The diet of hotels, consisting of rich
meats and desserts in great variety, is usu-
ally different from the average food OF the
average jurymen, particularly of the work
ing class. The result is always overeating
and underexercise. This alone would
quickly break up or disorder the mental
activities. In addition to this the confine-
ment in the bad air of courtrooms brings
new sources of poisoning, particularly de-
ficient oxidation, which OF itself Is suffi-
cient to derange the normal brain func-
tions. The crowded rooms at hotels are
either overheated and badly ventilated or
cold and noisy. The time for retiring and
rising varies, and the usual habits OF the
juryman are changed In every respect. His
accustomed food sleep and exercise, and
his manner of thinking and the subject of
his thoughts, all are broken up.
He is asked to follow an intricate chain
Of reasoning and discriminate the errors
and told that this is true and that Is true
and that the law should lead him to some
other point He is fattered, and his pride
Is reused to do the best he can. He grows
more incapacitated daily rs the evidence
accumulates and his system becomes de-
ranged. Then in despair he will suddenly
form some conclusion, guided by fancy
for some attorney or some remark by the
judge. D. Crothers, NJ. d., in Popular
Science Monthly.

1t is difficult to say what is the correct
pronunciation Of word which comes to
us from the Arabic through the medium
OF the French. But is IL certainty that
Littre's suggestion that "calibre" Is from
the Arabic kalib, form, mold, Is cor
rectf Used In its technical senses the Gus
tomary pronunciation Is undoubtedly cal
ibre. Employed in its fguratiye meaning
with regard 70 the compass Of the mind,
one still occasionally hears the French
sound. The Imperial ard the Encyclo-
padic dictionaries give only caliber.
Walker, while accentuating the word In
the same way, observes:
MIR. Sheridan accents this word on the
second syllable and gives the | the sound
Of double e, like the French, but johnson,
Kanrick, Ash, Buchanan. Perry and En-
tick consider the word as perfectly angli-
cized and place the accent on the first syl-
liable as have done. Notes and Queries.

A MODERN OPERA STAGE.
Built In Many sections Which Can He
Moved Separately.


Moved Separately.
"They talk a good deal about the stage
Of the Auditorium in Chicago" said Neil
McGieghan, the carpenter at the Metro
politan Opera House. They call that 4
sectional stage but they can't do with 1,
what we can do with this Why, if they
want to lit N any para of the stage, they
have got to lin up whole section, clear
ACROSS. They can raise it up on q level,
or they can tilt up one end or the other
to make an incline, but they can't lift less
than whole section. Now, il we want
to represent broken ground or rocks or
anything of that sort here, we can break up
the whole back part of the stage in any
way we like We do it, for instance, in
the second act of ,Die walkure,
These sections and sections of sections
are really useful things tor building noun,
tains, platforms, bridges, stairs, terraces,
galleries and, in general, whatever is need
ed to diversity the scene or to give stand.
ing room for picturesque groupings of the
chorus. The stage is like chess board,
every square of which can be moved indie
pendently of the others. And 1t Is So easy
to move them that they seem almost to
move themselves. 1t is just like the rope
with the we'll bucket on each end. Up
comes the stage and down goes the counter
weight. Then pegs are stuck into the sup
porting frame to hold it in place, and there
is bank of river or deck of ship or
a tableland rs finn as any part of the stage.
Now, see our new arrangement for Sc
curing scenery" said Mr.. McGieghan.
He reaches down and gently pulls at some
thing and up comes post about inches
square. Having counterweight like
everything else on the stage, it stops just
where it is wanted and is strong and firm,
without being heavy, 1t has hook at the
top of it to go over the top Of piece OF
scenery and hold 1t securely in place 1t
is much quicker to work and frmer to
hold than the old fashioned props that
were braced behind the scenes and secured
to the floor, though these are still used in
some parts of the stage that are not fitted
with the movable posts. You cannot have
everything everywhere. New York Trib.

SILVER AND PRICES.


Wages, lndnstriais and Farm Products Adj
vance While silver Declines.
We venture to put in the form Of a
brief table some facts given by The
Financial Chronicle as to the connection
between tho price of silver and the
prices Of staple commodities. They
make nm effective answer to tho constant
assertion of the silver inflationists that
''low" silver gave the low values TO all
products and that there could be no rc-
covery except through higher prices for
silver:
Price OF April |, June H.
Silver .,..,....,,,.,.......,...u"0 s'sc, G..e
Cotton. ,.........,,..,,..t,.....,. blao, To-
Wheat ...,..,.......,.,........,,. 6Olae. &c.
II will be seen that, while there was
no material change In silver and what
change there was was slightly down
ward, cotton advanced little over 10
per cent and wheut little over 80 per
cent
These changes, as we all know, have
been accompanied by Increased activity
in trade and manufactures and An ad-
vance In wages. So that we have, ~
The Chronicle aptly remarks. very
substantial gains to the factory, to tho
foundry, to the wage Garner and to tho

Mending Grain Sacks.

Mending the holes in grain sacks is
task that the farmers wife dislikes;
hence the holes gnawed by mice and
rats are often stopped with a corncob
or the sacks are thrown away. But
here is plan suggested by American
Agriculturist that proves to be what
every farmer needs. The articles needed
for mending grain sacks are an old sack
that may be cut up for pieces, batter
made of flour and cold water, hot
fatiron and an ironing board to fit in
side the sacks. Place the board in a
sack, with the hole to be mended on the
upper side. Trim away the raveled edges
with the shears or sharp knife. Cut
out patch having at least an inch mar
gin larger than the hole. On this mar
gin apply coat Of the -four paste, place
the patch in position and press it thor
oughly with the hot fatiron. The bat
ter penetrates both patch and sack
and very firmly unites them. Pieces
of denim, ducking or other stout mate
rial may be used where bagging is not
available The process is so rapid that
100 sacks may soon be repaired. Car
pets may be neatly mended in the same
manner without removing them from
the floor.
