1 Mdlol Solence as It Exleted In th
I Ancient City.
Tho patient work of tbo archaeolo
gist enables people of today to form a
very fair Idea of medical scleuce as It
existed In Nineveh (150 yeurs before
the birth of Christ, says the New York
Sun.. Of the 20,000 tablets taken from
tho library of Assurbanlpal, the great
king of Assyria, who conquered Egypt
and Bablyoula and established his nub'
Jects in the deserted ell lex of Samaria,
hundreds deal exclusively with medi
cine ii ml coutara numerous prescrip
tions: :
J- "If a man has colic make him stn-nd
up and pour over him a decoction of
bypericum and ho will recover.
"Or make him crouch down on his
heels und, pour cold water over. Ills
bead."
Faith healing seems to be Indicated
In a prescription which runs: "If he Is
in a weak state, make him beud down,
then raise his legs and say. 'May yon
get quite well." Strike him also on the
head fourteen times with your thumb."
Vany , prescriptions deal with the
cure of a disorder which was very
common at Nineveh and which seems
to have been due to overindulgence In
food mid (U'ink: "When a man Is bil
ious rub him with an onion and let
bim drink nothing but water and ab
stain from food altogether."
Among the medicines used by tho
physicians of Nineveh -were sesame,
olive oil, castor oil. sirup of dates,
honey and salt.- Fasting and massage
wore frequently ordered.
LAPPS AND WOLVES.
The Deer Killing Brutes Get No Meroy
From tho Native.
The Swedish Lupps aro said to live
entirely with, by and upon .their rein
deer. A Lapp who owns a thousand
deer is a rich man, but as taxes are
assessed upon the number of deer, ho
Is inclined to underestimate his herd.
The most dungerous enemy to the herd
is the wolf, which can, kill many deer
in a night. A band of wulves can make
a rich Lapp poor.
When the snow la deep and soft and
It 1h announced that wolf tracks have
been seen In (he neighborhood of the
deer, the swiftest runners on snow-shoi-s
prendre for an exclling chase.
The wolf may have a start of a mile
or two, but the track it leaves In tnu
deep, soft snow Is so conspicuous that
tile hunters can follow It at their best
spved. The wolf, though he may run
swiftly, has but a slight chance of es;
capiug his pursuers, on tlielr snowHlioes.
Each hunter does his best to oulrui.

Lapp who strikes the first blow. As

other wolves to be pursued be kills It
outright; if not he disables it and waits
till nil the hunters have arrived befor

Germany's. Industrial Life.
The Industrial life of Germany gives
tlie impression of a groat street crowd
ed with heavy trafllc. This traffic fa
formed of units, but all have a common
purpose and direction, and it is well
regultited. It is aggressive,- noisy and
daugerous to those who brave its com
petitive perils. It is' artificial, us It
caters to thj needs of miiu largely out
side of the actual necessities for sub
sistence, and it is subject to Increase
or decreases, congestions or even sud
den stoppages, for, unlike the bulk of
the traUlc of the United States, it is not

of natural products seeking the level
of supply nud demand. Ever increas
