A CONVENT PRISON,
Tho Consideration with Which Women
Prisoners Arc Treated In Austria.

frlSl4erS Arc treated IN austria.
In Austria q woman, no matter what
she may do, Is never regarded or treated
quite as q criminal. She may rob, burn.
klll-set every law at defiance, in fact,
and break all the commandments in
turn-without a fear of ever being called
upon to face gallows. She is not even
sent to an ordinary prison to do penance
for her sins. The hardest fate that can
befall her indeed is to be compelled to
take up her abode for a time in a con-
vent. There the treatment melted cut to
her is not so much justice seasoned with
mercy as mercy seasoned, and none too
well, with justice. Even in official re-
ports she is an ''erring sister'-one who
has, it is true, strayed from the narrow
path, but quite involuntarily.
The convent to which Vienna sends
its errins sisters is at Neudorf, only a
few miles away from the city There
any woman who is convicted of either
crime or misdemeanor is at once trans
ported. The judge before whom she is
tried decides of course how long she
shall remain. He may, too, if lie deems
it right, give orders that while there she
shall pass day in solitary confinement
from time to time and on these occa-
sions be less plentifully supplied with
food than usual.
In the great majority Of cases, how
ever, no instructions of this kind are
given. The women are simply handed
over to the keeping Of the superior of
the convent, to be dealt with as she
thinks best. She houses them, feeds
them, clothes them and provides them
with instruction and occupation, and the
government gives her for what she does
35 kreutzers q day for each prisoner un-
der her care.
So long as these women are in the
convent the full responsibility for their
safe keeping and general we'll being
rests on the superior, and in return she
is allowed practically a free hand in
her management of them. There are, it
is true, certain regulations in force with
regard to the amount of work they may
be required to do and the punishments
that may be inflicted on them, but these
are not of a nature to interfere seriously
with her freedom of action. She is, in
fact. virtually an autocrat within her
own domain, and there are not half a
dozen women i'll Europe today who have
SO much power for the veal or woe of
their fellows as she has. Mag

Robin Kedbreast.

The country people Of England, as
we'll as of several other countries, have
an idea that the red Of the robins breast
was caused by drop Of blood which
fell upon it at the crucifxion. Accord
ing to the story, the robin. commiserat-
ing the condition of Christ, tried to
pluck the crown Of thorns from his
brow, and, in doing so, got its breast
wet with the blood flowing from the
wounds. The color became permanent,
being transmitted from generation to
generation, and thus, according to the
legend. the robin is perpetual remind.
er Of the suferings Of Christ.

The firm will do business as Lewis 60

be decided acquisition to our bust

Dangerous Lookout.

Probably a very few people look up
at the old look out station on the back
part of c. Brewer & Co.'S building on
the water front, but it may be that
some day, if it is not taken away, some
person in town will be forever debarred
from even the ability to look up at it.
Yesterday morning there was quite
a breeze stirring and one of the corner
posts of the old lookout fell to the
ground not four feet away from the
horse attached to a passing dray and
buried itself a couple of inches in the
ground. When examined the post was
found to be very much decayed. The
rest of the lookout was put up in the
same time and the conclusion is OBJ
vious.
Probably it might not prove very
pleasant sensation to have some other
part of the lookout bury itself couple
of inches in the brain of some passer-

FOREST QUEEN AGAIN.
A Kamaaina Turns up Again After
Years of Absence.

The American bark Forest Queen,
Beasley master, arrived in port early
last evening, &c days from Port Town
Levers & Cooke. This is the first time
the Forest Queen has been in HOnolu-
lu. harbor for some time, but she is by
no means a stranger here.
She was built on the Pacific coast
some twenty-five years ago and her first
voyages were in the lumber trade be-
tween Puget Sound and San Francisco.
She was one of the flash vessels that
sailed into San Francisco. Every Sun
day morning the sailors had to be on
the yards, polishing up the brass work,
and the Forest Queen was kept as neat
as a pin at all times.
After plying between Puget Sound
and San Francisco for several years
she was taken into the Island trade
and was a most familiar object along
the water front. About twelve years
ago she took fire at the Esplanade, the
present site of Wilder's wharf, late at
night All the cabins and also the after
house were burned, and Captain Wind
ing, then master, who was sleeping be-
low, came very nearly being burned to
death. The Honolulu fire department,
then pulled about the streets by volun
teers, went to the rescue and extin-
guished the flames.
The Forest Queen continued in the
Island trade and carried sugar to San
Francisco until she got too old for this
kind of work, when she was taken off
and put in the lumber and coal trade
to San Francisco. Now she turns up
