NcighbOrliness of Juries.

Sometimes neighborly feeling may be
carried to mistaken extent. Lord
Campbell, in his Olives of the Chan
cellors," relates m amusing incident
in Lord Eldon's early career which gives
an example of this. Lord Eldon, then
Mr.. Scott, was engaged for the first
time in n trial at his native town of New.
castle. He himself had small hope OF
his clients success, but the jury unani.
mously found in his favor. The mys.
terry was explained by the foreman, who
hustled up after the trial to congratu-
late the young advocate on his success,
adding:
"Of course, Lawyer Scott, you were
sure of my vote"
A similar misapprehension of their
duties is related Of q jury at York some
years later. Lord Eldon, who was trying
case, found that juror was missing
from his place, wherein one of the
others rose with the remark:
at is no consequence, my lord the
trial can go on. He is friend of mine,
and has left his verdict with me-"

The Oriental Jews.

Before the Crmcan War the Jews we're
afraid to venture into Syria, and suffered
from great disadvantages under Moslom
rule; but since British protection has
been extended TO then, they have begun
to increase so rapidly as to threaten in
time to become masters Of Palestine.
They have almost closed the gales of
Jerusalem TO the native peasantry by
establishing outposts on the main roads,
where they buy at enormous discount
the produce Of the country, which they
retail to the citizens at u profit of 100
per cent. They have instituted mon
ctary currency of their own, in the form
Of dirty fragments Of paper, with He.
brew inscriptions, promising to pay the
sums Of from one to four pennies in
Turkish coin. These diminitive bank
notes they have forced the pcasaniry to
accept, and they will rarely redeem them
except ut discount. The Oriental jew
is not n lovablc character. TO those who
know the refinement and education
which exists among European Jews, or
who have been acquainted with the true
jewish aristOcracy which is TO be found
among the old families of Spain and Mo.
rocco, it is hard to believe that the Ash
kcna2in can he the same race with the
Sephurlin. The distinction of charac
ter is broad rs that of physical appear
aucc and costume. Tho tall, black
bearded Spanish jew, with his aquiline
features, his large brown eyes, his flow
ing robes, and the black turban which
llukom imposed on tho race nine centu-
lics ago, is the very opposite of the
dwnriish Pharisee from Poland or Ger
many, with his greasy love-locks," his
dirty garbadiue, white stockings, and
furry cap-his face wi2cncd and greedy
his gait Bringing and subscrvient, his
religious IDEAS confined to the scnseless
repeiitions of Talmudic ordinances, and
his soul filed only with the desire Of
money. Those who know the Ashkcna-
Yin best, have but one opinion Of their
ignorance, ianatcism, seliishncss and
immortality; and the tales which circu-
late among men quite free from any anti
jewish prejudice, concerning the filth
ness of the domestic habit Of the Oriental
jew, will not bear repetition or even
0llusion. 1t is with such specimens Of
the ancient people that the four holy
cities of Palestine are becoming rapidly
filed, while the richer and nobIer Jews
of Western Europe appear to take, rs
yet, little interest in the home of their
iorefathers. -BIackvoOdS .WaQasine.

The Fall.

Hero is boys composition on fall
This is fall, because it falls on this sea-
son of the year. Leaves fall, too, as
well as thermometers and the price of
straw hats. Old topcrs, who sign the
pledge in summer, are liable to fall when
fall cider-making opens, for straws snow
which way the cider goes. Huslling
corn liz one of the pleasures of fall, but
pleasure isn't good for boys, l don't
think. Old men want little fun; let
them husk. A husky old man can go
through good deal of corn, sometimes.
Digging taters is another of our fail
amuscments. The way like to dig ta-
ters is to wait until they are baked
nicely, and then dig them out of their
skins. Most winter schools open in the
fall. The best winter school / went to
didn't open until spring, and the first
day ii opened the teacher took sick, and
the school house was locked up for the
season. Once in II while We have very
severe fall, but nothing like the fall Of
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Summer is misnamed. IL should be
called pride, for doesn't pride go before
a fall ?

