Fancy Work on the Piazza.

The summer resort piazza Is the home
of fancy work. If many worstcds are
used. as they are pretty sure to be. a
good plan Is to tie the ends left over in
lengths Of half yard and make ball
Of them exactly as was once done in
the country, in preparing rags for rag
carpets. They can then be crocheted
in shell stitch into narrow stripes for
an Afghan, alternating with black when
1t is put together The effect is bizarre
but very pleasing, like a group of bright
hued butterflies. and the expense Is
trifing. although an afghan is generally
considered rather a luxury.

The very latest thing in hammocks Is
digniied by a name. 1t is called the

kindly hides any defects of position that

knowledge of its awkward appearance,
which to one sensitive to appearances
would be a serious drawback. The val

A GRAND JURY's DUTY.

Grand juries are having n hard time
Just now. In one place they are assail-
ed ,cause they do not indict. in an
other, because they do indict. Here
they are instructed that so long as they
believe an of1ense has been committed
they must find indictments against the
suspected parties, and leave all uucs-
ticns of legal power and of proof To be
settled by the courts. There they are In
structed that whatever the evidence
before them they must not indict # any
question OF legality Is interposed
The Grand Jury OF Jersey city came
into court yesterday without presenting
any Indictments against alleged lutter"
dealers. Judge Lippincott. who had
charged them to inquire into this Of
fcnse against the laws, thercupon read
them Il severe lecture, ana sent them
back 30 iind indictments, handing them
u paper which he said contained II com
pilatiOn OF evidence within their reach.
and on which 1t was their duty to in
dict the parties implicated.
The remarks of Judge Lippinco.t on the
examination of witnesses before the
Grand Jury are of interest at this time,
when the question of how much or how
littlc OF the testimony given before the
Brooklyn Grand Jury against Mayor
Buody and the "cold thirteen" Aldermen
who passed the street railroad franchise
resolutions shall be published Is being
discussed. The Judge says:
When witness Is before the Grand Jury he
should 10 allowed TO state his facts fully and he
should also he subject to u full examination Us
10 facts within his knowledge. There are two
clGssos of examination to which witness may
lie subjected one winch draws bnt meapre facts
from him, the other which draws from him all
the knowledge ho Possesses. 1t IL the latter
which the Grand Jury should make. Every wit.
ness should bc permitted to state fully all facts

and more comprehensive than legal

that requires You to diligently inquire

'ltions OF law without execution; thut
