New Prison Reform Needed.

For fifty years philanthropists have been
trying TO change the old system of prison
management by substituting q reforma-
tive for the purely primitive method. 1t is
natural to suppose that the change has been
for the better But the author of the strik-
ing article on prison reform in the October
Forum, Mr.. William P. Andrews, who has
been for more than forty years clerk of the
criminal court Of Salem, Mass, and is
therefore, an authority on this subject,
thinks that this change has been step back
the two systems.
''From the report OF the attorney gen.
eral for the year 1882" be says, "it appears
tina. in the dark ages of lS36-'3S, when the
primitive idea was still esteemed as valuable
end in accordance with immutable law,
England and Wales, with a population OF
l4.OOO, 900. had but IA. III prisoners, or one
| to every 94S inhabitants; New York, with
a population of 2,2OO,O 200, had LOSS pris-
oners, or one to every 2,025 (the reformer
| was not then active in New YORK;; Massa-
| chusetts, with population of 100000, had
S52 prisoners, or one to every 500 inhabi-
tants. The last report Of the commissioners
of prisons. which has continued this portion
| Of the reports of the earlier attorney gen-
eral. shows that this proportion of pris-
oners TO population has vastly changed. The
4 population has only trebled, but the number
| of prisoners has increased f1fty-fold.'
| This is a serious showing, and one that
| must needs make the prison reformers stop
| and think whether they are or are not really
working in the interests of society. Surely
there is danger in making prisons too at
tractive.
That Massachusetts has already ex-
perienced this danger is proved by the cases
which Mr.. Andrews cites of the old gardner,
who has had himself committed to the
house of industry more than hundred
times, and Of the Salem you his who wished
to have their sentences increased from four
to eight months, as well as by that OF the
physician imprisoned for malpractice, who
remarked one day that be enjoyed prison
life so much thai he should not be sorry if
the pardon for which he applied was refused
him. When such condition of affairs as
| these indicate can exis. in our prisons, it is
| time to reform the reformers who have
brought it about

Tried Els Best to plaase.

Not very long ago a good pianist who had
made reputation decided to locate in a certain
city-in Chicago will say. says writer il the
Chicago Evening Post. Here be met an old
newspaper friend, who. IN his capacity as uu-
seal critic OF morning daily, determined to
help him.
So when the pianist gave his first recital after
opening his studio the critic. true to his friend
sap, attended it. He went to the Office after
the performance and wrote a flattering motto >
| IN which be said that THE programme was ore
oil many difficulties and that it's equal had not
neeh presented IN Chicago for several years, and
That 1t had been artistically interpreted."
lew days after the pianist and critic met on
the street. THANK you for tbs nice notice you
gave me. said the pianist, but WY did you
| spoll II by making comparisons? You say that
gramme been played. Pray, when was a pro
gramme like it ever played in Chicago?" The
critic admitted be might have made a misa axe
soon after the pianist gave another recital, and
the critic was again an auditor.
He wrote another notice, and. remembering
what his friend had said, he thought he would
De sure to avoid comparisons and please bis
acquaintance. This time he wrote that ''not
since toe days of Rubenstein and Won Bulow
mad such piano playing been heard in Chicago.
II was great"
Shortly atterward the two met again. That
was a lovely notice you gave Of my last re-
cltal, said the musician to the critic; but
why is 1t that you must make comparisons?
Now, 1t is well known fact tn t Rub5nsr Elm
strikes false notes by the handful aud Won
Bulow is little more than a machine. l don't
see why you should drag Their names in and
compare me with them"
The critic again admitted that be might be
wrong, and he mentally vowed that he would
satisfy his finical friend il he ever got the
chance again. So when the next piano recital
was given he went there, and after it was over
he wended his way to his Office and wrote an
exec plonally good notice, in which he stated
that MIR. Smiths playing was wonderful" and
that he 1.-THE critic doubted if the Almighty
could DO as we'll
This the newspaper man thought would
surely satisfy Smith. When the two met again
Smith said: That was very beautiful notice
you gave me the las time But see you still
keep up your comparisons Why, man, what
did you drag in the Almighty fory What does
he know about piano playing, aud haven't l
been studying music for over twenty years?'

You Need Eyes to Enjoy Cigar.


As the gentleman who serves me with cigars
handed over box of the usual brand the other
day says New York Herald man, noticed
that they were not quite the right color, and
said SO.
My dear sir" he remarked with a smile, as
he handed me another box, "if you were to
close your eyes as you smoke them You couldn't
tell the difference"
1t was now my turn to smile at what / con-
sidered a bit OF pleasantly.
20, yes replied.
20 nc" he said, and growing serious 'Tn
wager you box that you couldn't tell what
you we're smoking if you could e see."
laughed now, and he went on:
Don't you know that the Imagination is as
potent factor in the enjoyment of a cigar as
anything else. Seeing your smoke is what
MAKES the sensation something pleasant"
l was still incredulous.
Did you ever see tlind man smoking?" he
finally asked
Well. that was poser. never have. Have
you? admitted as much and wondered why.
ut is simply because be can't see, said the
tobacconSt "A blind man can smell aud taste
as well as anybody else, probably better; but
no m after how great a smoker a man is if he
loses his sight he no longer enjoys smoking"
Now here was bit of intelligence that ven
ture to say very few smokers know-that sight
is prime requisite to the enjoyment of pipe
or cigar. / asked a friend who smokes about
it. He was equally as surprised as had been
TO learn that this was always So
"But," ne added almost Immediately, 'hera's
an experience that bears it out, and he told me
OF a close acquaintance who had. through an
accident become blind. He had been a gre at
smoker, and was a stickler for a good cigar
Thinking to console him somewhat my friead
called and took with him a box of choice cigars
which he presented with few emphatic re-
marks.
Thanks, awfully, old man." said the bind
man, you're very kind. but don smoke now;
don't enjoy it, ia fact"
