THE IDEAL JURYMAN.
HI* Ag* and Qualification* From an
Engliah Point of View.
There la a general agreement In Lon
don legal circles that the best Jurymen
are to be found among men sixty years
of age. The opinion Is that Jurymen
at that age show better Judgment than
younger men.
A leading London barrister, asked for
his opinion, said: "I prefer men about
fifty years of age. A defending barris
ter In, say, a criminal case which has
certain sentimental elements will al
ways welcome a young jury. He knows
he can touch their emotions far more
easily than he can those of men over
fifty. Sentiment Is very rare at fifty,
and a man Is cold and purely logical.
The average man who has reached the
age of fifty looks upon things from a
materialistic point of view, and his
Judgment Is therefore unaffected by
sentiment
“Education, save In certain civil
cases. Is no great asset to a Juryman.
The bricklayer or the mechanic has
just as much knowledge of human na
ture and a sense of Justice as the pro
fessor, and In many respects barristers
and judges prefer the unlettered Jury
man to the man of culture, though In
the case of the latter be Is less sus
ceptible to oik emotional plea. The man
with sound common sense, learned not
from books, but from everyday life. Is
not so easily led either by Judge or
counsel as many suppose, and If you
add the wisdom of years you get the
Ideal juryman.’’—Exchange.
FORCED THEM TO FIGHT.
How “Honor" Was Satisfied by a Com*
puleory Dual In Hungary.
The code duello as Insisted upon
abroad Is strikingly illustrated by the
story of a happening at Budapest Hun
gary. It appears that a lawyer, Ba
bocsay by name, quarreled with his
wife over a new hat The wife called
her brother. Lieutenant Hajdu, a mili
tary aviator, to her aid. The husband
used words deemed insulting by Hajdu.
This coming to the hearing of Hajdu's
superior officer, the latter ordered the
lieutenant to fight a duel with Baboc
say. Neither party wished to fight
Babocsay offered to apologize, and
Hajdu was willing to accept the apol
ogy and thus end the affair.
But the military martinet was Inex
orable. The duel must be fought to
satisfy the honor of the army. Conse
quently these two men, closely related,
were compelled to attempt to try to
take each other’s life. They met, Ba
bocsay, firing aimlessly, nevertheless
sent a bullet through the lung of bis
adversary, and Lieutenant Hajdu died
of his wound.
Upon hearing of the death of her
brother at the hand of her husband In
her quarrel Mme. Babocsay went In
sane, twice attempted suicide and was
finally confined to an asylum.—Chicago

Momentum and Velocity.
In answer to the question “Is It not
velocity that produces gravitation? If
we throw a stone against a window of
sufficient resistance with too little ve
locity It will not break, but If we
throw It with sufficient velocity the
window will break,” the New York
American says:
“We do not know the cause of gravi
tation nor of anything, but the Increas
ed speed of a stone thrown Is not the
cause of gravitation; It Is the cause of
momentum, which is a product of mass
multiplied by velocity. Momentum
would be the same If the stone were
thrown close to the earth, where the
full attraction of Its gravitation would
' be felt, or out In space trillions of
miles, where the earth’s gravitation
would be almost Infinitesimal—that Is,
the glass would break by Increasing
the speed of the stone as here on
earth.”

ounce of water, two ounces of glycerin
and one dram of salt This Is poured
on a piece of gauze and then wiped
over the glass, care being taken to
have all the strokes downward. The
effect of the treatment is to prevent
raindrops from clinging to the glass.—

SLEEPING IN CHURCH.
Man Do It Beoauae Thay Ara Mora At*
tantiva Than Woman.
A German professor who has been
making a study of the problem de
clares that men fall asleep In chnrch
because they pay more attention to the
sermon than do the women. Further,
he declares the average woman does
not begin to grasp the purport of the
sermon; that she Is far slower of un
derstanding than man.
The man will watch the minister
every minute, he will concentrate all
bis mind upon the preacher and what
be Is saying, he will watch bis every
gesture and every motion of his lips
and listen to every word until finally
he drops off to sleep simply because he
has watched so steadily, gazed so in
tently, that be hynotized himself.
If the woman does not grasp the
meaning of the sermon so readily. If
her mentality Is not quite so keen and
quick, one would think she would fall
asleep. But the fact remains that she
has plenty to interest her. A man can
not look about the church and be Inter
ested In John Jones' cravat or William
Smith's vest or Sam White's cuff but
tons. He doesn’t care anything about
them, but a woman will sit quietly In
church, she will hear what the minis
ter Is saying without giving much
thought to It, but she will be Interested
In everything every other woman Is
wearing, and there Is enough to keep
her Just moderately entertained and
wide awake.—Chicago Tribune.
HAD FAITH IN HIS IDEAS.
Jules Verna Felt the Things He Wrote
Would Come to Pats.
Anything new about that wonderful
man. Jules Verne, is invariably inter
esting. And in the Paris Temps Felix
Duquesnel, who knew the author well,
tells quite a lot about him that is “not
generally known."
“I believe i invent possible things,”
Verne used to say. “which is very
naive of me. because all that I write
will be realized. Human knowledge
will demolish the Impossible." But if
be believed in the realization of his lm- i
aglnlngs his friends did not at first be
lieve tbnt be would be successful as an j
author. ;
One day, according to M. Duquesnel,
when Verne was in the company of a ;
number of his friends, he exclaimed
with great seriousness:
“Mes cnfants, I think I am about to I
leave you. 1 have the idea which, ac
cording to Glrardln. is necessary to a
man if he is going to make his for
tune. I am going to write a romance
In a new form of my own invention.
If it succeeds it will be. I'm certain,
the lode of the gold mine."
The friends laughed. "Laugh away."
Bald Verne, “we shall see who laughs
last." A few weeks later “Five Weeks
In a Balloon” appeared and was an -
immediate success. He had found his I
“lode," which he continued to develop 1
for half a century.—London Letter In j
Milwaukee Sentinel.
Promises In Politics.
During a municipal campaign In Chi
cago a politician dropped in one morn
ing to see a certain grocer. During the j
conversation that took place the poll- I
ticlan asked, “And I may count upon
your support, may I not?”
“Why, no, I nm sorry to say.” replied
the grocer. “The fact is, I have prom
ised my support to the other candi- 1
date.”
The politician laughed. “Ah,” said i
he, “in politics promising and perform
ing are two different things.”
“In that case," said the grocer cor
dially. "I shall be glad to give you my
promise, sir.”—Llppincott's.
“Painting the Town Red.”
“That expression, 'painting the town
red,’ is not,” writes n correspondent,
"tbe creation of some unknown cock- I
uey genius, us some would seem to in
fer. Its birth has been traced to The
Divine Comedy.’ Dante, led by Virgil,
comes to the cavernous depths of the
place swept by a mighty wind where
those are confined who have been the
prey of their passions. Two faces arise
from the mist—the faces of Francesca
and Paolo. ‘Who are ye?’ cries Dante
in alarm, and Francesca replies sadly,
•We are those who have painted the
world red with our sins.’ ’’—London
