BRAIN FAC.

London has new nalady-brain
fag. 1t is said to be common among
persons who may be aptly described
as business fends and to those who,
in the words of an old phrase, burn
the candle at both ends" The de-
velopment of this ailment is attended
by pains in the region Of the eyes,
general WEAKNESS and excited nerves.
Unless its course is arrested by quiet
and physical recuperation, it is liable
to result in dangerous collapse.
Of course the malady is not new in
the sense of being of recent origin.
1t began when people began to live
too strenuously or unnaturally. If a
man in Abraham's time had spent
every day of his life racking his gray
matter for scheme to make good"
financially, he would have had brain
fag. No doubt most of the upper
class Romans from the Emperor down
to the young bloods of the nobility
had brain fag. If the North Ameri-
can Indian had devoted the day to
s'tending to business" and half the
night to having a little diversion, he
would have had brain fag.
The brain is sensitive and exclu
sive structure. 1t can be debilitated
by idleness and dissipation and it can
be worn out by overwork. What it
requires is sane intermediary treat
ment. Possibly two-thirds of the
present generation, particularly that
part of it resident in the large cities,
are unknowingly suffering from brain
fag. 1t is never present alone.
When the brain is overtaxed the
whole body is depleted. Call it what
you will, it means the same thing
that it is time to give nature its dues.
Do not sell your birthright for a
mess of pottage.
"Do YOU ever have any trouble in
your culinary Department." asked
Mrs. Oldcastle.
"No," replied her hostess, II have
an old-fashioned herb medicine that

his nose at it, but it beats all the
doctors"
DocroR-"Your husband needs
rest, madam. He ought to go away
for few weeks.
Mrs. Gabbles-"B But I'm afraid he
won't do it, doctor" ]"
Doctor-"Well-er-then suppose
you go away for few weeks"

The llama Of the Andes,

What the camel is to the people of
the deserts Of Asia and Africa the
llama is TO those who dwell In the An
des, says w. r. Curtis in his book, 'Be-
tween the Andes and the Ocean," The
llama is faithful, much-enduring
beast, sure-footed and speedy, without
the services of which the Inhabitants
of some parts Of the country would be
utterly helpless, for mules and horses
cannot endure the great altitude and
the rarefied atmosphere.
It costs nothing to keep llamas; they
pick up theeir food by the wayside, al
though this seems almost incredible to
those who know the barrenness Of the
terrible deserts.
Although the llama is naturally do
cile and obedient, he has a furious
temper, and duels sometimes take place
in the herd which continue until one
of the combatants is killed, If both are
not.
When frightened, the llamas scatter
over the desert, but when cornered they
huddle in groups, with their tails to-
gether and their heads out to meet the
enemy. Their only weapon Of defense
Is their saliva, which, when they are
angry, they squirt through their teeth
in showers, as a Chinese laundrymar
sprinkles clothes.
A drop of this saliva falling in the
ear or eye or on any part Of the body
where the skin is broken will produce
painful irritation, and sometimes dan
gerous sores, like those that result from
the venom Of a serpent.

WINS CANAL CASE.
Panama Company Has Perfect Right to
Sell Its Property.

Paris, April 4.--The first civil trib-
unal Of the Seine today decided the case
of the Republic of Colombia against
the Panama Canal company in favor Of
the defendants. The decision holds
that the complaint Of Colombia is not
receivable, and condemns the plaintiffs
to pay the costs of the action. This
decision has the effect Of removing the
legal obstacles in the way Of the trans
fer Of the canal concession from the
company to the United States.
The decision is long document,
fully reviewing all circumstances Of
the commission and reviewing the ar
ticles Of the treaty, etc., principally ar
ticles 20, 81 and % Of the treaty Of
March 20, 1888, whereby the company
acquired its rights.
''These rights" the decision says,
"haye the manifest purpose Of assur-
ing the full exercise OF sovereignty over
he canal. 1t results from what is es.
tablished before this tribunal that CO.
lombia is not in possession OF the terri
tory traversed by the canal. BY conn
ing before the French court in order to
DhSaaa aiiaritfy- adfhfrs'Yfs thaDnry t5itsgn
control the canal. 1t therefore follows
naturally that it has lost sovereignty
over the territory traversed by the
canal. 1t also appears that this SOW
ereignty is maintained by the new re-
public of Panama, which is in actual
possession of the authority and power
and administration and its policing.
Under such circumstances it only re-
mains for the Panama company to ac-
cept the actual situation OF authority
and the facts relative to the territory
embraced by the concession. There
fore the action commenced by Colom-
bia is not receivable"
Although no formal notice OF appeal
was given, it was stated at the close Of
the court that Colombia and Bonaparte
Wyse, the original coneessionaire,
would appeal. 1t is said that an ap-
peal will not cause delay, since today 1
decision is held to confirm the COM
pany's full right to transfer to the
United States.

BRlBRs STOP TRIAL.
BOtkin Jurors approached to Clear the
Alleged Prisoner.

San Francisco, April 2.-Tbe second
trial Of Mrs. Cordelia Bctkin on the
charge Of having caused the death Of
Mrs. ]. P. Dunning by means Of pois-
oned candy virtually ended in a sensa-
tional manner late this afternoon.
Acting upon information that four
jurors had been bribed to favor the
prisoner, Judge Cook ordered the Jury
into the custody Of the sheriff until to-
morrow morning, when he will for
mally dismiss the jury and begin the
impaneliDg of a new one. It is al
legged that besides four jurors who are
said to have been influenced, an at
tempt was made to bKbe the fifth one.
When the denouement came In court
today, Mrs. Botkin's attorney made q
passionate speech, disciaiming that
Mrs. Botkin or any one connected with
her case was implicated. He also said
that he would not continue with the
present jury. The states attorney
concurred in a motion to discharge the
jury. A brief investigation was held
by Judge Cook after the jury left the
room.
Chief of Police Whitman testified
that one Of the jurors had followed him
TO his Office after the noon adjournment
yesterday and said that on the previ-
GUS evening strange man had called
upon him and said:
"We have secured four jurors for the
defense and want a fifth; we will give
you $780," The juror told the chief
that he turned down the offer, assert
ing:
81 am no such dirty man. / would
not take $50 or 100000"
Continuing, the chief of police said
that when the Juror left the court room
yesterday afternoon he was shadowed
by detective, who saw him secretly
meet a woman with whom he talked
for several minutes.
Judge Cook declared that the man
had violated his duty in talking with
anybody about the case.

Grass. Chatterton is a man. some 40
years of age, the girl is II, and the

peculiar romance.

some months ago and wanted to
swear out an information charging
Herman Felke with insanity. When
he was questioned it developed that
he wanted to bring the charge be

the girl that he (ChattertOn) was

1t seems that Chatterton wen out
on this deal, for Felke went into Il
rage and was going to shoot his an

of making Chatterton's hair point
