' DR. w. G. HC We print in. this connection an extract from the centennial edition of the University of Maryland a sketch of Dr. W. G. Houseal, of Newberry. * There are two other practicing physicians in this county who graduated from this University in the class 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 district, 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 I- publication, it seems to us, is a fitting celebration of the centennial of the founding of the University of , Maryland, and should be a valuable and interesting book for the graduates of this University. We regret that we do not find sketches in it of Drs. Kibler and Sease. HOUSEAL, WALTER GUST AVE, 1861? Medicine. Class of 1886. Walter Gustave Houseal, Newberry, South /Oarolina, matriculated at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1884, took his degree in 1880, settled for general practice at Newberry in the same year, and during twenty years of his professional career in that city and its vicinity attained a standing of enviable prominence in medical circles, and enjoys an tended acquaintance throughout the state. His private practice is large, hence successful and profitable, and in addition to its requirements he has yielded some ot. his time to service in various public capacities, namely: Chair. man of the city Board of Health, member of the Hoard of Tustees of the Newberry graded schools, director in the Exchange Bank, and lecturer on hygiene in Newberry college. He is a member of the American Medical Association, South Carolina Modical Association, Newberry County Medical Society, Lutheran church of the Redeemer, and of Newberry Hodge, 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 Medical Association, he read a paper on "Blood Serum Therapy and Antitoxins," in which he urged the general employment of antitoxin in the treatment of diphtheria and made predicl .oils concerning the use of sera in { therapeutics, which have since been . i.H'.t. 7 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 Maori maiden, beautiful and modest, who, though deeply loving her bridegroom, yet ; shudders at the barbarity of his peof pie, and at his delight in bloodshed and cruelty. Unable to bear the sights and sound around her, she' passes from His embrace mid see^s the shadows of another world. Only through great suffering and sacrifice does her young husband, unable to bear his solitary lot, redeem her from the shades. This beautiful legend is bcr> r1 with the orig*,) oil cends again to the skies, carrying with which the lover was compelled to endure that he might realize the nature of suffering.

I in which he has always lived. His nome is a seat of comfort and refined hospitality. Dr. Walter Gustave Houseal was born in Newberry, South Carolina, May 14, 1861, and comes of a South Carolina family of German origin.. Ilis ancestor on the paternal side was Captain William Frederick Houseal, who came to South Carolina from Heilbronn, W urtenburg", Germany, in 1752. Claptain Houseal raised and equipped a gallant troop of horsemen j and was a well known co-operative | raider with Marion and Sumter in! their ])artisan warfare for American independence. William Walter Houseal, father of Dr. Houseal, was an educated man ?.f high Christian char-1 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 liar re. Dr. Houseal's early education was acquired at the Newberry Male Academy, and his higher education at Newberry college, where he was graduated with the degree of A. B. in 1881; A. M., 1894. After finishing his i course at college in 1881, lie was with- j out any means to acquire a medical education. He taught school near Dyson, Kdgefield county, South Carolina (now a part of Greenwood conn- j ty), in 18S1-82. In 1882-83-84 he , was assistant postmaster at Newbcr- i ry, South Carolina. By perseverance, 1 diligence and economy he saved sufficient funds to pay for his medical education; he matriculated in 1884 at I the University of Maryland School of Medicine and graduated with the degree of M. 1). in 1880. He also took special work under Dr. Jones, resident physiciaon at Bay view Hospital, I Baltimore. In 1S93 he was a postgraduate student at Bellevue Hospital Medical College, now the medical department, ol New York University and in 1907 a post-graduate student at the New York Polyclinic Medical School and Hospital. Dr. Houseal was married Novcm- 1 ber 7, 1889, to Sarah Wright, daugh- ' tcr 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- ' tcr of the heavens condescends to ! dwell with man; hut, repelled by his rudeness and want of sympathy, as cend again to the ?kk;s, carrying wit , her her earth-born child. Her husband is only able to reach her and regain her love by "climbing upward, not by earthly tendrils, but by those which, descending from the heaven, have taken root in earth." One curious leant tire of the domestic lite of the New Zealand natives c is that the old women are led to belicve that the highest honor thev can ^ enjoy is In be permitted to do all (lie f cooking and prepare the food. A great > deal of labor is thus left Id them, which they cheerfully perform, resenting any interference on the part f of the younger Maori women, who ( thus have plenty o( leisure for enjoyment. ?
