MAXIMIL!AN'S REIGN.

The Closing Days of the Ill Fated Empire
49, of Mexico. gs ..I#::
Mrs. Sara Y. Stevenson of Mexico
in The Century writes of Mexican
Society In Maximilian's Time,
1885," She says Of the last days Of
the empire: 49,.
The pomp and dignity of the court
had vanished, and social life in the
capital no longer centered about the
imperial palace. 49,. .. : ...* s.
Even previous to the departure of
the empress the Monday receptions
had been discontinued without
their loss being seriously felt. At
best they had never been other than
dull, formal affairs. The ballroom
was a large hall, always insufficient
ly lighted, and narrowed in the mid
Gle by the platform where stood the
imperial throne under a canopy of
velvet. Here, after their new guests
had been officially presented in an
adjoining hall, the emperor and en-
press seated themselves. Before sup
per they made solemn tour of the
ballroom. The dancing then ceas-
ed, and the crowd stood in chilled
expectancy and made way for them,
each in turn receiving, as they pass
ed, smile, a nod or some common
place word of greeting.
Maximilian was happy in his re-
marks on such occasions. Natural
ly affable and kindly, like most
princes trained to this sort of thing,
his memory for names and faces was
remarkable. We were presented at
court on the first Of the imperial
fortnightly Mondays, and with us,
of course, the larger number of the
guests present, and yet, some weeks
later, when making his tour of the
ballroom, the emperor stopped be-
fore us and inquired about an absent
member of the family, apparently
placing US exactly. Many other in
stances of his memory and power Of
observation in such small matters
were related by others.
He was tall, slight and handsome,
although the whole expression Of
his face revealed weakness and in
decision. He looked and was a
gentleman. His dignity was with
out hauteur.. His manner was at
tractive; he had the faculty of max
ing you feel at ease, and he possess
ed far more personal magnetism
than did the empress.

hers was "a sIrDng, intelligent

hers was a srrOng, intelligent
face, the lines of which were some
what hard at times, and Ter deter
mined expression impressed one
with the feeling that she was the
better equipped Of the two intelli-
gently to cope with the difficulties
Of practical life. tits probable that,
had she been alone, she might have
made a'better attempt at solving the
problems than did Macmillan; at
least such was Marshal Bazaine's
opinion, as expressed before me on
one occasion, during her brief re-
gency, when she had shown special
frmness and clear judgment in deal
ing with certain complicated state
affairs.
She, however, was reserved, some
what lacking in tact and adaptable
ity, and a certain haughtiness of
manner, a dignity too conscious Of
itself, at first repelled many who
were disposed to feel kindly toward
her.. It is more than likely that
under this proud mien she concealed
a suffering spirit, or at least the
consciousness of superiority that
must eface itself. Who will ever
know the travail of her proud heart
and the prolonged strain under
which her mind finally sucoumbed9
For Notwithstanding the prudence
and decided ability with which she
had conducted the difficult affairs of
the realm during the emperor's alb
sence in 1864 it was limited that on
his return she was allowed little say
in public affairs and that her advice
when given was seldom followed. !.
After her departure even the SEM
blance Of a court disappeared.

TAKING THE OATH.
kissing the Bible and Other Forms Of
Legal Swearing.

kissing the Bible and Other Forms Of
Legal Swearing.
Once again has attention been
drawn to the danger of kissing the
book" The medical officer of health
to the Wareham rural district coun-
Gil attributes the death Of police
constable to acute liberation Of the
throat, which was produced by the
insanitary state of the Testament be
pressed to his lips before giving evil
dence at the petty sessions a few
days before he died. It is strange
that the people who complain Of the
danger Of kissing the book should
be unaware that no witness is
obliged to incur it. The oats act,
1883, provides that 'tif any person
to whom an oath is administered
desires to swear with the uplifted
hand, in the form and manner in
which an oath is usually admins
tered in Scotland, he shall be per-
mitted SO to do, and the oath shall
be administered to him in such form
and manner without further ques-
tion."
There is nothing in the Scotch
formula which explains why this
provision should be practically
dead letter in the courts. The oath
that is supposed to be binding on the
other side of the Tweed is in these
words: II swear by Almighty God
and as I shall answer to God at the
great day of judgment that will
tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the TRUTH Not many
months ago county court judge
allowed a witness to cover the Bible
with clean paper before he kissed it,
and the practice seemed to be spread
ing until it was suggested that it af~
forded a complete justification of
the propensity of many witnesses to
kiss their thumbs.
''Kissing the book' did not be-
come part of the ceremony Of oath
taking in England until the seven
teenth century. It is clear that the
practice did not prevail in Coke's
time, since in dealing with the ad-
ministration of the oath he makes
no reference to it. "Itis called
corporal oath," he writes, because
the witness toucheth with his hand
some part of the Holy Scriptures. -
England is almost the only country
in which "kissing the book" is
known. The witnesses at French
trial have very simple ordeal to
pass through before they unfold
their tales. The judge, seated be-
meath a crucifx, says, ''You swear
to tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the trutha" and the
witness, lifting up. his right hand,
answers, II swear it. - The express
sion ''the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth is used
in Italy and BELGIUM as we'll as in
England and France The Austrian
witness is sworn before crueifix
between two lighted candles, and,
with his right hand lifted, makes
this declaration: II swear by God
the Almighty and All Wise that I
will speak the pure and full truth
and nothing but the truth in answer
to anything may be asked by the
court" A witness in Spanish
court is required to kneel on his
right knee and to place his hand
on an open Bible. ''Will you swear
by God and by these holy gospels
to speak the truth to all you may
ba asked2'' inquiries the judge.
Eyes, swear answers the witness.
'~Then if thus you do" says the
Judge, "God will reward you, and, if
not, will require it Of you. st.
