NEW YORK, December 1S.-Next Friday
there will be many queer Christmas feast
ings in this broad land Of ours but the
one that will outrank all others Will be tho
celebration in the grim gray stone fortress,
that prince Of prisons, Sing Sing. The dull
granite walls are terribly thick there, and
poor Santa Claus could not break in If he
came armed with a sleigh full of dynamite
bombs. Sour-looking guards with sleek
Winchesters dot the tops of the walls, 9TH
ers with bulging hip pockets swarm over
the grounds, moving slowly and never
seeming to see anything, but seeing every
thing. Iron gratngs, iron doors, stone
floors. stone walls-everything iron and
stone. Small wonder that the holiday
spirit permeatlng the rest OF the world
has hard time soaking through this mass
of granite and metal into the 200 hardened
hearts within.
Thieves, murderers. forgers, blacklegs,
thugs, rufians, scoundrels, from the pol
ished society rogue to the malefactor Of
the slums, from 4 to u of the criminal
calendar. all huddled together, jumbled
into one mass by the drag net sweeping
hither and thther over the State, but
mostly in the city Of New York. Sing
Sings guests are 30 per cent. the product
of this city. They are the cream Of tho
vlllainy Of the metropolis, SKINNED by the
cold hand of the law. When they get out
some of them never will-they will return
70 the city. and in a few months many
will be back again behind tho iron stone.
THREE GREAT GIFTS.
Christmas is not an empty thing to them,
and many are looking forward to It with
the nervous eagerness Of the four-year-old
child. True, Santa Claus does not bring
fine gifts there. but he does make a change
in the dreadful routine OF the place, and
that is the blessed gift OF the old convict
greater and grander than jeweled baubles,
money or riches. He does things on
Christmas day that he can do on no other
Of the 800 days OF the year He eats dif-
ferent food, he can talk 70 his fellow men,
he can walk without folding his arm on
his chest. These may seem small bless
ings, but the old-timer in Sing Sing APP
preciates them at their true worth.
He knows what It Is 10 go day after day.
week after week and month after month
without saying a word TO his fellow men.
It is true he communicates with them, but
not in the free way of opening the mouth
and talking naturally. That would mean
a stay In the dark cell, perhaps on bread
and water and bad marks, which would
deprive him Of shortening his term by
good behavior. He uses the lip language
subtle. quiet. but effective. II he IS an
adept in crime he can tick out message

A DOGS INFECTED TONGUE.
There now lies under the micro
scope in my office a peculiar looking
organ. 1t is the tongue of a pet dog.
He died in a house where the family
had whooping cough. ! have not eX-
amined it, but I expect to find whoop-
ing cough in that tongue. And why
not?
"a dogs tongue is the best germ in
cubator known 1t is rough enough to
allow tho oo~'Vs t0 secret thor1en'~0e
and it is kept always moist and warm,
Inree elegant conmuOns Tor germ IL

Moreover, the dog does not wash
away the germs in his mouth. He
uses no tooth brush. He does not rinse
his mouth after eating, and he never
cleans his teeth. There is no disturb
ing element to the germ that hides
away there; and the drOoling mouth,
the indamed lips and hung-out ulcer
ated tongue tell a great tale OF germ
work going on.
DO I think the Health Board will
begin a crusade against dogs? No, not
against dogs, but against allowing
them to run around freely A dog may
be a good fellow if properly treated
Into the question of kissing him, I do
not care to go. There are such things
as personal delicacy, personal refine
ment and personal nicely. but Of these
each person is his own judge, and must
decide for himself where his own re-
fnement is to stop. If woman kisses
the nose of her dog. she must excuse !
me from coming next, but II she knows
any one who has no objection to this
two-fold distribution, why so much TO |
her. the better for her-and the dog.
The Board of Health would en-
deavor in these cases to let the mistress |
know about dog diseases, so she could |
recognize them. In the streets the !
dog would be forbidden the thorough |
fare: and it would be impossible for |
him to trOt from swill bucket to swill !
bucket and from small child to small |
child, with the germs floating thick f!
around his canine nose.
There is a mighty fine field for work !
here, and we shall expect to see mis- |
tress and dog in better shape when the
alarming conditions become better
known" FRANK HARRIS.
