A Russian correspondent sends US the fol.
lowing: Some tell-tale 6gures are given by
the official report OF the Russian authorities
concerning the prisops in that country. Ia
thu said report-for the year 1881-it is.
stated that at the time OF lis issue there ex-
listed 767 prisons under the admiuisr alton Of
the civil authorities. According 10 the num-
Der of cubic feet of air contained in tht sc
pr sons, there was room ia them for only
5000 convicts, while, according 10 tbs same
official report, there Nefe DO less than
9i,797 conviets held in those prisons. Shock
log instances of the overfilling of pris-
ons have been disclosed, principally in the
governments which formerly constituted the
kingdom Of Poland. Thus, in the govern
ment OF Suvalki there were 433 couvicts in
a prison having accommodation for only 165
men; in the government CT Pstrokov 652
conyicts were living in prison built for l25
persons; in the government eff Sedlelz 4S4
convicts are qusrtered in a prison 6t to re-
ceive but 207 men, while in the government
of Piozk each place in the prison is regu-
larly sh AIRED by two convicts, and the same
takes place more or lees throughout the en-
pire.
These startling figures, which are so can
didly displayed BY the official records on
prisons, are explained away on the common
plea of want of funds for providing decent
accom- mediation for the convicts. A reform
of the existing sysem Of prisons in Russia
has been under confederation in the high
quarters of the Russian government ever
since the year 1858; but with its utmost de-
8 re to provide better quarters for the con-
victs the government has not yet found the
meaus 10 do 30. 10 the course Of the same
fifteen years, in the expectation of the i'm
pen ling reform of prisons, no new prisons
are allowed TO be built. Ali the efforts of
the authorities are directed 10 the sustain
ment OF the decrepit old buildings, with the
occasional superadditiou of new stories where
the strength OF the original prisons allows of
such liberties. Yet even for such super
suucions aud the patching up of decrepit
prisons there is not sufficient money to BE-
obtained from the naiionsl exchequ er, and
it was BY no means considered an excsp-
tional occurrence when in the year 1879 the
government fund it impossible to expend
no more than III, 505r. on the Improvement
of prisons, instead of The 737, 000r. claimed
for The purpose at that time by the prison
authorities. Ii may be added that the same
8 ate OF things may be expected 10 last vet =
while, since, according 10 official statements,
there is no money ready for the coutem-
plated reorganization of Russian prisons.

COTTON BAGGING.
Some Suggestions on the Preparation
OF the Staple for Market.
To the Editors of the Appeal:

To the Editors of the Appeal:
Lately the subject OF wrapping cotton with
bagging made from the staple has been agi-
tated by several correspondents in your
columns. While acknowledging the BUSINESS
OF their remarks, and approaching The ad-
vantages 10 be derived from the substitution
OF cotton for iule and hemp bsgging, l think
your correspondents sre proceeding from the
wrong end of the question. II ia an ackno W.

the calculation Of expense the item of six
per cent. loss in weight is always calculated
in the cost, and so long as that charge has 10
be deducted from the price paid the planter
for il, il Is useless to controyert the fact tn
the producer pays all expenses in the end
There is lille, in fact no chance of the
planter TO further burden himself By
putting on bsggIDg, which will cost
Inn more MONEY, st the came time
diminish the weight OF his bales fully
fifteen pounds, and give no increase
In price. 1t therefore follows that the only
chance OF changing the method Of things is
TO let the buyer, tina. is the spinner, take the
Initiation. The Present weight OF baggiog
and ties Is about twenty-eigut pounds; By
the substitution CT cotton bagging, weighing,
cay one pound per yard and wire lies, which
would weigh not more than four to six
pounds per bale, We have deduction of
about fourteen pounds per bale, for which
the producer must be paii. according to the
present method Of calculating the cost of
spinning cotton. Let the buyers take the
step of Offering an increased price for cotton
wrapped in cotton begging and tied with
wire tles and there will moi be any length OF
time before the planter would change his
method OF putting his cotton up for market.
The difference In tare would justify the
buyer In paying fully quarter to three
to having the staple put up ia a much bet

and generally reach the market in much
better condition Than il now does. The de-

Inferiority OF the Human Face.

Among the specifications made by re-
cent writer on the biological rank OF differ
ent animals, including man, particular
prominence is given to the iDTeriority of the
latter ss exhibited ia come of his structural
feateres, compared with certain quajrupeds.
Thus, his teeth are of low mammalian
type, as is shown both by his den
tai formula and by the presence OF
cusps upon the crowns of his teeth,
peculisrity of the lower msmfnslis, en-
tirely lost in the horse, the elephant and
many other "brues" Again, according to
the comparison thus Get forth, his limbs
show a similar iuferioriiy, since they are
little modified, preserving even the full num-
Der OF five digits, and therefore, In respect
OF these members, man stands very low
lower than the COW and the pig. The point
OF most interest, however, in this discussion,
Is that which declares the human face to be
the most remarkable of all the indices OF
mans inferiority. Thus, it ia argued, in the
mammalian embryo the face is formed
under the fore brain or cerebral hemis
pherer, and 10 our faces the fetal disposition
Ia permanently retained, with changes which,
even when greatest, are still uncomfortable;
In quadruDeds, however, the facial region
acquires prominent development leading
10 the specialization of the jaws and sur
rounding parts, which brings the face to a
condition much higher than that of the ntus
hence, the projecting snom Is a higher
structure than he reireating human face,
