A Woman Jury's Verdict.

A case of women doing jury duty is re- corded in the annals of old New bury mofe than goo years ago. A certain Elizabeth Hunt of that town having in 1893 died uR der mysterious circumstances and runofs of foul play being circulated it was deendd wise to have an investigation, and july of 12 women was impanelcd, who vicwqd the remains and after duo deliberation re- turned tho following verdict, doubtless cor rect with tho exception of the spelling;
 We judge, according to our best light and contients, that tho death of said Elizh- beth was not by any violcns or wrong dun to her by any parson or thing, but by sonIc sodon stopping of her breath. '"
 Tho common habit at that time of pro nouncing CT after tho British fashion--Gs clark for clerk, Darby for Derby-no doubt prevented any parson |" of the place, all of whom were pious and excellent gentle men, from finding personal innueudo in a decision otherwise rather startling.

Strong and Gentle.

Emperor William I of Germany pos sessed an iron will and at the same time had great gift of popularity-a most happy combination for ruler At tho close of the French war he dictated to his private secretary an address which he in- tended to deliver to tho German army. The final sentence ran thus:
 But do not forget that we must all bo grateful toward Providence, for Provi- dence has willed that we should bo the in- strument destined to accomplish what arc such great events in the history of the world.
 The secretary. having his own ideas, as even the secretaries of emperors and kings cannot help having, wrote, Providence has permitted. "
 "Stop," said the aged emperor. 'Do you imagine that could have supported the burden of this war if had not entertained the firm conviction that Providence willed it2 Write the word as I dictated it..
 With all this faith in himself-that is, in his divine commission-he preserved those simple and human qualities which in strong ruler never fail to win the favor and even the homage of the people, A young gardener was showing him over the grounds of his favorite retreat at BaDelSDerB. The emperor noulCeu unaG ono youth was embarrassed and seemingly pre- occupied and by and by demanded tho reason.
 "Your majesty said the boy, tin half an hour l am due at the barracks at Pots dam"
 That was enough. In few minutes the young soldier was in uniform, and tho emperor took him post haste in his own carriage to the drill ground.-Youth' s Companion.

ALoyer's Strategy,

That all is fair in love and war was re- gently exemplifled in the case of an up town young man, who had a falling out with his best girl, all on account of an- other fair charmer.
 Girl No. 1 heard of the existence of Girl No. and immediately became cool toward the unfortunate'youngm man. The swain in question was most anxious to be restored to tho good graces of his best girl, but all his advances met with frigid re- ception. For several days he was in de- spair, thoroughly convinced that there was no balm in Gilead Finally he hit upon a brilliant scheme. Inditing letter to Girl No. 9, in which he requested her to cease annoying him with her unwelcome attentions, he placed it in an envelope and carefully addressed it to Girl No. 1. The next day he sent her telegram saying that he had made nlistake placing two letters in their envcl =, and that she had probably received letter not in- tended for her Would she please return it?
 The scheme worked liko charm. The foxy episte was returned with q very gracious note, and now everything is nov ing along smoothly once more. .-Philadcl- phia Record.

A Sllrewd Poet.

There is story told of poor Greek poet who lived in Rome at the time of tho Emperor Augustus. It shows us that wit often succeeds where merit fails.
 The poet was anxious to gain favor with the emperor. Every morning he waited at the palace door, and as the emperor passed out the poet presented him with a verse or an epigram that he had composed The emperor accepted the poetry, but nev; CT paid the poet anything. Indeed his presumption rather amused the emperor, and being one day in merry humor he wrote verso himself and handed it grave. ly to the poet, who waited for him as usual at the gate.
 The poet, with ready wit, pulled out his purse and cmptied the two or threo cop pers it contained into tho emperor's hand.
 "Ah," cried he, 'thore should be more, but give you my ability! If l were as rich as you, great Caesar, would pay much greater prico for verses. '
 And it is pleasant to be told that the emperor thought the joke worth 1000 crowns-Bow Bells.

