THE FETTERS OF CUSTOM

curious and pathetic feature appears in the case
of an old Italian held in Buffalo for deportation
The man is said to have been convicted of murder
in Italy about 40 years ago. and sentenced to imprlson
ment for life He served 36 years in Jail, and then es
capped or was pardoned-the matter is in dispute The
curious fact is that when he was arrested in Buffalo,
where he was running little grocery he was found
to have established sleeping quarters in tiny cell
under the store, with one barred window.
1t was almost a replica of the prison cell where
he had slept so many years. The only improvement he
allowed himself was kerosene lamp.
Custom is strong, when unpleasant. There
was the Prisoner of Chillon who "reganed his free
dom with a sigh" John Boyle OReilly the famous
Irish patriot was observed by friend in Boston
to have habit of pacing back and FORTH when in deep
thought with absolute regularity PAGES forward
and seven PAGES back. When asked why he did So he
looked puzzled for moment, then remarked that his
Australian prison cell had given him just room enough
for that Life forms all strangely in thousand
ways.

STUDYING JURIES

What would men from Mars think of the Ameri-
can jury system? We may get idea of that uti-
matey, when japanese commission studying the
system makes it report The Japanese the ordinary
American mind, almost distant Martians in
geography and outlook. The Anglo-Saxon jury is
new thing to them, and they can view it with fresh
minds.
What will they discover? Among many excellent
things, perhaps these?
That often jury openly thwarts justice, because
one or two members of dozen do not agree with
the rest. The japanese may think it odd that unanm
ity should be required of jury political system
where maorities rule in other matters, and in legal
system where majority of Judges suffces for court
decision.
They will discover that often jury knows he is
is guilty of the offense charged against him.
They will discover that ignorant jurors are pre-
ferred to intelligent and we'll informed the re-

is related that when Charles W. Elliot president
emeritus Of Harvard and one OF the nations outstand-
ing thinkers 81 years DID, two opportunities pre-
sented themselves to him in the same year. He
young chemist and had been teaching and studying
chemistry after his graduation from Harvard in 1853
One of the two opportunities offered him chem
istry professorship at. the newly opened Massachu
sets Institute of Technology, at $4,000 year. The
other opportunity offered him the position of super
ntendent of the Merrmac Mills at Lowell, at $4,000
year.
Young Elliot chose teaching instead of business
And now writer in The Nations Business wonders
what would have happened if he had chosen the larger
offer. Would he have died rich and unhonored? Or
would he have come to greater things than the
presidency OF Harvard?'

character and personality of the would have
verted the business opening into stepping stone to
larger usefulness and to ultimate greatness just did
the teaching However his personality and ideals
led him to choose the professorshp and that rather
closes the door to further speculation the subject
Considerable comment might be summed up in the
question "Who did take the superintendency at the
mills, and what impress did he leave the world?
