Carrying on Peach Stones.

Properzia di Rossi. maiden of rare
beauty, great refinement and unusual
education, gave herself very early in
life to the study of art. minute trac-
ery' was her forte. The first work of
this gifted girl was carving on peach
stone the crucifxion of our Saviour-a
work comprising many figures, execu-
tioners, disciples, wamep and soldiers;
all most remarkable for delicacy and
perfection of expression, and an admir-
able distribution of the groups. In the
cabinet Of gems in the gallery of Florence
isstiIl to be seen a cherry stone on which
is carved chorus of sainta, in which
seventy heads may be counted.
Among other women of the Sixteenth
century noted as sculptors, fresco paint
ers and engrayers, one of Titian's pupils,
Irene di Spilimberg, highly educated,
surrounded by luxury and with every
thing beautiful about her, devoted her
self wholly to art. Some Of her. works
are still extant, and she must have used
her time and energies to great purpose,
for she died at the age of 19.-Harpers

Sir Edwin Arnold said he admired tre-
mendously the viyacity, push and dash
of American newspapers, and he thought
they would be about perfect if they were
more serious and dignified. But if they
were more serious and digniied they
would not have their "vivacity, push
and dash" They would be as dull, in
short, as London newspapers.

The success of novels founded on Scrip
ture subjects is at present something re-
markable. Those dealing with the life
and times of Christ are the most popu-
lar, and Ben Hur" leads them all. There
is profound significance in this return of
the popular mind to the old faiths in an
age of such far reaching skepticism and
materialism. Spiritually we seem tend
ing back to the times of two thousand
years ago. Professor George Ebers in
Germany, Rider Haggard In England
and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in America
are all now writing Scriptural novels.

Tt was nothing less than an outrage,
the indignity put upon a highly respect
able American family man by Bismarcks
burly minions in Germany.
Mr.. Howard Douglas, of Cincinnati, is
one of the mildest hammered of men. He
has been president of the Cincinnati
board of education for several terms.
Thus it will be seen that he was per-
meated through and through with re-
spectability. In all the queer things that
have been done in Cincinnati and else

had no hand. He is man of peace.
This summer he made the tour of Eu-
rope with his wife. His face ought to
have insured his safety anywhere, for
Mr.. Douglas is a very good looking man.
Besides, he had letter from Secretary
Blaine.
But in Germany this first class citizen
was not saved by all these favorable cir
cumstances. Nothing saved him. He
was arrested as a Nihilist and thrown

parcel containing asthma medicine. The
German minions pounced upon this as
an eagle swoops upon lamb in the old
school readers. They felt it, they smelt
it. Dynamitel The perspiration stood
in drops on their Teutonic brows, and
their Teutenic hair stood on end. Trem-
blingly they hurried the American school
board president before their superior.
He showed his letters, he begged and ex-
planned in the choicest Cincinnati ver-
nacular.
No go. At least, it was not for good
while. The luckIess asthma medicine

officially analyzed let be must, the
German interpreter told Mr.. Douglas
A powerful guard with outstanding eyes
was then stationed around the respect
able American. Not till his asthma
medicine was boiled, bubbled, burnt,
stepped, precipitated and winnowed by
a group of speetacled German chemists
was he allowed to go German men of
science do not hurry.
But this is not the last of the outrages

Government Prisons.

Washington ty, Dec. 6.-Attorney General
Garland, IN his annual report, makes an earnest
appeal to congress to provide for the construction
of gov rnment penitentiaries and reformatories.
Recent laws that have been enacted by states
with respect to the labor of prisoners prove more
conclusively than ever, he says the absolute need
of such institutions. Provision should at once be
made looking to the erection of at least one United
States pententiary. and if possible, reforma-
tory The objection in the minds of many that
the cost of conducting such institution would
be so much greater than the present arrangement
is being almost overcome by the fact that the ia
vorabIe contracts which the department has here
tofore been able to enter upon no longer be
made. This arises from the fact that laws passed
recently by several of the states and by congress-
prevent the employment of prisoners on contract
labor. This necessitates a resort to experiments
in other systems, as provs. on must necessarily
be made for the working of convicts. if discipline
is to be maintained. and the prisoners health and
comfort cOnsi dered.
A large number of prisoners convicted in the
United states courts are those who have commit
ted but single offense and who have but COM
menced life of crime. III they could be pre-
vented from assocating with hardened criminals
and not confined in institution which in every
be reformed. Besides, many are young m en- who
have had positions of trust and responsibility,
and who. through temptation, have committed
some crime against the laws OF the country
These and the class referred to above, should not
be confined in prison, but the government
should provide suitable reformatory where pro-
per infuen ce could be thrown around them and
their reformation effected as is now done in sew
eral states.
In addition to all this he says it would seem
that the United States should have model prisons
and reformatories of its own in which to confine
its criminals, and provision could be made for the
employment of the inmates at some suitable in
dustries system of labor which would not
violate the recent act of congress. nor be incon-
sisent with the laws passed by the several states
and the prevailing OPP Mons relative to the subject
OF contract labor. Advance Sun.

The gradual decrease of the prison pop
ulatiOn of Iowa leaves no question of doubt
as to the cause. Since the law of prohibit
ton was passed the number Of persons
charged with crime has gradually decreased,
and as the law has been enforced in the
larger cities of the state by slow process
it only remains to be demonstrated that
when the traffic in lntOXicants is thoroughly
suppressed the prisons of Iowa will hold
but few criminals, and the condition of
actual criminality will be separated from
accidental wrong brought within the opera
ton of criminal laws.
1t is safe to conclude that in ten years. at
the present rate of decrease the prisons of
Iowa will contain less than one hundred
men. Here is solution of the prison.
labor problem, for if the great state of
Iowa with a population of 1.753, $50 can
reduce her criminals to this number, time

cure their reformation and the question of
finance will be inferior to the Importance of
restoring every man to liberty fitted to earn
