IDIosYNCRAsY

TDIOSYNCRASY. This is a long
Aword. What does it mean? 1t
stands for something which we know
exists but no one knows what it is.
A familiar proverb which goes back
to the old Greek writer's is that "One
mans meat is another mans poison"
This is a terse way of saying that d
food which will agree with and nour-
ish one person will produce injurious
effects on another. The food is just
the same in both instances, so the
difference must be in the individuals.
What is. the difference? No one
knows. Yet strawberries, which most
people enjoy, will cause nausea and
vomiting and severe rash in some
cases. l recall a patient who could
not eat lobster. Her friends knew 1t
and never offered it to her Taking
lunch at hotel with friends, salad
was ordered which contained small
amount of lobster meat, although this
was not known to any of the party.
Inside of ten minutes after eating the
salad, this lady was taken violently
ill. By the time she could be taken
to room and undressed, her body
was covered from head to foot with
vivid scarlet irruption. The other
members of the party, who ate ex-
actly the same salad, showed no
symptoms at ALL
Certain drugs produce unusual eff
fects on some people. Others are I'M
pleasantly affected by the odors OF
certain flowers or the presence of GER
tain animals.
At recent meeting of German
scientists, Professor Dorr of Basel dis
cussed this subject, which has be-
come one of practical Importance on
account of the different way in which
individuals are affected by animal
serums.
1t has been found that the various
individual forms of sensitiveness
possess the same peculiarities. A
person who is unusually sensitive to
one material is sensitive to that ma
terial alone; that is, person who
cannot eat lobster can eat oysters
and fish with immunity. A person
who is sensitive to Strawberries can
eat apples, grapes, plums or pears
without any discomfort Another pc
culiarity is that the symptoms caused
in a sensitive person have nothing
whatever to do with the effects that
the same substance produces in nor
NAL individuals. The third peculiar
ity is that symptoms produced by any
of these objects in any individual who
is sensitive to them are all alike.
This is also true of animal serums
Probably hay fever is the best-known
example of such Sensitiveness.
Nc one knows why certain persons
are sensitive to certain objects.
Net knowing the cause, however,
has rot prevented scientific men from
giving these peculiar conditions
name nearly as long as the old one.
Cases of idiosyncrasy are now said
to be caused by anaphylaxis. This
does not increase our knowledge, but
it gives us one long word to take the
place of another.

tried to get Job in America and let
tiers were exchanged between the two.
The baron has no copy Of his great
grandfather's letter but he does have
the original of the answer our Presi-
dent sent refusing James military
post in the new republic Georges
reason for the refusal and plain deal
ing as stated in the letter was that
.it was not in accord with the policy
Of the American government to bestow
offices of any kind on foreigners to
the exclusion of her own citizens"
However, he admitted his blood re-
lationship to James.
Later we learn that James Washing
ton also made name and position in
life for himself, and his son Jacob an
even greater one. Jacob sold his serv-
Ices to the Bavarian government under
King Ludwig /, and finally became mar
shat of the court. He became baron
and lord of the estate at Nothing, Up
per Bavaria. Jacobs only son, Maxi
milan, the present baron's father, car
ried the family career still further by
marrying a royal duchess cousin to
Queen Mary Of England Now the
baron is the last of his line, his brother
having died Pathfinder Magazine.

Washington

Through seven slow years of unad-
vancing war
Equal when fields were lost or fields
With breath of popular applause or
Nor famed nor damped, unquenchably
the same,
Too inward to be reached by flaws Of
idle fame.
Soldier and statesman, rarest unison;
High poised example of great duties
done,
Simply as breathing, worlds honors
AS life's Indifferent gifts to all men
born;
Dumb for himself, unless it were to
God,
But for his barefoot soldiers eloquent,
Tramping the snow to coral where
they trod.
Held by his awe in hol1ow-eyed con-
tent;
Modest, yet firm as Natures self; I'M
blamed
Save by the men his nobler temper
shamed;
Not honored then or now because he
wooed
The popular voice, but that he still
withstood;
Broad minded, higher-souled, there Is
but one
Who was all this, and ours, and all
mems

EYESICHT VARIES WITH
ACE

KTHEN are your eyes the best? At
w what age does the average per-
son see dearest? The United States
public health service has endeavored
to answer this question by a careful
examination of the eyes of ten thou
sand persons Half of them were
school boys from six to sixteen and
half of them were working men from
eighteen up. The boys were public
school pupils in South Carolina, Mary
land, Delaware and New York and
the wOrkmen were employees in post
offices, in glass, pottery, foundry,
steel, chemical, cigar, gas and cement
industries in various parts of the
United States.
This number is large enough to in
clude every variety of sight defect.
What were the results of this large
number of examinations?
The public health experts found
that the percentage Chat is, the num-
Der out of every one hundred persons
examined) of persons with normal
vision increased with age from six
years up to eighteen. years, after
which it declined and that the rate of
decline was much more rapid after
forty-five than before.
This would Indicate that in chill
dren with good eyesight school work
was not as hard strain on the eyes
as different forms of work taken up
after leaving school.
The Investigation also showed that
if the eyes were markedly defective,
school work still further weakened
them and that the percentage of per-
sons with markedly defective vision
increased steadily after six years of
age. The rate of increase was more
rapid during school age than in the
early years of Industrial work
The percentage of persons with
moderately defective vision decreased
during the school ages, then increased
from twenty to fifty and then declined
again.
The general conGusion from these
facts would seem TO be that if one
has good eyes. school work improves
the vision but that. in persons with
poor eyesight. school work Is harder
than industrial work. probably be-
cause persons having very poor eyes
naturally select work which does not
REQUIRE acute vision. In any case the
eyesight . best at about eighteen

Blood Relative of
First President
George Baron Won Washing
ton Is Distinguished
Austrian Citizen.

The most distinguished kinsman and
namesake of George Washington, our
FIRST President, lives in Europe. He is
George Baron Won Washington, of
Poels, who was a captain of Austrian
cavalry and fought against America in
she World war The Baron is sixty
seven years old and lives alone, with
his seven dogs. in an enormous shabby
castle in Styria, southern Austria.
Nine hundred years ago, the baron
says there was a Tortin, lord of Ravens
worth, England, from whom the Wash
ingtons descended. From Torfin to
Robert Washington, lord of Mile
bourne, in 400, the family trees of
George and the baron were the same.
Robert Washington married the daugh-
FER of Lord Kerneford and had several
sons. One was Robert, Jr., whose sons
sons emigrated to America. One of
these great-grandsons of Robert was
the eat-grandfather of George Wash
lngton who became first President of
the United States.
John, another son Of Robert Wash
ington, and his descendants lived in
England until the end of the Eight
eenth century when they emigrated,
but not to America. James Washing
ton, descendant of John, went to The
Hague and sold his services where he
could as an officer. In 1870 he learned
that Washington had become Presi-
dent of the American republic, and
after investigating found that George
was his true blood cousin. James then

some of the other churches in which

church, and it is known that he had a
great and peculiar affection for 1t. 1t
