Take an absolutely impassive face, draw
the lines of the mouth upward, as in a
laugh, and the effect Is agreeable; draw
the lines downward, as In grief, and they
are most decidedly disagreeable.
Straight lines as well as curved lines
produce the effect OF solidity. durability
and support. This is a constructive ak
iom, accepted from the earliest ages. On
this principle wainscotings, doors and
mantels are built In straight and curved
lines. But IL would be manifestly wrong
to furnish mantel with ornaments whose
tops or proportions would give round
ing or straight effect unless you desire
such room to be stiff and prim.
The poplar tree, with its upshooting
branches, forming down pointing angles,
has look Of sheorfulness about 1t, while
the willow with its dropping branches,
forming up turning angles, produces quite
an opposite effect and in all countries typ

superintendent Byrnes ON Prison reform

Superintendent Byrnes ON Prissn Reform.
what do you think Of the present sys-
tenn Of punishment as preventive Of
erimei" asked reporter of Superintendent
Byrnes Of the New York police department.
II think IL osuld be greatly improved.
The turning Of a convict abruptly out on
the community penniless after term Of
confinement daxes him. He feels lost. He
is shunned. He has no fair chance to make
an honest living, and the result is relapse
into crime. think the Massachusetts, sys-
tenn Of probation Is q good one IL properly,
carefully, intelhgently carried out.
"Thsrs Is one suggestion would respect
fully make to our lawgiyers. Instead OF
keeping convict looked up in prison until
the moment of complete discharge, there
should be q system by which conviots, when
they had served half or three-quarters of
their terms, should be removed to an insti-
tuition where they would have prescribed
degree Of liberty, where they could meet
and mix with their free fellow men. This
would give them confidence, would grad
ually restore them to society and make
them vastly better fitted to begin anew
when they got their complete discharge.
Another great benefit this system would
bring is this: The partial freedom existing
only on condition of good behavior would
cultivate habit and force of self control
and perseverance in right doing, which con-
stitute the only hope of reformation there
is for criminals. 1t would, believe, be the
best Feformatory method If adopted. In
any case, it would be worth trying"

AnAntithiaf Mailhox.

Mr.. Alexander Campbell, house steward
to the Duke of Westminster, has patented
an improved letter box which is intended
to prevent the abstraction of letters, either
from pillar boxes in the streets or from
the boxes attached to the doors of houses
or offices. The box contains an upper cham
ber in which the letter is deposited and a
lower chamber into which 1t ultimately
falls. The slit for admitting letters into
the upper chamber is covered by flap,
which has to be raised in order to insert
them, and the flap is connected by levers
with the floor of the chamber In such a
manner that this Is closed while the flap
is open and falls down like a trapdoor
when the flap is shut, allowing the letter
to fall into the chamber below. As long
as the flap is open, even in small degree,
the lower chamber is completely cut off by
the floor Of the first, and no instruments
can be carried down into 1t. The amount
of money lost annually by the abstraction
of letters through the slit for inserting is
very considerable, and theinvention seems
likely, wherever 1t is adopted, to put a
stop to robberies. Times.

Saved by His wit.

A man in England was once set upon by
an infuriated rabble and was soon in dan
ger of his life. His ready wit served him
a good turn. He cried out while they were
dragging him along, IA guinea for the
man who will take my side." A fellow
near at hand, who had been cursing him,
responded with, "Here you are, sir. .
"Hit him, boys" quickly shouted the
briber; "hit him, boys. He's traitor. y
ttHurrahW yelled the mob; "let's hit
him." And for an instant they left their
prisoner loose to seize upon the victim
whom he designated. But the Instant was
enough for the first victim. He ducked
his head, got mixed in the crowd, and In
a moment had quilted the scene.--San
Francisco Argonaut.
