CIVIL CASES.
REFORMATION OF CRIMlNALSIN SWlTz-
ERLAkD,

Here is a description of what they
do with the prisoners in the Canton
of Neuchatel. A good handicraft
is taught to every prisoner, and all
who are well behaved are, after a
period, placed with a master of the
trade which they have severally
learned, under the oversight of the
police and of a member of volun-
tary committee. This committee is
composed of | 400 active members,
out of total population of 102 900.
The prisoner, when professionally
liberated" has TO present himself
every week TO his patron who re-
ceives the reports of his master and
the police. The patron sends an
abstract of these reports to the gov
ernor of the prison, and in this way,
if his conduct remains good, the
mans liberty is gradually restored,
and he gains his position in society
with the additional advantages of
experience of discipline and knowl-
edge of Il trade. nj. de Laveleye,
in describing this system, says that
Swiss canton is in some things a
century in advance of the rest ofahe
world.

mistake. She took my advice and the
Syrup, and now she is in perfect health,
and the people around us are amazed.
The medicine has made such progress
in our neighborhood that people say
they don't want the doctor any more,
but they take the Syrdp. Sufferers from
govt who were confined to their bed and
could hardly move a finger, have been
cured by 1t. There is a girl in our dis.
trict who caught cold by going
through some water, and was In bed five
years with costiveness and rheumatic
pains, and had to have an attendant to
watch by her. There was not doctor
in the surrounding districts to whom
her mother had not applied to relieve
her child, but every one crossed them
selves and said they could not help her.
Whenever the little bell rang which is
rung in our place when somebody is
dead, we thought surely it was for her,
but Seigel's Syrup and Pills saved her
life. and now she is as healthy as any
body goes to church, and can work
even in the fields. Everybody was as.
