Medicine In Ancient Egypt.
| There Is much evidence iu lnserlp
tious nud manuscripts tlint the ancleut
, Egyptians practiced medicine and sur
, gory extensively. Probably their prac
tice was based on little knowledge of
anatomy Each physician treated only
one or two diseases. The sick were
exposed in public places so that others
. who had suffered similarly might tell
them of helpful remedies. Diseases of
tlie eye were best understood and re
' celved both medical and surgical treat
' meut. The most Important medical
manuscript found in Egypt Is the
i Uapyrus Ebers, written 3<hh.i B. C. and
> discovered In Memphis. Disease, ac
cording to the Egyptians, was due to
the anger of some deity, the result of
the triumph of evil in Its struggle with
, good, an Idea which Is still very gen
eral throughout Africa and Asia and
, which at some time has been prevalent
in modified forms In almost every race.

Long Sieges In Congress.
Samuel J. Randall of Pennsylvania
was an avowed protectionist Democrat
and a rnau who, his colleagues had
learned, usually was able to get his
way. Randall had first entered con
gress lu 1802. He was n unlet, per
sistent, hardworking person who at
tracted little attention for several i
fears. Then the Republicans, sure of j
their majority and wishing to expedite
business, undertook to adopt rules
which would prevent obstruction. The
quiet Mr. Randall set himself against
the attempt. He led the small Demo
cratic majority with a skill so unusual
that more thau once he blocked the
Republicans' way until it was too late j
to pass the measure. His endurance
seemed unlimited. From one session
lasting forty six hours and twenty -live j
minutes, where Randall had forced the [
roll to be called seventy-flve times, he j
came out as fresh as he went lu. At I
another time in the light over the I
force bill he was on the floor for sev- I
eutytwo consecutive hours. ? Ida M.

Pilgrims and Puritans.
The pilgrims, or, as they are often
called, the "pilgrim fathers," were
the seventy-four men and the tweuty

Robinson's church, who sailed In the
Mayflower from Leydeu to North
America and landed at Plymouth Rock,
where they founded a colony Dec. 25.

nonconformists who came over later,
the name being given to them ou ac
