A Dictated Letter.

When Howard Moore completed his
college course he expected to find the
world waiting impatiently to avail it
self of his services. Though he had
not prepared himself for anything in
particular, he felt capable Of doing ev-
erything in general. He wondered
where he could go to be best appreciat-
ed-where, in fact, his learning and
uncommon intellect would do the most
good.
He was inexpressibly hurt when he
found that no one noticed him at all.
The crowd jostled him on the street
contemptuously, there was no good fell
lowship abroad in the busy city SO far
as he could find, no one gave him any
dinners; he was not invited to join
the clubs, and most emphatically he
was not offered any occupation. He
tried to be patient with this colossal
stupidity on the part of Chicago, but
it was difficult He then even condo
scended TO look for work, but it was
not to be found. He was too sure of
himself in way, too confident OF good
birth and the inherited convictions Of
a gentleman to care what he dld-he
Giu not make those cautious d1stlnc-
lions which a middle class fellow
would have made. But it did not seem
as if there was anything that came
within his possibilities within the
length and breadth of the city that
wanted doing.
However, by assiduOusly consulting
! the paper he found at length an adj
vertisement for a private secretary.
The correspondence that followed led
to his being installed in a luxurious
mansion as the secretary and factotum
| of certain distinguished lady.
! To say that Howard Moore enjoyed
/ such a situation would be incorrect.
AS a matter of fact, he would rather
| have driven street car in happy in
| dependence than have been in place
where his qualities were appreciated,
yet where his poverty and position
placed him at disadvantage. At first
! he fumed and went to his room after
! his days work hot and angry. Not
that he had anything to complain of in
| the department Of the beautiful chate-
Iaine She was courtesy itself, but he
| could not claim that she treated him
with exceptional kindness, for the
truth was that she was kind to the
whole world. Not a letter reached
Edith Vaille that was not considerably
answered, no matter what it's import
If young man wanted to read her his
verses, hoping to secure her for a pat
ron, or an educational enthusiast came
with new fad, or singer begged the
privilege of displaying her voice fol
the benefit of the lady, she heard them
all, if her time permitted. The greater
part of her day was spent in attending
to charitable and benevolent matters;

that the little prisoners send out each
day 10 the busy merchants to be
bought by the happy, freq little Pa
risians who scarcely know of the
great prison with its sad little toilers.
In conclusion We must tell just lit
tie of the great women's prison, Saint
LaZare. This prison, Of so much pub
lis interest. is a vast sort of convent,
which has little appearance of a prison
during the day. The women are seen
together in their work rooms
watched over by the sisters: at night
they sleep in great dormitories They
are not nearly so unhappy as one often
wishes TO believe. There are three
special quarters, one for first offenders,
and for those whose term is less than
one year; second for serious Of
tenders. who have long terms: the
third, an in1rmary rather than a
prison, looking exactly like the regula-
ton hospital.

TAKING CARE OF THE FISHES.
Patience Often Required to Keep Them
In Good Condition.

A subject of constant thought, to
those having the care of the aquarium
stock, like the aquarium in New YORK,
is as to the manner in which the fisle.
ard other creatures are feeling. AS q
general proposition fish with goo |
appetite is in better health than one
that is shy of food Every effort is
made to keep up the fishes appetite,
and to give them what they want to
eat This often involves personal at
tention to individual fishes, such as
fishes in good health but blind ALL
ing, sensitive or languid fishes are in
duced if possible to eat suitable food
in sufficient quantity to keep up their
strength and bring them into state
of health and contentment. 1t might
not be that the men who had the well
fare of the fishes at heart would feel
toward them, as to their feeding, as a
mother does toward her children, but
their feeding would in some respects
resemble it.
So far as the fishes are concerned
there are some at least that get about
the same care that children would.
Take for instance, at the aquarium,
that ugly creature, the green moray,
comonly called the sea serpent Tn.
green moray is seven feet long, plenty
big enough to keep itself, which, how
ever, it practically never does. The big
baby has had its food put into its
mouth for it since the day it came into
the aquarium, now more than four
months ago. But nobody objects to
! feeding it in that way; in fact, they
are mighty glad to feed it so, if that's
| the way the serpent wants to be fed.
! All they ask of the serpent is that it
will eat in some way. The green mo-
ray is fed mostly on Goldfish and her
ring, this food being cut into strips OF
J convenient size for it to take into its
mouth and to swallow. A piece of this
! fish is impaled loosely on the pointed
end of a slender wooden rod, which is
/ then thrust down under the surface
the tip with the food upon it being
moved gently about in the water. II
the serpent is hungry it rears its head
ouu ld1SSSJ lint d LlduC, lIS lung OOI Sdl
fin, which extends the length of itl
body. If it is hungry it rears it's head
and rises to the food with its big, deep
jawed mouth open, and into the open
mouth the food is put, being gently
disengaged from the end of the stick
upon which it was carried down to it
The strip may ye placed crosswise on

CAPES ARE OUT OF STYLE.
Box Coats Have Succeeded Them for
Women.

