HOUSE JOINT MEMORIAL NO.
Relating to the Montana Penitentiary .

The memorial adopted by the Montana
Legislature at its Twelfth Session states the
ownership of the Peniteniiary and the con-
tract with the Territory; that there are ~
cells of 5xS feet each, intended for but one
person; and that there are now 56 prisoners
two for each cell-with probability OF in
crease; that this condition Is unhealthful and
inconsistent with proper prison discipline ];
that only those who have short terms to
serve can be employed to work off the pris-
on grounds; that the guard force Is 80 small
but little exercise can be given the prisoners
in open air, and the result IL long term pris-
oners are mostly confined to their cells, rem
dering them restless and nervous, impairing
their health and creating apprehension. IL
In further stated that there are no facilities or
accommodations for female prisoners, and
that the United States Grand Jurors in the
Second Judicial District have repeatedly
called attention to the above facts. The peo-
pie of Montana desire that they should not
be behind the spirit Of the age In the treat
ment of criminals.

DIR. CROSBY on PROHIBI7ION

OR. CIiDSBI ON PROHIBIIION.
Rev. DIR. Howard Crosby, Chancellor Of
the University of New York, was present
at the church encampment held last week in
Lawrence. The Doctor was intervi. wed BY
n correspondent of the Kansas City Journal
concerning the Kansas liquor law. He said
that mo scheme Of temperance can succeed
which does not recognize q natural di.tinc-
ton. Such one is founded on fallscy
These people ignore two distinctions; one,
between moderation and excess. They claim
that moderation is the necessary beginning
Of Excess; but this is false. The second dis
tinction is between distilled liquors, always
hurtful, and fermented liquors, sometimes
beneficial. No system which throws these
into one category can succeed, for 1t is based
ON false hypothesis" HIS idea Of prac-
ticai Temperance Law, he said, was TO put
prohibitory restrictions on ali distilled IL.
quors and allow ftrmented liquors to be sold
under careful license law. lie said: "You
push law beyond what name conscience
can agree TO, aud that law will fall; and
mans conscience cannot agree 10 the Kansas
Law. For this reason, men who are men Of
morals and lsw-sbiding citizens, are antsgo-
nistic TO il, and the law is unheeded. Why,
l should r1ther see in my state 5000 drunk.
ards than 10000 deliberate law-breakers.
And del beraie law-breskers are the resul,
OF this false legislation"
Referring to the fact that many women
were enlisted in the Temperance crusade in
Kansas, DR.. Crosby said: "Women have
great hearts, but they are poor logicians.
These good people don't look at the ques-
tion broadly. Now, Frenchmsn, for in.
stance, is accustomed to his claret every day
at dinner, and il you take it away he loses
an essential part of his meal. An yet the
exhileraiion produced is not as great as tina,
on a woman by her strong tea. But still
she can't see the ressonabieness of the
Frsnchman's position, but she places him
alongside of the man drunk on whisky.
Now, suppose you put tea and coffee in the
law. | do not doubt that The people would
he better Of, but j, would not be a wise thing
TO atieuipi. And it is he same way with
wine and beer"

brary of that eminent Abraham schol-
ar, Sheik Danedbeing Macmohammed.
his eyes fell upon twenty large volumes
all on ono subject. He expressed his
surprise and exclaimed
''Oh, Sheik' tell me, Allah bless us =
what's in them there booksf It strikes
me. oh, Sheik, that the writer must
have been fellow of nearly exhaustless

''Thou mistakest, oh, Bcn-high-dad;
thou art yet but superficial observer.
Know, young fellow, that those are tho
works Of the high and mighty Hash Ha-
roun-con-founded, q man who married
early in life, and supposed he had oh.
tanned therein the correct thing. Now,
then, o Ben high-dad, listen! In those
books arc recorded all the complaints
and fault findings which Mrs. Hacroun-

that mighty man during their welded

Hash Ha-roun- con-founded died, leav-

Flowers On Walls.


Travellers in England and Scotland
always admire the snowy, wild. yellow
wall flowers that grow on old walls. A
late number of Gardening Illustrated
recommends the cultivation of flowers
on walls. There is way of growing
flowers on walls in various countries
which deserves more attention than it
has received with us. It consists in
leaving the upper portion of the terrace
or wall hollow, and using this for flow.
ers. The crest of the wall is, in fact, q
narrow flower border; but though mar
row, with q space of two or three feet
of soil, from one foot to three feet
through. thus giving ample root room
for the production of vigorous and
graceful vegetation. The architect or
builder can easily arrange for such wall
vases. We have often seen very charm
ing effects produced in this way on tho
continent, even in poor houses, where
little evidence of other beauty was to
be seen. By adopting the principles of
variety instead of repetition in such
cases, beautiful garden of flowers
might be grown on the crest of many q
barren wall near or part of town
house. Hardy plants of permanent
character should always be chosen for
such positions, and those with graceful
foliage should have the preference. A
top dressing of rich soil should be given
yearly, and when well established, such
plants as the smaller yuccas, acan-
thuses, etc., would make charming
effect"

The Fire Temples Of the Parsees,

In o recent article on India, Prof.
Monier Williams says: The principal
fire temples visited at Bombay, Surat
and Poona did not differ externally
from small private houses surrounded
by their compounds. I was not allowed
to view their interior arrangements, but
was told that an ordinary temple con-
sists of two oblong quadrangular rooms
separated by partition; sone room be-
ing set apart for the fire sanctuary, or
holy of holes, and the other assigned
to lay worshipers. In tho larger tenn.
pies there are often other rooms for tho
performance of certain ceremonies.
The sanctum sanctorum has q lafge
central stone, on which rests the vase
like censor containing the sacred fire,
kept continually burning and fed day
and night with offerings Of fragrant
wood and gums, such as sandal-wood,
benjamin and frankincense. Some
times goat is killed, not specifically,
but for the sake Of its fat, which is dried
and thrown into tho embers, on special
occasions, to produce q brilliant flame.
The priests. called Mobeds, who arc al.
ways present in the sanctuary. have q
piece Of fine linen cloth (called Pehom,
or Panam) tied In front of the nosuils
and mouth, to prevent the risk Of poll
luting the fire by their breath or saliva
while reciting tho customary prayers.
q
