JAPANESE PRISONS.
Interesting Data Concerning the Pena.
Institutions of Japan.

interesting Data concerning the fenaA
Institutions of Japan.
The Prison Association of New Yorl
maintains a through system of CORE
spondence on prison matters with all the
civilized and semi-civilized countries OF
the world. 1t has just received from
Mr.. Taneaki Hara, it's japanese CORE
spondent, summary of the last annual
report of the japanese prisons. This
report shows that there are two kind,
of prisons: penitentiaries and iails.
There are six large penitentiaries. One
in Tokia with ,5OS prisoners, who work
at brick-making; one at Miagi with l.
34S prisoners working in slate quarry;
in coal mines; one in Kobatovezo with
1885 prisoners, and one in Sorachi-
yezo with 1853, and one in Kushira-
yezo with 100 prisoners. In the three
last named the labor is utilized in the
reclamation of waste lands. There is
little attempt at the classification of
prisoners, and from twenty-five to forty
prisoners occupy each cell. Punishment
is the chief thought of the authorities.
The japanese prison system is, how
are allowed some share in their surplus
earnings.
Every effort is made to promote the
health of the prisoners, in which re-
spect there has been a great improve
ment in recent years. In all the penal
institutions of Japan there are &c, 039
prisoners, or rather more than one per-
son to every $50 of the population. OF
no ic
would make it seem that Japan was
much more given to law breaking than
the United States, where official records
show but one person in 1000 in the
prisons. 1t must be remembered that
our official records are far from correct,
and that in the simpler life of Japan
more rogues are caught. There is also
much allowance to be made for the fact
that the average terms of imprisonment
are much -onger than with us. Out of
every one thousand prisoners more than
six hundred have been found guilty of
robbery in one of its degrees and sixty
three of murder. The "criminal age"
as with us and with the countries of
Europe, is from twenty to thirty-five,
there being 705 prisoners out of every
thousand between those ages. There is
no attempt at moral instruction, in
which the japanese prisons are on
par with many of our county jails, but
they are all superior to our county jails,
in which there is systematic labor.
Nearly all of the prisons are entirely
self-supporting, and are conducted with
a degree of economy that some of our
American prison managers might imi.
tate with great advantage to the public.

A ROYAL ARTIST,
The Crown-Princess of the German EN-.
pire and the Way She Works.

The Crown-Princess of the German EN-.
pire and the Way She Works.
Having studied like a student, the
Crown Princess now paints as an artist.
The powers of the Princess Royal have
long been acknowledged in Germany,
upon the art of which country she has
had great and lasting influence. In
1880 she was elected member of the
Berlin Academy, where she has con-
stantly exhibited. Painting admirably,
as she does, in landscape, portraiture
and still life, it is perhaps in her por-
traits that she excels. An artist may be
an admirable draughtsman of the figure,
he may have the finest technique and g
true love of color; he may possess q
perfect mastery of carnations (critics
always talk a lot about carnations), and
yet fail entirely in portraiture. The
one essential thing is the instinct OF
reading character and the power of seiz-
ing upon and depicting, with.
out exaggerating or burlesque, the
salient points in the expression OF
his sitter. That the Princess Royal
possesses this gift may be seen by refer
ring to our last illustration. Without
knowing the lady, one feels sure that
be the result of the careful study of char.
acter as expressed in physiognomy,
which one expects is lesson early
taught to royal children, or one that is
quickly gained in courts, if it be not
actually inculcated. There is dignity in
the simple treatment of this picture, and
the easy pose of this figure has been skill.
fully caught.
We believe that the Princess Roya,
has studied under Won Angel for the
figure and under Wilberg for landscape.
1t is perhaps possible to detect the intiu-
ence of the former artist in the drawing
of the PORTRAIT of a Lady The house
of Brandenburg has not the pleas
ure of the writer's acquaintance,
(Which is an instance that even
Imperial rank can not gain on every
advantage), so that he is unable to
speak of the Princess Royals methods
of work or scheme of color. OF one
thing he is sure, that she goes direct to
nature. Therei is an air of sincerity and
tirst-handness about the street scene in
Pegli which convinces one that the work
was faithfully drawn out of doors, and
probably finished on the spot. The
third picture, ''Perishableness, shows
signs of the same conscientious study,
and there is an appreciation of just val
ues in it which is very noticeable. AL
though this picture very well bears
translation into black and white, we
probably lose much by missing its rich
and quiet color. Wehope one day to see
some of the royal painters pictures in
London, that English people may know
that we have an artist of whom we may
be proud in the person of Princess
whom we love-Maqazine of art.

The close observer can not fail to no.
tice that the habits of our people are I'M
dergoing a decided change. We are no
longer free-handed and careless, as OF
wore. We have known the ttcrness of
poverty. and We have known that econ.
omy is the surest means by which to
grasp the power that belongs to wealth.
This tendency is illustrated on the grand
scale, in the case of our banks, which
have in recent years pursued the policy
of annually laying aside portion Of
their profits. The result of this policy
is seen in the condition of one of those
institutions which has reserve consd-
erably larger than its capital. Our peo-
pie, rich and poor alike, are striving to
live within their means. This. after all,
is the fundamental fact of the situation.

THE COTTON CROP.

Reports From the Cotton Crop of the
Memphis District - notwithstanding
Some Slight Damage the Picking Show
ing Good Results, and i'm Some Cases I'm
provement Over Last Year.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 8.-The cotton
crop report for the Memphis district,
which embraces West Tennessee, North
Mississippi, North Arkansas and North
ern Alabama to be published to-day by
Messrs. Hill, Fontaine & Co., will say:
The weather during September was fair
" favorable. Heavy rains prevailed
after the 18th ult., which did some DAM
age and DELAYED picking in some locali-
ties. The season, however, has been
more favorable than last year up to this
period excepting in Mississippi. where
too much wet weather is complained Of.
Picking is progressing rapidly through
out the district, and it is estimated that
fifteen per cent. had been gathered up to
the Ist of OCTOBER. The damage to the
rust sustained in August has
not been aggravated by the I'm
favorable season, and the pros
pective yield of the district indicates an
increase of full seven and a half per cent.
as compared with last year. Arkansas
and Tennessee show the most favorable
prospects. In the former State the in
creased yield is placed at sixteen and a
half per cent, Tennessee at thirteen per
cent, Alabama at two and quarter per
cent, while Mississippi shows a decrease
of one and half per cent. The light
frosts which fell in portions Of the dis
trict on the night of October /. were not
damaging, and the fair weather that has
since prevailed gives assurance t.f favor
able conditions, which adds 10 thu bright
prospects of the planter and enables him
to gather his crop III Il clean and salts

rapidly to market, and there is no dispo-
sition on the part of the planter to hold
his cotton for higher prices.
