AARON BURR'S TRIAL FOR TREASON.
The Most Impressive Court Scene Ever Wit
messed in This Country.

"No court IN this country had ever
presented a more impressive spectacle
than on the day when the third Vice
President of the United States was ar
raigned as a traitor" writes William
Perrine in the February Ladies Home
Journal. "On the bench sat the most
removed of all the long list of jurists
of the Supreme Court, John Marshall,
and the courtroom and the streets
about the famous Capitol (Richmond),
which still exists among the most ven
Grated of the historic buildings of Vir-
ginia, were crowded with the witnes-
ses, lawyers and public men from all
parts of the country. Burr was not
proved to be guilty under the indict
ment and the evidence submitted.

BALTIMORE, MD.

A newspaper is an educator; there
are all kinds of educators, but the man
who spends money iudiciously and
literally is better able to impart his
knowledge than the man who has lit
tie or nothing to spend.
The Sun is the highest type of a
newspaper.
The Suns Special Correspondents
throughout the United States, as well
as in Europe, South Africa. China, and
in fact, all over the world, make it an
up-to-date newspaper.
THE MARKET REPORTS and CONNER
cial features put the farmer, the mer-
chant and the broker in close touch
with the markets at Baltimore, Nor
folk, Charleston, New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia and other places which
are prominent centres.
From now on the news of the world
promises to be more interesting than
ever before and national and political
questions will arise, making probably
the most eventful period in the coun-
try's history.
This, together with the corps of ed
itors and reporters at Baltimore, Wash
ington aud New York, make THE sun
invaluable to its readers.

Alcohol and the B.nin.

A lecture delivered by DIR. Victor
HOrsley in England on The Action of
Alcohol on the Brain" showed how
fibers connect all parts of the brain so
that it acts as whole 1t was desired
to find out whether the brain as a
whole works as we'll with alcohol as
without. One way of testing this was
by testing the reaction time, the length
taken in perceiving a given signal. He
tried a complex experiment, showing a
signal with a number on it which was
not to be Signaled back unless it was
above ten. This took longer, involving
association of ideas, and the time from
the very first was prolonged by alcohol.
Professor Horsley said that chlOrO-
form, ether. nitrous oxide and similar
narcotics acted in the same way. Al
cOhOl produced dissolution of the
nerve centers.
Kraepelin had tried the action of al
cOhOl on muscular power by means Ol

CORN PONE AND 'POSSUM.
Famous Indian Dish Resurrected by DR..
Chaplain, of Trappe, Md.

DIR. James S. Chaplain, of Trappe,
Talbot county, has resurrected the
famous dish of corn pone and 'possum
which was the Eastern Shore Indians
delight and which tlckled, or rather
grated, his palate, for the pone is very
rough, just as the Eastern Shore dia-
mond-back' terrapin, put the epicure
into raptures. The corn was beaten
by the Indians in one of those old
stone mortars with stone pestle and
used without sitting. The salt was
made with Choptank River water
The Opossum furnished the lard, and
the bread was baked on a hot stove
DR.. Chaplain has follow ed the exact
methods of those old Indians. "The
bread procured was rather rough, .
says DIR. Chaplain, ''and do not think
the ladies' would care to have the rec
ipe in their cook books, as the bread
is not at all inviting, in appearance at
least.
