Coffee Jelly.

Although as many persons take their
coffee without sugar as sweetened, few
housekeepers think Of consulting the
taste, in this respect, Of those whom
they would servo with coffee jelly. This
dessert may be made in two ways. In
each tho gelatin must be soaked i'll an
equal amount of water-that is, one
half box of gelatin requires one half
cup of cold water. Then, if it is sup
posed that the sweetcncd jelly will DO
acceptable, Il cup of water and three
quarters of Il cup of sugar may be made
into hot strip and poured over the
dissolved gelatin. Add l>e cups of
strong coffee, strain, stir in ono tea
spoonful of vanilla and pour into q
mold which has been wet with cold wa
ter. Turn out just before serving and
send around whipped cream with the
dish. If the sweetening strip is omit
ted, tho quantity Of strong, hot coffee
must lie increased and powdered sugar
served with tho jelly, to DO added by
those who like any. Tea jelly is made
i'll the Same way as coffee jelly, little
lemon juice taking the place of the va

A Great Armor Plate.

a historical authority states that
lone of the finest, thickest and heaviest
armor plates ever rolled in the world
was pressed into the very perfection of
manufactured armor plate at the At
las Iron works of Sir John Brown,
Sheffield. The size of it when in the
furnace was little over 20 feet long
by about 4 feet broad and 81 inches
thick. It's rough weight was over 2l
tons. 1t was built up in the furnace be-
fore being rolled by five mold plates,
each three inches thick, and one solid
plate OF six inches. This mass, when
reduced by intense heat to the consist
ency of dough, was withdrawn from the
furnace and in the course of less than IL
quarter OF an hour was passed between
the enormous rollers many times, was
reduced to u compact slab of iron Of II
uniform thickness of 8 inches and then
passed Oh to its bed to cool till fit for
having its rough edges planod down to
the proper dimensions The date was

There is nothing moro original than
the early compositions of an Indian
boy. The following example, is still

savage author epitomized in uncon-
scious parable and with excellent humor
tho relations of tho red man and his
white brother. 1t is entitled STORY Of
Good Bird aud Bad Cat" The essay fol-
lows:
"One dag, bright day, u little bird
happy and sat Oh log and sang all day
long. That bird doesn't know anything
about cat. She thinks nobody is near TO
her. But behind the near log one sly
old cat lis watching. She want to eat
for supper, and she thinks about steal
ing all tlS2 time. Tho old cnt came very
slow, ana by and by she so after the
little bird, but sho does not see him and
sang very loud again.
She sang inst like this: l am al
ways try to do what is right. Wen ]

these all words, and shall not forget
the little bird what it said, and these
all words it said and after two or three
minutes go died. Tho cat jumped and
catch and kill, eat all up except little
things from bird, wings, legs, or skin,
and that bird is glad to tlio because she

BRITISH JUSTICE VS. HAWAIIAN

franklin White in a special cable
to the S. F. Examiner gives a very
interesting account OF the prison
treatment experienced by the fsmuus
and infamous Oscar Wilde, from
which we quote as follows: "rhe
crime for which he was convicted is
among very few cases for which
there is no remission for good be-
havior." To-day Wilde has
not only regained his lost weight,
but is actually fourteen pounds
heavier than when ha entered the
prison. His complexion is clear aud
healthy, and prison physician Gay 5
that the distinguished convict is in
perfect physical condition.

healthy, and a prison physician Gays

r.
After his sentence Wilde was first
taken to the Wandsworth prison,
where he was confined six months
and endured the most terrible part
of his punishment. The main ob-
ject of English prison treatment
during the first few months is TO re-
duce the convict to complete sub
iection, mentally and physically.
The first four months, therefore, of
Wilde's imprisonment were devoted
to constant exercise upon the tread
mill during which timo he was re-
stricted to the lowest class OF prison
diet, consisting of three meals day.
A bowl of thin Cruel with two ounces
of bread was served in his cell at 8
o'clock each morning after he had
scrubbed out his apartment aud
done two hours on the "endless
staircase" After breakfast he re-
turned to the treadmill until noon,
when a dinner of bread and beans,
varied once week by the addition
OF suet pudding, was served at l
O'Clock. A short turn on the tread
mill then began, and was followed
by a parade in the lockstep about
the exercise grounds until 6 o'clock,
when supper, invariably the same as
breakfast, was eaten in his cell,
This consumed, Wilde was ordered
to make up his bed, strip himself,
haud out his clothes to the turnkey
and then retire for the night.
The bed was then hard straw
mattress rolled out on a plank with
one coarse blanket, and in the win
ter a species of padded horse cloth
to throw over the blanket, In
Wilde's case a special warden was
detailed to keep him under con-
tinual observation. The warden
awakened him at 6 o'clock each
morning, threw him in his bundle Of
clothes and ordered him to dress
and proceed to the treadmill.
On leaving Wandsworth eighteen
months ago, Wilde bade farewell to
the treadmill. He was taken to the
Reading prison, where he is still
confined and where has been and is
known as B24, which designation
he wears on the arm. Here his
work was first scrubbing corridors
and polishing brass knobs and steel
ratings, after which he was put at
sewing coal sacks, which is the
particular industry OF the Reading
PRISON..
He lias been shown no special
fayors, b ut the fact that no single
complaint : has as yet been recorded
against him accounts for his being
favored recently with the light work
of repairing and keeping in order
the bindings and covers Of Bibles,
PRAYER books and hymn books with
which each convict is supplied,
This special duty has not, however
freed him altogether from the
ordinary routine, and when there
were no books to repair he has been
engaged at oakum- picking and sack
stiching.
1t will be noted that all convict
work is performed within prison
walls in England, while here the
rule is to make conyicts work on
public improvements, such as road
making and repairing, etc. Another
difference that is being noted here
