There is one point in which Finnish
prisons take precedence of all others l
have visited in Europe, Asia or Amer
lea. mean in the chains used therein
and their enormous weight. In two
cells at Abo we found a man in each
laden with terrible irons, weighing in
the first case three Finnish lis-punds,
or sixty pounds, and in the second
case more than a hundredweight. In
the latter instance the unfortunate man
had iron bands round his neck and
waist, fastened together by a heavy
chain which continued nearly to the
ground, and was furtheS attached to
two chains securing the ankles. The
hands were likewise secured by links
riveted to the waistband. l obtained
photographs of men thus chained, but
not representing the worst, for have
seen also in Finland thick iron anklets
pierced with holes, through which is
passed an iron bolt thick as u crowbar,
and the forty pounds weight of which
rests on pads on the insteps. Henry

Two things man who knows how
to make a cigarette never does: he
never troubles the manufactured arti.
Gle, and he never uses mouthpiece.
The use of a mouthpece destroys the
flavor of the cigarette. The smoke q
cooled by passing through the tobacco
and paper moistened by the lips, and
if this moisture is absent the flavor Of
the tobacco is not nearly SO delicate.
For this reason an old smoker never
rolls thick cigarette, but chooses
small papers, and leaves a space at the
end containing no tobacco. No mat
ter how good the tobacco may be in .
manufactured cigarette the end that d
put into the mouth is always thick, and
the cooling by moisture is thus pre-
vented. Interview in st. Louis Globe

Wooden Bands to Prevent Them Bursting


The natives of several of the South
Sea islands cut off cylinders of hollow
trees and slip them up over the feet
and legs to the armpits, thus leaving
the whole stomach and abdomen COW
cred with a solid wooden band. In this
condition they begin the feast which
celebrates both the beginning and the
ending of the rainy season. Sumard
mentions seeing them SO tightly wedged
in these improvised casks as to be utter
ly incapable of extricating themselves
even by outside help.
The misery endured by these poor
fanatics while in this helpless condition
must be terrible, as it is well known
that the roots, fruits and plantain they
use for food causes misery to the user,
even when not fettered by bands OF
any kind. Yet il is not strange that
these savages should have such rites
when our forefathers of but a few cen
turtles ago did as bad or even worse
not even providing a wooden band

SAW A GOLD MINE in his DREAM.

An OA Hunter Dreams About an An
cient Shaft That Is Now Being Worked.
IN 1880 an old buffalo hunter return
ing from winter hunt in Paradise val
ley calnped for dinner at the old cross
ing on the Colorado river, just below
our city. After an hours sleep he
awoke to find that his horse had wan
dered of, and he at once set out to find
him. Looking up and down the river
until overtaken by darkness he returned
to camp at the ford, and prepared for
nights rustling with wolves, panthers,
catamounts and other ravenous beasts
that infested the country at that time.
On the morrow he renewed his hunt,
and walked over hill and dale until 12
o'clock with no success.
Stretching himself under an elm tree
that stood near the road he soon
dropped into slumber, and during that
sleep he dreamed that an old man came
to him and told him to go up the river
until he found gulch reaching back
into the hills. "Go up that gulch and
on large rock you will find your horse
standing" said the old man. 1.-THE
rock under that horse is one of the
richest deposits of gold on earth, all of
which is yours if you 60 to it,"
About this time the sleeper awoke
from his slumbers, arose, and while the
dream was fresh commenced the search
anew for his horse. One hundred
yards from camp, along up the valley,
he got view of the gulch which
filed the bill of his dreams. Up the
gulch he went, and sure enough, on @
small table of rock some thirty feet III
diameter, his horse was standing
Bridling his horse he looked over tn,
ground, and imbedded in the face o
) the rock found an old chisel, which
2 had the appearance of having beer

HUMANE SOCIETY.

An expressman had two horses
who had been together for a long
time and were greatly attached to
each other One night not long ago
the stable where they were kept was
broken open and one of the horses
vas stolen. Detectives were put up
on the track, the owner joined in the
search, but nothing was heard of the
missing horse. The owner, howev-
er, would not give it up.
One day, driving the missing
horses mate, he went to visit an
auction stable,a place where horses
were sold atauction. AS he was driv-
ing up toit, but still some distance
away his horse grew uneasy and
a loud Whitney, which, moment
after, was answered by Whitney
from the stable.
"My horse is in that stable" ex
claimed the man. He got out of his
wagon, went in, and there, to be sure
was his stolen horse. The animals
seemed overjoyed to meet each 9TH
Ell, whinneied back forth, rubbed
each others necks, and INDUCED in

Now, how do you suppose the
horse outside knew that his mate
was inside that stable? Was il

finer than any with which human
beings are endowed with facultie:
or instincts which we can not begiI
: to comprehend.
