Do Men Like Prison Life9

think, said a detective the other
day, there must be fascination about
life in Jail, for certain men who have
been in there for little while seem to
leave it with regret, and do not lose
their interest in what goes on in prison
for some time after they are released.
Again and again have noticed men
who have been confined for few
months come back every day after their
release and stand at the door, looking in.
They had no friends in there, unless
they made friends among the other
prisoners, and they did not speak or
wish to speak to any one. They leaned
against the grated door and looked in,
as if they wanted to come back.
Ireally think some of them become
attached to the life, and one reason is
that unless they are men of gentle feel
ings they do not feel the shame of their
position as long as they are inside, but
when they come out and meet other men
they know they have the Jail stain on
them, and they imagine every one sees it.
Ihave often watched them standing
there by the door, and wondered what
feeling it was that drew them back

A Tow Horse That Knows Something.

A Tow Horse That Knows Something.
A Washington driver says that there
is an old gray hill horse there that some
times cannot get back to his accustomed
place at the foot of the hill in time for
the next car. This horse has nothing to
do with the blue line, and knows the
difference between the blue and the
brown cars. If he is ON his way back
to the starting point and sees brown
car coming, this shrewd animal will
turn around and stand alongside the
track waiting for the car to reach him.
No amount of coaxing can induce him
to move, but after the car reaches him
he will ''pull like a major" until he
reaches the top. Then he returns to his
post, and when he again sees his car
coming turns and gets into position.
A day or two ago the hill boy, instead
Of walking back with the horse or rid
ing him, as was his usual custom,
jumped on car and rode down. The
horse saw this and stopped half way up
the hill and would not move until the
boy came after him. Whenever the boy
rides on the car the horse stops half way
down the hill, but when the boy remains
with him the old gray pursues the even
tenor Of his way until he reaches the
bottom.-Our Animal Friends.

why Army Pepper Was So Poor.


There is an old weather beaten shed
that stands on the brookside, near the
road leading from the West Shore rail-
road station at Highland up to the vii
lage, in which two men during the re-
bellion made a snug little fortune.
The building is in the shadow of over
hanging boughs and directly behind a
mill that stands at the point where an
other road leads up hillside and to
the Bellevue villa.
I was driving by there a few days
ago when the driver of the vehicle, in
which I was the solitary passenger,
turned around to me, and indicating
with his whip exclaimed:
"D'ye see that little buildin?'
"Yes; what of it?"
"Waal, b'gosh, dye know two fellers
made nigh on FORUM in there during
the war times, 'pon my word?'
Making counterfeits, eh?"
"Counterfeits? Nav; bettern that.
1t was the darndest thing y ever heard
of, that business stroke was. I'll tell "
it. You know there's lots O. slate in
those hills-piles of it-and it breaks to
pieces almost when y look at it.
"Those two fellers just looked at that
slate and then started to thinkin. They
talked over what they thought and the
next thing people hereabouts knew was
that grindstones was bein hauled into
that buildin.
"Then load after load of slate was
hauled and dumped in the buildin, and
the next thing the people knew there
was rollin of them grindstones and
piles of powdered slate were carried out
and put in wagons and carted off.
people wondered what was goin on,
and if they asked, the two men just
smiled and replied, 'Nothin,' or else ex-
planned how the powdered slate was
bein used all over for soft fillin for
teeth.
"But the thing leaked out after awhile.
Them two fellers were grindin that slate
and shippin it away to be mixed in the
pepper that was supplied to the army.
B'gosh, they made a fortune apiece.
''Say, I wonder how many of the e.

A Poek., Beneath tho Gown.

A most comforta bic arrangement for
the woman who wears the sheaf skirt is
that of having fat pocket Of good size
made OF the same material as the dress,
and tied round the waist by strings. In
the seam OF the dress skirt or beneath
the pleats in the back Is concealed the
opening. Just long enough to allow the
entrance OF the hand. II is by no means
new idea, for our mothers or grand
mothers wore fiat linen pockets beneath

The Race is Not Deteriorating-The Value

In the preparatory school OF a large
women's college, which is attended by
many girls from all parts OF the United

~ wish that the girls here who are
taller than their mothers would please
raise their hands"
About hree-fourths OF all the girls pres

OF the pupils was about seventeen years,
though some were not more than fifteen
and In some cases these girls had not YET
completed their growth; and yet a consid.
cradle majority OF all were larger than
their mothers.
The majority. too. were vigorous and

Within the memory OF the older gener.

women TO be delicate, slender wasted,
pale and incapable Of much physical exer-
tiop. Bodily robustness was discouraged,
and such oalisthenics" as we're in vogue
were Of very weak and flmsy sort.
All this reacted upon the general ply
steal condition OF women, and rendered
them less vigorous and we'll grown.
At the present time there are many
foolish fashions no doubt. but it is no

This Is certainly one OF the respects in

not only make the women of the rising
generation superior TO their mothers In

Nor need IL render them less gentle and

better basis for gentleness and unseliish-
