Says the Utica Press: The Court
is the judge of the law, and the jury
| is the judge of the fact. In order
to secure exact and even handed JUS
tice it is necessary to have good
| jurors.
Says the Baltimore American. 1t is
quite apparent that high priced beef

| The Trenton father who sends word
concerning his runaway boy that as
he has eight children left he does not
care whether or not the truant re-
turns may be very loving parent,
Appearances, thinks the Philadelphia
Ledger, sometimes are so deceptive.
AS the Cape Cod canal will cause
the traveller to evade treacherou5
shoals and fogs, suggests the Boston
Post, so its opening will dispel the
fog in the minds Of those who doubt
that Boston is entering upon career
OF domineering prosperity.
In brief, smoking is not mere
matter of drugging the system, nor
even of acquiring a certain taste in
The mouth; the sense of sight enters
into it considerably and imagination
most of all. How else, asks the SYRIA
cuse Post-Standard, shall we account
for the fact that no smoker can tell
with his eyes shut and his hands tied
whether his cigar is alight or not
If the Powers could be actuated by
the spirit that guided the United
States in it's relations with Cuba the
future of Turkey would be much
brighter than it is at present, insists
the Schenectady Union. Greed and
jealousy, however, will in all proba-

same old conditions under new
ruler
Nine-tenths of the fruit sold in
large cities is better on top of the
packages than it is in the bottom.
Farmers, laments the Agricultural
Epitcmist, who put up stuff in that
way expect retail customers to pay
good money for it, and they expect
the bottom cents to be just as large
and just as valuable as are the cents
on top.
A small holder in East LeXham IS
making an interesting experiment in
barley growing upon his land to test
the possibility of raising corn on
small scale. In 1907, relates the Lon
don Standard, he sowed seventy-eight
specially selected grains Of barley,
which yielded 400 ears. The result
ing kernels he sowed in 1908 and har-
vested in fourteen weeks, with the
result that he got bushel of thresh-
ed barley, which he has sown this
year, his object being to show what
can be done in cereal cultivation from
very small beginnings.
The discomforts of what the writer
calls summer "boreding" are dweit
upon by Grace Graham in Putnam's
with an emphasis that be-
speaks an intimate acquaintance with
the experiences that few of us have
succeeded in escaping. when I have
finally engaged board for the sum-
ner." says the writer, Il always look
1t every one l pass in the street with
renewed interest. How can l tell
which OF the women may be embrac-
ne her husband and spanking her
,hld in my company for weeks? or
which of the men l may meet when,
n dressing-gown and slippers, soap

We scramble for the bathroom-i
