The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1898-11-17

England is proverbially slow in
making changes in her laws, espe-
clally as regards criminal proceed
ure. The famous agitation in
favor Of the marriage with dead
wife's sister" law shows how true
this is. For over fifty years now
there has been agitation in Eng
land in favor Of removing the bar
against a man marrying his dead
wife's sister. but the measures in
troduced have inevitably stranded
on the opposition of the spiritual
lords aided by a few ultra-conserv-
ative members of the upper house.
Recently, however, a very con-
siderable step forward has been
made by the passage in parlia-
ment Of a bill permitting one
accused Of felony to testify in
his own behalf. This has here
tofore not been permissible in
England. This law is particularly
interesting from the provisions
which follow it.
1t is provided that on person
put on the stand to testify in his
own behalf shall be asked any
question about any previous
crimes Of which he has been ac-
cused or convicted, nor about his
previous life, in order to invali-
date his credibility as witness.
This provision will probably
meet with criticism in this coun-
try, where the practice has always
been for the prosecuting attorney
to tear the character of the &C.
cused to pieces, thus fixing his
guilt by inference. It is also the
custom here to ask the accused il
he hiss been before convicted Of
crime. Thus using him as {
bureau Of information in order tc
affix heavier penalty should he
admit any previous transgressions
1t is hardly necessary to cal
attention to the general worthless.

Hats and Trimmings Prepared For the

Hats arc not tall, but nevertheless there
is room for great deal Of trimming on
them. Long ostrich plumes have returned
to favor and arc used in profusion, but are
not placed in an upright position. They
arc laid along the brim or curl around the
crown, often starting from the front and
passing down each side, the junction of
the stems in tho middle being covered by
a drapery of lace or velvet decorated with
a joweled ornament.
The stem Of feather should never be

THE SPREAD OF DIrIrTEERuA,

According to an indianapolis ex-
change, investigation In that city has
developed that the prevailing epidemic
OF diphtheria among school children
there has been spread through the dis
tribution Of pencils and penholders in
the schools, and in order 10 beat out
the disease among the children the
school authorities have adopted n sys-
tenn by which each child Is required
10 take Its pencils and pens to the
teachers desk in the afternoon. They
are placed In box, together, and the
next morning are redistributed. Each
child may thus have a different pencil
and pcnholder every day, and as chill
dren often hold them in their mouths
the doctors say the disease IL thus
communicated. Hereafter all pencils
and penholders will be disnfected each
afternoon.
The Paterson Call, from which this
Information Is taken, thinks the best
disinfectant would be Individual prop
erty IN pens and pencils and to stop
public distribution. The proper way to
eliminate an evil, It says, Is to destroy
1t root and branch. and there can be
no doubt Of 1t.

ENGI.AND,s GOLD,

. q . t. . .
There Is n growing belief that the in
huence Of English gold will play a
strong part in the political game now
being played in the East. A contempo-
rary recalls the fact that Britain's
treasury supported the wars against
Napoleon. and eventually accomplished
his downfall. British subsidies to the
Continental powers prevailed in the
end over Napoleonic genius and French
Nalor, and it might have added that
British gold had great deal to do
with the Turkish-Cirecian matter not
many months since. If England de-
oides to fight the Eastern''question with
IT'S money bags no one doubts but that
they will prove effectual.
