whisky for Jail Rirds.


TITS noteworthy fact" said well known
criminal lawyer, "that almost the first re-
quest lawyer will receive when he comes
to visit his client in the Jail will be in the
form of a demand for liquor. Crime and
the drinking habit are twin brothers, and it
is, can assure you, a very rare thing in our
experience to meet Jail bird who is not
addicted to strong drink. But what are you
going to dog Your man Graves for his old
stlmulant, begs for it with more earnestness
than he does for his freedom. He must have
it, and, as rule, he gets it, too. I'll tell you
how. When he becomes annoyingly per-
sistent we say to him: Get your liquor, if
you must have it, in the regular way No
lawyer will take it to you. That isn't pro-
fessional.'
''Then he cries: But what is the regular
way9 1t is not allowed; how can get itp We
ask him: Haven't you some relative or &C
quaintance Of the other sex? Let her bring it
in. She can carry it easily under shawl or
cloak, and while standing up close to the
wire talking to you she can smuggle the
stuff in without any trouble' Now, to make
myself understood. I'll tell you there is more
than one rubber tube in the jail, carefully
stored away in cells occupied by the expert
enced boarders, and that those tubes are
pretty regularly made to do syphon duty
from one whisky flask to another. The
prisoner gets hold of an empty flask-that is
easily done; he is visited by his female
relative, who carries under her shawl flask
full Of liquor. The tube is put out through
the wire netting and the other end is inserted
in the bottle. The other end the prisoner
takes in his mouth and proceeds at once to
establish a suction on it that causes the
whisky to leave the first bottle and flow
steadily into the other bottle, which is con-
veniently hid under the fellows coat. Well,
that is one way of getting in contraband
goods. "-Chicago News.

The Prevalence of Superstition.

No better illustration of the hold which
superstition still has on many intelligent
people could be desired than is afforded by
recent report Of the committee on expert
mental psychology submitted to the Boston
society for physical research. Letters were
addressed by this committee to nearly 500
persons, and among the questions asked were
these:
"First-Would you be Influenced by any
feeling (belief or not is immaterieD in regard
to sitting down thirteen at a tablet
"Second-Or beginning a voyage on Fri
dayi
''Tkrd--Or seeing the new moon over your
left shoulder2
''Fourth-Or in choosing a house which
was reported to be hauntedg"
Ridiculous as these questions may seem, it
is none the less true that they were answered
by no less than 500 people, and from
these answers it appears that one-tenth
of the men and one-fifth of the women were
subject to superstition. That the tendency
should be more prevalent among women
than among men is explained by the fact
that they are naturally of weaker nature and
contact with the world which, above every
tulHS elSe, quickly ulSptlS uluslOH. IL Ger
tainly must be allowed that, considering the
practical common sense of the average New
Englander and the skeptical spirit Of the
period, the proportion of those who admit
that they are subject to superstition is very
large. Without doubt the result of the Bos-
ton society's labors must be a surprise to
those who have been inclined to believe that
we are every day becoming less credulous.-

Clothing for Winter.

One Of the most common faults Of our
northern people is wearing an excess of cloth
ing. One has only to look about him to note
ladies, even early in the season, wrapped in
furs, plush cloaks and other thick coverings,
while any number Of men are to be seen with
overcoats sufficiently heavy to protect them
from the severest cold in winter. To thus
early become accustomed to such clothing is,
Of course, unwise in the extreme, and many
must eventually pay the penalty of the habit
"Leave off your winter clothes late in the
spring and put them on early in the autumn"
is wise injunction, but it must not be liter
ally rendered. One should not, of course,
thus early assume throughout his heaviest
cloGhing, but the change should be made
gradually. To put on warm under fannels
early in the autumn is sensible rule for all
to follow. Equally as good rule is to wear
the fall overcOat as late as one can and be
comfortable. Rather than trust entirely to
clothing to keep warm, we should depend
much upon exercise, and if too heavy wraps
or overcoats are worn, that cannot be taken
in sufficient amount to maintain good health,
or when INDUCED in the body is liable to be.
come overheated, and "cold" is generally
the consequence. A very common error with
men oftener than women, is to wear, even in
the coolest weather, too heavy outer cloth.

Still ChivalrOus.

