A good story has been told of a Esping
officers having been victimized by
brother officer-who was noted for his
cool deliberation and strong nerves-and
of his "getting square" with him in the
following manner. The cool joker-Cap-
tain Blakeney-was always quizzing the
Esping officer-a lieutenant his ner-
vousness, and said one day at mess, "Why,
nervousness is all nonsense; tell you, no
brave man is ever nervous" "Well," in
quired his lisping friend, chow would you

thertain if you put out your nothe you'd
get peppered ?" ''How?" said the Cap
tain, with look at his brother officers.
"Why, take it cooly, and spit on the
fusee." The party broke up, and all re-
tired.
The next morning number of soldiers
were assembled on parade; when along
came the lisping Lieutenant. Lazily open
his eyes, he remarked to cluster of Off
GERS, 81 want try an ekthperiment thith
morning, and see how ektheedingly cool

walked deliberately into the Captains
quarters, where fire was burning on the
hearth and placed in it's hottest part a
powder canister, and instantly retreated.
There was but one door of egress from the
quarters, and that opened upon the parade
ground; the occupant gave one look at
the canister, comprehended the situation,
and in q moment made for the door, but
it was fastened on the outside. "Charley,

Captain. 'Thpit on tho canithterl"

body, but continue, as individuals, very
effectively to prey upon the stranger-are
remarkable for their frugal and industrious
Habits. suppose this is SO, though the
visible results which elsewhere usually fol-
low the thriftiness of a population are ab-
sent from Naples. However, my personal
observation of the working man was lin
tied to watching some masons employed
on building in porcess of erection little
higher up on the opposite side of the
strada. 1 was first attracted by the fact
that the men were planning the blocks of
fawn-colored stone and readily shaping
them with knives, as if the stone had been
cheese or soap. 1t was, in effect, kind
of calcareous tufa, which is soft when
newly quarried, and gradually hardens on
to work in but the masons set to the task
with that deliberate care not to strain
themselves which Iehad admired in the
bony- handed laboring men in various
parts of Italy. At intervals of two or three
minutes the stone-cutters - there were
seven of them-would suddenly suspend
operations and without any paroeptible
provocation fall into a violent dispute. 1t
looked as if they were coming to blows,
but they were only engaged in amicable
gossip. Perhaps it was question of the
weather, or of the price of macaroni, or OF
that heartless trick which Cattarina played
Giuseppe the night before last. "Cospetto!
but she was saucy baggage, that Cat
tarina!" There was something very cheer
full in their chatter, of which caught only
the eye flashes and the vivacious sou hern
gestures that accompanied it. 1t was pleas
ant to see them standing there with crossed
legs, in the midst of their honorable toll;
leisurely indulging in graceful banter at
heaven only knows how many francs per
day. At about hall past ten o'clock they
abruptly knock off work altogether, Il
knew it was coming to that,) and stretch
ing themselves out comfortably under an
adjacent shed, went to sleep. Presently a
person - presumably the foreman - ap-
peared on the scene, and proceeded ener-
getically to kick the seven sleepers, who
rose and went to their TOOLS After straight
ening out this matter the foreman departed,
and the masons, dropping saw, chisel, and
fore plane, crawled i'll under the shed
again. I smiled, and glow came over me

PRISON LIFE CONDUCIVE TO LON
GEVkEY.

Any one reading the sentence of some
notorious criminal to term of years in
Sing Sing or Auburn will naturally feel
pity for the evil-doer. But if it was known
that man or woman consigned to a well
kept prison is actually benefited in point
of health, we would not lament their lot
to such degree. In point of fact the
records of the best English penitentiaries
show that persons chance of life are
nearly double what they would be in a
state of freedom. Notwithstanding that
two thirds of the inmates enter such insti
tutions with diseases upon them, often in
in advanced stages, yet as result of pure
air, cleanliness and well regulated diet,
prisons are made seats of health. In those
of Scotland, which are models of good
management, the death rate is only in
1,000 Contrast this with the death rate of
II per 1000 in the British army or with
the average rate of 20 per 1000 in other
occupations, and it will be seen what mar
velous results may be obtained by proper
sanitary regulation. A high medical au-
thority declares that the Perth Prison, in
Scotland, is apparently the healthiest place
in the world. The government inspector,
who visited it six times annually for thir-
teen years, rarely found more than two
among $50 inmates in the infrmary, while
once or twice there was no one. Epidemics
rage around such institutions but do not
enter them, and we can well understand
the expression of surgeons regarding pa
tients in their private practice, "If could
only have that case in prison I could save
the life. "-Sanitary Enquirer.

A SPANISH PRISON.

The iron gates swing back; your stick or
umbrella is taken from you; you stumble
down the dark, time eaten, filthy staircase,
and find in the courtyard below ground
some 20 or 80 of the very scum of the
capital herding together, smoking, singing
obscene songs, lying stretched out on the
stones, or worse than this, recounting and
boasting of their crimes. Some few are
reading, for there is regular criminals
cheap literature current, called the litera-
ture of the SaLadero. l never in my whole
life, have seen faces of so bad and brutal
lied a type as those which swarmed at
every iron grating. The place was terribly
dirty; wet dirt and litter strewed stairs and
courtyard. Thence to the sleeping places,
vaulted chambers, hAlf-moon apertures ad-
mitting q ray of light, just enough to show
the flthiness of file place; stone tagged
floor, wet and reeking with dirt long rows
of stopping boards, eaten up with vermin,
along the walls for beds; while only over
one or two hung the dirty rug, which
showed that the sleeper had some covering
at night; the heat great, the smell insup-
portable. e.-Ross, in among the Spanish Peo-

shouted he in return. Not moment was
to be lost; the Captain had at first snatched
up blanket to cover himself with; but
soon dropping it, he raised the window,
and out he bounded, sans everything but
very short under garment, and thus, with
hair almost on end, he dashed on to full
parade ground. The shouts which hailed
him brought out the whole of the occu-
pants of the barracks to see what was the
matter, and the dignified Captain pulled a
sergeant in front of him to hide himself.
"Why didn't you thpit on it ?" inquired the
Lieutenant because there were no
sharpshooters in front to stop retreat"
answered the Captain. "All I've got to

AMERICANS In FRANCE.

Americans make the best Frenchmen of
all the foreigners in Paris. The English
are always English, and promenade in Lon
don styles on the Rue de Rivoli affect
nothing but dog carts and drags on the
Boulevards and in the Bois de Boulogne,
and when they condescend to learn French
never speak it without the peculiar nasal
cockney twang of Piccalilly. The Rus
slams are intensely Russe in everything, and
spend more money on diamonds and cham
pagne than all the other foreigners put
together. But an American has not been
a week in Paris before he wakes his mus
tache, buys plug hat of the latest Partisan
style at Chantils, sports lavender kids and
a whaebone cane with an ivory leg for a
handle, wears narrow trowsers, tightly
fitting cheviot sack coat and patent leather
boots, and says Eau pltisir?" and 'par-
don, monsieur" every five minutes.
