improved In Jail.

Every time batch Of Jail prisoners are
arraigned ia tie criminal court | am
struck by the vast Eiprovement in their
personal appearance tI;tt few months
confinement gives them. In 90 cases out
of 100 they are coarse, brutal, heavy
drinking class, and show their low
habits in their faces. In the Jail they
get the whisky out of their skins, the so
called Jail pallor leaves their faces clear
and white. and more or less refined, and
they make better impression upon
jury than they certainly would if brought
to trial when first arrested. A striking
case in point was Sanders, the dog
catcher, who killed Police Officer Printz.
When he was first put in Jail he was
about the toughest. bloated and alto
gether brutalized specimen of humanity
l had ever seen. Eight months later he
was brought to trial. 1t was almost i'm
possible to recognize in the pale, finely
drawn features of the quiet, self pos
sessed and intelligent talking prisoner
the hoodlum of the previous year. His
appearance made such good impression
that he got off with two years SEN
tence, when believe if the same Jury
had seen him as | did he would have
been sent up for life.-Circuit Attorney
in st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Faith Still Untouched,

The never ending controversy about
the relation of consciousness or mind to
matter is still kept up; but there seems
to be no solution of the problem and no
apparent prospect of any solution. The
semi-materialistic view was well nigh
exhausted by Professor Tyndall in his
famous Belfast address," delivered some
fifteen years ago. 1t evoked a storm of
unnecessary wrath from theologians,
but, considering how inconclusive it was
when the real issue was approached, that
of an intelligence other than what we call
nature, it is wonder that scientific men
do not confess that they know at least as
little as the theologians about final causes.
Tyndall has said nearly all that'can be
said pointing toward the idea of Luz
cretius, mature is seen to do. all things
spontaneously of herself, without the
meddling Of the gods::" but at last, and
with a real pathos, he declares: "Con-
sidered fundamentally, then, it is by the
operation of an insoluble mystery that
life on earth is evolved, species differen-
tiated and mind tlnfolded from their pre-
potent elements in the unreasonable
past"
He is following Herbert Spencer, but
he does not contradict him, and it is a
confession that science has not found
out the origin of life nor made any dis
covery as to the essential constitution of
the human mind. The faith in God is
left unscathed by all these scientific re-
searches. Pittsburg Chronicle.

His Tribute.

Old Peter Rice, for many years a resi-
dent of a certain New England village,
was one Of those unwise and unjust men
who never praise their wives, and who
do not seem to realize how blessed they
are in the way of companions until
death comes suddenly to leave them des-
olate and uacafed for.
Old Peters kindly, accomplishing and
unappreciated wife died suddenly one
day, and Peter came at once to a realiz-
ing sense of her many virtues, and was
evidently filled with longing to prove
to his friends that he was not blind to
his wife's projections.
This desire increased as the hour for
the funeral services drew near, and when
all the friends had assembled at the
house Peter touched the hearts as well as
the palatcs OF those present by suddenly
appearing With 4 huge yellow bowl piled
high with doughnuts in his hands.
Passing from one to the other of his
friends he said with fearful earnestness:
"Have one: they are the very last of
my pore Marier's bakin'; and they can't
be beat-no, they can't! Pore, pore
Marier!'-Detroit Free Press.

Health Hints.
Don't contradict your wife.

Don't contradict your wife.
Don't tell a man he is a stranger to the
truth because he happens to be smaller
than yourself. Errors of this kind have
been known to be disastrous.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet. Leave them beside the kitchen
fire, where they will be handy to put on
in the morning.
1t is bad to lean your back against any
thing cold, particularly when it is an icy
pavement, upon which your vertebral
arrangement has caromed with jolt
that shakes the buttons off your coat.
Always eat your breakfast before be-
ginning journey. If you haven't any
breakfast don't journey.
After violent exercise, like putting up
the stove or mailing down carpets, never
ride around town in an open carriage.
1t is better to walk. 1t is also cheaper,
When hoarse speak as little as possible,
If you are not hoarse it won't do you any
harm to keep your mouth shut, too.
Don't light the fire with kerosene. Let
the hired girl do it. She hasn't any wife
and children. You have.
Don't roam around the house in your
bare feet at the dead of night trying to
pick up stray tacks. Men have been
known to dislocate their jaw through this
bad practice.
When you see o man put the lighted
end of cigar in his mouth, don't ask
him if it is hot enough. Serious injury
has often resulted from this habit

American FOCS.

