A gentleman who once served on an Irish jury tells an amusing story of his experiences. When the hearing was over and the jury retired to their room to consider their verdict they found that they stood eleven to one in favor of an acquittal, but the one happened to be a very complacent old gentleman who rested his chin upon the head of a thick bamboo cane and announced de fiantly that he was ready to stay there as long as any of them. The hours dragged on, evening ar rived. and the old gentleman obstinate ly held out. The other jurors wearily arranged themselves to make a night of it. From time to time the old gentle man would contemplatively suck the head of the cane. Finally he fell asleep, and the cane dropped heavily to the floor. Then one of the jurymen picked it up and found, to his surprise, that it was nearly full of Irish whisky. The eleven passed the cane round, relieved it of its con tents and then awakened its slumber ing owner. Slowly he lifted the cane to his mouth, looked at his watch and then arose with the annonncement, "Boys, I'm afther changin' me moind.' -London Telegraph. Inheritance of the Blind. The blind child-the deaf blind child -has inherited the mind of seeing and hearing ancestors, a mind measured tc five senses. Therefore he must be in fluenced, even if it be unknown to him self, by the light, color, song, whic: have been transmitted through the languaga he is taught, for the cham bers of the mind are ready to receive that language. The brain of the race is so permeated with color that it dye: even the speech of the blind. Evers object I think of is stained with the hue that belongs to it by associatiot and memory. The experience of the deaf blind person In a world of seeing hearing people is like that of a sailor on an island where- the inhabitant: speak a language unknown to him, whose life is unlike that he has lived He is one; they are many. There Is nc chance of compromise. He must learr to see with their eyes, to hear witi their ears, to think their thoughts, tc follow their ideals.-Helen Keller it Century. Sheridan's Star Actor. When Sheridan was a manager he even indulged in such catering to the public taste as offering to the public a dog piece by Reynolds, entitled "The Caravan; or, The Driver and the Dog.' Of its first presentation it is recorded that Sheridan after witnessing the per formance suddenly entered the green room, shouting: "Where is he? Where is my guardian angel?" Presuming he meant to congratulate the author Reynolds replied, "Here I am:" "Pooh.' replied Sheridan, "I don't mean you; I mean the dog." Later one Dignum. who played in the piece. approached Sheridan one night with woeful counte nance, saying: "Sir, there is no guard ing against illness. It is truly ]amenta ble to stop the run of a successful play like th-is, but really"- "Really what? cried Sheridan, interrupting him. " am so unwell that I cannot go or longer than tonight." "You!" exclaimned Sheridan. "My good fellow, you terni fled me. I thought you were going tc say the dog was ill." The Life Plant.

It seems to me we make a mistake it prescribing special hours for going tc bed and for getting up. Why should we thus gorge ourselves with slumber: Why should we not follow the example of the dog and take an occasional nal: when we have nothing better to do' Why should we go to bed when we don't feel sleepy?

I For many years down to 1S72 the foe wooden spoon was the most coveted ha: honor of a Yale course. It did not eat necessarily indicate the highest schol- sin arship, but it was voted by the gradu- plc ating class to the most popular man. pr The "spoon man" of a class was its va: hero, according to the Hartford Con- tin rant. The other boys loved him, and f no he was almost invariably a person who ca1 justified that affection. The list of pl "spoon men" would include some of ea< the most eminent of Yale graduates. in There were nine members of each sot class selected by their classmates, and Lo these were known as "cocks," which is short and English for "cochlea-:reati." To one of these nine was :'..,ded the spoon, and they all joined in a public I 1 performance called the wooden spoon is exhibition, at which the ceremony of plc presentation was gone through with all hu the wit that a college class could mas- is ter.

Stockings have always been meas ured by the inch from heel to toe, but the numbering of shoes was fixed a long time ago by a Frenchman. and its so long ago that only one New York dealer could be found who knew anything about it. Even he didn't know the inventor's name. The Frenchman permanently axed the numbers of shoes for all Europe and America. He arbitrarily decided that no human foot could possibly be smaller than three and seven-eighths inches. s. c. aliing this point zero, he allowed one-third of an inch to a size and so built up his scale. Consequent lv a maln cannot find out the number of his own shoe unless he is au expert at exact arithmtetic. .aind even then he is likely to go wrung. because all shoe experts allow for the weight of the individual and the build of his foot before they try to determine what size shoe he ought to wear. As far as women's shoes are concern ed the l roblel is still more diflicult. because many of the manufacturers. inste:ad of keeping to the regular scale, have marked down their numbers one or two sizes in order to capture easily flattered customers. For this reason most dealers ask out of town custom ers to send an old shoe with their or ders. The system of measuring hats is much simpler. Any man can tell what size he wears by simply adding the width and length of the inner rim and then dividing by two. Orders can also be sent to the storekeeper by stating the circumference of the head.-New York Sun. HOME ADDRESSES. Britons Have to Use a Lot of Words to Write Them.

He Is wearied by his long walk. He is in sore straits. The door is opened timidly, cautious ly, and a voice is heard. -Who is it?" "A traveler," is the weary answer. "Whaur do ye come from?" "I come from Edinburgh," is the an swer. "Then ye canna come in. It's against the law." The door is banged ruthlessly. The traveler thinks awhile. Your Scotsman thinks slowly, but very surely. After delib:ration he knocks again. The formula is gone through. "Whaur do ye come" 'Trae Leith," answers the traveler quickly. "Then ye may come in. Why dia ye nae tell the truth at first?" THE GENTLE ALLIGATOR. Getting Him Out Into the Open For the Camera Man. I have seen a barefoot boy when the alligator refused to respond to his call wade in the mud to his waist, explore with his toes till he felt the wiggle or the gator beneath them, then worry him to the surface, grab him by the E nose before he could open his jaws and I tow the creature ashore to be photo graphed. When an alligator that we were hunting crawled into his cave I held a noosed rope over his mouth while the boy poked a stick through the mud. until it hit the creature in his i hiding place, and soon I had him snared, ready to be dragged out on the prairie and tied, to be kept till theI cmera man was ready for him; then we turred the reptile loose on a bit of prairie, and the boy and I, armed with sticks, headed him off when he tried to escpe, while the camera man. with his head in the hood of his instrument, foi owed the creature about, seeking for evidence in the case of reason vcrsus instinct. When the camera man was through with him the alligator was set free, a final shot being taken at him as ho walked off. Our hunter boys could never be made to comprehend our rea sons for restoring to the creatures their fedom. They understood the photo graphing, but when this was done why not collect a dollar for the reptile's hide? Their manner implied that to this question no sane answrer was pos sible-A. W.
