ical man at Chars, had left will by
which he bequeathed all his surgical
and medical appliances, free Of legacy
duty, to the two students obtaining
their degree ut the examination next
after the decease of the testator.
The two students selected were to be
those who came out No. IL and No.
"a in the list. The other lucky man
was NJ. Georges Labey, who was to
make an appointment to go with NJ.
Leiilliatre to fetch the property. At
first it was thought that the letter
was a hoax, as practical jokes are
common among medical students,

place indicated, and were there duly
presented with an exceptionally fine
collection of instruments and access

tween them. They learned that their
being specially chosen was due to the
fact that the deceased doctor had
twice passed an examination, and he
had on those occasions been No. IA
and No. 81 on the lists.
