JEALoUsIEs OF SPECIALISTS.
An Amusing Medical Comedy That is Not Mt
All n Rare Occurrence.

An Amusing Medical Comedy That is Not nj
All Rare Occurrence.
st. Louis Republic.1
Specialties in medicine have been the
rage for some years, and professional jeal.
ousy has apparently forsaken the all-round
general practitioner to concentrate within
the ranks of the specialist.
Some weeks ago DR.. Ludwig Bremen, a
specialist on nervous diseases reported to
the society case of epilepsy and the results
of an operation, for the removal of q
tumor of the brain. The doctors case
was unusual, and the daily papers took it
up. That settled the doctors case so far as
his co-laborers were concerned. The adver-
tising Bremen got was more than the other
specialists could stand, and the way they
went for the German professor was eau
ton. .
One of his brothers offered resolution
denying the possibility of the case as
Bremen had reported it. and asking for a
committee to investigate the matter. 1t was
made satisfactory afterward that Bremen
had not falsifed in his report. Then other
specialists discussed the case and came to
the conclusion that it was a very ordinary
case, and that DR.. Maughs had given
Bremen the diagnosis anyway. After the
meeting adjourned all the specialists in
sisted on being allowed to see the case, but
Bremen very mildly told them that il wasn't
much of a case, and his patient was not in
condition to be disturbed.

CURIOSITY ABOUT GOULD.

Some Say He IL Going TO Die, Others That
He VIII Soon Marry.
Clara Bells New York Letter.l
Two questions are being asked about jay
Gould, the king of American finance. Is
he going to die? Is he going to marry? A
short time ago the gossips had him engaged
TO the widow of Maurice Flynn. a politician
who died four years ago; but if Mr.. Gould
cherishes any affection for that lady am
quite sure that it will not be openly
acknowledged by a marriage, at least for
some time to come. The fact is that Mr..
Gould has always been a most unselfsh
father, and just now he is sacrificing what
ever matrimonial aspirations he may have
for the sake of his 19-year-old daughter,
Helen. Until she is married, he himself
will not take wife, and when she is / am
sure that Mr.. Gould will soon possess a
better half. Father and daughter are about
to start for Europe, and it is more than
likely that Helen will get q foreign
husband. She is a very good-looking and
a highly-bred girl, and it can be safely
anticipated that more than one title will be
laid at her feet while she is awav.
Gould is now living at his Irvington
mansion, and comes to the city every day on
his steam yacht. He certainly shows 10
some extent the ravages of physical suffer
ing. Two years ago he stood feet 6, but
now he has sunk at least two inches, never
standing erect, the appearance of his
shoulders being like that of very aged
man. He is of course the most desirable of
New York single men in the eyes of
adventurous women, and one of the annoy
ances of his life is found in the continual
efforts made to ensnare his affections. Being
a shrewd man in every sense of the word it
is probable that Mr.. Gould will not be
misied, but place his heart in the keeping
of someone that ne ieels is not wholly
governed by greed.

A sHREWD ARABIAN LAWYER.

Neat Plan for Recovering Money Out OF
Which n Client Had Been Beaten.
st. Louis Republic
when was in Arabia, said Alexander
Konta, whose home is under his hat, 81 was
told story which illustrates the resources
of the Arabian lawyer, and which may offer
some suggestion to the members of the legal
profession in this country. An English
merchant, staying at an inn in one of the
smaller towns, placed on deposit with
the landlord a300. He neglected to
take receipt for the money, and when
few weeks later, having been absent on
a short journey, he had occasion to ask for
it, the landlord opened his eyes with we'll
feigned astonishment and pretended to have
forgotten the transaction. The Englishman
was naturally enraged, but he had no proof
and no witness, and in his extremity he
sought the advice of native lawyer. The
wise man of the East reflected a moment,
and then gravely said: 'Entrust another
e300 to the keeping of the landlord, but be
sure to have witness on hand
''The EDglishman was puzzled to know
how this would hel p him, but he did as he
was directed. Now. said the lawyer the
next day, go and claim the money, but
don't take your witness with you.' This
was done, and the inn-keeper, ill-prepared
to practice the same deceit the second time,
handed over the notes. The traveller once
more sought his legal adviser, who
said to him, 1T is well. Approach
your host again, accompanied by the
witness, and demand your money.
The Englishman followed his instructions.

