The IurY RchelIed.

An entire jury rebelled against the or
der Of Judge Seaman in the Federal Dis
trict Court at Chicago Wednesday, and
for time positively refused to obey or
ders. Eleven of the jurors afterwarl
yielded under protest, but the twelfth
man remained firm in his position which
he believed to be right, with the prosper
of Imprisonment for contempt of court as
his reward. The case on trial was That
Of Marie Cahill against the Chicago, NIL
waukee and ST. Paul Railroad. Miss
Cahill, 20 years old, was employed in the
label department of Libby, Mcneil 4
Libby at the stock yards. She was struck
by switch engine while crossing the
tracks, and was dragged under the
wheels. Her left foot was cut off. The
crew of the train saw the accident and
the engine stopped. The brakeman cut
out the train and, believing the engine
could be backed from over the young
woman, signaled the engineer. In back
ing away from the place the wheels cut
off the girls other foot and broke one of
her legs and her shoulder. The Judge
determined to grant non-suit on the
ground that there was no responsibility
attached TO the road, that the action of
the switch engine crew was not want0n
or willful, and that the plaintiff was a
trespasSer.

The Smart Cobra.

There is belief in India that GER.
tain of the corba carry about in their
mouths small shining stone which
they place in the grass after dark,
keeping careful guard over it by a
quick swaying to and fro of theii
dangerous heads. This was not be.
lieved for long time by Europeans,
until native pointed out to q well
known scientist the stone shining
from the midst of the grass, and the
cobra keeping guard overit.
The stone was secured by q clever
device on the part of the native and
given to the professor, who examined
it and found it to be semi-trans-
parent water-worn pebble of yellow
ish color, about the size of a large
pea, which in the dark when pre-.
viously warmed emitted greenish
phosphorescent light--a rare variety
OF fiuor spar.
The scientist gives the following
explanations of this curious behavior
on the part of the cobra The fe-
male FREELY sits on the grass and Q.
mits an intermittent glowing light,
as an attraction to the male firefiies,
that i'm consequence fly about her.
The cobra is particularly fond oil
fireflies, and uses the fiuor spar stone
as decoy for the males, and as the
males fly around the stone, which
they mistake for the female, the co
bra, by the rapid darting to and fro
of his neck, catches them and makes
a good dinner for himself,
The scientist explains that the
cobras made the discovery by acct
dent, as they noticed night after
night the fireflies lowered about the
the shining pebble.
Several snakes would then gather
and it required no great reasoning
powers for the cobra to learn that
the nearer it got to the stone the bet
ter chance would there be OF it's
catching fireflies, and so the law Of
competition would lead to the snakes
selling and carrying of the stone.
The habit thus slowly learned from
experience has become hereditary.

A GRAN BERRY BOG.
How the Berries Are Grown on Cape
Cod.


The men, women and children OF
Cape Cod, Mass, earn considerable
money every autumn by picking
cranberries in the boys. A large
portion of the cape is bog land.
which was practically worthless a
few years ago Thousands Of acres
have been reclaimed and extensive
cranberry Dogs constructed at cost
of from $3.50 to $500 acre.
There is now cranberry belt ex-
tending along the north shore Of Buzz
Yards Bay and the southern part OF
Cape Cod. This region has become
one of the greatest cranberry-growing
districts OF the world.
The cranberry growers make great
preparations for the small army OF
people which must be housed and fed
during the picking season. The &C.
commodations are rude and primi-
tive. Some of the pickers live in
board cabins, but most Of them dwell
in tents. 1t is curious and novel
sight to see several hundred pickers
in camp about the swamps.
The cranberry pickers are out in
the boys soon after daylight, and
they remain as long as they can see
berry, In large cranberry boys.
whore several hundred people are at
work, the pickers are divided into
companies, each company consisting
Of 120 persons. The company is in
charge of boss" who keeps ac-
count of the amount each picker
gathers during the day.
The bog is lined off into rows with
Irvine, and each picker has u strip
about three feet wide, which must be
picked clean. The pickers, men,
women and children of all ages, work
along the bog on their knees. The
berries are usually gathered from the
vines by hand, although q picking
machine is sometimes used. When
pickers are scarce the berries are
raked off with garden rake.
The pickers are paid by the meas
ure, which is broad 6-quart pail.
The price paid is from eight to
ten cents measure. The amounts
which pickers will gather in day
vary from $50 to $50 quarts Some
of the most expert workers, when the
yield is heavy, have been known to
garner sixty-five measures, or 300
quarts of cranberries in day.
There are always many boys and
girls in the boys picking berries, and
when they work together time flies
rapidly. After the days work is done
young couples are seen walking home
hand in hand The tots are carried
in fathers or mothers arms. The
cranberry season lasts about three
weeks, and when it is over the chill
dren are sent back to school and their
lessons. Many of them are sorry that
the vacation is at an end.

There is suffering among the Indians
on the Sisscton and Wahpeton reserva-
ton in South Dakota. Two-Son had to
kill pony to keep himself and family
from starving, and before the storm came
would pick red berries that grow on rose
pushes and eat them. That is all the
food they have had for over two weeks.
White Dog also has had nothing to eat
except a dead horse he found and took
home the other day. The Indians have no
means to buy clothing or provisions. They
have not had payment since last July
ard their crops, like those of their white
brother. were total failure, and the
lakes that once were full of water have
been dry for the last three years. There
is nothing for the Indians to trap. The
government was to have made them
payment in October, but it has not yet
been made.

was no inaugural address and this set

he secured the services of n. =. Smith
