We have a communication from W.
c. Allison, one of the parties put in
the Colfax Jail for shooting into the
Iron Mountain train near Antonio,
in which he bewails his fate to have
to remain in jail when the other par
ties with him have been let out on
bail. The recital is in doggerel verse,
but hardly ineligible as newspa-
per publication. The writer is now
sorry he got in bad company, says
he was raised better, and it seems to
depress him to be a stranger and
have his boon companions desert
him and no one to go his bond. He
lays his troubles to drink, and adyis-
es all young men to stop and think
and keep out OF trouble.

Neuropathic Subject

A fortnight ago some papers print
ed brief cable dispatch containing
fragments of an interview with DR..
Veugnon of Cayenne, French Guiana.
In which the physician gave the ac-
count OF an attempt made by his pa
tient DreyfuS to commit suicide. But
the statement of DR.. Veugnon contains
much more that is interesting. He de-
scribes the prisoner of Devils Island
as a homeopathic subject The malady
displayed itself about a year after his
Imprisonment had begun. He was be-
set with unconquerable sadness; he
complained of dyspepsia, exhaustion,
and prolonged insomnia caused by NOR
al preoccupations, more particularly
by the fixed idea OF dsculpating him
self from the charge OF treason. As
more frequent and evident. DR.. Veug-
non did his best to preserve the sanity
of the prisoner. He prescribed good
nourishment tonics, work in his little
garden, and plenty OF walking exercise.
to fatigue his body and distract his
mind. The irritabllity of Dreyfus'
character has increased since he has
been told of the application to reverse
his trial. AS he is allowed to know
nothing of what is actually happening
In Paris-for the Procureur-General
Darius, who interrogated him by order
of the Court de Cessation, told him
nothing-the proceedings for revision
haunt him constantly with strange
conjectures; he is a prey to feverish
restlessness. Since the interrogations
by the officer Of the government ended,
Dreyfus has heard nothing about his
case. 1t is said that he will be informed
only should the court render a Lewiston
In his favor Should 1t be against re-
vision, he will not be told, for 1t is be-
lieved that he could not Withstand the
shock. In the meantime his isolation
is complete.-New York Times.

a philosopher has said that the true
education of boys is TO teach them
what they ought To know when they
become men.
|. 10 be true and to be genuine.
No education is worth anything that
does not include this. A man had bet
ter not know how To read, and be true
and genuine IN action, rather than be
guages, and be at the same time false
in heart and counterfeit in life. Above
all things, teach the boys that truth is
more than riches, power or possessions.
,. To be pure in thought, language
and life-pure in mind and in body.
3. TO be unselfsh. To care for the
feelings and comforts of others. To be
generous, noble and manly This will
include a genuine reverence for the
aged and for things sacred.
4. TO be self-reliant and elfhopeful
even from childhood. To be india
trious always, and self-supporting at
the earliest proper age, Teach them
that all honest work is honorable: that
an idle life Of dependence on others is
disgraceful,

Women Smokers in France.

Statistics have been taken in France
of the spread OF the habit OF smoking,
and 1t has been discovered that within
the last year the cigaret and even, as
tonishing as 1t may appear, the pipe,
have found an enormous increase In
their female votaries. The fashion OF
smoking among women Is no longer
confined to the secrecy OF a private
room The Duchess de Uzes and the
Marchioness de la Rochefouchauld now
publicly take a cigaret after dinner,
and whatever these ladies permit
themselves may safely be taken as a
sign Of the highest bon mot. The sta
tistics alluded to show that So7 900, 600
