TJltALS OF JUHOllS.
Among tlic evils suriotitidiiig
the jury system in the district of
Columbia which demand cuntlcm
tintioii. Attorney Cieneral llrew
sler includes the unnecessary
hardships imposed on those who
nre coni)cllcd to servo. Ho culls
attention to the s.xtranrdiiinry
fact that service us n juror in the

for one fourth of (lie whole year,
a hardship and injustice thai is
not imposed 011 the citizens in any
other place in the United Slates,
mid would not lie toleiated in any
coiinuiiuity where the people have
a voice in training their own laws.
A veiy limited luimhcr of men
can lie compelled to serve, and
thu service is so hiirdeiisouiu and
disagree ilihs that clean men,
and men who have other bikini's
to perforin, avoid serving as ju
rors by every possible means.
Jtul tho trials of juroas are scarce
ly less severe in many other
cities. In olden itme ii was
thought tint the vigil nice and
judgment of jurors could best he
secured by the absolute depriva
tion of the comforts and even the
necessities of life, and they were
thus deprived of food,, drink, heat
mid light. Hut modern cnlight
luent has adopted a more human
theory, mid no longer allows a

rooms whuni tho atmosphere is
soon rendered noisome. A sui
tor would not willingly trust his
own decisslon in an important
mutter when oppressed by head
ache, nausea or indisposition
mused by foul air. Vet ho is
forced to submit his interests in
litigation i men thus affected,
who are often sorely tempted to
rush through a verdict without
dolibcii.tiou in order
to esi'apo '
from tho torture of their routine-
nienl.. It is not. sinpiising that
jury duty is evaded and often
en relesslv discharged.
On the othirhand, it is com
monly mid very justly regarded us
Int. r j o for either party to a

state the prosocuting attorney was
eoiisplcuou sly lavish In his frendly
attention to soino of tho jurors
when thoy, wcro off duty. Ho
'treated" two or three of them
ioveral times; invited one out to
dinner, "presented hint with a
bottle of bitters uod after dinner

"entertained" another '-at 1111

practice" of the lawyers on the
other side to ' 'interchange court
esies by treating and drinking
Willi some of the jurors." The
prosecuting attorney was the most
successful in his attention to the
comforts of the jury , ond a vcr-j
diet of guilty was rendered against ;
the prisoner. A motion was made'
to set this verdict ,'isidc, but the I
supremo court refused on the
ground that 4 ' the acts of drills-
ingtludtne entertainments were
all done in ihe recess or adjoin n-
iiients of the court:" that it did
not appear tlat the jurors and the
counsel conversed about the
case, ' ' and that ' 'acts of ordinary
and neighborly kindness or of
hospitality to jurors do not. justi
fy an inference that the .ury was
influenced by them in making up
their verdict. ! ' Ex.
The art of wood working is the
oldest means whereby man grati
lleil his vanity or his eye, and the
one which, even among savages,
still maintains its excellence.
The New inlander's club and tho
ancient Aztec's gods, the Ilvdah
Indian's pipes and the paddles
of tho Polynesian canoe man, are
marvels of carving, executed with
the rudest' tools, Ju the Kallii
country, of Central Afuca are
entire villages composed of wood
en houses, elaborate! v carved on
post and pillar. Until the fear of
tire led to the use of iron and
stone as building material, such
towns were common in Kuropu.
IlearHs, brackets door-heads, ami
gable ends were effectively hewn
with grotesipic images of demons,
heraldic devices, and those fair,
saintly faces which still look down
on us with a glance-so benign.
