The verdicts Of jurics pass all under

verdict Of Welsh jury: "Not guilty
but we recommend him not to do II
again" Mackenzie relates that an
English jury, not very bright, having q
prisoner before them charged with bur-
glary, and being unwilling to convict
him capitally, as no personal violence
accompanied the robbery, gave the YER
dict: "Guilty Of getting out OF the win.
dow" He adds that the most original
was that OF an Irish jury before whom q
prisoner pleaded guilty, throwing him.
self on the mercy Of the court The
verdict was; "Notguilty." The judge,
in surprise, exclaimed; why, he has
confessed his crimcr The foreman
responded; "Ah my lord, you do not
know that fellow, but zoe do. He is
the most notorious liar in the whole
country, and no twelve men who know
his character can believe u word that
he says" And as the jurors adhered
to their verdict the "liar" escaped. A
remarkable verdict was once given by
New York jury. The case was that OF
a Young woman who was heartlessly de-
serted BY her husband. butcher. She
finally discovered him at Slaughter
house talking TO woman, who wore at
the moment what she recognized as her
own best dress, which she had bought
with her own earnings before marriage.
He refused to talk with her. The next
morning he WAS seen to take proifered
cake from the hands of a young woman,
divide it with some companions, and in
a few hours was dead, his companions
being taken very sick. hut surviving
The police, investigating the matter,
found that the deceased had three wives,
or rather three women supposed them
selves his wives. All three were arrest
ed, but two were speedily released, as
our heroine admitted that she had done
the business. The case for the defense
was weak, but only after few minutes
absence the jury returned with a YER
dict of not guilty. The prisoners coun-

Happy Children"

As house-plants cannot flourish with
ont sunshine, so children cannot thrive
and be happy without love. How radi.
ant are their bright faces as they respond
10 tones and words OF affection from the
lips OF their parents! Little they know of
the deep solicitude, OF the constant care
exercised toward them but they do full
ly understand and appreciate protesta-
tons of love and tenderness. Why should
we be chary Of these, when they cost
only speaking? Il know now,' said
lady not long ago, that my mother
loved me tenderly, but during all my
childhood doubted it,
If We're really dear TO her, | que
Red, why did she never tell me so? Why
did she never caress me, and assure me
OF her love? She thought her actions
spoke loudly enough without words. |
could not read her actions then rs | can
now, and how longed to hear her call
me loving names, and to have her wrap
me in the sweet embrace Of her strong
mother love" Many a little heart aches
just as this lady's did, and can be made
happier by the spontaneous utteranceS
OF maternal affection than by beads, or
dolls, fine clothes, or costly toys.
Children who grow up in this constant
atmosphere of love are rarely mischiev-
Gus, never vicious. The mightiest of all
agencies to lead the young in paths of
virtue is in the hands of parents, and to
command this agency they need but
give expression to the natural overflow
Of their hearts.
Children, TO be happy, need encour-
agement and praise, 1t is not enough
that they escape censure. Negatives are
always cold and blank. Our little ones
want warm, positive approval when
they have done right Thus they will
be made to feel that the paths Of wisdom
are paths of pleasantness and peace

Charlotte Oushmanls Intrepid Snirit

The following anccdote illustrates
Miss Cushman's decision and nerve, At
the National Theater, Boston, during the
season Of 1912, as she was playing
Romeo to the Juiiet Of Miss Anderton,in
the midst Of one of the most romantic
passages between the lovers. some per-
son in the house sneezed in such man
ner as to attract the attention of the
whole audience, and every one knew
that the sneeze was artificial and deris-
I've. Miss Cushman instantly stopped
the dialogue, and led Miss Anderton of
the stage, as a cavalier might lead a
lady from o place where an insult had
been offered her. She then returned TO
The footlights and said in q clear, firm
voice: "Some man must put that person
out or | shall be obliged to do it my
self." The fellow was taken away; the
Sudience rose en- masse and gave three
cheers for Miss Cushman who recalled
her companion, and proceeded with the
play as if nothing had happened.

Scarcely any one can ever forget the

with which the magician was viewed
with childish eyes. The legerdemain
practiced and the instantaneous trans
formations effected-how they appealed
to our surprise. In older moments,
however, when everything Is viewed as
a matter of course, we are remainded of
the days of magic by hearing, from our
own citizens. such remarks as the fol-
lowing: Mr.. Geo. Shick informed our

rheumatism in his feet so badly, that
for weeks at a time he would be una.

remedies without relief, but seeing an

and to his establishment it acted like
magic. In two days, he was entirely
cured. His wife also was cured by its
use. VIM. Jacob, Druggist, Hamilton,
being asked concerning the remedy
said: cit gives me pleasure to certify
that the st. Jacobs Oil furnishes better
satisfaction as a cure for rheumatism
than any other liniment. And in this
unqualified Endorsement, he is Joined
by Mr.. VIM. Moll and Mr.. Eugene

be most strongly founded.
