A Cows mOtherly Love Betray's Her Calf

A Cows Motherly Love Betray's Her Calf
In pasture on a farm in East Hart
ford, recently, one of the cows had calf
which no one of the farm hands was
able to find the day after its birth. A
search proved failure until some one
suggested a novel scheme. 1t was to
bring dog into the lot, when, in all
probability, the COW would return to her
calf to defend it. The dog was brought,
and sure enough the COW started for
clump Of bushes, and among them the
calf was found, where the leaves had
concealed it.-Hartford Courant.

The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1891-07-09

There never was more farcical law put
upon the statute books than that to debar
the public from witnessing the legal eXecu.
ton of the death penalty. Every possible
precaution was taken to prevent the public
learning the particulars of the eXecu.
ton of the four murderers in Sing Sing
prison Tuesday morning. The people were
kept away from the neighborhOod of the
death chamber. the windows were blinded
and the few physicians and officials who
were admitted were required to take SOL
emn oath that they would not divulge any
thing they might see. yet within less than
twenty-fOur hours the full particulars of
the whole affair were being read in the daily
papers of every city of the United States
What is the good of all this jugglery? If it
is right to do these horrible things it is not
wrong for the public to look on. The pub
lie has right to know every particular OF
what happens in the execution room and
they will know in spite of all the secret
Oaths. high walls and armed guards that
may be sought for protection. The eyes
of the press cannot be blinded.

Prisoners Made Wage-Earners.

A new experiment is being tried in the
Elmira reformatory, whereby the prisoners
will be made wage earners. Two hundred

The Louisiana Penftentiary Struck by
CyclOne..'Een Prisoners Killed and
Several Others Injured.

The Louisiana Penftentiary Struck by
Cyclone--Ten Prisoners Killed and
Several Others Injured.
A terrible cyclone struck this city this
morning, says dispatch from Baton Rouge,
July 6. passing from southwest to north
east. Its path continued in northeasterly
direction, crossing North Boulevard, hun
dred yards to the east of the governors
mansion. 1t then went north striking the
penitentiary building. Ten convicts were
killed and thirty-SiX injured Of the num-
Der of wounded six are expected to die and
the recovery of several OF the others is eX
tremely doubtful. The total damage to the
penitentiary building is estimated at $780,
900. There were forty prisoners at work in
the pants factory at the time of the crash,
and of that number six were killed and
twenty two wounded and horribly crushed.
On the second story or central floor was the
hospital. where twenty sick prisoners lay
undergoing medical treatment. of which
four were killed and fourteen seriously if
not fatally injured. The fire alarm was
sounded and the entire fire department was
summoned to the scene of the dreadful ca
tastrOphe. and. together with the citizens
and prison officials aided by the uninjured
prisoners. worked vigorously for the rescue
of the unfortunate souls who lay, some dead
and others dying. confined under the great
heap of debris that was strewn over every
quarter of the premises. Scenes of the
greatest imaginable horror greeted the eyes
of those engaged in the rescuing work, and
the pitiful walls and death grOans from the
men buried out of sight by massive heaps of
brick and mortar could be heard arising from
every part of the wreck implOring help. and
altogether the scene was heartrending.
The storm was attended by most violent
rain. in which the rescuers worked and
toiled for several hours, or until both the
living and the dead were extricated from
the ruins.

institution. The board recommended to the
board of managers Of this institution that
system of grades or marks be adopted for
the management of the inmates. The board
also recommends organizing prisoners aid
association. The recommendations of the
board are embodied in Secretary Harris re-
port which are as follows:
l would respectfully suggest that this
board recommend to the board of managers
of the state prison an important change in
the discipline of the prison. namely, that
they establish system of grades and marks.
The first grade to be composed of men Of
unexceptiOnable conduct who show hearty
disposition to conform to the regulations of
the prison and to cooperate in promoting
good order and good morals. First grade
men to be relieved from stripes, eat in din
ing room. to have some advantages in diet;
to receive higher rate of cash allowance
than men in the lower grades. The second
grade to be composed of men who have not
been punished for at least thirty days. who
show fair degree of efficiency in their work
and disposition to obey the rules. Second
grade men to have somewhat less variety of
diet than the first grade men. to eat in their
cells and to have the privileges of the
library.
The third grade to be composed of men
who show an unruly disposition or commit
noteworthy violations of the rules. Third
grade men to march in lock step, receive no
compensation, no tobacco and no good time.
Third grade men to be able to reach the
second grade by thirty days good conduct.
This system of grading can be put into
effect without any additional legislation.
The law of Minnesota does not require the
use of striped clothing. and. so far as am
aware, prison officers do not consider it's
use essential to good discipline. In this
connection [ wish to renew my recOmmen-
datiOn Of some months ago that the board
take steps to secure the organization of a
Minnesota Prison association. auxiliary to
the National Prison association, to promote
prison reform and to aid discharged pris-
OnerS.
We believe that sooner or later the prison
management will adopt the recommends
tons of the board. 1t is only matter of a
few years until no prison will be considered
we'll regulated that is not graded. and Min
nesOta is not in the habit of following in the
rear of progress. Such system is the es-
sential feature of every reformatory and we
cannot see why it is not as much. if not
more. needed in penitentiary where it is
desired to attain the same results.

