WHEN CALENDARS BEGAN THE EARLIEST DATE FIXED IN EGYPTIAN IIICOnWS. EID•ptoiogis Puts It 'Rack to Year 4291 B. G. How He Fixes the Time. Prof. James henry Breasted, of the University of Chicago, who just return- ed from an expedition to the upper Nile, has set buck the first authentic date in the world's history 1,000 years. Ile has satisfied himself and a number QS his scholarly intimates that records were set down in Egypt in the year 4241 B. C. Recent excavations . in the Nile val- ley by the University of Cinema)Egyp- tian expedition, of which Prof, Breast- ed was the head, are the basis for his claim. Beginning witll 4241 B.C.; which Prof. Breasted believes marks nee, beginning of the recording of iho years, he finds a calendar was kept, not unlike that followed to -day. CONCLUSIONS. OF SCIENTI•ST.. Prof. Breasted's opinions and proof which are labelled "The oldest Fixed Date in flistory," in part are as fol- lows: "The Egyptians had early determined the length of the year as 365 days, not being aware of the additional quarter, or nearly a quarter, of a day. This convenient ytects they divorced from the phases of the moon, and divided it into twelve months of thirty days eaca, eitll an intercalary period of five days a; the end of the year. This,, the first prictical calendar ever evolved by an ancient people',, remained an achieve- ment unparalleled in any other civiliz- ation. TRACES BACK CALENDAR. "Now we know from a statement 'n Censorious that some time in the period from 140-141 to 143-144 A. D., the calen- dar coincided exactly with the seasons, and that in one of the years in that period the rising of the Sothis took place on the first day of the calendar year. An entire revolution was completed at that time. "That revolution must have begun 1,- 460 years earlier --that is, in 1320 B. C. The next earlier revolution must have begun in 2780 13.C.—that is, at about the beginning of the age at wheel.' we are first able to observe contemporary indications of the shift. "Now, it is impossible that this cal- endar was first introduced at tale as the twenty-eighth century B.C., in the midst of the highest culture of the Old Kingdom. Moreover, the five intercal- ary days at the end of the year, proving the use of the shifting year of 365 days, are mentioned in the Pyramid Texts; which are far older than the 01d King- donh. IIOW I•HE FD:ES IT. "The calendar existed, therefore, be- fore the Old Kingdom, but if this is true, we must seek its invention at a time when its sessions coincided rough- ly with those of nature, as they mu3t have done at its introduction. Tins carries us 1,460 years back of their co- incidence in the Old Kingdom; that is, the calendar was introduced in the mil dle of the forty-third century B.C. (44?41 13.0.). "This is the oldest fixed date in his- tory. This fact demonstrates not only a remarkable a de;ree of precise know- ledge w- ledge of nature in that remote age, but also stable political conditions, and a wide recognition of central authority, which could gradually introduce such an innovation." - FRENCH HOTELS. The Natives Demand Certain Comforts, but no Gewgaws. The French desire in hotels the essen- tials of a high civilization and not the gewgaws. Dislkie of ostentation is as strong in the common people as in the educated Every one is satisfied with a hotel that can offer airy rooms, clean beds, with immensely long upper sheets that double nearly the whole way over the quilts, springy mattresses and chim- neys free from return smoke. The sitting room furniture may be ex- tremely plain. Objection will not Le marls in counts or seaside qur tr Mrs, fun cants an even suras ui cane, Each meal may be served on a. table covered with a dark oilcloth, Tho white .damask table cloth is reserved' general- ly for dinner. The veriest lout requires a napkin at all his meals. French children are on a different footing from English children, says London Truth. There is no nursery in France, except in houses where there is snobbish Anglomania.. Nor is there a "children's dinner" either at home cr at hotels, Having company is not a rea- son to exclude the child or the one er two children from the table of the grown up persons. The disadvantage is that food unsuit- able to extreme youth may be sometimes taken; but with a little management a intik soup and a sweet eutremet may serve to blunt the appetite for heating dishes. The advantages are that the child unconsciously imitates the man- ners of the adults with whom he dines, and Iearns to express himself in a na- tural manner with neat elegance. One hardly ever sees more than a couple of children in a French family. A" whole tribe of near relatives go to- gether to the .seaside or country quar- ters in the holidays. Tho grandparents are included. If the child or children of a family are small, a bonne is of the party. She has to govern her charge or charges by moral suasion. The law severely for- bids corporal punishment, and public opinion supports it. And there are men who are