DIET AS A MORAL AGENT.

Experiment introduced In A New
York Reformatory.
A queer food experiment is being
tried at the Elmira Reformatory, in
New York state. All civilized nations
hold out some inducement to the GRIM
inal in confinement to sooner secure
his release from legal restraint. A GER
tain amount of time is always taken
off for good behavior. The criminal
has often been eXhorted to this end by
father, mother, brother, sister and by
others who had his interest at heart.
His manhood, his future, his ambition
and his hope of quick release from
confinement have been appealed to.
and in many cases in vain. Now it
is to the mans stomach that the ap-
peal is to be made.
The proposed experiment contem-
plates a somewhat enlarged scale of
dietary privileges, increasing from
grade to grade, from lowest to high
est, so that within due and proper
limits of indulgence of the appetite by
prisoners in prison reformatory for
crime they can out of their own accu-
mutations have the privilege to select
meal by meal at their pleasure proyi-
ded always that they keep their ex-
penditure within the limits of indul-
gence allowed by the government of
the reformatory. The prisoners, I'M
der the wage-earning system of the re-
formatory, as it is at present. must
earn their living and keep a credit bal
ance to their account, respectively, in
order to progress toward their release
by parole. A prisoner, to maintain a
credit balance, must needs restrain,
regulate and exert himself in manner
which accomplishes and shows his i'm
provement; but hitherto the diet rate
has been inflexible. 1t is believed
that If more latitude is allowed and
the prisoner has chance of tickling
his palate occasionally with mince pie,
juicy roast or other homelike dain.

how the name of one of the witnesses

included in the list. When the national

the riders of that class could either ride
as amateurs or join the professional
ranks. Some of the best men remained
anna teurs, while others made contracts
which called for a salary to ride certain

professionals. 1.-THE push" as this class
