A Lesson on Slang.

It was at the Institute of Technology, a few days before the close of the term. One of the professors had been troubled by hearing some of the students indulg- Ing in slang Accordingly, when his class had assembled to hear his lecture, he gave them ten minute discourse on the use of slang, told themhow it was corrupting the language, and that its use was, among persons of cultivation and refinement, sure sign of i'll breeding Then he went 3n with his regular lecture, and at its close called the attention of his class to the fact that some of them had been re- miss in their studies, and that it be- hooved them to make up for lost time, or they would fail to pass the approaching examinations. ''The fact is" he con .luded, you've got tc brace up or you'll get left, which shows that preaching and practice are often wide apart Boston Herald.

Uses Of the Prison Messenger.

The prison messenger is a peculiar character. He is attached to every police court in the city, by what right no one except himself knows. Although not vested with any authority from local, state or national powers, he has access at all times to the prisons attached to the police courts, and in the latter he appears to be of more importance than the regu- lar officers paid by the taxpayers. He is trustworthy and seems to have unbounded faith fin human nature. He conducts business in this fashion: A respectable young man happens to have been out late and is arrested. In the morning he wakes penniless and with no means of communi- eating with his friends. The prison mes senger understands the case in moment. He offers his services, knowing that his client will be only too anxious to make good any expenses. He will run errands, employ counsel, if necessary, and even pay prisoners fine without security for his outlay. The messenger seldom makes B mistake. He has been known to ad- vance as much as $100 to prisoner who was confined in the Tombs for a week, without other security than the man s word. For this little transaction the prisoner rewarded him with check for $200.--New York Mail and Express.
