1t is a remarkable fact, confirmed by
many observations, that many physi-
clans who have devoted considerable
labor to the study of particular dis
ease have themselves died of that dis
ease. One of the most interesting ex-
amp,es is that of John Daniel Major
born August 16, 1854, in Breslau, a
physician and naturalist Of no mean
ability. Bitten early by the wander
lust, he studied at Wittenburg, took
courses at many of the schools in Ger
many, and finally went to Italy where
he received the degree Of doctor Of
medicine at Padua in 1860. Returning
to his own country, he resided for {
short time in Silesia, and in 1861 mar
ried at Witten burg, Margaret Dorothy

such an annual fete, saying:

The chances are that you would have
rushed at the fellow with all your

savage instincts to rule you.
This proves that you have not as
much power as you should have over
your impulses.
You may boss other people, but you
are not boss of yourself.
Maybe you wonder why others are
forging ahead of you as leaders of

She replied that she began knitting at

around the leg of Il stocking before ii

The next question, of course, was
how long 1t would take her to knit
twice around. The judge here in his
usual quiet humor, suggested that that
would depend upon the size of the
stocking.
To this the witness remarked that
the stocking was for herself and they
