Old Men in Indian .Jails.

A recent visitor to one of the Pun
jaub jails was amazed to find a re-
markedly large number of old men
among the prisoners, almost one con-
vict in five having a gray beard The
jailer being asked for an explanation
replied: 1T is a common practice
when a theft is brought home to a
man by the police for him to getan old
father or uncle to take the blame on
himself, or he puts up young brother
to do SO. Before the court they make
full and circumstantial confession.
They are convicted and the real
thieves get off, and it is for the family
benefit that this should be so. A
sturdy young man is able to do more
for the family support by honest labor
or thieving than an old man or boy.
The old man has lost many of the in
stincts and appetites which make lib
erty SO dear to the young man. He
cannot le put to any very hard labor,
and will be well fed and well looked
after while he is in Jail. If boy con-
fesses he will probably escape with a
fiogging. The conviction of an old
man or boy will look quite as we'll
in the police returns as that of an able
bodied young man. So long as they
get their conviction, the police don't
trouble themselves very much about
the matter. philadelphia Ledger.

Bottesini's Warning of Death.

Bottesini's last concert was at Par
ma, on rainy night, and, his man
ayers having forgotten to send car
riage, the veteran had to walk most of
the way to the hall. On arriving
there he began to rosin his bow. The
rosin crumbled in his hands, and turn
ing to his friends with sad smile, he
said, "See, it is so that Bottesini, too,
will break" Then he grasped his
loved instrument and drew the bow
across the strings; but he stopped with
a wondering look, for there was some
thing strange in the tone; his touch
was answered less readily and certain
ly than of old. Once more he tried
and once more he stopped-this time
with smile, saying only, "It answers
no more" His audience perceived
nothing unusual in the performance,
which they applauded as warmly as
ever, but Bottesini felt the shadow of
coming death. Next day he was
stricken with illness, and the wonder.
full hand was soon stilled forever

obliged to live upstairs, so he sends
out his babies to nurse as soon as they
are born. with the intention of letting
them remain in the country until they
are or 6 years old; and the ouvrier,
who has generally but one garnet
room up dozen flights of stairs, does
the same thing. The result of this is
that more than so per cent. of the
children born in Paris die in the baby
farmers hands before reaching their
second year. All that the Assistance
Publique has tried to do toward check
ing this shocking waste of life has
been o! little avail Forty creches
have been instituted but they meet
the wants of only a small number of
mothers. A system for registering
and inspecting the homes of peasant
women who take children to nurse
has been attempted, but the Assistance
gets little help from the parents of the
working classes in contending against
the rapacity of baby farmers. A
nurse, of whom no questions ars
asked, charges twenty-five francs e
month for the keep of a baby; those
who are registered and so controlled
that they can only receive one child
demand fifty francs or more. Those
lind their customers among the bour-
geois, but the working classes cannot
afford to patronize them.-Philadel-
