Fourteenth Century Doetcrs.

Synge's Social Life In England quotes number of four; eenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing, say there d an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps the patient will say Nay. master it is my head or legs that trouble me- Repeat that it comes from the liver, and especially use the word ''obstruc tion," for patients do not understand 1t. which Is important.
 Never dine with patient who has not paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinnef at an inn. for such feasts are usually deducted from the surgeons fee.
 When you are treating a wound or accident. the friends of the patient should be excluded. for they may faint and cause disturbance. but some times a higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and tue like than from the principal patient.

Secret Society Among sess islanders.

Secret Society Among Sess islanders.
 The Sese islanders have attained peculiar notoriety in Uganda because of a secret society called the Bachichi. which is not a burial society. although It's members take deep and intelli- gent interest in all deaths and burials in their midst. In the more retired will lages. although greatly discouraged by the British authorities. it Is said to be still the custom for the sorrowing rel atiyes to bear the body of the deceased wrapped in bark on rough bier to some forest thickct. dcsolate ravine or other unfreQuented spot. where it Is left unburied by the bearers. who ncv- CT revisit the place again. The Bachi- chi. who are deniz"ns of neighborinS village. and distant relatives of the deceased avoid the necessity of burial or cremation and show their respect for the deceased by simply eating him. -National Magazine

DANES DOUBT COOK
COPENHAGEN ALTERS.
University, 1t Is Reported,
May Reject Explorers Claims.

Copenhagen. Dec 1S.-It is learned
several members Of the consistory of the
University of Copenhagen are exceed
ingly angry over the rector's preliminary
report, one of them expressing regret
that the university had not waited until
DR. Cooks claim that he reached the
pole had been proved before honoring
him.
The consistory at a secret session to-
day received report covering the first
stage of the work of the committee
which is examining the north polar rec
ords Of Dr. Cook.
The report was presented by Rector
Torp, but its nature was carefully
guarded from other than members of the
consistory. The latter are pledged to
secrecy. 1t was admitted. however, that
the work thus far accomplished provoked
an animated debate among the univer-
sity officials. To the newspaper men
Rector Torp said:
The committees work is not Yet fin
ished. 1 cannot tell how long it will con-
tinue, but / hope that the result can be
made public before New Years. Both
the members of the consistory and the
examining committee have been forbid
den TO make public anything whatever
regarding what has been accomplished
thus far by the investigators.
\ high authority says, however. that
the committee in its preliminary exam
inations of his records failed to discover
proof that DR.. Cook reached the pole.
The result of to-day's discussion was
a request on the part of the consistory
that the committee continue its work
The university body will leave 10 the in
vestigators proper the matter of making
public later the results of their inquiries
Popular opinion here appears TO have
undergone a gradual change From the
beginning Of the controversy the pOpu-
lace of Copenhagen has been decidedly
pro-Cook. Patriotism has strengthened
this sentiment. Recent developments.
however, have been disappointing. and
to-day the general impression prevails
that DR.. Cooks papers as submitted do
not constitute proof that he discovered
the North Pole.
The Copenhagen newspapers up 10 the
present have been wholly friendly 10 Or
Cook, but il is learned that some OF the
leading dailies tomorrow will print ar
ticles throwing doubt on Cooks trust
wortniness. They will point out that the
Danish people regarded Cook in the light
of national hero, and hope still that
he is an honest man. The slightest evi-
dence that this is not the case. the pa
pers assert will oppress all Danes with

1t is a well known fact. however. that

Sale of Bal Player Sad to 20
late 18th amendment.

WiIkes-B Barre. Penn, Dec. 1S.-That the
sale Of a baseball player from one club
to another is a direct violation of the
Thirteenth Amendment TO the Constitu-
ton of the United States. which prohibits
slavery, is a point raised in the Luzerne
County Court here in a suit involving
the transfer of a player from one or
gauization to another The suit is ex-
pected to attract considerable attention
among baseball club owners and players
Last July the owners of the Wilkes
Barre club of the New York State
League purchased from the Allentown
team OF the Atlantic League Joseph Pele-
quin, a pitcher. The price agreed on was
$500. Three hundred dollars was paid
in cash and a note given for the re-
mainder. The note was allowed TO go
to protest, and the manager of the Al
lentown club, who negotiated the sale of
Pelequin, brought suit 70 recover the
$500. a justice Of the peace gave judg-
ment against the club
To-day the manager of the Wilkes
Barre club filed with the court a defence
in the suit He holds that the sale of
a baseball player is in direct violation Of
the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution, and therefore the note given
is void The manager also filed other rea-
sons why the note should not be Maid
one being that the note was not valid
unless countersigned by the directors Of
the club. The court will not take action
in the matter until next month.
