JUROR WAS MIXED. Yorkville Enquirer. An incident unprecedented in the aonals of the court of common pleas for York county occurred yesterday whfcti one of the jurors after listening to testimony and arguments for more than two hours, inquired of Judge John S. Wilson, presiding, as to who was the plaintiff and who the defendant. It happened in the case of the Southern railway vs. James Bros., in which the plaintiff sought pay for alleged cost of feeding of mules shipped by the defendant. The Issue was somewhat clouded in that tbe defendant admittd his indebtedness to the plaintiff railway company Ollk/K.ok ? 1- - uut iu uuiuuai as great as the railway company claimed. After Judge Wilson had completed his charge be informed the jurorc that he would be glad to answer any question that any one might see fit to ask. Juror R. H. Gilifilan inquired: "Judge, what I want to know is who is the defendant and who is the plaintiff in this action?" The information was given and the Jury retired returning after some deliberation with a verdict for the plaintiff. Lawyers discussed the incident yesterday afternoon and local attorneys as well as visiting lawyers said that never before in all their experience had they heard such a question asked. "I have often heard as a joke of tho Juror who asked which was the defendant and which was the plainIn a cade," Senator John R. Hart, ,/cd: "but never before until this afternoon did such an incident come under my observation." "I have bden en attendant upon court off and on for forty-eight years," said Mr. Robert Witherspoon oi x orgviiie who was in the courtroom at the time; "but nev<er before had I heard a juror ask that question."

Madame du Barry, who became the favorite of Louis XV in his old age, after the ddath of the celebrated Pompadour, was of most humble origin. She was the natural daughter of Mme. Anne Becu, who, coming to Paris about 1750, married a domestic named Rancon. Pretty little Jeannc Rancon, as the later notorious Du Berry, "who ruled the destinies of France for five long years," was then known aiiraciea many persons by her beauty, among them a well-known financier and philanthropist. Through him she was admitted to the convent school of St'e. Aurorc. She remained eight years, emerging at fifteen.

He made her his mistress, and to give the affair a show of decency the Person of Comte Guillaume du Louis found a husband for her in Barry, a brother of her former paramour.

Thorndik, the Co lumbia University psychologist, hai devised a system of intelligence test! intended to ascertain the mental abil ities of prospective college students Tbey reveal not knowledge, under landing, but mental alertness, quiet wit, perception. Recently he gave these tests to fifty leading business men of an eastern city. The results were astonishing. Not one of the business men was up to the average of the young students entering Columbia. And the general average oi the business men was still further below that of the college students. Yel the business men were all regarded as the highest type, conspicuously successful. What does this indicate? I. frankly, do not know. It is not easy to believe that successful business men are less intelligent than college freshmen. Yet, perhaps, the affairs of this workaday world do dull our senses. I wonder if it isn't alarmingly easy to go to seed. And does proficiency in one special line of thought tend to rob us of our aptitude for everything else? Are we as smart as we think we are? ?
