FEMALE CONNECTS.
Various Restrictions Which Make Their
 Ncrance EouhIy Vile.

Compulsion is the woman convict's drop of bitterness. The complete modification of that harmless sort of vanity winch fills so much of a wouans life makes her dur ance doubly vile. All her fine feathers arc sacrificed ruthlessly. Her hair, which she has apostolic authority for regarding as an ornament, is shorn of its last lock as soon as her cell has been allotted to her; and the face which has gazed with perfect passive ness, almost to arouse a country'S admira- ton, and the tongue that has been mute under the finding of jury and sentence of judge, are raised to plead pathetically with the holder of the sclssors, while the cor riders sometimes ring again to the piercing cries for sIarirg pity as the memorable shearers gather their harvest of curls. But spring returns, and the hair renews itself, and before the next shear ing-day the girls grumble that a thoughtIess administration provides them with no hair-plns. One woman, whose hair continued to be suspiciously resplendent, as of nacassar, after weeks of incarceration, was an object of some wonderment, even to the chaplain. until sne explained to him in confidence that she allowed her broth to grow cool, and then skinned off the fat to glitter in her crown of glory. Another girl certainly rougcd. and rouge tells effectively on the pallor of prison confinement. Great was the OBVIOUS inauguration or her sisters in servitude against frivolity so unattain- able; but greater still, perhaps, was the curiosity to discover how the accomplish ment of such frivoiity could be attained
 At length it was discovered that the red threads woven among the blue shirts which she had to sew would, when drawn out and chewed, yield the bloom yearned after by the check of beauty. The manner In which nearly every woman finds it possible to disarrange and double one of her underskirts, and prese nt the fascinations of crinolette, is so comic that it has been known to wiring a smile from that gravest among men-a prison chaplain. And a woman without a looking glass! Only the austerest and severest orders of nuns renounce that And, per haps, it is the female prisoners most op- pressive penance, fer the relief of which she is even willing to risk the imposition of extra punishment-a task the more, meal the less. By an accident, which she de- clares she will regret for lifetime, she has broken a window. The hole is there, sure enough; but where is the detached glass9 Days after this it is found concealed in a corner of her cell, and behind it strip of dark cloth, her substitute for quicksilver And all for whats There are TO male hearts to break and few male eyes to see-only | those of governor, chaplain and doctor, :.

NEWSPAPER NONSENSE

IT is reported that there is skipper who has been so often across the Atlantic that he knows every wave by sight,
 AN "affair of honor" between 8 Louisiana sheriff and a Southern editor resulted fatally for both. Pistols are yet dangerous weapons in the hands of experts.
 A sCAREcRow in Norfolk not only scared every crow that saw it, but one crow was so frightened that he brought back the corn he had carried to his nest three days before.
 IT is figured that 1t would take one hun dred million dollars to give every poor per son in the world an oyster stew, roast of beef and mince pie, and the philanthroptst with a cash capital of seven dollars may well feel discouraged.
 IN Madagascar you can keep house, live well and have three servants for about seventy cents per week. A hired girl would be paralyzed with astonishment if paid over six cents per week, and the washwoman thinks she has Q soft snap at three cents per day.
 A wELLKNowN Oil City man, who has for years acted as usher in one ot the churches. recently went away for vacation. He took a seat in the cars several minutes be- fore the train started, and every time per son stepped in he would get up and show him or her to a seat.
 A RAILROAD conductor wanting to teach a new brakeman his duties told him to go to the other end of the car and when he, the conductor, called out the names of the sta tions along the route that he should say the same at the ena of the car. When they came to the first station the conductor called out ''Ma-wash-in-e-ta," which Is small l town between Indianapolis and Elkhart, Ind, and the brakeman yelled with all the might his lungs would permit him: ''The same at this endv'
 passengers on Hudson river train by the strange proceedings of a supposed lunatic turns out to be groundless. The man was after all merely harmless eccentric, who sat still with his hat oil, had his ticket ready as often as the conductor became anxious about it, never once banged the car door all the way from Peekskill to the Grand Central and gently closed his eyes when the apple and news fiend passed through. ] AN Enghshman visiting Lake Tahoe asked native if there was good fishing in the lake. ''Oh! yes, stranger.'' "What kind of fish do you catch herei" ''Ohi all kinds, stranger" "What did the largest Ash you ever caught here weighr "Wall, stranger, we don't take no weighing ma chimes when we goes fishing, and am an honest man and wouldn't like to say how much that last trout caught would weigh.
 But tell you, stranger, that when pulled