East Indian Snakcs md Wolves.

An East India paper says: "Onc

ward OF 1900. This, says Bombay
paper, is n considerable hill Of mortality
ion one Presidency, but We suppose in
this, rs in all other matters, rs il so
often asserted, the minor Prcsidencies
must ndmit the superiority of Bengal.
Compared with the returns of 1878, the
figures quoted from an interesting state
mcnt just issued by Mr.. Counsel, the
Acting Registrar, show considerable
increase. In one respect, however, there
was falling of, namely, in the number
OF persons killed by wolyes-cighiy-
three, against 1852 in 1873. Probably
wolves ARE less voracious in Bengal than
they used TO be, but the shikars, anna.
tcur and professional, have not shown
more consideration for them than fbl-
merry. Indeed, the sportsmen have met
with greater success than ever, for
nearly 500 more were killed than in tho
previous twelve months. Altogether
6,543 wild animals were destroyed dur
ing the past year. From the statistics
sent IN to Government it appears TINT
Il, lO2 snakes were killed, against 2l,276
IN 1873, but the actual number was
probably very much larger. The re-
turns relate only to the snakes for the
destruction of which rewards were paid.
These rewards are only given for CO.
bras, daboras, and ker0its destroyed
within the limits of towns, municipal
ties, and villages in which the Village
Chowkidaree act is in force and it seems
that many persons who destroy venomous
snakes, even within the limits for which
rewards arc given, never ask for the
money to which they are entitled. The
total amount paid in rewards last year
was 2S.370.14 rupees"

SPRING

AT this season every
body feels weak and out
of sorts, because the sys-
TEN is run down, and the
blood weakened. This
condition is dangerous,
because Of the liability
to contract serious dis
ease at a time when
nature is less liable to
throw it off; and an eff
fective remedy, such as
Browns lRoN BITTERs,
shouldbepromptlyused.
This non-alcoholic, true

The Swiss Way.

In the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland,
every country school-master is required
to know something Of agriculture and
natural history, to the end that he may
instruct his pupils therein. Every vii
lage has its night school, in which lads
and young men who have attended the
communal school the required term
until the completion OF their thirteenth
year-may obtain further instruction in
matters relating to their calling; and,
during the winter, lectures are given in
the village school-rooms-sometimes in
the village churches by professorl
from the University, on agricultural
chemistry and kindred subjects.

Norvepians at Table.

Table manners are at a low ebb In
Norway. Consistency does not seem to
be regarded a a jewel. The same peo-
pie who bow so very tremendously to
each other and express sympathy and
interest in the veriest trife of life, and
who dance and grimace fully five min
utes at an open door before they car
determine which shall enter first, are
exceedingly M-bred during meal time.
Their knives wander so far down their
throats that n must at least admire
their courage, though failing to appre-
clate its object. In these feats they
rival the professional knife -swallowers
OF Bombay. They hold their forks like
pens. Even a four-tined fork is not
considered too unwieldy to use as a
toothpick. All knives are put promis-
cuously into the butter dish-which in
deed is never provided with q separate
implement. Also when spoons are furn-
ished for a public dish a Norwegian
generally prefers using his own. Eggs
are sucked from the shell. The people
eat most voraciously, displaying the ap-
petites Of tigers, and making disagreeable
noises with their mouths. They rise
and reach across the table for something
you could readily pass them, and some
times a person gets up and walks to the
end OF the table for some particular dish
he fancies. When the plates are changed
at the end of a course the knives and
forks are apt to be simply wiped by the
waiter upon a towel in full sight, and
then c~omplacently returned to you.
And yet it was the Sc~andianvians who
won from Voltaire the praise of being
the "Frenchmen of the North" on &C
count of their punctilious ~politeness.
Kind-hearted and well meaning, but
surely somewhat deluded old man.
