him come out alive. Yet he reached

TRIAL JUSTICES.

The bill before the Connecticut legislature relating to trial justices is an attempt to make an improvement where one is very much needed. It is not radical measure. It creates no new courts and does not inter fere with any existing courts. It does not take away any power or jurisdiction from justices of the peace. It simply provides for the judges of the Superior court designating, in each county, from the justices elected, 8 certain number who may act as trial justices. Parties may try their cases before any justice to the same extent that they can now. But the judgment of the trial justice or of the justice before which the parties consent to try their case must be final as to the facts. A limit is placed to delay and expense.
 There is no doubt about the evils of the present system. They are plain, numerous and important. The idea at the bottom of the system is good one. It is that small causes can be tried before justices of the peace quickly and without much expense, and that thus the people will be benefited. But the system does not work as it ought to. The Hartford Times says with truth: All causes, civil or criminal, now within the ju- risdiction of justice of the peace are liable to be tried twice. Most of the closely con- tested causes are tried twice. This results in many cases in denial of justice. A poor man is threatened with such delay and ex pense, ii he dares to assert his rights, that he is almost forced to submit to injustice. A claim of fifty dollars is almost of as much inn portance to a man with small income as e, l.11- 1 richer neighbor. The law ought to provide a way for the speedy and comparatively in expensive enforcement of the small claim. But it does not. The creditor brings his suit to recover $50 justly due him; he has trial before justice of the peace, and the justice gives judgment in his favor. This is but the beginning of his trouble. An appeal follows to higher and more expensive court. After 8 considerable delay he has another and more expensive trial. The court gives judgment in his favor. But an other appeal follows to the Supreme Court of Errors. A third and still more expensive trial is at hand. The Supreme court grants new trial for some mistaken ruling that does not touch the real merits of the case. The plaintiff is forced to another trial, and finally he recovers his $50 after one or two years delay, after four trials, and after e1- pending more than four times the amount finally recovered.
 This is a correct description of the way the present system too often works. There is great need of change in this matter, and the bill now before the legislature seems well calculated to provide fer good start to- ward thorough reform

A white muslin cap covers this half of the head, and ties under the chin with the neighborly mantilla. The hair under this cap is quite smoothly banded, offering a riquant cont ast with the waving locks at the right side The feet and legs are, of course, as much at variance as the two sides. The Cigale leg is encased in red silk stocking matching the dress on that side, and little shoe of black satin.

\ Remar able Costume.

Girls Gossip in London Truth.
 see that in France some ingenious per sons have devised a more simple mode of ap- bearing as two characters. This is managed by dressing the two sides of the body in two different costumes. For instance, one-half of fancy ball costume is ''La Cigale" and the other "La Fourmi." On the ''Cigale" side the skirt is silk, trimmed with gather ed founce pinked out round the edge. The black velvet bodice, or rather half-bodice, is almost hidden by 8 half of brightly tinted silk or cashmere, which forms panier and drapery at the back. A black lace mantilla is arranged on the right side of the head, on which the hair is crimped. The mantilla is fastened by a high comb, placed on one side and made to stand ct a giraffe like elevation by bunch of flowers covering it's teeth. Now come to the Fourml side of this very original dress. The dress is of blue and white striped skirting, and an apron of biscuit-colored linen is joined straight down the front to the Cigale silk skirt. 4 large pocket adorns this apron, and out of it
