PRISON PHYSIOGNOMY.

There are fifteen college gradu-
ates in prison stripes on Black
yell's island. This fact was
earned by clergyman Of this
'ity, who recently conducted a
'unday morning service at the peh-
itentiary, and it was elected by
his remarking to one of the keep
ers that there were great many
intelligent faces in the group of
prisoners confronting him. The
Clergyman made mental notes of
some of faces, and after thu SER
wise he pointed them out to the
keeper, and asked if they were not
college graduates. Out of the
five men indicated by him, only
oAe was a collie graduate, and,
to the clergyman's dismay, the
keeper designated as college men
three OF the most repulsive and
vicious-looking prisoners in the
group. One of the most intelli-
gent faces in the throng was de
scribed by the matter-of-fact keep
er as belonging to 50 tough sun,

A MYSTERY OF ARITHMETIC.

1t was interesting to read about
the. gentleman who, at Sunday
school meeting last Sunday, told
the children that in the thirty
three years during which he had
abstained from tobacco, he had
saved by that means $8,S82.6l- 1t
would also be interesting to know
whether any bright boy in the
room asked if he had all that
money in the bank. It is one Of
the curious things about economies
OF this sort that they never seem
to make any difference with ones
budget at the end of the year.
Theoretically, automatically, they
must, of course, but practically
they don't. What lots of saving.
thrifty, get-ahead fellows there are
who smoke, and what lots Of total
abstainers from tobacco who can't
lay up q cent to save their lives!
1t really seems as if the matter of
saving money were presided over
by unseen imps, who spirit away
dimes and dollars, from some
people by night and put them in
the pockets of other people. Cash
accounts don't altogether explain
the mystery. A man who doesn't
use tobacco may often wonder
where he would get the money to
buy it if he did use it; but if he
did use it, probably his accounts
would somehow come to tue same
thing. Boston Transcript.
