Jury Duty.

In swearing in a jury in the superior
court, Chicago, recently Judge Kava-
nagh took occasion to rebuke jury
dodgers and to exalt the service that
Jurors give the public. 1.-THE general
idea that jury service is onerous is a
mistaken one," said the court. II don't
believe that any n who has ever
served two weeks on a jury would ex-
change his experiences. Jury service
calls for the highest order Of intelii-
gence and for the most honorable Of
men. 1t is not alone a privilege to
serve as a juror, but 1t is an honor"

Labeled.

A few years ago Miss Ethel Barry
more, the actress, was beseiged by q
number of artists who begged the
privilege Of making sketches Of her
pretty face. Too gracious to refuse
she freely granted permission In every
case. Among those for whom Miss
Barrymore posed was a young artist
of the impressionist school, who, after
considerable labor, produced a CHASTITY
yellow and green portrait which was
supposed by the budding artist, at
least, to be q likeness Of the actress.
When It was finished the painter
bravely took it to Miss Barrymore and
asked her to sign it and write some
thing or other-some little sentiment
above her signature.
Miss Barrymore gasped as she looked
at the wretched portrait and then
quickly pulling herself together, smiled
and wrote:
"This is not a sunset; it is Ethel
Barrymore"

The Inspiration of Purpose.

The great thing in life is not in real
izing a purpose, but in fighting for it.
If we feel the possibilities of a great
work looming up large before us and
impelling us to action 1t is our duty
to c%onsecrate ourselves to it. Failure
in a great work is nobler than success
in a petty one that is beneath our max
imum of possibility. We have nothing
to do with results; they do not belong
to us anyway. 1t is our duty to do our
best bravely and rest in the sweet
comfort Of this fact alone.--Circle

New Musical Instrument.

The dulcitone Of Thomas Machell Of
Glasgow has the keyboard Of a piano,
but the key hammers produce sound
by striking steel forks-like shankless
tuning forks-instead Of wires. A
semicircular steel spring carries the
vibrations from each fork to the
sounding board. The tone is softer
than that of the piano, but it has great
clearness and carrying power and is
adapted For solo playing as we'll as
for accompanying other instruments
or the voice. Important advantages
are the lack of necessity Of tuning and
the portability. A dulcitone of five
octaves weighs but forty-ive pounds,
while Il piano of the same has 4
weight Of $50 pounds or more.

At a ball in Edinburgh a we'll known

a partner for one Of her guests, asked
a gentleman if she might introduce
him to a young lady.
"Oh, yes" he drawled affectedly.
"Trot her out"
This was overheard by the intended

native wit as well as her beauty. So
when the youth was introduced to her
she calmly surveyed him from head to
foot and then quietly said:
"Thank you Now trot him back,

Abdul Hands Deceptive Horoscope.

Abdul HamId's Deceptive Horoscope.
Before the late Sultan Abdul Hamid
came to the throne, so the story goes,
an a%strologer cast his horoscope, which
predicted a surprisingly brilliant fu-
ture for Abdul Hamid, foretelling,
among other things, that he would be-
come the heir of Oslnan II rule over
much more territory than OSman."
That horoscope was very badly cast,
for the Turkish empire began to shrink
from the day he became sultan, and,
as far as European Turkey is con-
cerned, over 10000 square miles, more
than one-half the total he inherited in
1876, passed from his control during
the thirty years of his reign. In Afri-
can Turkey England is supreme in
Egypt and France in Tunis, and across
the Red sea the revolt in the Yemen
has practically won the Arabs indie
pendence. In Asia Minor alone have
the dominions Of the sultan remained
intact, but the 100000 square miles
they comprise are but a small portion
of the empire in western Asia con
quered in the fourteenth century by
Osman L., the founder Of the Turkish
Gazette.

Must Learn TO Buy.

Mrs. Ellen 81. Richards Of the In

is regarded as an authority on domes-
tic science subjects, says that it is i'm
possible for woman to buy wisely
when she Is not conversant with the
way articles are manufactured and
what they contain Women used to be
better buyers when they spun and
made their own garments. They could
look over the work Of some one else
and Judge 1t wisely and know what
1t was worth. but they cannot do
thar now. The remedy. she says. lies
in educating women In the manufac-
ture and construction Of household
articles. The average woman does not
know the kind Of picture. ornament or
work of art that she is buying. She
has to take the word Of some clerk.
and 1t stands to reason that she should
know as much about 1t as he. A
whole college course Is not too long.

COACHING WOMEN OF FASHION
Teaching Them the News Of the Day .

1t would seem that no woman should
be altogether discouraged so long as
new occupations develop as they have
during the last decade. In London
there is already new calling which
was noticed for the first time this
spring in numbers sufficient to entitle
It to rank among the recognized trades
Of women who have to support them
selves.
The claims on the time Of woman
of society in the swiftest whirl of Lon
don life are now so great that she
cannot be expected to keep up with
the latest news Of the world. the
smartest talk about the new books or
even the latest notes of fashion. With
her social duties and their necessary
preparation she has her hands full.
1t is to supply her with these neces-
sary attributes for conversation that
intelligent young women in London
are devoting their time. They go once
a week, sometimes daily. and while
their patrons are in the hands Of the
hairdresser, their maid or even their
dressmakers they talk to them about
the Interesting affairs of the day, tell
ing them just what is new in politics,
art and literature. In this way my
lady is able to acquire sufficient infor-
nation to appear with credit.
1t sometimes happens that one of
these universal providers Of small talk
may literally coach her employer for
some particular function she is going
to attend. whether 1t be a dinner that
will demand certain amount of &C.
quaintance with politics or science or
literature. Her duty is to make these
subjects as clear and comprehensive
as she can in as short time as posi-
