while in his cups to threaten to ''do" some
woman who had robbed him. But for once

it being proven that at the time of the
murder Sadler was so ''full" he could
move neither hand nor foot So the bibu-

The materials used in making the barrels
are waste paper, cardboard, and, for the
better quality, Old sacks. When cardboard
is used it is soaked or boiled for six hours,
and afterward treated in the same manner
as the other raw material This il carefully
sorted and put into rag engine or beaser,
where it is beaten and torn to pieces by a
series of knives for about an hour and q
half It is afterwArd mixed with water
until pulp of uniform consistency is
gained.
This is rolled, joined, shaped and dried,
and the barrel is finally covered with hoops.
Before the tops and bottoms are put in the
barrels are painted with a waterproof COM
position made Of linseed oil and resin, for
ordinary purpose barrels, and with special
varnish where they are used for food prod
ucts. The standard size is 1917 inches IN
diameter by % inches long. The price at
which these barrels can be produced en-
ables them to compete favorably with
wooden barrels; a barrel costing thirty four
cents in wood can, when made Of paper, be
sold for twenty-eight cents. One great
feature is that there is no waste with the
process, all MASTERS" being beaten up into

FRENCH JURY SYSTEM.
Wherein 1t Is Like the English Practice
and Its Minor Differences.


| and Its Minor Differences.
To be eligible for the jury it is necessary
to he French citizen, not less than so
years of age, to enjoy all the political and
civil rights, and to know how to read and
write; but, by exception, neither magis-
trates nor government functionaries, nor
saiared domestic servants are eligible.
Men of 20 years of age are dispensed with,
as also those whose labor is necessary for
their daily bread or those who have served
| as Jurymen during the current or previous
year.
Every year list of eligible jurymen is
| drawn up by the government authorities.
Three thousand are chosen for the depart
ment of the Seine; in all others the proper
| ton Is that of one to every 500 inha bitants:
but fixed residence is necessary to be eligi-
bic. Ten days before the opening of the
sessions of the assises. or assizes, the names
| of thirty-six jurymen are drawn by ballot
out of the annual list, with the addition of
four supplementary jurymen, to serve dur
ing the session, which lasts fortnight. AS
IN England, twelve men make up the jury,

how female members of royal families dress
when in mourning. The style for all the
sovereign houses of Europe is said to be
uniform, and London Truth describes the
gown sent to the Grand Duchess Elizabeth
after the death of Prince Baldwin of Bel

has demi-train, over which comes the
tight corsage well in a point to keep COM

high, and the tight sleeves are half hidden

Bearded the Lion.


Forepaugh's travelling circus and men,
agerie had been ditched by a railroad
accident on q road in Tennessee, and one
of the lions had escaped from his broken
cage and sought shelter in a log COW pen
near at hand. Our train was following
the circus and had come to a stop, and
most Of the passengers went forward to
lend the Snowman helping hand. The
hon was the only animal which got away,
and the men were calling for nets and
ropes and volunteers, when q lanky,
angular native who hadn't had his hair
cut in year, and who was riding a
mule even more homely than himself,
reached the highway crossing and dis
mounted.
"Who's alying!" he demanded as he
heard the men calling to each other.
"a lion has escaped!' replied one.
"Oh, that's it? Whar's he gomez

Seems like good deal of fussing
over one lion. Lemme see what him do"
He unbuckled the hitching strap from
his bride and coolly walked into the
barn, and half q minute later he came
out leading the beast and saying:
"Tried to skeer me by growing and
showing his old, yaller teeth, but found
it wouldn't work. Here he is, and now

One of the shoWmen told ma that he
wouldn't have gone into the shed after
the beast if reward of 81 900 had been
offered for SO doing. The manager gave
the native SO bill for his pluck, and as
the man mounted his mule to ride on he
took another look at the money and said:
