ARE Popular Ignorance ' a to Law In Everyday Occnrreneea Caahlera I Mtatakea la Banks Taa FlnaJas; ol I Dead Bodlea Saadar Contracts. ; It In an American predilection to be lieve the outre and freakish stories that are based solely on hearsay testimony and to reject often the commonplace matter of fact. A list of the cheerful lies that are commonly believed would fill a volume. Only a few of them are jlven below. How often have you been Inflicted with the story of the man who was overpaid when caching a check at the bank and the cashier telling him that no mistakes would be corrected after the customer left the window? Ac cording to the story, the cashier laid;. down the mandate before the cashier knew the mistake was In bis favor. -It makes an excellent yarn, but diligent search discloses that It never had any foundation In fact. Banks have no ucb rule. If a customer Is underpaid or overpaid the mistake will appear when the balance Is struck at the end of the day's business, and the error will be cheerfully rectified. But the majority of thfe public believe the flctl tlous story of "how the fellow got the best of the bank" simply because It Is a good story and they like to believe It Probably the most common error on the part of (he public Is the belief that when a dead body is found no one has a right to touch or more the remains "until the coroner comes." There never was any Buch law, Is not now and ' probably neverwill be. The citizen who Is of an Inquiring turn of mind has a perfect right to examine the dead bodies be runs across In the course of his travels, to move the remains and even search' the pockets of the de- teoot-u, jiiuvmuu, 01 course, mai ins motives are honest.' That Is all that Is necessary. There Is also a prevalent belief that a note signed or contract entered Into on Sunday Is void and that either party can plead the fact of the sacred day to get out of a bud bargain. This Is not true. If a man enters Into a contract or signs a note on Sunday he Is legally bound and can have no defense that be would not have If the transaction had occurred In the middle of the week. "I had my back against my own house when I struck this man," says 'the" defendant In police court. lie be lieves that his proximity to bis castle gives hi in more rights than he would have If he Were in the street. This be lief has been the cause of niucb can tankerous litigation, and It has ever resulted In the ruling that a man has a right to defend himself In a reason able manner If he' Is attacked, what ever may be his geographical position, and the Incidental contiguity of his home "cuts no Ice" In the case. The public has great confidence In the mngle number three, and without any reasonable basis for the belief. It Is commonly believed that If a drown ing person sinks ,for the third time be to gone for good and all. .The facts contradict this. Many persons die In the first sinking, and if one has the strength and vitality to rise to the sur face of the water twice It furnishes an excellent presumption, that he will be able to do so : again. In ah eddy or rapidly moving waters people have sunk from sight a half dozen times and lived to tell the experience to their grandchildren. ' Then there Is the third congestive chill, commonly believed to be fatal. Most people who die from this cause succumb to the first or second attack. If a man succeeds In weathering two of them the odds are In favor of bis coming out victor in the third. Almost every community possesses a citizen who boasts the fact that he has a sil ver plate in his skull. Surgeons say that very few attempts were ever made at such an operation, and all of them were failures. There does not exist a man who 'has a silver plate In his skull, although many men honestly be , Jteve,tha they are carrying this epecles of' paraphernalia In their craniums. The bohe-of the skull cannot live and be healthy ln,the presence of a foreign body, . It Is said by surgeons to be a physical Impossibility, but this serves In no way to overcome the common and erroneous belief. The medical fraternity has another false belief to combat In cases of 'Jshln gles.'V TJ?Is. disease consists of a skin eruption, '.always following affected nerves and ' commonly appearing on ihe body. It Is a very common belief that If the "shingles" completely sur round the body and strike a meeting point the patient wilt die Instantly. The belief la untrue.