willing to marry rather than go to work. It isn't what' a snarl owes, but what he pays, That keeps hien poor. After all, a woman's effort to beautify 'herself' is ha a vain attempt. ADVICE OVER TIIE''I•IONE A BOGUS BONAPARTE, DOCTORS WHO VISIT THEIR' PATI- EN'I.S IN THAT WAY. Nervous People Cali Up Their "11ledical Adviser" on the Slightest Provocation. The writer recently met a certain well-known and highly respected New York physician who does a large and increasing practice over the 'phone. Ile is an extremely clever man, and so never risks: sending advice when ho feels that a personal interview is neves- nary. He is a surgeon as well as a phy- sician, and recently when performing an operation in one of the big hopitals he was called up on the 'phone by a nurse in a children's infirmary, some three nines distant, who informed hint that he was wanted immediately to at- tend a child who hail dislocated his shoulder. He could not leave his work; buthe told the nurse to bring the child to the 'phone, and when she answered that the boy was in her arms he gaveher minute instructions whereby she was able to but the dislocated shoulder back in its place. The whole thing took less than three minutes, and as soon aa he learned that everything was "in order" the surgeon returned to his operation and smiled at the expressed surprise of his assistants, "The 'phone," said the doctor.in quos- tlokl, "has been of the greatest benefit both to the medical profession and its clients, and I do not know to -day how I should get through my work were it not for its aid. Not a- day passes that I do not send advice to A DOZEN PATIENTS. over the telephone, and in nine eases out of ten the results are as satisfac- tory as though I had seen them person- ally. Of course, where the complaint is a serious one, and much depends on personal observation, I do not risk send- ing advice over the 'phone, though even in such cases as these I know lny pati- ents so well when all the symptoms are wired to me by an intelligent noose I ani enabled to prescribe ' withperfect safety. "Only last week I had a case which I treated almost entirely over the 'phone. The patient in this instance was a boy who had met with an accident weherby he right leg was fractured. After set- ting the limb and leaving him in the care of a capable nurse, 1 found it was- quite unnecessary to see him for several days; the nurse telephoning me his symptoms each hour, so that I was able to follow the results of the accident just es care- fully as though I were beside his bed. The medicines were made up in'my own dispensary and forwarded by express messenger to the nurse with minute in- structions, which were followed to the letter. The lad never had a relapse, and to -day he will be out of bed. '0f course, in diseases which 'may have a sudden termination, sending ad- vice over the 'phone is too risky, and no medical man, however well he might know his patient, would, in such a case, be justified in- adopting anything but A PERSONAL ATTENDANCE. I could tell you of one instance in which advice sent over the 'phone re- sulted he the patient's death—simply be- cause the disease was one which re-. quired the closest .attention; and this cannot be given without the presence of the doctor: "The case was one of acute pneumon- ia—a disease which will take a sudden turn for the worse or the better in the twinkling of an eye.' The patient had been progressing favorably, and do doctor had left him apparently com- fortable and on the road to recovery, when the nurse noticed a sudden and alarming change. She at once tele- phoned to the doctor, who sent some advice over the wire and said he would. be up as soon as possible. But be was called away to a very urgent case and it eves two hours before he was able to fulfil his promise. When he ar- rived the patient was dead. "Many parents are extremely fidgety and nervous regarding their children especially if they ares very young—and T have .been at tines driven almost crazy during the night by the ringing of my telephone bell and the questions went cow ers-wire-ua 0 ateilSlareentga; only the other night 1 was wrung up bl a lady patient at three in the MORI- tng, she declaring that her baby had croup and was dying. I asked her if the child was coughing at that moment, and she replied: 'Oh, yes, doctor, some- thing terrible.' Then I told her to bring the baby to the telephone and let him cough there once or twice, and I woui•t soon be able to tell whether her lean, were well founded. She immediately did es I told her, and in a moment .1 was : SCRAMBLING INH'0 MY CLOTHES, for I could hear the infant trouping its. little life (away, and I knew that speed nn my •part.was the only thing ..