MARRIAGE appears to be rapidly tai

MARRIAGE appears to be rapidly talk ing rank as form of punishment, to be ordered by English magistrates, like a fine or ''fourteen days" A young man at Worcester stabbed his sweetheart in the neck-the result of a lovers quarrel; but the youth has not been sent to prison-he has been discharged on the understanding that he marries the girl.
 THE ADMINISTRATION REBUKED. The returns from yesterdays elections are coming in slowly, which is a sure indication that the republicans have made mess of it and are sparring for wind. From Virginia comes the cheer ing news that Malone, the disreputabIe, has been buried almost out of sight. Later returns increase the democratic majority in the state and prove the monstrous mistake made by President Harrison in tying his fortunes to Vir- ginia's political thug. Malone appro- priately closed his political career by shooting man who was rejoicing over the negro intimidator's defeat.
 1Ao pASoCAo "AltlHS IOIdhcA lS pcA1cNSO to be defeated in Ohio, another cause for democrats to rejoice. New York went democratic as a matter of course, as did Mississippi. Massachusetts is re- publican by a greatly reduced majority, local issues contributing much to the increased democratic vote. Leon Abbett is elected governor of New Jersey over the republican candidate by a large majority for so small state. Even Iowa which was counted sure for the republicans elected the entire democratic ticket by majority of probably 10000. Nearly every part of the state shows democratic gains, which in some precincts, amount to landslide. In Maryland, although there was unusual opposition to the democratic ticket, a majority of 10000 was piled up. Returns from Nebraska give the republican ticket slightly in creased majorities over last year.
 The elections were the first of any importance since the incoming of the republican administration and the re- suit is alike gratifying to democrats and startling to republicans. In the face of the tariff reform stand taken by the democrats in Ohio and Massachusetts Foraker is possibly defeated in the former and Bracket pulls through in the latter by small majority.

RAILWAY RuMoR.

RAILROADERs have asked the Government to compel the use of automatic brakes and couplers.
 A WRITER in the Railway Ago confidently predicts that the time between New York and Chicago, now twenty four hours, will some day be reduced to ten hours.
 THE most successful electric brake is con- trolled by dynamo on the locomotive. In case train breaks in two sections sepa- The system is made up of a series of mag nets on each car.
 THE loss of coupling-p,ns, says the Albany Journal, is mystery to railroad men. Where they all go to no one appears to be able to conjecture. Even in yards where the same cars that come in go out again additional coupling pins are called for constantly. At the West Albany rall- road yard the Central Hudson railroad uses a carload of new coupling-pins a month. It is safe to say that 1000 900 pins are sup piled the West Albany yard in a year. A FAN for cars and other moving vehicles is most admirable invention. To one of the wheels of the vehicle 8 pulley Is at tached by belt to vertical shaft, having suitable bearings on one end of the car, adapted to be olutched and unclutched from another shaft exten ding the length of the car. The fan shafts are across the car, and are operated by belts or cords from the first, keeping fans along the top of the car in vigorous motion, causing constant cir- culation of air.
 A ''PALACE CHICKEN CARL is the latest development of luxury in railway transpor- tation. Some Chicago men of railway ex- perience have had one or two cars con- structed so as to contain 8 large number of separate coops with wire partitions, giving forf ho Ia fn oh nd wit arrangements for supplying the passengers with food and drink, and passage ways by which each coop can be reached. Thousands of chickens can be earned in one of these cars across the continent in good condition. A DEVICE has been invented which enables the engineer, when in his cab, to turn a switch, which can be closed again from the rear of the train. It is operated in con- nection with the "central throw" switch, and consists of Q 'shoe," which Is dropped from the forward and rear trucks. This strikes a crank, which is overthrown and the switch closed and opened as the case may be. A switch left open carelessly may thus be closed by the locomotive while at high speed, or a train side-tracked quickly in case of danger.
 AN improved headlight for locomotives has an adjustment which allows the engi- neer to conveniently direct the light as he may desire to various points oil the line The lantern is supported on a frame or plat form, which has a movement to right or left about vertical axis, and also up or down by the same means, the operating mechanism leading back to the cab, so as to be within ready reach of the engineer. He Is enabled by this arrangement to examine dangerous or doubtful parts of the road, l and in stormy weather to turn the light III fhraafnOinO IF ms 0f rfh or rock upon either side, and which are liable to fall

