* DR. W. G. HI We 'print in. this .connection an. extra,t from th6 centennial edition of the University of Maryland a sketch of Dr. W. G. Houseal, of Nekberry. There ~are two other practicing phy sicians in this county who graduat ed from this University in the clasa of Dr. Houseal, Dr. J. M. Kibler, of Newberry, and Dr. Jno. M. Sease, of Little. Mountain. This book, also contains a sketch of Dr. Eli Geddings, who was a native of Newberry dis trict, and one of the first graduates of the Medical College of South Car olina. In 1831 he was elected to the chair of anatomy and physiology in the University of Maryland. This publication, it -6eems to us, is a fit ting celebration of the centennial of the founding of the University of Maryland, and should be a valuable and interesting book for the gradu ates 'of this University. We regret that we do not find sketches in it of DTs. Kibler and Sease. HOUSEAL, WALTER GUSTAVA, 1861 Medicine. Class of 1886. Walter -Gustave Houseal, Newber ry, South iOarolina, matriculated - at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1884, took 'his degree in 1886, setued for general practice at Newberry in the same year, and during twenty years of his profession al. career in that city and its vicinity attained a standing of enviable 'prom inence in medical circles, and enjoys an gxteiided ,aquaintance throughout the state. His private practice is large, hene suecessful-and' prolfitable, and in addi tion to its requirements he has yield ed some of his time to service in var ious public capacities, namely: Chair man of 'the city Board of Health, member of the Board of Tustees of the'.Newberry graded schools, direer tor in the Exchange Bank, and lectur er 'on hygiene in Newberry college. He is a member of the American Med ical Association, South Carolina Med ieal Association, Newberry County Medical Society, Lutheran church of the Redeemer, and of Newberry Lodge, Knights of Pythias. He is a regular attendant at the meetings of his state and county medical societies,. and as early as 1895, at the annual meeting of the South Carolina Medi cal Associatiori, he read a paper on Blood Serum Therapy and Antitox ins,'' in which he urged the general employment of antitoxin in the treat ment of diphtheria and made predie-, t:ons concernng the use of sera in therapeutics, whieh have since been MAORI TRADITIONS. Curious Features of the Life of the New Zealand Natives. Many traditions of the Maoris of New Zealand indicate true refinement of feeling. That of Niwareka, or Great Delight, is one of these, and represents *a gentle M.aori maiden, beautiful and modest, who, though deeply loving her bridegroom, yet shudders at the barbarity of his peo ple, and at his delight in bloodshed and crueltv. Unable to bear the sights and sound around her, she passes from his embrace and seeks the shadows of another world. Only through great suffering and sacri fiee does her young husband, unable Sto bear his solitary lot, redeem her from the shades. This beautiful le gend is bce,.i tWh the orie of eends again to the skies, carrying with which the lover was compelled to 'en dure that he mig'ht realize the na hure of suffering. )USEgAL,Y M. D. 0 I In all respects Dr. Houseal .has been a progressive and successful practitioner "f medicine, and by his high character, attainments and aehie ved iesults 'ai honored the diploma of his old alma mater, and he is held in high esteem both by his associates Idicine and the people in the city in which he has always lived. His aome is a seat of comfort and refin ed hospitality. Dr. Walter Gustave Houseal was born in Newberry, South Carolina, May 14, 1861, -and comes of a South Carolina family of German origin.. His ancestor on the paternal side was Captain William Frederick Houseal, who came to South Carolina from Heilbronn, Wurtenburg, Germany, in 1752. Claptain Houseal raised and equipped a gallant troop of horsemen and was a well known co-operative raider with Marion and Sumter in 1 their partisan warfare for American independence. William Wailter Hou seal, 'father of Dr. Houseal, was an educated man of high' Christian char acter. He was sheriff of Newberry county several years, and at the time of his. death was serving his third term as county auditor. He married Eliza Caroline Barre. Dr. Houseal 's. early education was acquired at-the Newberry Male Acad emy, and lyis higher education at Newberry college, where he was gra duated with the degree of A. B. in 1881; A. M., 1894. After finishing his course at college in 1881, he was with out: any means to aequire a medical education. He taught school near Dyson, Edgefild county, South Caro lina (now a part of Greenwood coun.. ty), in 1881-82. In 1882-83-84 he was assistant postmaster at Newber ry, South Carolina. By perseverance, diligence and economy he saved suf ficient funds to pay for his medical education; he matriculated in 1884 at the University of Marylan.d School of Medicine and graduated with the de gree of M. D. in 1886. He also took' special work under Dr. Jones, resi dent physiciaon at Bayview Hospital, Baltimore. In 1893 he was a post graduate student at Bellevue Hospi tal Medical College, now the medical department of New York University and in 1907 a post-graduate student at the New York Polyclinic Medical School and Hospital. Dr. Houseal was married Novem ber 7, 1889, to Sarah Wright, daugh ter of Captain Robert H. Wright and Mary F. Wright, of Newberry, and has four children: Sarah, Robert Wright, Walter Gustave, Jr., and Frances Houseal. Maori romance relates how a daugh ter of the heavens condescends to dwell with man; but, repelled by his rudeness and want of sympathy, as cend' a:rain to thbe .,kias, carrying wit, her her earth-born child. Her hus and is only able to reach her and regain her love by "climbing up ward, not by earthly tendrils, but by those which. descending from the heaven, have taken root in earth.'' One curious feauture of the domes tie life of the New Zealand natives is that the old women are led to be lieve that the hi<whest honor they can enjoy is t' be permitted to do all the cooking and prepare the food. A great deal of labor is thus left to them, which they cheerfully perform, re senting any interference on the part of the younger Maori women, who thus have plenty of leisure for en joyment.
