WALLS THAT SPEAK.
Sentiments Scrubbed by Prisoners While
 Awaiting Trial in Court Pens.

Sentiments soribb.ed by Prisoners While
 Awaiting Trial in Court Pens.
 It is not an uninteresting story that the four walls of the three prisoners pens in the court of general sessions tell The story is of faith, hope, dis content, pessimism, utter disgust and anything else you will. Fresh chap ters are being added every day.
 Day after day the three pens are filled with wretched individuals, who await the calling of their names to be arraigned for pleading to or trial on in- dietments that charge anything from the theft of ten cents to the crime of murder.
 Betines the prisoners thrust their faces, one at time, against little square aperture to peer into the court room to see how the unfortunate fares who little while before was called from their midst. It is during these intervals that the chapters of the penis story are written.
 The question:: What do the prison CTS do in the box while they are wait ing to be tried or sentenced?" was an- swered by the four walls. They were covered with scribbling.
 One of the faverite pastimes evident ly is that of name writing. Autographs abound by the hundreds. Here and there are faces or caricatures.
 Whether or not 'one. year in the pen. meaning the penitentiary, is written before or after sentence has been pronounced I am unable to say. At any rate you will find that legend scorces of times in connection with as many different names. It may tell of prisoners expectation in the way of sentence The writer may have guessed right or wrong.
 One fellow who must be bit of a wag scribbled ''There is more honest men in the state prison than is on the police force" What led him to co1ae to such a conclusion no one will ever know
 At some time or other the pen con tained an individual who had either studied well or been told much and re- membered it. He dropped into classic l al quotations. In one place he wrote, '"The first thing we do let's kill all the lawyers" but failed to say the words were taken from the play Henry ""
 Presumably in the same handwriting and little removed from the above he again wrote, this time from Gold smiths Traveller" but without giv- ing the author his due. sLaws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law" Socialistic, truly.
 His third attempt showed the same train of thought, although he did misquote Bacon tin this wise:-s'L Laws are like cobwebs, where the small flies are caught and the great break through" This fellow must have been thrown in with petty lot of culprits the day he wrote, judging by his last quotation, while his mind ran to some individual who had plundered bank and then rid himself of the laws meshes.
 So the lead pencil fills in spare time and waiting moments in those little coops. Justice may hold the scales al one end of the courtroom, but at the other prisoners hold their opinions be yond doubt.-N. Y. Herald.

or flowers of sulphur and milk. This treatment, if preserved with. will not fail to have the desired effect, but it must be continued. A thick paste made of oatmeal prepared and hot water and rubbed on the arms night and morning is an excellent thing for making the arms soft and white, also lemon juice, but all skins will not bear this
 Hairy arms are very nnsightly and a great trouble to dark girls. No singe- ing or cutting will doany good, for the hair will grow again, even thicker and longer than before The only remedy for this, xcept, of course, the use of tweezers, which is most painful oper- ation. is to rub the parts affected with preparation of peroxide of hydrogen. This will tighten the hair and if used frequently will malse them so brittle that they can be brushed away in a great measure. N. Y. Advertiser.

suRNAMEs IN IRELAND.
Celtic Patronymics Becoming Anglicized

Celtic Patronymics Becoming Anglicized
 Through Dropping the Me and O.
 Blue books are not invariably com piled in such a way as to blend the utile with the dulce, but agreeable ex- captions occasionally occur, and under this category must be placed the report prepared by Mir. R. E. Matheson, the assistant registrar-general for Ireland, on ssurnames in Ireland,' in which 8 series of lists Illustrative of the nu,ner- Ieal strength of the principal surnames is supplemented with great deal of interesting information as to their derivation, ethnology and distribution.
 There has been some talk of late about the extensive Anglicizing of Irish names, and hence it will rejoice the hearts of all true patriots to learn that Murphy, Kelly and Sullivan are still by far the most prevalent patronymics, the ubiquitous Smith-whieh leads the van both in England and Scotland only coming fifth in the test. It is also reassuring to lerrn that the great bulk of the most common names 1 In the country are undoubtedly of Celtic origin, and that many of them still retain the prefxes "O' and Mac though the reprehensible fashion of dropping these honorable emblems of nationality has even af- fected the patriots themselves, MT. Davitt. for example, being a scion of the ancient Celtic family till recently | known as MacDavett.
 The Anglo-Norman and English names constitute the largest propor- ton of the residue; but a good many surnames still in use are traceable to Danish origin, while the Welsh ilnmi- grafton is represented by the common occurrence of the name Walsh in every county in Ireland.
 One significant point may be men, tioned before we conclude our hastY survey of a most instructive report. The number of persons resident in Ireland at the time Of the census, but born elsewhere, has increased from | thirty-fve thousand in 1S41 to up wards of one hundred and twenty thousand in 1891. although the total population has decreased by almost one-half In these circumstances the progressize -nglicizing of Irish names need excite no surprise. = London Graphic.

