The Scotch Juror.

In Scotland in a civil case jurymen
get 10 shillings day for their services,
and the litigants must in addition pro-
vide them with lunch. If two cases
are tried consecutively on one day and
the same jurymen off1ciate, they get 10
sh1llings for each case. But the most
Important difference between an Eng
hsh and a Scottish jury Is this: An
English jury when returning their YER
dict must be unanimous, and If they
fall to agree after certain time they
are dismissed, and the whole proceed
tngs are begun again de novo before q
fresh jury. This is the most expensive
mode Of administering justice. In civil
cases in order to avoid this result the
hdgants sometimes agree to accept the
verdict of majority. In Scotland the
jury can always give a verdict by a.
majority in civil cases after the lapse
OF three hours.-Chambers Journal. =

How a Road In ireland Was Made,

How Road In Ireland Was Made.
The way in which the Irish imagina-
tlon accounts for the curious notch in
the Devils Bit mountain, Tipperary, is
indicated in its very name. But there
are two versions Of the legend. Ac-
cording to one, it is said that MCKEE
Ben, just to try how sharp his teeth
were, bit piece off the upper edge;
but, finding 1t rather too hard even for
his digestion, he threw it up at Cashel,
In the same county, where 1t has re-
NAMED ever since. In confirmation of
the story it Is gravely asserted that the
rock Of Cashei would exactly fit into
the gap left in the aforesaid mountain.
In London Notes and Queries the tale
is told as follows: I'm the Barnane
mountains, near Templemore, Ireland
there is large dent or hollow, visible
at the distance of twenty miles and
known by the name of the Devils Bit
There is a foolish tradition that the
devil was obliged by one Of the saints
to make road for his reverence across
an extensive bog In the neighborhood,
and so, taking 4 piece Of the mountain
IN his mouth, he strobe over the bog
and deposited road behind him."

CROP KILLERS WORK
Cold Weather and Green bug Reports
Have Advanced Prices

OVi0 NVuu1Oi utu Wv Ou9 AVpus 10
Have Advanced Prices
The crop killers are now turn
ing their attention to the North
west, says the Breeders Gazette
in a late issue, and if the wheat
bug were not already green it
could turn green with envy over
the alarming frost and freeze
reports that now come out of the
Canadian Northwest. Up in
Manitoba they were delivering
wheat on bob-sleds last week,
zero temperatures were report
ed and a general WINERY atmos-
phere that should give the shiv-
ers to the wheat lear" Seed
ing is undoubtedly delayed and
prospects are not normal. And
yet they are merely prospects.
1t is enough however to jump the
price of the cereal in the specula-
tive markets. A broad survey
of the home situation discloses
unquestioned losses in the South
west and delayed seeding in the
Northw est, with it's attendant
reduced acreage; but the acreage
under winter wheat was so large
that with ordinary harvest con-
ditions there seems a fair show
for reasonable crop. 1t is on
the other side, rather than at
home, that the most significant
symptoms are displayed. One
Of the leading operators on the
Chicago Board of Trade declares
that there is not country on
the face of the globe that has a
good crop in prospect with the
possible exception of France. "
Crop damage and danger have
been more thoroughly exploited
this season than for many a year,
and there is much reason for it,
but there is yet opportunity for
harvest that will fill the hun
CRY mouths of the world.
The government crop report,
issued at noon on Friday, start
ed turmoil on the board Of
trade. Its estimate makes the
winter wheat crop about 100, O10,-
0O,' bushels less than last year.
and promises of a total little
more than will be needed for
domestic consumption. The
condition of the crop was sur
prisingly high, but the abandon
ed acreage was so great as to
cause intense activity IN buying.
For time the tremendous sur
plus of last year, which has
hung like pail over the mar
ket for months, was forgotten.
On Friday May wheat closed at
864 and December future 91b.
Some of this stimulus came from
foreign bids, but much of it
from Wall street spectators and
from small investors in the west
who are fond of playing the
market.
If the present prospects mater
ialize into short crop. with the
known shortage abroad, the
price of breadstuff will rise.
Never before have such reserves
of wheat been held by farmers,
and wheat in the bin' promis-
es to be somewhat like gold in the
ground except that it will be a
lot more readily marketed.
