A SURVIVAL OF BARBARSM.
Loose Ends in the American System of
Criminal Punish ment.


Not long ago newspaper readers were
shocked by accounts of the treatment
of white woman prisoner in one of
the American cities. where the chain
gang system of punishment is still in
use. This woman was ordered to work
in the streets. and upon her obstinate
refusal to submit to what was even to
a convict unendura BILE degradation was
literally starved into yielding.
The incident is only a revolving illus
ration of the wro1g attaching to the
whole system of punishment by public
exposure. to shame. The street chain
gang. and the heartless leasing of con-
victs as practically slaves to mine-own
ers, ought to be. rs they are in most
parts of the country, as antiquated and
impossible as the whipping-post and
the stocks.
The governor OF Alabama has lately
pardoned thirty convicts who had be-
come helpless from rheumatism in
Cured while working in certain iron
mines where two thousand prisoners
worked under contract.
In some of these mines the gas is
poisonous: a peculiar and dreadful dis
ease of the lungs is fearfully prevalent
among the miners, and three-fourths of
those attacked die.
Measures have been taken to improve
the condition of these wretched con-
victs, but their fate is still cruel one.
Modern ideas tend more and more to
make legal restraint means of reform,
not of torture. or primarily of degrade
ton: to make the prisoner better if
possible, at least to place him under
healthful physical and moral condi-
tions: to safeguard the community,
but not TO destroy what may remain in
him of good or humane impulse by such
treatment as, it seems from these re-
ports, is still practised.-Iouth's Com

each of those articles so essential to
human comfort had to be conspicuous
ly marked on the upper leather with
tho stamp of the maker, and also that

paid was regulated by the size of the

In 1865 n tax was imposed on all pas
sengers travelling in Holland by Ian

force. In 1874 duty of five cents was
lowed upon each person who entered
n tavern before noon. Tho tax was
increased for afternoon visits. Per-

after 3 o'clock in the afternoon for the
purpose of amusing themselves had
each to pay certain sum, and those
who entered place of public enter
tainment were likewise taxed There
was duty on marriages and deaths.

The Andaman Dwarfs.

There probably never was boy or
girl who did not dream of possessing
for his or her own pleasure band of
pygmies who should do what they
were bidden like so many animated
dolls Dwarfs have been found in
Africa, but the natives of the Andaman
islands, in the Bay of Bengal, are the
smallest race of people in the world.
The average height of a full-growu
Andaman is four feet five inches, and
few weigh over seventy-siX pounds.
They are marvellously swift of foot,
and as they smear themselves over
with mixture of gil and red ochre,
present very strange appearance.
Few travellers care to encounter any
of the warlike little people, for their
skill in throwing the spear and in
using the bow is only equalled by
their readiness to attack strangers.
Altogether their traits are not
such as to make them de-
sirable additions to the play
rooms of children, since they
have been said to eat men alive. ThSv
are as black as Goals, and seem to find
it desirable to tattoo themselves This
artistic venture they usually begin
when they are years of age, using
bottlc-glass for the purpose of getting
their flesh into condition to receive
the color and retain 1t. They eat fish,
turtles and wild honey, and are rarely
satisfied with luncheon that does
not provide them with six pounds of
oatables. They 1.-Two in huts made of
