Judge BOarrnan and Intelligent Jurses NaW Oriaana PIravnnA

 When Onited States Judge Boar man. while q jury was being impan- neled to try the Adler case In the court over which he presided. declared that the mere reading of the newspapers did not dlsqualify citizens for Jury duty, he not only set forth an impor- tant truth, but he placed q ban upon the rule so often insisted on by coun- sel In criminal cases that the proverb- ial Intelligent jury" should be com posed of the most ignorant and stupid persons to bo found
 Not few judges in such cases have submitted to the demands of counsel that talesmen ummoned for jury ser- vice should be barred if they should happen to have read any mention of the case in the public press. Judge BoarmAn realizes that the preliminary reports printed of the alleged matters that may come up on trial are hearsay statements and individual opinions based on incomplete and often incor. rect Information, and cannot stand in the place of facts that are to be brought out In the trial of the case,
 The person who, having formed an opinion on incomplete and often incor- rect statements made in the press un- der conditions that attend the circula- ton of preliminary -rumors and reports, and who cannot abandon that opinion when ofieiaily informed of the actual facts, ig either very stupid or is nak . ing mere pretext to escape a citizen < duty.

CATTLE FRozE UP.

Storm OF Last Week Was Too Much
for Unsheltered Stock West Of the
River.
People reaching Aberdeen from
west Of the Missouri river report that
the recent cold spells in that section
OF the state did a great deal of dam
age to live stock. The bodies Of hum
dreds Of dead cattle whose owners
tried to winter them without shelter
are reported to be strewn along the
railroad line west of the river, and it
Is said the deaths have been more
numerous farther inland. There has
been no lack of food. The buffalo
grass, which retains its nutritiye
qualities the winter through Is availa.
Bile for the animals, as there has been
but little snow, but the unsheltered
beasts have found the winter weather
too much for them. In addition to
the losses from the cold, cattle rust
lers have been busy, and many Of the
large cattle ranchers are alleged to
have lost heavily from this source.

locomotives, doing away with the old
method of dumping the ashes by get

What a Small Farm Did

Richmond Times Dispatch: Here
is recent instance that came under
our observation, illustrating how in
tensive farming pays. A man, who
owned little land in Pulaski county
added to it from time to time, until he
had little farm of 80 acres. He was
then past middle life, and, had he
followed the old traditions, he would
have raised his:little..c crops of corn and
tobacco, would have sold few cattle,
and would have been poor the rest of
his life. But this man was a revolu-
ZIONIST. He determined to make that
farm yield a comfortable living. He
figured that he could only afford to
raise the highest class Of produce on so
limited an acreage. Hiring Negro,
and buying team, he set to work
with his sons.
Here are some of the crops he raised
From quarter acre planted in straw
berries he picked 35 bushels, that sold
for $500 per bushel. Three acres of
raspberries yielded him more than $500.
Three acres of apple trees were made to
bring 1890 bushels. A few unoccupied
acres put in grass, fattened cattle valu-
ed at 5000 to $500 per annum. He like
wise raised 900 bushels of potatoes in a
single season, while keeping up his
other crops. Strawberry plants and
shade tree slips yielded $3.50, while
poultry and eggs brought another 500.
In addition, he raised his entire provi-
sions and fed his team.
The other results were foregone. He
educated all of his sons and daughters,
travelled at his leisure, and protected his
old age.

Revision for The Editors.

Under the Dingley law the rate on
print paper was S6 per ton. A Wash
ington dispatch to the Lincoln (Neb.)
Journal says that under the new
law and as result of recent treasury
regulations the rate on paper coming
from the province of Ontario will be
$5.75 per ton and on the print paper
from Quebec something more than Sc
per ton. In one case the reduction is
merely nominal while in the other an
actual increase has been brought about.
The Journals dispatch adds that if, as
it is likely, the maximum rate be ap-
piled against Ontario the duty on print
paper from that province would be run
up to S.. so, marked increase over the
Dingley rate. AS result of these dis
closures republican papers are making
vigorous complaints. VIII republicans
never learn that it is not possible for
the consumers to obtain relief at the
hands of political party that is fl
nanced by the consumers oppressors?

be called criminal operation and as
such should be prohibited by law. ]
have been following the records of ap-

is coming when the people will realize
that the cutting of the appendix is a

seems hardly necessary to cite the long

lEFT-HANDED PEOPLE
ARE WEAKEST IN BRAIN
AT LEAST A GERMAN SCIENTIST WHO
INVESTIGATED SAYS THIS is so.

AT LEAST A GERMAN SCIENTIST WHO
INVESTIGATED SAYS THIS IS so.
Berlin.-Dr. Shier, an eminent Ger
man Psychologist, has published some
interesting particulars of Investigations
he has made among several thousands
of left-handed people in all walks ol
life.
His principal facts he draws from
carefully made Investigations in the
army, in which the military authorizes
aided him in every way in their power,
and he had ample time to work out his
conclusions.
He selected various actions among
hundreds of others as certain tests Of
left-handedness- -bread-cutting, thread
ing needles, cracking whip and shut
fling cards. The man who does these
things with his left hand is hopelessly
left-handed.
Professor Shier found that in the vast
majority of cases it is not more high
ly developed muscular arrangement in
the left hand and arm which causes
left-handedness; in fact, in II per cent.
of the cases examined he found that
the right arm and hand were the
stronger.
Hefound that left-handedness in a
large number of cases is inherited. A
left-handed man is bound to have a
certain number of his children of like
habit. He reckons that so per cent. oi
left-handed persons had left-handed
parents, and than this peculiarity is in
herited by three times as many boys as
girls.
Especially remarkable is the combi-
nation of suffering with left-handed-
ness. In fourteen regiments he found
1927 left-handed persons, of whom
nearly 1000 had some impediment in
speech or other form of nervous dis
order, some of which are only notice
able in quite young children and which
are got rid of with adolescence.
Coming to mental capacity, Profess
sor Shier says there is ground for believ-
ing that the proportion OF mentally in
firm people is far greater among left
handed than among ambidextrous
people.
