A Strange Discovery.

Doctors have Just been forcibly remind
ed Of the existence Of two odd and prac-
ticaIly unknown features OF the human
body.
They consist Of pair Of little globes
Of fat, lying in the back. the purposes Of
which have thus far as completely deaed
investigation as have those OF the vermi-
form appendix. These are denominated
the supra-renal capsules.
In a case recently under treatment at
the University Of Pennsylvania Hospital
the patient hal been the victim OF can
cerous growta, which eventually dis
tributed Itself throughout the entire body
lodging in many organs. but which had
its origin IN these capsules. Il is be-
lieved to be the first case Of the sort in
the experience Of the medical profess
sion.
Researches after the patients death re
vealed that the heretofore unconsidered
organs have an active connection with
the entire circulation. which establishes
the existence Of a previously unknown
character OF disease.

READING DURING MEALS

A Washington physician is quoted
as having said that any man who
reads while taking his meals is n
fool. The reasons given for this
statement were that the mind of the
reader is distracted from his food,
and is forced to work at the same
time as the stomach. and that ner-
vous dyspepsia is the logical result.
- Like many other sweeping state
ments. this one is about half true
The benefit or harmfulness OF read
ing AT meals depends on several diff
ferent things, chief of which Is the
character of the reading. If a bust
ness man, who has had no time to
look at the market quotations during
business hours, catches up a news
paper and continues TO study the
problems of his daily life while at
his luncheon, the result probably will
be nervous dyspepsia. The same viii

biological or chemical. or mechanical
work to the table with him. or of the
teacher who eats with a book prom
ped up beside his plate, that he may

The English Chronicle Play"

A new work. entitled The English
Chronicle Play" has just been completed
By Prof Felix f. scheIIing. Of the Eng
lish department Of the University Of
Pennsylvania The new publication is
study Of the popular historical literature
environlng Shakespeare. Prof ScheIling
gives a very complete story Of the origin
Of the English chronicle play. in its re-
lations TO the wealth OF historical Iitera-
ture in its growth and decline.
The drama treating Of English history
began with the flush OF patriotic triumph
in the repulse Of the Spanish Armada in
1888 It rose to an artistic utterance with
Aarlowe and reached its climax in Shake
speare's trioIogy Ci Henry " and Y. de-
chning with the accession Of King James.
but continuing in scattering examples to
the year 1912. Within this period $50
plays are recorded which deal with sub
jects drawn from the history OF Eng
land, treating the reigns Of every mon
arch from Edward the Confessor to Eliza
beth herself. and laying under contribu-
ton the legends OF early Roman. Celtic
and Saxon times.
The discussion of form Of drama TO
which Shakespeare devoted a third Of
his attention cannot but give to Shake
speare prominent place. But effort has
been made not to obtrude the main figure
but rather TO present the master dramat-
list in The English Chronicle Play" as
the crown Of 2 natural and logical pro-
cess Of growth.

days task. All this sort of thing
is brain-work, continued through
meals, when the brain ought TO be
diSsociated from the things asso-
ciated with daily labor, and it is just
as harmful as dreaming about ones
work or lying awake of nights TO
think about IL.
On the other hand, there are some
people who have contracted the habit
of reading at meals because they
usually have 20 eat alone or in I'M
congenial company. and the reading
distractS their minds from thoughts
of business OF personal worries. They
take up the newspaper or the maya
zine or the novel precisely as other
people engage in cheerful converse
ton at meals, and the result Is very
much the same. The mind Is pleas
antly occupied. without too much
strain, and the reader LOes not think
too much about what he is eating
which is sometimes an advantage. 1t
is notorious that those who are al
ways thinking and talking food are
the people most likely to have indi-
geStiOn.

The earliest instance of the use Of a
middle name in England was that Of Philip
Crese Fri, whose name appears in the
records in the fourteenth year OF Ed
ward rs reign 1885, In 1913 there was a
London surgeon by the name of John
SweraIe Love There were double names

named Henrietta Maria This use Of
Maria was common IN France and Italy
in earliest times. SickIy children were
given the name to ensure the aid Of the
Virgin Mary. and often the double name.
Anna Maria" was given 10 invoke the
power Of both the Virgin and her mother.
This compound was soon corrupted in
England into Mary Ann. % and in this
form has come down TO US.
For a long time royalty monopolized

A SKETCH OF JOHN w. OROGS,

1T IS quite the thing among men who
have won position and honors in
i America to boast that they are self
made" John ". Griggs. who recent
ly retired from the post Of Attorney Gen
eraI Of the United States. TO reap the
golden harvest which his reputation had
prepared for hin; in the fields OF corpora
ton practice at The bar, is not one OF this
number.
To Garrett A. Hobart. the first man who
had the genius 70 make the Vice Presi-
dency a post OF far-reaching influence and
high honor. Mr.. Griggs ascribes his bril-
liant success, and cOnfesses that but for
his feIlow-townsman and friend he would
still be content with the moderate fees OF
a Paterson IN j. lawyer. instead OF re-
eeiving the tat retainers OF big corpora
tiOns.
In 1875 Mr.. Hobart put Mr.. Griggs for
ward as his successor in the State As
sembly. and Mr. Griggs performed a
large part OF the work Of revising the
statutes OF the State TO conform 20
the new constitution. and the following
year proved a clever party leader In win
ming advantages in an evenly divided
House. but he was defeated for re-eIee-
ton in 1871 Five years later Mr. Hobart
again brought out Mr.. Griggs as his sue
cessOr in the State Senate, but he retired
to private life after two terms. and Mr.
Hobart's efforts to have his friend made
a United States Supreme Court justice
failed
Still confident that Mr.. Griggs had the
ability to serve with distinction in high
places, Mr.. Hobart bided the time for
third effort 70 put the self-eontained and
retiring lawyer into public life. The op-
pOrtunity came in 1894 Mr.. Hobart be-
leved that the Republicans could elect a
Governor No one shared his confidence.
The Democrats had held the State for
quarter Of a century.
Mr. Hobart sent his special secretary
through the State to whisper into the
ears Of the Republican editors that John