TO THE PUBLIC.

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly paper pub
lished in the Minnesota state prison. All matter
published In its columns is contributed by the
inmates, except that properly credited. Its sup
port must come from the outside as every inmate
is given paper without cost. 1t is published in
the interest of the prison library and after paying
for the printing outfit, contributed $3.50 to the
library fund the first year. Its objects are to en-
courage individual intellectual effort. provide a
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
prisons and. above ALL to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
its inner life and thus aid the Of moral ad-
yancement and prison reform.

The past week has been one of great dis
asters in which scores of human beings were
swept into eternity without moments
warning. At Ravenna. Ohio. a passenger
train stopped on the main track to make
slight repairs; freight train rushed around
the curve. out of the darkness. and crashed
into the rear cars crushing. mangling and
scattering the precious human freight. An
excursion train was crossing high trestle
work near Charleston. w. Va; the rails
spread; the cars tOpped over and went down
twenty feet. Fourteen of the merry party
were killed and many others were MANNED
and crippled for lite. In the penitentiary
at Baton Rouge. Louisiana, the prisoners
were pursuing their tasks or lying upon beds
of sickness; the walls trembled and fell in.
The cyclone had done its work. and ten
prisoners were still in death. These were
not all. probably not one half, of those who
met with violent deaths during the week.

ASKING QUESTIONS,
Curiosity Is Either a Great Virtue Or a Great
Vice,

Like most other things, curiosity may be
either a virtue or vice. With its proper
use we have no present concern. We are
only to consider one Of its most disagreeable
manifestations.
The English have an old proverb to the
effect that those who ask no questions will
be told no lies. 1t ouId be well to bear this
surly old proverb ever in mind when
tempted to make idle inquiries. There are
so many reasons why reticence is wise and
right and the knowledge of the truth might
be harmful, that the temptation to evade or
deny the truth is very strong to those whose
politeness makes it difficult for them to re-
fuse to answer even an impairment ques-
ton.
We may have no bad motives when asking
Mrs. A. how she became acquainted with
Mrs. b.; we may not, in fact, care much
about the matter, but it has occurred to US
to wonder how, why and where a lady of
such elegance and fashion as Mrs. A should
have become so intimate with the humble
and unattractiye Mrs. B. that the one can
rarely be met without the other.
So far no harm has been done. AS we
have asked no questions, no miscellaneous
surmses have been set afiOat and no rude
ness has been committed. 1t may be that
neither woman would object to making
known the origin OF their friendship, but it
may also be that to tell it would he to un-
fold long story of sorrow or misfortune.
Every one detest1 tie scandal-n0nger, but
his occupation would be gone without the
aid of the Questioner The Iatter's motives
may be innocent but the results of his vul-
gar impertinence are often disastrous.
Every one who feels in himself rising in
quiry in regard to the private affairs Of
others should curse it. Parents should use
every effort to divert the natural curiosity
of their children into useful and elevating
channels.-Harper's Bazaar
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-10-04

The handle is pounded fat, and from the
end to where it meets the bowl is engraved
a trailing myrtle. The end is surmOunted
with medallion in which is stamped a rep
resentation of the finest mosque in Cairo.
The spoon from Beirut, Syria, is of she'll
design, while Mrs. Hays also managed to
secure one from Zohah, a little Presby-
terrain mission station in Syria.
The doctor, noted for his readiness TO
poke fun at ANYTHING that has the semblance
of fad, bought two little pewter SPOONS at
the little mission of Laticea, on the NJ d
terranean coast, and told Mrs. Hays and
the other ladies in the party, who were also
making a collection, that he twas going to
be in the swim" himself. These spoons are
much smaller than the tiniest after-dinner
cOffee-spOons, and would probably be a
favorable addition to a dolls kitchen.
From Bethlehem, in the land of Judea,
the birthplace of the infant Jesus, Mrs
Hays secured the prettieSt spoon of her en-
tire collection. 1t is carved from a single
piece of mother-of-pearl, and is almost fiat
from end to end, the bowl being followed
out but little. The carving in the handle is