"LIoHTs OF THE HAREM."
They Rap Two American Tourists Over tho
 Head With Pohers.


 Head With Pokers.
 Whilo the two Americans Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben, who made bicycle tour around the world, were in Aradan, Persia, a present. from the village khan was an- nounoed. In stepped two men bearing Q huge tray filled with melons, apricots, sug- ar, rock candy, nuts, pistachios, etc., all of which we must of course, turn over to the khan keeper and his servants, and pay double their value to the bearers as d pres- ent.
 This polite method of extortion was fol- lowed the next morning by one of bolder and more peremptory nature. Notwith- standing the feast of the night before at our expense, and in addition to furnishing us with bedclothes which we really ought to have been paid to sleep in, our oily host now insisted upon three or four prices for his lodgings Wo refused to pay him more than a certain sum and started to vacate the premises. Thereupon he and his grown son caught hold of our bicycles Remon- strances proving of no avail, and being unable to force our passage through the narrow doorway with the bicycles in our hands, WIG dropped them and grappled with our antagonists. A noisy scuf1le, and then heavy fall ensued but luckily we were both on the upper side.
 This unusual disturbance now brought out the inmates of the adjoining anderoon.
 In moment there was din of femi- nine screams and flutter of garments, and then-a crashing of our pith helmets beneath the blows of pokers and andirons. The villagers thus aroused came at last to our rescue, and at once proceeded to patch up compromise This, in view of the amazonian ro-enforcements, who were standing by in readiness for second onset, we were more than pleased to accept From this inglorious combat we came off without serious injury, but with those gentle poker taps were knocked out for ever all the sweet delusions of the Light of the Harem. .'-Century

STRANGE SELF DECEIT.
What Morbid Love For the Sensational
 May Sometimes Accomplish.


 May Sometimes Accomplish.
 A morbid love of the sensational some times leads young people, more especially young womtn, into strange paths. Many extraordinary instances are on record of the singular manner in which they have imposed upon relatives and friends, repre- senting themselves as suffering from baffling malady in some cases; in others as tho victims of injustice or persecution.
 A case of the latter kind was that of tho Canadian girl said to be persecutcd by the receipt of scurrilous anonymous let ters. The whole population was reused into sympathy and Indignation, and she herself was driven finally into her grave, amid tho lamentations of tho community, by her malevolent and undiscoverablo ac- cuser Afterward an examination of her papers and letters revealed the fact that she herself had been the unknown writer It would seem remarkable that one should be one's enemy to such an extent as to commit suicide by self persecution in this manner. Yet psychologists know that such cases arc not infrcquent
 A recent illustration of that is afforded by tho story of a spinster millincr, who not only wrote herself presenting lettcrs but actually set fire and destroyed someo of her personal cllGCCS III neF llutlo SnOp III order to satisfy her morbid craving for the sympathy and attention of tho communi- ty in which she lived.
 Some years ago Portsmouth was treated to rather more striking example of ca price when D young woman of good fam fly carried out for ycar or two most OK traordinary system of deception. She as serted that while travelling she had become acquainted with q young American of enormous wealth. They became attached to each other, corrcsponded and were en- gagged. Every week or so she received let tors and cablegrams from her imaginary lover, and these sic would read to ard talk over with her many friends. Tho wedding day was actually set when a ca blegram announced the death of her cx- pectcd swain Tho bride seemed ovcr- whclmcd with grief, but her friends be- came suspicious, and an investigation, quietly carried on, revealed the fact that tho letters and messages originated with her self, and no lover had ever existed. burg Dispatch

Inge is black and buff I should think you would know the color of the dog Charlie gave you. What's the color of the dogP" repeated the liccnser, with pcrceptible hardness of voice.
 Well, Mamie if you know all about Ingo perhaps you'd better tell it. We'll never get license if you keep interrupt- ing tho man. Ingo is brown and white and is just as handsome as he can be-

PETER THE GREAT.
History Shows That the old Ruler of Rus
 sia Was 8 Monster.

