A Historic Calaboose.

The famous old prison known as the
Ludlow street Jail entertains differ
emit class Of prisoners than that found
ut the TomDs, says the New York Ad-
vertiser. There is not very much real
vice in Ludlow, and rarely poverty and
filth. Before Imprisonment there for
debt was abolished men went willingly
to jail to escape liabilities, and lived in
luxurious seclusion until things squared
themselves-unless they ran out OF
means to square the jailer, when lux.
uries departed and jail life became q
reality. Boss Tweed and Jacob Sharp
are two Of the most distinguished names
which have adorned the guest roll nj
the Ludlow street institution. Tweed
was finely treated, but turned migrate
and escaped from jail after only brief
period Of Incarceration. Being subse
quently captured In Spain, he returned
reluctantly and ended his days in Lud
low street.

amusing than the strange ceremony
which marks the termination of its ev-

These mysterious words have sounded
every night for centuries through the
Palace of Westminster. The perform
ance originated ut time when it was
necessary for members to go home In
parties for common protection against
the footpads who infested the streets
Of London. But, though that danger
has long since passed away, the cry of
"who goes homer" Is still heard night

A ACKNOWLEDGING Jury.

The difficulty of impanelling jury
In the early courts of Wisconsin may
be seen from an incident related In
"The Bench and Bar of Wisconsin"
Judge Irwin was on the bench, and a
murder trial was pending. G. L. Long,
Familiarity known as Lucy" Long, was
undersheriff. There was difficulty In
getting jury which knew nothing
about the facts of the case. The reg
ular panel had been exhausted, and a
special venire had been issued, and was
finally returned.
"Well, Mr.. Long" asked the judge,
'have you at last secured a sufficient
number of jurymen who know nothing
about this case?
"Yes, sir" replied the polite offlcer.
"Slx of them know nothing about this
case, and the other six know nothing
ut all"

certainly something in its favor. An
other is the comparatively small ex-
pense connected with the laying of
tracks on any road on which 1t may be
worked.
Instead Of deep excavation requir-
Ing to be made, as In the case Of road
worked by cable or an underground
electric road, number Of "studs" are
inserted In the ground at certain dis
tances along the track. Each car is
fitted with a "shoe" extending the en-
tire length of the car bottom, and also
with small but powerful storage bat
terry. The battery supplies the cleo
tricity to the shoe, the shoe to the studs
as 1t passes over them, and by this
means the car Is propelled forward or
backward, as the motorman wishes.
The studs are placed two abreast in the
road or street. and no two sets Of studs
are further apart than the length of a
car. These studs are perfectly harm
less until the shoe touches them; then
they receive the full force of the genera.
tor from the shoe.

drawn to his personal appearance by
the fact that he wore his thick hair
brushed down over his forehead to his
very eyebrows. When he was asked
by the commissioner the reason for this
extraordinary couture, the French
youth looked embarrassed for a mo-
ment, and then replied that he wore his
hair in this manner to hide mark on
his brow.
"What is the markY' was asked. He
tossed his hair back and exhibited a

few "don'ts' said to be handy have
been compiled. 1t is suggested these
"don'ts" be put in a neat frame and
hung where the queens of the kitchen
can see them not less than zoe times a
day. Here is the list.
Don't get careless.
Don't expose gasoline In a room
where there is any kind of open fire.
Don't stand by lighted lamp when
you clean your gloves with gasoline.
You may not be able to wear the gloves
short Of two months.
Don't put the tank on the stove when
you fill it. The tank will be found
afterwards, but 1t Is doubtful IL you
will be.
Don't fill the tank when the burners
are lit. 1t has been tried often with in
different results.
Don't try to operate the stove If you
don't thoroughly understand it. They
can send a man from the hardware
store cheaper than from the undertake
er's shop.
Don't be in hurry with gasoline. 1t
is several hundred times quicker than
you are, anyhow.
Don't light the burners after tho
pipes have leaked over everything. A
flame six feet wide Is not handy to
cook with.
Don't use your gasoline stove after
1t is old and leaky. New stoves cost
money. So do collins.

pensation Of Providence to protect you
from the consequences Of a careless act.
