AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE.

The superintendent of Johns Hop kins hospital, Baltimore, mas officially stated that the experiments made up- on eight llnatics with thyroid ex- tract did not take place in that hos pital, but at the Bayview asylum, and, beyond publishing , the report, the Johns Hopkins hospital had noth- ing to do with the matter Dr. Berk- ley of the Johns Hopkins hospital states: ''In the case of the patient who died the treatment was discon- tinued after the eleventh day, and she died seven weeks later of consump- tion. Experiments with the extracts have been made in Canada and Eng land more frequently than they have 1n this country. The experiment here points out conclusively that the ad- ministratiOn of even the very best and purest of the commercial desi- cated thyroid tablets is not unattend- ed by danger to the health and life of the patient, and that at times the administration of even limited amount of the gland may be followed by symptoms not only difficult to control, but of very marked indu- ence upon the future mental powers of the subject"
 Miss Rosalie LoeW, counsellor at law, claims the honor of being the first woman who has ever served as 6 juror in New York state. It was at Judge Goldfogle's Fifth judicial dis trict court in Clinton street, Brook lyn, the other day, when a landlord and tenant case came up for trial. A juror was needed and it seemed a hopeless task to fill the last panel, when Judge Goldfogle suggested that perhaps the vacant seat in the jury box might be filled by one of the law yers present. The counsel objected, put when they looked in the direction in which the courts eye was turned and saw well dressed young lady they said they would be much pleased to have Miss Rosalie Loew fill the va cant chair. Afterward the judge re- marked that Miss Loew made a mod el juror. She paid the closest atten- tion to all the testimony, and at no time did she allow it to be noticed that she wanted to be more lawyer than juryman.

This sum is about equal to, if not more, than the cost &n money, of the whole war
