The Beiliss Jury.

From Harper's Weekly.
When Mendel Beiliss was acquitted,
after a two years utterly occasionless
incarceration, of ritual murder" at
Kiev, the verdict of mot guilty was
rendered by a jury of six peasants,
three minor government officials, two
tradesmen and one professional man
ordinary men, rather below the aver
age. as q whole, in education and in
tellect. 1t was by common sense, a
most precious gift widespread among
men, that they saw through the sew
eral weeks of obfuscations by theo-
logians and experts. Another gift
this Jury had was explained in an OBJ
servation reported of member OF the
Duma: "A Russian peasants con-
science will not allow him to find a
man guilty when he sees no proof.
An ingenious writer, who surely has
forgotten that he ever read LIE Bon $
book on 1.-THE Crowd: A Study of
Beiliss," is a cheerful sign. 1t demon
strates that the fair temper shown
during the trial by the more educated
classes has permeated the lower. Are
we. then, to assume that high officials
and journalists. official or otherwise,
are not of the educated classes
knowledge and wisdom are far from
synonymous terms.
In the famous bank fraud case
Robin fooled all the insanity experts,
those called by the prosecution as
we'll as those called by the defense,
but the jury found him out.

Horse Meat Cured In Canada.
From the st. John IN. b. Globe.
Science and time have shown that
many apparently simple things are in
reality wells of hidden meaning. This
applies TO a supposedly nonsensical
nursery jingle concerning the antics
of q COW who used the moon as
hurdle. One has only to inquire as
to the market price of beef to find
the connection. 1t also gives point
to the statement that Canada has
plant for curing horse meat, situ-
ated a few miles from Montreal. On
the DeauIlIul ROAD between Long ueH
and Boucherville. according to the
Montreal Herald. a branch OF a IA
nous Swedish factory has been es-
tablished. This firm-Merrum' Sis
worldwide in its operations. or. to
be absolutely correct, ships its goods
to all countries whose inhabitants
use horse flesh for food. The sale of
it as yet is illegal in Canada. The
factory at Longueil was started but
two or three months ago; the opera
tors and assistants are Swedes, sent
to Canada especially for the work.
The plant as yet is but a small one,
killing now, as stated by It's manager,
but thirty head of horses a week. 1t
is proposed, however. to build within
a short time an abattoir 10Ox5O feet, |
with comfortable and suitable other |
in which 100 horses may be
disposed of in a week.

Too Much Parent.
From the christian RegIster.

From the CnrlSIian Register.
Parentitis is a disease name not
found in books. The thing it de-
scribes is in every family where a
parent and grown-up children live
together. 1t comes from the survival
of the parental instinct long after
there is any use for 1t, and from the
Inflammation caused by its unwel-
come exercise. Children get weaned
from their parents. 1t is advisable
for their fathers and mothers to get
weaned from them. The inces-
SAINT and ubiquitous watchful-
ness over a generation old
enough to take care of itself is un-
WISE ineffective and harmful. 1t pulls
up roots that must be let alone, if
they are to take root, 1t strains the
will to obey the fifth commandment
to the breaking point It forces de-
ception or concealment on any self
respecting youth. 1t is sure to end
in sorrow and bitterness. Every
parent ought to be able to alter the
words of the apostle and say of his
children, When they were children l
thought of them as children; but
when they became men and women 1

From the New York Sun.
It may seem almost ungracious to
comment upon the, story told by DR..
Maria Montessori of the cardinal who
distributed sweetmeatS one day
among the children in her school:
"They examined their prizes Gag
erly. One by one they ran to his emil
nence, exclaiming: This is a triangle,
This is a square, This is a cube.
They did not eat until they had de-
scribed the shape of the gift.
Why, this is a miracle, madam,
said the cardinal
The shrewd and kind cardinal may
well have wondered and had his
doubts. What a chasm between the
natural child and these fortunate
pupils of DIR. Montessori's amiable
system Charming children, too. these
happy and gifted Montessorians; but

The abbot of the older Russian o.

he would put disposal Of patronage
squarely up to the heads of the vari-

Issued a statement in the first per

Allowed a dozen newspaper pho,
tographers free run of the outer of.
fees, where they snapped photographs
of the presidents callers. They also
swarmed into Tumulty's office and
took photographs of him at work.
There was virtually ne red tape
at the executive offices. The usual
