A Patent Juror.

A San Francisco man claims to have
invented patent juror which will fully
meet the requirements of the law.
The patent, incontrovertible incorrupt-
ible juror is built of boiler iron, firmly
riveted from the neck to the hips, and
covered with trunk leather, ornament
ally sewed, and warranted not to rip or
crack. From the hips to the heels the
material employed is boxwood, fitted
with joints and bound with copper,
thus insuring tlexibility, durability, and
strength where they are most needed
in juror The head is made of bass
wood, thickly studded with brass-head-
ed nails and covered with railroad iron.
which is riveted with bolts passing
through the cranium. A sheathing of
copper conceals the bolt-heads, and is
in turn hidden by the ordinary jurors
expression of intelligence, skillfully ap-
piled by eminent artists who employ
none but the finest paint The trunk
Of the invention contains rod nicely
balanced and hung in the center.
The mouth is provided with two ton
gues on one of which is painted in bold
characters Guilty" and on the other
Not guilty" These tongues are con-
nected with the balance rod by two fine,
stiff, steel wires. From either end OF
the rod is suspended a piece of cheese,
and, when balanced, the tongues remain
in the mouth. The case is tried as be-
fore the average juror, the evidence is
carefully drawn out, the summing-up
speeches made by the counsel and the
charges delivered by the court. When
the case is closed rat is introduced
into the trunk and locked up by the
Sheriff. The parties in action have
then but to await the verdict. Sooner
or later, according to the extent to
which the facts have been disputed. the
rat eats one piece of cheese, which will
allow the opposite end of the bar to
fall, pressing up the wire connected to
one of the tongues and presenting at
the mouth the verdict of Guilty" OF
"Not guilty" as luck may have direct
ed the rat.-iSdn Francisco Post.

-S
Elizabeth of Austria

Empress Elizabeth of Austria, is the
most beautiful crowned lady in the
world. Yet one loves to contemplate
her not adorned with costly laces and
resplendent in hereditary Jewels, but
arrayed in the dark cloth dress of cas-
tellans, wives of the olden time, proudly
and bravely refining in fiery horse.
The retreats of old Hungary have
great fascination for her. 1t is among
them that she gallops with heroine's
recklessness; now dashing at full speed
beneath the shade of an6 Il trees. now
leaping over hedge and ultch. What
apparition in this matter-of-fact age of
ours is this chivalrous beauty, stately
and imposing as the fairy of the Black
Forest and fully as benevolent! Her
horse, which fees so often from pal
aces, ever stops before the cottage door.
The Empress is u sunbeam to the suf-
fering. This woman with a gentle heart
under an Amazon's breast, cherishes
in beautiful jeweled box, not Il stone
of great price, but little faded nosegay
of edelweiss, that mountain flower,
white and delicate, as Il snowflake,
which Austrian peasants attach to their
buttonholes as Il sign of love. The little
nosegay was given the Empress by her
husband 1T the time they were he
trothed. For the last two years Eliza
beth Of Austria has gone to Ireland for
her hunting. This year she will take
up her residence at Combermere Alb
hey. Twenty grooms and horses have
been sent in advance to the Empress
yDf
about forty persons of very varied rank,
from chambermaids and maids of hon
or down to cooks and scullions. The
Empress hates all noises, with the ex-
ception of the bugle's notes in the for
est the rally, the tally-ho, the barking
of the hound and the clatter of the
horses feet. To deafen the various
sounds in Combermere Castle, there
fore, the fiagstones of the courtyard
and the floors of the galleries and corri-
dors have been carpeted. The En-
press, beautiful now as ever. still wears
Il triple diadem of black tresses Were
it not that she is dark inst cad of blonde,
one could compare her to Tasso's Her
minla. In spite of her sporting procliv-
tiles her womanlv nature continually
shows itself by this and that feminine
peculiarly Thus she daily attaches
to her waist three dark roses, and
wherever she may happen to be these
flowers must be furnished her A fan
is invariably dangling from her horses
saddle. 1t is designed with the arms
of Austria, and she uses it often to
shade her weary eyes from the suns
rays. The Empress has an adventur-
Gus imagination. She loves the poets
of old and the legends of the past. 1t
is perhaps because she herself is liv-
ing poem which has strayed away from
some long-forgotton legend?

A large crowd witnessed the depart
ure of the Rodgers, the Polar relief
ship, when she sailed from San Fran
cisco in search Of the Jeanette. The
vessel carries five whale boats and an
ice dingy, and has house on deck,
forward, in which is the apothecary's
dispensary and bathroom. The Redg-
ers is provisioned, coaled, oficered and
manned for long cruise Her stores
are sufficient for four years, and could
be eked out to last five years if neces-
sary. She is heavily sheathed with
three-inch oak planks, and in addition
to her regular stationary ship pumps,
she carries two auxiliary steam pumps.
The cruise will be from San Francisco
to st. Berry, thence to Lawrence bay,
along the coast Of Siberia The vessel
is ordered to go as far north as Herald
island. If nothing definite is learned
by that time, different course is to be
pursued, and it will go to Wrangle
Island, along the southern shore, and
winter there. Unless information is
obtained to justify Lieutenant Berry
in remaining longer. he will return by
the end of the second year. There are
fourteen officers and crew on board, a
steward, two cooks, three firemen, and
fifteen able-bodicd seamen.
