The Superintendent of the Elmira. n. Y,
Reformatory, is trying new experiment in
reformatory work. All the physically i'm
perfect and impaired prisoners are assigned
to classes for physical culture and they are
given thorough course of treatment. They
are under the charge of a special teacher and
are required to work at their own physical
repairing just as healthy inmates are re-
quired to work at trades. They are given
regular Turkish baths. dieted and treated
in every way like patients. Some of the
weaker ones are put to bed for rest at mid
day. The Superintendent goes on the theory
that the dwelling should be cleaned out and
repaired before new furnishings are put in.
We think it good idea for the condition of
the mind is much influenced by the condi-
ton of the body.

GALL HE KNEW.c

''All He Knew" is the title of a short
story by Mr.. John Habberton. 1t is story
OF an ex-convict's troubles in trying to live
a Christian life. Sam Kimper, the hero,
was an ignorant man, and had been, previ-
Gus to his Imprisonment, lazy, drunken,
thieving citizen of the village of Bruceton,
and had brought his wife and several chill
dren down to his own degraded level After
having been terror to the quiet village for
several years he was finally arrested on a
serious charge and sent to state prison for
number of years. While in prison he was
brought to realization of the evil of his
ways by the simple lessons in Christianity
taught him by the worthy chaplain. The
story opens with Sans return from prison.
He imagnes that everybody whom he
meets knows he is just out of prison. When
the train arrives at his home station he en-
deavors to get off and away to his home
without meeting any of his old acquaint-
ances, but he accidentally runs afoul of
Judge Prency and Deacon Quickest. Sam
is confused and would escape them if posi-
BILE. but they detain him with questions,
principally as to his intentions. The deacon
treats him in very condescending manner,
but the judge, the very man who had sent
him to prison. offers his friendship and as
sistance in aiding him to carry out his
avowed intention of leading proper life;
and as they part the judge gives Sam his
hand which holds $40 bill that remains
| in the ex-cOnvict's palm. Sam was aston
| ished at this-but not half so much as he
would have been had it been the deacon
who gave him the money-and hurried to
his home. But such home! ALI was pov-
erty and degradation. His little daughter
was playing in the yard. but when she rec
Ognized her father there was no sign of
gladness. When he entered the house his
wife made no demonstrations of welcome.
His children old and young treated him with
cold Indifference amounting to contempt.
Poverty and neglect had hardened them;
besides they, with very good reason, at

An Indian Legend.

In the st. CrOix river near Hudson, there.
is sand bar. the exact location of which is
we'll known to river men.
In regard to this bar the Indians have a
strange legend. The Sioux for ages had
waged savage and relentless war against
the Chippewas. who became dsheartened
by frequent reverses, and in council resolveds
on abandoning the country so dear to them,
but two young warriors stepped to the front
and begged their people to remain until
they had gone forth in battle against their
blood thirsty enemy. They called upon the
Great Spirit to witness the oath then made,
that they would neither eat nor drink until
they had overtaken and avenged the wrongs
inflicted upon their tribes.
Arranging their toilets and painting their
faces. they started down the river on their
perilous journey. The weather was warm,
and thirst and hunger began to be felt but
true to their oath, they continued their
march along the river bank. At length
strength failed, and they sat down to look
at the water they craved so much. This
aggravated their thirst. and at last one of
them resolved to crawl to the bank and
drink from the cool refreshing stream. Just
as his lips touched the water he was trans
formed into catfish, and with the instincts
OF full grown fish, he swan from the
shore. The more he drank the larger he
grew. until finally there was not water
enough to float him. He rested on the bot
tom and was soon buried beneath the sand
of Catfish bar, and there he lies to-day,
warning to his brethren to keep the pledges.

of the convicts are detailed to guard duty

For The Mirror.
Stray Thoughts.
Conceit in weakest bodies strongest works.
Best men oft are moulded out of faults.
Men find it more easy to f1atter than to
praise.
Reputation-oft got without merit and
lost without deserving.
People seldom improve when they have
no model but themselves to copy after.
Were man but constant, he were perfect:
that one error fills him with faults.
1t is good discretion not to make too
much of any man at first; because one can
not hold out that proportion.
The excuses of our youth are draughts
upon our old age, payable with interest
about thirty years after date.
The difference between those whom the
world esteems as good, and those it con-
dennis as bad, is in many cases little else
than that the former have been better shell
tered from temptation.
