Oliver Hazard Perry was born IN

was fighting blood in his veins. For
generations back his ancestors had
been 70 the forefront IN Englar =

struggle came on between the MothVr
Country and the American COLONIES
his kinsmen fought like tigers for the
patriot cause.

An excellent proposal has been
made by Director Durand of the
census bureau to the farmers
throughout the country with a view
to obtaining accurate reports in the
agricultural, census to be taken next
year He advises farmers to make
a more or less detailed record of
their operations during this present
year in order to cooperate with the
census taker who will visit them next
April. 1t is assumed. of course, that
the bookkeeping of the average farm
is quite as we'll looked after as the
other departments of farm work,
but il is pointed out that the entries
made this year should be in line with
points to be covered in the census.

Eleven Verdicts a Day.

Jesse Macy, writing about the
great advantages of the procedure
of English courts over American, in
MCCLURE's, dwells upon the SPLEEN
did work of English juries:
1.-THE working Of the British jury
system exhibits a marked contrast
with that of our own. It's possible
that my experience in British courts
was exceptional, but in not a single
instance did | see q juror challenged
or rejected. In all of the courts re-
quiring juries the necessary number
of men were present and were sworn
in without question. In the Sheriff's
Deputy Court in Scotland presiding
Judge gave notice to the jury that
he expected to adjourn the court at
two o'clock, and stated that if they
could all remain until that hour he
would at once dismiss the men who
had been called for a second panel.
The jurors conferred together and
agreed to remain till one o'clock,
whereupon the Judge notified the
other men to appear at twelve-thir-
ty. The one jury empaneled for the
morning session rendered six YER
diets in cases involving prosecutions
for thefts, fraud, and burglary. In
a Court of Quarter Sessions at Taun-
ton, England. | saw single jury in
one day render eleven verdicts. l
found that it was customary in the
several sorts of court that | attend
ed for the same jury to act in sue
cessive cases. In no instance did |
see a jury leave their seats to make
up their verdict"
Usually the issue before them was
made so plain that all who gave at.
tention knew in advance what the
decision would be. | made note of
an exceptional instance of delay,
when the court was forced to wait
nine minutes for the report of he
jury. In this case the judge who !
gave the instructions was himself in /
doubt as to what the verdict ought .
to be.
A Scottish jury consists of fifteen /
persons, and majority may render
a verdict In England the number
is twelve. and unanimity is required. !
But noted no difference as to prac-
tical results in the two countries.
The twelve men in the English jury
were as prompt and certain in their
action as were the eight out of
fifteen in the Scottish jury"
