over the other with rampant knots of

Let us see how French justices proceed
with ''Frenchmen in trouble"
When, in England. a man is arrested
and informed of the charge brought
against hun, he says, VERY well, you
will have to prove it," and the inspector
at the police station says to him. Il must
caution you against making any state
ment-in fat. anything you say will be
used as evi6 ence against you" When,
in France, man is accused--say, for in
stance, of stealing a watch-he is brought
before the commissary of police, who in
variably says to him, You are charged
with stealing watch; the best thing you
can do is to make full confession, and
the judge will be lenient with you"
If he is guilty and knows that the case
is clear against him. he Immediately
makes a clean breast of it, and, as a rule,
is quickly and leniently dealt with. But
if he is innocent, or, if guilty, he thinks
he can get out of the scrape, he of course
answers, You are mistaken; | am not
guilty" and his troubles begin He is
sent to prison, and the following day is
taken before the examining judge, called
JUICE obstruction. not in public, but in
private room. There this magistrate
says to him point blank: You say you
are not guilty, of course. If we were to
listen to all of you. none would be guilty
Now, enough of that nonsense. You are
charged with stealing watch; prove
that you are innocent" Now, if the
prisoner is guilty, it must be difficult for
him to prove that he is innocent: but, for
that matter, if he is innocent, it may be
Just as difficult. If the first conner were

VIl-FRENCH COURTS.

They Are Not Much Like English Courts
and They Resemble Those of America
Still Less.
President Dupin, the greatest French
jurisconsult of the century, once said;
''If | were accused of having carried off
the towers of Notre Dame in my pockets
would run away" A more severe
criticism upon our judicial procedure
could not have been pronounced. But
is it too severe? Could you believe, for
instance, that upon the least suspicion a
French magistrate may order, on his own
responsibilities responsibility which
no one has right to question: search
or an arrest in any private house? He
may issue such warrant upon any pre-
sumption uncorroborated upon oath.
In France we give almost unlimited
arbitrary powers to legion of magis-
trates, whom we expect to live in state
of independence on a salary of $500 to
$500 year, and who are, for the most
part, the failures of our bar. warrant
that there are more judges in French
town Of $4,000 inhabitants than in the
whole of England-quite as many, at all
events. Judicial reforms have long been
demanded by the Democratic party, but
none have been made; and am bound
to say that nothing excites public minds
in France less than what passes in the
courts of justice. When the Frenchman
has paid his taxes he thinks the govern
ment ought to see that everything is
right. There are few coun ries, as
have said elsewhere, in which Demo
cratic tendencies are more marked than
in France. In spite Of this, public opin-
ion does not concern itself about judicial
proceedings; because there is no country
in which authority is less respected, a.
though, strange to say, there is not one
in which it is more feared and more
easily submitted to. We seem to accept
all forms of tyranny in order to shirk all
responsibility. Democracy with us chief
iy consists in holding up to ridicule
despotism, the acts of which we in turn
approve by holding I'D to ridicule thess
who are the victims of it.

a Few words 1 must say about the
theatre. Theatre going is a pleasure not
confined to the refined, the well to do,
and the middle classes in France; it is
national thing, and the humblest enjoy
and criticise what they see on the stage
as acutely as do the occupants of the
stalls and boxes. This class will enjoy
not only melodramas and farces, but
psychological plays. Victor Hugo re-
lates that, at the funeral of Mile. Mars,
the famous actress, he heard men in
blouses and with sleeves turned up say
very true and very acute things concern
ing the theatre, art and poetry. l have
always enjoyed listening at the door of
Partisan theatres to workmen making
their remarks on the plays and the ac-
tors, or seeing them make themselves at
home in the upper gallery. Look at
them in the summer, with their coats off,
eating their supper and discussing across
the room the merits of the acts they have
heard
Every Frenchman is an observer of
human nature, and | know very few
countrymen of mine who have not once
or twice put on blouse and casquette,
and taken seat in the upper gallery.
You Will often hear these Paris workmen
make very witty remarks. l was once

