ing of all the available jurors as
selected by the jury commissioners,
towit, to the number OF ninety, it is
made to affirmatively appear to the
court that the requisite number of
jurors who have paid their poll

known to the court that at the last
term of this court an effort was
made to secure a jury to try this
cause from the veniremen in the
county who had paid their poll tax
es, and said effort was unsuccessful
by reason of said qualification as
to payment of a poll tax, it is now
therefore considered and adjudged
that in this case the requirement of

vice as a juror be dispensed with,

be furnished with copy OF this or

That Tricky Brain.CeEL.

The anatomy of the nervous system,
and consequently it's physiology, was
regarded in the past as very simple.
Cayal showed that the specific brain
cell is an Independent unit provided
with multiple processes, not through
one nerve alone, but several This in
dependent brain unit or cell ig called
a neuron. A simple Illustration of
how the neuron acts is furnished by
our not infrequent hunt for a name
or idea which we know we possess.
We feel that the name lis there, but
we cannot recall it. We get various
names near it, beginning even with
the same letter or the same vowel
sound, yet only after minutes or even
hours does it actually occur to us.
What is supposed to happen is that
the particular cell of intellection
which we are using throws out it's pro-
cess among the cells of memory for
names, and though this process is
brought in connection with cells con.
tanning similar names, it is only after
a more or less prolonged search that
it hits on the right one. 1t is as if the
telephone operator in the central Of
fee felt around blindly for the con
nection wanted, and only after putting
the plung into various holes eventual
ly struck the proper one.

It Takes the Form Of a Chant to His
Horse,
Perhaps the most remarkable char
acteristic of the natives Of Somaliland
is their unbounded, preDosterous CON
ceit. Englishmen who know their
language have been appalled, by 1t.
When watering his camel or his horse
the SOmali encourages the animal to
drink by chanting TO IL in a monotone.
1t is at such moments of eXtemporary
yffusion that the man shines in all his
glory. The subject matter may be the
experiences of the days march. the
virtues of the animal beside him, the
charms of his latest wife, or his own
prowess in some bloOdless tribal raid.
BY great good fortune the following
literal translation of one of these
chants or songs came into my possess /
sion and I insert it without any COM
ment:
will you see a man? Then behold
me! / am a Somali, as perfect in size
and form as Adam was, after God had
breathed into him his immortal soul.
Look how beautiful my curly hair is,
and how majestic I look when wrapped
from head to foot in my snow white or

is to watch them feed. In my kerr

offspring. and woe to her if she for
