We appoint our federal judges. In Switzer-
land they are elected by congress. The su-
preme court consists of nine judges and nine
alternates elected for terms of six years.
Any man except a clergyman can be chosen.
and it makes no matter whether he is a
lawyer or not. The court. however, must
be so divided that three Of the judges can
speak French. three German and three
italian.
The Swiss judges receive only one-fifth as
much salary as the members of our Su-
preme Court. They are each paid 5000 a
year, with s. day extra for travelling ex-
penses while absent on judicial business
from the capital.
Our Supreme Court judges are elected
for life, those OF the Swiss are elected for
a term OF six years, and the constitution
provides that their vacations shall not ex-
coed four weeks Of the year Their juris-
diction extends to the same matters as the
supreme Court OF the United States, includ-
ing all questions of disputes between the
cantons or states, all matters Of treason
and international law, and also certain
cases OF appeal.

The Government and the Telephones.
Switzerland finds that it pays the gov
eminent to own the telephones and tele-
graphs President Temp told me that they
were operated without difficulty, and that
the government administration of them had
proved satisfactory. The telephones here
are connected with the post office depart
ment and almost every post office is tele-
graph office as well. The country is small,
but it has 31S central stations and more
than $1,000 miles of wire. In 1900 there
were more than 2o,000,000 conversations,
and the telephone receipts were more than
double those of the telegraph. amounting to
81 100000. This is so Notwithstanding the
telephone rates are among the lowest of the
world. For certain distances 1t costs you
less than a cent a message. This IS the
charge in towns and cities. You can have
a telephone in your house or business place
for from $40 to so year, and you can
send long-distance messages to any part of
Switzerland for Ii cents.
The telegraphs are equally cheap. mes
sage costs you 6 cents ground tax. and
In addition only l cent for every two words;

that startled the older lawyers. The de-
iehuant was crazy when he Killed his wife,
ana the drink had made him crazy Because
ne was crazy at the time he was incapable OF
premeditating the deed which was NOT ana
could not have been the result Of any ~
feeling between the couple. because they
had lived happily together. Therefore the
defendant had killed his wife while not i'm
the possession of his reason. and. there
fore. was not guilty OF murder.
The jury held the young lawyers logic to
be good law and acquitted the defendant.
After that trial Lawyer Gray did not have
to wait long between clients. and he at once
became a leading member of the Hen and
Chickens State bar.

How He Made His Reputation.

It was while the courts were located at
Newcastle. where Andrew Gray was looked
upon a. q man of afHuence. that his son
George. several years after he left the Har-
ward law school. In 1854. attracted the at
tention Of the entire bar Of Delaware by his
successful conduct OF what every we'll
known lawyer In the little state had looked
upon As a hopeless case for the defense.
A farmer had taken load OF his products
to Wilmington. and while there got drank.
When he returned home he was frenzaed
with liQuor, and while Ia th's state killed
his wife. He was caught red-handed. and
no one dreamed that any defense Tor the
deed could. or would. be put up.
But when the farmers trial was called
George Gray came forward as lawyer for
the defendant, and placed witness after wit
ness ON the stand to prove that his client
was beastiy drunk when ne killed MS wiie:
that no one had ever heard him make
threats against her. and that, as far as
they knew. the couple had lived peacefully
