story of bright Kenwood youngstcr
"going on G." The boy heard n visitor
say to his grandmother, We'll, l sup
pose you feel very proud these days,
with three OF your sons married and
settled?"
"Only two" corrected the boy, who
was not supposed to understand any
thing ut all about the subject. Just to
see what his idea was his grandmother
and her visitor cross examined him.
The conversation ran like this:
"Why DO you think only two are mar
ried. John? There's your Uncle Jim
he's one"
Eyes ma'am. And he lives in n fat"
Whats that got to do with 1t? And
there's your Uncle Fred-he's two"

Bcar Hating In oIdcn Days.

So popular was bull batting in olden
days In England that riots followed
the attempt to suppress it in the large
towns. Bear batting was more popular
still, If that could be. In various places,
Liverpool especially, it made part OF
the festivities at the election OF the
mayor. being held before his worship
started for church. Ladies commonly
attended in great numbers. There was
n famous bear at Liverpool, which
showed such grand sport In 1872 that
certain fair admirers presented it with
n garland. decked IL with ribbons and
carried II to the theater, where a spe-
cial entertainment had been com
handed" which Bruin sat out in the
front of their box. But OF gossip about
bull and bear batting there is no end.
Enthusiastic lovers OF Shakespeare
read with interest the petition OF the
royal bear warden. addressed to Queen
Elizabeth in 1895. complaining that his
licensed performances had been neg
Iected of late because every one went
TO the theater.

demned, and solitary confinement is II
 vogue in many of the penitentiaries oI | the country If enforced to the letter
 and a man was compelled to sit within
 narrow cell day after day, with nOth-
 ing but his own thoughts to occupy his
 mind, then, indeed, solitary cOnfne-
 ment would be a barbarity that would
 shame civilization and humanity. Mad
 ness and death could only result in the
 majority of cases.
 l But when the convicted man stands before his judge to receive his punish ment and listens to the words "soli- tary confinement" their terror is lightened by the merciful provision | that his loneliness shall be relieved by hard labor" Then, too, the crowd ed condition of the Eastern peniten- tiary requires that two, and frequently three, -cOnvicts shall be confined in the same cell, and the solitary confne- ment' part of the sentence is more or less a legal fiction.
 While man has the company of his fellows and the boon of work in the prison there is imposed upon him a punishment the severity and irksome- ness of which can only be apprehended in it's full force by one who has under gone it. The punishment is silence. Throughout the day no man dare speak to his fellow save of necessity or by stealth. To @ man who has yielded to temptation and fallen from an honor able place in society the need of human sympathy, the sound of kindly vo'ca 8 friendly ear into which to pour the torturing surgings of his mind is most necessary, and must make this imposed silence terrible to bear.
 The prison authorities recognize the severity of the punishment of these long breeding hours and the mental strain imposed on the convict Many in passing the penitentiary in the early hours of the evening must have been startled by the cries and tumult echo ing from behind it's stone walls, and wondered as they hurried by if a bloody revolt was going on within A revolt it is, indeed, that nightly takes place. but it is the revolt of overbur- dened hearts. Of anguished souls and black evil minds against the silence they have writhed under during the day. From o'clock until o'clock each night the ban of silence is raised, and the inmates of the prison are free to give vent to the tumult of their minds.
 Locked there in their cells the great majority of the prisoners await eagerly the hour of 6. At the given time pan demonium breaks loose. The corridors echo and re-echo to the yells, shrieks and songs of the miserable, caged men. Many of them have musical instru- ments, and these add their volume to the general discord. For three hours the din continues. but on the stroke of 9 the electric lights go out, silence once more brOods over the gloomy place and fo1 1tunate the nan who finds freedom in sleep. p.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

MEXICO7S SIGN LANGUAGE.

Mexico is a land of many tongues: but above the Indian dialects and Span ish there is one universal language the language of signs. It is the most expressive of all; the Mexican eye and hand are eloquent members. It is ca pable of infinite variations; it's shad- ing and suggestions are certain gest- uTes that have a fixed meaning, a sig nificution well understood by every na- tiCn and every tribe from Guatemala to Texas.
 A general upward movement of the body, shoulders shrugged, eyebrows raised, lips pcuted, and palms out spread, varies in meaning from q don't know and 1 don't care" to most respectful, Really, sir, dc not under stand you.''
 The index finger moved rapidly from right to left, generally before the face means, No more," or simply ''No." To move the right hand palm outward from the body toward another person, means Just wait; I'll be even with you yet".
 The index finger on the temple, moved with a boring twist, means He's drunk
 The right hand held to the lips, three fingers doubled, thumb and little fin ger erect, varies from file drinks to Have one with me"
 To move the open hand over the cheek in imitation of a razor has refer ence to the idiom playing the barber, and means ito fiatter.'
 All four fingers and the thumb held points together and moved towards the mouth, means ito eat"
 The right hand held before the face, the two middle fingers moving rapidly, is a familiar salutation-Modern Mex icO.
