An Indian Trained Nurse,

The distinction of being the first In.
dian woman to graduate as q trained
nurse Is due Miss Nancy Cornelius Of
the Oneida tribe Of Wisconsin. She
has made for herself most enviable
reputation In this work. She was one
of the most promising pupils In the
school on the Oneida reservation. and
was sent from there to the training
school at Carlisle, PA. After spending
q few years there she entered the Con-
necticut training school and graduated
from It In 1880. She says she sees no
good reason why she should return to
the reservation. especially when cir.
cumstauces are 20 unfavOrable.

SUSPENSION OF SENTENCE.

In THE administration Of justice
there occur many cases where it's
ends would be far better served by
suspension Of sentence than en-
forcing immediate punishment.
Literal construction of law, and
the eagerness Of compliments to
prosecute, frequently bring the
doom Of conviction on many who,
while technically guilty, were in
nocent Of criminal intention, and
are in no wise dangerous to soci-
ety's peace and safety. This class
have no affinity with crime, nor do
they deserve it's penalties; the
proper and just course of action
being a suspension Of punishment
as bond of good behavior. It
would serve as a powerful incen-

THE ABILITY OF EXPERIENCE.

EXPERIENCE, while being the
dearest of teachers, is the wisest of
counselors and safest Of guides. In
it's school is gathered the knowl-
edge Of observation, practice and
study that forms the highest type
Of ability-the ability that imparts
ease Of confidence, grace of action
and which commands the greatest
consideration as a measure of USE
fulness.
Natural ability is spontaneous

trucking dependence and weakness

gressive determination to grapple
with the obstacles that make sue
cess difficult, which smiles at fail
ure and encouragement and which
accepts both with the grace of good
nature is a conquering agency
which brings fame as we'll as

ONE reason why there is not
more charity in this world is be-
cause those who are ready to serve
the deserving are in doubt as to
what spirit their offers Of aid will
be taken. A false pride that refuses
to admit necessity conceals great
deal of distress, which if made
known would find ready succor,
and the tender of assistance repaid
by appreciation.

SERENITY of temperament is
what gives self-poise in the strug-
gle for existence. In the strife Of
competition and struggles of ambi-
ton steadiness of the mental facul-
ties and control of the emotions
are the essentials Of success. Those
who are wavering in manner, who
hesitate to embrace opportunity
and who are slow in asserting their
rights are the ones who exist to
obey and not command. Serene

SOME people imagine that ability

THE JURY.

WITH centuries OF service 10
recommend it, trial by jury SYM
bolizes, or is supposed to symbol
ize, all that is sacred in the history
of free government. Along with
the writ Of habeas corpus it en-
bodies all that modern civilization
has wrested from despotism, and is
synonymous with liberty in its
highest sense. It's defects, long
recognized and evident as they
are, have been excused as the nat
ural result of human fallibility in
the administration Of justice. Be-
tween the system Of today and
that of the feudal age the differ
ence is little or nothing; the pro-
cedure of selection and deliberation
being the same. While law has
kept in touch with the spirit of
advancement that marks the prog
ress Of the age, the most impor-
tant arm of it's administration has
remained stationary.
In the minds Of many, we'll quail
flied to Judge, it exists today as
the greatest obstacle in the way of
Justice. Both sides to an action
fear it's prejudice, it's ignorance
and bias, and await the decision
of the twelve good men and true"
with the same feeling that the
holder of a lottery ticket awaits
the drawing-as a question Of
chance rather than justice. The
capacity Of the average juror for
Analysing evidence and deducing
truth from falsehood must Of ne
cessity be small. Unused to law
with it's verbiage, forms and tech
nical clap-trap, the average citizen
is wholly untitled to weigh con-
ficting testimony and judge intel
ligently Of the merits Of case.
The position Of juror to most men
is novel, which, with the windy
and misleading sophistry Of attor-
news. renders them more prone to
rely on the judgment of others
than they would in the ordinary
affairs Of life. Every trial Of i'm
portance emphasizes the need of
a radical change in the jury sys-
tenn. The absurd length of time
required to select an acceptable
jury is in itself a travesty on JUS
tice. Ignorance is the great quail
ifcation that seems to find favor
with lawyers on both sides, and
the more barren the intellect the
more perfect the juror.
A popular notion is that lgnOr-
ant juries increase the chances Of
the defendant. The reverse is
nearer the truth. Where eminent
: counsel can be employed this viii
hold true, but the great majority
of those who come in conflict with
the law have not the means to Sc
cure able defense, and are obliged
to face the ordeal of trial poorly

from that acquired by experience.
The latter is more vigorous and Of
higher value, as it is the result of
studied effort and the perfection
that comes of long practice. With
out employing the lessons Of ex-
perience, the faculties of intelli-
gence can never attain their
complete maturity or full capacity
for action. They must be trained,
not only by bookish theory, but
the more instructive and valuable
practice that results from personal
experience with the affairs of life.
The ability that has a deep dis
corning knowledge Of human ma
ture is Of an order that commands
the highest respect, and appeals
strongest to the admiration of men.
To index the depth Of belief, pref
udice and temperament Of others
and determine their susceptibility
to reason, artifice or the illustra-
tons of truth, with the power of
Analysing the moral and intellec-
tual value of their intentions is
ability that gives it's possessor pre-
eminence in all walks Of life.
Books cannot teach it: no instruct
or can impart it. Experience
with man himself, in studying his
receptions and learning to peer
into his inner self by reading the
thoughts expressed in his emotions
is the one school in which it may
be acquired. No one class can
furnish the full material for study
it must be found in all stations
and in all degrees Of intelligence.
Ability Of this kind is what makes
leaders of men. knowledge of
men and how to control them and
use their talents for personal ends
was the keynote Of the meteoric
career of Napoleon. The so-called
magnetic qualities Of Clay and
Blaine were but a keen insight
into human nature, and the ability
to use it in swaying the minds OF
their followers by well-directed
appeals to interest, prejudice OF
patriotism.
Travel is the great friend Of
ability, inasmuch as it dispels pref
udice by sweeping away the mar
row views of provincialism an6
