JURORS AND ThIAL LAWYERS
Men Who Render th Verdict Said to
Have a Distinct tnflusnce
Over the Counsel.
Juries differ widely. Charles Rus
sell uaed to say, 'or Instance, that
there was all the difference in the
world between knglish and Irlr-h
Juries remarks the Manchester (Eng.)
Uuardltiu. Irisb juries enjoyed the
fun and the drama of a trial; they
entered Into It all and appreciated the
cut and thrust; whereas Kngllnh
Juries were concerned more with won
dering bow soon they would be re
leased. Hut there is a characteristic com
mon to ull Juries, 'ihey have quite as
much Imliieuce, though In a different
way, over counsel aa counsel have
over tlittn. One of the greatest of
advocates, Scarlett, Lord Ablngvr, de-
clurud that his micceas wus due chlelly
to the rule lie luuile of selecting one
particular Jur.iinuii, not necessarily the
foreman, and addressing the argument
as if to li i nt peroually. He would
then work awuy till lie felt that he
bad convinced this man und could re
ly on hlin when the verdict was being
onsldeied.

Giant Esls.
It Is said there a,e eels no one can
land. Kuuie years ngo a giant conger
was cnusrht In shullow water off the
Mhores of Kngland. It measured 8 feet
8 Inches In length and weighed 148
(Kmnds. Congers half that size have
been known to bite a man's band In
two and to have driven their teeth
through the blade of an our.
In 1(113 Kakanritnsku, the champion
swimmer of Honolulu, was attacked
by a giant eel, wblcb dragged him
under water, and held him tlt re for
nearly two minutes. He escaped at
bust, but at the cost of a finger from
his right hand.
Eels attain an Immense size In the
rivers of New Zealand and have been
known to attack .. bathers. . In fact,
many cases of drowning have been
pioven to be where eels have dragged
tbe bathers beneath the surface of
the water. "

Of sub-tropical products India gives

TOLSTOY IRKED BY IDLENESS
Letter Written by Russian Philoav
opher Condemns Lifs Led by
Indolsnt Men of Means.
The Vosslsche eltimg prints the
following leiter by Tolstoy, written la
IRH-t, with the remiirk that It baa Sev
er before been published except fe
Itiixsiau. and that Its value lies la the
fact that as enrly as Tolstoy Irnd
about made tip his ntiud to .do what
he 'did In KH0- leave home Snd live
the life of s peasant. The letter reads
In purl ;
"I am living In tbe country, Involun
tarily according' f a new method. I
go to bed early, get up early, write
very little but work a great deal, eith
er making boot or mowing hy. I see
with Joy (or pos!!ily It only seems
to me like Joy) that there' Is some
thing up In ray -"fsmlly. .They do not
condemn m ; as a matter of fact, they
seem ashamed of themselves.
"What miserable creatures -w are
and how we have all gone sstray.
There are a great many of as here,
my own children snd the children of
Kusmlnsky, and nobody does a thing
bnt ftilp down food. They sre all Mf
and strong, yet they do nothing. Peo
ple In the village are at work. My
children eat and make their clothe
and tbelr rooms dirty and that Is all
Everything Is done for them by some
body else, yet tbey do nothing for
anybody. And worst of all, they see
to feel that It Is as It should be. But
I have had my own part In bonding
tip sucb a system, and I can never for
get It I feel that for them I am a
trouble-fete. But It la clear that they
are beginning to see that this cannot
go on this way forever."
HAD NO CAUSE FOR WORRY
Under the Circumstances Wash White
Could Afford to Live Life of
Elegant Leisure.
Senator Gronna of Dakota was
analyzing a political opponent at a"
Dakota luncheon.
"The man Is bad throtiph and

bad that he mistakes badness for
goodness Is proud of himself, la
short.
"By Jove, he makes me think of
Cncle Washington White. As Cncle"'
Wash hrafed in front of the poolroom
one morning the preacher's wife
stopped and said:
" 'Washington, why don't you go
to work?
"Old Wash White, as he puffed
serenely on bis corncob, answered:
"Bekase Ah got a wife an' chil
dren toe suppo't
"'But,' the preacher's wife Impa
tiently Interrupted, yoo can't support
them by loafing here In front of this
poolroom.'
"'Excuse me. Miss' To'thly,' said

mah remark. Wot Ah means toe say
Is that All's got a wife an' clilllun toe

New York Boys' New Game.
The game of marbles no longer holds
a throne In boyville. Any New York
side street where there's enough room
between hluecoats and automobile
rraflic to play, will show you that a
new game has taken Its place.
"Sidewalk checkers," the boys call
t. The new game really has the ele
ments of both the old marble shooting
days aud checkers as played on a
bonrd. Checker men are usetl red,
black, blue the color makes no dif
ference. A ring Is drawn with chalk
and the object Is to flip your checker
man with enough force to knock your
contenders out of the ring.
"Hully gee!" said a future Ponzl as
he gathered up his winnings on Reads
street near Broadway, "ain't I got
enough lumber . here to start me a
paper mill?" New York Sun.
Men Who Repair Skeletons.
There are two kinds of skeleton
menders the bone surgeou and the
skeleton-assembler. Art schools, medi
cal colleges, and students of anatomy
require an accurately constructed skel
eton to aid In their work.
AU the bones must be properly as
sorted and carefully put together.
They are strung on fine wires. The'
skeleton-assembler must also pick out
of the hundreds of odd bones that are
