JURIES IN FRANCE. r Thty Enjoy Groat Latitude and Are Not Tangled In Red Tape. If the position of jurors is unenviable nowadays it must have been almost unendurable in England centuries ago. If they could not agree they were re-enforced by the addition of other jurors, and if the newcomers did agree on a verdict the first twelve jurors were im- j mediately arrested and imprisoned j and their lands and chattels forfeit ed to the king. At a later period | the wives and children of such jury-1 men were ordered out of their; ' ? 4- A*?n rl rvttrr* I nomes, men uvusn iviu uunu, their trees rooted up and their j meadows plowed. When a French jury is selected j two substitutes are also chosen, who attend all sessions of the oourt, occupying seats with the audience and listening to all the testimony. If any of the jurors falls ill one or the other of these men is called upon to take his place. A hung jury is impossible in a trial in France, for unanimity of opinion is not required. The verdict is determined by a majority vote, and only one ballot is ever necessary. A tie means acquittal. At the close of each day's session the French juror is permitted to go to his home and about his customary pursuits. He has taken no oath of secrecy, given no pledge to abstain from a discussion of the ease or the reading of newspaper comments. At night he relates to his fnmilv thp inridents of the dav. re ceives their opinions and reads the impressions of the reporters who are covering the trial. A juror serving in a case of great importance frequently finds that two daily newspapers for which he has never subscribed are being delivered at his home. One strongly favors the prosecution; the other champions the cause of the defense. The enterprising lawyers are careful to see that no favorable comment escapes his notice.?Xew York Sun. Tolaranca. Tolerance is a calm, generous respect for the opinions of others, even the opinions of one's enemies. Tolerance is silent justice blended with sympathy. Tolerance always implies wisdom and kindness. It seeks to convert others from error . by gently raising them to higher ideals, by honestly leading them to j broader lines of thinking and by pa- 11 tiently helping them to help them- U selves. Tolerance does not use the / battering ram of argument or the club of sarcasm or the deadly rapier of ridicule. ^ Scandinavian Flags. i J ?? ci " i n _ ?_ l x* II ine i*>weaisn nag is oiaer man the flag of Norway. Sweden has flown the yellow cross on the pale hlne field since Gustavus Vasa became king in 1523, and the independence of Sweden from Denmark was acknowledged. Norway had no political existence as a separate kingdom until 1814, when 6he "seceded** from Denmark and adopted as her flag a device made by superimposing a blue cross on the white cross of the Danish flag. Clay's Famous Maxim. Henry Clay, though he favored a high tariff in 1833, introduced a bill reducing the then existing duties. Its object was to pacify the agricultural states which had objected vehemently. In South Carolina the opposition had taken a very serious form. His friends told Clay that his chances for the presidency would be injured, when his reply was the famous sentence, "I'd rather be right than president of the United States." He Remembered. "Harold," said his mother, "you forgot to wipe your shoes when you ; came in." "No, I didn't, mother," protested Harold. "Honest and truly I , didn't." "Then how do you account for all this mud on my best rug ?" "Why?er?I guess thafs where I wiped them." ? St. Louis PostPispatch. i Sahara's Oases.

E-68 [j * Eyes With Double Pupils. Cicero says that "the glance oi all women with the double pupil in the eye is noxious, blighting and withering." Cadmus tells us that such persons would not drown. Still others say that if they did drown the body would never sink, neither would it decay. They could cure the disease of the chest?consumption?by rubbing their perspiration on the affected parts of the individual, and in case the double pupils were red instead of black they could cure the lepers and the blind.