Sia wa a M OnSbefs
 Years ago, when low standard of nor. als prevailed, the epithet great was be- slowed upon any monarch who won bat ties and enlarged the territory and re- sources of his kingdom. It mattered little then to the historian what might be kings private character provided he made his nation formidable by it's brute strength and full treasury. Even if he was bad man, they eulogized him as good ruler. Peter I of Russia is called Peter the Great, because he transformed barba- rous into semibarbarous nation. But no one can now read the following summary of his character without feeling of dis gust. Voltaire, in his Philosophical Die tionary,' says that Peter was half hero and half tiger" Macaulay declares that ito the end of his life he lived in his pal acc like hog i'll sty, and when he was entertained by other sovereigns never failed to leave unequivocal proof that savage had been thcro"
 Peter, when the fit was on him, literally cancd every ybody-from his cook to his counselor, from the meanest peasant to the highest nob!c-sparing neither age nor sex. He would get up from the table and flog the host who was entertaining him. He would stand at the door of tho senate house and fog each senator that went in Lefort was an intimate and trusted friend, yet on slight provocation he was knocked down and brutally kicked by his imperial master But all this fogging was in the way of recreation. When Peter meant business" it was more serious matter Incredible as it may seem, it is nevertheless well authenticated that one of his own sisters-it is said more than one-received 100 strokes of the whip on her back in tho presence of the whole court
 In 1713 Alexis, his only son who out lived infancy, was for some offcnse of no great seriousness several times tortured in the presence of the diabolical father and in tho end died either from tho effect of the torture or by assassination. For sym pathizing with Alexis the Princess Golit- syn, the bosom companion of the Empress Catherine was publicly whipped by sol diers For the same reason the brother of his first wife, Eudoxia-whom he had thrown into prison-was tortured and then torn in pieces on the wheel. Nothing ever told of Nero is moro horribly gro tesque than this, yet this man. or monster rather, is paraded before tho world as Peter the Great. Pittsburg Dispatch

The Seals Sense of Smell.

The sense of smell possessed by the seals is very strong and will invariably wake them out of sound sleep, even if you come upon them ever so quietly to the windward, and you will alarm them in this way much more thoroughly, though you be half mile distant, than if you came up carclessly from the leeward and even walked ill among them, they seeming to feel that you arc not different from one of their own species until they smell you. The chief attraction ill these animals is their large, handsome eyes, which indicate great intelligence, They are deep bluish black, with a soft glistening appearance, aud the pupil, like the cats, is capable of great dilation and contraction.

An Art In Which Great Scholars Are Not
 Usually Proficient.

Usually Hroicfent.
 Conversation is as much of an art as it is an accomplishment. It has been noted that in America we have plenty of takers, but few convcrsationists. To converse well intelligence, backed up with n fair knowledge of men and things, is the first requisite. Our greatest scholars arc far from being our best conversatioDists. Neither are they, as a rule, good public speakers.
 Tho most noted English conversations ist was tho celebrated Dr, Johnson, of whom Macaulay, tho English historian, said, "The influence exercised by his con versation was altogether without par allel" As Dr Johnson was a man of eminent learning, our readers may think we have been too fast in saying that great scholars arc not often good conversation. ists ~
 Johnson is said to hnvo made sharp distinction between talk and conversation, and when speaking of an evening spent in society he oncc remarked, 'Thcro was plenty of talk, but no conversation. Hc was ono of class of great literary men, liko Addison and Steele who seem to havo gore out of existence with the last cen tury. In thcso days mon of genius drift into certain narrow channels. They con centrate their thoughts on some special object and make that the study of a life time.
 Tho result of applying all ono's mental powers to one hobby has it's advantages, for the subject treated is cxhaustively studied, every phase of it becomes under stood, and many new and often valuable discoveries arc brought to light and use. When WIG say that our greatest men arc not good conycrsationists, we mean, therefore, tkc great men of the present century, al n:ost,all of whom arc bound up in sore special work, ard we except journalists of ability, from tho fact that it is their duty to know everything in thccstiniation of the people.
