The startling fact is shown by re-
ports of the Massachusetts Commis-
eioners of Prisons that during the last
fifty years, while the population Of
the state has only trebled, the number
of criminals has increased fifty fold.
There is one prisoner to every 400
inhabitants in the state, and in Boston
one TO every 222 inhabitants. This
large proportion, however. includes
re-commitments. These facts are in
lerpreted by Mr. William p. Andrews,
for many years clerk OF the criminal
court at Salem, Massachusetts. as
evidence that the .'reformatory" con-
duct of prisons has caused an alarm
ing increase of crime, and that the
substitution of refornatory for punt
tive treatment is fast bringing us to
state socialism through the attractive
ness of prison life. Mr.. Andrews
will contribute an article TO the Octo-
ber Forum, containing the results OF

The egg is most concentrated form
Of food, and very nearly perfect food
Never limit the use of eggs, for though
they be high priced they are cheaper
than meat, and very nutritious. This
does not mean that they should be

The white of the eggs, or the albumen,
consists of 95 parts water Il parts

The pure albumen is inclosed in cells
which break when beaten. Albumen
is a glutinous substance; this catches

many times. The white Of the egg IS
almost indispensable in clarifying
soups, jellies, and coffee, since the al

and draws within itself any solids or
impurities and either rises to the sur

African Wit.

Ugangas, said Stanley, "while monkey

spirit of fun I said: You are not SO very

speak to each other after fashion, and
the monkeys make signs to each other.
They understand each other, and that's
ali you can do when you talk. Neither
YOU nor the monkeys know anything

Whistler and the Goldfish.

The Ford-Whistler quarrel called
forth in a club cafe the other night
half dozen good stories about Whis-
tier, saws the N. Y. Star. One con-
oerned an amusing performance of his
in Florence. He and a brother artist
were lodging together on a high floor
of big house. and just below their
windows were those of the landlady's
apartments. One morning Whistler
discovered jar with goldfish setting
in one of the windows below, and he
at once announced his intention of 60
ing a-fshing. Batting a pin with
bit of bread crust, he deftly lowered it
into the bowl, and soon landed fish.
The operation was repeated until all
the fish had been caught, and then
Whistler proceeded to cook them just
as they were. The first taste of the
fish was enough for both artists, how
ever, and Whistler quietly lowered
them all back into the bowl. On
Whistler's return from a days outing
that evening the landlady gravely in
formed him that the sun had been SO
extraordinarily hot during the day
that her goldfish were actually boiled
to death in their bowl. How the good
woman accounted for the appearance
of the fish that the artists had tasted
Whistler does not explain.

Curious Chinese medicines.

The medicines of Caucasian civiliza-
ton are derived from many curious
origin, but if you want to find funny
things utilized as remedies for disease
you will discover them in the Chinese
pharmacopRia.
Medical science in that country has
been somewhat impeded by the respect
which the Chinese pay to dead body.
Worshiping their ancestors as they do,
their physicians would never think of
cutting up corpse. Consequently they
know nothing of anatomy. Such knowl-
edge on the subject as they pretend to
possess is derived, according to their
own account, from man born some
centuries ago, who had the misfortune
to be of a transparent consistency,
physically speaking, as if he were made
of glass, so that it was possible to see
just how things went on in his insides.
From observation of this extraordi-
nary freak it was discovered that GER
tain channels ran to each part and ex-
tremity of o human being, and that by
these channels it was possible to convey
any remedy that might be necessary to
any organ or member requiring treat
ment internally. Ever since then celes-
tial doctors have been able to tell Just
what sort of pills or decoctions were in
tended for the cure of this or that dis
order. The glass man doubtless suffered
from the experiments tried upon him by
science, but medical knowledge was
benefited inexpressibly.
Probably the Chinese pharmacopuia
is more elaborate than that possessed by
any other people. Physicians in the
Flowery Kingdom mix up together such
extraordinary things for remedial pur-
poses as we should never dream of. One
of their cures for liver complaint is OBJ

A wholesome Fear.

The many manholes which Rave b1ow5l
up from time to time and the sensl-
tioual character of the amateur elecEro-
cutions which have taken place in the
city have together produced in the
minds of the people well grounded fear.
1 was forcibly struck by scene in
Broadway recently. A. crowd had col
lected at the corner of Canal street for
some unknown reason, as crowds will,
when suddenly there was heard rum
bling noise in the sewer. The firing of
a battery of Gatings could not have dis
persed the concourse with greater dis
patch, and in fact several of the people
fell over each other in their desire toes
cape.
One excessively stout man attempted
to pass between hydrant and a: lamp
post, and, there not being room, met
with evidently very painful results. The
confusion of panic is sometimes very
funny, always providing you are not
yourself suffering from. it. An innocent
wire lying across the sidewalk will turn
the stream of travel into the roadway,
no matter how muddy it may be, as
effectually as a barricade of boxes in the
dry goods district.-New York Telegram.

