A weird spectacle in a Co urtroom.


The dramatic moment Of the trial
Of Jesse James at Kansas City, Mo-,
came when Mrs. Zerelda Samuels,
grandmother of Jesse James, took the
stand and was asked to take the oath.
She could not put up her right hand,
for that had been blown off years ago,
when detectives surrounded her house
and demanded the surrender of her
son, Jesse James, ST., and, on her
refusal, blew up the house with
dynamite. When she took the oath
the old woman she is seventy four
held up what remained of her right
arm. She made weird, almost unl
canny, picture in the courtroom, and
profound silence prevailed while the
oath was administered. st. Louis

QUEER THINGS ABOUT SLEEP.
Our Utter Inability to Resist 1t in Cases
of Extreme Fatigue.

OF EAtrtAho II aux
One of the most remarkable facts to
be found in the history of sleep con-
sists in the utter inability to resist its
onset in cases of extreme fatigue. Sew
eral remarkable instances are given in
which persons have continued to walk
pnwards while sleep has overcome
them, the automatic centres OF the
brain evidently controlling and stimu-
lating the muscles when consciousness
itself had been completely abrogated.
Ut is recorded that at the battle of the
Nile, amidst the roar of cannon and
the fall of wreckage, some of the over
fatigued boys serving the guns with
powder fell asleep the deck. DR..
Carpenter gives another instance OF
allied kind. In the course of the Bur-
mese war. the captain of a frigate
&C, lively engaged in combat fell asleep
from sheer exhaustion, and slept
soundly for two hours within a yard
of one of the biggest guns, which was
being actively worked during his
slumbers. 1t is matter of common
medical knowledge that extreme e1-
haustion in face of the severest pain
will induce sleep. Here the impera-
tive demand of the body-a demand
implanted, as we have seen, in the
constitution of our frames-asserts its
influence; and even pain, the ordin-
sry conqueror of repose, has in its
turn to succumb. One of the most
extraordinary cases in which the over
ruling power of sleep was ever exem-
plifed was that of Damiens, con-
demned for treason in Paris in 1857.
He was barbarously tortured, but re-
marked that the deprivation of sleep
had been the greatest torture of all.
1t was reported that he slept soundly
even in the short intervals which
elapsed between his periods of tor
ture. Among the Chinese form of
punishment for crimes consists in
keeping the prisoner continually
awake, or in arousing him incessantly
after short intervals of repose. After
the eighth day of such sleeplessness,
one criminal besought his captors to
put him to death by any means they
could choose or invent, SO great was
his pain and torment due to the alb
sence of natures soft nurse" Per-
sons engaged in mechanical labor,
such as attending machine in fac.
tory, have often fallen asleep despite
the plain record of pains and penal
ties attending such dereliction of duty,
to say nothing OF the sense of personal
danger which was plainly kept before
their eyes.-From 'The Ape OF
DEATH" by DIR. Andrew Wilson, T. r.
s. E., in Harper's Magazine.

The daisies that bloom on the lea,
Their sweetness 1 fancy outpour

The worship my feelings decree,

Paul Jonea,s Flag.

The flag which foated from Paul
Jones's ship, the Bon Homme Richard,
in the famous action with the British
frigate Scraps, in September, 1779,
after being in hiding for more than a
century, was recently presented to the
United States Navy Department by
Miss Harriet Stafford, descendant
of Midshipman Stafford, of the famous
ship. This was the first flag bearing
the Stars and Stripes ever hoisted or
an American warship, and the first
that was ever saluted by a naval
power.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

Unexpected physiological effects
have been noted by Professor Angelo
Mosso, of Turin, from living at an
altitude in the Alps of 14,S00 feet.
He was able to do more work
than at sea-level, and found no in
crease in the rate of breathing even
after severe muscular exertion. He
has been led to the conclusion that
mountain sickness is due to lack of
carbonic acid in the blood, rather
than to insuficiency of oxygen.

The strength of vision in savages
proves to be much less extraordinary
than was supposed, DR.. Beheim, on
visit to johannesburg, has tested the
sight of 1854 Kaffirs, Besutos, Hotten-

with normal vision equal to that in
Europeans, 257 with stronger sight
and 81 with a weaker. Phenomenal
vision was shown by Kaffir girl of
fourteen, who perceived objects at
sixty feet away as well as a normal
white could at twenty feet.

the earlier part of the evening various
parlor games and amusements were
INDUCED in, after which dainty re-
freshments were served; later good
music was the feature Of the evening.
This occasion was also the third an.
nua meeting Of the Dickinson county
colony which is this year composed OF
about twenty students. Miss Mae
Light was honored by being elected
governess Of the colony.
Prof Sterling is always interested
in the welfare Of the students from
his home county and, of course, they
are all very proud of him.

SOLDIERS WANT LETTERS.
How the Mail Ships Go to and From
Manila.

A number Of times letters written
to the REFLECTOR from the Dickinson
county soldier boys at Manila have
spoken Of the intense eagerness with
which the soldiers now so far from
home watch the mails when they come
in fer letters from home and the deep
Disappointment depicted on the faces
OF those who are not fortunate enough
to get mail when their companions
are better cared for. That the feel
ing of lonesomeness must be accentu-
ated by such failure can easily be
imagined.
Whe following table shows the de-
parture Of mails from San Francisco
and their arrival at Hongkong from
where they are speedily sent to Manila
and shows that there isno reason why
the soldiers should not get mail on
every steamer, il it is sent them from
home:
