The BLOOD LINE.
Most Potent Factor In Telling the Corr
root story of peseent.

4 N0NN WV ~
"A drop of the blood of walrus
shows no relation with drop of
whales blood OF Of the blood Of any
other cetacean, such as seals or por-
poises, which, like the walrus, are
mammals that have taken to the
sea, says Dr.. William Hanna
Thompson in Everybody's. Instead
of that, the blood of the walrus i'm
mediately reacts with the blood of
horses, asses and zebras, thus prov
ing that he is an equine that no
longer crops grass, but goes where
he can live on an exclusively fish
diet. Likewise the hippopotamus is
shown to be modified fish.
Where the blood relationship ex-
lists, but is distant, these reactions
are proportionately faint, but where
no reactions occur there is no rela-
tionsbip at all. Thus geology indi-
Gates that birds are descended from
reptiles, and, oddly enough, the
blood of bird shows q distinct
though very faint reaction with the
blood of snake, but none whatever
with that of the winged bat or the
flying squirrel, for these are nam
mails.
On the other hand, the marsupi-
ais, once such a great family, but
now reduced to the kangaroo, the
opossum and small creature in
South America, have not a single
blood relation left. AS to man, he
has no relationship to monkeys, but
the blood of anthropoid apes shows
very faint reaction with his. Mean
time all the races of man are unmis-
takably of one blood, whatever their
color or abode.
Hence the blood is by far the
most hereditary thing about us.
Neither the shape of the skeleton
nor the contour of the body nor
brain, heart, lungs, stomach, intes-
tines, liver or skin nor even ances-
trail habits about the great food
question-how to eat or keep from
being eaten-are comparable to a
single drop Of blood for telling the
correct story Of descent. All this
gives new meaning to the words,
s'For the blood thereof is the life
thereof" Likewise the old saying
that insanity runs in the blood now
wears scientific look since blood
and family are SO inseparably asso-
ciated.

PROVING HIMSELF.

IT ia wise man who proves his
words before he speaks them. A
Itory of an old Pennsylvania settler
shows shrewdness in this direction
rs well as a pardonable pride in
proves. The hero of the anecdote
was Gabriel Schuler, pioneer who
was hale in his old age.
One day Schiller broke in upon a
company of farmers who were gath
cred in workshop. The old man
carried an ax on his shoulder.
'Iet some one turn the grind
stone for me-" he said.
For long time he sharpened the
instrument, with the greatest So
lemnity. Some present thought he
had lost his senses. Finally he shout
dered the ak and said:
"Let each one follow me-"
The farmers thought that this
luminous might mean that an at
tack was to be made on the Indians,
and they asked:
"Shall we take arms?"
do as you please" replied Schu-
Ter.
Each man seized his rifle and fol-
lowed the old settler. He led them
TO an open place in the woods.
"Now," said Schiller, stopping,
'1et each go into the woods and Sc
Iect fne, large tree. When you
hear my trumpet, return"
The men, wondering, did as they
we're bid. When the trumpet blow
they gathered once more about
Schiller. The sage, ledNby the farm
ers, examined each tree selected.
"Many OF them are very fine" he
pronounced, "but none equals this
oak"
So it was. Hc had picked out the
finest. He threw off his jacket and
began to cut. When he had hewcd
halfway through he changed his az
from his right hand to his left and
went on without changing position
or saying a word. In an hour he had
cut way through, and the tree fell.
Mounting the stump, Schiller ad-
dressed tho farmers:
"Today l am a hundred years
old, and would bear evidence OF
my strength. l would like to have
your promise that the tree shall
stay as 1t fell"
The old mans request was grant.

where land Is worth $50 or more per

A spider was the direct cause OF
most serious loss and injury to the
Dutch nation at the time of the at
tack upon Holland by France in the
year 1894. A French prisoner at
Utrecht, who had spent some of his
long, lonely hours in studying the
habits Of spiders on tho walls.of his
cell, was able by watching them to
forecast the coming of rain or of
frost. At time when a sudden
thaw raised the prospects of the
Dutch and seemed to destroy the
prisoner's~hope of rescue by his
countrymen his humble friends upon
the wall gave him sure signs of a
renewal of the frost. Upon this he
managed to send message to as
sure the French generals that with
in a few days their troops would be
able to pass over the frozen waters,
a prediction that was soon fulfilled,
and SO it came to pass that spider
was responsible for the release of
QuartermasterD isjonyal and for the
conquest of the Dutch.

DOCTORS DILIE:MjMRS.
ne Question of Revealing the Gm-
ployee's Condition.

The Question of Revealing the EN-
ployee's Condition.
Many dilemmas arise from: the
doctors duty of keeping his pa
tionts' secrets. There was recently
the much discussed case of a doctor
who discovered that signalman on
a railway was in such an unsound
condition that he might have been
tho cause of an accident. What
was the doctors duty2 Was it
right for him to keep the patients
secret, or should he have disclosed
the fact to the directors of the COM
pany +? 1t seemed quite clear that the
signalman could have brought an
action for damages against the doc
tor, but it is very doubtful if any
jury would have let the doctor suf-
fer in tho circumstances.
Lay, legal and medical opinion
differed greatly in the matter. OF
course it was the doctors duty to
use all his influence to get the man
voluntarily to permit him to report
the case. 1t was urged by some that
if doctors consistently disclosed the
condition in such cases it would
merely mean that they would not
be consulted. The ailment would
be concealed, and the doctor would
lose the chance of treating the case
properly and using the moral in
fuence to get the patient to disclose
his condition. The moral of the
whole case was that employees in
important positions should be fire.
quently examined by doctor repre-
senting the company.
The less serious problem arises
ought doctor to disclose the con-
dition of an employee to an en-
ployer where there is no public
danger involyed2 An employee, for
instance, may BIO i'll or incapacitated
through drink. Here the doctor
must be guided entirely by the pa
TENTS consent and should, even at
the risk Of offending the employer,
keep his patients secret. In Eng
land the law is indefinite on the
point, and the unfortunate medical
man may be held guilty of contempt
of court if he refuses to answer
questions in the witness box, or If
he does SO he may have an action
for damages brought against him by
the patient.
In 1896 the Royal College Of
Physicians took the opinion of emf
nent counsel-Sir Edward Clarke
and Mr.. Horace AYory-on the
question Of professional secrecy,
and their view was that doctor
should not reveal facts which had
come to his knowledge in the course
of his professional duties even where
there was suspicion Of criminal
offense having been committed.
Mr.. Justice Hawkins (afterward
Lord Brampton), however, held that
in very serious cases, involving the
screening of criminals, it was the
duty of medical men to speak out
