A war correspondent who described

AS the music ceased a great roar
of cheers broke out, followed by a
chorus of "God Save the Queen.'
During the singing of the anthem n
tall Free State artilleryman who
was watching the ceremony refused
to remove his hat, and a bystander
tried to force him to do so, when q
British guardsman forcefully inter-
posed, saying:
Leave him alone. He fought for
his flag. You are too cowardly to
fight for any flag"

SELECTING A JURY.



Selecting jury seems to be n mat
ter of intuition with some lawyers"
said a prominent member of the local
bar, ''and those who are the most sue
cessful at it are often unable to give
any reasons. That man will be
against u.s. or that man will be for
u.s. they say, and make their chal-
lenges accordingly, but if you ask for
the why's and wherefores they are non
plussed.
Zone of the cleverest men in that line
l ever knew in my life was the old
lawyer in whose office studied The
way the colonel as we called him,
could spot a case of potential hostility
in selecting Il jury was next door to
miraculous. l remember on one occa-
sion he was representing a railroad
company in damage suit brought by
Il man who claimed to have received
spinal injuries in an accident. His
hurts were not visible to the eye, but
according to his story he was in con-
tinual agony. One of the jurymen was
soiemn-looking chap who was in the
grocery business. While the colonel
was questioning him he noticed a lit
tie chain hanging out of his upper vest
pocket. What's attached to that
chain" he asked abruptly. "A pocket
thermometer replied the juryman.
Without assigning any definite reason
the colonel tried desperately to get the
man off, but the judge passed him.
'The jury gave a stiff verdict for the
plaintiff, and it developed that the gro
Ger had been his chief advocate. L
knew he would oppose u as soon as l
heard about that thermometer said
the colonel afterward at his office.
ANY grocer who carries a pocket ther-
mometer is necessarily a hypochon-
driac, and, as our defense was based
on the theory that the plaintiffs inju-
ries were entirely imaginary, the argu-
ment naturally gave this chap .offense.
He had probably heard that sort of
talk applied to HIMSELF Did you
figure that out on the spot? l asked.
No. he said, but l felt it in my

The Useful Fan.

In spite of all the 'splendidiferous'
fans set out for our tempting every
summer, we usually manage to be true
to the simple little Fatinitza fan,
which folds up so inconspicuously that
one would never be accused of carry
ing concealed fans.
1t is much more desirable and dur
able than its kindred weapon, which
Is known as the pistol fan, though
perhaps not as ingenious, nor as sur
prising to the uninitiated, if, indeed,
there be any in this land of the free
who do not know it.
In white the Fatinitza is suitable to
accompany any airy fairy get-up,
while in black it is a standby.
Many well-dressed women fairly
live with it in summer and consider
it good taste even for winter theatre
going. For church and the like it
hasn't an equal.
With leather-covered handles it
costs quarter (though some may be
had as low as dime), and with eel
luloid handles it's a matter cf half
a dollar. The tan ones have amber
sticks, the brown ones shell, and, of
course, these may be imitation, for
a song, or real, at a price to make the
uniformed gasp. The white may
also be celluloid, or ivory, or mother
of pearl.

Names of White House Ladies',

1t Is an interesting study in nomen-
clature to run over the names of the
Presidents wives. There has been
but one Mary-Mary Todd Lincoln.
There were two Marthas-Martha
cambridge Washington and Martha
Wayles Jefferson; two Abigails-Abi-
gail Powers Fillmore and Abigail
Smith Adams. Another maiden, pos
sessed of the commonplace nacie of
Smith, who married the wife of a
President-Margaret Smith, who mar
ried Zachary Taylor. There were also
two EliZas-Eliza cartwright Mon
roe and Eliza McCardle johnson.
There was a second Todd-Dolly
Todd Madison. After Dolly, which
was perhaps the most fanciful name
savoring more of a nickname, were
the two rather high-sounding names,
Letitia and Lucretia-Letitia Christian
Tyler and Lucretia Rudolph Ga"Geld.
Julia Dent Grant, Lucy Webb Hayes
and Louisa Catherine Adams had
Christian names more modern and
less sedate than Jane Appleton Pierce,
Hannah Hoes Van Buren,, Rachel Don
elson Jackson, Sarah Childress Polk
and Anne Symmes Harrison. Frances
Folsom Cleveland, Caroline Scott Har-
rison and Ida SaXton Mckinley are
familiar to all.

There seems to be no philosophical
necessity for food. We can conceive
of organized beings living without
nourishment and deriving all the en-
ergy they need for the performance of
their life functions from the ambient
medium. In crystal we have the
clear evidence of the existence of q
formative life principle, and though
we cannot understand the life of Il
crystal, it is none the less a living be-
ing. There may be, besides crystals,
other such individualized, material
systems of beings, perhaps of gaseous
constitution, or composed of substance
still more tenuous. In view of this
possibility-nay, probability-we can
not alphabetically deny the existence of
organized beings on Il planet merely
because the conditions on the same
are unsuitable for the existence of life
as we conceive it. We cannot even,
with positive assurance, assert that
some of them might not be present

life manifestation may be such that

Although the ancients knew the deci-
NAL Enumeration, they could not use
decimal mathematics because they had
no knowledge of the cipher, which is
n rather recent invention. In the sixth
century we find among the Hindoos
and Chinese the first mention of
round sign to classify the figures in
decimal order. Through the interven-
ton of the Arabs the cipher came to
us not before the eleventh or twelfth
century. Before that epoch it was
therefore impossible to imagine a deci-
NAL system, and it required several
centuries to realize the advantages to
be derived from the decimal division
of our actual measures. In 1910 a cell
ebrated astronomer of Lyon, named
Mouton, was the first to call attention
to the advantage of such division, and
all scientists who, after him, occupied
themselves with the reform of weights
and measures made this division as
the essential basis of the reform.
