The position taken by Senators Game
and Smoot in regard to the labor of
convicts-that they shall be made self

Why should criminals be made an I'M

be made to support themselves, and so
far as possible TO defray all expenses

.Tho CITY of Dreadful Delight"

This Is what Mr.. Henry James, the
famous novelist. calls London. But
though London is so dreadfully delight
full she is yet, continues Mr.. James, 80
clumsy and brutal, and has gathered
together so many of !he darkest sides
of life. that 1t Is almost ridiculous to
talk of her as lover talks of his sweet
heart, and almost frivolous to appear
to ignore her disngurements and cruel
ties. She is hike the mighty ogress who
devours human flesh"
The ugliness, the "rookeries," the
brutalities, the night aspect of many
of the streets, the ginshops, and the
hour when they are cleared out before
closing-there are many elements of this
kind which have to be counted out be-
fore a genial picture can be painted
AT any rate, the impression of suffer
ing is feature of the general view;
1t is one of the things that mingle with
all the others to make the sound that
Is suDremely dear to the consistent
London-lover-the rumble of the tre-
mendous human mill. This is the note
which. in all its modulations, haunts
and fascinates and inspires him. And
whether or no he may succeed in keep
ing the misery out of the picture, he
will freely confess that the latter rs not
spoiled for him by some of It's duskiest
shades.
Excess is London's highest reproach,
and 1t Is her incurable misfortune that
there is really too much of her. She

A Warning to Stout Persons

1t seems to be clearly proved that we
cannot make ourselves thin with impu-
nifty. Nature creates the fat and the
lean, and 1t is the part of wisdom for
one and the other to resign themselves
to theiv condition. But just here hui
manity seems to fall. and 1t is to bo
feared that the most serious discover
les, as well as the most dangerous ad-
vertlsements, will fail to prevent people
who are too fat from making them
selves thin, no matter how.
Why did not Prof. luxembourg, f~
stead of discovering the dangerous
chemical properties of the remedies for
obesity, try to discover that obesity was
graceful, and more beautiful than the
opposite state? Upon this condition
alone would his advice be needed. And
after all, who can prove the aesthetic
superiority of the thin over the tat?
That's but matter of fashion. the re-
suit of a new taste, That may change

beauty? Would 1t not prevent the dis
