A Prison Paper.

The following is taken from the
Prison Mirror, published by the con-
viots in the Minnesota State Prison
at Saltwater:
"As tho shades of night close out
the day, thers comes floating through
the prison halls the mslodious sound
OF distant bells. How sweet, how sad
the gentle tones to the imprisoned
sinner none but he can tell. They
are voices from another world he
dearly loves; the world OF his child
hood. Alone in his cell he sits in
reverential silence as the spirit bells
repeat the hallowed story of tho long
dead days that are dearer to him th an
any that genius ever tells for the
pleasure OF man. IA the sweet, the
mellowness steals into his heart, and
NO matter what he may have been he
is now gentle being. PERI APPS he ia
once more a cLild trudging along by
his mothers side through the evening
twilight to the village church. What
ever the recollections revived they
are pure and good and from which he
will turn with a grateful sigh. Oh,
but could the heart be held Forever
by the spell OF the bells, sweet hurch

Wants Relief.

1t is understood that the Adjutant
General is preparing q relief bill to
present to the coming session Of the
Legislature, necessitsted by the
exhaustive drain the Office has had
upon his time and tho personal ex-
pense he has found it necessary to
incur in the discharge of the duties
thereof. AS the Office of Adjutant
General is very important one to
the standing ormy OF tho State of Ne
Vada, it is only meet and proper that
the Legislature should give careful
and I solemn consideration to the
aforesaid relief bill ere it be consigned
to that bourne from which it lie hoped
that hereafter in Nevada no relief
bill OF State officer for the discharge
OF his duty will ever Ereturn.-[Reno

The Adjutant.Gen has an i'm
mense (H) amount of work to do in
the different positions in which he ia
called upon to labor and it 10 a great
wonder that his constitution has not
broken down under the strain. Still
there will he other Adjutant- G Generals
to come and it might be we'll for the
Legislature to do as the Journal sug-
gests. Lieutenant Governor, Libra
rian, Adjutant. General Poujade can
afford to stand an "exhaustiye drain
on bis time for s2,7Oo a year. That's
what he's there for.

PEARY PLANNED WELL
Tho Only Arctic Explorer Who Know
What Lo Was About.

What Ho Was About.
Sightseeing visitors to the white
house are usually met ut the entrance
by straight, stalwart, handsome man,
who courteously directs them to the
east room, says the Washington Post.
He is Officer John Kenny, and the his
tory Of his experiences would make the
most interesting reading Imaginable
Mr.. Kenny was sergeant in the
Seventh cavalry some years ago, and
was the first man to'volunteer his serv-
ices as member of the Greedy relief
expedition, which was to start on a
perilous voyage into the North seas in
search of Lieut.. Greedy and his men.
The terrible experience of that expedi-
ton is well known. Some one asked
him the other day what he thought of
the Peary expedition. His eyes lighted
up with enthusiasm.
Lieut.. Peary is the only explorer
who has gone into the northern ice
who knew exactly what he was going
to do. I confess didn't think he would
be successful, because I never thought
he could reach the top of the ice-cap,
but he had his plans laid all right and
knew what he was about and COM
Pleted his work nobly. People who
have never seen that ice cap cannot i'm
/ agine what an awful obstacle it is to
surmount. 1t looks as if IN enormous
piece of the earth's surface had just
| been turned up and stood on end and
kept there. Words cannot describe it,
and man can climb all day and then
IN the evening lean over and drop a bis
cult into the very camp he left hours
before. Peary went ut it in n business
like way, and after he reached the ice
pack beyond he had a comparatively
easy time. Yes, sir, in my opinion he
Is the only Arctic explorer who ever
showed he knew anything about his
work."

Hummins Birds Small But p,ucls,

Notwithstanding their diminutive
size, pugnacity is one of the most con.
sPicuous traits of humming birds. Even
kingbirds and the boldcst hawks are
afraid of them, being compelled to re-
treat before the impetuous assaults of
the tiny warrior, whose boldness is only
equaled by the lightning rapidity
OF his movements, thus battling any Mt
tempt at resistance on the part of the
more powerful adversary. The lance
like thrust of the needle-lilse beale is
usually directed at the eyes of the enc
my. When two or more individuals of
either sex happen near the same spot,
spirited and often violent conflicts are
almost certain to ensue.

A Bird OF Evil Omen,

The pigeon is considered to be essen
tally bird of death, says the Fancier's
Journal. Thus if white pigeon set
ties on a chimney some one of the occu-
pants of the house will pass away ere
long, but should the bird enter and
perch upon the table it is considered a
less portentous omen and to testify sick
ness. There is n widespread belief
through England that no one can die
happily on q bed in which there is
even single pigeons feather. There
Is similar superstition about par
fridge feathers and there is an old say
ing that he who is sprinkled with
pigeons blood will never die a natural
death.