Capes have gone out and coats have
come in-boX coats. 1t is an accepted
fact-accepted by the fashionable with
a sigh and by the esthetic with a smile
that box coats are to be the rage
However, they are not so alarmingly
ugly as they have been. Some of the
models are graceful and elegant, some
are severely plain, but they are all ex-
pensive. An exclusive style could
scarcely be otherwise.
The box coat has one feature at least
TO recommend it. 1t can be worn over
crushing it, and that is an advantage
which trim, tight-ftting jackets can
not claim.
One came from their embrace looking
much as though pressed between the
leaves Of monster book, and chiffons
and laces presented pitifully bedrag-
gled appearance. The box coat is
warm and comfortable, but it does not
rumple ones waists.
The dearest coat made in this style
it is dear in more ways than one-is
a magnificent creation in sable and
sealskin. 1t reaches clear to the
ground, is box-backed and has long
front pieces of rich brown sable. This
coat stands its owner in something like
81 500.
A jaunty wrap is Of red cloth with
white velvet facings. 1t has a cape Of
graduated ruffies and also has four
graduated founces about the bottom
Each founce and ruff1e is faced with
white velvet. There are smart revers
of red and white satin and a red-dot-
ted white chiffon throat bow to set
it off.
A handsome three-quarter coat OF
tan broadcloth is elaborately embroid-
cred with Cluny lace, appliqued.
A rather severe model is trimmed
merely with strapped stitchings Of its
own material. 1t comes in delight
full shade of pearl gray broadcloth and
is made very plain except for the strap
pings and high standing collar.

cleaners repair the clothing and the
linen of the place, nothing being made
outside of the prison walls The espe-
cial industries of the Sante are lamp
shade, Venetian lanterns and doll max
ing. Long sheets of paper, rose
colored, blue, green or. violet. are frost
ed and crinkled and crimpled into the
proper shape, and then securely fast
ened to the iron or steel frame work.
These fragile beauties sell for ten sous.
twenty sous, or even fifty sous. The
workmen receive according to the "a
pidity with which they work, from one
frame to one franc five confines per
day
The months from April to July are
devoted to making flags of all sorts
and sizes. The flags which drape the
shops, bearing upon their white breasts
the legend, 'Vive la Liberte," will tell
you a new story when you have
learned that the glorious message was
wrought by prisoners who may never
again know liberty until death brings
it.
The phrase haunts these desolate
men and women; they write it upon

The prisoners are not forced to work,
but it is rare indeed when one refuses.
Some Of the unskilled sew sacks and
coarse cloths, some embroider ex-
quisite thread like napkins, landker-
chiefs and under clothing for babies
and ladies, Others make and keep in
repair the clothing worn by the
prisoners,
1t would seem at first sight that it
would be a hopeless task to preserve
order among so many different grades
and classes Of women, but the woman
in prison comes to be almost like a
little child, and the good sisters de-
clare that the prisoners committed for
the most atrocious crimes are the
sweetest, gentlest, and give less
trouble than any others.

ADAM: THE MAN WHO NEVER
WAS A BOY

OF all the men the world has seen
Since Time his rounds began
There's one l pity every day
Earths first and foremost man;
Dust think of all the fun he missed
By failing to enjoy
The dear delights Of youthtime,
F0r-he never was boy.
He never stubbed his naked toe
Against a root or stone,
He never with a pin-hook 1shed
For minnows all alone.
He never sought the humble bee,
Ar ong the daisies coy,
Nor felt it's business end,
Because-he never was boy.
He never hockey played, nor tied
A bright and shining pail
Down in the alley all alone
To a trusting poodle's tail.
And when he home from swimmin'
came,
His pleasure to destroy
No slipper interfered
Because-he never was a boy.
He might remember splendid times
In Eden's boWers-yet
He never acted Romeo
To a six-year Juliet.
He never sent valentine
Intended TO annoy
His good but maiden aunt,
Because-he never was boy.
He never cut kite string, no,
Nor hid an Easter egg;
He never spoiled his pantaloons
A-playin' mumble-peg.
He never from the attic stole,
A coon hunt to enjoy,
Nor found the "old man" waiting,
For-he never was boy.
I pity hinf, why should l not?
| even drop a tear;
He never knew how much he missed;
He never will, I fear;
And always when those dear old days
Ny memories employ,
| pity him. earth's only man
Who-never was boy.

