A Family'S Misery and Wreck.

A pitiable case of neglect and conse-
quent destitution came to the notice of
Officer Dudley, of the Humane Society.
James Hyland is shoemaker living at
No. 359 South jefferson street, who of
late has thrown away his last and con-
fined his attention to the bottle. Mrs.
Hyland was sent to the County Hospital
several days ago, seriously ill from neg
lect and half starved besides. Hyland
has been drunk ever since that time,
and has left his three children, the eld-
est eleven and the youngest five years
of age, to amuse themselves as best
they might, but there was nothing
in the house to eat. Saturday the child
rem were driven by hunger to seek
crust of bread at neighbor's S, where 8
few questions drew out the story of the
family S misery. Mrs. Hyland's brother,
Philip Waters, who has for some time
cared for another of his sisters child.
rem, a boy, was informed of the state of
affairs. He communicated with Officer
Dudley, and by his advice procured the
warrant for Hyland's arrest On visit
ing No. 359 with the writ Constable
Williams found the three children oc-
cupying the basement miserable
place, damp and unwholesome. There
was some fire, but the ceiling was only
q little over four feet high, and the con-
stable was compelled to enter the place
almost bent double. Hyland, shat
tered wreck of manhood, was found
lying in corner stupefed with the liq-
uor he had been drinking. The place
was Wretchedly furnished and there was
not particle Of food or provisions to,
be found there. The slave of drink and
the children were taken before Justice
Russell, who, after listening to the sad
story, sent the besotted parent to the
Bridewell on fine of $50, and the
children TO the Home for the Friendless.
Hyland himself admitted the Justice OF
the sentence, and said that it would
either make a man of him or drive him
the sooner to destruction, Mrs. Hyland
is still very i'll in the County Hospital.

The Law for Maynard Young Men.

When a young man steals sheep
or a pair of boots, which, by the
way, have probably not been
placed in his safe keeping, society
has little doubt what to do with him.
/ 1t comes to the conclusion in short
order that he is a thief, and puts him in
Jail at hard labor or in state prison.
But if he has had place of trust in
some financial institution and grossly
betrays the confidence reposed in him,
society is somehow struck all of heap
and does not know what to do with
him. The crime must be covered up,
the deficieneymade up by friends, there
must be no prosecution, 10 publicity and
no penalty whatever. and the young
man must be sent off to begin life
again.
Now we believe this is all mistaken
policy as regards the young man him
self, We believe it is q terribly mis-
taken kindness. Some of our readers
probably know cases in which this
policy has been pursued, and the young
men in whose behalf it has been tried
generally become wanderers on the
face OF the earth, pursued by the phan-
| tom of that old concealed crime left
behind and often rushing into new
ones. They were not vicious originally,
but they were weak, flabby morally;
they had about as much moral back
bone as Jelly fish, or a butterfly, and
seeing older men indulgingin expensive
luxuries and vices, they began to run
the same course until they are
caught in the traps of crime. Leniency
and sending off into new associations
are simply wasted on such men. They
need ''taking down. to the. foundation
and a new start-a real one, not one of
these new birth conversions which do
not enable a man to confess his sin till
he has been found out. If conviction,
penalty and disgrace are the fit por-
ton and the best thing for the or
binary thief, they certainly are the
best thing for the embezzler. Let
him take his punishment, with such
professions of repentance as he feels
justified in making, and such as courts
are always ready to take into account
in fixing the penalty. Then let him
return to his home, where we all know
him, and his father before him, and
begin again. He will be better off than
in some distant locality, where vague
rumors of q crime greater than the fact
may at any time penetrate to damn his
peace of mind. But there at the scene
of his crime and failure, he will always
have friends TO welcome and encourage
every effort for more promising ca
reer, and who know the worst as well
as the best.
1t is difficult for the parent, strung to
prostration and anguish by son S
disgrace, to Judge with truth what is
best for that son, and the law wisely
does not take counsel of the parent,
justly presuming that his judgment
may not at such a crisis be at it its
best. When young men are old enough
to accept responsible positions for
themselves, then it is time that they
should pass under the domain of that
equal and Just administration of the
law upon all men which is the end of
civil institutions. -Sprjngfsld Mass. J

