The more experience we acquire
the wiser we become, and the less
prone to condemn the faults that
are everywhere revealed to the
practiced reader of human nature.
The greater part of this life is
spent in learning how to live and
act our part in the affairs of the
sphere of usefulness in which our
abilities are directed. When the
lessons of experience are learned,
their value understood and their
wisdom used in shaping conduct
and views of life,' the follies of
others are weighed in a ulster scale
and judged with stronger lean
ing towards charity and tolerance,
for down the gamut of life the one
frozen truth that is impressed more
literally than others is that what
we often condemn the loudest is
what attracts us the strongest,
pleases us the best and satisfies
the desires we wish to conceal.

THE KLEPTOHANIA FAKE.

THE kleptomania plea advanced
to save Mrs Castle from merited
punishment, has again directed at
tention to the ease in which gilded
thieves can escape the penalties
the common herd are forced to suf-
fer. AS is usual with kleptoman-
iacal shop-lifters and pick-pockets,
Mrs. Castle faced English law
armed with the weapons of refine
ment, social position and the in
fuence Of wealth, reinforced by the
testimony of paid medical experts
and the sympathy Of a morbid SEN
timentality which can see no wrong
in the wearers of silken garments,
and, as might be expected, tied the
hands Of justice. It is argued that
her position in life, her wealth,
with it's means of procuring every
needed comfort and luxury, and
her early training combine to prove
mental responsibility for her
criminality. This may be true,
but it also proves inherent deprav-
ity, and depravity is crime when
found among those whose financial
standing will not support the plea
of kleptomania.
It is literally true that there are
many people who can not help
stealing, and, it may be added, en-
gaging in the more serious crimes.
Moral in everything else, they are
yet driven by an irresistible i'm
pulse to the commission of some
one class of crime, having at the
time a conscious knowledge that it
is criminal, and with perfect dis
approval of the wrong they commit.
Of abnormal emotions and highly
susceptible to criminal suggestion,
the dangers and excitement attend
ing crime have a morbid fascina-
ton that overrides the fear of de-
lection and consequent disgrace
and which drives them irresponsi-
bly, to the special crime that alone
can satisfy their criminal bent. For
this class there should be sympa-
thy, but there should also be pro-
lection to society. The higher in
the social scale the involuntary
criminals are found the less con-
sideration they should receive.
The poor always have the excuse
of poverty for stealing, but the

rich have nothing to present in ex-
tenuation but their natural crimi-
nality, and the moral effect of a
dose of the penitentiary admins
tered to a few aristocratic thieves
would be valuable in checking the
fashionable disease of kleptomania.
The influences of wealth and
social position that dominate Eng
lish law are just as strong in this
country, if not more so. Law
stands cringing and abashed when
the jingle of coin is heard in the
pockets of the cultured thief.
Even when the influential are sent
to prison it is almost impossible to
keep them there. Technicalities,
which are never thought of in or
binary cases, always rise up to I'M
lock the cell door of the soiled child
of refinement, and bid him again
breathe free air forgiven and I'M
shackled.
Greater respect and more cheer
full obedience would be accorded
law if a few examples were made
of the higher class Of thieves.
Having better opportunities in life
they are farther removed from
temptation than the humble, and
when they descend to crime de-
serve less sympathy.

COOP feeling is a substitute for
friendship that is worthy of Guilt
walton. Circumstances often pre-
vent the existence Of that warm
sympathetic attachment between
man and man that forms friendship,
and which brings them together in
mutual confidence for mutual in
terest. But the associations that
surround social intercourse present
opportunities for the interchange
of little courtesies which, though
seemingly unimportant, are pro-
ductive of that feeling of good fell
lowship so necessary to mutual
recognition of the qualities that
men admire and strive to cultivate.
A word spoken with the charm of
politeness. a friendly nod or smile
without the formality Of etiquette
or a gracious acknowledgment of a
favor received are fraught with
possibilities for good, the least of
which is good feeling.

CONSTANT application is the
cardinal virtue of industry. Into
every duty the full force of energy,
the entire strength of ability and
the complete power of intelligence
should be directed to accomplish
it in a manner that will please not
only self, but those who may reap
advantage from labor we'll per-
formed. Good results follow good
endeavor. To be possessed of abil-
ity and not use it's attachments, is
to refuse to act the allotted part ma
ture has selected for her every crea-
ton. The full strength of indi-
vidual power is never developed
without constant application to the
work it is best fitted to do, and
every achievement, great or hum

THE MIRROR is weekly paper published
In the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded
In 1887 by the prisoners and is edited and man
aged by them. Its objects are to be home
newspaper; to encourage moral and intellectual
improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS of the prisoner;
to disseminate pathological information and to aid
In dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen mans self-redemptiOn.
The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support If at any time there should
accrue surplus of funds. the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.