Milking Reindeer.

The process of milking herd of rein deer IS singular. and we have often watched it with interest, especially when, after long tramp across the fields. we looked forward to a share of it ourselves. Attended by the sharp nosed Lapiand dogs, the herd appears, its memb bers packed closely together an1 forming compact mass, in which the aorns are prominent feature. As they approach nearer one hears grunting exactly like swine, and cu- rious cracking sound, produced by the contact of innumerable horns and limbs. They arc then driven into an inclosure, each animal is lassoed in it's turn over the horns and dragged up to an erection in the middle, where it is milked The quantity afforded by eacl is only about as much as would fill 2 l claret glass. but the milk is extremely rich and nourishing Blackwood'a Magazine,

Guarding the Bank,

The Bank of England is watched nightly by guard of about fifty men from the Household troops, under the command of an officer, who usually march from Wellington or St. Georges barracks. They patrol the spacious quadrangles of the bank and do sentry duty over allotted spaces till the morn ing, when they are relieved on the ar rival Of some members of the bank's staff. The officer in command is al- lowed dinner for himself and friend, including the provision of bottle of the banks special old port. The men are also supplied with the needful re- lection. Besides this military guard, two clerks remain on duty all night at the bank, as we'll as all day on Sunday, and these watch clerks must not go to sleep Their duty Is to move about from building to building inspecting the various rooms, to see that all goes well. Several of the higher officials also sleep on the premises. ready to be summoned at moments notice. = Chambers Journal.

THE ARM BEAUTIFUL.

How to Make the Arm Plump and White
 There is, perhaps, nothing more beautiful than a womans white, shapely arm; the upper part plump and firm, the elbow soft and dimpled, the lower arm swelling in gentle gradation, allowing the free develop ment of muscles, etc, and then taper ing down to the slender wrist This, of course, is perfection of form, and we have not all beautiful arms, but girls can by careful and persevering treat ment do a great deal toward supple menting the deficiencies of nature. Dumb bell and calisthenic exercise is the making of shapely pair of arms. A little of this excellent practice, even for ten minutes night and mora ing, will aid materially in making the arn round and firm. Girls should never lean on the table with their elbows. Nothing is so bad for the arms as this It entirely spells the elbow, making it hard, the skin red and coarse, and often very sore.
 I have seen arms, otherwise perfect, entirely spoiled by this blemish, and it is a habit to be avoided by girls who wish to have nice, white, dimpled elbows. The greatest trouble from which the arm suffers is rough red ness at the back. just above the elbow. A good remedy for this, before going to bed, is to get some very hot water, a cake of unscented soap and a good rough towel. Make a thick father with the soap and water and regularly scrub the arms with the loafah. Dc not mind the smarting, but persevere and after ten minutes hard rubbing bathe them in the not water and dry l with a coarse bath towel Aftel well dryipg them rub on some vasslius

BETWEEN TWO FIRES.

Although the Police Commissioners
are trying others ana not being tried
themselves. they are IN pretty bad
way. on one side they are suspected
OF engaging In withdrawing opera
ton IL they find the men under charges
before them innocent. on the other
side they are accused of sacrificing
others to save themselves II they tnd
them guilty.
There is only one course to pursue in
these matters. The officers and men
OF the police force charged with Of
lenses which. IL sustained. prove them
unfit TO lie continued on the force,
ought to be tried by the authorities
whose duty ii Ia to try them and who
have the power to remove them. Any
other investigation leads TO no imme-
date and practical reform and does not
give the public the protection needed.
If the evidence shows the accused to
be guilty. it is entirely proper that
they should be at once removed from
the force.
one fact seems TO be overlooked.
The trial court. the Police Board, Is
now evenly divided. 1t consists Of two
old Tammany Commissioners and two
new Republican Commissioners. 1t Is
OF course impossible to believe that
Commissioners Murray and kerwln
can have any interest In pro.
tecting' the Police Commits sioners,
and no verdict against the ac-
cused police officers can be obtained
without their concurrence. IT Is, there
fore ridiculous to claim that the men
on trial before the Board are "sacri-
