THE MIRROR is a weekly paper published

THE MIRROR is weekly paper published
In the Minnesota State Prison. 1t was founded
In 1887 by the prisoners and is edited and man
aged by them. Its objects are to be home
newspaper; to encourage moral and intellectual
Improvement among the prisoners; to acquaint
the public with the true STATUS of the prisoner;
to disseminate pathological information and to aid
In dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
the bar sinister to fallen mans Self-redemptiOn.
The paper is entirely dependent on the public for
its financial support If at any time there should
accrue surplus of funds, the money would be
expended in the interests of the prison library.

The market for potatoes seems to be
badly demoralized. An Indiana poet
succeeded in getting whole sack OF

verses.-Kansas City Journal.

would like them even less than now

An Oklahoma newspaper laid in a
stock of rooster cuts for the local elec-
ton, but the women carried the town
and the editor had to telegraph the
supply house at Kansas City for sup
ply of hens.-Minneapolis Journal.
They have a judge in New York
who is apparently qualified to sit on
the bench. He sent woman. the other
day, to the city prison for two months
for brutality to child, in spite of the
fact that the woman wore silk and had
strong showing of social and legal
support. Under Tammany rule, frow-
zy frock and relationship with an al
derman were good things for a woman
to have if she was arrested; but under
reform government even respecta-
bility is not safe.-Minneapol Times.
Such is human life as we find it. The
cradle rocks not far from an open
grave; good and evil, always at war,
keep jogging on together; the bitterness
and sweetness of existence are COM
panions; happiness and sorrow are the
inseparable twin sisters; love and hate
minister on to the end in the same
temple of clay. A man may raise his
eyes to heaven, with thoughts fixed on
God and the angels, while insensibly
charmed by rustling breeze and the
song of birds in the tall trees: yet at
the same time a toad may be blinking
at him and snake kissing in the grass
at his feet.-Fairmont Sentinel.

Rev. Robt. Forbes set all to laughing
and restored gOod-nature with a little
story like this: He said he had read
that in the beginning God made the
world and rested. Then he made man
and rested again. Afterwards he made
woman, and neither God nor man has
rested since. So far as he was con-
cerned, he did not care to rest, and that
was why he favored admitting the
women -Waseca Radical.
The other day a New York juror
was reprimanded for inattention to the
case he was supposed to be trying.
He promptly rose in his seat and re-
buked the lawyers in charge of the
case for asking silly questions and
wasting time 1t is unfortunate that
there are not more jurors like him who
would assert their right not to be in
fiicted with the irrelevant talk of gabby
lawyers, and vindicate the right of in
telligent citizens to be intelligent even
in the jury-box. The last thing a law
yer desires is the ill-will of the jury,
and if he finds that pettifogging is hav-
ing that effect he will stop pettifog-
ging-St. Cloud Times.

To character and success two things,
contradictory as they may seem, must
go together-humble dependence and

Wordsworth.

AS in the story of Michael Angelo
and the angel in the stone, character
making is liberating the best things in
us by separating the best from the
worst, and giving the best the best
chance. It is taking these high and
holy possibilities which belong to our
nature and pressing them forward
cultivating, developing and giving
them sway over us, until they are the
equivalents of our lives, or are what
our lives stand for before God and the
world. Character making is the intel
ligent, definite and determined effort
put forth by one to unfold the highest
capabilities which are in him. Those
who undertake this task, if they are
sincere and earnest in it, will work in
the same spirit of devotion and enthu-
siasm with which artists work; and
they will not pause in their endeavors
till life ends.-F. ID. Noble.

Football In Aria.