The strong allies of vice are
vulgarity and intemperance. Mar
shalled under their banner are all
the evils that grease the wheels of
the juggernaut of vice. The habits
of the vulgar are the temptations
of the Incorporate: the excuses of
the one are the fruits of the other.
and around both are entwined the
laurels of victories that vice won
from virtue.

THE RARITY OF AINCERITY,

In ALL phases Of life the love of
sham permeates the social fabric.
In all classes and all degrees of re-
speciality can be found people
whose manners are false, whose
culture is assumed and whose liv-
ing is artificial, and who, in their
expression of character, betray but
surface indications of their true
self. They live in an atmosphere
Of sham and deception, knowing
no observable standard of truth, no
openness of nature and no sincerity
of thought, but mask everything
with the unreal and dishonest.
The poor affect to enjoy the lux
uries of the rich, concealing,
through false pride. their own
meager resources and standard of
living: the ignorant ape the knowl-
edge of the educated, their manners
and their culture: the worthless
and incompetent profess the ability
and experience Of the capable, and
around all is the ignis fatuus glare
of vanity-the vanity that sets So
cial position above all other human
achievements, all truth and all
morals. The spirit of insincerity
pervades everything social, moral
or business, and knows no fetch
but deception. Naturalness is at a
discount in business. The smile
of guile that passes for urbane
geniality is of far more value to
the merchant than unadorned
truth. On the hypothesis that
people like to be humbugged if
they are not told of it, bargains are
made and contracts consummated.
Pride is a potent factor in keep
ing alive this spirit of insincerity.
There is no one that does not like
to be we'll thought of, flattered
with praise and valued above real
WORTH. and in the strife to enjoy
these sweet bonmots of palaver, re-
sort is made to- the devices of trick
cry and the assumed manners of
deception, by which personality
and ability can be stamped with
false labels and a bogus certificate
given character. Ability is the
one thing men wish overrated. It
cuts to the quick to be declared
untitled for any position that envy
covets or ambition cherishes.
Failure and defeat are easily met
if their arrival can be attributed to
anything other than lack of ability
The object of all moral training
is to give the full measure Of sin
cerity to character. Genuine ex-
preston of thought, emotion or
action, which flow, spring-like,
naturally and pure from the heart,
free from fraudulent affectation,
indicate the fruition of all precepts
embraced in all moral standards.
To be frank is to be honest, and
honesty is the sum total of all other
virtues. An open face is magnet
that attracts all that is worthy of

The story, waited from Cuba, of
the barbarous treatment accorded
British shipwrecked sailors by
Spanish officers who mistook them
for Americans, strikingly illus
trates the intense hatred borne by
the Spaniards for this country.
The tender regard the government
has displayed for the feelings of
Spain at every stage of the Cuban
imbroglio is in disgraceful con-
trast with the clustering spirit
shown in dealing with the CHILEAN
difficulty few years ago. Then
there was great ado over a mere
street brawl, and the navy yards
were set working night and day
fitting out ornaments to overawe
two by four republic that should
be humored instead of bullied.
But now, with every ~provocatioa;
the government remains quiescent
while a back number monarchy
sends it's agents of cruelty and ra-
pine at our very doors to enact
crimes the story of which reads
like a chapter from the history of
the dark ages. If justice were done
the Spaniards in Cuba would be
exterminated with less feeling of
pity than is shown a rabid dog.

popular opinion of the Castle case

Wilson's Photographic Maya
zine for November has among it's
other attractive features, an article
entitled Negative Manipulation
for Amateurs" contributed by
Thomas Aquinas. The Importance
of a thorough understanding of
the sequences of the development
and printing of the negative is not
sufficiently realized by the average
photographer. Mr.. Aquinas treats
this branch of the art-science in
an intelligent and comprehensive
manner. The number also con-
tains a timely article on "Photo-

study. The pictures, exhibiting
the latest ideas in photography,
are superb creations and consti-
tute a leading feature of the num-

The Hypnotic Magazine for
November opens with an address
by the editor, who is evidently not
full of confidence over the success
of the venture, although, Judging
from the large number of dabblers
