Jury Verdlcts.

At Fort Scott, Kan, jury in the
district court returned a verdict
finding a certain accused person
guilty of larceny. The verdict had
not been prepared in the technical
form desired, and the judge sent the
jury back to make the necessary
corrections. The jury was gone for
half an hour, and when it returned
it brought in a verdict acquitting
the prisoner.
But a verdict even more amusing
was perpetrated by jury at Pitts
burg. The case was a criminal one,
and after a few minutes consulta-
tion the jury filed into the box from
its room. "Iave you agreed upon a
verdict" asked the judge. eve
have" responded the foreman, pass
ing it over. "The clerk will read"
said the judge, and the clerk read,
"We, your jury, agree to disagree"

Reason For Rejoicing.

When Wesley and Nelson were
travelling through Cornwall, from
common to common, preaching to a
people who heard willingly, but sell
dom or never proffered them the
slightest acts of hospitality, they
were frequently hungry.
They were detained some time at
st. Ives because Of the illness of one
of their companions, and their lodg-
ing was little better than their fare.
"All that time," says Mr.. Nelson,
"Mr. Wesley and l lay ON the floor.
He had my greatcoat for his pillow,
and ! had Burkitt's Notes on the
New Testament for mine.
"After being here nearly three
weeks one morning about 3 o'clock

me awake, clapped me on the side,
saying: Brother Nelson, let us be OF

joice in. have one whole side yet,

The Thermometer.

Currie of Edinburgh employed a
thermometer in the treatment OF
typhoid fever patients with the cold
douche as early as 1897. He was
ridiculed by his German contempt
raries as an instance of medical de-
cay in English medicine. The first
clinical application Of the thermom-
eter was made by Santorius of Pa
Qua. He invented a thermometer
open at the end. After being held
by the patient it was plunged into
cold water Boerhave taught the
Importance of the thermometer.
De Haen-1704 to 1776-must be
given the honor of introducing the
thermometer into current use at the
bedside. 1t was not until 1850 to
1870 that it came into general use.

BRAIN AND STOMACH.
The Intimate Relations Between These
Two Vital Organs.

There is very intimate relation
between the brain and the stomach.
They must work tremendously to-
gether if the best results of both
are to be obtained. Brain exhaus-
ton and continuous depressing
emotions, such as worry and anxi-
ETY., almost always cause derange-
ments of digestion by retarding the
secretion of the fluids upon which
digestion depends. On the other
hand, food in insufficient or excess
i've quantities or the injudiciou5 Sc
lection of indigestible food is fire.
quently reflected upon the brain
and shows itself by sluggishness of
thought and diminution of mental
vigor. The brain and the stomach
cannot perform their functions to
the best advantage at the same time.
During the process Of digestion
the stomach requires more blood
than it does at other times, and q
certain proportion Of this extra sup
ply is drawn from the brain. If,
however, the brain is forced to work
during the period of active diges-
ton, the stomach will be depriy ed
of certain proportion of the blood
it requires. Activity of the mind
necessitates an increased flow of
blood to the brain, and as the power
of thought is to certain extent
controlled by the will, while the
process of digestion is not, it nat
urally follows that when thought
and digestion are carried on stimuli
taneously the brain will always take
the blood needed by the stomach.
If this is habitual occurrence, it
soon leads to pronounced dyspepsia,
and chronic dyspepsia in its turn,
by irritation of the nervous system,
incapacitates even an abnormally
vigorous brain from accomplishing
its best work.

of raising them by their own eternal

after the habit of sheep every one
made similar leap when it came to

trick with sheep that we thought
nothing of it until we noticed that
the sheep disappeared after leaping.
By quick work we stopped the per-

fine of $25, that an affidavit
should be made within eight days
