Without loss OF time when the intestinal
canal is blocked up by reason Of constipa-
ton, chronic or temporary. 1t should be
borne in mind that this ailment is prone
to become lasting and obstinate, and
breed other and worse complaints. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is the precise
remedy to remove the obstruction effect
ually, but without drenching or weaken
ing the blockaded bowels. a consequence
always to be apprehended from the use OF
violent laxatives, which are among the
most pernicious of the cheap nostrums
swallowed by the credulous and misin-
formed. The fat of experience, and of
the medical fraternity, sanction the claims
Of this standard aperient. Not only as a
source of relief and permanent regularity

means OF ~remedying and preventing kid
ney and bladder troubles, and fever and

III many Of the people who are fortunate
enough to keep the right side of the law. could
hear some of'the conversations that are carried
on between convicts. when their positions or EN-.
ployment necessitates or permits their speaking.
they would change their ideas about the mental
abilities of goodly portion Of those who fill our
prisons. tits generally accepted that prisoners
on the whole. are thoughtless and careless class.
who take interest only in the passing pleasures of
life. Our experience here refutes this idea to u
great extent. We have heard convicts intelli-
gently discuss matters requiring deep thought.
more often than we hear them indulging in idle
chit.chat. All are not studiously inclined;
but the generality of prisoners will compare most
favorably, regards sense and ordinary ability,
with the average m iddle class on the outside.
-supt. Covell is the busiest mar about the
prison these days-he has the fire chock-full of
irons. Work about the tub and pail factory is
making good progress. The frame work of the
large dry-kiln is going up and all the lumber for
its construction is on the ground. The machinery
has begun to arrive and will continue coming
along for the next seven weeks, by which time it
is thought it will all be here. Mr.. Covell found
on going east to purchase machinery that none of
the factories had a single piece in stock and were
five to six weeks behind with orders from both
this and foreign countries. All the machinery
will be made to order and will be of the latest and
best patterns. After everything is here and the
dry-kiln is finished it will be about month before
the lumber can be seasoned and all other things
prepared to start in manufacturing. The Super
intendent estimates that about December LIST will
see the tub and pail factory in complete working
order.
