Every day We see YOUNG men and

closely associated WITH OLD AGE.

years do not justify it. The girls laugh at
the young men so marred-the young man

TRIALS IN ITALY.
Criminal Court Methods There uttsrly
Different From Ours.

Criminal court trials In Italy are con-
Quoted under very simple system.
though utterly different from the sys
TEN which governs procedure in Amer
lean or English courts. says an eS.
change
The trial takes place before three
Judges and n jury, TO which are added
certain number of extra jurors. who
are sworn and are present In court to
hear the testimony and are held ready
to take the place In the jury box OF
any juror who may in the course of
the trial be incnpacltated from further
service The depOsitions of all the
Witnesses have been taken in writing
and signed before the trial begins.
Each of the Judges has copy OF these
before him. The prosecutor and the
counsel for the accused furnish TO the
court list OF the witnesses they de-
sire called. and these are all summon
ed by the court which has power to
punish nonattendance.
The first thing that happens when
the trial begins Is the questioning Of
the accused by the presiding Justice.
In Italy. as In most of continental Eu-
rope. u man accused of crime Is con.
sidered by the law to be the very best
witness to his own guilt or innocence.
In England and America the accused
need not testify unless he chooses. In
Italy he is the first and most impor-
tNnt witness
The accused is allowed the widest
scope In defending himself He has
right TO tell his own story In his
own way, to offer anything he can In
the way of Justification or palliation.
Even hearsay evidence Is admissible.
The judge has absolute discretion as
to what testimony may be received
and what excluded, and any judge
who exercised this discretion unfairly
would be an object of execration. Bias
on the part of one judge is possible,
but there are always the other two
judges on the bench with him. and
they are perfect check against un-
fairness.
When the accused has given his tes-
timoEy he is confronted personally
with his accuser. The accuser is nee.
essarily the principal witness against
him. Strictly speaking, the prisoner
has no right TO interrupt his accuser
while the latter Is telling his story,
bur in practice the judges permit It.
and the conformation sometimes be-
comes three cornered debate between
accuser, accused and Judge. the latter

Crystal palOce was originally built
IN Hyde park for the great exhibition
OF 1851, being afterward removed to
its present site and re-erected. At
the first state opening of the palace by
Queen Victoria 1t was urged that the
usual artillery salute should not be
fired, the reason given being that the
concussion would shiver the glass roof
and the company assembled below. in
cluding her majesty, would be cut into
mincemeat Dire were the predictions
of the scaremongers when the design
for the palace was made public The

wreck it., while the heat engendered by
the sun pouring its rays upon the
domed glass roof would be so terrific
that no human beings could withstand