host. Come, now,' replied the merchant,
here is man who was present at the time.
He will tell you that he was not a witness
of what you claim. He saw me hand you the
money. Be quick, please; must leave the
city The landlord was outwitted. He saw
the trap, but 1t was too late, and without
more ado he made good the sum-"

some years ago, and was one OF the few for
tunate ones who owned several thousand of
American dollars. He invested part of
the money in laundry supply store on
Mott street, and had 81, $50 left. He was
afraid to intrust it to the banks, so he went
to rich Chinese ieweler and told MIN he
wanted to see some OF his best jade bracelets.
He selected the most valuable.
"How much?" he asked.
Eight hundred dollars" was the reply.
Wo beat the jeweler down and got it for
$3.50. But there was yet another s., 900 left.
This Wo invested in gold and diamond
bracelets, which he wore day and night on
his left wrist. Thus he made his own left
arm a savings bank, reserving the right as
a faithful guard to the istitution on his lett.
Wo was happy, and doled out sharks mn

a broad smile every Sunday.
Recently, in some mysterious way, Wo pc
came hard up for ready cash. After tossing

tier upon their tracts. After the death of
Paul Burt in 1916, the company appointed
John Jacob Vanderkamp, wealthy Hol-
lander resident in Philadelphia, his sue

policy that had been observed from the first.

he had to deal there was "the spice of inf
mite variety" that is to be found in all new
countries. Among the foreign element, es-
pecially as farmers, the Scotch-Irish and

The reputation OF Morris for integrity,
and financial address. backed by a large
fortune, gave him almost unlimited credit.
His paper was already out for enormous
sums. but notwithstanding this, six wealthy
men Of Amsterdam. by name Wilhelm Will

nitski, Christian Won Eeghen, hendrlck
Vollenhoven and Rutgert Jan Schlmmel-

the war.
OUR DEBT TO MORRIS.
Great-hearted. simple-hearted Robert
Morrisl OF all men who signed the Declar-
alton that pledged their lives, fortunes and
sacred honor in the cause of American in
dependence, his story is the most pathetic
Few remember him except as one Of the
"signers," the man who sent thousand
barrels of -four to Washington's starving
army, and the protector of Morris Folly,
that palatial residence which he was destined
never to complete or occupy. 1t seems to be
forgotten that but for the patriotism and
commanding influence OF this man Con-
gress could not have fitted out the e1-
pedition against CORVALLIS, and that II
was upon notes for which Robert Morris
was individually liable, $1,500,O0O was
raised to give this finishing blow to the war.
And vet in his old age, with his great heart
broken by misfortune, brought upon him
by his over-sanguine and trusting nature,
and by the misconduct of his partner,
Greenleaf, he had leisure, behind the bars
of debtors prison, to reflect upon the in
gratitude of republics. Surely Congress and
the American people still owed him a
mighty debt, though they had cancelled the
last OF his notes issued in their behalf.
Congress paid the Amsterdam loan after
peace was declared, and the Hollanders de-
cided to invest the money SO paid in the
United States. They bought through Rob
bert Morris and others immense bodies of
land in New York and Pennsylvania, a
large part of that territory thrown open for
sale by the act of 1892. This territory they
named Normandy" They organized the
company known as the Holland Land Com
pany, and it was from this company that the
titles to most of the land in the northwest

phia, 1heir attorney in fact, and Harm Jan

Do not call it charity or alms-these are
unmeaning words to describe duty that

practical way to commence is for two or

FERMENTATION OF MILK.
What the Scientists Have Discovered About
the Active Agents.

What the Scientists Have Discovered About
the Active Agents.
Newcastle, Eng, ChronicIe.1
Thanks to the investigations of physicists
and chemists such as Pasteur and Cohn, we
are now familiar with the physiological
notifications which milk undergoes in the
process of fermenting. An organic body is
modified through the medium of another Or
ganic body, which is called the ferment.
In some instances ferments are not only or
ganic but organized and living. and inferior
to animal and vegetable life only in size.
The Tactic ferment, which was discovered by
Pasteur, is a bacillus capable of increasing
with prodigious rapidity. 1t is a rod-like
cell contracted in the center and subdividing
into shorter cells. The germ OF Tactic fer
mentation is conveyed to milk by the air,
but milk is easily inoculated by means of
some crumbs of old cheese. The activity of
the ferment increases up to temperature Of
1920 Fab, it remains constant from 112o to
1860, but it increases as the temperature
rises. and is destroyed at 2i2o Fab.
In a suitable temperature the germs de-
velop and propagate with miraculous rapid
ity, one cell being capable of multiplying
itself to the enormous number of 10000, 900
cells in a day oil "a hours, while in two days,
ii the fermentation was allowed to proceed
at the same ratio, the product would be no
less than 2S1 ,000, ,000, 900 cells. Lactic acid
is sometimes transformed into butyric acid,
the butyric ferment developing side by side
with the Tactic ferment. The butyric fer
ment. according to Pasteur. is cylindrical
rod rounded at the ends, the cells being con-
nected by twos, threes, or fours, and some
times more. Cohn describes the same fer
ment as bacillus subtilis. cylindrical cell,
twice as long as broad, with fagellum at
each end; while Grove adds that they are
most probably in the rennet stomach Of liv-
ing animala.. This terment, according to
COhn, is the efficient cause OF ripening in
cheese, and it cannot be killed by boiling
unless it is continued for two hours. Lactic
acid is found in ensilage, brewers grains,
sour milk and gastric juice.
