it's fact. Just across the Puyallup river
bridge on Main street Of Puyallup, on Mr..

measures five and half feet in circum-

Waxen variety. According to Mr.. Lacy's
statement, the tree has borne this year
about ninety boxes OF apples, most of them
being salable fruit. Mr.. Carson, the former
proprietor, stated, while living on the place
several years ago. that the tree has been a

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Important Points Settled by the High
est Tribunal.

In the United States Supreme Court yes-
terday Chief Justice Fuller delivered an adj
verse oecision i'm the case of George r. On
derhili, who had brought action in this
country for damages for detention in his
house and for assaults by Gen. Jose Her
nandez's soldiers during the Venezuelan re-
volt in 1892
Every sovereign state is bound" said
the chief justice, Ito respect the independ-
ence of every other sovereign state. and
the courts of one country will not sit In
judgment on the acts of another done with
in its territory. Redress of grievances by
reason of such acts must be obtained
through the means open to he awaited OF
by sovereign powers as between them
selves"
The court granted the motion Of the So
iicitor general in the case of the North
American Commercial Company to advance
tie case on the docket. setting the hearing
fof the first Monday in March. The case
involves the contract OF the company with
the government for compensation for fur
seals killed by il.
Justice Harlan handed down the opinion
of the court in the case of J. J. Douglas
iSt. the commonwealth Of Kentucky. hold
ing the franchise of the Frankfort lottery
to be invalid. The case was brought to the
court by Douglas on allegations of error i'm
the decision of the Kentucky court of APP
peals. which was adverse to him.
Attorney General Barber of South Caro-
lima filed a motion to have the dispensary
cases advanced on the docket.
An opinion was rendered in the case of
Richard S. Williams of San Francisco re-
versing the decision of the circuit court

state of Vermont involved the cOnStifu-
tionality of the statutes of Vermont pro-
viding for the punishment of offenses
against the state i'm the sale OF intoxicating

offense on an information. He appealed
from the rulings of the state courts on the
ground that his conviction was without due

Which Way Does the current UOs
From Electricity.
An extended discussion has been going
on in the German technical press as to
whether or not lightning rod during a
thunder storm is continuously acting to
euualize the Identification of the clouds
and that of the earth. Some assert that
the function of the lightning rod is to offer
a good conducting pathsto the earth for
a lightning flash, while others claim that
it offers a constant medium between
the air and earth. Among the facts
adduced by the adherents of the latter the
ory was an instance which occurred dur
ing the construction of a lightning rod
for a chimney 100 feet high, when the un-
completed work was interrupted by a
thunder shower. A temporary wire was,
therefore, run to a neighboring pond. so
as to ground the rod, when it was noticed
that considerable gas was formed on the
surface Of the submerged wire, indicating
that a current produced by the silent dis
charge of the clouds was passing and de-
composing the water by electrolyss. An
other experiment was quoted. in which a
plate lightning arreSter, with galvano-
meter in circuit, was connected in circuit
with lightning rod, when an almost con-
slant DETECTION of the galvanometer nee
die was observed, showing that a contin-
ued equalization of electric charges does
take place.

The Afternoon Nan,

The frequency with which medical
men are asked whether it is harmful to
indulge in the afternoon nap is not,
perhaps, surprising for several reasons.
Most persons have had experience in
the seductive charms of the somnolence
which has followed the comfortable in
gestion Of midday or evening meal.
The meal finished, the diner arranges
himself comfortably in an armchair; it
may be he lights pipe or cigar, takes up
a newspaper and prepares to make the
most of the restful conditions of his
mind and body But nature soon begins
to assert her sway. In time the eyelids
close, the head begins to nod, the news
paper falls from the hands, the pipe, no
longer supported in the mouth, falls to
the floor, and the symptoms of nap
are complete. Whether the winks be 40
or 100 in number, the result is the same
"a short, sound sleep.
Then comes the question, Is it harm
full thus to fall asleep after mealP By
no means, for the very obvious reason
that the process is merely physiolog-
ical one, and as such, when it occurs, is
quite natural. When digestion is in
progress, nature has arranged that all
the available blood in the body shall be
collected in and about the digestive or
gans. Consequently the blood supply to
the brain falls to low ebb, and thus
sleep is easily induced. On the other
hand, of course. physiologically, it is
wrong for brain work to be atte;-. 2ted
Immediately after solid meal. Med

Curious Marriage Ceremony.

Soon after the close of the war Cap
tain X. was appointed justice of the
peace i'll country place not far from
Raleigh. Beyond the management Of
real estate, drawing up deeds, etc., he
had no legal knowledge. Indeed his en-
tire stock of "book learning" was small
and poorly selected, but any lack in
general information was fully made up,
for his uses, by self assertion. Late one
afternoon, while riding home, he met
a young woman and two men. The
young woman and one of the men wish
ed to be married at once. They procured
the necessary license, but an irate IA
ther was on their path and vowed that
they should never be married. Now,
the captain had never witnessed mar
riage. He remembered having seen a
book about the house years before with
form for marriage in it, but where it
was he could not remember. "Why, +"
said he when he told the story after
ward, 81 knew the 'Postles' Greed an
Commandments, an at first l thought
I'd use 'em to begin on, but then I reck-
oned, on the whole, they was too SOL
emn.''
A less assured man would have been
sorely perplexed, but not he. He lost
no time in removing his hat and re-
marked, "Hats off in the presence of
the court" All being uncovered, he
said: 81 swear you in fust. Hold up
your right hands.
"Me, too?" asked the friend of the
groom.
"Of course" said the captain, call
witnesses must be sworn. You an each
