German Justice.

A curious illustration OF the prinri-
pie of responsibility abroad is afford
ed by a civil damage suit growing out
of the breaking of plate glass win
dow in q German town. A witness had
testified as follows:
las l was passing down the street
in front Of the window | saw big
stone come whirling through the s't.
I did not know whence it came. |
saw It coming through the air. and |
bad Just time enough to dodge to save
myself from being hit by it,
The witness was sharply questioned
upon the point whether the stone that
broke the window would have struck
him had he not lodged it, He was
then dismissed Eventually the deci-
sion Of the magistrate was this:
''Inasmuch as If the witness had not
unfortunately ducked his head the
glass would not have been struck by
the stone. he is hereby adjud.ed re-
sponsible for the breaking of the win
dow and is ordered to pay to the own
er the value of the same" -ChicagO

A Dangerous Precedent.

The best case which have seen Of
law versus justice and common sense
is one which Montaigne relates as hav-
ing happened in his own day. Some
men were condemned to death for MUIR
der. The judges were then informed
by the officers Of an inferior court that
certain persons in their custody had
confessed themselves guilty Of the
murder in question and had told 30
circumstantial tale that the fact was
placed beyond all doubt. Nevertheless
1t was deemed SO bad precedent to
revoke sentence and show that the
law could err that the innocent men
were delivered over to execution =

Movino Pictures In japan.

The japanese take the moving pic
ture with the seriousness betting the
national character They enjoy it thor
oughly. but they like it best when it
makes them sad. The favOrite theme
is the allegorical play that represents
the warrior fighting for righteousness.
Next in popularity comes the pathetic
picture The strictly educational film
is also popular, and there is always
applause for good scenery. But the
love story is never represented in the
Japanese moving picture 1t would be
an outrage to modesty and violation
Of decency and therefore intolerable.
Pictures derogatory to the dignity Of
officials and Of policemen are forbid

revolutionary ideas in the minds Of the