Englishmen are proverbial for taking
their games with them into whatever
part of the world they go. Golf, as we
know, is played in the shadow of the
pyramids and in the very heart of the
Himalayas, but football in the middle
of darkest Africa is something of an in
novation Yet football is rapidly be-
coming popular on the shores of Lake
Nyassa, and at Kotakota, which few
years ago was notorious as the greatest
depot for slaves on the western shore Ct
the lake, mixed teams of black and
white meet every Saturday with as
much regularity as do our home teams,
though the local cbyonicler omits to say
whether Rugby or Association has won
the suffrages of the Nyassa teams. One
startling feature of the game is that the
black players decline to hamper them.

FRIENDLY TOWARD EACH OTHER.
Speaker Reed and EIr. Crisp Are Good
Fellows Together.

EellOWS 1OEethers
Speaker Reed left the cars throne the
other day during lull in the proceed
ings o. the house, and went down among
the members on the floor to stretch his
legs and chat, as he is wont to do occa-
slonally, says the Washington Star. Ex-
Speaker Crisp was strolling up behind
the railing, and the speaker went up to
him, and, taking him by the shoulders,
turned him around, and in a moment
they were laughing and exchanging
jokes with such cordialitY as to attract
the attention of the house. Many of the
new members were astonishrd at this
display of friendship, as they were la
boring under the impression that these
two adversaries, who have so often met
each other in parliamentary battles,
were not on very good terms.
The truth is, however, that Mr.. Reed
and MI. Crisp have retained the person
al good will they bear each other during
all the exciting con tests of the last eight
years, when each has been the spokes-
man of his party and fighting each other
almost daily. Mr.. Reed has never miss
ed an opportunity to hit Mr. Crisp a
hard blow from the chair when he was in
it, and from the floor when he was on it.
Judge Crisp has retalia' | in kind, and
yet each admires the Other's ability and
esteems his personal friendship, Many
of the new members have been told of
this, but never would have believed it
had they not seen the rivals in friendly
conversation on the floor.

BURIAL HELD UPBYADEBr.
A Cemetery Company Refuses to Allow an

1nCerments
A peculiarly narrowing suit has been
filled in the superior court before Judge
j. Il. Lumpkin in Atlanta, the plaintiff
being George P. Jones, collector for the
Evans Furniture Company. Several days
ago Mrs. Greer, the amt of the plaintiff +,
died. He engaged Undertaken w. n.
Patterson to conduct the funeral, paying
the usual S. fee in advance for the dig
ging of the grave upon lot which he
had bought several years ago flom the
Westview Cemetery Company. When
the funeral procession arrived at the
cemetery, Mr.. Jones was astonished 10
find that no preparation whatever had
been made for the burial and no grave
had been dug. He made has ty inVes l.
cation and was informed by the officials
in charge that he could not bury the
body on the lot until he had paid up a
balance of $50 he owed on it. Mr.. Jont S
did not know what to do. Finally he
was told that there was a receiving vault
into which he could put the body if he
paid the fee of So There was nothing
else for him to do and he had the body
placed in the vault and paid the fee
He then employed lawyer to bring suit

ask the court for writ of injunction to
keep it from interfering further with the
burial. Judge Lumpkin granted an or
der summoning tho company before him
to show cause why the writ Should not
be granted. officers of the Westview
company state that Mr.. Jones had owed
about $50 on the lot for over six years.
They had found it impossible to get any
money or satisfaction out of him, they
said, and so had refused to dig the grave
or allow his aunt's burial in order to
bring him to terms with the debt.I

Feeding Mich | ows.

A good ration for dairy cows is an
equal weight each of cotton seed meal,
corn meal and wheat bran with bay.
Feed the cows just so much as they will
eat up clean and no more. Learn the
capacity of each individual COW and feed
accordingly. Even after the feeds are
properly proportioped and mixed in the
box, it requires good Judgment in feeding.
In the south this duty of feeding is us
nally entrusted exclusively to the negro
hireling, and there are very few negroes,
even among those who seem to want to
perform their duties properly who pos
sess good judgement in feeding !;
they are more inclined to overfeed than
underfeed. Best results are attained
when the owner, if an intelligent
and painstaking man, performs this
special duty himself.