YOUNG RAuM.s CASE.
The District-Attorney to Begin Proceed
ings Against Him At Once.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Attorney- Gen
eral Miller placed in the hands of Dis
trict- Attorney Cole the documents hav-
ing to do with the charge that Green B.
Raum, jr., had man appointed to a
Pension Bureau office In return for finan-
cial favors. Mr.. Cole later had an inter
view with the Attorney General, and 1t is
understood to have been decided that
proceedings against young Raum should
speedily be begun. Civil Service Com
missioner Roosevelt, In commenting on
the Attorney Generals move, said:
eve felt very sure that the testimony
made out a prima facie case against the
four men-Raum, Straun, johnson and
Smith-and that it was our clear duty to
promptly report it, not only to the heads
of departments in which the men were
serving, but also to the Attorney General
for such action as he might see fit to take.
The misconduct these men are alleged to
be guilty is Of SO serious character that
we could do no less. Incidentally the
whole affair shows the immense benefit
conferred by the civil service law in do
ing away with the possibility of the sale Of
Offices; 1t must be remembered that the
gross offence alleged was in reference to
the obtaining of q place in the unclassi-
fed service. Such an occurrence is not
only always possible, but is always prob
able under the spoils system. 1t is i'm

Briggs men are working with might and
main to stem the tide of opposition

men earnestly advocating the cause they
espouse. What the Briggs contingent
wants is an able leader, and they are try
ing hard to find one. .... .cs-....-. r.
The Rev. DR.. Herrick johnson, of Chi
cago, is here and sympathizes with DR..
Briggs, but he can take no part in the de-
bate for he is not commissioner. He is
doing yeoman's service for the Briggs
party. The Rev. Henry M. Field, D. D.,
Of the New York Evangelist, is also on
the ground and working hard on the
same side, but he can have no vote on the
question. Prof. Henry Preserve Smith,
of Cincinnati, is about the only commits
sioner of prominence who sides with the
Briggsites. He will certainly be heard
from in the great debate.

BARDsLEY A PRISONER.

The Arrest of PhiIadelphia's City Treas
- urer May Bring Out Exposures. d..
PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-The great
climax has come in the bank failure sem
sation and the matter of the accounts of
John Bardsley, city treasurer, and holder
of almost 81 ,000, 900 of money belonging
to the State. g..
Bardsley has been arrested, and is now
watched by two detectives in his elegant
residence at Germantown. He is too i'll
to be taken to court or prison, but it is
expected that he will be arraigned to-
morrow. -~
The warrant was issued by Mayor
Stuart, when he learned that the records
of the city treasurer's Office are irregular,
that his books are crooked, and that
there are gross discrepancies in his bank
accounts, and that the experts appointed
by Mayor Stuart have already discovered
a condition of affairs which indicates
that the recent revelations are merely the
beginning of series of still more as
founding exposures.
"There will be some big corpses lying
about this city," said one Of the persons
who is interested in an official capacity
in the investigation, "and If John Bards-
ley will tell the truth there will be an ex-
odus to South America or some interest
ing additions to the penitentiary popula-
ton. Philadelphia will furnish a sensa-
ton for the whole country"
Mrs. Bardsley, who is almost wild over
the whole affair, has promised Mayor
Stuart that she will use all her power to
make her husband tell everything he
knows in relation to the defunct banks,
and the city officials are hoping that ere
long they will get to the bottom of what
even the bank officials admit is one
of the most rotten concerns in the coun,

LORD sALIsRuRrs Delay.


President Harrison DIspleased with ths
English Premier's Tactics.
WASHINGTON, May 25-The President
and his Cabinet officers are not little
put out by the failure of Lord Salisbury
to reply to Secretary Blaine's proposition
that both governments permit limited
catch of seals in Alaskan waters during
the present season.
A gentlemen who called upon the Pres
ident said that he expressed himself very
much displeased with the manner in
which the Premier had treated our Secre-
tary's proposition, and he intimated that
unless a response were received soon this
government would take the bull by the
horns, and, regardless of what England
might think, issue very vigorous orders
to the commanders of American revenue
cutters.
1t was over month ago that Secretary
Blaine's proposition was transmitted to
Lord Salisbury, and, so far as can be as
certained, neither is reply on its way
nor has it even been prepared. The
alacrity with which Great Britain's chief
diplomatic officer accepted the sugges-
ton that this year there should be no
slaughter of fur-bearing animals in
Behring Sea, and the way in which he
now ignores what this government re-
CARDS as Just request, have excited
much comment here in administration
circles. ~

sealing industry have been received from
