HOW RUSSIA ABUSES ITSELF.

If were asked to state what a Rus
sian schoolboy does with his spare time
after working hours are over. I should
be much puzzled what to say.
Unfortunately young Russia has not
the faintest glimmering of knowledge
of the practice or even of the existence
of such things as football, cricket. fives,
rackets, golf, athletic sports, hockey,
or any other of the numerous pastimes
which play so important a part in the
life of every schoolboy in this merry
land of England. Therefore there is no
question, for him, of staying behind at
the school premises after working hours
in order to take part in any game He
goes home; that much is certain; most
of his time is loafed away-that, too, is
beyond question. He may skate a little,
perhaps, In the winter If he happens to
live near a, skating ground but he will
not go far for it; and in the summer,
which Is holiday time for him from
June till September, he walks up and
down the village street, clothed in white
garments. or plays cup and ball in the
garden fishes little perhaps, in the
river or pond If there happen to be one,
and lazies his time away without exer-
ton. OF late years slorteneece," as
lawn-tennis is called in the Cars
country, has been slightly attempted;
but it is not really liked; too many balls
are lost, and the rules of the game have
never yet been thoroughly grasped. A
quartet of men will occasionally rig up
their net, which they raise to about the
height of a foot and a half, and play a
species of battledore and shuttle-cock
over 1t until the balls disappear; but it
Is scarcely tennis. AS matter of fact
a Russian generally PUSHES at the ball
and misses it; on the rare occasions
when he strikes the object, he does so
with so much energy that the ball, I'M
less stopped by the adversary's eye, or
his partners, disappears for ever into
"the blue" Croquet is a mild favorite,
too; but it is played very languidly and
unscientifically.
Well do I remember a scene at the
custom-house some years-a good many
years, ] fear-ago! I was schoolboy at
the time and had arrived from England
in order to spend the summer holidays
in Russia. Among my impedimenta
was a box of croquet paraphernalia

Rabbi EllIins Is much more than half
right, When whist playing interferes
with home duties or religious duties it
is wrong, That it does this in many
cases is plain to those who know much
about the present craze. The other day
In Boston a Lenten service had to be
omitted because so many of the flock
were engaged In whist, and we are told
that right here in New Haven there are
many whist parties that seriously inter-
fere with evening meetings." Such
things do not seem right or apolaustic
to those who are living earnestly and
conscientiously.

An AsHAN1EE WRINKLE.

Many people who commit crime when
they are drunk seem to think that their
drunkenness Is some excuse for their
crime. The other day the plea of
drunkenness was made in the Superior
court in New Haven In behalf of an
unusually villainous villain. The Judge
very promptly and properly announced
that drunkenness didn't mitigate crime
and proceeded to sentence the villain
just as If the villain had always been
a sober man. His action was approved
by all in the court room except the
prisoner and the prisoners counsel, and
even they probably recognized its JUS
tice.
1t is interesting to notice that those
in civilized lands who believe that a
man Is not entitled to commit crime
whenh is drunk, and that a man is not
even entitled to put himself into con-
dition in which he is likely to commit
crime, agree with those enlightened and
progressive people, the Ashantees.
They do not think that drunken GRIM
inal is any better than a sober one, and
they go further than we do in trying
to impress upon those who are liable to
be drunken criminals the necessity Of
guarding themselves and other Asian
tees against the dangers of drunken
criminality. Any Ashantee who wants
to go on drunken rampage, and who
feels that he may do what he ought
not to while in that condition, Is obliged
to streak his forehead with dashes of
red paint. When this danger signal is
seen quiet and well-disposed people
keep clear of the decorated one, and
do not give him much opportunity to
do damage.
The idea is a good one. Those who
start out to paint things red may well
begin by painting themselves red and
thus notify folks of danger.

A NEW INDIANA LIE.

The new reformatory and indeter-
inmate sentence law of Indiana has al
ready struck some unforeseen snags.
This law provides that convicts under
thirty years of age shall be sent to q
reformatory Those above that age are
to be sentenced to a minimum and
maximum term. A man may not be
paroled before the expiration of the
minimum term, nor kept in confinement
after the close of the maximum term.
When the minimum term has expired
he may apply for release on parole, and
this request will be considered by a
board composed of the directors of the
prison, the warden, the chaplain and
the physician. If they agree that he is
a fit subject for parole he is set free
under the usual condition Of being tech
nically In charge of an agent of the
board. He may be absolutely pardoned
at any subsequent time, or he may be
taken back to prison to complete his
maximum term. 1t depends wholly on
his conduct.
In the first case in which 1t was at
tempted to apply the law, that of a
young man under twenty years of age,
convicted of larceny, Judge Hubbard
of the Circuit court ruled that the Grim
inal law is that person convicted of
larceny must be sentenced to the State
prison; and that as there is now only
one State prison, the other being chang
ed to a reformatory by the new law, the
convicted man must be sent to that
prison. Another objection to the new
law, which the Circuit courts, it is said,
propose to raise, is that it confers upon
the boards of control, unlawfully, judi
cial powers by authorizing them to de-
termine how long a man shall be con-
fined in the prison after he has served
the minimum term. 1t Is the UNDER
standing that steps will be taken imme-
diately to have the new law tested In
the Supreme court.
