THE ENGLISH JUDGES BLACK car.

From The Gentlemans Magazine.
There is particular part OF the dress be-
longing to the order Of the coif-the black cap
which the judges in England always pat over
their wigs when passing sentence az death.
Little is known concerning this black cap and
many mistakes have been made about d. Ser.

Golf" previously referred 10. says. The black
cap, or sentence cap. of the judges and ssrgeanS
Is certainly not the Golf as Lord Campbell re-
peatedy states. II is on the contrary. the cover
ing expressly assigned to veil the colt on the
only occasion when the Golf is required to be
hidden BY the ancient privileges ~ the SER
geants the Golf was not TO be taken of even In
the royal presence. The chief insignia of the Or
der was to be so displayed when sitting on the
bench or pleading at the bar but this RUE seems
always to have been departed from IN passing
sentence OF death
THE head OF the administrator OF Justice was
then covered as n Token OF sorrow. by the black
sentence cap. This cornered cap. black zap. or
sentence cap ii is sometimes termed, is
piece OF limp black cloth which is put Oh TOP OF
the wig. The cap is rarely put on except when
a prisoner has been convicted Of murder. ana
then the judge places the cap on the top OF his
wig and passes sentence of death"
When the judges sit in the criminal courts
and when attending church in state they al
ways carry the black cap in their hands as
part OF their regular judicial attire. The black
cap Is also worn by the judges on the day whe1

A SAILOR PRINCE.
HENRY OF PRUSSIA AND HIS SIMPLICITY
OF CHARACTER

OF CHARACTER
It world re wrong TO Judge the character of
Prince Henry Of Prussia from the astounding
speeches which he addressed to hts brother. the
Kaiser, on taking his departure from Germany
for China. In the first place. there is always =
tendency TO sentimentality In the German char.
acter which IL entirely absent In THAI Of the
Englsh-speaking races. and. secondly. the Ut
terances Of Prince Henry and OF the Kaiser
have been wilfully distorted and exaggerated In
translation.
One instance will suffice. The Kaiser In speak
ing Of his countrymcn made use Of the express
sion "the German Michael" "Michae" being the
generic slang name for the North German. Just
In the same way as Pat Is the kindly nick
name Of every Irishman. or Tommy Atkins'
that Of every English soldier In English and
American newspapers however, this has been
rendered jus, az If the Emperor had agostro
phized his sailor brother az the Ar hange
