The Pleasures of Prison Life.

Here is very suggestive passage
taken from William P. Andrews arti-
Gle on the "Increase OF Crime by Re-
formatory Prisons" in the October
Forum.
Several times the prisoners have
complained to the writer that the of
iicers have made a mistake in copy
Ing their Diittimuses, and not given
them time enough. Here is COM
plaint OF this character last made to
him: i have got but two months,
and l am entitled to four. Please
have it altered for me; 1 want all four
months that | was sentenced for
Again; meeting In county prison a
physician sentenced for two years for
malpractice, the wri.er was astonished
with the conversation. The prisoner
was man who had been noted for
his enjoyment of the luxuries of ex-
istence. He said: 1t is a great mis-
take you fellows make in thinking
you are infiicting punishment when
you send men here. j have been here
year, and can fully say l have en-
Joyed it SO much that / shall not feel
sorry If my pardon is not obtained.
iou see, it has been vacation, with
Just enough to do TO amuse me. The
novels in the prison library are en-
tertainiug, and / am very fond of
dominoes and checkers, and find some
first rate players among the men.
Now. if it strikes me in this way, who
have been accustomed to every lux
ury. how must it be to the poor devils
who never have Il square meal out
sidc9 Do you wonder that they flock
By hundreds and thousands to tho
Iails in winter? My only surprise is
that you can keep any of them out at
all. This is the opinion of an edu-
Gated man who has experienced the
benefits OF the system in his own per-
son. and finds them .delightfur-a
life from which he is loath to part.
But it is evident that it is far from the
'austcrity and severity which once
did 'pervade the prison place. and it
VIII be hard from this to realize the
good mans desire of 'impressing tn e
prisoner with the idea that the way of
the transgressor is hard.''

The Prince of Wales Debts.

THE exact financial position of the
Prince of Wales" says Labouchere,
editor of the London Truth, in an ar
ticle on English Royalty" which he
contributes to the October Forum, sis
not known. There have been rumors
that he is greatly in debt; but l ques-
tion their correctness. When the
prince came of age, he became pos
sessed of the accumulations realized
during his minority from the Duchy
OF Cornwall. A portion OF them was
expended in the purchase OF the San
dringham estate, and the remainder
became his. With this nest-egg, with
an income OF 9110,0o0 per annum,
one OF 100000 for his wife, a sepa-
rate provision for his children, and
with Marlborough House Kept up for
him at the public cost, there seems no
reason why his expenditure should
outrun his means. His hospitalities
are not greater than those OF the
French President, who, with less than
half his income, does not get into

Children at the Table.

The mother who compels her children
to wait for a second table or to eat with
the servant or servants whenever she has
company, simply because those children
do not know how to behave before COM
pany, is not only doing them grave in
justice, but is casting serious reflection on
her own knowledge of the amenities and
proprieties of life. She denies them the
Opportunity to learn by observation and
convinces her guests if they think about
the situation at all that her children are
i'll behaved. Everyday manner at any
table ought always to be company manners.
Let the child be fully instructed as the
proper way to eat and made to eat that
way when the family is alone and there
need be no fear of embarrassment when
guests are assembled about the board A
keen observer once remarked: Il can tell
almost exactly what the home life of a
family is if | can have the children with
me for an afternoon and during a meal.
They may try to keep up company man
ners, but evidences of the real life will slip
out the best they can do" Let the par
ents set "a good example every day at the
table and the children will naturally fol-
low that example.

PURE ENGLISH.
by whom is the Standard to be
Determined?

When London apprentice laughs at
the Scotticisms of the North Briton, and
when the Lond On Atheneum is depressed
by the Language of cultured Americans,
there is to be discovered behind the laugh
and the scott an mption that any de-
parfure from the usage which obtains in
London is most deplOrable. The laugh
and the scott are the outward and visible
signs of an inward and spiritual belief
that the Londoner is the sole guardian and
trustee of the English language. But this
is belief for which there is no founda-
ton whatever. The English language is
not bankrupt that it needs to have a re-
ceiver appointed; it is quite capable of
minding It's own business without the care
of q committee of Englishmen. If indeed
a guardian were necessary, what English
man would it be who would best preserve
our pure English-the Shepherd of Dorset
or the miner of Northumberland, the
Yorkshire man or the cockney? If it is
not the London apprentice who is to set
the standard, but the Englishman of
breeding, it il hard to discover the ground
wherein this Englishman can claim SUI
periority of taste or knowledge over the
other educated men to whom English is
