DOMAN SACRIFICE IN RUSSIA

A curious cake of human sacrifice for rel ligious purposes has come to light at Bayander, | near Tiflis (says a Russian paper), in the Can- casus, A villager named Aslamaroff, who is accused of having murdered his son- some time ago told his friends at church that he had just killed his son as a sacrifice to God. Ac cording to his explanation, two years previous, when he was lying ill, Br, Nicolas and St. John appeared to him and brought him-to Jezus Christ. Who said to him that he would re- cover if he promised to sacrifice to God bis son, who would be bom to him. Anlamazoff

promised to do so, and actually recovered. When his wife bore him a son some months ago he cut the infant's throat on Easter Eve' on the church terrace. At present he is being detained in the asylum.

There is a dearth of doctors in the land (says the London Daily News, and it is said Ger many contemplates meeting our noad by send- ing some of i's medical mon to this country.

"For the last ten years," said a prominent official in the medical world, the number of medical students has been steadily diminishing in this country. Despite the increase in popu. lation, there are fewer doctors to-day than there were ten years ago."

"Are there not enough doctors for ordinary needs?"

"I would rather express it by saying that at the present time the medical profession is under-supplied.
