KANSAS CITY,s WOMAN MACHINIsT.

. Mrs. H. NJ Cooley, wife of a machinist
in Kansas City, is a, skilled machinist
and works daily in her husbands shop.
She served an apprenticeship OF two
years and is now trusted to do the most
delicate work that requires skill and
care. She handles a steam drill with the
utmost precision and has bored 1900
holes in brass tubes in a single day, a
recorn not attained by any man in the
shop.
Mrs. Cooley is small. but muscular, and
saws that she enjoys the work. She keeps
her clothing and face clean, but her hands
become as dirty and greasy as those OF
anv other workman Her husband says
that she is the best artisan he ever had
in his shop She has invented one or two
valuable articles, and does not hesitate
TO repair gasoline or steam engines when
they are brought into the shop.

mill or tread wheel is not a particu-
larly useful machine. The prisoners
call service upon "treading the wind"
and that is about what it is, for it
seems to serve no useful purpose ex-
cept to keep prisoners employed when
there isn't anything else for them to
do.
Each tread wheel or mill is so con-
structed that if necessary twenty-four
men can be employed upon it at a
time The mill is divided into twenty
four little compartments or stalls.
Each compartment is something less
than twenty-four inches in width and
is separated from the adjoining one. by
high wooden partitions. The mill is
connected with a fan which is so ar
ranged as to give enough resistance to
the mill TO make the words hard la
Dor" mean what they say. There are
twenty-four steps in the wheel which
are eight inches apart. This makes the
circumference of the wheel sixteen

labor.
Crank labor consists Of making TO-
600 revolutions of crank, which is
placed on a narrow iron drum put on
legs with a long narrow handle on one
side, which, when turned, causes a
series of caps or scoops in the interior
to revolve. At the lower part of the
drum is quantity of sand, which the
cups scoop UP and carry to the top
of the wheel, where they empty them
selves. A dial plate registers the num-,
Der of revolutions made a convict at
ordinary speed makes 200 revolutions

OF them means about eight hours and
twenty minutes labor
Physically disabled prisoners who
cannot stand the strain OF working the
tread mill or turning the cranks are
put to work al picking oakum and light
tasks of the kind. In Wormwood
ScrubDs a large number of prisoners
are employed at making coal bags for
the naval vessels, mail bags for the
postoffice and at bookbinding.

NORWOOD SCRUBB.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Dr Leander Starr

VINO tried to steal the riches of the
'1ransvaal for England. has begun his
fifteen months sentence in NORWOOD
Scrubs prison. Bun his life in that
hahitation viii be altogether unlike
that which his fellow convicts lead.
Briefly stated, Jameson's ifnprison-
ment is z gigantic bluff But for the
: howl of Indignation which swept over
The worla after his disgraceful raid
upon the peaceful Beers. Jameson
would probably now be in Africa COM
pounding new schemes for bringing
the Transvaal under British DONNA

ever, so ne was sentenced to fifteen
months Imprisonment. But the pun
1shenent is of a farce comedy kind. EX
cept Of being deprived of his liberty
his life viii be a pleasant one. He
does not wear the disgraceful garb of
the prison, neither does he eat the
prison fare. All the time that he is
in confinement he can do pretty much
as he pieases, except return the calls
OF sis visitors. He can smoke fine
cigars, il he be so inclined, can drink
choice wines with his dinner, regale
himself with books and magazines,
and have a fine rest generally.
Men who have been confined in En-
Rlish prisons under first class con-
ditions say that the life IS quite de-
]ightful. 1t means a complete rest
from mentsl and physical fatigue,
courteous treatment from the waIders,
an absolute cessation of the ordinary
worries OF life, and no subsequent dis
grace when the term has expired.
Jameson is 2 rich man, and even if he
were not, his friend Cecil Rhodes, would

For an hour tlle prisons hum with
the sound of labor. Then at 1880 o'clock
breakfast is served to each prisoner
while at work Work continues until
II O'Clock, and then the prisoners are
marched in long files, lockstep fashion,
to exercising yards.
CURIOUS EXERCISE.
In each yard is a long rope with
knots about fifteen feet apart, so that
100 prisoners can get on the rope at a
time. Each file of 100 men grasps the
rope and then at brisk PAGES for fifteen
minutes whirl around in a circle. The
idea of keeping the men fifteen feet
apart is to carry out the idea of sep
arate confinement. The only possible
time that the prisoners can communi
cate is when in the lockstep, but then
they cannot speak to each other, so
closely are they watched.
AT 1890 o'clock daily dinner is serv-
ed, and then work begins again and
is continued until o'clock, when an
other fifteen minutes is devoted to ex-
ercise. AT $50 o'clock the convict has
his supper of Cruel and bread, and a
little before o'clock lanterns are
given to the prisoners and the gas in
the prison is lighted. From D. m. to
p. m. the prisoners are allowed to
read, but at the latter hour all the
lights are put out except one or two in
the corridors.

A New Hybrid Gamma.

Cannas are always favorites in semi
tropic gardening, and few plants make
a more striking showing or are more
easily and rapidly propa gated. Until
the large-fowering Crozy types came
out some yeas ago, they were mainly
cultivated for their foliage. There are
many species of this genus scattered
throughout warm regions all over the
earth, the largest wild species being our
native Gamma flaccida, sometimes called
the Orchid Gamma. which is found in the
swan ps of Florida In it's natura Estate the
flowers OF this splendid Gamma are quite
large as the Madam Crozy, which
has been for years the acknowledged
standard of excellence. On the Burbank
experimental farm in California there
is now growing new Gamma, which
well-known experts declare to be as
great an improvement over the Madam
Crozy class as these famed varieties are
over the cannas of twenty years ago.
By systematic crossing Of the Gamma
f1accida and the South American lily
Powered Gamma with the best Of the new
Crozy types, a new race has been pro-
duced, with flowers larger, more bril-
liantly painted and more regular in out
line than any previously known. The
lower petal, so insignificant in the Madam
Crozy, is of equal size with the others,
and stands upright with it's fellows, pro-
ducing flower of charming symmetry,

Pruning of Towering Shrubs.

On grounds of limited area, and in the
gardens of the village and suburban lot,
a iudiclous use Of the pruning shears
annually is an indispensable necessity to
harmony and the formal character of
the surroundings. An important is to
prune at the proper time. Flowering
shrubs should be dealt with differently
from evergreens OF the ornamental
foliage class.
The majority of shrubs make their
flower growth the previous year; conse.
quently, to cut back in autumn, or be-
fore Towering takes place in the spring,
destroys the whole seasons flowers.
AS soon as the Towering season is over
is the best time to prune all shrubs of
this class. Thin the branches where
crowded, and remove the old wood that
has borne the flowers, to make room for
the growth of new shoots for the sue
ceeding year. This includes the forsy-
thias, dentzias, weigelias, shrubby
spireas, lilacs, viburnums, etc. Rho
dodeudrops need more care, as the
growth cannot be cut away without
reducing the number of flowers for the
next year; and on the other hand, if
allowed to grow thickly in clumps, with
out cutting, the inner and under shoots
soon succumb to the stronger growths.
Moderate pruning will be found the
most satisfactory course.
The hardy azalias are not so difficult
to keep within bounds, and but little
pruning is required, as they grow in
fairly good shape if given sufficient
room. The same applies to the kalmi as
and andromeda.
The arrangement of our plants and
shrubs is important. In mixed shrub
berry borders, each plant should have
suffi cient room, and these IN the front
line should be Of dwarf-growing
character, or such as can be kept
dwarfed without becoming unsightly.-
