A CAPE ruxn JAIL.

Cape Town has among other noveltie,
prison containing about 1000 prison
ers. where almost every nation OF the
earth is represented. There are Ameri.
can miners and sons OF the English aris
tocracy. French. Italians. Russians and
| Hebrews.
great many OF the prisoners are
serving political. sentences. Most Of
| these prisoners are employed in build
ing forts and fortifications. The hill
Ade overlooking the city OF Cape Town
is a veritable Gibraltar. Tier upon tier
OF modern guns have been placed here
by the government and the work has
nearly all been done by convicts.
The convicts who are not employed
on public works are hired out to farm
ers. Farmers of South Afrioa much
prefer convict labor TO that OF the ma
uves, because the conyicts do not have
an opportunity 10 become intoxicated.
Besides being provided with food and
fuel, each convict is paid for at the rate
OF 36 to so cents day. The government
furnishes guards to prevent criminals
escaping from their employers.
All prisoners are divided into three
classes according TO the length OF their
terms and their behavior. Those known
as the ffrst class are distinguished by
black band around their hats. When
they nrst enter prison they are thus
marked and remain SO for three months
II they behave they are then put into
the probation class and marked with
yellow ribbon. Here they remain for
eight months If they continue 10 be-
nave well they are transferred 10 the
good conduct class and marked with a
red band. In this class they remain
until their sentence has expired. There
are no paroles. The classes are not
permitted 10 mix. but each class has
an opportunity after working hours for
social intercourse among IT'S own men,
Ders. All the prisoners are housed in
wards. none being confined i'm cells.
Prisoners are kindly treated as long
RS they behave themselves They are
well fed. Dungeons are never used as |
punitive agencies and only now and |
then is solitary confinement resorted 10 !
Caning and fioggng are some times |
-ound necessary, but no prison official !

lhey must be imposed by magistrate |

IRISH CARR ETMAKERS.

just year ago some manufacturers
or artistic textiles touring in Donegal
resolved on establishing a place for the
making of hand-tufted carpets of the
description generally known as "Tur-

this fabric is that from it's nature il
must be a hand production. The tufts
are tied by the fingers in knots in lon
