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

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

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.

Sahara's Oases.
Some of the oases of the Sahara i
are quite large, one of them being
/- 120 miles long and fifty-eight miles j
wide. The springs are of various ;
kinds?hot, cold, mineral or gase- I
ous. The Kargha oasis dwellers;
i
raise grain, onions and dates, but,
live on the least possible amount 01 (
food, work and reasoning power, j
Marshes abound and fever prevails.,
Shell Shock.
The nervous shock from exploding
shells from big guns is so great;
that it oftentimes brings horses up
in their tracks, apparently incapa- i
ble of moving. Horses occasionally
fall down and give every appearance
of having been shot, though
actually unhurt. Dogs suddenly
and unaccountably go lame, though \
untouched. '

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. Sc
thought the ancients.
Church of St. Sophia.
Mohammedans reverence Constantinople
next to Mecca, and St.
Sophia, or the "Church of the Divine
Wisdom," holds first rank in
the affections of the faithful.
Commenced in the year 532 A. D.
on the site of several successive
Christian churches of the same
? name, no fewer than 10,000 workmen
are said to have been employ\
ed upon its construction, under the
yV direction of 100 master builders.
