Prison Life In France.

There are twenty-one central prisons
in France for prisoners with sentences
of five years and over. The cell system
is adopted in prisons for the detention
of prisoners not sent up for more than
year and day, but in the central
prisons as many as 100 sleep in one ward,
certain of their number being RESPONSE
BILE for the preservation of order. The
dormitories are lighted, and there are
openings from the galleries through
which the guards may inspect them.
BY day the men work in ateIierS, fifty
or hundred in each. Shoes, chairs,
woven fabrics, buttons, ,umbr ella-ferules,
Chinese lanterns, etc., ar manufactured,
and such light work as CLOSING paper,
sewing copy books and making hair
ornaments is done. The work is let to
contractors by tariff fixed by the local
Chamber of Commerce, to prevent any
undue competition with free labor. Half
of the profits of the prisoners work
goes to the State; he is allowed to spend
a quarter in procuring special articles of
diet, etc., and the remaining quarter is
paid to him on leaving, SO that dis
charged convict often finds himself with
from 500 to $500 cash capital. A large
proportion of the prisoners use this in
setting themselves up in trade or in pro-
curing passage to other lands. These
rewards of industrial training itself, CON
stitute together the main and tolerable
counterbalance to the otherwise grave
evils of association. The element of
hope is always prominent in French
prisons, and it is the sheet-anchor of

Humors of the Law.

Persons who are unfamiliar with court
proceeding are often surprised and per-
picked at the number of objections that
are made to questions asked witnesses.
Quite an amusing incident in this con-
nection once occurred in the Seventh
District Court in this State. A trial for
murder was progressing. A witness
was testifying that on the morning after
the murder he met the defendant at
breakfast, and the latter "called the
waiter and said''-" Hold on !" exclaim-
ed the attorney for the de fense, 81 OBJ
ject to what he said" Then followed a
legal argument of about an hour and q
half on the objection, which was over
ruled, and the court decided that the
witness might state what was said
"Well, go on and state what was said to
the waiter" remarked the district at
torney, flushed with his legal victory.
"Well, replied the witness, "he said,
Bring me rare beefsteak and a couple
of soft boiled egg"
In one of our courts little while ago
an old lady was being examined as q
witness. To almost every question ask
ed, the counsel on the opposite side
would jump up and say, 81 object as
irrelevant, immaterial and incompe-
tent" This appeared to annoy the old
lady, who seemed inclined to make a
personal matter of it. Finally the in
terrogatory was put, 4" Did you see those
men in that field on that day ?" " May
be what 1 saw wouldn't be evidence -
was her answer, because saw them

Who Are The Ones that Get Rich.

1t Is not true that the great victories of
life are to the sharp and immoral man,
as rule. Here and there, by sharpness
and cunning, men rise into wealth, but
that wealth Is not of kind to remain.
1t takes certain amount of virtue, of
self-denlal, of morality, to lay up and
keep money. In the lives of nearly all
rich men there have been periods of
heroic self denial, of patient industry,
of Christian prudence. Circumstances
did not make these men rich. The
highest moral prudence made them rich.
While their companions were dancing
away their youth, or drinking away
their middle age, these men were devoted
to small conomies-putting self-indul-
gence entirely aside. If our correspond
ent or our readers will recall their COM
panions, we think the first fact they
will be impressed with is the measure
of equality with which they started in
the race for competence or wealth. The
next fact they will be impressed with is
the irregularity of the end. Then, if
they make an inquisition into the causes
of the widely varying results, they will
be profoundly impressed with the in
significant part circumstances" have
played in those results. Circumstances
Why, the rich mans son who had all
the " circumstances" of the town has
become beggar. The poor, quiet lad,
the only son of his mother, and she
widow, who could only earn money
enough to procure for her boy the COM
monest education, is man of wealth
and has become patron of his native
village. The man who possesses and
practices virtue makes his own circum-
stances. The selfdenying, prudent man
creates around himself an atmosphere
of safety where wealth naturally takes
refuge-provided, of course, that the
man has the power to earn it, either in
production, or exchange, or any kind of
manual or intellectual service.
