The story that the Governor of Ken
lucky has pardoned a life convict on
condition that she get married at once
must again call from every thoughtful
mind query as TO how long the South

human punishments of criminals

THE MIRROR, printed in the peni-
Tertiary at Saltwater, Minnesota, al
ways good and interesting, was espe-
cially so last week. Reformation of
the Criminal Classes" by Superintend-
ent w. E. Lee, of the St. Cloud Re-
formatory, and report of the State
Conference of Charities and Correc-
tiOns for Minnesota, were the leading
features of the issue of THE MIRROR
alluded to.-South Dakota Mail.

who possibly came from Scotland,
would reach one of their far northern
posts and find that the word found
had very elastic meaning. For food
he was either shown sack of pemmi-

shown rabbit track. Minneapolis

There is one exchange that comes to
our desk, and it is among the very
best, that doesn't bear the editors
name at its head-it is THE PRISON
MIRROR-and yet, if there is an editor
in the state that deserves credit for
good Christian thoughts it is THE MIR
ROR's editor. Such talent was never
intended to be surrounded by four
prison walls, yet it is not wasted, but
turns out to the inmates each week a
heaping measure of bright ideas and
good advice that would help mankind
in or out of prison.-Wheaton Foot

IT you see anything in paper you
don't like, don't be foolish enough to get
up on your hind legs and go believing
about like mad bull and imagine it is
for you. If the shoe don't tit don't put
it on, and if it does keep still the peo-
pie will generally think more OF you for
it. Also remember that, other people
have opinions and have just as good a
right to them as you have. At times a
paper may be at fault, but remember
you have your failings as we'll. Have
charity for the feelings of others,
whether religious, political or otherwise;
they may be right and you wrong

The man or woman, says DR.. b. Ward
Richardson, who trains himself in the
best bodily health makes the best of
life. Bodily welfare is important, not
for itself only, but because the health
of the mind so largely depends on the
health of the body. A good engine
Outlives many of its masters because
they attend to it more carefully than
they attend to their own bodies. The
usual relations of the age of maturity
to length of life, indicating ratio of
one to five, suggests that man taking
twenty one years to mature should live
1O5 years. The fact that such life is
exceptionally attained shows its pos
sibility: and it is owing to errors that
it is not more widely attained in
the human species. Science

Every column of the Times contains
about twenty thousand pieces Of metal
the displacement of one of which makes
a typographical error. And yet there
are people in this town who think il
strange when they find an error in it
typographical or otherwise. When
they see a word spelled wrong they are
sure they could have spelled it right
andnothing gives them greater pleasure
than to go around and tell their neigh
bors and friends what an ignoramus the
editor is. These errors are made to give
such people happiness. No intelligent
editor printer could possibly misplace
one of these 10000 pieces of metal, but
his mission is to make other people
happy, even if it makes him miserable
so he deliberately makes blunders ant
brings JOY to the hearts of some who
could find pleasure in no other way
