AN EXCITED LAWYER
A CASS THAT WORKED HIM UP TO
THE BURSTING POINT.
The Outrnsreona Condnct of Juror No.
« su'd the Explanation Which
Chanced the Couoael’a Aafer to
Limp Bewilderment.
“In my 20 years’ experience as a
practicing lawyer,” said a known
member of the bar at the Lawyers’ club
the other day, “I don’t believe I ever
went through a more exciting trial than
one I took parkin out at Freehold, N.
J. When I say exciting, I mean excit
ing for me, for I was the only one who
appeared to bo concerned about the con
duct of the man who occupied the sixth
seat in the jury box.
“The case was a civil action, and I
represented the plaintiff. It was a small
matter, and we were suing for only
8500, but as my client happpetfed to be
a personal friend, and he was more
anxious to establish a principle than to
collect any money, I was out to win.
“The judge was a sedate individual,
who slept most of the time, and the
jury looked as thaugiL.it had beentQraft
ed from the hayfields. I retired well for
my with th ® flr>t witness and
was looking out of the corner of my eye
to see what effect the point had had
with the jury, when I noticed the
man in No. 6 scowling furiously at me.
When I continued to make headway
with the next witness, he shook his
head, scowled and looked as though he’d
like to eat me up. The rest of the jury
men kept watching him, and I began to
think I was up against a pretty stiff
proposition. -
“Finally I threw a question at a wit
ness, which if honestly answered I
knew would establish our claim to dam
ages. No. 6 evidently-thought so, too,
for he rose from bis seat, shook his bead
vigorously at the judge, and leaning
over the rail waited for the judge’s de
cision, for by this time the defendant’s
counsel had made an objection.
“The judge ruled sgainst me, and
No. 6 fell back into his seat and laugh
ed as though it was the funniest thing
he had ever heard. I was mad clean
through by this time. Such outrageous
conduct I had never seen in court.
“ ‘Yow honor,’ I began protestingly,
“ ‘Go on with the case,’ roared hie
honor.
"‘But, sir,’ I began, ‘this is the
most extraordinary’—
“ ‘Go on with the case,’ interrupted
the judge once more, and seeing it was
vain to protest I went on.
“Well, this thing went on all
through the trial, Every point I made
brought a scowl to the face of Na 6.
Every point my opponent made brought
smiles to his face. When I summed up,
he kept shaking his head vigorously
and saying things in an ugly tone, but
under his breath. Once he threw his
hands up in the air in protest, and I
got so mad that I could have hauled
him out of that box and thrashed him
with pleasure.
“When the defense summed up, the
fellow grinned with delight. He shook
his head approvingly at all the lawyer
said, and once, when the lawyer indulg
ed in abuse of me, he clapped his hands
together as though he was dying to ap
plaud. During the judge's charge he
scowled and smiled alternately, accord
ing to which side his honor favored.
“‘We’re gone,’ I whispered to my
client, ‘and I never engaged in a better
case than this;'' Rather than submit to
such a barefaced steal I’ll fight this
case through every court in the state,
and without a cent of fee toa ’
“The judge had finished by thia time,
and the jury had risen to go out. To
my utter astonishment, No. 6 jumped
over t’e rail of the jury box, and going
over to where the defendant and his
lawyer sat clapped the former on the
shoulder and said in a loud tpice,
‘You’ll win sure.’ Here my indigna
tion got the better of me. Rushing over
to No. 6, I took him by the arm and
wheeled him around.
“ ‘See here, sir, the jury has retired,
and you might better be with them
than talking to the defendant and his
counsel. ’
‘“Why should I be with’em?’ he
replied.
“ ‘Why, good heavens, man, can the
jury deliberate while you’re in the
courtroom and they’re elsewhere?’
“‘Don’t know why not, ’ he replied.
‘I ain’t no juror.’
“‘Then who the devil are your’ I
demanded.
“‘He’s my hired man,’put in the
defendant.
“ ‘Then what was he doing in the
jury box?’