The Value of Good Roads.

A farmer who knows just what he is talking about hits the nail on the head when he says that nothing pays better than good roads. It costs something to secure them, but they arc the arteries that connect city and country, along which tbe life currents of comfort perpetually flow. Bad roads, full of chock holes, kill time, team and temper Be sure then that money thus intelligently expended is wisely invested and sure to re- alize future good results.

An Underground Rivor.

A subterranean river has just been dis covered in the department of Lot, France. The dlscoverers worked their way down stream for couple of miles through asuc- cession of wonderful grottoes sparkling with stalactites. They found seven lakes on their way and had to shoot thirty y-seven cascades or rapids.

INSANITY AND CRIME,

The rapid increase of insanity is one of the serious problems of the day. It appears to be peculiarly a malady of modern civilization. The greater the civilization the higher the ratio of the insane and the increase is higher than that of the population. In the highest civilized countries the proportion has grown to be something like one insane person to every 300 or 400 of the popula- tion. It has been said that, at this rate, within a comparatively short time in- sanity would become the rule and civili- zation would disappear. A paper by Dr George M. Gould, printed in the Open Court and originally read before the Medical Jurisprudence society of Phila- delphia, deals with the questions of both insanity and crime in connection with the conditions of modern society, whose constitution he holds chiefly responsi- ble for both. Dr Gould points out the use
 lessness of the mere punishment of crime for the sake of deterrent effect, and claims that punishment in reality has a stimulative effect. In view of the futillty of present methods, he thinks it advisable to remodel both penal laws and those regulating the treatment of lunatics in some way that should accom- plish decrease of the evils. He there fore suggested that all ideas of punish ment and its deterrent effect be eradi- cated from legislation and jurisprudence, and that the combined defective, de- pendent and delinquent classessIbe placed in charge of state board of control, composed of men of the highest medi- cal, legal and administrative ability, the discharging and pardoning power to be exercised solely by the board. In the treatment of these classes the sub. lime and steady purposes to cure should always be held in view, while the pro- lection of the community .and the safe guarding of the future against the inher- itance of criminal and unsound taint should be assured by the euthanasia ot idiots, monstrosities, etc, the interdic. tion of the marriage of paupers and the physically unsound, and the asexualiza
 OlOu Ol VIlc ldW DI6dh0T ttIlO tu0 "enCdllY unsound. Certainly that would be heroic treatment, and there would be no.prospect of its adoption. But there is steady tendency toward more en. frightened aud scientific methods in the treatment of these classes, as shown i1 the increasing discussion of the pro- blems, and, to less degree, in more humane legislation. AS Dr Gould finds this wrong to consist chiefly, though not wholly, in the vicious structure o1 society, economically and morally, in z perniciousness of ideal and custom that can but yield fruitage of crimlnality and mental wreckage, it is evident that the main remedy can only come with the gradual reconstruction of society upon sounder basis, with fewer incen. tives to crime and with a subsistence of the feverish unrest, that, with the worry
 uncertainty and distress that harass the mind of civilized man to-day, is mainly productive of the increase of insanity.
