Lack Of Educatlon Sulned Him.

A certain philanthropic woman has
theory that the remedy for crime is
universal education. A short tune
ago she visited Sing Sing in comps-
ny with several friends. Among the
convicts was man whose face be-
tokened intelligence, says the New
York Journal. She called the atten-
tion of her friends to him, saying:
"There is man whose countenance
shows great natural intelligence. aud
yet am satisfied that he was deprived
of education.
"Tll wager that he is well educat.
ed" said one of her friends, and
turning to the warden asked:
"What was the man convicted of 90
Forgery" was the response.
'.Sees- said the friend, turning to
the lady.
"Well, / don't care. do not be-
lieve he is an educated man. / want
to talk with him.
Permission was secured and the
following colloquy ensued:

an educationg'

Don't you think if you had re-
ceived.a liberal education you would
have been free MANI

friend, and then speaking to the con-
vict again, she said:
''You feel within yourself do you

Let or Cheap.

Mr.. Augustus j. G. Hare, in his re-
cent book, tells story of father Hea-
ly, who was breakfasting with Glad
stone lately. The latter said: "Father
Healy, I went into a church in Rome
once, and was offered a plenary indul
gence for so francs; on what principle
does your church grant such things." !"
Father Healy replied: "Well, Mr.
Gladstone, I don't want to go into the
ology now, but can say that if my
church offered you plenary indul
gence for 80 francs, she let you off
very cheap.
