iDiet of he Stone Ags.
CoianfiGo Aypnri0o,,

Some curious evidences OF the diet OF
age" were recently brought before the
Chronological Society OF Great Britain
by Mr.. Charters White. Mr.. White YVES
struck with the thought that as parti-
Giles of food become imprisoned in the
dental tartar, sealed up in calcsreous
cement and csn be made to reveal them
selves on solution OF this material, il
would be an interesting revelation IL the
tartar found on these teeth OF the stone
age could be made to give up its secrets
in similar manner. He accordingly de
calcified some with dilute hydrochloTic
acid and examined the sediment. L
consisted of masses composed Of epithei
ial scales mixed with tie contents oi
starch cells. Besides these, Mr.. White
was able to Identify portions OF hushs Of
corn hairs from the outside Of the husks,
spiral vessels from vegetables, husks O!
starch, the point of fish's tooth, con.
generation of oval cells, probably o.
fruits, barblets of feathers, portions CT
Nool, and soma frsem nts OF cartilage,
together with some other organic remains
which he failed to recognize. The fact
that vegetable tissue should be found in
such state as to be easily recognizable
after lapse of probably not less than
three thousand years, is certainly re
marksble.
1t is to be hoped Mr.. White will lose
no timo in examining the teeth OF Pharaoh
Rsmeses II, whose well preserved
mummy now ornaments the Egyptlar
museum ct Cairo. The public is curious
TO know what the old gentleman ate fol
his last breakfast.

The state prison Inspectors of this state start
on the 18th of this month onsa tour of inspection
of the prisons Of other states. Perhaps when they
return they will be able to suggest plan that will
furnish our criminals something else to do than
read newspapers and play checkers at the honest
laboring mems expense. The Iaw-abding citi-
zen has enough to do to feed and clothe himself
and family without being taxed to support nearly
four hundred felons in ease, luxury and all the
comforts of life, except freedom and taxatlon.-
Litchfield News-Ledger.
Contrast the foregoing with the follow
ing:
Convicts in penitentaries should be allowed
pay for the labor they perform and their wages
after the deduction of reasonable amount for
their support, should be given to their dependent
families, when they have such. and in other cases
saved to give them start in life when their terms
of sentence expire. No man. not even a criminal
should be made to work for the state while his

his imprisonment as necessity for the pro.
lection of society. The other sees the old
doctrine of punishment and vengeance-the
blasting of every hope. every true purpose
in life, because of the violation of a law.
One is tolerant. is man himself and knows
mems weaknesses may lead them into
error; the other poses as self-righteouS and
sees nothing in the weaker side of human
nature to justify an act denominated a
crime.
The Litchtield man imagines that the
idleness of the convict places him in his
ideal haven of rest and perfect content
ment. He imagines that convict is some
kind of being so different flOm himself
that they exist because they have to. and
only ask enough to eat. clothes to keep them
warm and a comfortable place to sleep. A
visit to the prison would open his vision to
the fact that cOnvicts are men. and perhaps
some few might be as narrow in their
judgment upon some questions as he. but
upon this quest on the most ignorant man
within the walls would inform him that
work is preferable to idleness. and instead
of idleness being his ideal existence. it is
the greatest punishment that can he in

When one OF the Evangelists on Sabbath
prayers of the Christian churches of this city
will rise to their feet" he certainly showed
want of judgment. If he was DESTROYS
of learning the extent of religious senti-
ment in the audience. the method resOrted
to was inadequate. If he sought to fathOm
the minds of his hearers as to the effect of
no particular purpose and the request was
made for the waht of something else to fill
in the time. we would beg to suggest its
untimely occurrence. Neither of our Chap
lainS have ever. nor would they ever do such
thing. for they are too we'll acquainted
with human nature and with those who re-
from discretion at any time or place. and a
prison is certainly the last place on earth
where it would be justtiable. If it proves
anything, it is. that men will usually say or
do the thing which pleaSes. when religion is
under consideration. Belief is not con.
suited, neither is hypocrisy clearly outlined,
for some who rise and some who refuse to
cOuntenance such methods are believers.
The prison ought not to be considered as
containing the representative religious men,
and the few real Christians who are here
are not OF that class who desire to publicly
proclaim their convictions.

Prosecuting attorneys are men and prefer
conviction to acquittal, for conviction adds
another star to their crown of professional
glory. Judges are but men, and while they,
as a class are less susceptible to public
Glamour. they are not always deaf to it.
Prosecuting witnesses. as a rule, glory in
conviction and consequent Imprisonment as
sOlace for the wrong they have suffered;
in other words, for revenge pure and simple,
and the good or evil influence of mprisOn-
ment upon the victim is of no moment to
them. If Executive clemency is sought
they stand ready to interpose objection, I'M
less they can be slenced by money. Is it
not true? Who will deny it who knows
the process of the criminal laws of the
country?

PHENyX VS.. MEMO.
country:

This issue closes a discussion between
two of our contributors and we feel it due
the readers OF our paper to state that the
extent to which each side has been heard
would not have been tolerated under any
other circumstances than those surrounding
this discussion.
The relations of religion to the reforma-
ton of the convict is OF such moment that
none will question its Importance. what
ever may be the varied views upon the sub
ject, and the principal question arising
under this discussion is the prOpriety of
permitting such controversy to run To
such limit as has this. We are of the
opinion that philanthropists of every grade
from the past five issues of THE MIRROR
upon this subject. The main questions be-
tween these writers are: Should the pris-
oner's professions of religion gain him the
credit of being religious? Is not the incen-
tive to hypocrisy 50 great that the religious
professions of the prisoner should be taken
with grave doubt? Should the advantages
for religious instruction be increased. and
would these instructions. on the basis of
the plan in vogue in the Michigan state
prison. which we published in The MIRROR
of the date of Nemo's first article (where a
Sunday school and experience meeting at
which the prisoners take part is part of
the plan), be beneficial on the whole? Is
the prison a place where men are more
susceptible to religious influence. and more
liable to become Christians than on the out
side of prison walls?
The other points of difference between
the writers have arisen ''during the heat of
debate" and are not essential to the issue
involved.
We do not feel called upon to decide the
question, but are of the opinion that the life
of the prisoner is not such as to arouse
deep and lasting reverence for religion. 1t
is altogether possible for one to be religious
in any condition, but that the prison tends
to make one so. or that it schools his mind
to such an extent that he eagerly grasps
deny. Deception enters too largely into his
life to cause his mind to dwell upon holy
things. and the natural tendency of prison
discipline is to rob the prisoner of self-re-
lance, individuality and manhood. Those
who do not succumb are to be cOngratu-
lated. and we say ABOVE all else that the
prisoner should guard against. from the
moment of his incarceration to the moment
OF release. is loss of manhood.
