PLAINTIFF WAS NoNsUITED
A Law Point that Note-Holders
Should Not Forget-A Local
Court

Does a credit Endorsement on
note always renew the note against
the statute of Limitation. was an in
teresting law point brought to no.
tice in the trial of cause in a local
Icourt Saturday. The question con-
Germs almost every man who owns
or owes a promissory note. The
law in the case was a surprise to
many.
The case was q Ell Davis versus
.Eldrldge Hairless and wife, an act
ion to recover money on promis-
sorry note, amounting to over $500.
The matter was tried in the county
court. The note was executed in
1894. In 1894 Davis and Hairless
had a transaction in which Davis
held a chattel mortgage on Hart
less crop Of hops. The hops, under
the terms of the mortgage, were to
be sold, and the excess of proceeds
was to be applied on the note. In
January 1895 there was credited on
the note portion of this excess
from sale of hops under mortgage.
Davis supposed this credit would
renew the note, so far as outlaWry
was concerned, and make it good
for another six years.
Recently, just before the six
years after such credit was up.
Davis brought suit to recover judg-
tment. The case was tried Satur-
day. After the testimony for
plaintiff was in, the defendant
pleaded that the credit on the note
from the proceeds of the sale under
chattel mortgage Of the hops, was
not voluntary" payment, and
that unless the payment was ..vol-
untary'' on the part of Hairless,
the credit did not renew the note.
Many decisions were cited. two of
them from the Oregon supreme
court. There seems to be no doubt
as to the law in the case. The
court allowed defendants motion
of a nonsuit, the case not even
going to the jury. The final out
come is worthy of the notice of
those who have occasion to deal
with notes.

Reading aloud is recommended by
phvsicians as a benefit to persons
affected with any chest complaint. The
recommendation is made because in all
cases of lung trouble it is important
for the sufferer to indulge in exercise
by which the chest is in part filled up
and emptied of air. for the exercise is
STRENGTHENING to the throat, lungs and
muscles of the chest.
Reading aloud can be practised by
all, and besides being a curative act,
can be a pleasure and profit to both
reader and hearers. In this treatment
it is recommended that an overdose OF
medicine be avoided, that the reading
be deliberate. without being allowed to
drag, that the enunciation be clear, the
body held in an easy, unstrained up
right position, so that the chest will
have free play. and that the breathing
be natural, and as deep as possible.

Mr.. Buchanan, who was the first
bachelor elected to the presidency, was
G5 years of age when elected. and had
deliberately given himself to life OF
ce!ibacy. In the days when he was a
young lawyer of Lancaster, Penn.
he had loved Miss Coleman, a beauti-
full daughter of citizen Of that town.
They had been engaged to be married,
when one day he was surprised to re-
ceiye from her a request to release her
from her promise. According to Mr..
George Ticknor Curtis, the separation
originated in a misunderstanding on
the part of the lady, who was unusual
ly sensitive. over some small matter
exaggerated by giddy and indiscreet
tongues. Soon after the estrange-
ment she was sent to Philadelphia.
and there died suddenly. Throughout
the rest of his life, or for nearly half a
century, Mr. Buchanan is not known
to have revealed to anybody the cir
cumstances of this romantic tragedy.
He would only say that it had changed
his hopes and plans, and had led him
more deeply than ever into politics as
a distraction from his grief. In his
old age. long after he had retired per-
manently to private life, he called at
tention to a package containing, he
said, the papers and relics which
would explain the causes of his youth
full sorrow, and which he preserved
evidently with the idea OF revealing
them before mis- death. But when he
died, and his will was read, it was
found that he had directed that the
package should be burned without
being opened, and his injunction was
oheyed.=Ladies' Home Journal.

VISITORS TO THE FORBIDDEN CITY.

People Flock to Sec the Sights in Pekin
Long Denied to Ordinary Morta!s.
A correspondent Of the North China
Daily News, writing from Pekin on
April Is, tells of the curiosity of the
people to visit the Forbidden city and
the proper way to go about it. He
says:
"yov have to get an order from the
United States legation for the For
bidden city and from the British le-
gatiOa for the Summer palace. The
former is on view on Tuesdays and
Fridays from 10 to 2, the latter on
Thursdays and Sundays from II to 4;
the altar of Heaven can be visited at
the same times. For the dowager
empress's winter palace in the Impe-
rial not the Forbidden city, you have
to get permission or an escort from
the German legation, as also for the
island where the emperor was i'm
prlsoned.
"People flock to see the Mongol
Luna temple, because it used to be
impossible, otherwise 1t is a question
if they would. The Hall of Classics
ana Confucian temple just across
the road might be visited at the same
time. And those going to the Sum
mer palace might as well diverge a
little to the right on the way out and
see the great bell.
"At the Summer palace the special
sights seem to be the great bronze
OK on the far side Of the lake together
with the camel-back bridge and the
1s-arch marble bridge connecting the
island with the mainland. There is
a bronze pavilion as you climb the
hill, and as you come back there is
the marble boat on the water to the
left. The Thousand Buddha temple
on the top certainly calls for visit
if only to see the reckless devastation
within. 1t must have been beautiful.
THE ruined pagodas on the other
side where everything was broken
down in 1860, are very striking, and
there are five marble bridges across
the canal at the base. but the enor-
nous cloisonne screen and the beauti-
full painted screen in the English Of
ficers' dressing room arc perhaps yet
more interesting, while the specimens
of the dowager empress's hand-writ-
ing give very high idea of her gift
as an artist"

