ignricg of Russian Juries
The most incredible stories are told
of Russian jurymen Thus the fore
man of a jury declared he would not
Bend a poor fellow to prison because it
happened to be his the jurymans
birthday Another jury had agreed up
on a verdict of guilty when the church
bells began to ring They revised their
verdict because a holiday had begun
A burglar was allowed to go free be
cause the man whom he had robbed
bad refused to lend him money This
in the opinion of the jury was a direct
incentive to crime

A New Point in Insurance
The ingenuity of some insurance
companies in devising ways and means
for evading responsibility Is equaled by
nothing on earth A claim was recent
ly made against an accident insurance
company for indemnity by a physician
who had met with an injury in a very
peculiar fashion He had been ill as
the result of an accident received some
time previous but was partly recov
ered While driving he was seized with
a spasm and great exhaustion over
came him He stopped his korse and
proceeded to administer a hypodermic
injection f some powerful stimulant
to which he resorted in such emergen
cies Just as he was about to insert
the needle his horse started The needle
was drive- deep into the flesh inftict
intr a severn and nainful iniurv He
sued for indemnity he being disabled
I for twenty two weeks The judge dis
missed the complaint on the ground
that the injury was not caused through
external violent and accidental means
in the intent and purpose of the policy
This decision will strike the average
thinking individual as somewhat pe
culiar If a mishai due to the sudden
starting of a horse not an accident it
might be interesting to know how the
word could be defined
Folly consists in the drawing of false
conclusions from just principles by
which it is distinguished from mad
ness which draws just conclusions
from false principles
Scoff and Cough
The man who scoffs at the friendly advice
to take something for that cough will keep
on coughing until he changes his mind or
changes his earthly residence A great many
scoffers have been converted by the use of
the standard cough remedy of the past half
century Ayers Cherry Pectoral But some
are scoffing and coughing yet They wheeze
with asthma bark with bronchitis or groan
with the grippe Singular is nt it the number
of stubborn people who persist in gambling
with health and perhaps life as the stake when
they might be effectually cured of cough cold
or lung trouble by a few doses of
Ayers Cherry Pectoral

Air in Bedrooms
Middle aged and all old persons and
those with weak hearts or impaired
lungs have often experienced a feel
ing of suffocation when there is too
much water in the atmosphere Those
who breathe it are to a certain extent
deprived of their due supply of oxygen
The air of bedrooms is exceedingly li
able to be overcharged with watery
vapor the most obvious reason being
that many bedrooms are never warmed
with fires and that their windows are
often left open until dusk and some
times even to the hour of going to bed
A delicate or an aged person leaves
say at 1130 a sitting room in which
the temperature was GS degrees and
enters a cold damp bedroom with a
temperature of say 3S degrees
The air in the sitting room was dry
perhaps a little too dry The air in the
bedroom is loaded with cold watery
vapor So soon as the person enters
the bedroom he chokes and gasps anc
coughs for half an hour at least and
sometimes brings on such an attack
of asthma or as he calls it stuffiness
of the chest that he can hardly breathe
at all He may even lose his nights
sleep and be ill for some days after
such an exposure Common sense says
Make an effort to bring the atmos
phere of the bedroom nearer in point
both of dryness and of warmth to the
atmosphere of the sitting room and
then the occupant will neither gasp nor
choke nor cough but will go to sleep
with ease and comfort

One of the nicest ways to serve fresh
eggs is boiled in the shell Select those
of uniform size wash thein have the
water boiling and put them in Set the
dish containing them where the watei

them stand five minutes The whites
will not be hardened but will be jelly

Tennyson and His Pipes
During the past season much has
been written about Li Hun- Changs
method of smoking The peculiarity in
this habit of one nearer and dearer to
us Tennyson is decidedly unique A
writer says of the great poet
The common clay pipe was his
choice His den was at the top of the
house When he sat down to work in
the morning a huge tobacco jar big
enough for an ancestral urn was at
his feet together with a box full of
white clay pipes Filling one of these
he smoked until was emj ty broke
it in twain and threw the fragments
into another box preparei for their re
ception Then he pulled cit a fresh
pipe filled it smoked it and destroyed
It as before He would not smoke a
pipe the second time

Golden Opportunities
now lamentable that we should go
through the world so misunderstand
ing one another letting slip golden op
portunities for glimpses into mens bet

the veil of charity over faults which
in our blindness seemed to us without
a virtue to balance them Angels turn
sorrowing away from this soul-blindness
of ours and fiends laugh over the
final fall of despair which our help

averted Well for all it is that He
who is Himself without sin more
merciful than man sees gathering tears
in eyes that we deem hard and dry
Alabastlne
Chicago Inter Ocean Feb 23 Readers
of the Inter Ocean have often seen Ala
bastine prominently mentioned in these
columns during many years past The
main counting room on the first floor of
the building was daintily and beautifully
decorated with Alabastine both walls and
ceiling seven years ago and has been
nicely cleaned five times though badly
smoked each year
The same room has just been handsome
ly redecorated in freehand Alabastine
modeling in the delicate tints and other
Alabastine work and the effect is very
beautiful even surpassing the original
work of seven years ago
The original Alabastine the hot water
kind supplied nearly all demand for
ready made wall coatings throughout the
whole of the United States for sixteen
years
This is the same as the original except
being in form adapted for use in cold wat
er Alabastine is a cement that forms
permanent coats admits of recoating from
ttme to time without removing its old
coats and hardens with age

A parrot is said to have lived fifty two

never drink The fact is that they feed
on the herbage when it is heavy with