“ ‘Why, consarn it, there warn’t an
other seat in the room, ’ said the hired
man. ‘Didn’t suppose I was goin ter
stand up, did yer?’
“I went back to my seat, completely
bewildered, and as I sat down the jury
came in, having been out five minutes.
They gave me the verdict, and I was
truly the most astonished man in the
state of New Jersey at that moment.
“I found out afterward that before I
began active work in the case juror No.
6 had been sick for a week and that the
other 11 jurors bad been acting without
him under instruction fror» the court.’’

False Alarm.
Wife (time, midnight)—Hark! Hus
band, wakeup! I hear the rustling of
silk and the clang of uhains.
Husband—You do? Horrors! Then
the reports are true. I was told this
house, was haunted.
Wife (much relieved) —Oh, is that
all? I was afraid that Fido had broken
loose and was tearing my new ball
dress. —London Fun.
Green is the color most beneficial to
the eye in diffused light and reds and
pinks the most harmful. In a strong
direct light, however, blue and neutral
tints are the best for the eyes and pure
white the most harmful, as is proved by
the phenomenon snow blindness.
LONDON’S HAIR TRADE.
Dost Bl® a, Maidens u< CeSaa Cm.
tribute—Secret* *“’• Prteee.
In the little house in Bloomsbury where
sheaves of human hair are garnered work
is heavy.
Now is tbe season when the British
matron renews her scant looks; when the
Adonis of 00 buys himself another scalp,
and the fair inaid whose thatch Is light
pads it out with hair harvested fretn other
heads.
Before folk go on a holiday they pay a
visit to the hairdresser, and the demnrwl
for fringes, bandeaux, Invisible coverings,
sculiiettes, top curls, fancy toupees and
semicovered hair stems waxes great.
But the hairdresser does not always keep
them things in stock. He gpes to tbe
dealer in human hair, and thither a Dally
Mall representative went—to the second
dqpr round ths corner down a street be
neath the shadow of the grim facade of
the highly respectable British museum.
A comely Scot, in the prime of life,
stood behind the counter. “This lot,’’ he
said, ‘‘is known in the trade as rag pick
ers’ combings.” It was a large sheaf of
hair, black, of coarse texture, about six
inches in length. “These tresses,’’ he
went on, “are the eombings of many
heads. Paris ragpickers gather them.
They are then cleansed, sorted in length
and sold at a very cheap price. Theatrical
wigs are their final destination. They
curl beautifully.’’
How to keep the hair In ourl is a knotty
problem in some boudoirs. And yet it is
easily done. Twist the hair tightly round
a pipe. Then boil it; afterward bake IL
It will never come uncurled.
Italy and France are the fields which
supply humarf balr markets.
The coarter grades come from the former
country, from Naples and Palermo and the
finer* ones from France. Girls in the sun
ny land clothe themselves, as did Godiva
of old, in their long locks—-only they do
it tn a more conventional manner. When
the! hair is grown, they attend a fair. Here
are merchants of Paris, ready to clip and
pay cash down. And the girls sell their
hair, buy garments, go home, rub in
pomatum and start growing another crop.
A healthy girl with a vigorous scalp will
grow two or three marketable crops in
the course of a year.
Prices range from 10 francs to 40 francs
per head of hair. Color purity is the de
termining factor. The hair must be the
same shade throughout from stem to tip.
In Scandinavia and Germany the color
varies greatly. The last wave will be the
yellow of wheat straw, while at its source
It is almost ruddy. Such hair is of no
use for the English market. It is sent to
America.
Human hair is of all lengths, but. the
longest grows on corpses. There is no
telling which is cut from the living or
from the dead. But from the coffin are
gleaned beauty’s loveliest tresses. And
the price of them is 12 shillings an ounce.
Many ladies visit the little house in
Bloomsbury. They shake out their looks
and say: “Isn’t it beautiful? What will
you give?” And they ask a fabulous price,
as if thgjr head carried 10 to 12 pounds of
haw instead of 10 to 12 ounces.
