Women to BE Employed as Inspectors
and Instructors.
The central committee for home mis-
sions in Berlin is devoting it's attention
at present to the necessity of a thor
ough preparation and practical train
ing Of women inspectors of prisons
Women, says the New York Ledger,
form a quarter of the number of pris-
oners, and consequently it is highly de-
sirable that women inspectors should
be appointed who could exercise a good
influence over the women intrusted to
their care. The candidates are to be
between twenty-four and thirty-fve
years of age, must be healthy and OF
good character, must have had fairly
good education, have interested them
selves in parochial work, be DESTROYS Of
specially educating themselves for
prison work, and be prepared to defray
the cost of their equipment as well as
the Journey to Berlin. Eight months
are demanded for the training-four of
which are to be spent in the Magdalen
institute, two in Berlin prisons and two
in penitentiary for women. In the
Magdalen institute they are to assist
in all the instruction given by the Sis
tiers in the education of the children,
and to share all the hospital work and
lectures which the sisters have in the
Augusta hospital. The chaplain of the
Magdalenum, Pastor Wiessner, will
give instruction in pedagogy and lee
trre on the best method of caring for
the souls of the prisoners. The presi-
dent of the police, Herr Won Richthofen,
and the director of the prisons, Herr
DR.. Krohne, have assured the pro-
moters of the movement Of their
warmest sympathy, and promised
hearty cooperation in the work. After
completing the course certificates of
proficiency will be awarded to those
candidates who have satisfied the au-
tl1orities of their suitability for the
work and have passed a final examin-
alton. The representatives of the CEN
trail board have already announced that
such candidates will be admitted to
posts in the prisons The cost Of the
undertaking will amount to one thou
sand two hundred dollars yearly, and
will be betrayed by the central board
for home missions.

Some Queer People.


There is now living in Madrid, says
Spanish exchange. a lady belonging to
a distinguished family, who has been
confined to her bed for the last fifty
years. A highly esteemed physician, in
the province Of Galacia, has kept his
bed for the last sixteen years, merely
for the enjoyment Of the thing. He has
never got up during the whole OF this
period, and as he cannot go to his pa
tients, the latter come to him. He enjoys
high and ever increasing reputation,
so that his house has become much
frequented resort for pilgrims from all
parts of the country. We are here re-
minded Of an episode in the life Of
Charles XII. Of Sweden. After the I'M
lucky battle of Pnliava he took refuge,
with a few followers. on Turkish terri
tory. It was here at Bender-where
the king lay in bed for the space Of six
teen months, and nothing could per-
suade him to get up, young, strong and
hearty though he was. He took his bed
through sheer obstinaey, and IN the
hope of thereby inducing the sultan TO
pay him the first visit. /. s..s 4.

1t isn't the usual aoGy

It isn't the usual e0Gy
its just the reverse-to pay
patient when you can't cure him.
Nevertheless, that's what's done by
the proprietors of DR.. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. They promise to
pay you $500 if they can't cure
your catarrh, no matter how bad
the case. 1t isn't mere talk-it's
business. You can satisfy yourself
of it, if you're interested. And you
ought to be, if you have catarrh.
It's faith in their medicine that's
behind the offer. 1t has cured
thousands of the worst cases, where
everything else failed. You can be
cured, too. If you can't, you get
the money. They're willing to take
the risk-you ought to be glad to
take the medicine.
It's the cheapest medicine you
can buy, because it's guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
get. Can You ask more?
That's the peculiar plan all DIR
Pierce's medicines are sofa on.

Misleading Book Titles.

A paper has been read before the
Library association on the misleading
titles of modern books. The subject
is one in which the book buying pub
lie is necessarily interested. There
are many, even in these shrewd and
careful times, who purchase volumes
on the strength of advertisements, or
after casual glance at the names of
a book and its author. The wiser
mind waits to know something about
the wares offered to it, but to many
the mere title of a book is alluring,
suggestion all sorts of possibilities
which may or may not befulflled. Man
kind does not learn by experience,
either personally or by deputy.
With the old sta nding example be-
fore them of the ingenious countryman
who bought Ruskins work "On the
Construction ofSheepfolds" under, the
impression that it was an agrilcus1u
raj treatise, men and women still rush
upon their fate in the matter of book
titles. And they aremeanwhile fooled
to the top of their bent. The title we
have just quoted is, as everybody
knows, by no means Ruskin's only
achievement in the direction of mis-
leading-or at least mystifying-the
public Sesame and Lilies" "The
Crown of Wild Olive" '"The Queen of
the Air." "Fors Clavigera'-these,
and others in their time, have created
quite as much confusion in the minds
of the simple and confding.
And, fortified by so illustrious an
example, the book producers go on
mystifying and misleading outdoing
each other in the prevented ingenuity
of their nventions.-London Globe.

Electric Light for Mines.

While it is not impossible that ex-
plosions might occur in mines lighted
solely by electricity from imperfect in
sulation or the breaking of incandes-
cent lamps, yet the fact that no acct
dents of this kind have occurred in the
mines in which the experiment has
been tried is strongly in its favor.
Apart from the fact that insulated
wires and incandescent lamps afford
no point OF contact between the ex-
plosive gases and the fatal spark that
renders them destructive to human
life, the placing of the entire business
of lighting the mines in charge of a sin
gle agency independent of and apart
from the miners themselves would be
a great advantage. Those who arein-
teresting themselves in legislation for
the protection of miners will do well
to give the subject of doing away with
all lights in the hands of miners them
selves serious consideration.-Phila-
delphia Times.

"No, sir, l did not think it posi-

"Do you know anything about the

The standing of DR.. Henion, Mr..
Warner and DIR. baltimore in the
community is beyond question, and
the statements they make cannot for
a moment be doubted. DR.. Henion's
experience shows that Bright S disease
of the kidneys is one of the most de-
ceptive ana dangerous of all diseases,
that it is exceedingly common, but
that it can be cured ii taken IN time.
