The Verdict Of a Jurx.

Nothing is more uncertain than the
action of jury" said lawyer prom
inent in New York. 81 remember q
story my father told me when was q
boy in Alabama. The story was of his
Satanic majesty and a plain citizen
who met one day on narrow pathway
cut in the edge of cliff. On one side
there yawned precipice; on the other
side was the solid rock. There was
only room for one to pass, and of these
two one must lie down and let the 9th.
er walk over him.
"Tf you'll PROFOUND three questions
1 can't answer. suggested Satan, I'll
lie down and let you pass over my
body The citizen asked:
"'What is whittier than snow?
"'Cotton,' was the answer.
"'What is sweeter than sugar?'
"That's easy again-molasses.'

In neighboring city lives a young
man whose name is Carr. Carr is deep
" smitten with the charms of young
woman who resides with her mother IN
pretty villa near Sandlake, on the
line of the Troy and New England rail-
road. He asked permission of his in
amorata to call upon her at her home,
and the young woman accorded him
the privilege. Mr.. Carr reached the
villa where his Juliet resided and
pressed the electric button at the door.
The ring was answered by the mother
of the young woman. The latter had
never seen the young man. I'm Mr..
Carr he said, bowling profoundly.
"Um-er-well," was the reply which
staggered him, you may sit on the
stoop until one comes along"
Five minutes later the daughter told
her mother she expected caller and
asked who had rung the bell. She was
Informed that there was young man
sitting on the stoop who had missed q

cateut From si1kuorm..

Probably but small percentage Of
the fishermen who use flies strung with
fine translucent catgut are aware that
the almost unbreakable substance that
holds the hooks against the fiercest
struggles Of the struck fish comes from
silkworms. The principal center Of
the manufacture of this kind of cat
gut is the island Of Procida, in the bay
of Naples, but most of the silkworms
employed are raised near Tore An
nunZiata, at the foot of Vesuvius. The
caterpillars are killed just as they are
about to begin the spinning of cocoons,
the silk glands are removed and SUBJ
jected to a process Of picking, which
is secret of the trade, and afterward
the threads are carefully drawn out
by skilled workers, mostly women. The
length of the thread varies from q
foot to nearly twenty inches.

How Coal May BE Saved.

When it is understood that the same
amount of fuel is consumed in produc-
Ing either gas or heat, it is readily seen
why one person will use four times as
much coal as another without produc-
ing any more heat, If as much. When
feeding coal after the fire is made, only
a small quantity should be fed at a
time, and that spread evenly over the
surface Of the fire, for when fresh coal
Is added it for time lowers the tenn
perature Of the fire box Gust as pouring
cold water into pot of boiling water
stops the boiling by lowering the tenn
perature) until the added coal is heated
up to the igniting point, when it first
begins to burn and adds its heat to the
mass When but little coal is added,
this lowering Of the temperature will
be hardly noticed. but add large guam
tity, and it can be plainly seen.

he Let Her sleep.

Some years ago a Swansea vessel
was caught in a terrible gale. The cap
tain had his wife on board, and when
the wind was still rising he told her to
80 down below and sleep, for all was
well. He remained on the bridge till
the mate came up and said: "We've
done all we can. Hadn't you better tell
the chaps to get out the boats?"
Yes, yes, my lad, If you think So"
said the captain, who knew the only
choice left was whether to go down
with the ship or in small boat, which
couldn't live ten seconds In that sea.
The engineers came up with the news
that the fires were all out. every
well, my lads" said the captain quiet
ly, "save yourselves If you can"
won't you fetch the wife on deck,
sirf' asked one of the men.
NO." was the calm reply; '1et her
sleep. poor old girl 1 am going down
to have a smoke" And, smoking by
the bedside of his sleeping wife, he
went down with the ship. = London

The Greenland shark.

The Greenland shark is we'll known
as foe to whalers. 1t will follow q
dead whale to the ship and show no
fear Of the men while they are engaged
in cutting up the prey, biting out Jumps
from it as big as a mans head. Some
times it happens that q man will fall
off the slippery side Of the whale close
by the shark, but the latter never at
tacks him, being intent upon gorging
itself with the flesh of the cetacean.
The most severe wounds from thrusts
Of the whalers' knives will not per-
suade it to desist. This species of shark
is often partly or wholly blinded by a
paras ic worm three inches long which
fastens itself at the corner of the eye
and lives on its fluids.

A JuIx snnHntorm.

In the year 1859 snowstorm swept
over New York on the 9TH Of July. It
was Monday, and the fireworks, which
were then set off in front Of the city
hall in celebration Of the glorious
Fourth. had been kept over from Sat
urday. The weather was pleasant
enough in the morning and during the
greater part of the afternoon, but to-
ward dusk heavy clouds appeared in
the sky, northwest wind followed,
the thermometer went down to 81 de-
grees-one degree below freezing-and
the snowfakes came down at lively
gait. Men who went out that night
wore their winter overcoats and did
not find them uncomfortable, for the
cold lasted for hours.-New York Press.

The Forgotten Dot.

A wedding took place a short time
back in large town in the north of
England, the service being conducted
by rather eccentric vicar. Two days
after the ceremony he called at the
house of the bridegroom's mother, but
she happened to be out, so he said he
would call again, which he did later on
in the day, carrying two large green
bags under his arm.
This time he found her in. So he be-
gan by asking them to clear the table
a little. Then he opened the green
bags, from which he took the registers.
These he opened and in a most solemn
tone said:
Mrs. Williams, you have forgotten
to dot the app in Elizabeth"
The family breathed once more.

The MnH.

The form, one of the most famous Of
modern coins, originated in Florence.
Some say that it gave the name to the
city. while others assert that it was
first so called because II had on It a
aower-de-luce, from the italian fiorone
or flower" for the same reason that
an English silver piece is called a
Crown" or certain goidpieces In
France indinerently a napoleon" or q
''louis," or the ten dollar goldpiece In
America an "eagle."
Two countries, Austria and Holland,
have retained the form as a unit Of
monetary value. taking It at time
when it was very universal in Europe,
Its usage having been rendered general
by the financial supremacy Of the little
states Of northern Italy and the imper-
feet coinage system of the other coun-
tries Of the continent

ger.
The type of finger, whether spatu-
late, pointed or very nearly square,
causes the capacity to be directed into
very different channels. With the long
spatulate little finger success in busi-
ness will result, while the long pointed
one denotes tact and the management
of people.
This indeed is the finger of "whee-
die" The old saying, ITO turn people
round your little finger" is, like most
old proverbs, the result of continued
and close observation and in the case
of "the Ion" nointed Mercury" as Ben
Jonson i'll TAc Alchemist calls the
fourth finger, is undoubtedly entirely
true.
