HURRYlNG UP JURIES.
Why Verdicts in District Courts Are Rem
dered without Delay.

Give a jury of six or twelve restful
men comfortable, well lighted and
cool room, plenty of tobacco and ice
water, and there is nothing by which
the Judge or the counsel on either side
can guage the time of deliberation.
Under such circumstances, saws the
Newark Sunday Call, juries have been
known to remain out twelve hours on
a case involving one dollar and forty
nine cents and then come in with a
disagreement. There is such a thing,
however, as forcing speedy verdict
by making the retiring room uncom-
Portable. Freezing the jury is said to
have been practiced with success in
Minnesota, where the counsel for the
defense saw the janitor, and it is
just possible that windows have been
mailed down to stew a jury into hasty
action in warmer climates
No such precaution is necessary in
the new quarters of the district courts
in this city. The jury-room is mar,
row apartment, situated directly over
the boiler room, with one window
opening upon a narrow and breath
less alley, thanked by the dead wall of
the next building. 1t has not been in
sinuated that any lawyer has encour-
aged the engineer to put on extra
steam when a jury was celebrating
over a case but it is said that of late no
jury has taken more than five minutes
TO fry the fat out of any case which
has required discussion in this room.
1t is used by both courts, and is the
only apartment accessible. OF course,
the doors must be shut when the jury
as celebrating, and then the window
does not admit the smallest of the
zephyrs which may by accident have
found playground in the alleyway.
1T Is said that one lawyer announced
ms Intention of appealing a case be-
cause the jury found verdict four
minutes after the doors were closed.
one of the jurors says, however, that
There was heated discussion over the
case during the short time the jury
was ont

A sad Accident at Hempstead.

A sad accident accident recently oc-
Cured at Hampstead. A negro boy
was driving pair of horses belonging
to Mr.. Claude Lauraine, whose 5-year-
old boy was along to enjoy a ride in
the beautiful atmosphere. The horses
took fright and the little boy was forci-
bly, thrown out upon some hard object.
me Skull was fractured, the upper lip
badly cut and the nose broken. The
boy was taken to the city as soon as it
was possible to do so, but the attend
ing physician says the boys chances to
recover are very slim.

nNCUAGE MADE BY WOMEN.

Ordinarily Thought

Ordinarily Thought
The influence of woman on the Ian.
cuage of each generation is much
greater than that of men, says Max
Nlullerin Science of Language.
We very properly call our LANGUAGE
IN Germany our mother tongue. with
MI its peculiarties, faults, idioms. ac-
cents. Cicero said:
at makes great difference whom
we hear at home every day and with
whom we speak as boys, and how orr
fathers, our tutors and our mothers
sneak. We read the letters of Cornelia
the mother of the Gracchi, and if is
clear from them that her sons were
brought up not in the lap, but, SO to say.
In the very breath and speech of their
mother"
But this is not all. Dante ascribes
the frs attempts at using the vulrar
tongue in Italy for literary compost
tions to he silent influence of ladies
who did not understand the Latin lam
guage.
Now this vulgar Italian, before il
became the literary language of Italy
Hrld very nuCH tlic same position there
as the so-called Prallrit dialects in In
dia and these Prakrit dialects first as
sumed a literary position in the Sans
krit plays where female characters.
both high and low, are introduced as
Trakrit. instead of the Sansllrit en-
ploycd by kings, noblemen and priests.
Here, then, we see the language of
women, or, if not of women exclusive
~, at all events of women and domes-
tic servants, gradually entering into
the literary idiom, and in later times
even suppanting it altogether; for it
is from the Prakrit, and not from the
literary Sansllrit, that the modern
vernaculars of India branched off in
course of time.
Through thousand smaller chan
nels the idioms of women everywhere
find admission into the domestic con-
wersation of the whole family and into
the public speeches of their assem-
blies. The greater the ascendency of
the female element in society the
greater the influence of their language
on the language of II family or clan,
q village or town.

Apportionment of the state school Fund

The state board of education at Aus
tin apportioned the available school
fund on hand December to the schools
on basis of Is cents per capita of the
scholastic population. lnasmuch as the
treasurer statement OF balances on
hand would have authorized 2O-cent
per capita distribution, some of the
school teachers, who are compelled to
wait for their pay, are asking for an
explanation at the department of edu-
cation. The explanation is offered that
on the LIST there were outstanding war
rants for last months pay which must
be paid out of the balance on hand De-
cember 1, reducing it to the - cents

THE SICILIAN PEASANT.
Some of the Peculiarities of His
Daily Life.
National Review.


In some parts of the island the advent of
e baby girl is looked upon as sucn mis-
fortune that small black flag is hung out
Of the window to proclaim the sad event.
The reason is not far to seek. Having to be
maintained by the household as long as
they are unmarried, and having to dover
their bridegrooms with dot" girls are
improbable. Boys, on the other hand, are
sooD self-supportlng. and they increase the
family wealth when the time comes to
bring home a wife by the amount of the
young lady's fortune. Nevertheless, the
girls, although kept in such strict secluson
that one hardly ever meets them walking
about, are said to be kindly treated. AT
the age Of fifteen or sixteen they are dis
posed of in marriage according to an ar
rangement, purely financial, between the
families concerned.
Judging by appearance one would think
that the Sicillan peasantry are in the last
stage of poverty. That is to great extent
the case. but one must not be altogether
guided by outward signs, for however well
off they may be they seldom make any
change in their way OF living They all live
by preference in the towns. Even those
that are employed 10 the country during the
week build mud novels for that time and
flock back to the towns on Saturdays.
The women have no national dress and no
distinctive characteristic beyond the love OF
bright colOrs, which seems Unborn in all
southern natures. The men, on the con-
trary. are picturesquely clad in black and
white-blaek trousers to the knee, slit some
twelve inches up the outside seam, to let out
u bullying white under garment, sheepskin
leggins strapped on with thongs and mecca
sins; white shirt. open at the neck, with
full white slseves gathered in at the wrist
and over this a black sleeveless vest; a
black cloth cap hanging over the car. The
time honored superstition Of the Evil Eye'
is still so widely spread throughout the
island, even among the upper classes, that
no one who does not wear a charm is con-
sidarPd safe.
