Twenty Per Cent Per Month.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
There being no law against usury in
this state and a contract for any rate of
interest being valid, l must give Judgment
for the plaintiff Judge Hebbard said when
deciding the case of W. c. Knox against
Edward 1saacs. The suit was to enforce
payment of note for $40, in which the
rate of interest was fixed at 20 per cent per
month. The note was given October TO-
1899, to James B. Brooks. The interest
amounted to 81 month, and Isaacks paid
1t for five months. The suit was brought
originally in the Justices court, and JUS
tice of the Peace Cook gave Judgment last
year against Knox on the ground that the
interest was unconscionable. An appeal
was taken to the superior court, Judge
Hebbard remarked that the interest seem
ed exorbitant, and Brooks explained that
when the loan was made Isaacs proposed
to repay the $40 at the end Of a month.
and was willing to pay 81 for its use for
that time. Interest for seventeen months
was due, and Judge Hebbard gave tudg-
ment for $40 principal and $34 interest. The
plaintiff asked also for $15 for counsel fee
but Judge Hebbard said that the award OF
counsel fees was left to the discretion of
the court, and he denied this request

LEFT AND RIGHT HANDEDNESs.
Explained by the Anatomical Reason
for the Same Quality in the Eyes.
From he london Ontfciau

1t is weii-known fact that the stronger
activity of the nerves OF the right half OF
| the body (for not only the hand is con-
cerned) must be ascribed to a preponder-
ance of the left side OF the brain, whose
finer development, especially the seat of
the center of speech. is a matter of COM
mon knowledge.
In a paper by DIR. Luddeckens I'm the ALL
gemeines Journal der Uhrmacherkunst
valuable information regarding the causes
of the unequal working of the two hemi-
spheres of the brain is furnished A sketch
touching on the history of evolution leads
from the original symmetry of the organ
ism to a subsequent asymmetrical ar
rangement of the heart and the large blood
vessels, from which 1t follows quite natu-
rally that the two halves of the head are
not placed on an equal footing as regards
the distribution of the blood, and conse-
quently of the blood pressure, and that. on
the contrary, there must be, under normal
conditions, a stronger pressure on the ar
teries of the left side of the head.
This theory is borne out by well-known
experiences of.anatomists and pathoogists
and a series of interesting observations. OF
especial interest is the effect of the higher
blood pressure upon the left eye. DR.. Lud-
DICKENS found In the latter, as compared
with the right one. in a surprisingly large
number of cases, a narrower pupil in con-
sequence of more filled-up condition of
the vessels of the iris, and upon closer ex-
eyebaN. This furnishes reason for the fact
that in a large number of persons the left
eye is the better one. Thus the finer de-
velopment of the left half of the brain is
explained very simply by the fact that 1t
is better supplied with blood, and the ques-
ton why II is the seat of the center OF
speech and why most people are right
handed is solved in the most natural man.

1t is striking how true a reflection of the
conditions described is afforded by the

cases a redder color was noticeable on the
right side of the face; the right eye was

a condition styled left handedness. In close
connection thereto is the habit of most
left-handed persons to sleep the left

the right half of their brain, which Is more
charged with blood during the day. For
right-handed persons the position on the
right side is the normal one for the same

Some Hotel Figures.
From Ainslee's,

Statistics are not very entertaining but
there are some stories Of the hotels that
they alone can tell. and that of the sup
plies is one of them. For instance during
the year 1900 one of these big hotels spent
for meats, 100000: for poultry, $4,000;
for vegetables. $4,000; for fruit, $42. 600;
for eggs. $4,000; for butter, $1,000, and
for the flowers used in decorations-and
there are flowers on the tables every day
$4,000 The initial investment in silver
ware was $250OOO, and with the losses
that, charftably, are credited to the SOU
venir craze. and the general wear and
tear on table service, about $4,000 a year
Is spent in keeping this supply up to the
hotels standard. One New York hotel
that suffered severely from the souvenir
spoon and salt cellar mania adopted sew
erai years ago the plan Of notifying guests
that each waiter was responsible indi-
Vidually for all articles on his table and
would have to make good any loss This
reduced the taking of spoons to a robbery
of the waiter instead of the hotel, and
even the souvenir hunter has some con-
science about such a theft. In the biggest
of New York hotels $50 900 year is spent
in replenishing the linen, and looms in Bel
fast are busy the year round for it. The
expenses of the other hotels for repairs
are proportionately as large. for In the
fierce business rivalry of the times none
of them can afford to get shabby
