Convict Photographs.

The convict who has to pose for ispor-
operators of the purpose for which it is
required 1t is one which, assuming
that the rascal has no present intention
to abandon the crooked path and walk
In the straight, can be no other than
inimieal to his future welfare. His
study, therefore, is to make it as little
like him as possible. To manage this,
he need not seek to disguise his natural
expression of countenance by extrava-
giant contortions. Were he to resort to
such fragrant device he would leopard
ize his accumulated good conduct
money, and after all be compelled to do
what was required of him. But it is
easy to assume Joyous smile-the de-
lightful prospect of speedy release suffi-
GENTLY accounts for it--quite foreign to
his visage, to project the under jaw a
little, or purse the lips, or, as though
lost in innocent wonderment as to what
on earth they were taking his likeness
Tor, The convict uIuy, wftlIOut uAUiting
suspicion, so raise his eyebrows as for
the time to completely do away with
the scowl that is his natural wear.
There are dozen similar tricks,
which, judiciously practised, will
answer the purpose. That it is all
artifce commonly, if not invariably re-
sorted to, is notorious. From time to
time have had opportunities of mar
rowly comparing dozens of recently
executed convict photographs with the
originals, and ! can positively say that
in no more than one instance in six is
the resemblance so unmiStakable as to
leave no room for doubt. Indeed, il
would seem that the prison authorities
themselves are alive to the desirability
of strengthening the Photographic evil
dence of identity, for of late the con-
