This of Congressman Watson:
When Representative Walter A
Watson. of Virginia. was attending tho
law school at the University of Vir-
ginia his chief instructor WAS John
d. Minor, a famous law professor Of
his day.
At the opening of the team. Minor
told his class that II any OF them
struck a snag in their work and came
to him he would try to assist them
in any way he could,
A few days after that, Watson
struck some pages in his textbook
that seemed 20 have their meaning
hid away beyond recall In maze OF
phraseology. He read the lesson over
and over again for about an hour and
half. and then 1t occurred to him
that this must be what the professor
referred to when he spoke of striking
a snag. Watson went to Minors priv
ate office and told him what was dis
turbing him.
How long have you studied over
these pages?" asked the professor.
ooh. all of an hour and half" re

the professor in a confidential tone.

failed to devote at least two or three
hours a day TO that book. Just to re-

A Deadly ineis, ntyH.

One Of the most deadly caliings and
one OF which very little Is known Is
that OF the workers IN champagne Gel

without any obvious elements Of risk
to health, consists in turning over the
bottles Of champagne 80 that the wine

so.utely free from sediment The men
who do this work spend eight or ten
hours a day in the dark wine cellars.
turning over bottles by the thousand.
This monosonous duty they discharge
day after day in seuidarkness, in a
high temperature, unhealthy atrnos-
phers and absolute solitude. These
CONT ined conditions affect the nerves
and health of the workers so seriously
that few OF them can continue at their
posts until middle age.--London Mir
