To Care for ParOlcd Prisoners.

The Interior, Chicago, speaking OF
the Illinois Industrial Association,
organized for the purpose of aiding
discharged criminals, says:
"The State expends at least 50, 00o,-
900 each year in furnishing criminals.
1t spends scarcely anything for their
reform. The association above named
is e~ndeavoring to supplement the work
of the State in tho last named depart
ment. Every month at least, 100 ex-
convicts come to Chicago from the
prisons of Illinois and surrounding
States. OF this number there are
many who have served but q single
term in prison and are anxious to be-
gin a new life. No man is more help
less than the discharged prisoner. It
is not strange that most Of them re-
turn to criminal ways again.
"Under the law passed a year ago,
most convicted prisoners are given an
indeterminate sentence. After q GER
tain time, they can be released by the
prison commissioners on parole, if
their behavior has been such as to war
rant it. But some person must be-
come responsible for the man dis
charged, agreeing to see that he has
steady employment, and otherwise to
watch over him. The difficulty is in
finding such sponsors This difficulty
the Illinois Industrial Association can
meet if it is furnished the means. It
is planning to extond its organization
throughout the State at once, so that
it may have representatives in every
county who will interest themselves in
finding persons to care for paroled
prisoners"

A writer in Scribner's says that
the Western Powers are beginning
to view Japan's activity in navy build
ing with amazement. A generation
ago she had literally no navy. Even
at the beginning Of the last war with
China her modern equipment was con-
fined almost exclusively to a half
dozen unarmored cr~uisers-the best OF
their class, to be sure-and fifteen
gunboats. The war brought many
substantial additions to her navy, and
now she has no less than forty-eight
sea-going vessels in commission, in
Gliding two irst-class battle ships Of
IL, 800 tons each. These figures are
not SO imposing, absolutely consid-
cred, except as an evidence Of quick
growth; but the additional modern
war vessels that Japan is building in
England, Germany and the United
States are Of such magnitude and ex-
cellent construction that Charles A.
Cramp, our own famous ship builder,
pronounces Japan's progress to be
more notable than that of any other
country in the world, except England.

Beware of the Klondike. This il
the conclusion that has been reached
by John D. McGillivray, an expert on
gold, who sends q letter telling of the
conditions which gold seekers arc
confronted with in the Yukon region
in Alaska. Mr.. McGillivray had been
studying the situation in Dawson
City and the mines for several weeks
when the letter was written. He
calls particular attention to the fact
that all the claims on the richest OF
the gold creeks have already been
taken up, and that new corners must
prospect for themselves OR work as
laborers in the mines already opened.
Wages at SIS a day are a myth, he
says, and for the poor man there i

It is quite possible, admits the New
York Observer, that in devoting itself
80 generally to scientific pursuits and
neglecting metaphysical studies, the
scholarship of the age has deteriora-
ted in intellectually. A writer in the
London Spectator declares that the in
tellect developed by the stress Of
modern life is a mentality in the mass,
in the average man, where it does not
exist in q profound form. "What
seems most obvious to us in consider
ing the modern world" says this
writer, lis, FIRST, the growing deafth
Of the rarer and deeper kinds Of intel
leet; and, secondly, the pressure
brought to bear by the rising, eager,
democratic mass on the few finer minds.
Wa do not produce to-day a Kant or q
Spinoza, but clever critics who write

Half a Pound of Mud Apiece,

There is nothing like dealing with
large figures, and no doubt the state
ment by a scientific person that Lon
doners drink in the course of q year
1000 tons of mud will appear. to many
to disclose o terrible and most dan
gerous state of things, says the Lon
don Standard. Nothing could be
further from the truth. A thousand
tons of mud would mean, perhaps,
about half a pound of mud to each
person. It will be certainly not too
much to assume that each half-pound
of mud does not contain more than
two ounces of solid matter, probably,
much less.
Now. it is certain that in the course
of three or four windy days in March
each person in the air ali day will
draw in fully an ounce of dust, as
much as he will swallow in water dur
ing six months. A railway traveller who
takes a few hours journey in dry
weather has but to look at the state of
his coat and of the carriage seat to
form an idea of the amount of dust
that must have entered his mouth, the
majority of which on touching the
palate and tongue is converted into
mud and swallowed.
Thus, then it will be seen at once
how many infinitesimally small and
how absolutely %innocuous is the daily
portion of this 1000 tons of mud
swallowed by Londoners, and how
little cause there is for alarm in the
array of figures piled up by the scien-
ti6c Investigator, who may brighten
weak-minded people, but they do not
iu the slightest degree affect the or
binary man, OF excite in him any feel
ing whatever, save Indifference.

Monuments in Our Great Cities,

Our great cities are not now exactly
poor in statues; bat the exceedingly
accidental character of these memori-
ais, due to the fact that they are
mainly the result of private subscrip-
ton, is evidenced by a glance at tho
public o%ut-of-door statues and other
meVorials in New York city. To
American literary men, distinctly as
literary men, not one statue has been
raised in that city; but there arc
statues of Shakespeare, Walter Scott,
and Robert Burns. One bust of al
American author-Washington Irving
is found; and there are also busts of
Cervantes, Schiller, and Thomas
Moore! It would be hard to object
to these memorials of Old-World u
thors provided they are works of art;
bnt one would like to see them &C.
eompanied by at least as many Amari.

West, have given it Up and come to