►:tat would save it. 1 reached' the 'mese en record' time, and, after teiree..hourss constant atte1- lion, dragged the' oiled out of dange", and to -day he is well This was a core in which advice over the wire would. have been useless, though had it not been for the 'phone the .child's life would undoubtedly have been sacrific- ed, for long before the messenger could have reached me end I had answered the summons the •disease would have ac ornplished its purpose. • "I have many b0iistimptive patients; and men and women who are victims of other slow -killing diseases, whom I treat perfectly satisfaeetorily over the telephone. They inform me of the pro- gress of the complaint, and I prescribe for them just as I would were I seated beside them and with quite as much skill. Some patients, of course, will n-ot take edejce over the 'phone, being prejudiced against the growing custom, and 1 never press them to do so. The fact remains,• however, that I have Many patients whotn 1 sometimes nevt+f see for'•weeks together, and yet whom 1 'am 'egetstantly attending to and ad' vfsitlg lit this method." Says Ile is a flescendant 01 the Great Napoleon, Several British tourists had an excit- ing experience while inspecting the rooms of Napoleon. 1. at Versailles, France, the other day. The party was in the -Emperor's bed- room, and the guide was pointing nue the beauties of Napoleon's bed, when erre of the party exolainled; 'There's somebody in it nowt" At this moment a. Man, looking won- derfully like Napoleon, and dressed in the grey coat and cocked hat of the familiar .shape, sat bolt upright in the bed. "I am •Napoleon the Fourth," he said, "the direct descendant of Napoleon the Great. I fought at the Battle of Sedan, and after the battle I retreated to Paris, mune here, and fen asleep. You woke me up. Co away." The guide understood that the man must be mad, and had the good sense not to contradiet 'him. He replied:. "if it please your Majesty to follow us, we will conduct you to your palace." The man followed with dignity, and was eventually taken to the hospital at Versailles, where he is to he looked after' He is. an Italian named Benvenuto Buononore. It is thought that it may be his extraordinary resemblonee to Napoleon the Groat which has turned bis head. SAVED BABY'S LIFE. There are thousands_ of mothers throughout Canada who have no hesita- tion in saying that the good health en- joyed.,by their little ones is entirely due to the judicious use of Baby's Own Tab- lets. And there are many mothers who 09 not hesitate to say that at critical periods the Tablets have saved a baby life. Mrs. Wni. Fortin, St. Genevieve, Que., says; "I feel sure that Baby's Own Tablets saved my baby's lite. When I, first began giving them to him he was so badly constipated that the bowls could only be moved by injec- tion,. and he suffered terribly. After 111E first day I saw a marked change, and in less than a week the trouble was entirely removal, and the has since en- joyed the best of health." You can get Baby's Own Tablets from your drug- gist or by mail at 25 cents a box from Tho Dr, Williams' Medici.le Co., Brook- ville, Ont. AN IRISH SUPERSTITION. A superstition, that to this day finds great credence among the peasantry of Ireland, is That a lighted candle placed in a dead man's hand will not be seen by any but those by whom it is used; and also, that, if a caudle in a dead hand he introduced into a house, it will prevent those who may be asleep with- in the house from waling. Within recent years a party of moonlighters, under the influence of this .superstition, attacked the house of a farmer, lighting their way with a candle whose candle- stick was a dcad nian's hand. Unfor- tunately for the credit of the creed, the inmates were alarmed, and their assail- ants fled leaving their dead hand be- hind them. COSTLY TRIP. Sir Siebert Ball tells us.whnt it would cost to reach one of the most distant stars, supposing a railway were con- structed to it from London, and that the low rate of two cents per 100 miles prevailed. If the intending passenger could present to the booking clerk inc' whole United National ot the Debt of AbeLniter I Kingdom, a sum exceeding $3,350,000,- 000,, 3,350,000;000,, he would require 5,000 huge carts to convey it in sovereigns to the ticket office. Even when the poor clerk had accomplished the lengthy task of count- ing the "fare," he would want another $515,000,000 before he would feel justi- fied in issuing even a third-class ticket, and that could not be a return one for -the money. The Flagging Energies Revived.— Constant' application to business is a tax upon the energies, and it there be not relaxation, lassitude and depression arc sure to intervene. 'These come from stomachic troubles. The want of exercise brings on nervous irregulari- ties, and the stomach ceases to assimi- late fond properly. In this condition Parnhelee's Vegetable Pills will be found a recuperative of rare power, restoring the organs to bealthful action, dispel- ling depression, and reviving the flag- ging energies. It requires the wormanship of twenty men, and the use of much costly ma- chinery to make that dainty article, the thimble. The scenery along the straight and narrow' path is less attractive than that bordering on the broad road leading elsewhere. • .
