To study your lessons an work hard an learn

Remember the story of Elihu Burritt,

Jane Jones she honestly said 1t was so.
Mebbe he did. / dunno.
Course, what's a-keepin me way from the top
Is not never havin no blacksmithin shop.
She said AT Ben Franklin was awfully poor,
But full o. ambition an brains,

An see what he got for his pains.
He brought electricity out of the sky
With kite an the lightnin an key.
So we're OWN him more'n any one else
For all the bright lights at we see.
Jane Jones she actually said it was so.
Mebbe he did. dunno.
Course, what's alters been hinderin mo
Is not havin any kite, lightnin or key.

When he first thought up his big schsme.

Mixed ,Duries.

1t seems to me that in most cases the
perfect jury would be one made up of
men and women in equal numbers. The
fundamental idea OF the jury is that it
affords good average opinion on the
case before it, and that this average is
more likely to approximate justice than
the decision of any number of legal ex-
perts. In view of the admitted differ
ences between the mental operations of
men and women, would not the intro
duction of the latter into the jury box
give a juster average of human senti-
ment than is secured under the present
system? There is another consideration.
less important in theory, but probably OF
great practical value. Hunger and thirst
and impotence of confinement often
drive the masculine jury to decisions
which must cause the goddess of the
bandaged eyes to shed copious tears be-
hind the voluminous folds which secure
her impartiality. By her established in
difference to creature comforts woman
would raise the moral tone of juries and
compel decisions on abstract principles.
When protracted session was in pros
pect, she would first make up her mind
and then take out her embroidery and
wait for the other jurors to come around
to her position Fields Washing

That his services here would De Valu-
ahIs. But he did not like the preced-
eni and thought it would be oad anu
even dangerous. Some persons mere
might prefer to- have some one else
here, instead of Mr.. Thurston and be-
fore the Convention was through,
there might be half dozeu faVorites
Could one be admitted and the others
refused?
Mr.. Tenney thought no one appre-
ciated Mr. Thurston's services more
highly than himself but he could not
favor this motion. If this body want
ed Mr.. Thurstou's advice or thaC OF
the i'll !ges of the Supreme Court IL
could easily resolve itself into com
mittr. of the whole and then invite
Mr.. Thurston 10 attend. lie dlh not

Vice President Wilder was very
sorry that this resolution shouId ever

Thurston's services most hlghiy. II al
mot implied that the members OF the
Convention were incapable of perform
inc their duties. If the persons who
sent the re-olution wanted Mr.. Thurs
ton as much as they claimed, why
did they not nominate him To the
Council. That would have pleased
him heartily. He would like to see
him here, as he had the highest con-
ception of his abilities. He had been
with him in Washington at interviews
with the Secretary aud others, ana
had never SO fully realized his ability
before. But he did not approve this
fifth wheel without any vote.
G. L. Carter said the object of the
resolution was two-fold. 1t was partly
to secure his services for the Conven-
ton, and partly to tender compli-
ment to a distinguished citizen. 1t
was frequent for the United States
Senate to extend the freedom of the
floor to distinguished men. The ter
ritoriaI delegates were allowed both
the freedom of the floor and debate.
AS for the comparison with the police
mau, what had excluded him was
simply the lack of votes. Those who
objected to the precedent confused the
case with that of all ordinary session
of the Legislature, which was a very
different matter.
Minister Damon read the first Sec
ton of the Act creating the Conven
ton aud claimed il gave no authority
for the course proposed.

Mr.. Ables explained his vote. He
did not think the Convention had
authority to admit outsiders, though
he appreciated most highly the SER
vices of Mr.. Thurston.
Mr.. Allen took the same stand.

