never in the history of this

Owing to this advance, the

National Indian Monument.

The bill pending before congress pro-
viding for National Indian Monument to
be erected in New York harbor has been
reported favorably to the house of repre-
sentatives. The bill provides for the
erection of national monument upon a
site selected by the secretary of war and
the secretary of the navy, without any
expense to the government
This monument will be erected from
funds contributed largely by Rodman
Wanamaker and others, but every man,
woman and child throughout the nation
will be allowed to add their penny contri-
buttons. LaudabIe as was the idea of Mr.,
Wanamaker to donate the entire fund
himself, on accolalt of lis great interest
in and the study which he made of the
North American Indian, it is but right
that the children of the country should be
allowed to contribute to it, thereby in
culcating in than the idGa of patriotism

AccOuncement has just been made of
some of the details of the program pre-
pared for the convention of the Louisiana
Bar Association which is to be held at
Baton Rouge, May 20 and 21.
Following the plan adopted at the last
convention of the association, held in
Alexandria, a special topic for discussion
and debate will be made the feature of
the meeting. The symposium on this oc-
casion will be on bill to change the ap-
pellate procedure of the state.
The bill has been prepared with great
care by the committee of the association
on jurisprudence and law reform, and is
considered to be practical in all its details.
If the bill is approved by the association,
an effort will be made to have it adopted
by the Louisiana legislature.
By its provisions the present court of
appeal will be made intermediate courts
of appeal to which all cases will go from
the district courts. The courts of appeal
will find both the facts and the law, and
an appeal viii then lie on errors of law to
the supreme court. Under this system
the supreme court viii become a court of
error and, being disembarrassed from the
consideration of all questions of fact,
will be able to treat cases in the manner
now in vogue in the supreme court of the
United States.
In view of the Importance of this meas
ure, special effort will be made to have
the judges of all the Louisiana courts, as
we'll as the lawyers of the state, partici-
pate in the work of the convention.
In addition to the special debate an ad-
dress will be delivered by some lawyer of
national prominence on subject of his
own selection. Numerous important COM
mittee reports, special resolutions, amend
ments to the charter and the election of
officers will fill up the program.
The social side of the convention will
be given prominence and number of
entertainments will be provided for the
ladies' On the first night of the conven-
tion a cotillion will be danced and On the
second night, while the members of the
association are attending banquet, a
bridge whist party will be rendered the
visiting ladies. Automobile and boat
rides have also been arranged for the
ladies during both days of the convention.
Special low railroad rates viii be OBJ

to attend and it is now considered GER

Sleen and the Brain.

When the brain is at work marshal
ing ideas, producing mental pictures,
and calling into action stored-up mem
cries and impressions, the cells of its
mystericusly potent gray matter I'M
dergo a change of form. Cavities are
formed in them, which, as the brain
becomes wearied by Iong-continued ac.
ton, fill with watery fluid. Part OF
the substance of the cells appears to
have been consumed in the process OF
thinking, but in the hours of sleep the
exhausted cells regain their original
form, the supply of recuperative ma
teriai coming from the blood and on
awakening, the mind finds its instru
ment restored and prepared again for
action.
