ORIGIN Of the HaIo.

In the public places in Athens one or
two thousand years ago the Greeks set
up the statues Of their gods and god
desses. To guard against the posi-
bility Of the rain staining the marble
faces Of their masterpieces they used
to protect each with a large metal
plate at the top of the head. These
were mistaken by the preraphaelite
painters for emblems of divinity. Ac
cordingly to this day we see around
the pictured heads Of our Christian
saints the curious little ring which II
known as the halo.

A Hint For Amateur Juss1er.

The amateur conjurer should, as far
as possible, endeavor to juggle only
with the ordinary commonplace articles
that are Invariably at hand. Cards are
to be found In almost every house,
hats, handkerchiefs, glasses, coins and
paper are always handy, and the man
who centuries with these with no ap-
parent preparation will both please and
mystfy his audience much than
he who brings along a bagful Of pre-
pared tricks and spends half an hour
behind a screen.-Strand Magazine.

CITY COUNCILS GOOD WORK.

TT is not surprising that the public service cor
4 orpations should meet the councilmen In
their efforts to provide further revenue for the
city. The corporations are much benefited by a
progressive spirit in the city, and what advances
the interests of the city helps them also. They
profit as do others by a forward movement for
the betterment OF Wilmington We need money
for streets and for many other Improvements. 1t
has been felt all along by the councilmen that
the tax rate on real estate should not be ad-
vanced. An increase there would mean higher
rents and an additional burden upon those who
pay such rents. The logical conclusion then
was to devise some plan to secure revenue from
another source and the scheme of taxation Of
the public service corporations, not oppressively
but fairly, in accordance with their privileges
was considered. This plan has borne fruit in
the apparent hearty cooperation of the COM
panies themselves. This move by Council and
the acquiescence in it by the corporations con-
cerned Illustrates the power of public opinion
Think of how much. could be accomplished for
Delaware by persistent, we-drected and sus-

infamous special jury law. Special juries have
in recent years grown to be a positive evil, and
the system has been used by the corporations to
secure an advantage in the trial of cases in
which they are interested. Every case in which
the corporations are defendants are now tried by
a special jury, asked and paid for by the corpo-
rations. The jury is selected by one man, and
with such care that the corporations expect a
favorable verdict for them in every trial Nine
tenths of the men on the special jury list are
known to lean strongly in favor of the railroads
and corporations. As soon as they showsa diff
ferent tendency they appear to be ineligible as
special jurors. The widows and orphans, as
plaintiffs against the corporations are up
against a stiff game, and the chances are that
they will lose their cases regardless Of the
merits a man charged with murder has not the
privilege of asking ior a special or partial jury
to try his case, but the corporations have. The
law is unfair and unjust and when corrupty
administered, it makes a mockery OF Justice. Let
the special jury law be abolished and let all par
ties in court stand upon equal footing. The
corporations tried to defeat the bill in the House
yesterday, but they made a deservedly poor
showing. 1t is said they are planning to defeat
it in the Senate, where they claim to have coll
lars on a majority of the members. The vote on
that bill in the Senate will show how many free
and independent members there are in that
body
