The physicians OF mc..ia.val Eng.
land, who We're for the most peSt
monks, frtars or Jews, posscsse! a
large assortment OF remedies, some Of
them borrowed from the byzantine
physicians. others from the traditional
practice of the people. Christian ply
sicians. however, called religion to their
aid. None of their remedies was adj
ministered without ceremonial While
the medicine was being compounded
the patient would say twelve times
over one of the psalms. beginning
"Mlserere mel. Deus" tlen several
paternosters, then drin,. the dose and
wrap tliyself up warm" CT he would
sing the psalm, "Salvum Me Fac.
Deus" then drink the draft out of a
church bell. the priest finishing the
cure with prayer.
DIR. Creighton remarks that. as the
maladies of the middle ages contained
an unusual element of hysteria. the
ceremonial may not have come amiss
as an aid to the treatment. Physicians
gained considerable fees by tlicir prac-
tice, which the people appear to lave
srudged them. The satirical writer's
constantly accuse them of greed. but
these charges We're probably owing to
the prevalence of the idea, not vet
extinct, that as medicine Is from the
Lord God" the lecch was not entitled
to money payment-London Spec

A Word ON 1t. rr.vel,.

1t seems n curious coincidence that
the little skin which skins the waters
OF the Bosporus Is called kayik. or.
IN the French spelling, caique, a
word apparently Identical with the
Eskimo kayak. This kayik is gen
uine Turkish word, which must have
been the property Of the undivided
Turkish race in their primitive seat In
the neghborhood of Lake Baikal prior
to the great separation which took the
Seljuks westward to the Bosporus
and the Yakuts northward down the
Lena to the shores Of the Arctic ocean.
We find the word among the Turkish
tribes Of the khanates-kayak, for in.
stance, meaning n ship in the Tshaga-
tai of Khiva-and the Yakuts also took
1t with them in their northward micra-
ton. kayik meaning a keel boat in
Yakut.
The probability seems to be that the
kayak, denotins etymologically canoe
of birch bark" originated on the
shores of Lake Baikal and that the
Eskimos ut the mouth Of the Lena
borrowed the invention and its name
from the Yakuts and took 1t with
them in their migratlons across Bering
strait to the shores Of Greenland.

Americans, as Il rule, do not take to
pipes as much as Engiishmen, for the
reason that very few of them know
how to smoke. They carry their i'm
pulsive, energetic natures into their
pipe smoking and pun away as If their
existence depended on finishing the
pipe in n given time. have seen an
American and an Englishman sit down
for quiet smoke and chat, and the
American would fill his pipe twice to
the Englishman's once. A pipe, to be
enjoyed, should be smoked slowly, but
the art in smoking SO Is to keep the
pipe lighted. This is knack which
seems to only be well understood ON
the other side Of the pond. The aver
age American pipe smoker uses match
after match with every pipeful. Peo-
pie come in to select tobacco, and the
one thing they seek for-it is the con-
stant cry-is II tobacco that will not
bite the tongue" There is no tobacco
that will come up to this Requirement
If smoked us pipe smokers usually do.
1t is not the tobacco, but the heat from
the fire in the bowl, that burns the
tongue.-London Graphic.

duke, who was born in peasants cot
