ORIGIN of the Vvater-Cure.

The water-cure or hydropathy, owes its ORR
gin to the fertility of invention of Silesian
peasant. Vincenz Priessnitz. Having at the
age of thirteen sprained his wrist, young
Priessnitz intuitively applied it to the
pump; and afterward to continue the relief
thus obtained, he bound upon it an Unsctldg,
or wet bandage. Bewetting this as it be-
came dry, he reduced the Inflammation, but
excited rash on the surface of the part.
Soon after, having crushed his thumb, he
again applied the bandage, and the pain
once more subsided, but the rash reappeared.
He inferred that the rash indicated an
impure blood and this conclusion was
strengthened by the result of experiments
which he was induced to try upon injuries
and ulcers in the case of some of his neigh
bors, since the rash in some instances ap-
| peared after the treatment, and in others
! did not. Thus he was led to frame for him
self humoral pathology of all diseases. and
a dc ctrine of the elimination of morbific
matter by ''crisis." According to this view.
| the cure of disease is to be effected bv
favoring the activity of those organs through
which the publication of the system is car
ried on, and, through regulated and pure
dietary and correct regimen, preventing
furth' mt rbid accumrl lations. In his nine
teenth year, being run over by a cart, Prl-
essnitz had some ribs broken and received
severe b uises on learning that the
physicians pronounced his case hopeless, he
tore off their bandages, and recovered under
the renewed application of the JFmscltldq
and replaced his ribs by initiating the lung.
while pressing the abdomen against win
dow sill. This incident confirmed the idea
and initiated the practice of the water cure

Acurious Court Custom

A letter from Washington to the
Baltimore Sun says: "From the ear
liest days of District juries it has been
the custom on the trial of civil cases
for the successful attorney to hand the
jury at the conclusion of the suit the
sum of 50. The common tradition is
that this comes from an old Maryland
custom, and is ,signed to pay fer the
liquor and tobacco used by the jurors
during the trial. Its real source is q
provision of the old Maryland law
taxing 81 90 as the costs of the Jury,
the jurors then receiving no other pay
Now, however, all jurors in the Dis
trict receive So per day, and it is the
opinion of excellent lawyers that.the
right to collect the 80 has long since
taken away. AS, however, the fee is
paid by the successful party just when
he is in the best humor at having
gained the suit, the money Is univoC-
sally handed over without de,uur.-
To day, however, in the appeal case
OF Joyce against Painter, determiucd
in the Circuit Court; the plaintiffs
judgment was for only 81 rs. and his
attorney objected to paying the jury
80. Judge Humphreys ruled that the
jury was entitled to receive the monef
anu it was paid.

Public Education, with Judge Hall as
its first President. Under his wise and
liberal management the school system
prsspered and flourished, until they
now number II schools, 9S rooms, over
100 teachers and over 5000 scholars,
with school property valued at $178,-
305.
On the goth OF March, 1870, after 1S
years of service. Judge Hall met the
Board of Education fer the last time,
and announced that on account OF his
advancing age and increasing infirmi.
ties he would be obliged to retire from
the Board. His retirement was re-
ceivcd with unanimous expression
Of regret from the members of the
Board.
Judge Hall also served in other
public capacities. For thirty years he
was President of the Delaware State
Bible Society, and was President of
the Wilmington Savings Society from
1928 until late in his life. He was
elected President of the Delaware
Historical Society when in his S4th
year, and was ruling elder in Han
over Presbyterian Church, from Sept,
1929, until the time of his death. He
was also twice elected Delegate to
the General Assembly. He was a
valued member of the church. consis.

lar in his attendance, and devoted in
his interest to the church, Sunday
| School and his Bible class.
All movements tor the benefit OF
Society received Judge Halls hearty
aid and cooperation. He lectured fol-
the benefit of the Apprentices School,
of the Delaware Academy of Natural
Sciences, and addressed the literary
Societies of Delaware College. The
Temperance cause he ardently supper
ted, and on the slavery question he
favored African colonizali IN, and was
President of the African Colonization
Society of Delaware.
The sketch closed by referring to
Judge Halls married life and domestic
; relations; to his personal and moral
characteristics; to his benevelence pun.
ctuality, clearness of perception and
soundness of judgment; to his abbor.
renee of evil, his undemonstrative
charity, his great self-abnegation, and
his faitnfulness in the performance of
every duty. His, efforts for public
progress during his life were comfort
to him in later years, and in letter to
a old friend he said, 81 trust have
done something for others"
To the last he kept pace with the
progress of the times, and the improve.

his faculties vigorous, and as late as

On the 10th of May 1875, the change
