniture for their
nest with their nesteggs. Marian's
parents app ed and so did the
parents of Charles. Charles received
a raise of salary and Marian gave up
her place at the soda water fountain
The buying of the furniture for the
new home was perfect plenishing
orgy with the lovers They spent car
fare recklcssly and wandered from one
city furniture shop TO another until

ter She would take proper advice
Charles wrote back stliily begging
that she would consider the furgituIe
as hers entirely. II might come In
handy when she was married to some
one more worthy of her than himself.
To this she replied that after that she
would have nothing whatever to do
with the "old furniture" But some
how she forgot to send him her KEY
for the cottage.
Charles father said: well, WE'LL
marry the girl or not, just as you
please-but It's always best to let the
woman run the house. They will da
1t anyway" Marlan's mother SAID
MY dear. it's always best to humor
men in little things-it makes them
much easier to manage
The cottage was all ready for oc-
cupancy-an ready except that fatal
corner which, bare and blank, seemed
TO be casting a blight over the untn-
habited house. one evening, Marian
stole to the cottage, let herself In with
her KEY and turned on the electric

even had the electric meter installed
and sat down. in an armchair 10 gaze
at the vacant corner. How we'll she
remembered the day she and Charles
had bought that armchair, and how
happy they had been in the selecting
Of It. She sighed, fixed her eyes upon
the corner and pictured to herself how
hideous that gilt mahogany pedestal
would look there and how sweet that
triangular table.
1t was about week after this and
a dark stormy night when a military
figure might have been seen stealing
through the obscurity toward the I'M
occupied cottage. II was Charles Cor
bin, and he bore in his arms an awk-
ward burden wrapped In burlap. He
let himself into the front hall and
opened the living room door The
room was blaze of light which the
closed blinds and drawn curtains had
prevented him from noticing from the
outside There was little scream o.
surprise and alarm and there stood
Marian Clay with one hand on gilt
mahogany pedestal which she had just
placed in the heretofore vacant cor
ner.
Marian" cried Charles. and dropped
his burden so suddenly that part of
the wrappings came off, revealing a
little three-cornered table-the very
one Marian had longed for Whether
the pedestal or the table ultimately
stood in the corner is a question we
leave in the same condition as Stock
ton left his celebrated question Of

ENGLAND TOPSYTURVY.

their designations to the king. From
this distance it looks like downfall
for the government.
Lloyd George is of and for the people

War. Like Lincoln, he was man born

George will remain formidable figure,

who hope that he will be spared for a

they had examined and discussed
enough sofas, chairs, tables, etc, etc,
to have furnished the city hall They
agreed wonderfully well upon their
selections, and when there happened
to be a little difference of opinion
upon the ACCESSIBILITY of buying any
certain piece they had a charming way
of giving in to each other Until il
came to a question of one corner of
the living room, then there came a
jangling chord in the harmony; the
music of their lives was iazzed Mar,
ian wanted to buy for that fatal cor
ner q little three-cornered table they
had seen. in one of the city shops,
while Charles decidedly fancied for the
position one of those atrocious imita,
ton mahogany pedestals with gilt
trimmings. In a vision he saw himself
able at some future time to place a
marble bust upon possibly one that
resembled Marian.
But that's such a cheap-looking
thing said Marian, referring to the
pedestal.
but it isn't cheap, my dear" re-
piled Charles; at is marked"
II don't care what it costs" retorted
Marian ut looks cheap, and besides,

Charles a letter saying that "all was

Of taste and character" was apparent
