JUST FOUND OUT.
Didn't Know Before That Lawyers
Cause Justice to BE blind.

Cause Justice to he blind.
WELL" said the affected citizen, rush
ing up and grasping the attorneys
hand, II thought before heard your
plea that the man was guilty, but really,
sir, you swept away all the prejudice
I had formed against him. You pre-
sented things so clearly that there was
nothing for the jury but to acquit him,
and ann glad that he is free"
THANK you," said the lawyer, &C
cording to the Cleveland Leader, 81 am
glad you admire my handling of the
case"
at was admirable, sir, admirable.
And I am so glad that he was innocent,
after all"
Eyes, so am I. By the way, if you
OF your friends ever get caught in any
crooked work, give me a call, and I'll
promise to make you just as innocent
as the man who was acquitted few
minutes ago. Here is my card. Good
day, sir"
For a long time the citizen stood
there, apparently in deep study. AT
last he shifted his weight from one foot
to the other, and said to himself:
"Wel, by gum, guess know now
why justice is blind. It's because them
blamed lawyers throw so much dust
in her eyes"

SINGING AMONG THE GREEKS.
The Ancient Greeks Sang Biithely
and Were Carefully Instructed.

The Ancient Greeks Sang Blithely
and Were Carefully Instructed.
Our present system of public instruc-
ton is not so modern as some would
have us believe. Sparta had her state
superintendent, who, if distant report
is to be trusted, was an educational
despot. But, while he welded his walk
ing stick freely during official visits,
and encouraged his subordinates to ply
the rod on all occasions, he was as
diligent a promoter of music as is any
humane and progressive educator of
our era. AS a result, the little Lace
daemonians sang blithely, no matter
what torment was going on under
their TUNES. And all over Greece, in
those dim days, were schools, ranging
from infant grades instructed under
Arcadian hedges to the university-ex-
tension schemes harbored in buildings
uniquely termed places of leisure"
The infants were drilled in their alpha
beta-gammas; the older boys were
taught poetry and gymnastics, with
something of arithmetic, geometry and
drawing; and adults spent their leisure
with rhetoriticians and sophists, pay
ing handsomely for the privilege. But
music was a sine qua non of Grecian
life, in school and in sport, in battle
and in burial. The epic and elegiac
chantings at festivals, the calm specula-
tons of Pythagoras as to the music
of the spheres, the choral outburst of
"the great fifth century" the material
odes of Tyrtaeus and Pindar, all show
the national love for melody of voice
as well as for high and harmonious
thought. An old-time Greek set down
amid the strident, metallic voices of
our occidental world would feel that
the Furies had seized either upon him
or the continent he was visiting.

Lightest of known Solids.

The hghtest known solid is said to be
the pith of the sunflower, with a spe-
cific gravity of 2s-1OOths, or about
one-eighth that of cork. The sun
flower is extensively cultivated in
central Russia, and various uses are
served by it's different parts, the recent
discovery of the Hghtness of the pith
essentially increasing the commercial
value of the plant. For hfesaving
appliances at sea cork has buoyancy
of one to five, while with the sunfower
pith oRe to IS is attained. About 800
cubic inhhes of it would weigh as much
as one cubic inch of iridium, the
heaviest metal.
