use their feet as we'll as their hands in
their work, and the coopers hold the tubs

This is the old japanese penitentiary.
Toxic is now building one of the finest
prisons In the world. II is about five miles
outside of the capital. 1t is great brick
structure, covering many acres, and fitted
out with all the latest prison appliances.
The work is being done by the japanese
prisoners, and the architect is japanese.
L saw the men at their work. They had
built scaffold from the ground up TO the
top of the walls, and this, strange to say,
was OF poles tied together with ropes, and
the men carried the bricks up on poles over
their shoulders. In one place l saw them
driving poles. and they had made a great
scaffolding of poles which ran fifty feet
above the ground, and In the center of this
an immense beam was put in perpendic-
ular position. To the bottom of this beam
ropes were tied. and score of men stood
on platform near the top of the scaiTold-
ing, and by these ropes raised the heavy
beam high in the air, and then let it fall
down on the pile which was being driven
into the earth. They sang as they worked
and at the end of each line the beam was
dropped.
The prisoners have built a large part OF
this new penitentiary. and though the

actual expense of keeping ana boarding a

Japan, and this mush takes its place. The
Japanese are not AS great eaters as we are,

Now we will let Alice tell her story as
