The reason that actresses are SO
successfully photographed is that they
understand the laws of photography
and conform to them. They usually
assume the direction of the perform
ance for themselves and the pho
tographer is willing to let them. Mary
Anderson always superintends every
detail of the operation that puts her
features upon paper. Her London
photographer says no picture of her
face. except in direct profile, was ever
made without having the negative
changed SO as to make the outline of
the cheek a little tiatter than it natu-
rally is. Miss Anderson thinks the
contour of her full face is not oval
enough. and so she is careful that any
photograph of her shall remedy the
impersection.

Educating Children.

Gen. Wingate tells the New Yor',
Sun how he tries to prepare his chii-
dren for life. He says that he sends
them to the public school, where they
learn many valuable things that are
not in their lessons, and where the
nonsense is taken out of them. In the
summer time he sends them to q farm,
where they run wild, gain health and
strength. and get familiar with nature
and outdoor things The girls take
turns at running the house. and thus
learn practical housekeeping.

FEMININE PROPORTIONS.
Comparative Measurements OF Mrs.
LanStry and the Venus de NIedicIs.

Some London papers have been
printing facts about THE perfect wom-
an physically considered. An artist
supplies the comparative measure
ments OF Mrs. Langtry and the Venus
dc Mcdicis, two types of the ancient
and the modern worlds. The height
of these two beautiful women, the one
in flesh and blood and the other in
marble, happens to be the same-viz.,
five feet and seven inches. Hence the
two may be taken as illustrating the
difference of ideal physical proportions
between the ancient and thcmodcrl.

The power of endurance of the Chin

from China tells of an instance that
came under his own observation of men
voluntarily travelling forty-six miles

met with some men who after having
gone twenty-seven hours without food
and having carried heavy burden in

The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1891-02-26

Mr.. H. A. French, editor of the literary
department of the Nebraska Congregational
News. speaks as follows of our journalistic
venture: ''Among the interesting periodicals
that comes to our table is THE PRISON
MIRROR, published weekly in the Minnesota
state prison at Saltwater. It is edited and
published by the inmates. All matter pub
lished in its columns is contributed by them,
except that properly credited. Its support
comes from the outside, as every inmate is
given one without cost. The profits 20 into
the prison library. and the first year $3.50
we're realized. 1t is interesting as reflect
ing some of the phases of the inner life of
these prisons. 1t contains from time to
time good many good articles. Some of
its correspondence is interesting. Its issue
of December 10, 1890, contains letter from
one of the boys in our Nebraska prison,
which called forth reply from an inmate
Of the Bismarck prison in North Dakota.
1t has department devoted to the Chau-
tauqua circle in the prison. T. II. Leavitt,
ESQ.,, of this city, is greatly interested in
these Chautauqua circles in our prisons, and
devotes not little time and money to pro-
noting them. THE PRISON MIRROR is 81
per year."

A Foul Prison.

Warden Percy. of the state penitentiary
at Nashville. Tenn, stated under oath to
the senatorial investigating committee that
the prison cells are only three feet wide and
seven feet high and two prisoners are con-
fined in each. There is no ventilation to
these cells except what comes through three
or four small holes in the crate. ut would
be inhuman," he says. ito lock one living
creature in them. let alone two. especially
in summer. l have often found them at
night during the heated term out of bed
lying on the stone floor with their noses to
the crate holes. with their mouths wide
open. painting for breath. Many times,
though against the rule. have flung open
the doors and left them open all night At
other times [ have dragged them out of
their cells. limp and gasping for breath
from the SmOthering heat. and left them out
in the corridors until morning At no sea-
son of the year is it fit to cOnfine human be-
ings. They are cold and damp in winter,
and smOthering with hot air in summer,
and the rain pours through the roof at every
shower. 1.-THE South Dakota Mail.

in the estimate of the court to the lightest
penalty, five years. At the reformatOry it
is discovered that he is over thirty years of
age, and he is therefore transferred to the
penitentiary ian additional punishment be-
cause supposed greater disgrace) where
he MAY BE held ''fOr the full maximum
term provided by law for the crime of which
he was convicted" It does not even pro.
vide that he shall be entitled to that abate
ment of sentence allowed to penitentiary
inmates for good conduct, which in Illinois
means over eight years off of twenty. A
lawyer would probably see other defects in
this section of the bill. But as it is not
mandatory and gives the board power to re.
call any person-the over aged. the second
termer or the incorrigible-no evil would
probably result from it.

For The Mirror.
Helpful Thoughts.

And Heaven is kind to the faithful heart,
And if we are patient and brave and ca I'm,
Our fruits will last though our flowers depart.
Firmness, both in exertion and suffering
is the highest type of manhood.
If you have built castle in the air, your
work need not be lost; that is where they
should be; now put foundations under
them.
The grandest of heroic deeds are those
which are performed within four walls.
alone with self. But angels rejoice over the
victory.
There never has been great and beau
tiful character which has not become so by
filling well the ordinary and smaller offices
appointed by God.
The life of man is made up of action and
endurance; and life is fruitful in proper
ton to that which is laid out in noble action
or patient perseverance.
A good character is the best tombstone
Those who loved you. and were helped by
you. will remember you when flowers have
withered. Carve your name on hearts, not
on marble.

CONvICTs in THE UNITED STATES.
Minnesota Shows a Small Relative
Proportion to Her Population.

Minnesota Shows a Small Relative
Proportion to Her Population.
The United States census bureau has just
issued Bulletin No. 81, showing convicts in
penitentiares. From this it is seen that
only Vermont. Maine. South Dakota, New
Hampshire, Wisconsin and Iowa have as
few convicts in proportion to their popula-
ton as Minnesota. Minnesota has 332 con-
victs in the million of population. The
general ratio in the United States is 1922
cOnvicts in the million; so that Minnesota
has less than half as many cOnvicts as the
average state.
The highest ratio is found in Arizona,
which has 2.415 cOnvicts in every million of
the population; Nevada has ratio of 2. O9S.
and California comes third, with ratio of
1.698. California with population of
1000. 900 has 2,051 convicts, while Mime.
sofa with a population of 1. 800, 900 has 432
cOnvicts.
In 1880 the ratio of cOnvicts to the pOpu-
latiOn of Minnesota was 31S to the million,
in 1890 332. showing very slight increase.
In Wisconsin the ratio has increased from
3OS in 1880 to 314 in 1890; in Iowa it has
decreased from $40 in1SSO to 1876 in 1890: in
Kansas it has decreased from 800 in 1880 to
643 in 1890, and in Nebraska it has de-
creased from 566 in 1880 to 500 in 1890.
In the United States at large there has
been an apparent increase. from ratio of
700 convicts to the million inhabitants to
722. which is an increase of only Is to the
million in the past ten years.
Mr.. Frederick Wines, who is acknOwl-
edged to be the first authority in the coun-
try on all criminal statistics. considers this
increase not alarming, and believes that
crime of serious nature is rather on the
decrease in this country.-PiOneer Press.

BY the death of General Sibley many
poor and unfortunate people lose helpful,
sympathetic friend. Stationed amid the
wealthy, the learned. the honOred of earth,
he never forgot the humble whose poverty
or misfortunes made their lot uncomfort-
able. but could always find time and heart
to. give them encouragement and cheer by
pen or word or deed. Such men are few
in this world and when they are called from
the affairs of this life their absence is
truly felt What rebuke the example of
such mans life ought to be to the thou
sands who aspire to worldly greatness. but
fall short by making themselves the object
of all their sympathes.
