THE TURKISH INDEMNITY.

The United states, It seems, has not
abandoned the idea Of making the Sui
tan Of Turkey pay the little bill OF
100000. due for the destruction Of
property belonging 70 American ciu-
Gems. during the riots in 1895. The
claim has been pressed since early this
year, and the matter is now at the
point where either a settlement must
be made or the honor Of the United
States be to some extent sacrificed.
Austria some years ago collected an
indemnity from Turkey, by backing
~ her demands by a threat to lombard
a Turkish port and Italy exacted her
pound OF flesh by sending a man-of-
war into Turkish waters.

VACCINATION AND ASSAULT.

The Medical Record gives In It's news
columns, the story OF a New Bedford
physician. who was charged with as
gaut and battery because he yaccIn-
ated a child without the consent Of It's
parents
In his capacity Of agent for the board
Of health. he entered a house whore he
found a slx-year-oli bow who had not
been submitted to the operation Of vac
clnatou. The boy was vaccInated with
out much objection, but the mother dld

jected The doctor however performed
his work and then left
Some time afterwards he was sum-
moned 70 answer a charge Of assault
and battery. He could prove, however
that the mother. notwithstanding her
remonstrances, had assisted him In
rolling up the sleeve and barring the
arm OF the little victim, and on this
showing the doctor was acquitted.
What the verdict would have been, had
he performed the operation without the
reluctant assistance OF the mother. Is
not stated. Il might have been differ
ent. AT least a different line Of defense
would have been necessary, and In
some cases he would probably have
been assaulted and battered himself

CHEAP LIVING.

Some time ago the papers IN this
country had much 20 say about cheap
living. and Il was quite generally point
Cd out that living on the verge Of
starvation perpetually was bad econ
omy. The comments were made on ac-
count OF an announcement that a man
and wife IN Chicago had agreed TO live
on Is cents "a day each, while studying
at tho university.

gives some figures relative TO living In
certain parts Of Germany. by which Il
would appear that the Chicago expert

German government Is establishing
farms on which Germans alone are en-
ploycd. and these are allowed rauons
which cost only nine and half cents
day. They are given half a pound Of
meat per week. potatoes rye -four, a
little rice. and some coffee.
There was some complaint against
the lusumciency Of this food and by
the investigation that followed. II was
established that some German farmers.
not In the employ OF the government
were living on much less. Thus, for
instance. one family Of six had for six
years been living upon a diet costing on
an average eight and one-third cents
a day for each person. The food com
sisted Of six pounds OF meat a week
and s.xty-twO pounds Of potatoes for
