that the average woman under like
temptation would do very differently
from the average mana belief which

cent accusation before the women's
auxiliary of the Civil Service Reform

into office whenever they get the chance,
without any evidence that they are hit

Possibly women were intended by thelr
Creator to stand for the reformatory III

as yet Sufficient evidence thereto, either
in the nature of things or of women, tc

vines is to see that they are constantly
supplied with sufficient water Planted
as they usually are, in situation where
they are exposed to the sun major

very rapidly, and plenty ct water
should be given when necessary. In the

ing too rapidly, can be trimmed with

Antieat Mr.. Earting's Yoke.

The late George Won Bunsep, the ac-
complished and delightful son Of the
baroness whose Life and Letters ara
well known in America, once told mo
an anecdoto Of tho late Princess Mary
of Teck and the celebrated Eanting.
The princess became, in her middle life,
enormously stout, and finding her
weight a burden tried several methods
of reducing it. At last, having heard
much of Ianting, she sent for HIM. She
was surprised to SEQ that lie was still
extremely Lulky, and after few civil
pre- paratory remarks size said But
your system has not made you very thin,
MIR. Banting. y
ALLOW me, madam" said Eanting.
And proceeding to Intuition his coat
he disclosed large wire structure over
which the garment fitted. Inside was
tho real Hanting, intased in another
coat.

with pardonable satisfaction to his
cage, twas my size before | commenced

And still the wild rose decks the ~ale,
But thou art Gar Away.

And tears Of anguish hattie my cheek
Where tears of rapture foll,
And yet beneath these wildwood Eowrr.
Dear thoughts my soul employ,
For in tiie memories Of pns: hours
There is nourniul Joy.
Upon the air thy gentle words
Around me seem TO thrill,
Like sounds upon the wind harp's cho~ts
When All the winds are still,
Or Ike tho low and soull!ke swell
Of that wild spirit tone
Which haliats the hollow Of the hell
When its sad cline is done
| sccn to hear thee speak my name
In sweet, low murnurs now.

Alas that such dream of bliss
Like ntaer dreams must fade!

TEAS AND TEAS.
Things Once Used or Now Used rs Substi~
tutes For the Chinese Herb.

OF course every one knows that we
drink a good deal that ism It tea when
we drink a cup Of tea. We drink-or
are supposed to tlrink-sOmo tea, some
lead and some straw. But there are sew
eral teas that the drinkers know arc
not made OF tea leaves and yet are not
adulteratod.
In Peru they drink mate, a tea made
from the Hex paragucDsis, a species of
holly, This is the only mate tea, but
there is Brazilian tea, goTgonha, call
ed mate there; another tea used i'll Aus
tria, called Brazilian tea, and several
other so called mate teas are made from
different varieties Of the lick, In Lab
rador they make a tea from two species
of ledum. Oswego tea was made from
the scarlet mouarda, and mountain tea
from the dwarf evergreen, Gaultheria
procumbens Then clover tea and tansy
tea and catnip tea and mint tea are
used, though not as beverages.
In Sumatra they use coffee leaves to
make tea out of, and the beverage is
said to be very refreshing. In Mauritius
the leaves of an orchid, Angroecum
fragrans, are used. The Tonquinese
have teas of their own, made OF leaves,
berries, banks and woods The Abys-
sinians make tea out Of the leaves OF
the Catha edulis. When a sentinel can t
leave his post to get cup or tea, ne
can chew leaf or two of this plant,
and he won't feel like going to sleep
all night In Tasmania there are SAID
to be more than 200 substitutes for tea;
in England they used to make a tea or
sage, betony or rosemary and OF raSp-
berry leaves: in France they use black
currant leaves and borage to make tea
and century or so ago they gathered
in English gardens and fields ash, eldel
and sloe leaves, and the leaves Of white
thorn and blackthorn, out Of which tc
make tea. So it is evident that there
are teas and teas New York sun.