In our southern states one gets still an
other view of woman. / went through
the Virgian mountains and learned that
south of Mason and Dixon's line every
white woman is a queen, idolized by
brothers, husband, sons and fathers; re-
spected as if sainted by her neighbors.
When poor old woman entered rail-
road depot that was crowded by men, at a
time when it was not expected that any
women would be travelling, every man in
that assemblage rose to his feet in order
that she might select what seat she
wished, and those men who were smoking
went cut and stood in the rain rather than
chance TO offend her. One of the men
who did this was Fitz Hugh Lee, now

Cleanliness of the Japanese.

They are clean people. You might just
as properly amuse yourself prancing upon
the sofas of modern drawing room as enter
a japanese house without removing your
dusty boots. Society demands shoes for in
doors and shoes for out doors. The mating
is always spotless, the white paper walls and
vanished woodwork free from the slightest
mark and the polished floors shine like an
old English table, Even q captious old
spinster from the wilds Of New England
could find no smallest speck of dust to vent
her i'll temper upon. You might almost
brush your hair with the broom. They bathe
at least once day, sometimes in cold, but
generally in very hot water, water that
would make the most pious missionary if
if plunged into it, use language not approved
by the strictly orthodox. The public bath,
which is very popular institution, is large
room containing two steaming tanks; in one
the men try to parbol themselves and the
women, quite unabashed, take possession Of
the other "Honi Soft" is the motto of the
place, and it is well lived up to by all the

As Bad as Living in a Flat.

The wife of a western congressman, quite
well known in the house, has cozy little
apartment, and in the dining roonl-she has
three rooms in all-is curious looking settle,
or sofa, which has often attracted the atten-
ton of her visitors 1t looks like large box
covered with imitation Indian cloth. 1t has
figures and plenty of gold thread running
through it, while the top is tutt, and makes
rather soft seat. f'
She had some guests to tea the other even
ing, and one of them remained later than the
Others The guest was seated on the sofa,
slipping glass of wine, talking to the con-
gresham and his wife, when the door sud-
denly opened and an apparition appeared ca.
the threshold. 1t was the 6-year-old child Of
the member from the west. The boy was
arrayed in his night clothes, and carried over
one arm a rough bath towel, while under the
other he had snugly tucked away large
sponge. In one hand he held cake OF soap,
end the other hand grasped the knob OF the
door. His mother gave an exclamation OF
surprise when she beheld him, but before she
could say anything the enfant terrible
shouted out: II say, Mr.. JONES'" thus adj
dressing the stranger, chow much longer are
you going to stay? have been waiting here
for the last hour for you to go home, SO can
take my bath. Do you known you are sitting
on the bath tub, and cannot get in until you
go home"
The scene that followed can be imagined
The gentleman soon after left. The boy,
being in very convenient costume, had
sound spanking, while his mother lifted the
top off the curious looking sofa and displayed
inside the zinc lined bath tub, spigots and all
complete. The guest gave the joke away,
and now the member swears that next time
he entertains he will hire house if it takes
all his salary. He has had enough Of this
mechanical furniture, and especially bath
tubs hidden in sofas.-Baltimore American.

MARY'S LITTLE LAMB.

IREvlsED VERSION
Mary had little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And built little tariff pen
To keep it safe, you know.
But Roger Mills he came along,
An ugly boy was he,
And smashed the little tariff pen
To let the lamb go free.
And in the night an English wolf,
As silent as "A clam,
Came prowling round the broken pen
And killed the little lamb.
Then Mary wept, but hopeful said.
"rll have free wool at leastr
"And 80 you SHALL" said Roger Mills;
20 said the ugly beast.
But when she went TO get the fleece,
The wolf was sitting on it;
"Come ON said he, ''and get your wool; /;
I've fixed my price upon it."
so Mary traded with the wolf,
And roundly did she pay;
For that dear fleece she fed the beast
A twelvemonth and day.

The Lobster Canning Business.

The coast Of Maine is so indented by bays
and inlets that the actual shore line is fully
400 miles in extent. Along this shore are
many of the chief cities, towns and impor-
tant industries Of Maine. One of the most
important of these industries is the catching,
transportation, canning and sale cf Holsters.
This is an industry that has grown in thirty
years from business that gave employment
to few score of hands. 1t now employs
more than 1000 fishermen, nearly 1900 boats
and forty vessels. and distributes in various
ways more than 100000 annually. The
