A Most Respectable jury

The law provides for an ideal iury.
that is, one which is not prejudiced for
or against the prisoner. But in prac-
tice it is difficult to secure twelve men
of "cold neutrality" All men are
more or less influenced by unconscious
prejudices, such as arise from birth.

life,
Lawyers know the power which SYM
pathy has over the Judgment of men.
In defending criminals, they not infre-
quently finesse to secure Jury whose
unconscious sympathies will be in favor
of the prisoner. A thief's counsel
would not be grieved if he believed
Shakspeare's words true of those irving
his client:
The jury, passing on the prisoners life,
May in the sworn twelve have thief or two
Guilter than him they try.
An anecdote of distinguished LAWYER
of Kentucky, the late John J. Critten-
den, sets forth this trick of advocacy.
He had been retained to defend a man
indicted for biting off another mans ear
in a fight. The trial came off before
Judge Broadnax, stately, heightened
gentleman, who dressed in short trous-
ers, silk stockings and top-boots. The
Judge hated rowdyism, and, though a
warm admirer of Mr.. Crittenden, often
chlded him for taking fees of low rascals
who habitually engaged in brawls.
After much sparring between the court
and States Attorney and the prisoners
counsel, eleven jurymen were obtained
Many respectable men had been reject
ed by Mr.. Crittenden, fact which had
exasperated the Judge An Unlocking

of his nose torn off, and bruised face.
was brought up to be sworn in as the
twelfth juryman..
MIR. Crittenden asked him a few ques-
lions, and then coolly said:
Well, Judge, rather than be the
cause OF any more delay, I'll take this
man."
"I knew i'll exclaimed the, angry
Judge, springing to his feet. eyes, I
knew 1t The moment I laid eyes on
the fellow, [ knew you would accept
him /! Did any living man." he con-
tlnued, looking contemptuously at the
jury-box, fever see such jury be-

''Why, your Honor" quietly replied
Mr.. Crittenden, 81 pronounce this a
most respectable jury
Of course, after the Judges speech,
the prisoners case was decided. The
jury went through the formality of q
trial, and brought in verdict" Not
guilty" Their prejudices and their IL
ritation, excited by the Judges con-
tempt, were too active for them to rem
der verdict according to law and evil
dence.

Goats as Churners.

The most striking feature of the dairy
ranch of Z. S. Clough, in San Mateo
canon, is the new dairy house which Mr..
Clough recently completed at cost Of

sions, finished externally in rustic style,
and inside is as trim and clearly as the
thrifty housewives "best room" The
butter-room, an apartment I0x15 feet in
dimensions, is as inviting as a parlor.
The apparatus for handling the milk and
making the butter is complete in every
detail, and is designed throughout for
the saving of labor. The churn holds
fifty-two gallons of cream, and turns out
from 100 to 120 pounds of butter at each
churning. It is worked by goat power,
the appliances being a treading- wheel
eighteen feet In diameter, which connects
with and operates shaft running into
the dairy house, and this in turn con-

Anecdotes of Snuff Takers.

Talleyrand once said that snuff taking
was Indispensable to diplomats and pol
iticians. When suddenly pressed to
answer some awkward question they
could gain time for thought by indulg-
ing in pinch of snuff Would you
confute your opponent in argument, -
said the brilliant Charming, "learn to
take snuff and turn your back p "Where
did you get that brilliant sentiment in
your song ?" asked gentlemen of Tom
Moore, a little skeptical as to the poets
originality. "Why, I got it." replied
Moore, printing his tipped nose with a
pinch of snuff, 81 got it where I got all
the rest, to be sure, at Lundy Foot's
shop" referring to the great tobacco
mist of Dublin. Prof. Matthews
tells, in an article on GA Pinch of
Snuff, several good stories of clergy
men who were inveterate shutters. Here
is one:
A clergyman who was New England
pastor, and an inveterate snuff taker,
one Sunday morning began the service
by announcing that a portion of the
10th Psalm would be read, beginning
at the twenty-ffth verse. While the
congregation were looking out the Psalm
in their Bibles, he took a lusty pinch of
snuff As he began to read, series OF
nasal explosions forced the following
rendering:
"My soul clea-e-e-e-che-che-e
cleaveth unto the dust p
The tittering of the congregation
showed that they had made an applica-
ton of the scripture lesson.

Utilizing the SUMS Heat.

