Better Treatment for Prisoners.

Commissioner Lantry has lamps
nlaced in the cells Of the prisoners in
the penitentiary on Blackwell's island,
New York. The inmates are now en-
abled to read till $50 o'clock every
night, and a great improvement in
their condition is already visible. They
are more cheerful and amenable to
rules, and there has been large in
crease in the number of books taken
from, the library, showing how gladly
the new privilege is received. The
prisorer who disoceys the rules will
now be deprived Of his lamp. 1t is not
believed that this will happen very

much better to let the parsDips stay
in the ground until the soil around it
has frozen once or twice. It may be
gathered after the first thaw and
housed, when it will be found that
the rank favor from the manure has
passed away, and the parsnip will be
tender and sweet. Some people leave
the parsnip in tle ground all winter.
It does not hurt it to freeze while In
ground, provided it is thawed IN con-
tact with the soil. The greater dan
ger in leaving parsnips out all winter
is that they will be forgotten in spring
until the warm weather has started
the shoots for seed bearing. Then
the parsnip becomes poisonous. But
if dug as soon in spring as the ground
is thawed, the psrsnips will be better
than if dug in the fall and wintered
in q cellar.

Tie Klondike of the South.

Tiewa del Fuego has been called the
Klondike Of South America. So far.
however, there is no justification Of
the term. There is plenty of gold, but
uD to now no large quantities have
been discovered and that found is
difficult to mine. The gold is all plac-
er gold. Some of it is in the shape Of
nuggets as large as marrowfat peas,
but the greater part Of it is in leaflets
or scales. The most Of the mines are
in the southern part Of TERRA del Flu
ego proper and the islands adjacent.
The gold is found on the shore, the
clay containing it running down IN
der the water and being exposed only
at low tide. The gold IS covered with
shingle and sand, which must be re-
moved before bed rock is reached. A.
the Slogget Bay diggings, for instance,
there is six feet Of sand and gravel
above the bed rock. This has to be
shoyeled off, and when the tide comes
in the gold-bearing clay is again COW
at the washings on the island of Ma
yarino and elsewhere. From what
can learn here there are only few
places where gold has been found in
any quantity, and these are nothing
in comparison of the great gold de-
posits Of our western states. There
are two or three companies which
work sluice boxes with machinery,
pumping the water from the sea and
gathering the gold dust with machin-
cry on copper plates. The most of the
mining, however, is spasmodic and un-
certain. The territory is extremely
difficult to reach and the prospecting
is coupled with such hardships and
expenses in the way of getting sup
plies that / would advise the Ameri-
ran miner to stay at home.

Moving the wild carrot before it

let it alone. But it may not be en-
tirely eGectual. 4 second crop of

moving, and, if the weed is cutagain,

Towering stems will be shorter and
more feeble than the preceding one,

Stone Banking For Earns.

In banking up against the walls OF
basement barns, and especially in
building up a passage way to the en-
trance, there is always strong tempta-
ton to use stones piled in loosely as a
basis, where stones are over plentiful
on the form. Yet this ususally proves
a mistake. Rats will invariably effect
q Judgement among such stones, and
they will in time work through into
the barn basement. Besides, rain
will wash dirt among the stones, and
it will require constant attention every
year to keep passage way so that
loaded wagons can be driven over it.

from the fact that wherever the soil

it invariably causes rust. The use Of

it is quite an effort to handle these

STORIES OF LoNoFELLow.

Great Poet Always Ready to Wose -
ChTdren.
Longfellow's love for children
breathes out in his poems, his journals
and in every act toward them. as re-
corded in the "reminiscences Of his
friends. says Christian EndeAvor
World. Mr.. James T. Fields one day
drove out to see him and took with him
five children who had never seen tho
poet. Longfeliow took them in his
arms, showed them his house and gave
them one Of the pleasantest days OF
their lives. At another time girl who
had read some of his poems and
wished to have some memento, was
picking some OF the changing autumn
leaves from his hedge, when he drove
around the corner and stopped. The
child, embarrassed, knew not what to
do; but Longfellow, compromising the
situation. spoke kindly TO her. showed
how prettily the leaves were changing,
picked her some of the brightest and
best, and walked away, leaving child
heart full of the most loving thoughts.
And still another story is related by
Prof. Luigi Month, an intimate friend
who frequently dined with the poet.
One Christmas day he was walking to
the house, when he was accosted by
girl about II years Old. who inquired
the way to Mr.. Longfellow's. He told
her he would show her the way and
when they reached the gate she said,

TOPS REST ON S365

Yesterday. in every respect, was about
the best day this market has experienced
in many months. The strength of the
tone Of the trading, the excessive volume
Of receipts, and the activity, all went to
make Of the local market yesterday one
of interest to the shipper, the buyer and
the several commission firms. The quo
tation for the trading yesterday may fair
y be summarized by steady TO 21s cents
lower" There was exhibited all through
the day a high degree of strength, but
the reports Of other western markets had
some little effect. and in consequence,
this market weakened just d little, al
ways in sympathy with the rest. There
were four buyers in the field and all OF
then were after the hogs of their respec-
tive weights and grades, and were eager
active buyers for them, and in spite of
the extra heavy supply, the largest in
several months, they were apt and ready
and took in everything that was in sight

Chicago sent out an early report Of com

Of weak 10 ~ cents lower. Yesterday
showed one thing very pronounced, name

the shippers from the south and the

OF hogs here for the past three days
and this was accounted for from the
fact that the universal rains all over the
tributary territory had made the roads
heavy and It was difficult to get the hogs

hogs which had been held back, came in
at once with a rush. Yesterday was the
DAY the bulk of the reserve reached the
market over l,500 hogs were weighed up
on the scales during the day, and there
lwere several loads received too late to
transfer or inspect. 1t was good day
in every respect, and all shippers in
both car lot consignors and wagon trade
were well satisfied with their deals.
