The Used a File In Trepanning Op erations In Hipocrates' Time. There is no douj, that smiie rough form of surgery iiiust have existed from very ancient times, but it is strange to find that so complex and delicate au operation as trepanning is one of the oldest. So far as actual records go, Hippo crates gives us the earliest account, lie wrote treatises on fractures, dislo cations and wounds of the head, in which he described the method of pro cedure to le followed in the ense of a fractured skull. His direction was to cut away a piece of bone so that the pressure on the brain might be re lieved. There are also records about this time and later of a tile being used for this purpose, which at a time when anaesthetics were undreamed of must have been, to say the least, painful. According to Dr. T. Rice Holmes, the operation of removing pieces of bone was performed long before historic times. The effects on the skull are easily seen after death and nre visible so long as the bones are preserved. From inspection of certain skulls of the later stone age in ancient Iiritain Dr. Holmes has come to the conclusion that some of these had undergone the operatiou, which must have been per formed with a stone implement. Lon don Standard. WATER OF l HE WORLD. What Will We Do When the Population Outgrows the Rainfall? Dr. MeUee, au American scientist, "who follows the form of investigation that uses weighing scales for testi monyscales that cannot lie," has found that the average individual uses directly or Indirectly about 4,400 tons of water every year. He drinks a ton. The vegetables he consumes require about 400 tous for their growth, and his annual meat supply of 200 pounds uses up no less than 4,000 tons of water. Using this figure as a basis. Dr. Mc Gee shows that when the population of the United States has reached 1.017, 000,000, which he thinks will occur about A. D. 2210, every drop of t)io annual rainfall will be required to maintain the food supply, and no fur ther Increase of Inhabitants will be possible. The present inhabitants of the entire world, estimated at almtit 1,500,000,000, can be Increased to 20,000,000,000 If the total annual rainfall of earth re mains as it Is today that Is, thirteen times the present population will crowd the earth to its limit. Dr. MeGee's estimates, however, leave quite out of nccount the ques tion of tapping the oceans, which Is at least a possibility. Loudon Magazine. A DONATION Bv OLIVER . LARNED "You think you would make a good burglar, do you never get caught and all that? I'd like to see you try tu A silk stocking like you would soon be taken. You wouldn't have the coolnesb to save yourself.". "I wouldn't mind trying It Just once." "I'll give you an Inducement. I'll bet you a hundred you won't go Into the bouse of some emineutly respectable family whom you don't know, mind you and rob them of some article." "That's Just the kind of a job I'd like to try. The danger In it would make it fearfully interesting." "And if you got caught it would give you au excellent opportunity to snow your presence of mind." "So it would. 1 think I'll go you." "Here's my check. We'll put the stakes In Hawkins" hands." This dialogue occurred between Dick Thurston and Ned Chambertin at a club, and the next night Charnberhn in evening dress sallied forth to burglar ize a gentleman's dwelling. He walked slowly up u ii aristocratic avenue, and. selecting a house midway between two street lamps and standing well buck in shadow, he entered the yard and. tak ing the parts of a burglar's jimmy from dis side pocket, began to screw them together in order to secure the length of handle required for leverage. Then, mounting a side porcc, he pried up a window and entered u room. He stood listening tor awhile, but, bearing no sound, began to explore. A faint light Iroin without barely en abled him to move without stumbling against anything, and he got bis band ou a large uncovered table. Suspect ing he was in a drawing room, he was hunting for the sideboard, when there was a sudden burst of light. A young lady stood at the door of the room, with ber finger on an electric button. She appeared astonished, not at find ing some one In the room, but some one in evening costume. Chamberliu braced himself for the encounter. It was his right, under the provisions of the bet. to tell any story be pleased, and he decided to tell the true one. "I beg pardon for the trespass." he said, "but 1 nm sure that is. if you nre a woman of the world 1 shall bave your sympathy afier you bave beard the reason for my being here. Last night at the club 1 bet a friend a hundred dollars that 1 would bur glarize a dwelling, bringing bira some stolen article to prove the robbery. If you will permit me to take away a spoon 1 will be happy to donate my winnings to any charity you may suggest." The girl by this time had regained her composure, for Chamberlin spoke softly and did not seem one to be afraid of. Nevertheless she consider ed him to be one of those villains who dress themselves like gentlemen for the purpose of aiding tbem to hood wink whoever they may meet. She pretended to believe his story and. go Ing to a sideboard, opened a drawer and took out a silver spoon with the family Initial letter ou it This she tossed on the dining table and stood waiting for him to withdraw. He saw by the pallor on her face and other signs that she was badly frightened, and be felt a pang at having caused ber an noyance. So Instead of going at once be stopped to reassure her. Taking a card from his pocket and a pencil, be asked her to what institution he should send a donation. She was not especially interested In any and for a moment could not think of any. While she was trying to do so an elderly gentleman, with a gray mustache, step ped into the room. The girl turned paler still. If thnt were possible, fearing that the story would not go down with the new comer and there would be trouble. "Uncle." she said, "this gentleman bas made a bet that be would rob this house." "Indeed!" said the uncle quietly. "Yes. at the club. He Is to win $100 and give it to auy charity 1 may suggest." "A hundred dollars! That's no price for a gentleman burglar to pay for the privilege of robbing a house. He might have got away with $5,000 or $0,000 worth of property. Couldn't you make It $1,000. sir?" Chamberlin was very rich, but rich men don't like to part with their mon ey any