The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the onLy sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that netting but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns Iron BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly aSSimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system. and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and IS posi-
lively ne injurious.

Reform OF the Jury System.


IN. Y. Herald
In passing the bill making the vote of
nine jurors sufficient for verdict in
civil cases the New Jersey Assembly has
taken step toward an important re-
form which ought to be made in every
State Of the Union. The jury room is
about the only place where unanimity il
essential to decision. In legislative
and executive bodies, on the Bench and
in popular assemblies, matters Of the
greatest concern are decided by ma
jority or o.thirds vote. The anoma-
lous principle Of unanimity in the Jury
system is relic of the ancient common
law for whose retention there is neither
reason nor exeuse The mischief which
it causes In civil suits by being
productive Of delay, cost, vexa-
ton and needless increase of litigation
can hardly be ,overestimated. In Grim
insl cases the evils resulting from II are
still greater. In every long trial the
ends Of justice are liable to be and often
are defeated by the obstinacy, stupidity
or dishonesty Of one or two jurors.
This was conspicuously illustrated in
the first star route trial, and it may
again be illustrated in the pending
trial. When nine men out Of twelve
find prisoner innocent OF guilty it is
safe and Just to both the accused and
the people to accept the verdict as con-
elusive. The principle Of unanimity
should be abolished in both our civil
and criminal Jurisprudence.

Western Women.



Perhaps the most striking character
istio Of the women Of the West is the
even undue Importance they place on
the intellectual life. 1t is o natural re-
suit Of the early deprivations Of the
parents who, in going to new country,
relinquish the educational privileges Of
the East, and to whose rsceding visions
the opportunities of schools, Libraries,
art galleries and social culture were
blessings that frightened as they took
their fight. A an almost invariabls
sequence, their children were reared to
consider these the very essentials Of life.
The mother might necessarily be con.
fined to life limited in its relalizations
but infinite in its aspirations, and out OF
this grew the feeling that the daughter
should enjoy those privileges denied to
herself. Thus the present generations
Of the women Of the West are the ones
who recruit the intellectual ranks.
