DOrOthy's Dictionary

Dorothy had driven half the house
hold wild by her attempts to discover
the meaning of a word. At last her
mother, in despair, took down the big
unabridged dictionary and showed 1T
to her. The next day Dorothy was in
a strange house and got into an argu-
ment with the youths Of the place over
the meaning Of another word. To con-
vince her that they were right they
pulled out small school dictionary and
showed her the definition.
But if they expected Dorothy to be
impressed they were bitterly mistaken.
''Huhr' said she, wrinkling up her
nose and mouth in a highly insulting
and sarcastic manner. THAT dickshon-
cry don't count. That's only one OF
those old bridge dickshoneries. Wait
till you come to my house, and I'll show
you I'm right with our big unbridged
one"

nOsticatiOn found in the alleged close
connection between the varying notes
of humming telegraph and telephone

by Herr Book, German whose title

humming of the wires, the professor
explains, is Influenced by the strength

method of observation with derision,
as they do all attempts to foretell the
weather from phenomena within the
sight and hearing of the common herd
Nevertheless the weather bureaus are
very far from infallible. While their
system of collecting at central point
data gained from observations at many
different points gives them an advan-
tage over the ordinary citizen in pre-
dieting the course Of general storms,
the public still has to depend very
largely for it's information regarding
local disturbances upon those signs
which Adam doubtless noted in the
garden of Eden. One would hardly be
justified in making affairs of great
pith and moment hang upon his own
weather predictions, but it may be
worth while to pay some attention to
the simple signals which our forefa-
theirs found so useful

The jury In German Law.

To say that trial by jury is itself on
trial in some parts of this country is
not wide of the mark. A very promi-
nent leader at the bar recently declared
that if all the cases in which he had
been participant had been decided by
a throw of dice instead of by jury YER
dict more substantial justice would
have been secured.
Trial by jury is feature of criminal
procedure in Germany and in one or
two important points bears upon re-
forms proposed in some of the states.
In addition to the twelve who consti-
tute the regular jury in Germany one
or more supplementary Jurors are
drawn. These alternates take part in
the trial, says a writer in the current
issue Of the Political Science Quarter
~, and have the same right in propos-
ing motions as the regular jurors. They
do not retire with the jury nor partici-
pate in the verdict, but should one Of
the regular jurors be incapacitated at
any stage an alternate takes his place.
For the affirmative of guilt MAORI
ty of two-thirds is necessary. 1t takes
eight to convict. but only five to &C
quit. In questions of "mirigating cir
cumstances" simple majority may de-
eide its denial. A tie in sslch a ques-
ton is held to be an ans wer in the
affirmative.
In Germany jury may amend it's
verdict up to the very point where the
court pronounces judgment. The court
on its own motion may refer the case
for new trial, but the jmy's verdict
on this second trial must stand.
There are still some people left who
hold that consistency is Jewel"
Charles Wagner came to these shores
and preached his simple life doctrine.
About that time Mr. Robert Hunter, a
New York sociolOgist, reported that
several hundred thousand New Workers
had received the simple life teuets by
wireless and got to the verge of starva-
ton by putting them into practice.
Furthermore, 10000 children of these
fanatics went hungry to school each
day In order to counteract this wild
perversion of the noble pastors teach
ings dinner party of thirty-six PEG
pie sat down to a banquet costing
nearly $1.4O0 per plate. or $4,000 for
the spread. and committee of rich
citizens organized COMMITTEES to COM
pei the starving children to eat break
fast before starting for school and
also carry lunch. The committee, OF
course, foots the bills for this important
Innovation. which is no more than rea-
sonable, since it all is in the interest
Of society. The children will be useful
later provided they grow up ahlebodied.
