Russian Prisons.

| The st. Petersburg correspondent o.
the London Times says:
LAS the state of the Russian prison:
has lately been the subject of much dis.
cussion in the English periodical press.
it may be interesting to notice the off.
cial report, now published, for the
period between June. 1880, and the end
of 1881. The recent extraordinary re.
volt of over five hundred prisoners in
one of the Houses of Correction in St.
Petersburg adds additional interest tc
the matter. 1t appears that the out
break in question was caused either
through bad food being dealt out, or in
/ consequence of blow struck at the
Starost, or elder, a kind of representa-.
tive whom prisoners of the less danger
Gus sort undergoing solitary contine-
ment are allowed to elect from among
themselves for certain necessary COM
munications with the prison authorities.
A commission has been appointed to in
quire more closely into the matter.
Two soldiers were wounded in guarding
the outer gates. 1t was said that .
prisoners ut bay until three companies
of the guard arrived; but the officer
turns out to have been a sergeant only,
and hence, in addition to the decoration
of St. Anne and other rewards, the gift
of twenty-five hard rubles was bestowed
upon him by the Imperial Commander
Of the Guard.
During the period of eighteen months
covered by the report referred to, there
were 94,797 prisoners. kept in Russian
prisons that were intended to hold only
10000. The overcrowding in general
is considerable; but in some localities
especially in Poland, it is so great that
anything like order is perfectly impossi-
BILE. For instance, in the province OF
Piotrkoif the prison built for 125 inmate:
contained no less than 652; in the prov.
ince of Suvalky there are 433 persons in
a building intended for only 165; and in
the province of Siedlce 484 occupy the
space which would properly be allotted
to 207. The disorder and idlenes:
which naturally result are to be expect
ed. 1t is impossible to employ solitary
confinement, or even separate the pris.
oners at night. when such osercrowding
exists. In the prison which was the
scene of the recent revolt they are
chained up at intervals from each other
during the night. As to the idleness,
from want Of space and general Organi-
cation, the report complains that in
thirty-two prisons in which hard labor
was performed, the produce Of the work
done during 1881 amounted only to
about fl5,0OO; SO that the enormous
burden of prison expenditure is not
much hghtened in this way. The bare
cost of transporting 16, 1879 criminals as
far as Tiumen. in 1881, was I'll, 0OG
rubles; 1852 prisoners effected their
escape during the eighteen months GOV.
sred by thu report. and not, as was at
first stated. in the space of six months.
No particular reference appears to be
made in the report to political offend
srs,'' 7s-n.

COns0ling Widows.

Jeremy Taylor is of all the old divines
one of the most devout and sobermind
ell, yet there is vein of humor IN him
that breaks out most quantity even in
his s.Holy Living and Holy Dying" In
his consultations to widows he cautions
them against consoling themselves too
soon with fresh husbands, and by way
of an example Of unseemly haste he cites
the widow Of Ephesus whose storyis
told by Petronius: 20
Her belSMed spouse was laid in the
tomb, and the same night she came and
went doM1 into the yauia to weep ard
die with him In the midst of the ceu-
etery was gibbet, on which was the
dead body of murderes; and a SOLDIER
stood guard, He saw tbs woman 60 into
the vanis. and findingaik very le0ely
where he was standAS he presented
himself at the door Of the tomb and
scrapsd acquaintance with the disconso-
late woman. She permitted him 10 come
in and then told hin that she was there
to perish with her dear departed. He
succeeded in the course of few hours
in convincing her that it would be much
more sensible to live for him than to die
0r the dead man. and they struck up an
engagement before the morning light
returned. This being settled the soldier
went up to look after his charge on the
gibbet when, 10! the friends had been
there and stolen him, and the soldier,
esshing again to tho vault drew his
sword to kill himself. for his life would
be the forfeit of his neglect Of duty. But
she told him she could show him game
worth two of thas; the dead husband
was nothing to her now she had live
one, and so together they managed to
ret the corpse out and upon the gibbet
In the place of the murderer. THUS the
life of the soldier was saved and the
widow didn't starve to death in the tomb.
Jeremy Taylor thinks this was unbe-
coming haste, and we quite agree With
Jeremy.-Harper's Magazine.

Beat Tea for the Sick.

DR.. Ridges gives the following direc-
tons for preparing an article which
really is what it purportS to be and far
superior to any of the so-called extracts
of meat:
81. Take one pound of lean gravy
beef and cut it into pieces rs small as
possible. A sausage machine will ae-
complish this most thoroughly and thus
save half the time of step No. 5, while
it will enable you to extract all the
goodness of the meat more thoroughly.
''2. Place the meat in a preserve jar
with one saltspoonful of salt and pc. the
jar in saucepan sufficiently largeto a.
low the lid to be placed on when the jar
is in it.
80. Mix in large jug equal qulnti-
ties Carefully measureD Of boiling
water and cold water. Z
~. Put half pint of this w'xed
water into the Jar which contains the
meat, and pour sufficient of the re-
rnainder into tire saucepan ontside the
jar to reach as high as the water ir side
the jar, then put the lid on the saucepan
and place it on the hearth, not on the
fire or on the hob. 1t will do no harm
to cover the saucepan with cloth OF
anything which will keep in the heat.
/ 50. The meat must remain in the Jar
from three-guarters of an hour to two
hours, according to the fineness to which
it has been chopped. being stirred every
quarter of an hour. IF cut into pieces q
little smaller than dice one hour and a
half will be sufficient. AT the end of
this time take out of the jar and strain
through hair sieve or through muslin
with gentle pressure. -
SO. Place the red meat juice thus OBJ
tanned in small saucepan. and heat it
boiling while you stir 1t will turn
brown and curdle. Strain off the solid
flakes and rub these thoroughly with a
small teaspoonful of arrowroOt or corn
-four. then boil these again five minutes
with the liquor which was strained off,
and set it to one side for the present.
ss7. Now take the meat which was left
in the sieve at the end of step No. 3, and
put into saucepan with quart of boil
ing water. cover. and let it simmer over
slow fire for three hours; then allow it
10 boil and strain Immediately.
..S. Now boil this strained liquor down
10 half pint.
.s9. Then mix this half pint with the
half pint left at the end of step No. 6.
and YOU will have one pint of strong
beef tea containing all the soluble pOr-
lion of the meat. pharmaceutical JOalr-
