No sooner had the doctor concluded his speech
than, to the astonshment of the assembly, the Pre-
feet stepped out of the circle around the coffin, and
hat in hand begged to be permitted to correct the
statement of the previous speaker that owing to Dr.
Jais having been Jew the Government tardy
to recognize his merits. 1.-THE French Republic said

of the Project called forth had subsidized Baron Vol

scene at a Gravestoe.

In town where the fire of anti-Semitism throws
out it's vest fumes, DR.. Felix Jais, young Jewish
surgeon Of Agiers, has quietly laid down his life in
exemplary devotion to duty. Several cases of
typhus having recently been discovered in Agiers,
notably in the palace of the Governor General whose
son died of the dread disease stringent measures
were taken to prevent its spread and the several
persons stricken with the fever were isolated in the
El-Ketar Hospital. DR. Jais was among the first to
volunteer to assist the medical staff in tending the
patients. Soon the sad was spread that Dr.
Jas, while nursing inmate back to life and health
had himself succumbed to the horrible malady.
The Consistoire Israelite in view Of the heroic
death of the young DOCTOR took upon itself the duty
of arranging the obsequies and the oldest inhabit
ant OF Algiers fails to recall imposing Jewish
funeral, and one that evoked such widespread and
sympathetic interest Inront of the hearse an official
of the ElKetar Hospital bore a velvet cushion the
gold decoration which, by order of the Minister of
the Interior, had been awarded to the deceased on
the day of his death for his exceptional services to
the typhus patients. The Grand Rabbin, with sew
eral other synagogue officials, walked behind, and
these followed, likewise foot by Lieut.-Col-
one Teben, representing the Governor General; M
Lutaud the Project of Algiers; the anti Jewish Mayor
and several municipal councillors Detachments of
various medical societies, bearing sumptuous wreaths
lent touch of color to the sombre procession which
was brought up by the rank and file Of the Algerian
Jewish community The cortege, stretching it did
far as the eye could see, must numbered
ten thousand persons.
At the graveside after touching GRAFTON by the
Grand Rabn, M. Bloch DR.. Salistier consulting ply
slcian Of the hospital delivered brief allocuton in
the course of which he expressed his pain at the
thought that, solely because of his Jewish faith the
valiant young man who had so nobly died on the
field of honor, had not received the gold decoration
of the Government until the day of his DEATH while
others who had not shown half his skill and devo-
ii IN had received it long before.

GOLF AND NEUROLOGY.
Game Has Value in Treatment of Nerv-
Gus Diseases.

1t has been said that every oSler
man in America is now so addicted
to Scotch ways and habits that he
wears heather-tweeds, plays golf,
drinks Scotch" and says "Hoot
mon" Of such must be DR.. Irving
G. Rose, Washington, who contrib
uted to the American Neurological
association paper on golf from neu-'
Biological viewpoint DR..
Rose is evidently new to the game
and knows little of its history, or he
would know that fatal accidents have
occurred, at least in Scotland, from
golf bail strokes. There is a great
deal TO be said in favor Of golf for
those suffering from heart LESSONS,
artcrial Qualification or certain hys-
terical conditions, and undoubtedly
as a medical adjunct it is not to be
despiscd. Dr. Rose, while enjoining
moderation, alleges that benefit has
been derived in some cases Of cough,
nervous asthma and in affections of
the bladder and prostate; but it is
prominently in functional nervous
disease that our great Anglo-Saxon
game is to be recommended both as
a prophylactic and curative. AS to
its being certain remedy for in
SOmnia there may be some doubt, as
we have met, within the last few days
on the golf course, 2 golfee WIG de-
spite his golf exercise suffered from
insomnia A great deal might be said
in favor of golf as a mental and nerv-
Gus tonic, but not to the exclusion Of
other sports which have many of the
same advantages. Undoubtedly it is
a good thing for the physician to
know from his own actual experience
the physical requirements Of differ
cnt games and their physiological
uses. The use of golf as a remedy
in the treaty Of nervous ailments of
a functional character, whether they
affect the mental or visceral spheres,
is worthy of all consideration

An Albany abgIer had a unique

NEVER THOUGHT OF 1T.
The obtuse Farmer Tried to Lift the
Wagon.

