IFrom the New York worid.l
Much attention is now being given in
England To the treatment of boys and
eirls guilty Of ofienses against the law.
Lord Derby and Lord Houghtm have
spoken on the subject. Lord Derby be-
heves that in no case should boys under
IA years Of age be sent to prison, that
extended powers should be given to
magistrates to sentence boys TO moder-
ste corporal punishment, and that dis
tinct and separate places of detention
should be provided for young offenders,
so that they shall not escape punish-
Ment altogether merely because it is un-
desirable to send them TO jail" The
st James Gazette, IN some seemingly
unjustifiable structures upon Lord Der
by's address, the purpose of which was
particularly to call attention TO the bad
results of combining young boys with old
and hardened criminals, whose influence
more than offset the reformatory effects
OF imprisonment asks what real diff
ference Is there between "a place Of de-
tention and prison. Who would think
that 1t made the smallest difference as
TO boys character and prospects in
life whether the prison in which he
was confined was or was not called O
reformatory AS q matter of fact it
would make very great difference in a
boys prospects in life whether it should
be said OF him that he was a jail-bird
or had merely been in reformatory or
house Of refuge. This as matter Of
repute. AS matter OF positive infiu-
ences, boy who should have been con-
fined in company with adult offenders
would be very likely TO have his crimi-
nal propensities fostered and trained in
a way disastrous to himself and danger
GUS to the community. The reformation
of old criminals is thing hardly to be
looked tor-certainly not in one instance
out OF 100 but the case is different with
children generally, the inborn villainy
OF young tigers like Jesse Pomeroy, or
the girl of ID years who was recently
tried at Lincoln before Lord Chief
Baron Pollock for Deliberately poison
ing baby whom she nursed, being
wholly exceptional. In the long run
the true rule will doubtless be found to
be leniency and intelligent attempts at
reformation in dealing with children,
and rigorous confinement for the good
of society III the case of hardened adult

Hope for the Drunkard.

III inebriety is durable, as the Boston
Traveller asserts that it is, by the follow
ing method, then is there hope for the
victim of this base passion-drink. That
journal makes the following assertion:
IAN Incorporate person can easily supply
himself with the remedies used at all the
inebriate asylums, and be his own physi-
clan, ut his own home, without the neces-
sary expense and publicity of visiting
the Washingtonian Home or any other
public institution. His laboratory need
only contain small quantity of cayenne
pepper, pot of concentrated extract of
beef, and few grains of bromide of
potassium. When the desire for alco-
holic drink recurs, make n tea from the
cayenne pepper as strong as can be taken
with any degree of comfort; sweeten it
with milk and sugar and drink. This
tea will supply the place that glass OF
liquor would fill and will leave no
injurious effect behind. Repeated
daily as often rs the APPETITE returns, it
will DO but few days before the sufferer
will have become Disguised with the
taste of the pepper, and with the appear
ance of this disgust disappears the love
of liquor.
''rhe fact is proved every day. The
extract of beef is to be made into beef
tea, according to the direction on the pot,
in suoh quantities as may be needed foi
the time being, and furnishes a cheap,
easily digested, and healthy nutriment
it being made to stay on the stomach
when heavier articles of food would be
rejected. The bromide of potassium is
to be used carefully, and only in case of
extreme nervousness, the dose being
from fifteen to twenty grains, dissolved
in water. This is public exhibit OF the
method of treatment adopted ut the in
ebriate asylums. In addition thereto the
drinking man should surround himself
with influences which tend to make him
forget the degrading associations OF the
bar-room and lift him upward He
should endeaver, so far a. his business
avocations will permit, to sleep, battle.
and eat regularly, and obey the laws of
health. By the adoption Of this course
energetically and sincerely, no man who
has the will to reform can fail TO do 60
Hundreds and thousand oan attest the
truth of these statements.

Coffee.

We Americans drink good deal of
coffee. Some of it is atrociously bad
coffee, and great deal of it is not coffee
at all. A certain noted man, who was
very fond of a cup of genuine coffee, is
said to have stopped at a country inn
and said to the proprietor, 'Have you
any chicoryP" "Yes, SIR" Bring it
to me-" A can was brought to him. els
this all you have in the house?" 81
have one more can only" "Well, bring
that" 1t was brought. "Now," said
the noted man, placing the cans of
chicory in his pocket, Ego and make
me cup of coffee" If the American
people could place in its pocket all base
limitations of the fragrant berry, cup
of good coffee would not be rarity. A
good deal of our coffee comes from Bra
zil. Last year we imported from that
country about 422, 100000 pounds of
coffee. The annual consumption of
Mocha, Java and Rio is valued at over
800, 100000. Put that in your cup and
stir it. The best Mocha comes from the
province of Remen, in Arabia. All 9TH
ers, as photographers would say, are hol-
low Mechanics. Java coffee comes from
Java, Sumatra and Borneo. The roast
ing of coffee is a business by itself, and
the modern coffee-roaster browns q ton
and half of coffee in forty-five minutes.
Men who work at the coffee roasting
trade never drink coffee. They have
enough of the aroma at their regular
business. -Dotroit Free Press.

The French Farmer.

Generally speaking, the French farm
er is not Jolly soul. Whether he be n
man of education or not, he settles down
into grub sort of life, faring frugally
on soup and the thinnest Of ordinary red
wine or cider. The stock of his soup is
bacon, and he eats butchers meat only
twice week, that is on Sunday and
market day. When he attends market
he makes n succulent dejeuner and
drinks good deal of beer afterward at
the cafe. This is his only cheerful
time at ordinary seasons he is morose,
troubled about the weather, the con-
scription which is going to take his son
into the army, and about politics, of
which he understands just enough TO

q Couldn't Help IT,

William B. harrington, Of San Fran
cisco, was possessed by desire to take
life. He went before the Lunacy Com
missioners and asked to be sent to an
asylum; but they decided that his men,
tai trouble if he had any, was brought
on by drink, and refused to incarcerate
him. He declared that he had murder
in his heart, and some day he would be
unable to resist it. One evening he was
drinking amicably at bar with an in
innate friend. Without warning he drew
a revolver and killed his companion. "I
couldn't help it, he said; "I had to take
somebody's life"

Sarcastic epitaphs, not necessarily in
volving pun on the name, are, we sus-
pect, seldom to be found really engraved
on tombstones and only in some cases
written by relations of the deceased.
If Dryden really wrote the epiteph on
his wife, attributed to him, and which
he intended for her tombstone had he
outlived her, he must indeed have felt
and owed her but little affection
Here lies my wife; here let her lie
She's now at rest, and SO arn l.
One Mrs. Shute gave occasion, we are
told, for the following

The occupation of dyer has suggest
ed many epitaphs of an obvious char
acter, such as
He dyed 10 live, and lived 10 die.
Also:
He died himself, and dyed more.
So many Jokes have been fired off at
the late Sir William Curtis-ap Alder
man distinguished for defective educa-
ton and bad grammar--that we need
not feel surprised at an epitaph couched
thus:
