Foreigners Help Enforce Food Laws

names Olive oil labeled Lucca has
been found by the pure-food inspec-
tors coming from Greece and from
from Lucca itself.
The government is now taking up
the question of requiring the numer-
Gus varieties of coffee imported into
this country to be honestly labeled.
A recent meeting of the pure-food
board was held for the purpose of
taking testimony regarding the label
ing of Brazilian coffee. After hear
ing testimony from experts present
showing that the practise has grown
up of labelling coffee with the name
Of the port whence it is shipped re-
gardless of the place of origin, Doctor
Wiley stated that an effort would be
made to reform this practise, which
the importers admitted to be wrong,
and that the matter would be proper
ly taken up in due form with the
government of Brazil through the
state department, to the end that the
Brazilian coffees, which form by far
the greater part of the coffee used in
the United States, should be sold
under their proper designation.
Prominent importers from New
York testified that Brazilian coffee
had been shipped to Arabia in order
that it might be reimported from
Alden as Mocha coffee, and they said
that the practise was still In force, al
though, as DR.. Wiley remarked, the
dealers did not always go to the trou-
BILE of shipping coffee to Arabia for re-
export before branding it as fine Ara

High Court Decides Rights of Jurors

forbidden free converse with family
and friends. In theory jurors are
ministers of justice, a part OF the
court. They are chosen as honest
men from the worthy citizens, and
they serve not as suspects, but as
honorable officials. They lose no priv
ileges as members of the community
when they are called to assist the
Judge by rendering verdict. Experi-
enee shows the need of guarding
jurors from tampering and sinister
approach, but this must be done with
cut sacrificing their liberty. That
rural Juror had much sense on his
side when he asked: "lf we can't
read the papers and must be kept to-
gether incommunicado' why should
not the judge be treated in the same
way?"
The tribunal of final resort decides
that Jurors do not cease to be free
citizens and do not leave their con-
sciences at home when they enter the
box If they are fit for their duties
at all they can be trusted to read pa
pers and listen to lawyers and they
need not be herded all the while in a
mass while case Is on.
The Supreme court thus gives it's
influence in favor of proper privileges
and courteous treatment to the picked
men who are summoned to help hold
steady the scales of justice.
Often jury service is irksome and it
cannot be wise to add to it's hardships
beyond what is necessary The sys-
TEN is a vital part of the defenses of
society and Of property

Something Definite.

Angelina Spring, in spite of the
beatific sound of her name, had a
bad temper. One day she insisted
on crying, and protested, when the
question was put often enough to
elicit an answer that she had a
pain" Exactly where, she would
not or could not describe. Her per-
sistent fretting finally won for her
a vigorous spanking.
After the punishment there was
quiet. A caller came, and heard the
tale.
"YoGsee. "said Mrs. Spring, "she
kept skNing that it hurt her. but
she wqaHn't say where. So there
seemedSho other way to stop her
bawlin@han, to spank her."
"Kinds of localizing the pain?'
suggested the visitor.

One of the tendencies of ill health
is to make one morbid. People w4o

The Absent Mindedness of Genius.

The absent mindedness of great
thinkers is well known phenome-
non. When Morse had completed his
wonderful telegraphic system he con-
fessed to difficulty which appeared
to him almost insurmountable. "As
long as poles can be used" he said
to friend one day, sit is easy. But
what must be done when we come
to bridge? We cannot use poles
there, and the wire would break of
its own weight without some sup
port" Well" replied the friend.
why not fix the wires to the
bridge?" Morse looked at him
thoughtfully for a moment, and then
exclaimed. Il never thought of that.
It's the very thing" This instance
of mental concentration on one lead
ing idea to the exclusion of all others
is almost as remarkable as that told
of Sir Isaac Newton, who cut a hole
in his study door to allow his favor
lite cat to come and go freely, and
then cut smaller one for the use

VETASHINGTON.-The Supreme court
w of the United States has decided
a case which involved the proper
treatment of jurors. Because jurors
had been permitted to separate and
to read newspapers during trial
the court was asked to set aside the
verdict. The case was a conviction
for murder at military barracks in
the state of Washington, where the
jury had been allowed to be present
while counsel argued about tie ad-
mission OF alleged confessions as evil
dence. The Supreme court holds.
in an opinion written by Justice
Holmes, that the presence of the jury
during the argument was not wrong,
and that the members might rightly
read newspapers and need not be kept
together as a body.
The decision upsets the common
practise of trial courts. In important
cases, notably those for murder,
jurors are kept under surveillance,
almost as prisoners. In their selec-
ton their intelligence is questioned
and knowledge of current events
made ground for challenge. Then
they are marched ard and from the
court room after the fashion of a
chain gang in custody of an officer,

Famous Epicures.

In the ceiling of the dining room
in Nero's golden house." on the
Palatine hill, were compartments in
laid with ivory which revolved,
showering perfumes and flowers on
the guests. Flowers were presented
to the guests by slaves. They were
crowned with wreaths. Usually after
one course the tables were removed
and others placed before the guests.
Throughout the meal drinking con-
tinued until the banqueters fell un-

days men lived to eat. Great gem
erals spent fortunes accumulated
in years of warfare in gratifying
their appetites. Lucullus on one din
