S 1TURDAY, NOVEMBER" .7, 1897 Insults to Witnesses. Yin many of the State courts through- 01:1; the country, both civil and crimin- a i, it is the habit of “sma1t' ’ counsel to grossly insult witnesses by asking im- pertinent and offensive questions, and by intolerable insolence in manner and bearing. Questions that have no pos~ sible relation to or connection with the case On trial and which are artfully de- vised to ‘exasperate .the witness and muse him or her to make an unfavor- Y able appearance before, and, therefore, an unfavorable impression. on the jury, are the regular order in cross-examin- ations in scores of the “temples of justice.” Questions are put to honest men and good women intended to con- vey to the jury the impression that bad reports concerning the character of the witnesses are to have been in circula- In the course ’of a trial in one of majority of the members of the bar are gentlemen, and, therefore, not addicted to a brutal habit. “Te know, too, that a majority of judges afford protection to witnesses. But a culpable minority of the bench and bar are in great need of reformation as to their manner of conducting trials. ——-—<o-o>——-—-e FEMININE CHAT. Salted peanuts are strong rivals of the salted almonds at women’s lunch- eons. Hose pink velvet turbans are much seen at thee theatre. The tiniest of tiny monograms are in vogue on smart stationery. Black velvet capes trimmed with chinchilla are much worn by the young- er women. The neck scarfs of sable, with many heads, tails and claws, are affected by the tailor-made girl. The dead white lace curtain is rarely seen these days. A creamy tint is con- sidered more artistic. Now is a good tune to get chapped hands unless they are very carefully dried before exposure to the air. The tiny empire fans are just the nicest sort .of a gift for the debutante friend whose ball attire is the delight of her frivolous little heart. One cannot use too many ostrich feathers this season. If the hat be- comes overloaded they can stray into the neck ruche or on a Cape or muff. tion. the Northwestern States a witness named Br,own a farm laborer of good ! 1eputati0n, 11 as asked on or oss-exami- i nation if he 1v as the same Br own who had been indicted for stealing hogs. This was followed by other equally in- sulting questions until Brown became so angry that he got confused, and it was not difficult to make him contradict himself. It is some satisfaction, how- ever, to record that when the insultei of Brown left the shelter of the cou1t- house he found his v ictim outside, and got his deserts f1 om a pai1 of stout fists. In the recent t1 ml of a case before Justice Brookstaver, of the Supreme Court of New York, Mrs. Dorothea Barach gave evidence for the plaintiff, and on cross-examination the apology for a man who acted as lawyer for the defendant asked her this question: “Isn’t it a fact that you were with a man that night who you had met for the first time up in that part of town ? Now, answer that question.” The on- man, fired with indignation, rose to her feet and said: “No, sirifbut I would like to tell you something else. How dare you talk to me, in that way 2’... You have no right to ask me such a ques- tion- I was with my husband, and if he was here you would not dare talk to me in that way.” The jury ga1reLthe.'Vvitne'ss a round of applause, and that fact proves that the lawyer failed to accomplish the object of his shameful insult. The New York Sun reports’ that when order Y was re- stored the fellow who had asked the in- decent question offered an apology; but the Judge said: “No, no; that won’t do. The jury will decide what effect it will have, if any, on the case‘.’ I order the question stricken out. ” The order to strike out was, of course, the proper thing, so far as it went, but it did not punish the offender, nor did it adord any assurance that he and other lawyers of his class will not con- tinue to insult witnesses. All courts owe it to their own dignity and self— respect to protect witnesses. The y owe it to the public, to the witnesses. and to justice and decency to see that every witness gets ftir treatment. Even if a witness .011 the stand is testifying false-' 1y it is fa 1' better to forego rough lan- guage. The law provides proper pen- alties for perjury. I But the lying witnesses are ones most likely to have irrelevant and exasperating questions put to them. Theyare generally so calm and cool that itis useless to try to confuse them. They have their storie’swellcOined in advance and stick to it with unshakable persists not. the only. . the b.1nke1. The N cue Blatt informs us that the term " 'honeymoon’7 was not suggested bv the sweetness of that pei iod of bliss, but oiiginated thi ough a custom of the Germans of old, which c‘ompell‘ed the ne11lv-w edded to diink nothing but mead made of honey du11n0‘ the 30 days following the mar1iage. High collais are quite the correct thing on house'gowns as well ”as coats, and they me sometimes made of fu1. The Medici colla1 appears again, and so also does the Valois, which is sim- plv a decoration, as. it extends a01oss the back only. A dainty luncheon dish consists of - cold chicken cut in small dice Put the chicken into a chafing dish, with half a pint of cream and one-quarter ,of 'a pound of butter rubbed into a large spoonful of flour; pepper and salt to taste. When it boils up 'add three hard-boiled eggs chopped fine and a small wineglassful of lemon juice. Simmer for a moment and serve. The natural antidote for weaknerves is the healthy development of the muscles—that is;"of the general muscu- lar system, instead'of' special muscles This can be done only-by active exercise in the openair, which thor- oughly ’oXygenates the .blood and wastes the muscular tissues, thus pre- paring them to be replenished from the food elements of the blood. This con- stantwaste and rebuilding are vital processes that measure vitality and . ef- fieiency. When these go on health- fully, nervousness is never present, except by some flagrant abuse of the digestive functions, some unwise drain of a vital fluid or some exhausting ten- sion of the mind. Therefore, steer clear of these, and give proper atten- tion to the muscles, and nervousness will be avoided. A 7 ‘ V BLUE PEOPLE BRIGHT.
