Many Visitors Call and View the New
and Comfortable Prison
The new county Jail was thrown open
to public inspection yesterday and many
seized the opportunity to visit and ex-
plore it. Among the visitors We're some
ladies. to whom the interior Of a prison
was quite a novel sight. The callers
were shown through the entire building
and in all cases commended the COM
pleteness and comfort of the house of
detention. The first three gentlemen to
be locked up in the steel cells were
Messrs. Eugene Turnbull Marion Ran
some and John B. Leonard. but their
confinement was brief and voluntary.
The jail complete cost just $500, a
very moderate price for an institution
that will answer all needs for many
years to ct4re. The architect was MIR.
G. r. HoltZclaw, the builder Mr.. J. Fl.
Brinson. and the county supervisors.
Messrs. C. T.. Hewins. r. TT. Richardson
and S f. i>ickford. deserve much credit
also for their interest in the matter.

Very Simple Way to Escape from the
boredom of Life.
When one hears of people signing for
a new sensation, and when one sees
them suffering from ennui and bore
dom, it is thousand pities that some
body does not point out an easy way
of escape from the fashionable malady
by inviting them to take little inter
est in the life that everywhere encom-
passes their footsteps, says the Illus
trated London News. The story of
primrose, for example, is in itself as
curious a bit of living history as can
well be selected from the domain OF
plant life, and the recital of the part
played by bees in it's fertilization is cal.
culated to awake the interest even OF
the blase listener. Only, botany, if it is
to be made popular to boys and girls.
must be taught properly. What is
wanted at first is to bring the pupil at
once into contact with living nature, to
make him see ard observe for himself.
and to make him understand what he
sees by the simple plan of looking at
the flower or leaf he is studying. In
this way you create an appetite for
nature-study, and introduce the boy or
girl into new universe full of won
drous things, the contemplation where
of cannot but elevate the mind and re-
Joice the heart to think that the world,
after all, is fair to see" to those who
have the eyes to discern its beauty.

DANGER in THE USE or SLANG.
Experience In Brooklyn Shows Peril In
the Word stRotS.0

Experience In Brooklyn Shows Peril In
the Word RATS"
A new illustration OF the dangerous
confusion that often is created by the
prevalence Of slang is furnished, says
the Brooklyn Times, by an incident re-
ported in this mornings news. A pro-
fessional rat catcher went to fashion
able club the other evening, and at
midnight he had bagged fifty rats.
With the fifty living rats in bag-for
this professional scorns to kill any
rats on the premises-he left the fash
ionable club and started home. Then
appeared an unknown policeman, who
said: Where are you going?" "Nonc
of your business" answered the. rat
catcher. $50 that's your swag,' said
the policeman, sarcastically, tapping
the bag with his club. Mary swag,"
said the rat catcher. "What have you
in the bag, then?" Here we come to
the first crisis of the story, for the,
reply was ''Rats." The policeman
then punched the professional for
what he, perhaps reasonably, regard
ed as his inpertinence. Moreover, he
grabbed the bag and thrust in his in
quiring, official hand. Here comes tho
second crisis Of the story, for at least
seven rats grabbed that hand. The
policeman yelled, and shook off the
rats, and, the other forty-three leaping
from the bag, the street was soon full
of rats. The poor policeman, with
rats to the right of him and rats to the
left of him and rats in an indefinite
vista before and behind him, fled into
the night.
This is not the first time that slang
has indirectly created confusion in the
world. The rat catcher had no sus-
picion that the policeman would take
his explanation amiss. This is the
trouble. The slang that creates dis
aster is generally used unwittingly.
May the present picturesque warning
be needed
