literally "Yea" and May" He has
theory which he expresses in the
maxim Take rest before you are
tired, and accordingly he sits down
every eight or ten steps. His de-
mesnor towards doctors with whom he
happens to be uuacquainted makes
him greatly feared by them. and some
eight years ago kind OF public agits-
tion was got up in opposition to him
in which many hundreds of doctors
took part. Resolutions were passed
and addresses were presented, and

No colloqulnl code OF manners will do,
hut the standard must be the custom
Of cultured circles all over the world
Every two weeks some member OF
the council presents some original dis.
cussion to be read nj chapel to the

first one being manners In Public
Places" which II young Junior treated
In scholarly way. Other essays to
follow are on Letters and Letter

to Avoid" etc,
