rNGLAND'S PRISON SYSTEM
Condemned by the Report of tho
!. Royal Commission.
Great Britain's Method of Dealing with
Criminals the Worst Of Any Civil
ICED Natton-The Discipline
Absolutely Merciless.

New York. May IA dispatch from
London says: The report of the royal
commission that for sonle time past has
been engaged in an investigation of the
english prison system will be laid on
the table of the house of commons
early next week. About three years ago
am official of the United States govern
ment was designated to visit the lead
ing countries of Europe and report upon
their prison systems. Every facility
was afforded him in the countries Wis
tied, and in his report he declared that
the English system was the Very worst
the most brutal, the least intelligent,
and the least influenced by modern So
GEOLOGY. This indictment from across
the water is more than borne out by the
report of the commission. From the
great mass of evidence laid before 1T,
and which was largely collected by
Michael Davitt. the noted Irish leader,
the commission comes to the conclusion
that the English prison system is cen
tralized and infexible; that it's disci-
pine is wholly military and absolutely
merciless: that it maintains a silent
method of punishment utterly con-
demned by experts all over the world;
h a it discourages any kind of useful
labor or any real moral reform; thai 1t
starves both body and mind; that it
actually manufactures criminals and
encourages them in further c~rilninality;
that it blasts the life of the juvenile
offender, and plunges him more deeply
into crime: and that 1T permits no ade-
Quate system of inspection except by
the very men responsible for the sys-

Goes Naked ON the Desert.

Up in Bear Valley two summers ago
I came across a camp where n thin
bearded, bronzed man Of about so was
cutting wood Lefore a small "A" tent.
In the tent were many scientific works,
including Il set of Encyclopedia Britain
MICA. Engaging him in conversation. l
found he was q prospector who had
come in from the desert to let his burros
rest and fatten on the grass. He had
come down from Pahrumph Valley
ACROSS the burning desert in the hottest
part of the summer.
Il stopped at Vanderbilt" said he,
land made several locations, one Of
which | think will prove valuable, but I
got tired aud moved on, and am now

/ asked him how he liked the dessert.
and he replied that he liked it better
than any other place. "See," said he,
as he flung open the front of his shirt,
II wear no clothing when on the desert" "
His breast was a deep copper color,
even to his armpits, and fully bore Out
his statement. His conversation pro.
claimed him to be an educated man,
and he said his books were n part of his
camp outfit. and accompanied him wher.
aver he went. He volunteered no other
information regarding himself, and his
bearing was such as to preclude any
questioning. but l have often wondered
what could have caused him 10 choose
such u mode of life. OF one thing I ar
sure; he will follow no other--Lo.

REBATE TAX CASE SETTLED
South Dakota Supreme Court
Makes an Important Ruling.
the Decision OF the Lower Cour'
In the Case OF the American
Investment Company vs..
D.. Il. Thaycr.

Pierre. s. d., May 1.-THE supreme
court has handed down several opin-
.ons, among them one dealing with the
rebate of taxes on lands Cancelled by
the government after taxes had been
paid for several years. The title OF the
case is American Investment company
Of Emmet;sburg, Ia. VS. d.. IL. nays
treasurer of Hyde county.
Suit was brought in the circuit u
by the investment company for a man
aamus compelling the county treasurer
to rebate taxes paid and money on tax
certificates issued on sale of land for
delinquent taxes. The was proven
up in 1884 by n Hoggatt, and in 1883
was purchased by the investment COM
pany for delinquent taxes, and in 1890
the entry was Cancelled by the govern
ment. The suit was brought to recover
under an act of 1898, and the lower
court held that the law passed in that
year is not retroactive and could moi
apply to a case of prior date, and re-
fused to issue The m%andamus. The in
vestment company appealed and the
supreme court affirmed the order of the
lower court. This question has been a
long disputed one In South Dakota. and

which the plaintiff alleged TO be unlaw.

preventing thhm from securing ii new
loan by clouding his title, and then Sc.
curing the old mortgages against the

The Monkey In the Man.

To see the monkey in man you have
only to study the faces, bodies and hab-
its of babies. Such is the theme of a
very interesting article by Mr.. S.. S.
Buchanan. The actions of children are,
he says, like ancient monuments of
prehistoric times. The human infant is
an interesting object of scientific re-
search and even a cross baby should be
calmly contemplated by the philosophic
mind"
Here are a dozen of the numerous il,
Illustrations which Mr.. Buchanan gives
to show how %survivals of our simian
ancestry may be found by any nursery
philosopher:
l. Babies are snub-nosed (simian).
So are babies in the early days of their
existence.
2. Monkeys have pouch-like cheeks.
To Judge from ecclesiastical monu-
ments this characteristic is supposed to
be specially angelic. 1t is really mon
key-like.
3. AT the base of the vertebral COL
umn babies have Il deep circular de-
preston. This IS the mark of the mon
keys tail.
4. Babies Gas Dr.. Robinson has shown)
have superior arm-power and very short
legs. So have monkeys.
5. Babies in catching hold of n V
thing don't use thumbs. but clasp it be,
tween the fingers and palm. This is
the action of monkeys in going from
Dough to bough in tropical forests.
6. A baby can nov any of its toes
independently aud it can move them
IL from another so as to make n V be.
tween any of them. As it grows older
it loses this power.
z. Babies 90 to sleep on their stom.
achs, with their limbs curled up under
them-a survival from our four-footeG
ancestors.
8. Babies are rocked to sleep-ar
imitation of the swaying to and fro Of
the branches where our monkey an.
cestors lived. Even our nursery dittie.
("Lullaby Baby, on the Tree-Top"l
point back to the arboreal ages.
9. The stair-climbing instincts of ba-
bies (like the tree-climbing propensity
of boys) show:
10. The fruit-stealing incident is 6
survival from monkcydom.
IL. Children are fond of picking al
anything loose-becalse monkeys pick
off the bark from trees in orderto search
for insects.
-. Children are very fond of rolling,
This points to the time when our an,
cestors had hairy bodies tenanted BIZ
parasites and allayed the irritation by
rolling aud shows the persistence of an.
