having the management and control of
the prison. in its report for the year 1896,
estimates II further saving each year for
the ensuing two years on account OF
maintenance, OF $4,000, and asks an an
nuol appropriation OF but s25, 900 instead
OF $1,000 for the maintenance of the
prison. II represents, however, that
there 10 great need for better and
purer water supply for the prison, the
supply at present being pumped by hand
from a water ditch into tanks located at
the top of the buildings and then dis
tributed in pipes about the premises
This Improvement will contribute 10 The
general healthiulness OF the inmates and
will add increased projection against fro
with a consequent decrease in insurance
rates. The estimated cost Of this i'm
provement Is placed At $4,000. The board
also urges tho Importance Of eularging
the Workshop which regard as n hope
full and significant forerunner of further
financial advantage to the State. AL
ready the convicts make all the clothing
used in tho prison from material pro-
duced within the State), also supply the
Stale insane asylum with all the clothing
used for the insane, and have produced
some lines OF marketable clothing which
have been sold in accordance with law.
Other Industries also are in process OF
establishment. 1t is contemplated also
to employ all prisoners, not otherwise
engaged, in breaking rock, as soon as
funds are available to provide teams
and wagons to haul the rock which will
be quarried In the vicinity of
the prison. The law enacted at the
last session OF the Legislature

especially so in respect to the classical

Taking the Wrong Boats.

Dwight L. Moody, in addressing
his great Bible class in The Ladies'
Home Journal ON regeneration, IL
lustrates his teachings with this ex.
cellent story: "a Methodist minis
ter, ON his way to camp meeting,
through some mistake took passage
on the wrong boat. He found that,
instead of being bound for relig-
ious gathering, he was on his way
to a horse race. His fellow passen-
gers were betting and discussing the
events, and the whole atmosphere
was foreign to his nature. He be-
sought the captain that he would
stop his boat and let him off at the
first landing, as the surroundings
were SO distasteful to him.
"The story also goes on to relate
how, on the same occasion, a sport
ing man, intending to go to the
races, by some mistake found him.
self on the wrong boat, bound for
the camp meeting. The conversa-
ton about him was no more intelli-
gible to him than to the man in the
first instance, and he, too, besought
the captain to stop and let him off
the boat. Now, what was true in
these two cases is practically true
with every one. A true Christian is
wretched where there is no fellow
ship, and an unregenerate man is
not at ease where there are only
Christians. A mans future will be
according to what he is here pre-.
pared for. If he is not regenerate,
heaven will have no attractions for
him. y

How TO Stop Snoring.

To those who snore and are aware
of the infirmity and wish to get rid
of it we would commend the follow
ing: There are two channels in
which the air travels in going to the
lungs namely, the nose and the
mouth. These two passages unite
in common cavity, and from that
point there is but one tube leading
to the lungs. There is bone, called
the hard palate, which forms the
roof of the mouth and the floor of
the nose, separating these two air
channels from each other. At the
inner or postegior end of the bone
is little body called the soft palate
made of muscle and covered with a
delicate skin. This soft palate is
attached at one end to the hard pal
ate. The other end hangs loose and
moves or laps in the act of breath
ing, something like window cur
tain when acted upon by current
Of air. This is its condition while
we are asleep or awake, though dur
ing sleep it is much more relaxed or
fabby than when we are awake.
Now, in order to snore one must
keep the mouth open as we'll as the
nose, and in this condition the two
currents of air passing in and out
together during the act of breathing
catch this little current between
them and throw it into rapid vi
bration. This vibration, more or
less intense and sonorous, is what
we call snoring. 1t is only with the
mouth open that snoring can be ac-
complished. Try to sleep with your
mouth closed, and if you can sue
ceed In doing so you will cure your
self of a very disagreeable perform
ance--certainly disagreeable to 9TH
ers If not to yourself.-N York
Ledger.

The weighss Of Children.

The weights of children and their
stature are topics of interest to
mothers. Supposing at birth the
baby weighs 8 pounds, then its
length should be foot inches; at
6 months, the length is 2 1-2 feet,
and its weight 16 pounds; at / year
the length is feet inches, and
the weight "a pounds; at IS months,
the length is 2 feet 8 1-2 inches, and
the weight 2s pounds; at 2 years it
has increased to 3 feet in stature,
and to so pounds in weight; at
years to feet inches, and SO 1-2
pounds in weight; at years the
stature is feet 6 inches and the
weight Al pounds, and at years the
height is 8 feet s inches and the
weight As pounds. New York I.edg-

Pin Machinery.

made by hand and were consequent

chimes have been brought to state
of perfection. They now receive
the wire from the spools, cut it into
proper lengths, make the head and
point and polish the pins, and by a
most singular piece of machinery
gather up at one motion a proper
number to compose the row, fold
the strips of paper and pass the pins
through. A slight movement of the
roller bearing the paper pushes it
forward little farther. 1t is again
caught up by the clamps and another
row of pins pressed into position. 1t
is claimed for some Of these pin

Not One Es,sped.

