Ancient Surgical Instruments. A complete sol of surgical Inxtrumeats was found not long ngo by men digging In a scrap pile In Cboluphon, an ancient Greek city. In spite of the fact that they were used about 2,000 years ngo, there is not much difference between them and the implements that are poked into the anatomy of a modern man. In the set tire small knives with handles of decorated bronze, a metal which the Greeks thought was especially healing. There are also several pairs of forceps, one of them used to extract the heads of arrows and lances from wounded warriors. Another Instrument Is for the drilling of holes in the bones of the skull; another for cauterizing the flesh. Besides these are vessels for cupping and bleeding, a small covered bronze box for delicate instruments, a slab of stone tor mixing certain drugs mid a pair of scales which still balance perfectly. In addition to these there is a handsome purple glass beaker, probably the drinking cup of the unknown surgeon who made use of all these instruments. Kite Flying Contests. The Japanese are devoted to their national sport of kite Hying. At contests there are two umpires, at whose command two kites of the same size are sent up together. As the kites attain a sufficient height the men try to play the kites against each other. Each party wants to bring- Its kite into touch with its opponent and to bring the latter down. The kite that stays tip till the wind ceases or until all the others are vanquished is victorious. This requires tlie strength of many men working a long time. And the art of tight Ing one's kite well is not- easily acquired. Thus fifty or sixty men labor until exhausted. Some of the kites used in the contest are things to seehuge circular structures about ninety feet in length, including the tail, and having a width of fifty or sixty feet. The ropes for the fighting kites are made of strong hemp and are more than 2.000 feet long and above one inch tn thickness.—London Globe.

How Eskimo Women Die. Ou ber first entrance to her new hut of snow an Eskimo woman is buoyed by hope of welcoming a son. What of her last incoming to those narrow con tines? She knows that the medicine man has decided that ber sickness is mortal when she is laid upon her bed of snow. She gazes upon the feebly burning lamp beside her, upon food and drink set close at her hand. She sees her loved ones pass out of the doorway that needs no tunnel entrance to keep chill airs away, for presently the door is sealed with snow. The chill of death pierces through ber enveloping furs. Iler tomb insures that no long tarrying will be hers. The soul, companioning with her, may refresh itself with food; but. starving and freezing, her feeble body will witness even that soul's departure and know that its hour has come to perish alone —Harper’s. A Bed For Seventeen. Probably there is no bed capable of holding so many as seventeen in this country. But such a bed is to be found in the Mount Tet hut (10.0)0 feet above the sea), one of the Swiss mountain cabins belonging to the Alpine club. The bed is really con strutted to hold only fourteen, but the day on which a party visited the but was so exceptionally clear and the con ditions for climbing were so favora ble that twenty-one members and friends, besides the guides accompany lug them, turned up at the cabin to stay the night. The guides took pos session of the kitchen, and the twen ty-one sorted themselves out as fol lows: Seventeen "slept'’ on the bed. three on the floor and the remaining one in a chair.
