A curious coincidence happened IN one OF
Raa parts of the supreme court the other
lay while jury was being impaneled to
ry case. The clerk gave the wheel in
shich the names OF the jurors had been
slaced whirl and then pulled out card.
John Smith," he called cut, and i'm
mediately two men started toward the jury
box.
This caused no establishment, because
With the iunumerable John Smiths in the
directory it was not much wonder that two
of them had been summoned for the same
Jury. The card had the address of the
tohn Smith intended, SO this little diff
,ulty was Strengthened out easily enough.
Then the clerk called out, George
Rogers"
This time no less than four men respond
ed to the name When the right George
Rogers had been selected from the quartet
the clerk reached in once more and pulled
put another card. This time there were
actually six men who responded TO the
name John Brown.
After the John Brown identified by his
address on the card had been selected, the
work of completing the jury proceeded for
few minutes until eleven men had been
secured Then the clerk pulled out one
more slip to complete the jury.
Jacob Levy" the clerk called.
Tt seemed as if every man in the court
room arose in response to this name. The
clerk counted them and there was just an
even dozen Jacob Levy's who had been
summoned to serve on that jury. The
right one was picked out and took his place
n the box, his honor renarking that all
lhe labor of securing the jury one at
time might have been avoided if the clerk
had only CHANGED to pick out Mr.. LEWIS
name first-New York Tribune.

and medically for the treatment OF exter-

this is the only peanut market in the
world Smyrna has its figs, Barbary its

CHRIST. THE SAVIOR.
An Ancient Description From the
Pen Of Pagan Writer.

rem OF q faGan writer.
The following is an exact copy of a
document which is said to have been
found among the ancient manuscripts
sent by Publius Lentulus, president of
Judea, to the Roman senate:
''There lives at this time in Judea a
man of singular character, whose name
is Jesus Christ. The barbarianS esteem
Him as a prophet, but His followers
adore Him as the immediate offspring
of God. He is endowed with such un-
paralleled virtues as to be able to call
back the dead from their graves and to
heal every sort of disease with word
or touch. His person is tall and ele-
gantly shaped, His aspect amiable and
reverend.
His hair falls in those beautiful
shades which no united coors can
match. dropping in graceful curls be-
low the ears, agreeaDly touching the
shoulders and parting on the crown,
like the head dress OF sect called the
NazariteS.
Ills forehead is smooth and his
cheeks without a spot. His nose and
mouth are formed with exquisite SYM
metry. His beard is thick and suited to
the hair OF his head. reaching to little
below the chin, where it parts in FORK
His eyes ale bright, clear and serene.
He rebukes with majesty and counsels
with persuasive languagre; His whole
address, whether in word or deed,
being grave and strictly characteristic
of SO exalted a being. No man has
ever seen Him laugh but all Judea have
frequently beheld Him weep.
"When he pleads his tears are so per-
suaSive that the multitudes are unable
to restrain theirs from mingling with
his. He is very modest, temperate and
wise. Whatever this phenomenon NAV
be in the END, He now seems to be man
of strange beauty and divine perfection,
in every way SURPRISING the children OF

and uSherS. Then come pages with a
list of the gifts: then fiuttering bits OF
dainty teXtures--the bridesmaids
gowns; and other more sober ones-the
members of the family wore these.
Notes of the journey follow, intensely
practical details, very accurate as to dis
tanceS and times of the arriving and de-
parture of trains, and these are followed
by congratulatory messages and press
notices..
All these pages are exquisltely deco

tange of merry wedding bells, and
across one corner of the invitation is
flung bar of Mendelssohn's '..Wed-
ding March," A quantity lettered scroll
precedes the list of gifts, with this state
ment:
These, with love, the best gift Of all.

A sample Of her street gown is ush-

In this suit she takes her walks,
Stopping for friendly little talks.

A full-blown rose and a depressed
thermometer give point to the next
couplet:
In this. when the weather colder grows
She looks like the sweetest summer rose.

"Finis," is also adorned by a bell

the preparation of series of views Of