FOR ORDER IN THE COURT.
a Protest Against Dramatic Dcmonstra-
lions In Trials by Jury.


tons In Trials by Jury.
There is a practice the universal
prevalence of Which in our existing

mer. 1t is practice whose evils, SO
far as | can discover, have never been
commented upon, or even appreciated,
by the press, public or individuals.
refer to the whole method by which,
right or wrong, innocence or guilt is
sought to be proved ty the counsel on
either side.
Assume, for instance, a criminal case
for the same method is applied,
though usually to a lesser degree, to
civil contests. Beginning with the
opening arraignment by the prosecu-
and cross examination of the witnesses,
the display of exhibits, on to the very
end Of the final harangues Of the oppOs-
ing counsel, the dramatic is never lost
sight of.
The emotions, not the intelligence, of
the jurors are appealed to throughout.
In typical murder case which re-
Gently gratified the morbidly sensational
element of the entire country the dis
trict attorney arose impressively,
glanced about him ominously and then,
with a TREMENDOUSLY tragic voice, proceed
ed TO arraign the accused, charging him
outright with the crime, practically as
Stunning without doubt that he was
guilty and endeavoring by the use of
every vile of the orators art to sway
the jury to his mode of thinking. And
this before the minutest bit Of evidence
had been taken.
Is eloquence a proper adjunct to our
jurisprudence
Hlretic though may be, hold en-.
phatically and with qualification that it
is not. 1t has no place in hall Of JUS
tice, where, we are led to believe, the
truth and only the truth is to be brought
out. Eloquence, as manifested y ora
tory, is inimical to truth, which can
only be discovered and established Ly
calm, unprejudiced and disrassionate
investigation.
Eloquence appeals to the emotions,
and its victories are obtained by trick
ery-the trickery Of nasterful yerLiage
playing upon sensitive but unreasoning
ears
The claim that cannot lie justified be-
fore the reason cannot be valid. Flo
quence is the weapon Of falsity. Truth
and right do not require its use. The
sphere of eloquence is the stage In the
pulpit, before the lar OF justice and il
the hall Of legislation it is Il source OF
unlimited evil.
hold that for the Accomplishment
of justice all the tLeatric Displays, al
eloquence, all eXcitants to the emotions
should be banished from our courts Of
law by sentiment if not Ly regulation
They have no place there.
Judicial procedure should be alcnl

The establishment Of right or wrong
guilt or innocence, is something to bt

ncy and my mothers connection with
it, The facts, briefly stated, We're about
as follows: While spending the previ-
ous summer at Newport, r. L., my
mother b came acquainted with Mr..
Whitney and grew much interested in
the outcome Of the experiments he was
then making in the interest of his pro-
ioctcd gin. To assist in his enterprise,
NY mother invited him to spend the
follow ing winter at Dungeness, where
an abundance Of cotton and quiet could
BE- assured. Mr.. Whitney accordingly
came to Dungeness, and diligently pur-
sued his experiments, a room in the
fifth story having been specially fitted
for his use as an inventor. One morn
ing he descended headlong into the
druVin, room where a number of
guests were assembled and excitedly
exclaimed, The victory is mine! In
deep sympathy with him the guests
and hostess went with him to his work
shop. Whitney set his model in motion.
Tor few moments the miniature saws
reyolved without hindrance and the
separation of the seed from the cotton
wool was successfully accomplish, but
after a little the saws clogged with lint,
the wheel stopped, and poor Whitney
was in despair.
Here's what you need, exclaimed
MY mother in her clear, decisive way,
and she Instantly seized a c]othesbrush
lying On the mantel and held it firmly
to the teeth Of the saws. Again the
drum reyolved, and instantly the saws
were cleaned of the lint, and the last
requirement of the great invention was
satisfied
"'Madom,' said Whitney, overcome
with emotion and speaking with the
eXaggcration of gratitude, you have
perfected my invention
