The lure of strange lands and peo ples is felt by most of us on four first acquaintance with the pittures in the school geographies. To make a rip around the world had seemed scarcely Jess marvelous an exploit than a visit to Mars and about as unattainable, An announcement in a pewspape. about a year ago placed the matter in an en- . tirely new light. A great floating hotel, 1 learned, was to carry half a thousand people around the world with all, or, rather, more than, the com- forts of home, while every difficulty of travel had been smoothed away in ad- vanes. The difficulties of making a hundred railroad and steamship con- nections and making oneself under- stood in a babel of languages 'made an around the world trip formadable Even the cost of this inspiring journay had been 'brought within the reach of my moderate. resources, I could Tive aboard a palatial ocean [liver more cheaply than at an ordinary hotel, with woward of 25,000 miles of trans- portation thrown in After months of delightful anticipa- "ion the long expected day for . sailing finally arrived. We had selected our stateroom, which was to 'be ow for 110 days, and movid our belong ings into it. A score of luxuries known to the ordinary traveler found were possible on this floatin hotel. The cabin had homelike hore un we n ar, With the problem of constant packing | 'rink of the waters of Marah, for they [brought and repacking, which is the horror of ordinary travel, done away with, we FRIZELL, simply made our home on the liner as we would select a room at fsummer hotel. Even our steamer chair {was definitely located for the eutire trip in a sheltered part of the deck. We had only to sit quietly &it home, as it were, and watch the marvelous pan orama of an around the world tgip unfold before our ey Our floating home on the steamship Cleveland = of the Hamburg-American line several hundred Americans, great on en. carried gathered from all parts of the Union. The great 600 foot boat of 17,000 tons af forded ample room for all. A delight- ful week at sea supplied just the right preface for our wonderful adventures. In twentydour hours we were better fonquainted than we could have been in 'a month ashore. Friendships were yuick- Ty made, which have stitt-endured:-- Gury first ports of call did not carry us out lof the beaten track of travel.

In the outlying districts the forked stick is still a plow, and the camel and donkey are equally yoked together. At Cawo snake and the with trained monkeys are stil present. The open air cafes are dlways crowded. A trip to the pyramids brought us ko the very cen- tre of the greatest achievements of history.. The pyramids have been dispoiled of their beauty by vandal hands that have torn away their smooth casing of granite for the con- struction of mosques and the watts of the citadel. They have leit the surface an irregular and shapeless line' of steps. The conquering armies after using them as yuarries have not, how- ever, detracted from their immensity. The exploration of the interior was | more tiring, but likewise more remu- nerative, Provided with candles, ¢ tric lamps, Baedekers and piasters, we climbed the north side to the entrance, farty feet the base.

"Matches are made by a middle party, and the bridegroom does not look upon the face of the bride until the close of their wedding day, after the procession of the bride to the bridegroom's house. ' We were fortunate in witnessing a wedding pro- vession where the bride was conveyed in a palanquin. In this she was total ly concealed from view. It was borne by two gorgeously decorated camels, one in front and one behind. The groom's house was ag far as we were allowed to .go. In the streets of Cairo We saw a fu- neral procession that took us back to Biblical times. It was headed by paid mourners and wailing women. The lpath was cleared by blind men bearink staves. The corpse was placed upon a flat board and carried upon the shoul- ders of men of uneven height, who were frequently replaced by others from the procession, Thus it was taken to an ancient cemetery, where the mourners were paid off, after which they sang a different tune.

He soon found that bleeding was kill- ing the men and that quinind was saving them. Little by fittle he left laff bleeding, to the great searidal of the medical profession. Exactly in proportion as the bleed- ing ceased the deaths in the hospital decreased. In two years the deaths fell off from one in three and a hall of all who emtered the hospital to one in twenty, and finally to one in forty-six. Maillot, quite naturally enough, be- came an earnest opponent of bleed- ing, but he was so actively resisted and so ceaselessly vilified that he be | game embittered toward his colleagues { "Nearly thirty years passed before [ Maillot saw the complete triumph of his ideas. Doctors continued to bleed their patients heartily for all manner of ills.
