A valuable little plant that goes to
waste by roadsides and vacant lots Is
the shepherds purse, whose tiny seed
pods are known by everybody at sight,
though not by name. The green seeds
stripped from the stems and strewn
over lettuce or endIve are piquant

curative qualities need dwelling upon
for II is said to be one Of the surest
remedies for a disordered digestion.
The seed is eaten green. When the
lower pods are set and the top still In
flower is the best time, but 1t can be
used any time. The pleasant warm
ing, clearing, purifying effect is felt at
once, and the only directions are to
eat the seeds often and as much as Is
agreeable. For croupy children 1t may
be boiled In milk, but for elderly per-
sons this Is unnecessary.-New York

Edouard &c Reszke is telling a story
which he seems to relish nightly, says
the New York Times, even though the
joke is upon himself and his distin-
guished brother. It was during their
last.season in Paris together. In their
apartments at a certain hotel the broth
ers often practiced singing together of
mornings. One day while thus n
gagged they were annoyed by a loud
hammering ON the wall of the apart
ment adjoining theirs. Thinking their
neighbors were hanging pictures, they
tried to sing on.
When the racket had continued with
undated Nigor for about ten minutes,
however, it began to grow unendura-
BILE. The brothers paused to consider
b question. Then they noticed that
b noise had stopped. Instantly they
recommended their practice, encour-
aged to hope for peace. In another
moment, however, the sound Of ham,
mering again broke in upon their sing
ing, this time so loudly as to seriously
interfere with good results. After per-
severing against the disturbance for
some minutes longer Jean descended to

AS he approached the desk be found
an irate American who in all the
French he knew was astonishing the
clerk with a TRADE which in English
would have been something like this:
'It's an outrage, those fellows bel
lowing next to US all day! If you don't
stop it, we will. We've already used
up the shovel and the tongs, and now
we're beginning with the poker. Well

The tenor, standing by ~unobserved,
enjoyed the varying expressions which
fitted over the Americans face as the
clerk, having produced the register, re-
vealed to him the identity of his neigh
bors. When the complainant finally
understood, he made but one remark.
"And to think" he said chat I've
paid almost any price yer in America
just to hear those fellows sing!"
Then he turned e2 A1s heel and went
quietly up stairs. There was no more
pounding on the wall. The racket"
had become musical.

Judge Thomas's Charge.


4
The charge of Judge Thomas to the
grand jury of the City Court of Mont
gomery on Monday last Is worthy of high
| Commentator. and furnishes food for re-
| lection 1t was an able charge based
as It was upon that high principle and
deep regard for law and order which the
loyal and patriotic citizens of Alabama
have long entertained. Those who would
see Alabama take the splace to which she
/ is entitled in the front ranks Of civiliza-
| ton and progress agree with Judge
| Thomas that this can he accomplished
onlS through a deep respect for and rigid
| observance of the law Of the land. The
\ law Is the great restraining influence
| against aegeneracy, the protecting power
that guards the rights and prosperity and
happiness of the people, and defends their
property and homes and lives.
Judge Thomas's Injunction to the menu
bers of the jury to keep themselves above
| the slightest suspicion, to put them
selves beyond any suggestion, Of tempta-
| ton and 10 deal honestly Eafld sduarsly
| with each Individual case according to its
| merits as established by the evidence is
not the least important feature of his
charge In some cities whatis known as
! the proft ssional juror, with loose and
often selfish methods of handling cases,
| has done no little towards depriving the
law of that respect and feeling of rever-
| cree which 1t would otherwise command
| But the most significant part of the
| charge is~that which deals with the TAX
| ing of human life Facts and figures are
!
| population OF more than S0,0O00O0, the
| number Of homicides per annum is 81.
| In the German Empire, with a population
OF more than 1900, 900. the record is still
| more commendable, the number &c homi-
| cides per annum being given as 249. In
| Prussia, France, Japan and other for
eign countries the proportion of homi-
eides to the population is astonishingly
small. Yet when we come to Alabama,
/ with q population of less than 1000, 900,
the number of homicides per .annum is
| given as 1877, more than three-fourths as
] many as in Germany with her population
| nc re than twenty-five times as great. II
is further stated that Alabama is ex-
ceeded in homicides by only three other
| obtained, Texas, South Carolina and Geor-
gia.
Now, what is the cause of this? Not
| that our statutes fail to provide for the
| punishment of such offenses, for they dc.
But the loose, slip-shod way in which
the laws are enforced. That is the
trouble. How many men with money,
| friends and influence have been hung in
| Alabama for murder? And yet we know
| such cases are repeatedly brought TO the
| attention of the courts. The law is all
right 1t provides the punishment to fit
| the crime, but the trouble lies in the lack
| of its application. The low value put on
| human life appears 10 be growing more
/ and more dangerous, until now there is a
\ fast developing sentiment that unless a
halt be called and the iron ~hand OF the
/ law be applied to those men who are
] ready on the slightest proyocauon to shed
