NO BUSINESS TO BE ALIVE.
One Case in Which Virchow's Diagnosi
Was Erroneous.

One Case in Which Virchow's Diagnosis
Was Erroneous.
There is no name more honored
among Psychologists than that of Vir-
chow, the great German scientist, nor
is there any man who has done more
than he to prolong human life and al
leviate human suffering. Nevertheless,
he Is not infallible, and the London
Standard tells an amusing story of at
least one mistaken diagnosis which he
made.
AS private practice interfered with
his scientific studies, Virchow practised
medicine only a very short time. But
one day in later life, while his students
were waiting for their lecture at the
hospital, a gentleman knocked at the
door of the professors private room
and stated that he was not feeling
we'll and wished to consult the sayant.
Professor VirschoW examined the man
carefully, and then said:
"Why, my good friend, you have no
business to be alive at all! You are
suffering from three complaints, each
one Of which has long since arrived at
a stage which ought to have caused
your death. This is a most interesting
case; it shows that one must not al
ways believe in theory"
The patient began to feel uncomfort-
able, but Professor Virchow, in his
professional enthusiasm, did not notice
either the effect of his words or the
comical side of the situation. He add
ed: would you mind stepping into
the next room? l should like to show
you to some gentlemen who are there"
With ill-concealed nervousness the
patient followed the professor into the
lecture-room, where he was introduced
as an interesting case, and was obliged
to remain while the professor described
the nature Of the three diseases and
the progress they had made. On hear
ing again that he was practically a
dead man the patient felt a strong de-
sire to get home, and left at once
Just what part in his recovery was
played by increased care and home
remedies is not known, but the man
is still alive. When Professor Vir-
chew celebrated his S0th birthday, the
man who ought to have been dead
years ago was among those who sent
their congratulations.

CameIs Unable tn Swim

Camels cannot swim. They are very
buoyant, but Unbalanced, and their
heads go under water. They can, how
ever, be taught to swim rivers with
the aid of goatskins or jars fastened
under their necks. During the Beluchis-
tan expedition Of 1898 the camels were
lowered into the sea from the ships,
and their drivers, plunging overheard,
clambered on to the rump of their
charges, causing the animals heads to
come up; and thus assisted were sue
cessfully piloted ashore.

terday.
He thought he was addressing an
audience of deaf mutes. The fact was
that all but six of the 700 persons pres
ent were possessed of all their senses
and had come out Of curiosity, while
the mutes, whom the meeting was in
tended to attract, had remained avay.
THE parallel is scarcely exact, but it
is certain that the clergyman who has
done so much for the deaf and dumb
was disappointed.

left his own church to deliver an adj

unrolled his eloquence, translated if on
fingers, and thumbs to the great audi
ence in waiting. Sentence after SEN

full Of supposed deaf mutes.

Before sentence was passed the eX-
Governor requested permission to ad-
dress the court. For about an hour he
gave an imprisoned review Of his
life He told Of the ignominy and
shame he had felt because Of the
things newspapers had printed of him.
His fall from honor, he declared, was
due to use of opium and morphine.
In 1872 he said he was driven by So
ciaI ostracism to seek relief in NOR
phine. From that drug he went to
opium, until in New York he became
an inmate of one Of the vilest dens in
/ the city.
Then he committed his first crime
for which he was sentenced to prison.
Prison life Weaned him from the drug
but his physical and moral downfall
had been accomplished and to-day he
declared he is left old and palsied at
the age Of 61.
In the story he told it developed that
he was born in South Carolina. His
father was Chief Justice of the State,
and he was the only son. He first
came into note as the man who hoisted
the Confederate flag over Fort Sumter
after the stars and stripes had been
hauled down, and after Sumter he
served in the Confederate army.
After the close Of the civil war Moses
was one Of the first to take the oath Of
allegiance. He was Speaker of the
South Carolina House for two years,
and then was Governor for the same
length OF time. While Governor he so
incensed the people of his State by his
acts that he was several times COM
PEELED to call out troops to save him
self from violence at the hands Of
mobs. He was removed from office,
and then he began his downward ca
reer.

In addressing the students of the
University of Chicago A. G. Bartlett
said recently that a young man who
wishes to succeed in business ought to
get secondary school training that
would make it possible for him not
only to enter college without conditions
but actually to spell correctly. Mr..
| Bartlett's opinion in this matter car
ries some weight. He is thoroughly ia
miliar with the business world and
ought to know the laws that govern it.
1t is true that his opinion conflicts
with that Of certain other people. 1t
has been said in excuse of alleged lax
ity in teaching spelling that the art of
spelling is merely an accomplishment;
that it is no indication either Of
strength or of weakness of mind; that
it is better to be able to think than
to be able to spell; that an extremely
foolish man may be able to spell every
word in the language, while some ex-
tremely wise man may not be able to
spell at all, and that in view OF these
facts spelling must be regarded as one
of the minor graces of an education,
harmless, perhaps even desirable, but
by no means essential. With this view
Of the question Mr.. Bartlett is evident
ly at variance. He is convinced that
a boy should be taught spelling even
if some other things have to be neg
lected. His reason is a simple one, but
thoroughly convincing. 1t is this: En-
ployers want their young men to be
able to write business letters that will
not stultify the firm in the eyes of its
correspondents. 1t may be that the
esteem in which good spelling is now
held is nothing but blind prejudice,
and that man ought not to care
whether his letters are we'll spelled or
not. This may be. But the actual con-
dition now and here Is chat men do
esteem good spelling and that they do
want their letters spelled in conform
ity with established custom A wise
young man who is entering business
life viii bear this in mind and will &C
commodate himself to circumstances,
whatever he may think of their phil
osophical justification.
