An Account of an Egyptian City Thirty Centuries Ago. Probably the oldest letter in the world 1o the letter of Panbesa, written fifteen centuries before Christ to his friend, Amenemapt, a scribe. The manuscript is of perishable papyrus, and It Is amazing that it should have survived for more than thirty centuries and still be legible. It is preserved in the collection of the British museum. It has been sev eral times translated. It presents an Interesting picture of life in Egypt in the time of Itaimeses II. It is more In the nature of a literary production, at poem composed in celebration of the visit of Pharaoh to the city of I'a Itameses, than an ordinary letter of to day. Pianbesa "greets his lord, the scribe Amenemapt, to whom be life, health and strength," and then goes on to de scribe the verdant fields, the thrashing floors, the vineytirds, the groves of olives, the orclards of figs, the great daily markets, with their fish and wa terfowl and swaris of purcliasers. The citizens had their "sweet wine of Khein, pomlegranute wine and wine from the vineyards," and to these they added "lheer of Kati."

To look at them one would gather the in pression that the whole water traveled. This, however, Is not so. The water stays in the sae place, but the mo. tioni goes on. In great storms waves are souietiies forty feet high and their crests travel fifty miles an hour. The base of a wave (the distance from valley to valley) Is usually cQnsidered as being fifteen times the height of the wave. Therefore a wave twenty-five feet high would have a base extending 375 feet. A cold is mucb more easily cured when the bowels are opened. Kennedy's Ltixative Honey and Tar opens the bow els and drives the cold out of the system in young or old. Sold by Picke n; Drug Her Ancient Sacred Cat., At Assult a little while ago a Ger man lady was much pleased at halv lug secured for a considerable sum the niminy of a sacred cat. She was delighted with her bargain, and the Arab dealer was quite satisfied with the sun he received. But with the curiosity inherited from our first poor mother she began to examine her mum my. She looked at it closely and even picked a hole in it. Then. encouraged by what she saw, she proceeded to rip it open. Her mummy was stuffed .with the London Dally Mail. Men Past Sixty in Danger. Tore than half of mankind over sixty years of age suffer from- kidney and bladder disorders, usually enilargement of the prostate glauds. This is both )ainful and dangerous, and FolAy's Kid i-ey Cure shovld be tnken at the Irst sign of danger, asit corrects irregulari ies and has cured many old men of this diseas. Mr. Rodney Burnett, Rockport. Mo., writes: "I Suffered' with enlarged prostate gland and kiduey trouble for years and ofter taking two bottles of Folay's Kidney Cure I feel botter than f have for twenty years, although I an now 91 years old." How to Avoid Cramps. "You often read of people dying from cramps while in swinmming," said Jame" D. Rose of Martin. Tenn. "Peo ple don't die from cramps while in bathing. The water gets in the ears. Uoods the eardrums and causes the nerves leading to the brain to bheoue IIralyzed. This naturally forces oth er vital nerves to cease I)erforiniiiig their lty. and the resuilt is death. If people who go inl .wiimmluig would put I ottonl in their ears the niluiher Of leaths froium craips would be much smaller."'-Nashvlle Tennesseean. CUlei ALL SKIN TicOUniLES.

Some years ago. before Queen Vic toria's death and about the time that the queen's jubilee vas to be celebrat ed, the following conversation betwqen two old Scotciwonien was overheard on a street corner in London: "Canl ye tell me. wu mman. what Is it they call a jubilee?" "Well, It's this." said her neighbor: "When folk has been married twenty five years, that's a silver wuddin', and 'when they have been married fifty years that's a golden wuddin', but if the mon's dead, then it's a Jubilee."

The Limit of Life The most eminent medical sci-ntists are unanimous in the conlusion that the generally accepted limitation of hu man life is many years below she attain ment possible with the advanced knowl edge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period that determines its duration seems to be between 50 and 60; the proper care of the body during this decade cannot be too strongly urged; carelessness then being fatal to longevi ty.

Japanese Flower Decoration. In the Japanese method of flower decoration, to become a master of which a man must study for at least fourteen years, seven years of hard work making him only fairly profi cient, only few flowers, are used. One beautiful bough is considered ample aesthetic food for a day. The Japanese know that only one beauti ful object at a time can be appre ciated, and they aim at plucing that object in Ierfeet relation to its sur roundings. A vase of flowers in a Japanese house is the principal thing in the room, near which the chief guest of the evening is seated. "REGULAR AM THE SUN" is an expression as old as tihe rece.

Managers and clerks in large depart ment stores of necessity have to deal with all kinds and classes of people. and they often have most amusing experiences, owing to the pecuIiarities of their customers, says the Plhilladel phia Record. While waiting for an ex change at the silk counter in a Market street establishment yesterday a clerk told a West Philadelphia shopper a story which she has since been circu lating among her circle of friends. "An uptown customer," the clerk said. "last week had six yards of a most ex pensive silk sent C. 0. D. The next day the package was returned to us, and upon it was written: 'Returned. I was only teaching my daughter how to shop.'" Eczeas. For the good of those suffering with eozema or other such trouble, I wish to say, my wife had sumetijug of that kind and after using the doctors' remedies for some time concluded to try Chamber lain's Salve, and it proven to be better than any thing she had tried.
