here.
The man was busy forking these logs
with those sharp tongs used to swing
them about and draw them in, when
he missed his footing and fell into the
river. Though a strong swimmer. he
could not withstand the current and
was swept out into the stream and ON
toward the falls. Nearing the falls. he
found himself still conscious, and it
happened that he was being toated
over one of those tables of rock where
the water was so shallow that he felt
himself touch. He struggled to regain
his feet, and was successful in so do

used in building operations. A great

community of Trappist monks, the
strictest of all the monastic orders. The
monastery is an imposing but gloomy
looking pile. No woman is permitted
to enter it save the wives Of The Presi-

door of the institution is a placard
which threatens accommodation to
any of the fair sex who shall dare to
cross its portals. Thus far this has
been sufficient to prevent intrusion.

MUCH BUTTER.
Many Tubs Were Sent by Creameries
for This Months Scoring

st. Paul Sunday Pioneer Press:
So many tubs of superfne butter
were entered for the second monthly
contest of the state dairy and food COM
mission for prize awards that the
judges could not finish their work yes
terdsy as they had expected. The in
spection will be completed tomorrow.
More than 200 tubs of butter were
entered, against 122 for the first con-
test. The exhibits came from all parts
of the state, and all are of an excep-
tionally fine quality. The judges are
Prof. Hacker of the state agricultural
school; J. S. Moody and B. D. White
of the state dairy and food commits
sion.
1.-The exhibits show up Minnesota
as greater butter state than ever"
said Mr.. White. "Of course, the but
termakers have the advantage of a
good season, but that does not detract
from the merits of the exhibits, for 1
never saw anything to beat them.
Speaking ofMinnesota' s superiority
in this line, l am reminded of her
superiority in the matter of purity of
food. In some other states it is almost
impossible to buy any perishable ar
ticles of food that are not injected
with formaldehyde or some other
equally injurious preservative. The
preventative is used principally in
milk, but cases are known where
chemists in certain cities may buy
fresh meats of any kind, eggs, oysters,
fish and in fact almost any article you
can think of except possibly fruits and
breads, and make test for Tornado
hyde and be rewarded for their work.
SIN Minnesota it is different. Our
inspectors seek after the Violate of
the law SO closely that most of them
on longer care to adulterate their
goods There are nine inspectors, and
no dealer knows when one of them is
likely to drop in for an examination. I"

WHISTLED UNTIL HE DIED.
Polish herdsman Kept 1t Up Even While
Unconscious From Fatal Injury.

DR.. William Krauss, in the Journal
OF Nervous and Mental Diseases, de-
scrlbes the case of Polish herdsman,
~ years of age, weighing $50 pounds,
who some months previous to an &C
cldent, had suffered from apoplexy re-
sulting in left hemiplegia. He was
slowly recovering the use OF his arm
and leg when he was struck by train,
and was found unconscious on the
track, with scalp wounds. There was
a depressed fracture of the skull three
inches above and one inch behind the
left ear. He was Immediately tre-
pinned and the depressed bone remov-
ed.
At ten o'clock at night he began to
whistle, not however the popular
songs of the day" but the whistle
calls he was accustomed to use in call
ing or driving his focks He would
continue whistling for about one min
ute, then would cease for five or ten
minutes, and kept this up at regular
intervals until he died, January 3,
1890, at 10 80 O'Clock p. m. At no
time was it possible to distinguish any
melody. The sounds were OF the same
pitch and intensity and OF the same
character. They were audible through
out the ward and attracted the atten-
tion of patients and attendants. To
the physicians in attendance 1t was
a strange experience to hear those
whistle calls coming from a patient
in state of unconsciousness 1t was
impossible to rouse the patient at any
time before or after the accident, and
he died, whistling a few moments be-
fore death.

DON'T LIKE THEM.
Doctors Express Themselves Strongly as
to State Examinations.

ST. Paul, June 3.-"An Invention OF
the Devil to Promote Discomfort and
Retard Scientific Progress is the
definition given to state medical ex-
aminations as applied to practicing
physicians that change their residence,
by a member of the American AGA
denny of Medicine, which opened Sat
urday at the Aberdeen. Sessions were
held at II a. m, 8 p. m. and s 30 Sat-
urday evening, when the president de-
liyered his annual address.
The afternoon session was given up
to the discussion of reciprocity be-
tween states in licensing as applied to
practicing physicians that change their
residence Papers were submitted by
DIR. Charles McIntire. Easton, Penn ;
DR.. J. N. Hall and DR.. Edward jack
son of Denver All held that the laws
in states having medical practice acts
worthy of attention, while in the main
good enough for the graduate or first
applicant for license, work hardships
upon the practicing physician, who
may on removal from the state of his
original license be compelled to sub
NIT to an examination.
The speakers held that physicians
already having the legal right to prac-
tice in one state, on removing to an
other, should have privileges not accord
ed to those not yet licensed to practice,
and that those privileges could be
given without working injustice to
physician or public. Several of the
speakers attacked state boards of ex-
amines as political machines, which
assumed to be above criticism and
vastly superior to like boards in other
states The examinations were de-
nounced as nonsensical and dealing
with the Theoretical to the exclusion
of the practical experience of practi-
TONERS.
The opening session was secret. The
convention opened with about seventy
five members present. Fiftytwo ply
sicians were elected to fellowships.

nesota. The open session was devoted
to the discussion of 1.-THE First Year
