OHAUTAUQUA.
CHAUTAUQUA.

Every society or organization has its cOnSttr-
ton and bylaws to govern its actions. The C. l..
S. c. has its laws. and the managers are men of
talent and good judgment. The studies they
outline for the different societies each year are
selected with great care. for they have many ed
ucated minds to please. If they should drift
away from their rules and regulations they would
fail in their object.
The Pieran circle has its bylaws as other cir
cles have, and they must be Obeyed or we perish
When we break away from the centre or magnet
of the circle, we lose the benefits that are to be
derived from the studies. We meet every alter
nate Sunday to discuss and report on the great
studies that are outlined for us by wise and
thoughtful men. So let us. as ChautauquanS,
keep to our text books, and let our reports be
made out on some portion of the current studies.
Let our quotations be brief and solid and from
some standard author if possible. Let us live up
to the bylaws that are laid down for our guild
ance to the letter. and in the end we will come
out with high hOnOrS. If we do not we will drift
away to that which is foreign to our purpose and
fail, If we do our best to improve our minds
while members of the circle, in after years we
may look back with pleasure to the time we spent
here as members of the c. l.. S. C. SO let's be
Chautauquans in spirit as well as in name; then
the Pierian circle will be guiding star to those
who are to follow us. SEC

1.-The cells in the English prisons"
says Mr.. Fay, ARE constructed on quite
different principles from ours. They
are much larger, and rooted with brick
arch, and are well lighted and venti-
lated The light comes from a window
seven or eight feet from the floor, which
is three feet wide by thirteen inches
high;
"The doors are solid and are about
two inches thick, instead of being graf
ed like ours; so that one who walks
along the corridor outside can only
view the interior of the cell by moving
a slide, and looking through small
peep-hole.''
The English prisons are far more
strictly guarded from the intrusion of
the public than our own. 1t is hard for
anyone, who has not some special bust
ness in them, to gain admittance. So
stringent, indeed, is this rule, that even
the governor of the male department
of a prison is not allowed to put foot in
the female department of his own in
stitutiOn.
Over all the English prisons single

English Prisons.

An interesting and instructive de-
scription of the English prisons, as they
are to-day, has been given by Mr.. c. K
Fay, an American, who has recently
visited them, and has been officially
connected with our own prison system
According to this authority, not only
do better methods prevail in English
prisons than formerly, but crime in
England has been gradually decreasing
in recent years. English prisons are
divided into two kinds convict pris-
ons" and local PRISONS Convict
prisons are used for combining persons
who have been sentenced to term of
five years or more; local prisons for
those whose sentence is shorter. Of
convict prisons there are now ten in
Great Britain, and of local prisons,
fifty-five.
In all these places there are two feat
ureS which do not exist in the Amer
lean prisons. These are the tread-mill
and the fiOgging of prisoners.
The tread-mill is curious surviving
relic of old fashioned English methods
of prison discipline. "The large wheels
of the tread-mill," says our authority.
care surrounded by wooden steps
running the length of the wheel. The
men are separated from each other by
partitions, and each one catches hold
of horizontal bar, and continues a
slow tread from one step to another:
all, OF course, stepping together, and, as
1t were, Kicking away the steps from
under their feet
BY this process wheat is made into
flour. which in due time is baked into
bread which is used in the prisons.
FlOgging is reSOrted to in the English
prisons when it forms part of the SEN
tence OF the judge, or when it is applied
TO prisoner who has proven obstinate,
or who has tiagrantly disobeyed the
prison rules.
The crimes for which men are usually
sentenced to be logged, as well as con-
fined, are assaults upon an officer while
in discharge of his duty, and robbery
with personal violence committed by
garroters or highwaymen). Such Grim
lnalS receive from twenty to fifty
lashes, half at the beginning and half
at the end of the term of Imprisonment.
A careful account is kept of the pris-
oner's conduct and industry through
out his term. For the first nine months
of his imprisonment he is kept in soil
tary confinement, working by himself,
and not allowed to speak to anyone.
After that he works with his fellow
prisoners, and, under certain restric-
tions, is permitted to talk and associate
with them.
If the prisoner gets two hundred and
twenty-four good marks month for
two years, he is placed in what is called