A French inventor is said to have con-
Hlved an arrangement of mirrors by
which the suns rays may be so concen-
trated as to work steam-engine. 1t Is
not the first time this has been attempted,
and probably will not be the last. The
utilization of the suns heat for such pur-
poses has long been dream of invent
ors, and the future may very possibly
see something of Importance accom-
plished in this direction. Such an in
vention as this will probably be COM
bined with another announced year or
two back, but of which we have since
heard nothing This consisted of plan
for storing solar heat. Powerful convex
mirrors were brought to bear on a mass
OF metal upon which the heat of the sun
was intensified to such an extent as to
bring it to very high temperature. In
that condition it was inclosed in a care
fully constructed non-conducting box
until required for use. The storage of
water in q frozen condition has become
SO simple a matter that it cannot be re-
garded as altogether Utopian to look for
ward to the time when the storage of
hlghly-heated bodies will also be prac-
ticable and easy. On small scale and
with moderate degrees of heat it is done
now, indeed it is obviously quite as easy
to preserve high temperature as low
one. The invention alluded to afforded
the means of laying UP store of solar
heat, and also an arrangement by which
such store might be drawn upon at
pleasure. That would obwiate the one
great difficulty in the utilization of the
suns heat, VIZ, the fact the great lumi-
nary is not always shining, and will
rarely show himself precisely when he is
wanted, in our ATTITUDES atany rate. There
Is nothing absolutely, impossible or i'm
practicable in either of these inventions,
or in their combination, but the fatal
objection to any scheme of the kind
hitherto conceived is, that it requires an
outlay far beyond what will be compen-
stated by the results. Taking interest on
the necessary outlay into account, such
contf1vances cannot as yet be made to
pay. The future may see this difficulty
overcome, and then his solar eminence
may find he has a good many little odd
jobs to attend to as Ground the world
he shines. "-LO4adO7e Globe.

avail IN hours like these? Grace's
last moments were numbered, and she
passed away, leaving her little one to
Nellie.
And Edward, when the first benumb-
ing influence of his grief was over, sold
his practice-he had no need of it now
and went abroad.
Eighteen months passed away A man
bronzed and bearded stood at the gate
of the old farmhouse. A little toddling
creature ran down the path, her fair
curls flying in the wind. The stranger
caught her up.
What is your name, little one ?"
And IN baby-voice she told him
g Oracle Melville" and he covered her
little face and hair with kisses. But
who was this coming out to look for
her
&c Auntie Nellie !" she said, in pretty
piping treble, and slid down from her
fathers arms.
cousin Edward !" exclaimed Nellie,
gladly, the color rising rapidly to her
usually quiet, pale face.
And he shook hands with her then,
keeping the hand he had taken, he led
her indoors.

"And will you tell me now, once
more, Nellie, dearest, that you love me
better than any one else in the world ?"
Nellie swiftly covered his mouth with
her hand, while burning bushes dyed
her cheeks.
ooh, Cousin Edward, do please for
oct that T avar sold ca ~
"Not likely" he returned, smilingly.
"Ah, Nellie, and he was serious now,
GO l have learned my lesson since that
evening. [ have learned to value love,
not as it deserves, but at least to set it
above everything earthly. My Nellie
do not tell me that your love for me is
dead !"
Never mind Nellie's reply. Two
months from that day she became Ed
wards wife, and he never had the small
est need to remind her that she had
promised to obey him, simply because
she loved him, and to do as he wished
was pleasure.
And, having at great risk and cost
learned his lesson, Edward strove to
teach it to others, and to more than one
young man he gave in confidence the ad-
vice: eff you wish to be happy, marry
only a woman who loves you. Neither
money nor position, nor anything else,
can bear the least comparison with love,
which will outlive them ALL

that was not the only drive they had, nor
the only evening they spent In chatting
and laughing. Nellie and her father
and mother-aH three, and many of the
neighbors besides, soon saw what it
would come to. And Nellie grew
older and graver day by day. But as
yet she kept her own secret, and she
hoped more and more that Edward had
forgotten her foolish, thoughtless words
on a certain moonlight night, now some
seven or eight weeks ago.
At last the engagement was an
nounced. Grace Bassett had no friends
to interfere with her, and, fattered by
Edwards attentions, and quite believ-
ing that she loved him "quite enough
for happiness" she had agreed that
the marriage should take place as soon
as all needful arrangements could be
made.
"You know, Nellie" said she, as the
two sat sewing In the garden one hot af-
ternoon, while Edward was out on his
rounds, sit really does not do to love a
person too much. You are certain to
become slave to his whims and ca
prices if you do. I have always made up
my mind that I would marry man who
loved me, and that if I had reasonable
liking for him in return he would not
expect or even wish anything more
Nellie made some reply, she scarcely
knew what, and then she went on think
ing the matter over Had she been ex-
alting love to an undue value? With
her it had stood before everything. eff
man would give all the substance of
his house for love it would utterly be
condemned" She had entirely Endorsed
the sentiment. But now was it possible
that she had made mistake? Oracle
Bassett was year or two older than
herself, and probably knew better than
she did. Nevertheless, at the conclusion
of her cogitations, Nellie shook her
head, and half smiled and half sighed as
she answered:
"Well, you have, of course, right
to your own opinion, Oracle, but must
say [ don't agree with you. I think
that 1 would rather die than marry
man whom 1 did not love with all my
heart"
And Nellie gathered up her sewing
and went into the house, singing Is she
went:
Love shall still be lord of all.

