boarders complained there was mice in
the house, and he's looking for them!"
When interviewed Prof. Wilkins, he
informed me that he was a professor
Of rodentology, and l found that his
mind really had scientific turn. He
gave me some interesting facts in con-
nection with the mouse-catching BUSH
ness. One tale was of a lady who was
sued by her maid for damages because,
in her terror at discovering a mouse in
sugar basin. she had flung mouse,
sugar and basin at the girls head.
Another story illustrated the infiu-
ence of certain conditions of dreams.

1nhuman Treatment of Prisoners In the
JaiIS of Morocco.

/ 1nhuman Treatment of Prisoners In the
JaiIs of Morocco.
When the prisoner in Morocco hears
the doors of the jail close behind him.
he knows, if he be poor and without
friends, however trivial be the offense
for which he has been imprisoned, that
he may possibly not leave those walls
alive. 1t is 4 matter of Indifference to
the authorities how many are impris-
oned, for these wretched captives are
no cause OF expense to the state. The
/ prisoners have to purchase their own
| bread and water and to pay their jail
ers. Many man imprisoned for some
light debt, which he has long ago dis
charged, is still detained because he is
unable to meet the debt he has con-
tracted toward his jailers, and which
his forced captivity daily increases. q
In some prisons they are only per-
mitted to receive supply of fresh wa
ter every second day. Whatan amount
of suffering this means in an African
climate and in the fetid atmosphere of
dungeons such as those to be found in
Morocco, it is difficult for an European
to realize. In a Moorish prison tie
captives sleep half naked on the mud
floor. They are all huddled together
in one apartment, without distinction
as regards crime or innocence, for many
are simply thrown into prison on ac-
count of their reputed wealth or pros
perity by avaricious officials, who, by
prolonged Imprisonment and sometimes
by torture, hope to squeeze money out
of them or discover where they have
hidden treasure.
OF an evening it is not unusual for
the prisoners to be all bound together
by a chain passing through an iron
collar which each captive wears,
thus making it necessary for all to
rise, or sit, or lie down to-
gether. Open and uncleansed cesspools
within the prison add sometimes to the
indescribable horror and misery of the
place. There is no inspection, no med
zeal attendance, no alienation in sick
ness. If a man is i'll, and una bic TO
drag himself TO the hole in the wall
through which the bread and water is
passed, he must trust to the mercy of
his fellows to supply him with food.
Only when death overtal,es the poor
miserable wretch do the guards bestir
themselves in their own interest, and
remove the tortured body which at
length has found relief from its over
whelming sufferings Whea prisoner
is an absolute pauper and unable to
purchase food, the authorities give him
daily a small piece Of coarse bread, pro-
vided by religious endowment, suffi-
cient to prolong the agonies of starva-
tion.-Earl Of Meath, in Nineteenth
Century.

IL Is Easy 10 Make and the Children WIN
Enjoy 1t Immensely.
Children are proverbially fond of
bright things, and even the smallest
tots reach out for the colOred pictures
with evident delight. 4 room, there
fore, the walls of which are covered
with these pretty things is sure to aP-
peal TO all their hearts.
The various art magazines. the Sun
day papers and some few OF the finest
advertisement cards viii supply the
material All that you need to make
picture room out of the ordinary MUIR
sery IS q little energy and a generous
supply of that gumption attributed to
al live Yankees.
The pictures should first be sorted,
Cnd seine kind of order arranged.
Then when you have a sufficient num-
ber and have planned how to place
them 50 as TO get the best results You

work.
Each picture should be set within a
frame, so TO speak. or each should
be surrounded by a molding tackled
about the edge. The best for
the purpose IS the narrow. half-inch
width painted in a fat tone. such a
paper hangers use about the panels Of

quired. the ordinary gilt sort will an
swer; the main essential is to get some
thing unobtrusive and as plain as pos
sible.
The pictures once grouped and the
molding selected, the next step is to
make smooth, -four paste, and to cover
the entire wall with the gay, pretty
scenes! then when they are dry and
firm, To fit the molding neatly about
each one and to tack the slips in place
with long, slender brads made for the
purpose.
The one difficulty is to make the
joints of the molding neat and exact.
All the rest is simple, and only little
judgment is required to make a cOllec-
ton which will be to the children
perpetual delight.
One woman OF unusually fertile re-
sources has hit upon a plan for dispens.

Her success has been great. and her
room is in some ways better than the

/ CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE grain markets
were agItated by the government report is
sued yesterday They were feverish and
! irregular, but ended 10y being strong.
Wheat and corn are each about = cent
higher than thew closed yesterday. Pro
visions, after early weakness. aiso Closed
strong and slightly higher. Oats flushed
Is cent higher for September.
The government crop report on wheat
was considered rather beaIish at the start,
although the report on corn was extremely
! bullish and consequently lifted the price
I of that article aud Of wheat also 20 u
/ slight extent mt the start. Wheat
very soon began TO indicate by returning
weakness the opinion entertained by
the spectators of the government report
! The market settled down for consider
able time into a state of sluggish dizziness
at within ope-sixteentb cent Of the price it
closed yesterday. The primary market
receipts showed material falling off from
the recent average. but on the other hand
50 did the clearances from the Atlantic
ports.
Bradstreet's estimate of the visible sup
ply knocked the market out of the even
tenor OF its way in a downward direction
December which had opeaed at from 514
cents to 513S cents. soon fell back To
around 81 cents and 511s cents, where ii
had remained for long time, tumbled to
sos cents, when Bradsireet reported an
increase of nearly 1000, 600 bushels, east
of the Rockies. By l O'Clock December
wheat had risen to 5115 cents.
The strength 10 corn helped the market
and the close was at the top, 57114 cents, for
December. The corn market opened
strong but the first bulge was made by
flood OF selling orders which gave down
ward direction to the market that lasted
until about forty-fve minutes from the
close, then, however, 1t rose to about the
highest price made at the opening. and it
closed at an advance compared with yes
terday's closing quotation OF about y cent
per bushel The government crop report
was the the chief news which influenced
the market, but although it was not capa-
bic of any but ii very bullish impression.
there was lots of corn for sale soon as
the opening bids were made. May opened
at 564 cents, tumbled 10 as cents on
what some of the traders called bucket
shop raid. and rose again near the close to
561sM561L cents, winding up at 56G5655
cents, as against 555s cents yesterday.
Oats Were easier Ia feeling aad met with
only fair trade. The government report
was looked upon as quite favdrable TO the
bulls, but tie great influence corn has
over the oats fuctuation caused the market
to decline after opening firm. May started
at &c cents; sold off 10 3555G3535 cents; up
10 35% cents, and at noon was selling Mt
355s cents TO 357s cents. With the latter
rally in corn, oats advanced, May closing
al 36Q 366 cents.
Provisions opened firm, and declined on
heavy selling by the packers; the later
strength caused reaction and the market
closed firm. January pork finished D
cents higher; January lard, 215 cents lower
and January ribs cents higher.
