KIND OF JURORS Preferred.

KIND OF JURORS Preferred
Criminal court lawyers always like
to have their cases on the first two
or three days of the term il possible.
The reason is that the jurors in
many instances are fresh and green
at the work of listening to evidence,
and invariably show more sympathy
for the persons on trial than they
have after they have sat for couple
of weeks.
Jurors in the general sessions
court are chosen to try cases for a
month. Every term there are al
ways some who have never been in
court before, while of course others
have had plenty of experience and
are adamantine. So the yonng
lawyer at the beginning Of the
month dwells on the sympathetic
side of his case and resorts to all
tricks, such as bringing the weeping
wife into court, and tells the juries
of the terrible results of a term in
state prison.-New York Times.

HoT WATER.-Headache almost
always yields to the simultaneous
application of hot water to the feet
and back of the neck.
A towel folded, dipped in hot
water, wrung out rapidly and ap-
piled to the stomach, acts like
magic in case of collie.
There is nothing that so prompt
ly cuts short congestion of the
lungs, sore throat and rheumatism,
as hot water, when applied prompt
ly and thoroughly.
A towel folded several times, and
dipped in hot water and quickly
wrung out and applied over the
toothache or neuralgia, viii gen.
orally afford prompt relief.
A strip of flannel, or napkin fold
ed lengthwise and dipped in hot
water and wrung ont and then APP
piled around the neck of q child
that has the Group, will sometimes
bring relief in ten minutes.
Hot water taken freely half an
hour before bed time is helpful in
constipation.

KRgprrG THEM FROM THE TRAp.

KEEPING THEN FROM THE TRAP.
"A gentleman living in subur-
ban town near New York not long
ago found himself much annoyed
by family Of mice who lived be-
hind walls Of his room, and had
cut a door through for their own
use. Not only did their scamper-
ing about and their gnawing dis
turb his sleep, but they nibbled
holes in his clothes, made free with
his provisions, visited the canary in
its cage and ate mp its seed, and in
many ways made themselves disa-
greeable.
At last he bethought him of q
trap, which he at once procured
and placed near the mouse door.
The first night he caught q mouse,
the second another, and so it went
on till he had disposed of five of
the enemy. Then several days
passed without his catching any,
though he still heard them frollick-
ing within the walls.
He examined the mcnse door in
his Dashboard, and to his surprise
found it tightly closed. Being
curious about this he pulled the
filling out--with difficulty, for it
was put in to stay-and found it to
consist of bits of plaster and other
rubbish. He left the hole open,
but the next night it was again
filed up. He repeated his clearing
out, and again it was closed.
Five times in this way did he
undo the work of the poor little
mouse mamma, who undoubtedly
filed it up to prevent her little ones
from venturing through what had
proved a fatal gate for so many.
At last the poor creature, seeing
that her efforts to protect her child
rem were in vain, decided to remove
them from temptation, and they
were heard no more.-Youth's Com
panion.