ne are not swept, if the water supply
is fouled, if the depots are not replen-
lShed, there is discomfort and suffering,
want, disorder and disease. The teem-
ing population of q great city requires
that the sanitary arrangements shall be
kept in order, the roads open, and the
food supply satisfactory, if business is to
prosper, and sickness be kept at low,
point. 1t is precisely the same in a
single individual. No man can live for
q single minute without producing ex-
creta, which, ii it be not removed, will
choke up his Datural sewers, foul bis
blood-stream, diminish the draught in
his furnace of life, and interfere moro
or less with the activity of every func-
ton and every faculty which he pos
sesses. 1t is possible that the minute
particles which make up the sum Of ex-
| cretory product may be some-
times dried up, so to speak, and
! form very microscopical points
lying dormant for years. put when
| some change takes places, some micro
cosm is introduced which lives upon
these dormant particles, they spring
into activity, and it is discovered bat
too late that the whole structure is per
meated with n condition like to that
which sometimes we see in an apparent
| ly noble forest tree which is suddenly
| Frustrated in Il moderate gale OF wind,
| but which reveals to us tine fact that its
| trunk is rotten to the core. The way
in which alcohol shows its influence is
by diminishing some of the actions
which are necessary;for the perfection
of health. 1t tends to keep eXcreta
within the precincts of the body, in
stead of washing them away, Just rs
our forefathers Kept them in cesspools
close to their dwelling houses. There
is not point in its daily use which can
in any single way obviate the mischief
which it produces by its pathological
action, unless it be to counteract some
diseased state, when its services may
be legitimately employed. just as a
dose of castor oil may be beneficial
when administered at the proper time,
! but if one persists in taking castor oil
every day for the rest of ones life, it
stands to reason that Nature willresent
the action, and some day refuse to ac-
cept the dose. There will be natural
disgust for the remedy, or some action
will be set up which will bring about a
change of custom. sNot so, unfort
unately, with alcohol; it seldom eXcites.
a disgust for its renewal, but on the
contrary produces want for more,
which can only end in decay and ulti-
mate dissolution, TO those who think
they feel the better for its use, L say
earnestly: Be warned in time, for it will
shorten your days on earth and diminish
your capacity to enjoy the world, or
benefit your fellow-creatures.- DR.. Al

Forests Turned to KindIingS.

If all the wood that is piled up in the
otherwise vacant blocks in the neigh
borhood of Seventeenth Street and the
East River should be reset in the ground
in its original condition, it would form
a forest that would cover a space a
third as big as Manhattan Island. 1t is
nearly all pine from Pennsylvania, Vir-
9inia, New Jersey and Connecticut
The tall and solid blocks of tree trunks
are renewed so fast by the train loads
and boat loads constantly arriving that
it is impossible to see by looking at
them how rapidly they are consumed.
To see that one must stand under the
little sheds that skirt the blocks. In
them are circular saws running at
lightning speed from dawn until night
and biting the great poles into little
blocks, which are in turn fed to the
trip-hammer chopping knives that con
vert them into kindling wood.
Under these restless blades whole
forests have disappeared. The chop
pers are made up of two blades, crossing
one another at right angles. They are
fixed under an iron block, and move up
and down with great rapidly. A man
stands in front of each one, feeding it
with the blocks, which are three inches
high and from four to eight inches
broad. One blow of the knives does
not do the work 1t takes two to re-
duce block to pieces of the traditional
size of kindling wood. Endless belts
filled with buckets carry the kindlings
into the rooms where the bundlers are
at work. These bundlers are boys who
work with rapidity only to be com
pared with the swiftness of the saws
and the speed of the knives. Each boy
has an iron frame upon the bench
before him, and into this frame he fits
the pieces that are to form the bundle.
When the frame is filed the boy slips
into one of the open spaces that are
sure to remain little piece of pine
that has been coated with resin. This
is called lighter. A foot lever brings
the iron band at the top of the frame
down upon the wood with force enough
to squeeze the mass into the proper
size and shape, and while it is held
there the boy ties the bundle with
coarse tarred Irvine and throws it out
ready for sale to the grocers. Somany
of these bundles are turned out that the
manufacturers never order less. than a
million at time of the little printed
dodgers, one of which is put under the
string Of each bundle.-N. Y. SIN.

One of the most remarkable uses to
which paper has been put to of late
years is the manufacture of zylonite, a
substance which at the will of the manu-
facturer, may be made in imitation of
horn, rubber, ivory, tortoise shell,
amber and even glass. The uses to
which zylonite are adaptable are almost
infinite, but perhaps the most eXtraor-
binary is the manufacture of cathedral
windows. The discovery was made
about fifteen years ago, but it is only
within the last two years that COM
pany has been formed for its manufac-
ture. The basis of zylonite is plain
white tissue paper made from cotton or
cotton and linen rags. The paper is
treated first to bath of sulphuric and
other acids, undergoing a chemical
change. The acid is then carefully
washed out and the paper treated with
another preparation of alcohol and
camphor, assuming an appearance
very much like parchment. 1t is then
capable of being worked up into plates
of any thickness, rendered almost
perfectly transparent, or given any of
the brilliant colors that silk will take.
1t is much more flexible than either
horn or ivory and less brittle. Combs
or other articles made of it in imitation
of tortoise shell are said to be so perfect
in appearance as to deceive the eye of
the most practiced workman in that
substance. The difference in the
material can be detected only by tests.
