How Sleep Is Caused.

Just how sleep is brought about is
one of the unsolved problems that have
been before science since the earliest
times, There are three general ex-
plantations Of sleep. They are called
the circulatory, the chemical and the
astrological theories. The first two
have subdivisions. The astrological
theory is now, pretty we'll accepted.
The nervous system is made up Of
thousands of nerve cells. These are
connected like a huge net by nerve ele-
ments, little branching fibers. Each
nerve element is structurally interde-
pendent, but functionally dependent.
Neurologists tell us that the fibers be-
come disconnected in sleep-that Is,
each nerve cell is separated from it's
neighbors by the elements. or connect
ing fibers, becoming disconnected. The
nerve cells build up themselves while
separated, as they have no messages
from the body to bear to the brain.
AS the sleeper regains consciousness
the nerve fibers unite and once more
begin their duties. = st. Louis Post.

The Democrats have decided to test
the thirty per cent provision of the
primary law. Although their state
candidates were nominated, some OF
their legislative and other candidates
failed, and they will make a general
test Of the validity of this provision
The sole question involved, it would
seem, is as to the power Of the legis
lature so to frame primary law that
partisans are kept within their own
party. If a thirty per cent provision
is unreasonable, then ten or five
per cent provision might also be un
reasonable. 1t strikes us that the ques
ton is not whether the thirty per cent
requirement is reasonable or not, but
whether the Legislature has power tc
legislate along this line. If it has the
power, then it has also the power to
determine what it thinks reasonable
and enact the provision into law. II
courts begin to decide what it is rea
sonable for the legislature to do, itbe
ing admitted that 1t has power to dc
the thing at all, then we shall after
awhile have all our Legislative func
lions vested in the courts.

He Was Not DISCHARGED.


This incident happened several years
ago: One Of the big national banks in
New York was clearing for certain
other bank that was In trouble, and
every day the president of the clearing
house bank would certify couple Of
million dollars worth of checks for the
other. Finally thepaying tellercalled his
attention to the fact that he was taking
mighty long chance, but the president
paid no attention to the hint. Then the
teller informed the clearing house Of
the situation, and the president was
called to book
"Dfd my paying teller tell you THAR"
demanded the president. 55 t.%1
"He did" replied the chairman of the
clearing house committee. I'M 4,

clared the president, bristling up with
indignation. t

tomorrow" calmly replied the chair
man.

Possible Population of the Earth.

By the best reckoning the earth's
population for some two centuries or

The states attorneys of the state
have resolved that there are too
many appeals from judgments in
criminal cases, and that such appeals
upon purely technical grounds should
be disregarded, except where there
has been substantial miscarriage of
justice through errors. We had al.
ways believed that appellate courts
took that stand, and modified or re
Tersed judgments in SO far as errors
of any kind had prejudiced the rights
of the defendant. We can hardly
subscribe to the belief that reversals
are made of criminal judgments pure
ly upon technical grounds, where no
substantial right Of the defendant has
been affected thereby. We think that
courts will always exercise a sound
judgment in passing upon appeals
and that it is better to leave matters
OF this nature to the judgment of the
courts than to hedge the mabout with
hard and fast rules as to when they
shall and when they shall not grant
new trials. States attorneys, from
the very nature of their business, are
not exactly unprejudiced judges of the
merits of appeals or of the decisions
upon them. .. .'r "A

All That Was eft.

A young married couple took q late
train for Washington, intending to
spend their honeymoon in rambling
through the corridors Of the capitol,
Congressional library and other public
buildings. The porter was awakening
passengers at an unusually early hour
that morning, and long. before the
train reached Baltimore he had them
up. The groom told his bride that he
would leave his coat and hat and re-
tire to the smoking compartment of
the train. He went out and met a
friend, who asked him back into an
other car in order that he might meet
a friend of his. Soon the conductor be-
gan making his rounds and taking up
tickets. The young bride referred him
to the smoking apartment, where, she
said, her husband would be found. A
moment later the conductor returned
and informed her politely that the
bridegroom was not to be found. The
other passengers were startled by a
loud Shrek. Il 5 M y.
"My husband! oh, my husbandr'
"Don't be alarmed, madam" said the
conductor reassuringly. Nothing has
happened to your husband. He is
probably in Baltimore. We dropped
two sleepers at that point" And that
was why friends Of the young couple
who went to the station in Washington
to meet them saw only the bride cling

it is on the side OF lenieney. So we trust
that NO one will do him the injustice
to infer that this unfortunate man, tax

part OF his jailer or bis assistants. Such
