Tho Medical and Surgical Reporter, Phil
adelphia, has tue following from its Berlin
correspondent. Tho disgracarul scenes at
tho banquet given by tho city Of Berlin te
tho Medical Congress wero recently the topic
of discussion In council. A councilman called
it the medical schuetzenfest and emphasized
the waste Of money. He was not altogether
wrong. The money spent by the city for the
Rathaus banquet was really enormous, and
the result was the total intoxlcation Of most
Of tho shining lights of the profession. Ire
eret to say that the bigger the man. the
more he was inebriated. On professor
whose name is household word all over the
medical world artificial respiration was prac'
ticed for almost an hour, and another pro
fessor who has revclutionized one Of the most
important Of medical branches had bad
cut in bis head, the result Of fall. A French
physician who hos made his name renowned
by fighting intemperance through exposure
Of the injury inflicted upon the organism by

Nine Foolhardy Parisians Drown
in the Seine.

An accident by which nine persons LOST
their lives occurred at Paris, France, fe"
days ago. The Seine, with the exception OF
the centre, has been frozen over for soma
days. The whole river was covered with ice,
the middle Of the stream, however,
being hidden by what the police judged
to be a dangerously thin sheet of it.
Consequently the authorities forbade
people to attempt to cross the river, and the
police were instructed to enforce the order.
a number Of men and boys, however, disre-
earding the warning cries Of the police and oil
the crowds Of people who were watching
them, attempted to cross the Seine
AS they came near the middle OF
the stream, dull, cracking reports
were heard, causing a number OF the
foolhardy persons to rush back to the sides
of the river, where the ice was much
thicker. Others pressed on. Suddenly the
ice gave way and precipitated crowd OF
people into the freezing water. The police
and ife-savers rushed to the scene Of the dis.
aster; but in spite of their efforts, and
though a number of men and boys were
drawn from the river, nine persons were
known to have been drowned.

DON'T LET INDIANS HAVE LIQUOR.

There is-says the Indians Friend, a paper
published by the Women's National Indiat
Associations law passed by Congress tha,
no intoxicating liquor Of any kind shall b.
sold to an Indian, anywhere within the limit:
Of the United States land it was not passet
for the benefit of the Indian either. Thh
law is openly, repeatedly and unblushingly
violated; from its violation there comes
long line of evils of which the white race 2et
its full share. Now we venture to Suggest
that as precautionary measure 1t might b'
we'll to send oil sellers Of ofintoxicating liquor!
out Of the lands assigned to Indians. The
Indian Bureau in the Northwest is prac
tically in charge of the War, Department,
since the recent order Of the honorable
Secretary Of the Interior; and it would be 6
comparatively easy matter to carry this Law
into effect. A thorough enforcement Of th,
law would be worth more than regiment o:
Of cavalry.

FRENCH BREAD.

The secret of giving to French bread
its peculiar consistency is the repeated
leavenings to which it is subjected; the
first baking takes place about 2 or 8
o'clock in the morning, some of the dough
being reserved to mix with new sponge;
as soon as the second batch is light still
some more of the sponge is reserved and
third baking started; so On until the
afternoon of the day is reached and the
demand for bread ceases. A little Of the
last sponge is saved for the fresh batch,
which will be set about midnight. The
repeated leavening and kneading OF the
dough gives the very light and spongy
texture to the bread which no other
variety possesses. Bakers yeast is used
to start the leaven.-Micago Neus. ~,

indians Commit Murder to Secure
Good Luck In Hunting.
Blue Horn, an Iudian, went hunting and
trapping in the Beaver Hills, near Fort Sas-
katchewan, Winnipeg, accompanied by boy
about eight years old, the eldest son Of Vic
toria Indian. While they were looking at the
traps one day, Blue Horn sent the boy back
to camp. When he returned he was sur
prised to find that the boy was not there.
The other Indians in camp searched for the
boy. but did not find him.
Soon afterward half-breed from Beaver
Lake found in the woods not far from New
Beaver Lake trail skeleton in o standing
position, the arms stretched out and wrists
tied to two trees. He did not disturb it, but
went to tell the father Of the lost boy in
order that he might see il he could identify
it. From circumstances surrounding the
affair it is evident the lost boy had been
offered as sacrifice to secure good luck in
hunting by Indians. As is their custom, the
savages had hung about the body bits Of
