Edueatine Jurxn,en In Law.

Not often does a judge turn a jury man out of his box-to the juryman's content, one may suspect. The rela- tions are generally very cordial. Some time ago. when juryman asked a question which settled ease, MT. Jus tice Bucknill wrote to congratulate him, and said that q man who has served his country on 8 jury became a more useful citizen. The great Lord Msnsfeld. who had implicit faith in trial by jury, took such pains to edu- cate them in commercial law at the Guildhall that for some time there was a body of gentlemen in the city known as "Lord Nansfeld's jurymen- don Chronicle.

 Very popular with the younger peo- pie, small turbans are made in combi- nations of black velvet with white silk or satin and trimmed with fancy feathers or wings.

Now that industry has become fash ionable and everyone is knitting or crocheting or doing some sort of needlework, the evidences of the 'keep-busy" fad blossom out in all di- rections. The family, from baby to grandma, revels in pretty things in the way of dress accessories, and the house is decked out with fine spe- cimens of needlecraft.
 Among the most successful of all the articles knitted or crocheted, baby bonnets, hats for little girls, and bou- doir caps and hats for grown-ups tes- tify to the adaptability of this kind of work to headwear. Baby bonnets, either knitted or crocheted of silk, have long been among the coveted luxuries that each mother manages somehow to secure. They are very durable and very beautiful. Crocheted headwear is somewhat expensive, and one must either have the time and knowledge of the work required, to make it. or be prepared to pay the price which elegant, handmade things Will bring.
 The small knitted hat of silk shown in the picture is moderately priced at four or five dollars. It is knitted of heavy silk thread in cream color, and consists of cap which covers the crown of the head and a frill of lace. knitted of the same silk as the cap. It is finished with a tassel made of the silk.

 Mob Spirit and the Ticker.
 The mob spirit in the place is con tagious. What else would have per suaded that dignifed, elderly man to buy a ticket for the Mammoth Tick Ter or for this contrivanee which hurls you about at breakneck speed. rack ing your nerves as you sit erouched in seats just large enough for two. Sometimes the watchers see some of the merrymakers come off that roller coaster with a white line about the mouth and strained look in their eyes. It is not their instinctive idea of pleasure to be rushed down a steep slope with such terrible force that their breath is beaten out of them and they gasp and eringe But what if they are pale and shaky as they step off, there is an expression in the line of their closely drawn lips which shows that they have determined that what must be must be, and they are on pleasure bent, suffer what tortures they may.
 n a uroG hn pl 10 nj of adults came over me after seeing some hundreds of children on this particular Sunday afternoon, who were plainly there just because their fa- thers and mothers had wanted to come Never have l seen such utter boredom and weariness written on any faces as was depicted on those of the many children who pushed their tired way along. down among the knees of the crowd, while their elders, with their heads in the air, took in the de- lights of the place. Some were being carried, too utterly exhausted to do anything but droop heavily over their fathers shoulder, not caring to open an eye to see the snake-charmer as the parent stopped fascinated before her.
 You couldn't help seeing on the train coming home that it was the pa- rents. not the children, who must have wanted to come and for whom Coney Island was wonderland The former lay limp in their parents laps, sound asleep, while the grownups talked and laughed over their heads. It was the children who had been patient and long-suffering, and it was the parents who had really enjoyed themselves
