While he is there the prisOne1 ~I
has good time. No restrictions as -
hours are placed upon him. and he may
rouse himself from his Slumbers just
when he feels most inclined and return
to them in the same way. Practically
the only thing he cannot do is to walk
about outside just as he pleases. but he
is permitted to take an hour and a
half's exercise each morning and an
hour in the afternoon on the terrace
of the house, and the terrace, broad
and long and with its splendid outlook
upon the river. is by no means bad
place to take exercise. If he were left
entirely unguarded. the prisoner might
dive into the river and swim away. or,
what would be simpler, hail passing
boat. So, just for precautions sake, a
couple of officers accompany him
while he takes these breathS Of fresh
air.
He goes on Sunday to the church in
Vincent square. and on these occasions
also he has a couple Of innocent looking
attendants.
Moreover. there is no question of so
many ounces of bread and meat, but if
he has the money to pay for it he may
feed himself upon the choicest viandS
that the most cultured palate could
suggest. The house Of commons has a
first class restaurant, where the hungry
NJ. P. may dine as we'll as he could any
where in London. Each day the dishes
which the kitchen has prepared are
indicated on a menu which is brought
up to the prisoner, and he ticks off any
thing for which he feels a fancy. and
it is brought to him. The only draw
back from his point of view is that the
bill is presented to him just as it would
be anywhere else, and in the event Of
his refusing to pay up he would eventu-
ally be served with court summons.

Among Jne occupants or the Clock

Bradlaugh. who found himself con-
signed thither on account of a little
difference with Mr.. Speaker on the
subject Of the parliamentary oath.
When NOrtha mptOn returned Mr.. Brad

ed to take the oath nor the substituted
process known as affirmation Mr..
Bradlaugh, however. secured a New
Testament and took a self administer
ed oath. after which he proceeded to
the next step Of signing the roll. He
refused to withdraw when the speaker
requested him to do so. and conse-
quently the sergeant-at-arms took
charge of him. and to the Clock Tower
prison he went.
When the erection Of the Tower
bridge was being considered. a state
meDt was made that the Tower bridge
bill committee was subject to bribery
and cOrruptiOn-a serious charge. Two
men responsible for it were pronounced
to have committed a breach Of priVi-
lege. for the house is very sensitive
upon such matters, and the speaker is
sued a summons for their appearance
One of them, Mr. Ward, gave himself
up without delay, and he got seven

PLEASANT PRISONS.

Few persons are aware that Eng
lands parliament has its own special
prisons within its own precincts which
are intended particularly for its own
members and persons who violate its
own dignity. rules and customs. OF
course these prisons seldom are used
now, but they have been in the past,
and not so very long ago, and may be
again. The house of commons has
one set and the house of lords another
The commons prison is a little way
up in the Clock Tower. Here are two

accommodation of one prisoner each,
one set being a little higher up in the
tower than the other. Each set con-

desire to put up for the night, but is

ceration. This man is usually the su-
pervisOr Of badge messengers, and, be-
sides looking after his Inan. he is also
his servan. for the time being. and
waits upon him just like any other.
He never need worry himself much
upon the question of the possibilities of
the prisoners escape, for the sergeant

as the only way of getting to and from
the prison is by way of this sergeant's
house and through it. the risk of such
a thing ever happening is practically

A father was commissioned by his
small daughter to buy a dozen little
bisQue dolls. Her instructions were so
many and so detailed that the father
found himself hesitating to perform
the commission.

take. Don't you think you'd better
wait until your cold is better, and then
you can go into town some day with

WOMAN A 9EAsT OF BURDEN.
Heavy Loads Carried by Italian,

Heavy Loads Carried by Italians
Through New YOrk's Streets.
1t is no uncd dmmon sight to see Ital-
ian women walking along tile streets
balancing burdens on their heads that
the average man would prefer to have
sent home ON a truck. a few days ago
one of these women passed through
City Hall park. On her head she was
carrying what appeared to be the en-
tire woodwork from the interior Of
some house. The bundle was made up
of eight pieces iof hard wood, the short
est being fullyl12 feet in length. Each
piece was six inches in width and an
inch thick. The woman Steadied this
burden with One hand, while in the
other she carried what one would con-
slider E. good load for one person in
the shape Of bundle Of shorter pieces
of wood.
AS she turned into Center street, near
Chambers, the iend of the load of lum-
ber on her head came in contact with
the head Of :man who was going in
the opposite direction. In order to
prevent hitting him too hard the Wom-
an tried to turiP to one side, and as she
did so her burden fell to the walk. In
vain she tried to replace it on her head.
At last two ME took hold of it, one
at each end. iThey found that even
their cOmbined strength was just suf1-
cient to lift itiup and place it on the
Woman's head again. When the wood
was finally adjusted in a proper posi-
ton the wOmah picked up her smaller
bundle and st8rted up Center street.
