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, it 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 it, 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 a 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.

Secret Society Among sese isIandsra
 The Sese islanders have attained a peculiar notoriety in Uganda because of a secret society called the Bachichj. 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 vil- lages. although greatly discouraged 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 rough bier to some forest thicket, desolate ravine or other unfrequented spot, where 1t is left unburied by the bearers, who nev.

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.

THE MILITARY SQUARE.
A Formation Borrowed by WaiIaes
 From the EIeminos,

The greatest of all Scottish anniver- saries is that of Bannockburn. fought in the year 1914. Apart from it's bear. ing on the Independence of Scotland, the battle will always have an excep. tional interest from the military point of view, as Bannockbu may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. 'Proud Edwards" army mainly consisted of cavalry while that of the Scots, on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spenf. and these Bruce threw into "scli!. troms." or oblong squares, forma tion borrowed by Wallace from the Elem tngs who had employed it with sue cess at Courtray to resist the charge Of the English cavalry.
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and Bannockburn proved that he was powerless to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in 'schiltrom." or hedgehog forma- lion. and these two battles revolution tzed the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profting by the 'esson which had been taught them at Bannockburn. the English applied rhe tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at \gineourt. As it was the Scots who nay be said to have originated the
 ai'ish square at Bannorkburn. so it 'fss they again who af Ba!a klava were 'le first t. discard it with their thin

safely brought to the hospice. Then
Barry disappeared As he often passed
hours in the pass coming to the hospice
OF his absence was taken until Monday
morning when search was organized
and the dog was found in the debris of
an avalanche.
Barry III Is supposed to have been a
direct descendant of one of the three ia
nous st Bernards 10 whom this breed of
dogs owes it's continued existence
The monks of ST. Demands Hospice
had been breeding the dogs almost ever
since st. Bernard founded the institution
in the twelfth century. In the middle OF
the nineteenth century an avalanche
swept away the kennels in which the
dogs were kept, and only three were
saved Their names were Pluto. Pallas
