In studying the changes which the
map of the world has undergone In the
course of the last 200 years, it must
often have seemed a puzzle why the

COMPLAINED OF HER CHANCES
Woman Said to Be Trying to Influence
Jurymen Proved to BE Blind.

woman SAID to BE Trying to Influence
Jurymen Proved to BE Blind.
From the Philadelphia Press: That
juries are affected by handsome and
languishing eyes is proven by a re-
markable experience of the greatest
advocate at the New York bar, the late
James T. Brady. He was counsel for
a young woman in a case involving an
attempt to break a will. His client
sat by his side. She was a very beau
tiful young woman, whose eyes SEEM
ed always to rivet the attention OF
those upon whom her glance fell.
There was a pathetic expression which
affected everyone. She sat watching
the jury during the course of the trial
and at last there was some complaint
that she was attempting by e of
her glances to excite the sympathy
of the jury. Then Mr.. Brady arose
and in one of the most touching and
beautiful of all the addresses he ever
made in court he spoke of the bless
ings which everyone who had an APP
probation Of beautiful things and
could see them enjoyed, and dwelt for
some moments upon the happy lot of
the jury, who could see the budding
of the flowers-it was then springtime
and the charms of nature, then, sud-
denly turning to his client, he said:
THAT blessing is denied my client,
for, though she has eyes which seem
to look upon you, gentlemen, there Is
no vision in them, for her sight has
been taken from her." She had been,
in fact, the victim of total paralysis
of the optic nerve, which had not i'm
paired the beauty of her eyes, but had
given to them that singularly pathetic
expression which she was thus falsely
charged with employing that she
might secure the sympathies of the
jury.

A very deceptive optical illusion is
accomplished by the use of a large
china plate. Sitting at one side of the
table you rest the plate on your knee,
so that about one-third of it shows
above the table. Take a knife in both
hands and rest it on the plate. If you
now lower and raise the knees alter
nately, quickly and evenly, it gives a
motion to the plate, as if it was actu-
ally revolving round. In fact, it is so
Elusive that to the operator himself
it has the same appearance.

Outward Worship.

The Christian cannot we'll live his
life without outward worship, public
and private. Most certainly we ought
to be spiritual at our daily business.
But how is one to keep in the spiritual
condition day by day, save as the Sab
bath finds him in the sanctuary, where
he walks upon the high places of his
faith? The Sabbath and the sanctuary
are to be sure means not ends, but as
means they are practically indispen-
sable to the good ordering of the
Christian life. Is our life flowing
along the ranges of ordinary prosper
tty? We need the fervor of public
worship to keep it from a material
m%onotony. Does it chance that we
have met with some great good for
tune? We need these holy influences
to keep us from becoming sordid and
worldly. Has sorrow fallen upon us,
and do our hearts ache? Where is a
better place than Gods house to which
to turn with our griefs? Surely there
something of divine peace will come,
as balm to the wounded spirit.
The prayers, the songs of praise, the
Word of God, the truth spoken by
Gods ambassador-these all combine
to make the Sabbath a day of holy
rest, and the sanctuary a spot of
brightness in the midst of the turmoil
or the monotony of our daily lives.
For the time our spirits are olsen
thralled, and we come closer to the
Almighty Spirit, and SO find strength
and patience, and courage to bear the
cares and anxiety, and toll of the
work a day world. Here is found the
value of the Sabbath, and of all that
is implied in keeping it holy. Here
is found the value of the family altar.
and of the place for the "still hour"
The outward worship greatly helps the
inward spiritual life.-N. Y. Observer.
