atta on the day following that on which they
were sold, they were bought back for a pint
of adulterated brandy. When they had n�
more furs, and could not get any more liquor
on credit, they hired out their wives and
daughtm s to the French soldiers and settlers
for immoral purposes. The missionary
states that they did not rake the liquor be-
cause they liked it but they wished to get
drunk. They would fast in order to get the
full strength of the strong. think upon an
empty stomach. When going to fight they
would drink in order to liefiorne courageous.
Terrible scenes were to be witnessed m the
camps runic' these drunken orgies. Intoxi-

shooting each other, eating themselves and
killing -their wives and children. When

North West, liquor was used by :the native
population to a great •extent, resulting in
debauchery and Crime. Henry's journal as
-published by C. N. Bat says : "A eommen
dram shop in a civilized counery is a Para-
dise in comparison to the Indian trade when
two or more interests were engaged.",
Drinking matches were frequently held by
the natives doring Which serious tights took
place and some of the Indians were killed.
Henry says that during the whiter of 1801-2,
stabbing affrays resulting from drinking
matches were Of frequent occurrence. Again
it is said: An Indian arrived With hie family

Rest as a Medicine.
A physician, writing of rest as a medicine,
recommends a short tiepin the middle of the
day, for those who can take it, a beneficial
addition to the night'a sleep. It divides the
working time, gives the nervous system 0
fresh hold on life fund enables one to do more
than make up for the tune so occupied. A
caution is given nottinst the indolgeece hz
too long a sleep at.such 0100, under a
penalty of disagreeable relaxation. There
has been much discussion regarding the alter -

ous, bu t it is, nevertheless, natural an d whole-
