Mediciae ana Ceremonial.

The physicians Of medieval Eng
land, who We're for the most part
monks, friars or Jews, possessed 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 ad-
ministered without ceremonial. While
the medicine was being compounded
the patient would say twelve times
over one Of the psalms, beginning
"Miserere mel, Deus" then several
paternosters, then: drink the dose and
wrap myself up warm" or 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.
4. DR.. 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 their prac-
tice, which the people appear to have
grudged them. The satirical writer's
constantly accuse them Of greed, but
these charges were probably owing to
the prevalence of the idea,s not yet
extinct, sthat as medicine is from the
Lord God" the leech was not entitled
to a money payment.-London Spec

very special provision is made by the
priests in the temples. This iss a spe-
cial function OF the third night.
The 'ssayonara," or farewell ceremo-
NAL. Is the final scene, and a pathetic
performance it is. On the last night,
the evening Of the 10th. the spirits
must all return whence they came to
earth Tor their brief visitation, and
nothing has been neglected in prep
aration for their departure. Sweet
poetical messages Of love and good
will have been written with assiduous
care and real reverence. These love
letters have been placed in beautiful
little boats made Of barley straw, to-
gether with delicate morsels Of various
kinds Of food for the Journey; also
miniature lanterns are deposited in the
tiny craft, for the departing friends
will need light on the mystic way.
The boats are about twelve inches in
length. Another tiny lantern is attach
ed'to the PROV. This is lighted, and in
cense'is set afame in the stern. Then
the little craft Is launched on creek,
canal, river or sea. And far into the
night, as these phantom fleets glide
along, the waters CLEAN with the spar

Persons who are envious of those

Apropos of this, an amusing story is
told Of General Lefevre, duke~of Dant-

from a friend Of his youth, who com
mented, not without feelings of envy,
on the dignities and riches which the
duke, who was born in a PEASANTS cot
tage, had acquired in many battles and
by his faithful services.

TROUBLE AMONG RANcHERs
Small Stockmen Of the Northwest Up
in Arms Against Cor
porations.

A change Is going on In the far
northwest--the small stockman in
Oregon is up in arms against the men
that hold large areas of state land I'M
der lease. A vast acreage OF good
wheat land. also. as well as grazing
land. is under the control Of the large
ranchers and corporations, and the
time for a reimbursement of conditions
is at hand. The Portland oIegonian
says:
1.-THE labors Of the small rancher or
small stockman are much more ardu-
ous than those Of the man who con-
trolls many thousand acres, but the
small operator in most cases gets all
there is out of the land, while the
large owner Is more inclined 10 handle
II in a careless. slipshod fashion. Land
throughout the Pacific northwest mas
increased quite rapidly in value with
in the past few years. and il is falling
into the hands of experienced farmers
who are coming in from the middle
west. where high cultivation and care
FIJI management are much more OF
necessity than in this country. Win
the increasing value of the land it be-
comes necessary TO secure the maxi
mum in the way of production in order
that the land may return a fair per-
, ntage of profits on the investment
This is a much easier problem on a
small farm than on large one, ana
NOT until the entire Pacific northwest
IS cut up into small farms will we Sc
cure the most remunerative returns
possible from our farm and grazing
lands. The land barons east OF the
mountains may succeed in defea'ins
the present plans OF The small stock
men but in the end they will be forced
to succumb."

Nearly every successful man is
time saver and men who are in the pub
lie eve to-day are noted for their ability
10 make each moment count when they
are at work. and even when they are at
play. President Roosevelt is said TO
Slip into the pocket Of his riding coat
paper and pencil. II during his ride he
should frame a reply TO some difficult
question brought to his attention he JOS
il down Immediately and does not trust
10 his memory. President Loubet. OF
France. settles some Of the momentous
questions of state at his breakfast table
when he is practically alone and before
his reasoning powers are distracted by
small and petty questions. Lord Roth
schild commences his days work in bed
He receives his confidential men MOI
only in bed. but while be is dressing ane
breakfasting. When he leaves his
country house for town he is ready TO
hear about other peoples affairs, but be
fore that time he has done what many
men would regard as good days work
for himself Dr. Ingram, bishop OF Lon
don. is obliged TO travel great deal
and he has special kind OF electric
reading lamp fitted into the inside ci
his carriage. so that while he is beinf
whirled through the streets of London
in the evening he can keep up his liter.
airy work.
