Stories About Prisons.

In knot of prison officials at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel recently the humor-
Gus side of prison management came
up. One gentleman told how it had
been decided to build a Jail in his cOun-
ty. The commissioners were all ignO-
rant of prison affairs, and he suggested
that they visit other counties and call
in an architect who was well informed
in such matters. The Chairman of the
Board replied to him:
whats the use of that? All YOU
want of a Jail is to hold the prisoner. ~
.'TO which," continued the narrator,
"my best reply was to show him a copy
of the old log-jail, the only entrance
being hole in the gable, through which
the prisoner was dropped down into the
well below. 1t was perfectly 81 F."
The story was told of President Lin
coins first visit to the penitentiary al
Springfield, Ill. An old criminal, looking
out through the bars of his cell, re-
marked:
well. Mr. Lincoln, you and ought
to be well posted on prisons; we We
seen all there are in the country"
.'Why. this is the first one ever
visited said Mr.. Lincoln. and was as
tonished at the response:
'.But I've been in all the rest"
Probably the best tale was that Of
Governor Vance, of Ohio. 1t was in
the early days of the States history,
when there were about a hundred con-
victs. On coming into office he paid 8
visit to the prison, and ordered that ev.
cry man there be permitted to come up
and talk to him. The result was a per.
feet storm of petitions for pardon-ev.
cry man pleading innocence. One old
and grizzled tough" stood apart and
added nothing to the clamor. The Gov.
ernor called him up:
"What are You in for?'
Stealing"
"Well. were you guIlty?"
Eyes; it's the way l make my liv'
ing"
The Governor went back to his Office
and pardoned the man. When remon.
strated with his only excuse was:
swell, l was afraid the thief would
contaminate those other fellows. IN

Electric Killing.

Another possible application Of cleo
tricity 10 .practical purposes il fore
Swallowed in an apparatus gotten up
by George L. Fox, of London, to pro-
vide an absolutely painless method for
the slaughter of animals. The apparat-
Us necessary for one slaughtering esiab-
lishment costs about $500, and con-
sists of an iron plate connected with the
negative pole Of . condenser having q
capacity of 100 micro-farads. The ami
NAL to be killed first has the top of its
head and its feet and legs wet with salt
water, and is then led upon the plate.
Its head is touched with the positive
pole and IL falls dead. As Psychologists
have demonstrated that it takes ut least
one-fift1 of 4 second for the brain to re-
ceiye notice of an external injury, it is
believed that the animal thus treated
dies without the slightest sensation, its
nerves being almost instantaneOusly
paralyzed. The machine will kill ami
mails as fast as they. can be brought
upon the plate
Local electricians say that Mr.. Fox's
device is practicable, and they have no
doubt that.animals treated as described
die painlessly. Chicago cattle-men,
however. take no stock in the scheme.
They think that bullet is cheaper than
electricity and quite as efficacious.
Their present method of shooting steers.
they claim, is practically painless. the
animal being instantly stunned by the
bullet. And this claim gets some sup
port from the fact that the Humane So
ciety, though it receives daily complaints
as to different forms of cruelty in the
treatment of cattle about the Stock
Yards, has never yet heard any COM
plant about the way animals are killed.
The cattlemen, furthermore. doubt
whether tho electrical machine
could do the work expeditions
" enough for their purposes While at
present steers are dressed in the stalls
where they fall, if all were killed on
one spot the carcasses would have 70
be removed before being dressed. which
would be q matter of considerable extra
trouble and labor 1t is also objected
that electricity is too dangerous an
agent to have about q slaughter-house.
II would kill careless man as quickly
as it would a steer. Besides these OBJ
jections, that the interests of mercy do
not demand the aid of electricity in
killing animals, and that the present
method does the work better, there is
pointed out in the use of Mr.. Fox's ap-
paratus mechanical difficulty which
alone would prevent its ever being
adopted in Chicago house. This diff
ficulty belongs to the first part of the
operation-the saltwater bath for the
victims head and feet. Mr.. Fox, the
inveptor, is evidently unacquainted
with the habits of the wild Texas steer.

Gloves.

Cheap gloves are always a bad pur-
chase, more especially for those who
wish to practice economy. A change
of fashion, like that from short to very
long gloves, throws vast quantity
upon the market at reduced prices.
Among these are some of good
quality. but old style. Thrown in with
these, however, are all the shop-worn,
unsuitable, imperfect, nlcut. and more
or less .'crankie" gloves that have ac-
cumulated for years, and buyers must
take their chance of what they get at
the price. Very often the imperfection
is OF such nature as not to be detected
until the glove is put on, or il may be
that one finger or thumb is cut small
er than it should be. Nothing can be
imagined more provoking than to find
the gloves you lad congratulated your
self upon all right except finger OF
thumb, which, however disqualifies
them entirely from doing duty. Good
gloves are somewhat less expensive
than formerly, though still far beyond
the price paid for gloves abroad. The
shortened sleeve. which still obtains,
has compelled the adoption of the long
glove, and these ano not universal, a

Literature Of the Face.

scans the face with almost equal inter-

the soul dwells in the eye; and the abil-
ity to understand its language is Unborn
with most folks, without having to
study ii, though extremely sensitive
persons have told me that more power
than they could read from every feature
of the face. the fingers being so full Of
vision that they could feel color with
out seeing it; so full of nerves that an
impression was instantaneous and could
be relied upon: so full of life that when
their possessCr was in love they tingled

1t is said that very quiet eyes that inn
press and embarrass one with their re-
pose signify seif-command, but also
much complacency and some conceit
Restless eyes that can not look one
steadily in the face denote a deceitful.
designing mind. Ewes in which the
white has yellowish tinge and is
streaked with reddish veins prove much
of strong passion and hasty tempers.
Very blue eyes bespeak mind inclined
to coquetry; gray eyes signify dignity,
intelligence and excellent reasoning
faculties; greenish eyes, falsehood and
fondness for scandal. A malicious
mind is often indicated by greenish
eyes. Black eyes show passionate.

an enterprising, business-like character;
a long nose is the sign of coed sense: .

generally indicates large mind and good
heart; a very small nose good nature.