An analysis Of a London fog makes it a
mixture of vapor and the soft coal smoke
that hangs like a pail over that city. The
smoke from the coal is slightly reddish,
which gives the fog its peculiar tinge.
All England is apt to be enshrouded in
fogs. In London the air, full of vapor,
holds the smoke close down to the ground,
so that it cannot escape, and thus comes
the London fog.
In our American cities where the soft
coal is burned q state of atmosphere
closely approxinlating that Of London is
developed as the towns grow larger. In
London, in the depths Of one of its heavy
fogs, coachman has been known to
drive up the steps of one Of the largest
churches in broad daylight, SO completely
obscuring was the dense vapor cloud. 1t
can never be as bad as that in America,
because our atmosphere is drier. Still,
on the seaboard nd on water courses, in
cities where tl4 bituminous coal is
burned, fogs of late years have become
sufficiently heav= to be both annoying
and dangerous. In Cincinnati there are
occasionally days of darkness which can
only be compared to a London fog. Gas
must be burned all day, even in the
streets, sometimes. The same is true of
Chicago. Serious accidents have hap
pened in the fogs of those cities.
New York, situated SO as to catch the
sea fogs on all sides, is better Off. than
the ether cities, from the fact that the
people burn anthracite coal, which enlits
little smoke. Only for this New York
fog would be as much to be dreaded as

The late Benia F. Wade. of Ohio,
YVES, at the beginning of his career at
the bar, noted for his usefulness; but
another trait, his determination, enabled
him to get through his work in way
which, though not conventional, landed
him at his destination.
Once, while youth, he started with a
bag of corn on his shoulders to mill
twenty miles away. It was in Noyem-
Der, and coming to a full banked river,
he discovered that the canoe was on the
other side. Throwing off his clothes, he
plunged in, gained the canoe, took il
back where the bag of corn was, which
he ferried across, and then went on his
way.
Another Illustration of his way of do,
ing things occurred while he was jus
tice of the peace. One day q young
couple called at his Office to be married
The presence of four or five irreverent
young men prompted the bashful justice
to suggest privately to the pair that they
had better meet him at the little hotel.
They went, and 50 did the justice, by
a roundabout way, only to discover that
the boys were also there. Seeing that
he must perform the ceremony in theil
presence, he, though he had forgotten
the usual formula, proceeded to business
in the most direct way.
"You wish to be married." he asked
the pair.
"Nes."
Stand up and take hands. YOU" ad
dressing the not prepossessing groom
''wish to marry this young woman?"
Eyes"
"Of course you do!' exclaimed the
justice, glancing at the pretty bride, and
asking her, DO you take this young
man for your husband?"
Yes"
"Well, you are getting the worst of it.
but say you are husband and wife
There, boys, you see l did it, he con
cluded, CHANGING at the spectators.
The couple had to have it explained tc
them that they were, in the eyes of the
law, welded. Whereupon the husband
offered the justice q fee-the statute
made it &l.5Q-which, by lofty motion
of his hand, he waved off, saying
Nothing for job like that!

The Methodist Itino-acy.

Since the foundation OF the Methodist
Episcopal church the itinerant system
among the ministry was what distin-
guished it from other Protestant denGmi-
nations. The circuit rider was familiar
as the log cabin and the shotgun to the
pioneers. From settlement to settlement
he rode on horseback, preaching one sun
day here, next Sunday somewhere else.
Then the country became more settled
and towns sprang up. Then minister
was allowed to have a station, IS it was
called. He might be the pastor Of one
church for two years, but then he must
move on. Rotation in Office for the
preacher was considered best for the in
terests of church, and certainly the
church grew and prospered nightly IN
der the system, however hard it was on
the minister to be wanderer on the face
of the earth.
At length there came time when, by
special permission. and at the wish Of a
congregation, the preacher might remain
pastor of the same church three years.
Finally the time was heightened to five
years. Now we are told that minister
Of the denomination has accepted o
"call'' from q congregation in distant
state, in another conference. VIII the
Methodist church eventually give up the
itinerant system altogether?

mere population is to be counted, he
dwarfs rather than enlarges his field in
going to the Ohio city. But perhaps the

instead of size. In that case, he must