hands, like sheets-ropes that trim

WHEN THE EYE DOES NOT SEE.
A New Law OF Vision Discovered - Its
Application.

a New Law VISION DIscONeTeu us
Application.
Two series of Investigations of far
reaching Importance to physiological
optics have been completed during the
past year in the psychological labo1a-
tory Of Wesleyan university at Middle
town. Conn, by Prof. Raymond Dodge
and students of the university. The
first series definitely established new
law Of vision, almost revolutionary IN
its consequences. 1t was proven that
the eyes, when in motion. can distln-
Suish nothing in any complex field
OF vision over which they sweep. In
order to see any object at rest, the eye
must remain motionless, looking at
some definite part of it for an appre-
ciable length of time. II the eyes
move, they see nothing for about one
twentieth Of second. This explains
the success Of those sleight-of-hand
tricks id which rapid movements OF
the fingers are absolutely unseen.
while the eyes follow the larger move
ments Of the hand. 1t also explains
the necessity of looking at relatively
fixed point in boxing fencing, etc.
While the new law will necesitate
reinvestisation Of many psychology
cal problems, it has an especially OBJ
yious bearing on the psychology OF
reading. Four years ago. in collabora-
tion with Prof. Benno Erdmann, then
Of hn vvi Of Toll
Prof. Dodge demonstrated that, con-
trary to the general impression, the
eyes do not move regularly over
page as we read, but make series VI
distinct pauses as they sweep along
each line of print. At that time evl-
dence was found which seemed to show
that the eyes actually saw the words
only during these pauses. That evil
dence has recently been called in Ques-
ton by eminent authorities. The new
experiments finally settle the question
beyond all doubt, and justify the psy-
cologically, as we'll as pedagogically.
important conclusion that in reading
the true unit of stimulation is not the
AIuiN Iiudl ieltcl, buC d AloAO "a ASS"
extended group of letters.
People Of middle age remember that
before they learned to read they had
to first learn their letters" then they
were taught to put the letters to-
gether to make words, and finally they
learned to read. Nowadays. children
learn to read words before they learn
the individual letters. According to
DR.. Dodge's experiments, this last
method has a good psychological basis.
The second series was quantitative
study of the eye movements, with par
ticular reference to the rapidity OF
reading. This series involved the i'm
vention of an unique method of meas
uring the movements of the eye and
the designing of a considerable amount
of new apparatus, by the aid of which
the first accurate measurements OF
the eve movement were affected. These
measurements not only show the
length, number and velocity OF the
movements of the eye during reading,
but they also furnish the first exact
data for a study Of the coordination
of the eyes and the muscular fatigue
of reading-New York Post.

story Is told Of a peon who endeavor-

the montero he discovered that he
was charged with SIS He at once
took the book to his master and re-
quired an explanation. The mOntero
pretended to fly into a rage at tho
stupidity Of the peon. and after swear
ing at him roundly, exclaimed:

BIG COAL DEAL.-The New York
Mail and Express on Saturday says:
at was learned today that an under.
writing syndicate of possibly 500, 0OO,-
coo had been formed to finance the
consolidation of the bituminous coal
pr operties along the Norfolk and West
eru, Chesapeake and Ohio and possibly
also the Hooking Valley. Baltimore
aud Ohio aud other railroads 10 West
Virginia, western Pennsylvania and
Ohio. The syndicate will include
prominent banking interests of this
city, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and,
perhaps, Pittsburg and other western
cities. Judge +. II. GRAY, chairman oil
the United States Steel Corporation, il
understood to be one of the leading
spirits In the deal and this is interpre
ted by some as meaning that the stee
trust will control the output. This
however, is not true. Judge Gary, it IL
believed by some, may represent J. T,
Morgan & Company, but this is not YET
certain. The design is to run the soft
coal business in harmony with the
anthracite trade, which Mr.. Morgan, in
q measure, controls.
