Ancient Skates.

The English chronicler has recorded that the youth Of London in the twelfth century understood the art of flying over the ice like birds ill the air. but the origin Of skating Is far more an- cient.

Secret Society Among sese I.Iander,

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

Fourteenth Century Doctors.

Synge's Social Life in England" quotes number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing, say there is an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps the patient will say, May, master, 1t is my head or legs that trouble me-" Repeat that 1t 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 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 a higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the like than from the principal patient.
