Judge Davis used to tell some admirable
stories of an old Illinois Judge, one of which
we chance particularly to remember One
of the Judges was rather remarkable for con-
veying to jurors in his charges to them his
own opinions with regard to the merits of
the case In one case he had done so with
great plainness, but to his amazement the
jury hung out for hours without coming to
an agreement. The judge inquired of the
bailif what was the matter, and learned from
him that one juror was hanging out against
the other eleven. He sent for the jury at
once, and, stating to the jurors that he had
plainly intimated how the case ought to be
decided, said he understood that one Juror
was standing out against the other eleven -
He proceeded to rcbuke the juror sharply
The obstinate juror was II nervous little man
and, as soon as the judge was done, he rose
up and said:

Seventh Sons.

1t is reported that a aspike maker at
Troy, who is theseventh son of a seventh
son, is SO steadily in. demand by sick peo
pie, who believe that he is born healer
of diseases, that he has been obliged to
abandon the nail factory and devote him
self to his patients, and that baseball
player, who is also seventh son of a
seventh son, is going to start on a heal
ing expedition. How the accident Of
being born seventh in a line of sons can
enable man to scatter health broadcast
is something that professors in medical
colleges have never yet explained, but
should the system. prove satisfactory in
practice no explanation will be neces-
sary. To be healed merely by talking
with man who had half dozen broth
ers born before him is much easier than
going through course Of pbysic and
being subject to the blunders of careless
prescription clerks. If some seventh son
will do some. trifing thing, like extir-
pating a cancer. or restoring a defective
eye, just toshow his genuineness, he will
find business enough to make him eter-
nally bless his birthday.-N z Herald.

The "PrOmised Land. /"

was once crossing a series of undu.
iating ranges abutting on Mount Hermon
with an English tourist who was making
merry at the utterly barren appearance
of the promised land" 1t turned out,
however, that his attempted wit served
to sharpen our observation, and we found
that all the hill-sides had once been ter
raced by human hands. A few miles
further on We came to Rasheiga, where
the vineyards still flourish on such ter
races, and we had no difficulty IN coming
to the conclusion that the baregterraceS,
! from. which lapse of time had worn away
! the soil, were once trellised with the vine,
the. highest emblem of prosperity and Joy.

to infer that because place is desolate
now, it must always have been so, 7 or
must always remain so. The Arab his
torian tells us that Salah-ed-Din, before
the battle OF HattIn, set fire to the for4
ests, and thus encireled the Crusaders
with a sea. of flame. Now there is
scarcely a shrub in the neighborh6od.
In wandering through, that sacred land,
over which the Crescent now waves, one
is amazed at the number of ruins that
stud, the landscape, and show what
must once have been the natural fer
tility of the country. Whence has
come the change? Is the blight natural
and permanent, or has it been caused
by accidental and artificial circum7
stances, which may be only temporary?
Doubtless, each ruin has its tale of
horror, but all trace their destruction to
Islamism, and especially to the blighting
and desolating presence of the Turk.

An Upright Judge.

A Judge full of caustic humor and
shrewd common sense, and remarkable
for the brevity of his judgments and the
rapid decision with which he was wont
to cut the much entangled knots of
litigation, was Sir Samuel Martin, Baron
of the Exchequer, whose death at the ape
OF elghty-two was almost simultaneous,
by curious coincidence, with the recent
opening of the new law courts of London.
In certain case he once summed I'D as
follows, after mass of contradictory
testimony and long speeches counsel:
Gentlemen of the jury, you have heard
the evidence and the speeches of the
learned counsel. If you believe the old
woman in red, you will find the prisoner
guilty; if you do not believe her, you will
find him not guilty" He had a thorough
hatred for interpreters IN court, and
once, when Spanish sailor was being
tried and the interpreter was particularly
unskillful, he exclaimed: .sMr. Inter-
prefer, tell the prisoner that he has got
Mr.-to TO prosecute him and Mr.-t to
defend him, and that I am the judge,
and this is the jury that will try him.
This having been conveyed to the pris-
oner, the Baron continued: .Now Mr..
interpreter, stand down." and tried the
whole case in English, pure and simple.
Baron Martins career was full of mercy
ana kindness as well as justice, and he
left the bench few years ago crowned
with the respect and love of all who
knew him. Apart from growing deaf
ness, his physical and intellectual facul-
ties remained unimpajred until within
three days OF bis death. .--Ifoadon Truth.