/ the moray's jaws, and extended lit
tie on either side, SO that it will be less
likely to spill it out, and sometimes IL
is placed fairly within the mouth,
resting lengthwise in the cavity of the
lower jaw. 1t is always placed in the
mouth in some way.
Then the serpent may swallow it,
and eat in succession two, three, hail
a dozen pieces; it may be that he
doesn't eat any; that he just holds the
first piece in his mouth, few seconds
or half minute, and then lets it fall
out, to drop on the bottom of the
tank. While he eats more on some
days than on others, on some days he
eats nothing at all. Sometimes when
he won't eat at one hour he will al
another. On days when he hasn't been
eating well, or perhaps has eaten moth
ing, the last thing done at night, al
ways by the man under whose special
care the sea serpent falls, is to go
around and hand him down the best
piece of Goldfish in the aquarium, and
to give him a chance of getting bite
of something to eat if he wants it.
The green moray just now is eating
very well. The size of the peices fed
to him has been gradually increased
until those now fed are twice as big as
the pieces fed originally. The serpent
does not apparently note the differ
ence; but now, when he will eat only
one piece he is really taking in that as
much nutriment as he formerly took
in eating two pieces. This might
seem to some folks like playing it on
the sea serpent just little bit, but it
is done for the serpent's good.-New
York Sun.

Sainte Pelagie, the Grande, the Petite
PO0uatto ap1 Saip+ ouoro

Sainte Pelagie, the Grande, the Petite
ROquette and Saint Lazare.
The Depot is the first stopping place
or four days he is transferred from
that prison to a cell in Mazas. Some
days before the passage of sentence he
is carried to the Conciergerie. These
three prisons are reserved for those
persons not yet condemned.
The Sante model prison, accom-
modates those prisoners who are per-
mitted to work together in the great
workshops during the day and are
only isolated in their cells for the
night.
Sainte-Pelagie is reserved for politi-
cal prisoners, and, as every one knows,
the Grande-Roquette has some of its
inmost sections reserved for those con-
demned to death, while others hold
the exiles awaiting transportation to
New Caledonia. In addition to these
prisoners of Importance, the Grande-
Roquette receives two or three hundred
prisoners whose terms are less than
one year.
The Petite-Roquette is reserved ex-
clusively for young malefactors, as
Saint Lazare is reserved for women OF
all classes.
The prisoners are not forced to work
in the Depot of the Conciergerie, these
are houses of detention, and until the
prisoner has been found guilty, his
time is at his own disposal. They re-
ceive visitors at the discretion of the
jailors; read, write, order their meals
from outside. smoke at their pleasure,
all of which things are prohibited after
sentence has been pronounced.
In the Depot, however, the Sisters of
Charity in charge Of the woman's sec
ton often provide cloth and sacks to
be made but the work is voluntarily
given, for the prisoners are only here
| fCf a day Or a week, until their trans
fer to Saint LaZare.
At Mazas the work is not obligatory
but the prisoners condemned to soil

always. sooner or later ask for employ
ment.

that prison, the work given is very
easy. fastening bristles into the backs
of wooden brushes, cracking nuts for
the confectioner, stringing beans,
Smelling grain for the merchants,
plucking feathers from fowls, which
are afterward dried and made into boas
and fans by the women prisoners. The
amount earned varies from 1 franc tC
/ franc rs continues per day.
The best paid work is for addressing
envelopes-for 1000 the sum of 1 franc
20 confines is paid. Some of the ex'
perts can address from 5000 to 5000
per day, and the least is $500. Tht
necessity for isolating these prisoner;
prevents them from working together
in the great work shops, as in the
Sante, for example, where one find:
many curious industries, some Of then
furnishing important material to thu
trades folk.
Every one is busy at La Sante. Til,
old and feeble sew rough cloth int
sacks, or untangle and wind into BALL
great packages of thread and cord
Another simple industry is that 0
