IN an article in the January number
of the International Monthly, Judge
Brewer, Of the Supreme Court, severe
1y criticises the jury system as it at
present exists. He does not, however,
believe that the ends of justice would
be best served by abolishing trial by
Jury, as some extremists now advocate,
but is of the opinion that jury of six
or eight is large enough to try all
minor cases. In all trials for capital
offenses a jury of twelve is none too
large.
He takes strong ground against the
barbarous custom of practically i'm
prisoning the jury during the progress
of the trial and believes that the per-
sonnet of the juries would be greatly
improved if the members were treated
with more consideration during their
term of service and permitted to go
about their own business after court
hours. The Judge advocates higher
pay and shorter hours for jurymen,
and does not believe that the fact of
an intelligent man having formed an
opinion from a casual consideration of
a case should debar him from serving
on the jury. The fact that a man is
now excused from serving upon de-
claring that he has read of case
and formed an opinion leaves too large
a loopho1e of escape for those who de-
sire 30 shirk their duty as citizens. In

Good Farm Gate,

A heavy gate that is opened num-
Der of times daily is apt to sag in short
time if not well braced. An excellent
way of overcoming this fault is shown
in the Illustration. The posts are
longer than those ordinarily used, and
are set foot deeper in the ground than
fence posts generally. Heavy fat
stones are placed about the bottom of
the post, to which the gate is hung, and
these stones are braced on either side
by stout oak stakes. These stakes are
driven so that the tops are just below
the surface of the ground. Three
strong hinges are used to hang the gate
and strong rod of iron is fastened to
the upright Of the gate and to the top
bar. This helps greatly in keeping the
gate from warping or tracking" out at
the joints. The latch fastening, though
simple, is effective. A slot is cut
through the front upright Of the gate

Principles of Pruning.

hile the proper pruning of trees
VIII not, by any means, insure their
fruitfulness, it Will have more to do
with it than even experienced orchard
lists think. 1t is a lamentable fact that
not one man in ten knows how to
properly prune fruiting tree; it is
also to be regretted that more fruit
growers do not better understand that
proper pruning largely means yearly
pruning and not general slaughter of
the limbs and twigs every three or
four years. This general practice sim
ply means urging the tree to make a
heavy growth OF wood which is not
needed. In pruning, the experienced
orchardist cuts but slightly the strong
limbs, but yields his knife and shears
vigorously on the light branches and
twigs growing on the inside and on
general rule and most growers of ex-
perience practice it with all fruit
trees, although in recent years expert
fruit growers seem inclined to take
out the stronger wood on peach trees,
although this plan is mainlysto get the
tree headed low; still the peach often
requires different treatment from 9TH
er orchard trees which may best be
determined by experiments with diff
ferent plans, for while general prin-
ciples may be laid down it is not pos
sible to cover in such directions local
conditions.

Nanuerisms of Sneakers.

1t is interesting to watch the man
nerisms which most speakers affect
while delivering their speeches Nearly
all public men have some trick of atti-
tude or gesture, which. as 4 rule. has
become so habitual that its possessor
could not rid himself of it If he wished.
and if he tried would probably break
down. Thus one win keep his hands
in his pockets: another win tumble
with some article of dress; while a
third must be constantly walking Up
and down while delivering his speech.
The funniest part Of the whole thing IS
that many of these people are totally
unconscious of their popularity, and
will. indeed. Indignantly deny the fact
of its existence, while they are actual
liz indulging in it all the time.

Probably the most notable legislation
enacted during Mr.. Longs administration
was the so-caled naval personnel act

many years prior to the passage of that
act the navy made strenuous endeavors
to have Congress place its commissioned
officers on the same footing as regards
