Sim Whackulip and Ru Hacketop
were two cowpunchers employed by
old man Glibey, and q clause in their
contract specified the hours of labor
to be from sunup to sundown. Way
up IN lofty mountain park ranged

culling the rank grasses and piling on
pounds of fat Sim and Ru we're close
herding the steers, and sat in the sad
die from dawn till dusk, masticsting
plug tobacco and bewailing their lot
in life.
'Pm no calamity howler," said Sim,
'but it does seems TO me that the days

WOMEN IN AUSTRIAN PRISONS.

In Austria, woman, no matter what
she may do, is never regarded or
treated quite as criminal She may
rob, burn, kill-set every law at de-
tiance, in fact, and break all the COM
mandments in turn-without a fear of
ever being called upon to face the gall
lows. She is not even sent to an ordi-
nary prison to do penauce 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 convent.
There the treatment meted out to her
is not SO much justice seasoned with
mercy as mercy seasoned, and none
too well, with justice. Even in Off
cial reports she is an ''erring sister"
-one who has, it is true, strayed from
the narrow path, but quite inyolun-
tarily.-Cornhill Magazine.

Epileptics Improved.

1t is stated in an annual report of
the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics that
the daily average number of patients
was 462. Not one of these has been
cured, but the treatment of the physi.
cians in charge has been such as to i'm.
prove nearly all cases. One of the
most marked results of treatment has
been the reduction in the number of
times the patients have been seized
with the attacks which SO enfeeble
them, both physically and mentally. -
