requests to be excused from jury duty. and IN

courts receive S3 a day. Jurors in the escrin1inal
courts of the city receive 81 a day. Members
of the jury panels In the civil courts of New

called to try d case, Then they get 81 apiece
for that case, whether the case lasts an hour or
a week on trial. and if the takes the form
Of inquest in which only one side is heard,
the juryman gets only 30 cents.
The result is that many who en-
poyed on salaries make all sorts of excuses
to escape jury duty. and many Of the judges
excuse men who would lose their pay for days
spent in attendance at the courts although the
would make good jurors. Several of the
judges have desired legislation that would pro

services OF jurors in the city, believing that
there should not be discrimination against city
who called for jury duty.

PARADISE OF THE FARMER.
Nowhere Does Agriculture Equal 1T
Importance In This Country.

Nowhere Does Agriculture Equal Its
Importance In This Country.
Nowhere in the world does agricul-
ture approach the Importance 1t oc-
cupies in the United States. With but
one or two exceptions no crop grown
abroad equals that Of our agricultur-
alists, while in many crops we not
only surpass every other country, but
all countries combined. There are two
reasons of this pre-eminence-the
magnitude of our home market, which
consumes fully 80 per cent of our pro-
ducts, and the Investigations of our
crops, which serves to utilize the larg-
est possible acreage and give employ
ment to our large farming population.
Forty per cent Of our people are
farmers, who not only feed and clothe
themselves, but all the rest of the in
habitants, besides exporting annually
81 900, 100000 worth of their products.
The advantages of the United States
farmer have been shown most wildly
this fall. Though many crops were
smaller than usual, yet our farmers
will realize more than in any previous
year of our history.
The total value of our products of
agriculture is between $S,000,0000 900
and $4,000, 100000, a stupendous sum,
and yet 1t means only per capita
consumption of 800 year for what
we eat, the basis of what we wear and
much that enters into the construction
of our dwellings and furniture. The
farmer of the United States is blessed
over all the farmers of the earth in
opportunity, in contribulory agencies

There are now standing nearly $780,
900 telegraph poles. The average life
of telegraph pole is about ten years.
so that nearly 100000 new poles are
required every year for renewals.
These figures do not include tele-
phone poles and the poles required on
new railway lines. The total annual
consumption Of timber for ties and
poles is equivalent to the amount Of
timber grown on 100000 acres of good
virgin forest. For making shoe pegs
the amount of timber used in single
year is equal to the product Of fully
$500 acres Of good second growth
hardwood land. Last and boot trees
require at least 100000 cords more.
Most newspaper and packing paper is
made from wood. The total annual
consumption of wood for paper is
equivalent to over 500 100000 board feet
Of timber, for which it would be neces-
sary, were the trees all growing togeth-

Of muslin and hung on the curtain rod,

Gowns Made Nor. Durable.

There is one comfortable reflection
to be >ound in a study of the gowns
Of the coming year. That. though be-
ginning stransparencies and without
much fit, or, one might say, trimness,
they will not easily show wear an$
tear. They can be mended and darned
and patched and pieced, and they will
look quite nice through 1t all. This is
very comforting when one has lace
gown, pretty we'll torn, and is out
looking for chiffon roses warranted to
cover the holes.