see Mr.. Thurston elected to the Ad-

factor in the middle and president of
one of the committees, both of which,
by the way, claim to be regular.
Mr.. Milholland is only about 81 years
old, but he has managed to crowd into
the last decade of his life an experience
such as few men twice his age can look
back upon Ee is a New Yorker and
was born in Essex county, in the heart
of the Adirondacks. When he was 8
years old, his fathers house was de-
stroyed by fire, and his mother and eld-
est sister were burned to death, the boy
himself narrowly escaping the same hor-
rible fate. When he was 8 years old, his
father took him to Ireland, and for two
years he attended school in that country
and England The rest of his education
he received in the Paterson and Albany
high schools and the New York univer-
sity.
For u number of years young Milhol-
land had contributed to the local press
An opportunity presented itself to buy
a country paper-the Ticonderoga Sem
tinel-and he became its editor and pro-
prietor In 10 months he doubled it's
size, circulation and advertising patron
age and sold it for three times what he
paid for it.
Then he went to New York city and
secured employment as reporter on the
New York Tribune, where he was soon
regarded as one of the best posted writ
ers in New York ON local, state and ma
tional politics. He made valuable ac-
quaintanceships among the Republican
leaders and formed warm friendship
for ex-senator Plat which has endured
the tests of many years On the creation
of the United States immigration bureau
at the port of New York Mr.. Milholland
was appointed chief of the inspectors
charged with the enforcement of the
contract labor law and got himself into
a good deal of hot water with some of
those interested in eyading the restric-
tons Of that act He was delegate to
the Republican national convention in
1892 and had charge of the labor depart
ment Of the Republican national COM
mittee during the subsequent campaign.

Vanity, selfishness and an ungovernabe
temper were the ruling traits of the
Countess. She lived on one branch of the
unique stree,car service which gladdens
the souls OF Santa Barbara's citizens. The
old lady was very fond OF riding on the
cars which pass up and down the road and
its branches three times an hour. AS she
was disinclined to adjust her trips to the
timetable, it follows that she made an eff
fort to adjust the timetable TO her own
convenience. Hence it often occurred tn at

Ii Hung Chang has been stripped of his
yellow jacket. He has lost his three-eyed
peacock feather, and the report has been
disseminated that he has been degraded
from his high position. Few people in
America realize how high his position was
and the wonderful pomp with which he
has been entertaining his friends at his
Vice-regal capital, 1ientsin. The crude
ideas that we have concerning the Chinese
make US think of them as ignorant,
poverty-strickeu and barbarous, and few
people realize the luXuries with which
some of them are surrounded. | cannot
better show the real state of the richer
classes in China than in describing a
banquet which | attended few months
ago in one OF Ii Hung Chang's palaces.
The dining-room was as large as that of the
White House, and it was gorgeOusy dec
grated with golden scrolls, Chinese pic
lures and bunting. The menu comprised
many courses and hundreds of dishes were
served during the feast The bird's-nest
soup for each guest cost venture, S5 a
plate, with shark fms that were worth
their weight in silver, and the Chinese
mobiles who sat with US were dressed III
silks and satns as costly as those worn at
with ivory chOpsticks tipped with silver.
The dinner was given in honor OF General
John W. Foster. our ex-Secretary OF
State, who was then on his way round the
globe, ard who was treated blythe Chinese
with the same honors which they ac-
corded to Secretary Seward and to General
Grant. The most striking of these favors
appeared in this banquet.
Chinese custom keeps woman in the
background. You seldom meet the wives
of the nobility, and at big dinners Chimes g
ladies are never invited and foreigners are
not expected to bring their wives. AS
soon as Secretary Foster arrived in Tien-
tsin Ii Hung Chang called upon him. He
was introduced during his visit to Mrs.

who were VITA Secretary Foster during his
tour of the world. The great V1ceroy was
charmed With the ladies, and when he spoke
of the banquet he said he would make
a great innovation in Chinese custom, and
would ask them to honor him with their
presence. o. course they accepted. and
the Viceroy took Mrs. Foster to the able
on his arm. The dinner was given at the
Admiralty Palace on the edge of Tientsin.
and this was decorated with thousands of
Chinese lanterns. and the gardens about il
were ablaze with light. All of the streets
leading to it shone with red paper lanterns.

with modern rifles, guarded the incoming
guests. During the feast, which lasted fol

wipe their lips with these and rub them
about over their faces in order to refresh
themselves between the courses. Lii Hung
Chang had two or three servants about
him all the time. and these assisted him in
eating and in keaping his dress straight
Both the Viceroy and all his Chinese
guests had their pipes aud cigarettes lit by
their servants for them. and inasmuch as
the food was served in little bits not larger
than an ivory dice, in order to be easily
grasped by the ivory chopsticks, they had
| little else TO do but swallow.
There were about fifty guests at the
table and both Chinese and foreign dishes
were used. BY my plate were knives and
forks as well as cbopsticks, and quite a
number of dishes on the bill of fare were
foreign. The dinner consisted of twenty
one courses. The menu was engraved in
letters of gold on a red card foot long
and about six inches wide. 1t was printed
