Meat For JurYnen.

At one time it was the common duty
of both the plaintiff and defendant in
an action to provide refreshments for
the jury empaneled to try it, and from
this arose the practice (Which surviv-
ed until 1870 of denying them "meat,
drink or fire" while deliberating upon
their verdict. Later on it became usu-
al for the person in whose favor the
verdict was given to offer the jury a
dinner and sometimes a guinea or SO
for their trouble. This practice led to
so much abuse that it was found nee
essary to pass law prohibiting it

month; the state industrial commits

twenty-five trillion miles long, sub

expressed would be nine times as great

But no human can think of the dis

miles to the east; then a row could be
extended toward the west. Many mil
