SECOND THOUGHTS.
An ancient lander gives to woman the privilege of changing her mind. This wo gite only denounce it, for it must be admitted by every impartial student of humhe nature that the specific weakness of the female mind (if it has a weakness) Jis its stubborn reluctance to change a purpose or an opinion. Consider the case of Lady Macbeth. It was not shy, but he lord, who was infirm of purpose. This introduction is necessary to i just conside ration of the achievement of Mrsé Eruma War of Philadelphia. The superfed will and in it matter; for a sneeri A elrar insight discovers that it is a meigor- able example of the triumph of pure pen son over hubit qui prejudice, Only by women are such victories won. Ware was serving on a jury in a listrict | court, Four peop had been slain in a level crossing, and their heirs sol, the railway company for damage. The jury Gound the case difficult, and late at night, after argument had been acrimonious for many hours. Mrs. Ware signed, with the other eleven, a verdict for the railway company. The proceedings have some thing strange about them to the "English mind, for the heir of the four dead claimed only £33, which sees a curiousty

She went down to the court in the morn ing, and before the Judge broke the seais of the verdict he declared that it was wrong, for after a night of reficetion she! know she should not have signed it. The' Judge, who must recive our sympathy, had sine difficulty in knowing what to do next. He arrived at the very mas culite conclusion that he would accept thei verdict, but allow a motion to set is aside. What Mrs. Ware said to that we do not know. It might even. be more in- teresting to know what the other jurors, said to Mrs, Ware.. But, more importat than all these things, is the great prece dent. We do not advise all who serve juries to think their verdicts over after they have left the court and reverse them in public. Such action is not likely to to popular, and should only he attempted by strong and righteous souls. Bui to

EX-WIFE'S CLAIM FOR £8,600,000.
Another legal dispute between Mr. Fraok J. Gould and his divorced wife, Edith Kelly, the dancer, will shortly come before the First Chamber of the Civil Tribunal of Versailles on Edith Kelly's petition for a division of her former husband's pro- perts. Her claim, amounting to 800,000,000 (about £8,500,000 at the present rate of exchange), is based on the contention that as no definite marriage contract was eľa tered into with Mr. Gould she is now cư% titled to an equal share of his property in France, a well-known French faw provid ing that where o marriage catract made property rights are equally divided between husband and wife, Mr. Gould's advisers contend that neither he nor
