C. In European museums are instruments, lancet' tweezers, iron rods for cauter ization and other things used by Egyp tian practitioners. Jewish aud Greek surgery immedi ately followed that of the Egyptians, and surgery was held in high esteem among the Indians at a remote age, as proved by their ancient proverb, "A physician who is no surgeon is like a Bird with but one wing.” Instruments aow on exhibition at Madras, Calcutta snd Alexandria afford evidence of their skill. In Greece surgery bad attained high proficiency long before the day of Hip >crates, and in one of his works is found a complete treatise on the physi cian's operating room, surgical instru ments and appliances, together with ustructiun in the correct method of use: on the proper posing of the pa tient. aud the use of water and band .i ge». Then follows a description of various wounds, from which it would dpltear that hemorrhages were arrest -*d then, as now. with cold compress r styptics, w bile wounds were healed by primary union or suppuration. Lesion of the joints, injuries to the spine and various kinds of dislocations are dealt with. Hippocrates' surgery treats instructively on fractures and contusions of the skull. For fractures the standard operation was trephin ing. which, in the view of the writer, should be performed as speedily as possible. With the development of Roman sur gery from the time of Galen, the variety of instruments used increased to the number of 300. Among examples •f these now in the museums of Rome ind Nai>les are needles, hollow probes. ■ moors, cauteries, bistouris, lancers VENTILATION By DR. SAMUEL G. DIXON. Commissioner of Health of Pennsyl vania. The question of proper ventilation during the winter months is one which it is quite difficult lor many people to solve. It is apparent to almost every body that the ad mission of pure air is necessary if efficient work is to be performed in office and school and if re refreshing sleep is desired by night. The fresh P*-nd uj«*n the temi>ernture and can be supplied by a proper heating and ventilating system. The opening of windows while it admits the fresh air, often causes drafts which are uncomfortable, not to say injurious. Where a number of f>enple are occupied in a room it is dteu a cause of subjecting one or two to exposure if the windows are ojK’ned to secure ventilation. This can be avoided by an ample supply of wann ed air. Numerous devices, more or less ex tensive. have been placed on the mar ket but are not always satisfactory. Th - most economical and at the same time probably the most efficient ven tilating device is one made of glass or wood eight or ten it hes in height and made the width of the sash. This should be placed under the sash with i slant from the bottom to the top at ;-n angle of 4-> degrees, leaving an opening at the top covered with cheese doth. Ventilators of this sort are so sim ple that they can be made at small cost anywhere and the covering can be readily replaced. They are suitable for office and school room, living rooms and bed rooms. They permit reasonable ventilation without too great a loss of heat and prevent that stuffiness of atmosphere which is dan gerous to health and destructive to real comfort during the winter months. This device leaves an opening between the upper and lower sash through which the used air of the room muy escape. Ancient Shrine Is Found. , Ore of the most important archeo logical discoveries of recent years has just been made at Gonnoi. near the vale of Tempe in Thessaly. The archeological society has just un earthed what is plainly a sanctuary to the Goddess Artemis and among the articles found on the spot are some of the most remarkable votive offerings yet discovered. One hundred and thirty-eight niar ole shafts bear inscriptions, from which it is plain that the shrine was devoted to Artemis as a goddess of •hildbirth, “Artemis geuitrix.” and scissors. For almost a thousand years the treatment of wounds, frac tures and dislocations varied by blood letting, remained unchanged. Under the Byzantines, medical serv ice. including every appliance for the treatment of disease and wounds, was well organized, cavalry and infantry alike being supplied with a company of surgeons and assistants whose duty it was to bring the wounded out of action. Strangely enough, surgery, suffering from the general superstitious horror of the knife, save in conflict, which pervaded the early people of all lands, continued for many centuries to be despised by physicians, professional standing being denied to the men who healed wounds and set fractured limbs. It was not until the sixteenth cen tury that surgery shared in the ad vance common to every art and science, its practitioners correspond ingly improving their social and pro fessional position. In this reform the day was led by Paris, with her Col lege of Surgeons, founded in 11179. Berlin and Rome followed her example 300 years later. In the eighteenth century London. Edinburgh and Dublin were added to the various centers of surgical learn ing, while America, leader of all other countries in these days, laid the foun dation of her proficiency in the school established by Doctor Shippen at Phil adelphia. a § * Mothers’ Cook Book S £ Just being happy is a fine tiling to do: Looking on the bright side Rather than the blue. Sad or sunny musing Is largely in the choosing. And just being happy Is brave work and true. Good Family Dishes. Corn meal, if well cooked, makes one of the most nutritious and econo mical of breukfast dishes and if served with a good baked apple it is a break- | fast sufficiently nutritious for a grow ing child. When cooking corn meal ' mix it with cold water to the consis- ! teney of pouring, then pour into a ket tle of boiling salted water, enough to cook at least three hours at the sim mering point. See that the meal rap idly boils, then set hack to simmer. When cooked with plenty of water each grsiin of corn meal will stand out | by itself just as does rice v. hen well i cooked. A fireless cooker is an ideal place for this kind of cooking, yet the evaporation of water is limited so that must be lessened. Corn Gems. Beat the yolks of two eggs aud add j a cupful of milk, a half teasponufui ] of salt, a tablespoonful of melted but- ; ter and a cupful of corn meal. Beat the mixture well, then add a half cup ful of flour with a teaspooaful ol bak ing powder. Fold in the well beaten 'Vhiies of the eggs and bake for JO minutes in a hot oven, using 1J gem pans. Coccanut Egg Curry. I’ut two lablespoonfuls of olive oil or butter into a saucepan; when hot. add four tablespoonfuls of chopped onion, stir until the onion is soft, add a tea spoonful of curry powder, the same amount of chopped red pepper and a chopi>ed or finely grated cocoa nut. Add a cupful of the cocoanut milk and cook slowly one hour. Dish and serve with poached eggs. Boiled rice, baked apples, stewed rhubarb or chutney go well with this dish. Codfish Croquets. One cupful of raw salt fish, two and a quarter cupfuls of potato cubes, one egg. one tablespoonful of butter and salt and pepper to season. Put the potatoes and fish into a saucepan and cover with l toiling water, cook until the potatoes are tender, drain and mash, add the seasonings, salt, pepper, eggs, and butter and l<eat until light, drop by spoonfuls into hot fat.

A man isn't necessarily two-faced because he lias a double chin. When st woman hasn’t any more to say she is willing to let a man talk. Don’t follow in the footsteps of com petitors: set the pace.

Dinosaur of Ancient Days Mere Pygmy by Side of the Blue Whale of Modern Times It has been said that the first duty of a whale is to he large—the blue whale is. then, the most successful whale, for It is the largest creature which has ever existed on the earth or in its waters. Even those extinct giant reptiles, the dinosaurs, which splashed along the borders of the inland seas of Wyoming and Montana 3.000.000 years ago, could not approach a blue whale either in length or weight, declares a writer in the New York Independent. In 1903 a blue whale was weighed in sections in Newfoundland. The ani mal was 7S feet long, 35 feet around the shoulders, the head was 19 feet In length and the tail six feet from tip to tip. The total weight was 63 tons. The flesh weighed 40 tons, the blubber eight tons, the blood, viscera and baleen seven tons and the bones eight tons. Exaggerated accounts of the size of blue whales are current even in repu table hooks on natural history, but the largest specimen which has yet been actually fheasured and recorded is 187 feet long, stranded a few years ago upon the coast of New Zealand; it must have weighed at least 75 tons.
