Some Animals Can't Swin,

According to the best authorities, all
animals. excepting monkeys and per.
haps the three-toed sloth, either swim
naturally or go through the mo.
tions of swimming when suddenly i'm.
mersed in water. There are. however,
several animals that. although they
swim naturally, drown as they swim.
This is the case with rabbits, mice,
moles and the smaller cats, drowning
being the result Of the fur becoming
saturated.

An attractive visitor from Tracy City, Tenn. Miss Sarah Hines. who is visiting Mrs. James Keith and two brides of the early winter, Mrs. Tom Mayberry (Sarah Eubank McCarty) and Mrs. Alfred McCarty Leath Jet toni, who has been the inspiration of several lovely parties. were again com plimented yesterday afternoon. when Mrs. James Keith was charming hos tess, entertaining with one of the loveli- est parties of the pre-lenten season, a bridge tea.
 The house was adorned with bright spring flowers in artistic arrangement and after series of games tea was served from beautifully appointed table with a central motif of jonquils and rose tulips. Rose tapers burned to silver holders. casting soft glow over the scene Mrs. Hubert Scruggs and Mrs. Richard Massey presided at the tea and coffee urns.

 Those invited to play bridge were Miss Hines. Mrs. Mayberry, Mrs. Me Carty. Mrs. Forest Robinson, Mrs. Huston Brice. Mrs. Edmund Armes, Mrs. w. R. Gum, Mrs. Joe Franklin, Mrs. Lee Poe.

 Later in the afternoon seventy-five members of the society set called for

their emotions than men are. and that generally women jurors arrived at more correct verdict in criminal cases than .men.
 In refutation of the claim that wom- en would decide a case by their hearts instead of their heads, Assistant Attor- ney Pratt of Minnesota, cites murder case he recently prosecuted where the jury was half men and half women.
 'The wife of the defendant had a small baby in court, of which much was made" he relates, rand noticed that the women jurors were visibly affected by the exhibition and that their emo- ti0ns and sympathies were strongly en- gnged. At least two were in tears when they retired, but the verdict of guilty was promptly returned"
 Thus the women juror justified, as anybody who knows anything about women could have told you all along she would be.
 For the feminine sex has all the qualities that go to make good juror -quickness in apprehension and catch ing point; keen observation sym pathy tempered by cynicism; undying curiosity; intuition that enables her to guess right nine times out of ten ; a personal experience in camouflage that makes her able to see through nre- tense and tell what is done for effect and, at least, a fair sence of justice.
 Also, every mother of q family has had daily experience for years in hearing both sides of the quarrels be- tween her children and between her servants and thus is skilled in settling delicate points of ethics and law.
 Of course, in. a country in which the very palladium of our liberties is the right to be tried by jury of our peers there should always have been women jurors, because no exclusively man jury is any more capable of un- derstanding the reactions of a woman than any jury composed wholly of wom- en is capable of probing, the motives of a man. Men and women are never equal. They are always in different classes.
 Therefore, in especial, every crime ''passionel, as the French say, and every case involving the relationships of men and women, and every case in which children are concerned, should be tried-before a mixed jury of both men and women. ;e
 This would alter many verdicts, be- cause an American jury composed en- tirely of the sterner sex is sentimental

Delicate colors in washing ma terials will not fade if before be- ing washed they are soaked in ,tepid water to which a few drops of turpentine have been added.
 If you add one teaspoon of cold water to the white of each egg it will make more and better frosting for pudding or pie.
 Tiled hearths should be washed with soft soap and rinsed with little milk.
 It is not generally realized that the inside of windows catch more dirt than the outsides. Try rub ping them inside every day with a clean cloth, and you will find that they will not require washing near ly so often.
