JUDGE'S OPINION OF JUETMEN.
"It seems to be a feeling among Jurymen that when they enter the box they ought to bang up their brains with their hats and: become drivelling idiote. This remark was od- dressed to the jury by Judge Barry, at Nans, county Kildare, when, after retiring to find a verdiet, they returned to court to ask a legal question.

The Chairman-Do you wish to object? Mr. Hooper-I don't wish to state my objer- tion now. I simply ask as one of the Justices that the matter be allowed to stand over.
Later, when the application was again con- nidered, all who were not Justicos were asked to leave the Court.
Mr. Hooper thought the Press should be allowed to remain as this, and the other applica- tions, were matters which ought to be considered in public. The meeting was a public one.
The Chairman overraled Mr. Hooper, aut the Praks were excluded.
The application was refused.

GROWTH OF BRITISH INDIA, The India Offce has published the 43rd number of the British India Statistics! Abstract containing comparisons from 1898-99 to 1907-8. The population, according to the last census, was 294,361,056, of whom 232,072,832 were re sident in British territory. This is a growth of 10 millions since 1891, and of 40 millions since 1881. In 1897-8 the gross revenue was 561 millions, out of which there there was a cael balance of 133 millions. Since that year thers has been a continual increase with the exception of 1905-6, and in 1907-8 the rovente amenuted to 71 millions, while the closing cash balance was 18 millions. The land revenue, which is the principal source of income, yielded just over 17 millions in 1897, and in has never been more than two millions above that sam; last year's total was 184 millions.
REBUILDING MESSINA, Now that Messina and Reggio are being rebuilt, the Red Cross Society of Switzerland has started an interesting experiment. It has sent to Bisily to be used in rebuilding the towns, 60 chalets similar to those in use on the Alpe They are of two kinds; the one, destined for Messina, having one upper story, while the other, to be erected in the country towns of Calabris, are of the bungalow type. It is hoped that these wooden constructions will better rssist the earth shocks than stone buildings, and in any case, should they fall, the casualties would be far fewer. Viewed from ontside the chalots, which are much admired by the Sicilians, are exactly the same as those in the Alps; but the disposition of the interior has been modified somewhat to west the needs of Italian life and a southern slime.

LADIES' HAIRDRESSING, "The fashion," said Shakespeare (writing, maybe, with the experience of the married). wears out more apparel than the ranbe should have said the woman. But feminine fashion does not limit itself to apparel. Every year brings its own method of bairdressing. More man is eaved from these vagaries by taking the poet's advise, and, unless he be a minor poet or a fiddle player, getting his hair cut: bat woman, whose greatest glory is her hair, must stady the latest coiffure.