It is comforting to know that in the
matter of hair England still holds her
own. Thirty years in the trade show that
we are not becoming more bald. The de
mand for scalps is even less than formerly.
In Germany it is different. Teutons don't
keep their hair on in the way they used to.
If nations resemble Samson and their
strength lies in their flowing locks, Brit
ain in her old ago grows no weaker.—
London Mail.
A Famoua Fencing Master.
In Bertrand, the old fencing master,
who at the ago of 81 has just laid down
his foil forever, lovers of the arme blanche
have lost a teacher who in his day was un
surpassed and who had the honor of
founding not merely a school of fencing,
but an epoch in the art he taught. For it
was the elder Bertrand who perfected (if
he did not originate) that most deadly of
all strokes, the riposte, which is a light
ninglike reply to the adversary’s attack,
delivered so swiftly after the parry that
the opponent has not had time to recover
from the effort and protect himself.
The Italian school has developed out of
this a system of “offensive parries,”
which combines the guard and the riposte
in one movement, and is of very fatal ac
curacy with such a weapon as that of Plni.
But it was Bertrand who really developed
the full beauties of foil fencing, just when
dueling had been definitely stopped. Such
paradoxes are common in the history of
the sword, for it was the invention of
gunpowder and the consequent discard
ing of heavy armor that introduced the
supremacy of the rapier and the point.
The superiority of Bertrand In his early
days in Paris was testified in a manner
that has distinguished classical preced
ence. For every maitre d’armes interro
gated on the subject by M. Legouve placed
Bertrand second in the list of honor with
out a single exception.—St James Ga
zette. -
Turtles In the Bahamas.
The shallow seas around tbe Bahama
islands abound with turtles, and turtle
shell valued locally at £5,600 was export
ed last year from the colony. The edible
turtle Is known as the “green” one and is
also plentiful In these waters. When small
ones are caught they are deposited in large
ponds known as “crawls,” where, after
having been branded with their owner’s
mark, they are left to feed upon a particu
lar kind of marine grass until they have
attained a marketable size. Turtle meat
sells in the local markets at threepence per
pound of live weight and it is probable
that an enterprise for the preparation of a
concentrated form of turtle soup, such as
has recently been established in Jamaica,
would prove a profitable undertaking.—
London Telegraph.
Jack Rabbit and Bulldog.
The Emporia (Kan.) Republican tells
the following queer story: “An Emporia
man heard a disturbance in the night, and
on getting up to see what was the matter
found hit. bulldog engaged in a desperate
struggle with a jack rabbit Concluding
that it was dangerous to interfere, he
went back into the house and shut the
door. In a short time the outside struggle
ceased, and, looking up, he was surprised
to see a jack rabbit looking in over ths
transom of the front door. In the morn
ing bo went out and found the bulldog
dead in tbe front yard with marks of rab
bit teeth an over his person, bearing mute
testimony to his brave and desperate
struggle.”
Railroading In Russia.
On the new Russian military railway
from Europe to Andijan, on tbe borders
of tbe Chinese empire, a treelike shrub
called the sascaoul had to be planted all
along the lino through the desert to pre
vent the rails being covered by sand. For
further protection a ribbon of wild oats
runs along both sides cf the railway.
TENNYSON’S FAITH.
Vhc Fva>l»m of tka Futrra Llf® Baril
th* Dwasiaaat later Mt.
A reader of tbe “Life of Tennyson,”
by his eon, will be struck by tbe fact
that no subject interested him ao deep
ly as the problem of the future life. He
Will also observe that it was always a
problem to him, one that be was con
stantly raising, that won Id not stay set
tled. To be sure, be was a believer in
immortality, but not n restful believer.
Ho was all the timo digging up the
roots of his faith to be sure they were
alive. Tbe old question wmliliixit etay
unanswered. Tbe reader of bis poetry
observes tbe same thing. He is always
on the ride of fait! . Ljl of a somewhat
disturbed faith, lie belonged to that
“metaphysical society" which invited
into its membership believers of all
shades, with all shades of unbelievers,
whose object was to raise and answer
doubts about God aud the future life.