Fredenburg, ,1 -Notary Public AN INDIAN LEGEND. rae War Na-ab-beja Hade the Raw Earth After the Flood. "1 will tell you the story of Nan-ab-beju. He Is the man who made the new earth after the big water came aud covered It. "Big waters came, and there was nothing anywhere except water and the sky aud the sun and the stars," said the old Chippewa. "Nun-ab-beju made a great raft and put on it some relic of everything that had been on the earth specimens of each kind of animals, of all the tres, shrubs, plants, flowers, birds, rocks, and one man and one woman. In short, he did not leave anything except sand. He forgot to save some sund, and yet he could not do anything without It. He sailed out far Into the flood and made a little Island, very, very small. Then he found he had no sand. He made a very big line, longer than hundreds of deer skins cut up into ribbons and tied to gether, and he took a muskrat off the raft and tied the line to It and threw It Into the water. The frighteued rat dove down and down, and when there was no longer any pulling at the line Nan-ab-beju knew the rat was at the bottom of the sea. Then he began to pull the line up. At the end of It came the poor muskrat, stone dead.drowned. But Nan-ab-beju saw that the little black paws of the animal were clench ed as t there was something In their palms and that the rat held tight hold of even after death. The little paws were forced open, and In them were found half a dozen grains of sand. One grain would have been enough for the great Nun-ab-beju. "Nan-ab-beju blew his breuth on the muskrat, and Its life came back to It. Then be mixed the sand In the little island that be bad made and blew on that also. As he blew and blew It .swelled aud swelled until It was so big :thnt Xau-ab-beju could not see the Bides or end of It In any direction. Nan-ab-beju was not quite certain whether be had made it as big as the old earth before the big water came, lie bad to muke It as big as It had been so big, In fact, that no man or creature could find the end of It He had plenty of animals that could travel over the earth and find out how big It was, so he decided to take two huge buffaloes off the raft and send them to see whether there was any end to what he had made. The buffaloes ran off with all speed, and Nun-ab-beju sat down and waited. In a few days the buffaloes came back and said they had found the end of the earth. So Nan-ab- beju blew and blew and blew on the ground again, and It swelled so fust that you could see It broadening. When he hud blown until he was tired he took a crow off the raft and sent it to see If It could find the end of the earth. The crow was gone a very long time, but at last It came sailing back on the wind and said it had flown till it was tired out and there was no sign of any end to the earth. 'Nan-ab-beju, to make sure, blew again and swelled the earth a great deal bigger. Then he untied and un caged and untrapped all the animals and drove them from the raft on to the land and left them free to roam where they might He took all the trees. plants, bushes and shrubs and planted them around, and he blew the grass out of his hands as hard as be could blow It, so that It scattered all over. Next he let loose all the birds and bee tles and bugs and snukes and toads and butterflies, and finally he Invited the man and woman, both Chlppeways, to go ashore and make the new earth their hunting ground. And Nan-ab- beju's task was done."-St. Nicholas. Titles la Germany. The question of title Is one of the most delicate In Germany, a fact of which the stranger Is constantly re minded In Intercourse with the people, particularly with the women. Frau Professor, Frau Director, Frau Doctor, are most particular about their hus band's titles being attached to their own names. But when it comes to mil itary circles it Is different, and both men and women protest vigorously against this sharing of titles. Lieuten ant von B. objects to having his wife addressed as Frau Lieutenant which title belongs as well to the wife of Lieutenant Schmidt or Haff of a less aristocratic regiment Dnmaa' Scheme. Alexandre Dumas Sr., was once vis iting his .son, who at that time lived In a villa near Paris. They sat in a tiny scrap' of a garden behind the bouse under the one small tree It contained. It was a broiling hot day, and Dumas, who was very stout said to his son: "I am suffocating with the Intense heat" "What shall I do, father?' "Suppose you open your chamber window and lot a little air into the garden," replied old Alexandre, with gravity. One Exception. "No," declared Mr. Nagget "there never was a woman on earth who could refrain from turning around to rubber at some other woman's clothes." "No?" replied bis wife sweetly. "Didn't you ever hear of Eve?" Phila delphia Press. Surf Bathing Abroad. Unlike Americans, Englishmen pre fer to have their surf bath before breakfast. They slip out of their rooms and the surf as a sort of duty and prefer a buff bath, or one without tlte Incumbrance of a bathing suit If they can be permitted to enjoy it. With them the bath, even In the breakers, is more of a duty than a pas time, as It Is with the French and Americans. Neither do the people of continental Europe enjoy the pleasures of the surf with the same avidity as marks the summer day along the American coast There Is more or less of custom or fashion to dictate to the temporary dwellers along the seashore.

Mrs. Jacobs has also tried it and proved its wonderful proper ties and now she recommends It Reside puch testimony as this its maker's words are unimtMirtant. Mrs. Jacobs' experi ence is a fact.

A dainty stranger wafted Into the dining room of a hotel In Smith Centre tbe other day and as the chair was held back for blm pulled out his handker chief and dusted the seat carefully. Pulling up his trousers, he seated him self, wiped the knife, fork and spoon with a napkin, worried a few crumbs off the table and heaved a sigh of re lief. Without hesitation the girl who topped forward to take his order deft ly wiped the stranger's mouth, which had been drawn into a pucker of dis satisfaction at the Imaginary untidi ness abounding, and planted a kiss thereon that was plainly heard In all parts of the room. The dainty stran ger when he recovered ordered meekly, ate hurriedly and left aulckly. Kansas City Journal. Demean. Says a writer In the London Chroni cle: "A vulgarism one which, like 'ag gravate' for 'irritate,' has come Into use by way of the kitchen stairs la 'demean,' with a sense of derogation or abasement It Is to be seen In many a paper and even many a book and heard in many a speech. It Is the sec ond syllable that has misled the popu lar understanding, but the noun 'de meanor' should have saved the edu cated from their blunder with the verb. When the cook refuses to 'demean her self she Is excusable, because 'de meanor1 Is not In her vocabulary."