better than poor men. He said he might double the amount of bis winnings. The gentleman stepped to a telephone In the ball and called for a police station. Chamberlin was cornered. , He called out that be would make bis donation $1,000. "I have called the police." said the gentleman; "It will now cost $2,000." "Done!" cried Chamberlin, fearing that before he could assent the price of bis experiment would go op another thousand. "All right," remarked the gentleman. "Never mind the police. Have you a blank check In yonr pocket, sir? If so please make the amount payable to St. Luke'R hospital." Chamberlin, who carried a check book always with hlra. wrote n check for $2,000 and handed it to the gen tleman. who took it and said: "Gwendolln. this Is Mr. Chamberlin. I met him once at his club, but he bas forgotten me. He can afford to pay for any freak In wblcb be may cboose to Indulge." "Goodness gracioui!" from Owen. ' Italy's Lucky tramps. Th State Shelters Them and Food and DnnK Come Easy. Assuredly the tramp in Italy is a man to be envied! Save for a coat to his back and shoes to his feet there are few things which he need worry atiout as he passes from village to vil lage in that country of blue skies and sunshine. Food he can tind in the vineyards and on the fig trees, drink is obtainable almost for nothing, so plen tiful is wine, and shelter is provided for him gratis by a benevolent gov ernment. "I was ofien struck during my re cent Journey in northern Italy by the delightful public dormitories which are erected by the roadsides throughout the country, especially in the valleys leading from the Mediterranean coast to the hill towns of Liguria. I visited a donnitorio publico on the highway near Cnmporosso. In the Ner via valley, and surely no wayfarer could desire n more charming resting place. The authorities have placed It under the shade of the olive trees, so that, however hot the sun may be, the footsore traveler can obtain his much needed siesta in a perfectly cool place. It looked o attractive, stand ing there in the shade, that 1 myself was almost tempted to escape from the sunshine and seek refuge beneath its hospitable roof." Wide World Magazine. SCOTCH TERRIERS. Their Origin and the Conditions That Made Them a Necessity. In nmieiit times each district in the highlands had its "todhunter," whoe duty it was to see carefully to it that the then nourishing firm of fox, otter and company did not do a too prosper ous business in lamb and poultry. Sometimes these todhuntcrs were of "the laird's men," sometimes they were supported by the whole community of small farmers and grazers, but always they were local dignitaries. There was honor and considerable profit in their office, mid in time it came to be more or less hereditary. Their duty was simple. They waged a war of extermi nation against the vermin, which, how ever, was n very different matter from the good old English sport of fox. hunt ing. In the rough country horse and hound would have been worse than useless, and Heynard made his deu In such rocky ground that he could not be dug out. The solo solution was a dog small enongh to follow the fox or otter or badger or wild cat into his lair, I strong enough to bring him out dead or alive and game enough to do both. A dog developed from this necessity, and that dog was the ancestor of the pres ent day Scottish terrier. William Uaynes iu Outing. Water at Meals. There Is a very popular fallacy abroad namely, that a person should never drink water with his meals. There is one and only one danger in this. That is the temptation to wash down half masticated food with water. There is one distinct advantnge in the digestion of food when water is taken with the meals. As food is swallowed it goes to the stomach In a lump about the consistency of a bread dressing. Ono can see that it requires a great length of time for the digestive juices to penetrate the mass and come in contact with the food particles. If the food Is diluted wilh water the diges tive juices can easily have access to It. ! In this and in other ways water keeps the digestive tract clean. If people drank enough water there would be no operations for appendicitis. Kausas Industrialist. Why Animals Fear Man. The universal antipathy of animated nature for man can scarcely Iks ex plained as the teaching of experience. Man has played his role of universal meddler for too short n time to have Impressed himself on the memory of each individual line. There nmst bo something in his attitude of mind that communicates itself to them and in duces its proper automatic rcllex. The mouse that runs over the lion's foot and gnaws at his bone goes to eailh like a flash when man comes near. The bee hangs In the nir and then goes on because man stands by her favorite foxglove.

"Barbara," the teacher scolded, "your writing exercise Is very nice ex cept the last line, which is dreadful. Why do the letters stagger and fall over one another in that disgraceful way?"

THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE. fc.egance In It3 Architecture and In Its Appointments. The president's ollice is an ellipse in plan. A triple bay window forms one end and at the other is an open tire place. Four doors, opening inward, are cipially disposed, iwo on each side, and are curved to eoyform with the curve of the wall. The tall windows are hung with stately, heavy curtains and are Hanked by bookcases set into the wall. The fireplace is incased in fine mar ble, and tinted ionic columns support the mantel, on which stands a bell glass covered clock, flanked by can delabra. In the fireplace are complete preparations for a wood lire. Even the paper Is placed under the logs, ready to ignite. The style of the room is classic co lonial, and the woodwork Is painted a creamy white with blue white em bellishment. Each of the four large ornate door frames Is surmounted by a lidi pediment. The wall is covered hy a warm olive green burlap, which extends up from a paneled wainscot to a wide, elaborate molding or entabla ture of plain plaster. A flat dome of this virgin plaster surmounts the room and gathers In lis shallow, inverted basin the light from the bay window and gives play to every tint and shade of gray. Pendent from the middle is a chan delier of electric candles, and triple groups of the same adorn the wall be tween the doors and windows. Wil liam S. Nortenheim in National Mag azine.
