Colorado is about to amend the State

my daughter would be chosen for service

many criminal cases in which it would

This may be considered the view of
what the so-called ''progressives'' call a
reactlonary. 1T was the women who

L cannot see why they should not serve
on juries if they want to do it, and this
we may assume. is the progressive
view. Some of US who are old-fashioned
in our ideas. who believe that woman's
proper sphere is the home. and that in
her elevated morals is the hope and bull
wark of society. do not like this new
woman who drinks cocktails, smokes
cigarettes who desires to engage act
lively in militant politics. and sit on
juries, and do pretty much everything
that men do. The wave of progressive

the country has taken some Of our most
lovable women off their feet and has

chivalry that had such a beautiful illus

coast, are the principal places in this
country where experiments in sponge
culture have been made. The various
methods are as follows: Seed sponges
are cut into small pieces. and, after hav-

to circular or triangular cement blocks,
are dropped or lowered depending upon
the depth to rest on the ocean bottom,
where they remain for year or two.

mercial purposes. They are then taken
by the hook, when new cuttings are at

again.
Another method was to string them on
a wire held horizontal by stakes driven
in the bottom. In doing this, however,
various difficulties arose. The sponges
became loose and rotated on the wire,
charging the hole made through them.
and destroyed the wires, until, after
many trials and experiments, led wire

British Red Tape.

From the London Chronicle.
An inquisitive member of the House OF
Commons was struck one day by the
presence of a policeman in one of the
Hobbies. He wondered why this particu-
lar lobby should always have a guar
dian strolling up and down. and made
inquiries. The records of the house
were searched, and it was found that
fifty years previously, when the lobby
was being decorated, a policeman had
been stationed there to keep members
from soiling their clothes The order
never having been countermanded, the
constable had kept his beat for half
century.