One day, as Jock Samson was at
work in the harvest field, he was busy
on the top of his cart loading the
sheaves, and the farmer was below
pitching.
All at once Jock wondered why no
sheaves were being delivered to him,
and hearing sounds of putting and
blowing, he looked over the side of
the cart, and saw the old farmer vain
ly trying to lift the wheel off sheaf
OF corn. "
The perspiration was streaming
down his face, and hearing Jock
laughing above him, he looked up and
cried:
"What are you laughing at? Come

When the Queen Travels.

When the queen travels the loco
motive superintendent selects the en-
CINE, He places on it his most expe-
rienced driver. A pilot engine, with
a firm, cautious man, well acquainted
with the road, precedes the royal
train. On her journey by the West
Coast route no fewer than 800 tele-
grams are sent from point to point
heralding her approach. No train is
allowed to cross the main line for
half an hour before the time fixed for
the queen to pass; the gates at the
level crossings are locked, shunting
operations are suspended and an army
of platelayers are on duty, on the
alert to remove any obstruction from
the line. Her majesty declines to per-
nit faster pace than SO miles an
hour.

entirely clo.ed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be

SHERLOCK HOLMES.
Where Conan Doyle Got the Idea for
His Famous Detective.

DR.. Conan Doyle got his first idea
of his famous detective, Sherlock
Holmes, from an old professor Of
medicine at the Edinburgh UNIVERSE
ty, says the New England Home Mag
azine. This man would sit in the pa
tients' waiting-room with face like
a red Indian, and diagnose the people
as they came in, even before they had
opened their mouths. lie would tell
them their symptoms, and he would
give them the details of their lives.
Gentlemen" he would say to the
students standing about, "I'm not
quite certain whether this man is
cork cutter or a slater. l observe
slight callous or hardening on one
side Of his forefnger and a little
thickening on the outside of his
thumb. That is a sure sign that he is
either one or the other"
His deductions were dramatic.
"Ahp he would say to another man,
''you are a soldier, noncommission-
ed officer, and you have served in Der
muda. Now, gentlemen, how did /
know that? He came into the room
without taking df bis hat, as he
would go into an ordinary room. He
was a soldier. A slightly authorize,
tive air, combined with his age, shows
that he was a noncommissioned Off
Ger. A rash on his forehead tells me
that he was in Bermuda and subject
to a certain rash known only there"

Lives the Life Of Recluse Near Camp
heIIsharE, Ind.


Completely lost from the world and
living the life of recluse in the woods
near Campbellsburg, Ind, is 4 son of
Grand Marshal Ney, whose star was
almost as lustrous as that of his lead
er, Napoleon, and whose story is told
in the bloodstains of Waterloo and the
great battle fields Of those years when
France threatened to plant her flag
over the entire world. The recluse,
Nsy, was born in France during those
stirring years when his father was
with Napoleon, sending shock along
the backbone Of evdThation on earth.
There is a marked contrast between
the scenes Of his boyhood and the life
he is leading to-day He resides by
himself, refuses to talk with anyone,
and especially on his history, and,
buried in seclusion, he seems to only
await the end. He leads the life of a
bachelor, Several efforts have been
made to get an inkling of what led
up to the present life. Heis a very
finely educated man and is very sensi-
tive. 1t is thought that he became
disguised with the ingratitude of imam
as he viewed it through the treatment
of his father, and that he not only left
France, but he tried to free himself
from all connection with the world.
When he came to Indiana it was a
great forest, and for many years he
lived unnoticed and unknown, spend
ing his time reading and thinking.
He seldom goes away from his solitary
rendezvous, and then only as necessity
requires. He refuses interviews, stat
ing that he has written out the only
statement he will ever make, and it
will not be published until he dies.
He will probably justify his fathers
actions. He has plenty Of money
