BARLEY was in his study with map
of the farm before him, and two re-
spectacle but rather rough men in close
conference over it. These were practical
men from the county of Durham, whom
he had ferreted out by means of an
agent, men who knew a great deal about
coal. They had already surveyed the
farm, and confirmed Hopes opinion
that coal lay below the surface of GER
tain barren fields. and the question now
was as to the exact spot where 1t would
be advisable to sink the first shaft.
BARLEY was heart and soul in this,
and elevated by love of gain far above
such puny considerations as the happi-
ness of Mary BARLEY and her lover.
She, poor girl, sat forlorn in her little
drawing-rOom, and tried to draw bit,
and tried to read bit, and tried to rec
oncile new German symphony to her
ears as well as to her judgment, which
told her it was too learned not to be
harmonious, though it sounded very dis
cordant. But all these efforts ended in
sigh of dependency, and in brooding
prospect which, to her youth and mex
perience, seemed a wilderness robbed
of the sun.
Whilst she sat thus pensive and sad
there came sudden rush and clatter of
hoofs, and Miss Clifford and Walter
Clifford refined up their horses under
the very window.
Mary started up delighted at the bare
sight of Walter. but amazed and puz-
zled. The next moment her quick in
telligence told her this was some daring
man@uvre or other, and her heart beat
high.
Walter opened the door and stood be-
side it. affecting a cold ceremony.
Miss BARLEY, / have brought Miss
Clifford to call on you at her request.
My own visit is to your father. Where
shall ! find him?n

DIR. w. II. HAMMOND Of Washington,
and Of the Brown-Sequard elixir ill-fame,
has brought himself into notice again.
It Is a cold day when one 81 these school
board sensational. half-educated, ire
pressble doctors cannot fost their Of
fensive personalities under the public
nose. Dr. Hammond has been run
ming sanitarium in Washing
ton city with Mrs. Rowla
as matron. There was disagreement
between the doctor and Mrs Rowland,
whereupon the doctor began a suit against
her in the police court for embezzling
800 The trial revealed several facts
which more prudent and less sensa-
tional man than the doctor would have
preferred to conceal. 1t seems that the
unblushing doctor had not been averse
to little speculation on the
board charges at his alleged sanitarium.
On the witness stand the doctor said
that in consultation with Mrs. Rowland
they had fixed on $3.50 week FOR each
inmate as the necessary outlay for food.
Patients paid at the rate OF ~ day for
board and $40 week for medical attend
Ance. Thus allowing $500 for food and
81. 40 for servants, rent and incidents,
the doctor realized profit OF
500 per week ON each patient,
Such a neat profit would have reconciled
even Western real estate agent, or 4
Philadelphia drummer, to loss OF $50
But not so with one Of these school board
sanitarium doctors. Those fellows would
risk their impoverished, little souls for I
sensation or a dollar When the dis
crepancy between 50 60 outlay and $40
income was commented ON the cheeky doc
tor explained that "the patients got some
thing for their 50 day besides board
baths, for instance. SO the doctor he
been running sanitarium at q clea
profit Of $i00 per week, less baths.

A REEInE ZOE oRlMlNAls.

The failure OF the New York jury to
convict Ives is another instance Of the
worthlessness Of juries.
For several decades all classes Of intel
ligent and disinterested men have con
demned juries and jury trials The one,
single class excepted is the lawyers The
lawyers are frequently intelligent, but
they are no disinterested Many. II not
the majority, Of the lawyers would be
out of practice II they had to practice be-
fore judges
Many lawyers are paid to bulldoze ard
befuddle the innocent and ignorant juror
Many lawyers have no standing In court
whatever, but for a certain low-toned
humbuggery and superficial sophistry
they are skillful in exploiting before a
jury. Hence the lawyers, as a class,
under the domination OF the impudent
and self-assertive jury-lawyer oppose
the abolition or even the reform Of the
jury system.
In the Ives trial tho jury disagreed and
were discharged There were ten for
!
tai Of Ives. Even the attorney for the
defence expected verdict Of guilt But
one particular juror, John A. Anderson.
had made himself decidedly conspicuous
during the trial by asking the witnesses
leading questions manifestly In the inter
est Of the defendant His mind was so
evidently biased in favor Of the young
prisoner that Recorder Smith rebuked
him. But No. was unable to repress
his ardor and after arguing the case with
one Of the witnesses he interrupted the
attorney for the prosecution.
When the jury retired to consider the
evidence No. bobbed up with sealed
and delivered opinion for acquittal. Ar
gument and comment had been finished
with him, perhaps before the trial began,
but surely before the evidence was all in.
With fool juror, like this man Ander-
son, how could there be anything else
than mistriall
But this Ives case is not the only
notorious failure Of the jury which hai
occurred within six months. There hav,

Adul.eration Of Coffee.

So extensive Is sdulteration Of coffee it is
not easy to obtain the pure article, even al
though the highest prices be paid. The sub
stances commonly used In adulteration are
chicory roasted grains, peas or beans The
principal element Of roasted chicory is sugar
It is useful in coloring the decoction, but adds
nothing 70 its virtues AS for the other sub
stances, although they may be harmless, con
sidering their use from an economic point Of
view, nothing is made in buying coffee which
contains them, even If the price Of the mix
ture be much under that demanded for the
pure article. This IL evident when 1t is known
that not infrequently what passes for low
price coffee contains at least 90 per cent adul-
teration. In buying coffee the pure is actu-
ally the cheapest And in the matter Of adul-
teration of this important article Of food
there Is a weighty consideration beyond that
Of economy. The more good, pure coffee
there Is obtainable the less win be the demand
for spirituous liquors, for even the yeriest
topper win often choose the former in prefer
ence to the latter. Boston Herald
