Scotland has been famous for It's horses from the most ancient days. When Agricola defeated the Caledo- nians at the battle of the Grampians. A. D. S4, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitls relates, were exceptionally strong in cavalry and charioteers. Successive kings of Scotland did much to improve it's native breed of horses, and in this connection it is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish king of Eng. land. James l.. did more to improve the race horses in our island than was ever done before him or has ever beer done by any individual since. James l. was the real author of horse racing ,,s 1t has since been known in England.

He shivered in the un- sheltered place for some hours ponder ing many things. and then bright thought struck him just as the colonel came around on his tour of inspection.

 Never dine with patient who has not paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinner 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 higher fee may be got from persons present faintins and breaking their heads against wood and the like than from the principal patient.

Secret Society Among sese islanders.

The Sese islanders have attained a peculiar notoriety in Uganda because of secret society called the Bachichi. which Is not burial society, although it's members take deep and intelli- gent interest in all deaths and burials In their midst. In the more retired vil- lages, although greatly discoura ged by the British authorities, 1t is said to be still the custom for the sorrowing rel. atives to bear the body of the deceased wrapped in bark on a rough bier to some forest thicket, desolate rayine or other unfrequented spot, where it is left unburied by the bearers. who nev- CT revisit the place again. The Bachi- chi, who are denizens of neighboring 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.
