Tire origin Of the expression ''t0 find
mfre's nest" has been traced 10 the
,iays d early saxons. What we call
nightmare was b. our foreiather5
supposed 10 be the Saxon demon Mara
or Marc, kind Of vampire, which caused
the incubus by sitting on the sieeper's
chest. The Mare vampires were said to
be the guardians Of hidden treasures,
ossr which they were supposed 70 brood
as hens do over their eggs, and the place
where they sat was termed their neidus
or nest. Hence, whcn anyone announced
that he had made an extraordinary dis
covery, someone accused him Of iindiug
= Mare's nest, or the place where the
vampire kept guard over her hypotheti-
raj treasures. 81. LoRis Republic.

DAVID MEEKER,
A Former Sacramentan Dies Suddenly
in San Francisco,

SAN FRANCISCO, May "a. - David
Meeker, pioneer of California, died at
his residence here to-day from apoplexy.
Mr.. Meeker came to California in 1850
On September 1st of that year he arrived
in Sacramento, and at once engaged in
mercantile pursuits.
In 1S57-5S he was Junior member of
the firm of Stanford Brothers 81 Meeker,
then engaged in general merchandising
business In Sacramento, and of which
Senator Leland Stanford was member.
In 1862 Mr.. Meeker removed to this city,
and entered the hardwood lumber trade,
and built up a large and extensive BUSH
ness.
During the war period, when the polit-
zeal sympathieS of many of the leaders OF
the State were with the Confederacy, Mr..
Meeker was stanch and outspoken
Union man. He took an active part in
public affairs at that time, and literally
supported with money and his influence
the Union cause. In 1872 he served IN
the State Assembly.
Deceased was at one time President of
the Society of Territorial Pioneers, and
he was a prominent Odd Fellow.
The funeral services will be held at
Calvary Church Tuesday afternoon.
The deceased leaves an aged and inva-
lid wife, daughter, Mrs. G. n. Oakley,
now visiting in British Columbia, and
two sons, Henry H., in business in Seat

Rebuke to Americans.

A man, just back from winter in Ger
many, said: "The only way of stopping
the dangerous practice of carrying canes
and umbrellas horizontally has long been
known to the people of Berlin. There a
man no sooner tucks his walking stick
under his arm than he feels quick blow
on it from behind. 1t either drops to the
pavement or assumes the only proper and
safe position in which stick can be car
ried. There is no use in his getting
angry with the person who struck the
blow, or in his trying to do him up, for
public opinion is with the regulator of
the barbarous and indefensible practice
of which / speak. / have seen dozens of
Americans treated to this discipline in
Inter den Linden, while they were en-
dangering the eyes and discommoding
the bodies of the crowds there. Most Of
them whirled about with fight bristling
all over them, but a glance or two at the
angry faces around them generally suf-
feed to calm them down."