He was tbe spokesman of the scientific
doubt of the age, fluttering over the
dovecots of faith, but hardly settling
and resting and nesting therein.
One observes the contrast with this
fluttering faith whp reads tbe poems of
Milton, with their abiding faith in tbe
future life. This is the spiritual con
trast between “In Memoriam” and
“Lyoidas.” In Milton’s requiem, even
under its paganized form, there is a ro
bust and jubilant faith in God and
eternal life. No question enters. The
mind and heart are satisfied. The dear
friend is beyond all doubt among tha.
saints and choirs above. One regrets
that Tennyson’s mental structure per
haps could find positiveness and rest on
questions of politics or poetry, but
must perennially dubitate—to be sure,
with the hopeful balance of probability
—over questions of faith. “I believe I
know," he once said, “the quantity of
every word in the English language
except scissors," but one seems to de
tect a tremulousness in his best expres
sion of faith, "I hope to meet my Pilot
face to face, when I have crossed the
bar."—lndependent.
HARNESS REINS.
Made From the Stoutest of Leather.
A Word About Hand Holds.
The reins of a set of single harness
are each about 18 feet in length, those
of a double harness about 15 feet. For
business harness reins are made of
leather, tanned black; the reins of car
riage harness are made of russet colored
leather.
Reins require to be very stout, and
they are almost always made of steer
hide, the leather of which traces are
made, these, however, being of more
than one thickness. Occasionally lines
for light or for cheap harness are made
of cowhide, but not often. As a rule the
best of leather is used for the reins,
even in cheap harness. There can be ob
tained from the hides of leather suitable
for reins strips from seven to nine feet
in length, so that reins are always of
necessity made in two pieces.
Tbe loops, or hand holds, often seen
on the reins of track or road horses are
commonly made of lighter leather
stitched together and then sometimes
stitched to the reins, but more often se
cured to them in such a manner that
they can be shifted on the reins to suit
the convenience of the driver. The
three loop hold, which is called the
Boston hand hold, is commonly used for
track driving. The single loop is the
one used by most drivers on the road.
There are patent hand holds made of
metal. The wooden buttons sometimes
seen on reins, used as hand holds, are
made in pairs, one button of each pair
having a stem, with a thread cut on it,
which goes through the rein and is
screwed into the other button of the
pair on the opposite side.—New York
Sun.
Sowing Panay Seed.
During early October is a good time
for sowing pansy seed for next spring’!
supply of plants for bedding out. The
reason for fall sowing out of doors is
that the plants are not then subjected
to the hot, drying influences of the
house, which are so likely to bring on
red spider and other troubles.
Prepare a bed of very rich, porous
loam on a well drained location. Place
over it a frame to be filled with forest
leaves as a protection to the little plants
over winter. After sowing the seed in
the bed sift a very light covering of soil
over the seed, merely enough to hide
them. During the process of germina
tion never allow the bed to dry out, as
moisture is essential to perfect germina
tion of any seed.
As severe weather approaches cover
the bed with a few inches of litter of
some sort, forest leaves being preferable.
At tbe proper time in the spring ths
seedlings may be pricked out of the soil
in the seedbed and transferred to the
bed in which they are to bloom.—Wom

'* On® Day at a Time.
It is a blessed secret, says the British
Weekly, this of living by the day.
Any one can carry his burden, however
heavy, till nightfall. Any one can live
sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely,
till the sun goes down. And this is all
that life ever really means to us—just
one little day. .Do today’s duty. Fight
today’s temptations, and do not weaken
and distract yoursejf by looking for
ward to things you cannot see and could
not understand if you saw them. God
gives us nights to shut down the cur
tain of darkness on our little days. We
cannot see beyond. Short horizons
make life easier and give us one of
brave, true, holy living.
