goes to make up the jaries of the Unit
ed States. You may go to every other
land on the face of the globe, and you
| will not find such an average group of
intelligent and fair-minded men as YOU
can lind in any county seat in your
own country. But even from this gath
ering Of ordinarily intelligent men a
careful sitting is made; first by the
judges who pass upon the general fit
ness of the jurors, and then by the at
torneys who are to try the causes.
This examination of the judge ofttimes
proves an instructive lesson, and is the
means of bringing out queer phases
and traits of human nature. After a
general summons has been served tho
court proceeds to select his panels.
"All those who have been drawn as
jurors" says his honor, will step for
ward"
There is shuffing of feet and 80 or
40 men pass within the railing before
the bar.
Hold up your right hands" says the
clerk, and the oath is solemnly given.
The judge takes up the list of names
and reads: michael Mitchell"
Here" saiys Michael.
How old are you?" asks his honor.
''Thirty-nine." says Michael.
How long have you lived in Cook
county?"
"Thirty-eight years.

What does the word reponderance'
mean?'

tell"
Tell me is near as you can"
Kind of "A good thing"
No, it doesn't mean that. What does
the word conclusive mean?"
Il can't quite explain myself"
What would a lawyer mean by say
ing the evidence is conclusive?'"
He would mean that it was no
use " replied Michael
"A good many of them probably
think that sometimes" smiled the
Judge, but hardly believe they would
'are to have the jurors take it in that
way. I am afraid you will not do. for
'ou see we have not time to explain the
words as we go along. The persons

And how about the Americans?"
"Oh. just fair to middling"
You appear to be at variance with
nearly everyone. We will excuse YOU
from service"
After that il came easier. and two
panels of jurors were soon formed who
were to report TO the judge every day for
two weeks. Now when the LAWYERS
got through with their sitting proc
esses it is safe to say that the cause on
trial was in fairly competent hands.
So. you see, after all, you do owe a

Very few persons can eat the white
of hard-boiled egg with any degree
of comfort. Eggs are highly nutri-
tious and easy of digestion when light
ly or under cooked. The albumin. the
white of the egg. coagulates as soon
as it is dropped into hot water. The
long boiling renders the yoIk soft and
mealy, but the white becomes tough
and indigestible, and should be dis
earded.-Ladies' Home Journal