"Here it goes!' wkooped Howley
as he made a swipe with his cane
and caught his only little son a ter
rible whack on the shin.
The boy hoped about with the
injured member in the air, while his
shrieks filed the neighborhood with
alarm.
HOwley was conducting the whole
campaign and yelled for his wife to
look out as he aimed another blow
that set the walls of the kitchen
dripping with the contents of the
milk pitcher. She looked out by
recklessly falling backward over a
chair, taking the chair with her and
letting out screech that fully ac-
counted for the lung power of the
boy.
The next swing of the deadly cane
caught the big kitchen maid on the
crazy bone, and she was about to re-
taliate with the poker when the
bowling epidemic seized her. She
dropped the poker and made stand
ing high jump to the top of the ta-
bic that would have gained her fa-
vorable mention in any amateur
contest. There she tucked her skirts
about her feet and shivered.
"Ahar' Kissed Howley exultant-
ly. I've got him." And the man
OF the house made lunging kick
that put his foot and most of his leg
through the lower panel of the door.
His head smashed crock, and from
the way he rubbed his scalp it is
only fair to the crock to call the en-.
counter draw.

roared as the rat disappeared
through the new opening, "why

But the old reliable family cat
disposed of the invader as he leaped
into the shed, and Mrs. Howley had
few words with her husband for
not having sense enough to let the
cat in at first. st.-Detroit Free Press.

Card Etiquette.

Card etiquette is more pronounced
on the continent than in America.
for society as a whole is more CON
ventional and social customs are
much more matters of form. Emo
tions are expressed by cards, and, as
an example, Katherine de Forest
tells of a bride whose husband had
lived in Paris 10 or g years before
she married him. The proper thing
for her to do on her arrival was to
leave cards with all her husbands
friends-that is to say, at the places
where he was in the habit of visit
ing, or with women who had said
to him that they hoped his wife
would call on them. Nearly all these
cards were returned within a week
in person-that is to say, the right
hand corner of the card was turned
down. And when the woman leav-
ing it had a reception day not en-.
graved, it was written in the lower
left hand corner. 1t so happened,
however, that two of the husbands
visiting acquaintances were not
pleased with his marriage and did
not care to know his wife. They
simply left cards with no corner
turned, and the wife did not call
again. A year later a little misun-
derstanding that had crept up be.
tween the two families was ex-
planned away, the two ladies left
cards with corners turned down and
their day written upon them, and
the course of social intercourse ran
smoothly ever after. San Francisco

Gorgeous Bedroom.
Copyright. iS97.1

The country idea of a bed Is strange. st is always taken for granted that you can sleep anywhere and that what the bed or it's trappings are like makes no difference to you. That anybody may be restless, find it difficult to close ones eyes and go to dreamland never enters the heads of the wives Of the sons of the soil.
 The country bed is high and large Sometimes you have steps by which 10 reach it. but oftener, unless you are long of limb, you run from one side of the room. make jump when you reach the bed and chance getting on it. If unfortunate enough to miss it, you scrape your knees and bump your head and then try getting on by means of a chair. which you realize was what you ought to have done in the first place.
 The most luxurious of country beds begins by having, mattress made of .husks. On top of this comes the feath- CT bed that mother gave me when 1 was married and which belonged to her grandmother" It smells like it. It has the odor peculiar to musty feathers and makes you think of the dead and gone grandmother in her tomb. On this come new cotton StleelS, uulitS and great manifestations of those hor- rible heavy marseilles counterpanes. Everything on this bed is calculated>to keep out the air
 The value of a blanket is not appre- ciated in the country. That blanket should he at once light and warm and allow circulation of the air is not un- derstood. So, unless you want to feel as if the weight of ages were resting upon you. you throw off the quilts and the coverlid and sleep under your trav- cling rug. After little while you re- alize how hot that bed is. You didn't know that feathers were so warm. You get up, nearly set the house on fire try ing 10 light a lamp that's out of order, and then you pull the feather bed off and rest your weary bones on the husks Before another hour has elapsed you wish you had the feathers back. The husks have nasty way of getting into punches and the punches feel as if they were hard sticks, of wood, while each one shoves against your most sen sitive bone.
 Take the advice of ore who knows. and When you go to the country pack in with the bathtub a decent iaihp and d few other nccessarics of life-that is. of comfortable lifc--two pillows. a sum mer blanket and a rather heavy but soft travelling rug. Tho rug can be laid over the husks. and a fairly decent bed will be the result.
