WORRY DOES KILLlt Slowly but Surely Destroys the Celia

of the Brain.Modern science- has brought to light

nothing more curiously lilla, tatingthan I hat WfOTtf will kill. More re¬

markable still, it bas been able to de¬termine Inst bow wurry does kill.

lt ls bflleved by many scientistswho have followed carefully thegrowth of the science of brain dis¬eases that scores of thc deaths set

down to their causes are due to arorryand that alone. The theory is a sim¬ple one, so simple that any one can

readily understand it.Briefly put, lt smonntS to this: Wor¬

ry injures beyond repair certain cellsof the brain, and. tbs brain being thenutritive center of the kodj", the otherorgans become gradually injured, andwhen some diseases of these organs or

a combination of them arises deathfinally ensues.

Thus wurry krils. Insidiously, Ukomanj other Alec¦rca it creeps uponthe brain In the form of a single, e<m

stnnt. never 1-st Idea, ami as a drop¬ping of water Over a perilh\ of year-1will wier a groove In the Stone, Kid"es worry gradualiy. Imperceptiblyand no less surely destroy the braincells that lead all the rest, Which are.

so to speak, the commanding officersof mental power, benito ami BtOtlOP.Worry, to make the theory still

stronger, is an Irritant at certainpoints, which pmdacea little harm iflt comes nt intervals or irregularly.Occasional worriment the brain ct\n

cope with, but the iteration and thereiteration of one idea nf a disquiet¬ing sort the cells of the brain are riotproof against.

LAWYERS IN GERMANY.rhey Cannot Advertise, and Their Feee

Are Fixed by Law.The German law fixes the exact fees

ivhich a German attorney has to claimfor all kinds of professional work, and;he rechtsanwalt can charge neithernore nor lossThose fees apply to all matters ofhe civil code mid of criminal cases.

|he amount, accorShlg to the Gr--.iiI'.ag. depends exclusively on the value>f the object of contention.

It is an old thougb Mill unfulfilledarish of German lawyers to have a

Dew fixed list of fe. r-. not made afterthe old and low standard of tie yoafl-j~9, but made with consideration to

the changes.tbe numerous d. ' i

counselor at law ail in one (in Knglandsolicitor and bsirtsti-r). The ratotana*walt can never be a business man. as

ls the case in the United States.The steel ise of the law la not to be

considered a (ailing of profession, but

ls to be looked on more as a publicoffice. According to the lawyers" codeof the 1st of July, 18TB, a lawyer is

iharged publicly with certain duties.Ile is obliged to have his residence

in the tows or district where he is ap¬pointed (so called residence duty).Further, he must conduct himself Inand out of osaca hs a way boiitting his

duty due to his rank. Thus a lawyerLs forbidden to advertise in newspa¬

pers, by raarsaalng, etc., or to buyor take over a practice already madeis being unworthy of his calling.His position iu society is between

officials and ra .. ilsrs, and through elis¬

ion) and law he is compelled to keep'he position r.( the last de-:oe. This

ompu'sion to keep one's rank has

mittees calh d aawslmkaasssera, whose

duty it Ls to keep a strict watch that

no lawyer dishonors his cal! ag. Thesocommittees have a strict rode of pun¬ishment, ranging to complete expul¬sion from oilice. In this way the law¬

yers in Germany have a good and hon¬

ored position. In fact, there is scarcelya couutry lu which the lawyer enjoysmore respect and confidence.
