SINCE the cutting down of their sup
ply of tobacco the convicts in the Iowa
state penitentiary have been sullen and
hard to manage and some 800 of them
have refuse to work. Chicago physi-
clans interviewed on the subject say
that the action of the prison authors
ties was unwise; that tobacco in mod
crate quantity does no harm and that
its quieting effects make prisoners as
well as soldiers more amenable to dis
siple and less disposed TO mischief.

CHAPTER TX.
THE MAsTER-GENERAL.

In the labyrinth of narrow streets,
crooked roads and blind alleys behind
the Palais de Justice, where the houses
are SO crowded that they seem to climb
one over the other in their efforts to
reach higher and higher in their search
for air, is a small street called the Rue
des Deux Mondes. 1t had this advan-
tage that it was wider than most of the
other roads in that part of Paris, and
opened out abruptly on to the river
face, very nearly opposite the upper
portion of the Pont Neuf, then under
course of construction, but not to be
finished for some years later. At the
corner of the street, and overlooking
the river, the Pont Neuf. the Passeur
aux Vaches, with glimpse OF the
Quai Malaquais and the mansions of
the Faubourg st. Germain was house
of modern size, kept and owned by
Maitre Pantin, who was engaged nom
inally in some legal business in the
courts of the city.
1t was this house of Maitre Pantin, it
viii be remembered. that had been rec
commended to me as lodging by Palm,
who told me OF the owners occupation,
and when demurred on account of nv
religious convictions the Huguenot
pointed out that had to do things in
Paris which required safe retreat, and
that he could vouch for the honesty and
discretion of Pantin. admitted that
his arguments were reasonable, and re-
solved to take advantage of his recon-
mendation.
We rode into Paris by the 81. Ger
mains gate, and I was Immediately
struck by the aspect of gloom that the
city wore. Most of the shops were in
deed open. but there appeared to be no
business doing, and, instead OF men
hurrying backward and forward, the
streets were filled with groups of peo-
pie evidently engaged in discussing
some affair of the utmost moment.
Every third or fourth man wore a black
scarf over his right arm. and the bells
OF the churches were tolling dismally
for the dead. From ST. German des'
Pres. from st. Severin, from the airy
spire of Ste Chapelle. they called out
mournfully. and above them all. drown
ing the distant voices of St. Germain
rAuxerrois. St. Jacques de la Boucherie.
st. Antoine and others less known to
fame pealed out the solemn notes Of the
bourbon Of Notre Dame.
Near the Pre-aux-clercs hundreds of
long-rbbcd students were assembled
and the windows OF many of the great
houses. including the Logis de Nevers,
were hung with black. 1t was strange
to see Paris, always SO bright and gay,
with this solemn air upon II. No notice
