out that to remove any more hair from a

Here is an entertaining story about a
Frenchman who was too proud to do
things which were against his principles.
says Harpers Round Table. The story is
vouched for as an actual fact by the man
to whom the incident happened While
travelling in Europe he stopped overnight
at Caen, and noting that his hair was
unduly long he went to have it cut by
the local barber He told the barber TO
take off very little. but before the scis-
sors had been at work many seconds he
noticed a favorite lock fall on to the cal
leo jacket in which he had been arrayed.
WhereupOn he reproved the barber for
not following his instructions, upon which
the man observed. in mingled tones of
reproach and dismay:
Monsieur must permit me to do nv
work in the way which seems best 20
me; and what is more, l shall take off
some more"
Not at ALL said the traveller; "I tell
you I want very little taken off, and must
insist upon your doing al [ direct YOU.
The barber however, was not to be put
down in this way, and said: Monsieur.
1t is possible that this is how things NAV
be done in England, but here in France
we are not slaves. l shall cut off as much
as / please"

cipation of the housewives or

school, The proposed curriculum en-
braces cooking. serving, general house

From the New orleans Picayune Dem)

The doctrine is being put forward that
there is no limit to the jurisdiction OF
the United States courts, and the army
in time of peace is nothing more than
posse TO execute the mandates of the
court Backed by a large and influential
body of the population, such a doctrine
will grow rapidly, and it will become
available for SO many interests that the
states will finally be stripped of all auto
Monty. and become mere geographical di-
visions of a centralized Imperialism. The
progress in that direction is already very

4 few days ago the governor Of New
York granted respite 20 Buchanan. the

appealing tears Of the murderer's wife.
There is now a movement on
foot in this state 10 secure
the pardon Of bank robber
who is serving time in the penitenuary

robust. and he was formerly a prominent

movement TO secure the pardon o. no
torious swindler who posed before his vic
tins as a British lord. on the ground
that he is not enjoying as good health as
he might If he were out of the peniten-
tiary. and that he has been sufficiently
punished. What the result Of these con-
templated appeals for executive clemency
will be cannot. Of course. be foretold. But
is not this poor time for the exercise

The news dispatches almost every day
contain items which. apparently. 80 to
show that there is an epidemic Of dis
honesty sweeping over the country. and
that many bank officers and others highly
trusted by their acquaintances and asso-
ciates. are unfaithful to the trust reposed
in them. There can be no doubt that the
best remedy for arresting the epidemic is
the prompt and severe punishment OF those
who break the laws. Several of the states
have taken the pardoning power out of
the hands Of the governor. in order to re-
move him from the disagreeable situa-
tons that frequently arise when the tears
and prayers of women are brought to bear
In behalf of criminals and result in the
criminals escaping the punishment they
deserve. The Massachusetts legislature
has now before It a bill, the purpose of
which is the fixing of a system Of indie
terminate sentences to state prison. under
which the merits Of the convicts, and not
the sentimentality Of the pardoning pow
err, may lessen the punishment The bill
directs that the court shall establish a
maximum and a minimum term for which
criminal may be held, the former not to
exceed the longest term fixed by law for
the offense, and the latter not less than
two and one-half years. The convict can
not be released until the short term is
served. After that, however, the commits
sicneTs of prisons may issue a permit lib
Grating him on such terms as they may
impose, the terms being based on the
prisoners conduct and general merit The
permit may be revoked at any time before
the expiration Of the long term When
such permit is revoked the holder is re-
turned to prison, to be kept there accord
ing to the terms of the original sentence
II will be observed that the fun minimum
sentence must be served in all cases before
the convict can be released If, within
that time. it transpires that there are
circumstances which should reduce the
punishment, the prisoner receives the bene-
fit of them. The system appears to be
more just than one under which a convict
with a pull can get a pardon at almost
any time. In South Carolina recently
there have been men sentenced to prison
who were granted fun and free pardons
before they saw the inside of the prison
doors.
