Cattle plague" is a war disease.
1t appeared in France after the
Franco -Prussian war. and was at

1t had not been heard Of in
France since 1871 until IL suddenly
appeared a few weeks ago at Ant

from India to Rio Janeiro were
turned into the cattle pens at Ant
werp. Some Of them died during
the transfer.
Later on several hundred head Of
cattle were turned into the pens
which the zebus had occupied and
IL was among this consignment Of
cattle that the plague first showed.
Scores OF the animals succumbed
to IL.
A serum. il is said, has been used
with success against the disease in
Egypt, India and South Africa. But
there is none available in France.

France would hail him as the new

London, Sept. 25.-An open heart
Is much commoner than an open
mind. Both are needed for our talk,
but the more urgent demand is. as
usual, for the rarer commodity.
Most people who advocate the
wrong thing honestly think 1t, and
are honestly convinced that they
are in the right. That is the trag-
edy-and the great obstacle. The
London man-about-town, who per-
haps has never done a stroke Of
work in his life. passionately and
sincerely announces the claims of
labor" The extreme wing Of ia
Dor" will concede nothing to brains
and leadership. Both lack the open
mind
The difhculties. then, are obvious
ly great Nevertheless, the omens
are favorable with regard to the
two great evils which we have
touched upon here. There is a de-
termination against aggressive war
of a strength and solidity such as,
I think, has never been known be-
fore. The well-to-do classes have
submitted to unparalleled taxation
with notable good temper. Labor
has made some mistakes but
broadly it's claims are no more than
the general conscience recognizes to
be reasonable and just. Men OF dif-
ferent nations and different classes
are more ready to hear one another
to argue and discuss, and to settle
matters according to the merits OF
the case. If this temper holds and
grows, there is good hope.
And IL society were once free OF
militarism and OF grinding poverty,
what a difference on the earth!
Then we might hope, without fool
ishness, that in time all other
things would be added unto us.

London, Sept 25.-At the Bristoi
Quarter Sessions. for the first time
in modern years, a mixed jury was
empaneled to try criminal cases and
e. a British courtroom echoed 70 the
call, ladies and gentlemen OF the
Jury" With that salutation British
women resumed an ancient right
that fell into disuse many centuries
ago, and henceforth, as In the Mid
die Ages, women jurors will be no
novelty in Great Britain.
The occasion, although preceded
by much discussion, was entirely un-
spectacular when it arrived The
women jurors were quiet. sensible
women belonging to the middle
class, and they performed their un-
accustomed duties with dignity and
good sense.
Ask for Dismissal
At the close of the first days sit
ting one asked IL she could be ex-
cused from future attendance on ac-
count of her family. She had three
children whom she could not leave
another day. Another made a SINH
lar request because. she had shop
to look after. They were excused,

At the end Of the week, in dis
charging the jury, the Recorder, Mr..
r. z. Dummett, remarked that
while IL was a new experience to
him to use the phrase, Ladies and
Gentlemen of the Jury" 1t was one
he had enjoyed. He expressed
great pleasure at the able way In
which the women had dealt with
the dificult cases before them and
congratulated them on taking AT
last their proper place in the juris-
diction Of the country.
Figure In Old Records
But though The woman juror is
q novelty in England today. she
is in reality only resuming an
ancient right; for in old records
women Jurors figure largely and are
