DAMAGE SUIT.
Charles Baer Sues the National Bank
of the Republic For $4,000.

CnarleS Saer sues the national Bank
Of the Republic For $4,000.
Charles Baer has entered suit against
the National Bank of the Republic, to
recover damages in the sum of $4,000
II is alleged in the complaint that on
Feb. 4, 1897, the plaintiff caused to be
deposited in the defendant bank $4,000.
in consideration of which deposit the
defendant agreed to honor plaintiffs
checks to about the amount of the de-
post. The plaintiff says he issued
certain checks, with the knowledge and
approval of the defendant, but when
they We're presented the defendant re-
fused to pay them, thereby so injuring
the plaintiffs credit that it broke him
uD in business, and his stock of shoes
and other property was sold at great
loss.
1t is then alleged that the bank ma
liciously caused writs of attachment to
be issued against this plaintiff, which
forced him to make an assignment, and
ruined his business, for all of which Mr.
Baer demands damages in the sum of
$50, 600.

A Luminous Tree.

One of the most remarkable of trees
or shrubs grows near some springs
about IL miles north of Tuscarora,
1t is six or seven feet high, with a
trunk which at it's base is three times
the size of an ordinary mars wrist
It has numberless branches and
twigs, and resembles somewhat tho
barberry It's truly wonderful char
acteristic is its luminosity, which is
80 great that on the darkest night it
can be plainly seen a mile away. A
person standing near could read the
finest print by it's light.
Its foliage is extremely rank, and
it's leaves resemble somewhat those
of the aromatic bay tree in shape,
size and color. The luminous prop
erty is due to gummy substances
which can be transferred to tho hand
by rubbing and with the tranfer the
phosphorescent light, while that on
the leaf disappears. The luminosity
is thought to be due to parasitic
form. The Indians. regard it with
superstition and will not como near
it even in daytime. They give it a
name which means witch tree. -

Blu rial Armor and ShrOuds.

The custom which still prevails Of

mated doubtless in the act of parlia
ment, 10 and 10 Charles II, which was
passed for the encouragement of the
woolen trade and required all bodies
to be buried In woolen shrouds. Two
amending statutes were passed-1G7S
and 16e0-requiring at the funeral an
affidavit to be delivered to the priest
stating that the requirements of tile
law had been carried out; otherwise
penalties were incurred. These acts
were repealed by 81 George III, al
though long before that time the
penalties for noncompliance with
the law had ceased to be enforced.
During the operation of the acts for
burying in woolen the law was come
times evaded by covering the coSlse
with hay or flowers, notification Of
which is sometimes met with in the
parish registers.
Burial in armor was not at all I'M
common in the middle ages, and was
considered a most honorable form Of
burial. Sir Walter Scott in "The Lay
of the Last Minstrel thus refers to it:
sseem'd all on FIRE that chapel proud,
Where Rosln's chiefs uncofin'd lie,
Each baron for a sable shroud
Sheathed in his iron pnnopy

What Sleep Is Scientifl cally.

The great German scientist, Herr
Rosenbaum, says that tho anemic
condition Of the brain is due to IN
excess of water in the cells Of that
body-a sort Of water on the brain
Sleep, according to his theory, is es-
pecially a matter Of nervous action
the fatigue of the nerve cells which
communicate with the heart and
bring about change in the circula-
ton. The nervous cells are full Of
water when sleep comes on, which
during sleep passes into the venous
blood as waste, while the nerve cells
receive nourishmcnt from fresh ar
terial blood When the process is en-
tirely, over tho sleeper owakes, unless
no Is disturbed sooner.
According TO Rosenbaum's theory,
sleep is not only healthy because Of
tho rest it gives the entire body, but
actually invigorating in itself. These
who have imagined that slumber was
simply quiet and rest for an over
worked and fatigued mind or body
will be surprised to learn that the
scientists are divided in opinion as to
whether it is pressure on the brain,
similar to vertigo and other attacks
which produce unconsciousness, or a
mild form of hydrocephalus. New

How to Get Warm.

1t may not be generally known
that when exposed to severe cold a
feeling of warmth is readily created
by repeatedly filling the lungs to
their utmost extent in the following
manner: Throw the shoulders we'll
back and hold head well up. In
fate the lungs slowly, tho air en-
te1ing entirely through the nose.
When the lungs are completely
filed, hold the breath for 10 seconds
or longer and then expel it quickly
through the mouth. After repeat
ing the exercise while one is chilly a
feeling Of warmth will be felt over
the entire body, even In the feet and
hands. It is worth while practioing
this exercise many times each day
and especially when in the open air.