OUR YOUNG FORKS.
Bcggar Folk.

Ecggar Folk.
I live in the house with beggars,
Indeed, indeed I do,
And if You will listen patiently
will tell my woes to you.
Our house is rather fine one,
With plenty of lawn and trees,
With hammock when the days are fine
Where one may rock at ease;
There's a strong swing in the orchard,
And place to play croquet;
There's a barn with fragrant bins of grain,
And loft that's full of hay;
And at almost any hour
You could wish for them, there wait
pony and phaeton
All ready at the gate.
And yet in this house live beggars!
Would there might never be
A less well-fed and rosy crew
Than are these beggars threel
They are never ragged or hungry;
Their faces are fair and sweet;
They have lovely hats for their bright heads,
And dainty shoes for their feet.
But listen "Please give me a"-penny?
Nay, you have guessed it wrong;
It Is, "Please give me story-please-
And tell one nice and long!'
IT'S the cry when they wake In the morning,
The cry when they go to bed,
From these gay little beggar folk,
Edith, Gold-Locks and Ted.
And such persuasive accent
They have in it, every one,
That it's hard to find place to stop

Perfect health depends upon perfect

the latter has the. former. Put your
hand under your dress upon your body.
Now place it upon your arm. If you
find the body over ninety degrees and
your arm under sixty degrees, you have
lost the equilibrium. The head has too
much blood, producing headache; or
the chest too much, producing cough,
rapid breathing, pain in the side, or pal
pitation Of the heart or the stomach
too much, producing indigestion. Any
or all of these difficulties are temporarily
relieved by immersion of the hands or
feet in hot water, and permanently re-
heved by such dress and exercise of the
extremities as will make the derivation
permanent.

tons an experiment which may have i'm
portant results for lumbermen and grist-
millers. Sawdust and bran compressed
at little cost into a space which will
much reduce the cost of their transporta-
ton. Into block of compressed saw
dust an eight-penny nail was driven so
firmly that it broke in the attempt to
draw it. Yet the block was easily fra
bic. Three pecks of bran were com
pressed into roll six inches long by SIX
inches diameter, capable of enduring
much handling, yet easily broken by the
fingers. The process will probably
bring sawdust largely into use for bed

Shade Trees.

The maple is one Of the best shade
trees for city growth It is not affected
q particle by the extremes of heat and
cold. It forms beautiful head, with
clean, glossy foliage, smooth bark, is
free from all insects, and has rapid
growth. In i've years, in good soil, it
makes o fine, symmetrical head, with
gracefully sweeping branches, and af-
fords dense shade. The American
tulip-tree is also very choice. It's
great elegance of habit, and striking
beauty of leaf and blossom, recommend
it to any one who has an eye to fine pro-
portions. 1t requires deep soil, with
plenty of room to expand freely on all
sides. It will not bear removing when
large but small trees grow rapidly when
transplanted into deep soil.

CHAPTER III.

q You will go to meet Miss Bassett,

ooh, yes, mother. Edward was good
enough to say that he would drive me-
to the station in his dog cart, and he
will bring us both home, too. He says
That a rich young lady like Miss Bassett
will not care to walk mile, even along
our lovely lanes, he is sure"
Perhaps there was the slightest under
tone of sarcasm In Nellie's voice, for
mother glanced at her as if in surprise,
without replying.
Edward had given Nellie, bit by bit,
and with good deal of tact, his ideas
upon the subject of money, and of the
comfort to be derived from o proper use
of it. Outwardly the two were as good
friends as ever. At heart, however, he
was carefully on his guard, while Nellie,
tender and good-natured though she
was, could not help slightly despising
him.
Miss Bassett was an old schoolfellow
OF Nellles, and a great heiress, and she
had taken a fancy to spend the remainder
of the summer in the old tumhle-down
farmhouse which Nellie called home.
Edward was very attentive, even spe-
cially kind to Nellie, on their way to the
station, and her heart went out to him
again. IF only 1 had not said that to