Nile. Duvergier was stout lady, and
the actor seemed for a moment to be re-
fecting how he would set about it. ''If
you can't manage it," cried an occupant
of the gallery, make two journeys, you

The French are very strict with their
actors. If a comedians part should con-
sist of simply having to open the door
and say, Dinner is served" he would
be expected by the French public to be
an actor. The Theatre Francois is not
only a great playhouse, it is a great
school of manners. Mothers take their

shall, the day after his arrest, appear be-
fore a judge. The letter of the law is
carried out, but not the spirit; for no ex-
animation takes place, and very often nc
sworn evidence exists. The prisoner
goes back to jail, and the magistrate be-
gins to get up the case against him. II
the accusation is of a serious character,
the man is placed au secret, that is to
say, that not only he cannot commune
cate with his friends, much less see them,
but he cannot even see his counsel or re-
ceive any legal advice. How long is he
to remain in preliminary Imprisonment
before being sent to tribunal?
This entirely depends on the good
pleasure of the examining magistrate
who is allowed by the law to keep him a
year under examination. If at the end
of the year the case is not sent for trial,
the prisoner is discharged. | should,
however, hasten to add that, as rule,
for an ordinary theft, or an offense that
does not require long investigation, the
accused undergoes only from two to six
months preliminary Imprisonment be-
fore he is brought before his judges
During that time he is brought once or
twice month to the Palais de Justice,
to be asked by the judge if 'he still per-
sist in his denial" These visits to the
examining judge are most dreaded by
French prisoners, especially in Paris
They sometimes have six, eight hours to
wait for their turn, in a little dungeon
six feet square, where they get neither
food nor air. 1t is nothing short of tor
ture, this fnquisitorial examination in
private. When in the evening the pris-
oner sees his cell again, it must look to
him like paradise compared to the hole
he had to creep into during the day. At
last, one day, he receives intimation that
his trial will take place
But, now, mark well where the system
is wrong. The prosecuting magistrates,
called the magistrature debout because
they prosecute standing), and the judg-
ing magistrates, called the magistrature
assise because they try cases in sitting
position), belong to the same set In
deed, the prosecuting magistrates are in
time promoted to be sitting magistrates.
The prosecution is not, therefore, indie
pendent, as the defense is. The prison
er's case is settled before he appears in
court; for both prosecuting and sitting
magistrates have held q consultation
over it, and the speech of the prosecu-
ton is merely delivered for FORMS sake.

Making Scrap Books.

Few books can be made more valuable
if rightly made up. In almost every pa
per we find something we would like to
keep, but to save the whole paper takes
too much space, besides 1t is so hard to
find special article in pile of papers.
To overcome the difficulty we hit upon the
following plan:
We took twelve books as nearly uni
form size as we could find. Government
reports are the best and cheapest as they
cost but postal card. Remove two out
of every three leaves if you paste on both
sides of the leaf, and it is the best way.
Label your books with what ever sub
ject you wish, get an equal number Of en-
velopes similarly labeled and you are
ready. When something suits you in a
newspaper cut it out and put it in the en-
velope. When few scraps have thus &C
cumulated paste them into the books.
We paste ours only at the top leaving
the bottom free which makes it possible to
put another under them, thus economizing
space. When your book is full it will
close as, squarely as when new.
1t is good for children to begin to save
scraps, and once in the habit they will
never give it up. We value our scrap
library as much as we would encyclopedia
indeed, we find many things there which
our cyclopedia does not mention. All it
costs is time, and time might be more dis
advantageously employed. - Vermont

Massachusetts, Cotton Mill Coming
South.

