Puck for many weeks almost daily,
and always supply him with food after
requiring him to ask me for it in his
own language. Having but little in
terest in the white-faee, who is very
shy of men, rarely showed him the
slightest attention until within the
past few weeks, when l observed him
trying to utter the capnchin sound for
food, which always secured for Puck a
banana or some nuts. Seeing that
Puck was always rewarded for utter
ing this sound, the little white-face
began to try it, and as soon as ! dis
covered his purpose began to reward
him in the same way, and have thus
seen one step taken by monkey in the
mastery of another tongue, says
writer in the Forum. At first his eff
fort was quite poor and could not at
once decide what he meant: but prac-

as plainly as the capuchin himself

ouR PRISON SYSTEM.
a Writer in the Forum Has Many Faults
TO Find.


These well-meaning gentlemen, with
their theory that "he who is made
comfortable in prison feels imprison-
ment more deeply than he who en-
dnres severity" have brought us TO
condition where our jails are so inn
mensely oyercrowded that the greater
part OF the prisoners must be abso-
lutely idle for want of space and work.
They have panacea which Is called
the ''indeterminate sentence" This is
the plan which. Mr. spalding tells as,
SITS the sentence not TO the
crime, but 10 the character; the
character being determined, not by
sworn evidence In open court at
the time Of arrest, as 10 the circum-
stances Of the offence and the offender,
but by the prisoners obtaining "a GER
tain number OF good marks while in
prison for conduct, industry, and pro-
flcIency in study" This is the system
which removes the bread-winner from
his family for an indefinite period,
while this test of character is being
applied. We learn from the last report
that under IL the misdemeanant can.
by his own accomplishment, be released
from imprisonment in one-third the
term for which he may be held; and he

ner, effect his release ia one-fifth Of his

guilty Of homicide may effect his
release IN much less time than
a less keen young man whose
only fault is that he has on two or
three occasions over-estimated the
amount Of stimulant which he could
comfortably digest, says William y.
Anderson In the Forum. AS the prison
commissioners report that the worst
criminals are the eleyerest and best
prisoners. and that this system dis

The Almighty Dollar Bequeathed 20
Children Is an Almighty Curse.

Andrew Carnegie the millionaire
iron manufacturer, is as fond Of politi-
cal economy as of music, coaching and
other pleasures of life, and he preached
a sermon the other Sunday evening
In Fifth avenue church in New York
upon 1.-THE Gospel of Wealth." In
speaking Of the proper use OF wealth
he said: "Great wealth has hitherto
generally been held by it's possessors
and distributed after death. 1t has
chiefly gone by two modes First, to
the family. Men have toiled, even de-
MED themselves the comforts of life that
their children might inherit fortunes.
This is the worst use TO which wealth
can be pnt Such requests are usually
made with less thought of the good of
the child than the vanity of the parent;
or, when made from affection, for it is
clear that wealth bestowed upon child
rem is generally curse and not bless
ing. There are exceptions to all rules,
but not more exceptions, we think, to
this rule than TO rules generally. that
the almighty dollar bequethed 70
children is an almighty curse No
man has a right to handicap his son
with such burden as great wealth.
1t is no proper use Of wealth, then, we
hold, to bequeth il in great amounts to
children. The second mode OF disposal
is bequething il to charitable aud pub
lie institutions, which, no doubt, is a
much better use of wealth than the
first But no credit can be given
those who hoard their millions during
life, and only release their hold at the
summons which cannot be denied.
There is no grace in the gift; there is
no gift. What one cannot keep cannot
be given. From the failures which at
tend this mode of distribution we may
well assume that Providence regards ii
with no kindly eve. Most Of these
legacies fail to effect, or even reach. the
desired end. They are wasted, as a
rule, in pitiful litigation or squandered
by cliques. The gospel of wealth is
comprised in few words. Surplus
wealth is a sacred trust which its pos.

A Sad Death.

Death entered the family circle of our
friend James Potts, on last Saturday
night in the saddest manner possible
and took from it one of the brightest
and most vigorous boys it was ever our
good fortune to know. Little jim came
TO his death through an accident while
at play on Friday night just about "a
hours before his death. In running he
ran against his play fellow, a little
cousin, his head being brought in con-
tact with his play fellows chest or
stomach. The blow was so severe as to
inflict serious injury to the little fellows
spine and which caused his death on
Saturday night following about 8
O'Clock His death was not looked fer
until lust little while before it took
place. He was buried from his home ON
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, his little
corpse being followed to the grave by
large attendance Of sympathetic
friends, the Sunday school of which he
was member, attending in body.
Little Jim was only eight years old, he
had lust started TO his first school and
took lively interest in it. He was pc
culiarly bright refreshing and manly
little fellow in every regard. How in-
appropriate death seemed i'm his case,
and yet he lay in his little coffin so nat
ural and quiet as TO suggest the song
sung at his grave, asleep in Jesus,
blessed sleep" That was it, he was
asleep in Jesus. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. George w Hill,
who was here holding meeting for the
pastor, Rev. b. G. Mathews. Our heart
felt sympathy, with that Of host of
friends, goes ont TO Mr. and Mrs. Potts
