UNDER OBSERVATION IN ENG
IlISH PRISONS.


1t is often stated In the papers that
a prisoner has been placed under OBJ
servatiOn," but probably very few peo-
pie have an idea how it is carried out
Most people, doubtless, picture TO
themselves a cell with a sort Of peep
hole in the door, at which a warden
pe1petually has his eye. That, how
ever is far from being correct in the
case of the observation ward OF the in
tfrmaIy at Holloway, in which the sus-
pect in connection with the latest Lon
don 'lhOrror" is at present confined
According to an account in Lloyds
News, this is a lofty and weE-lighted
apartment containing fourteen beds
Ii is entered through two doors, the
outer one being Of iron, while the inner
one, which is OF wood, is provided with
an observation hole. A table and wood
en- chair, placed near the centre of the
room, are for the use of the warden on
duty, and ON the table are pens, ink
and paper, with a book in which he
records his observations Of the prison
ens. In addition to their beds the
prisoners are provided With chairs
these being generally drawn up round
the fireplace, which is closed in sort
Of cage to prevent anyone but the war
den from getting at the fire. The lower
part Of the windows, OF which there
are four on either side Of the apart
ment. is Of thick ribbed glass, so that
a view Of the outside surroundings Is
impossible, and, OF course, there are
heavy bars on the outside-Dondon

The person who goes against his
own interest by the rigidness of his
devotion to truth sometimes finds that
he has served his interest in that very
way. An English paper tells this
story:
A boy once applied at a store for
work.
we don't like lazy boys here" said
the manager. Are you fond of work
mo, sir" responded the boy, looking
the other straight in the face.
ooh, you're not, are you? Well, we
want a boy that is"
There amt any," said the boy, de-
cidedly.
ooh, yes, there are. We have had
over half a dozen Of that kind this
morning to take the place we have.
"How do you know they are?" asked
the boy.
"They told me So"
$50 could l, but I'm not a liar"

gagged at once. 0