A dispatch to the Boston Herald from
Newburyport, April 20, says: The direc-
tors of the Whitefeld cotton mills have
decided to remove the machinery and
equipment Of their mill here to Spartan
burg, s. c., where the company has
large mill under construction. The agent
of the company, Mr.. Stephen Greene, states
to Herald representative that this step
has been taken because of desire to avail
themselves Of the immense advantages the
South possesses for manufactures, among
which he claims are cheaper raw material,
cheaper fuel, lower cost of living and con-
sequentlY cheaper labor, and last, but not
least, more favorable legislation, or rather
absence of legislation, in regard to labor
in South Carolina. Mr.. Greene is of the
opinion that the legislature of Massachu-
sets by continued so called labor legisla-
ton is gradually crowding manufacturers
to the wall, and will ultimately drive all
manufacturers South. The Whitefeld mills
have been under its present management
about two years the present number of
employees is 425, weekly pay roll $4,000. 1t
is not believed that the mills at the South
will be ready for occupancy before early
fall, which gives the operatives a chance
to turn around. The buildings cover
three-fourths of an acre of ground, 49,
900 feet of foorage surface, with steam
and fire apparatus in excellent condition.
1t will not remain unoccupied, as it was
ascertained yesterday that one of two en-
terprises would undoubtedly occupy the
premises. The firm of Lockwood, Greene
& Co., mill engineers, connected with the
above corporation, will remain in this
city. for the present at least and. perhaps
permanently.

Time is Money.

Time well employed produces money or
an equivalent gain of some kind. Time
idled away or wasted away upon some un-
necessary or useless labor not only yields
no return, but represents loss of oppor
tunity that cannot be replaced. One may
regain any other thing that is squandered
save time. Once gone, it is gone for all
eternity. No more important lesson can
be given to the young man than on the
value of time. It may be passed by I'M
heeded, for on this subject more than any
other men seem determined to learn BY ex-
perience; but warnings should neverthe-
less be given, that there may be as early
an awakening as may be to the irreparable
loss of wasted time. Even the best of men
arrived at middle age are sure to have re-
grets for lost opportunities, for wasted
time. Looking back with the knowledge
gained by experience, they can see how
much better they might have ordered their
lives if they had made the best possible
use of their time. Such knowledge cannot
be expected in younger men. The time
will come when they, too, will look back
with regret; but they should be given
early warning from the experience of
others, and be taught as well as may be
that time is money, not in the vulgar sense,
but in that higher one which represents
money as merely symbol of things that
are good to have.-Baltmsore Sun.

The Value of Experience.

a well known writer has said that by
the time we have learned how to live we
are ready to die. 1t seems to be one of
the most difficult things to profit by the
experience of others. Each person prefers
to test for himself the quicksands from
which he is warned, and thus the same
ground is often gone over. If older peo-
pie could learnsto treat the young with
less arrogance of superior wisdom, great
deal of trouble would be avoided. There
is nothing more exasperating in the world
than to see our own youthful foibles re-
peated by our children and it is natural, to
condemn with special severity that which,
possibly, bitter experience has taught us
the folly Of A little confidence rather
than severe and often Ito the receiver)
senseless commands will avail in such
cases The young are apt to be extraVa-
CANT, to love beautiful surroundings SO
much that in an effort to secure portion
of the beautiful world they neglect the
means toward that end which is com
potency of this worlds goods. When an
established income is secured, the young
man or woman can buy pictures and many
other minor things which it would be
gross extravaganza for them to purchase
before. Great patience and only patience
can avail in such cases. Wise, motherly
words, and complete confidence of the
child who is at fault is the only remedy
for the repetition of extravaganza. Harsh
methods avail nothing, and only serve to
build up barrier between the parent and
child. Nothing is more unfortunate than
for any word or accidental occurrence to
make child feel that he is jnjustly
treated or put under irksome or harsh re-
straint. a recent writer says, not until
we are fellow workers with God in his
universe do we become his free children.
The mother must make her daughter feel
she is fellow-worker with her, must con-
fide in her and treat her as an equal, gain
her opinions, even if she at the same time
wisely and secretly guides these opinions
Too many parents treat children who have
arrived at years of discretion as if they
were slaves to do and follow their COM
mands, and are shocked at their iDgrati-
tude if they find them unwilling to accept
such positon.-IAe Presbyterian.
