To send ccnvicts who are suffering
from consumption to long terms of i'm
prisonment in jails is practically to
shorten their lives and at the same
time to insure the spread Of the dis
ease among other prisoners. This is
a punishment not contemplated in the
statutes. In Texas it has been found
practicable and advantageous to iso-
late consumptiye prisoners. They are
kept under proper sanitary and puni-
tive restraint upon / State farm,
where they are obliged to work in the
open air to the extent Of their ability.
This project has proven not only hu-
name but economical. The conyicts

"The energy with which women of

have thrown themselves into active

Man, Lord Henniker, one Of the heav-
lest sufferers by land depreciation,

one of Lord Inchiquin's daughters,

Many educational reformers urge
that school hours should be shortened,
arguing that pupils get 50 mentally
tired out that they cannot study to ad-
vantage in the latter part of the day.
An article in the Psychological Review
combats this idea, on the strength Of
series Of actual tests. The multiplied
tion table, lists Of words to spell, etc,
were given to pupils in the morning
and again given to the same pupils to-
ward the end Of the day, ana it was
found that there was no dimlnuuon
whatever in the ability to do mental
work. DR.. Thorndike, the author, con-
tends that the lack Of interest common
ly seen in schools late in the day is not
due to oyerwork Of the pupils minds,
bH to the fact that the pupils become
bored by too much Of the same thing.
The remedy, he adds, is mot to give
the student less to do, but to make it
worth while for him to work, to make
the work interesting" ---

The meeting held in a Chicago west
side synagogue. where the members Of
the Chicago Protective league assem-
bled to protest against the indignities
heaped upon people of the Jewish race,
brings prominently to notice a condi-
ton of affairs not generally known.
From the testimony of many Jews
who are engaged in the humber pur-
suits it appears that they are subjected
not only to insult and abuse, but even
to assault, while peacefully going their
way upon the public streets. The con-
duct of the rowdies and tough youths
who assail them amounts to a con-
slant persecution of the race, one
speaker asserting hat the Jews in Chi
cago are in a worse plight than the
Jews of London, Berlin, Paris or st.
Petersburg.

Petite and Pretty Belle.

One of the popular young women in
the administration set is Miss Edith
the only daughter of the secre-
tary of war and Mrs. Elihu Root. Miss
Edith is a fine horsewoman, as she
should be, considering that she is the
presiding angel of all the brave sons
of Mars stationed at the capital. 1t
was of her that General Miles said last
winter that usually 1t required an Off
cial command to make the officers call
at the home of the secretary OF war,
but now, as the present secretary had
a charming daughter, he presumed he
would have to issue stern orders to
keep them away from the secretary's
home at times when they should be on
duty.
Miss Root is rather petite, but grace
full and well formed. She has glorious
dark eyes INT hair that the seven
sisters could envy. According to her
own story Miss Edith is still heart
whole and fancy free, but there are ru-
mors and they concern a gallant SOL
der lad who goes more frequently to
the Root mansion than official obliga-
ton requires. This young girl is full

Gentlemen, there never will be n

he said: There never can be a less

Bibliomancy has been practiced for
ages, but the old way was to open the
Bible at random and lay the finger on
a passage without looking at It. The
text thus selected was supposed to be
applicable to the person pointing 1t
out. This form of diylnation obtains
at this day among some rather sensible
persons, who never make a move in
business without first yielding to the
bygone superstition, But it is not half
so funny and weird as ichthyomancy.

LIPToN ON THE BOYS.
English Yachtsman Compares Yankee Lads
to Those of England.

Sir Thomas Upton, who is preparing
the Shamrock III. for a race for the
America cup in September next, has
been writing of American and English
boys. He says: Il think the Ameri-
can boy is ahead of the English boy.
1 find in America he managers of
large concerns are often very youth
full. In England n man must look old
before he is thought to look wise"
Then follows a statement which, COM
ing from so high an authority as Sir
Thomas Upton, will challenge the at
tention of those who are responsible
for the education of the ingenious
youth of our nation. Il hold" says
Sir Thomas, that it would be a good
thing to send every English boy to
America when he is seventeen and
keep him there for a couple of years
Sir Thomas himself, one recalls, came
to this country at hat age, and his ex-
%periences here constitute, in his opin-
ion, the best training he ever had.

1t Is in the United States Father Than
Ireland.
There are more Irishmen In the
United States than in Ireland, says an
official of the census Office. The latest
returns from the British census shows
that the population of Ireland is now
4,456,546. a loss of five per cent. in the
last ten years. Sixty years ago there
were almost twice as many people in
the island, or ~S.173,124. The United
States census returns which show the
foreign-born population have not yet
been compiled, but it is believed the
number Of natives of Ireland 10Y in
this country is nearly 1000, 900.
For every Irish-born inhabitant OF
the United States there are probably
two descendants of Irish blood from
both father and mother, and this
would make the Irish population of
this country about a million greater
than that of Ireland. In this estimate
no account is taken of the large mum
Der of Americans who have in their
veins Irish blood from one or the 9th
er parental side. The cause of Ire
lands loss of population can be found
quickly enough in the steady increase
of the Irish population of America.

Ye cruel men who shift the scenes,
Does mercy play no part
In your hard lives, have ye no means
OF grace, no soul, no hearth
Ye wink at crime and mock at woe,
And laugh at shameful wrongs;
Knee deep in blood YOU ways ye go,
And whistle rag-time songsl
Beneath the dread oppressor's feet
The leading man doth lie,
And vainly for his life entreat
While you stand idly by.
Should you but rush upon the stage
And boldly intervene,
The knave would below forth his rage
And vanish from the scene.
The heroine, most fair to see,
Is in the villains power,
But do you come to set her free
In this most trying hour?
Not you. Devoid Of chivalry,
You see her bathed in tears.
For all your help, that girl would be
In that mans grip for years.
You see a man, on murder bent,
Sneak up behind his friend.
You're well aware of his intent;
word from you would send
The smooth detective on his track,
And land him safe in jail.
You only smile and turn your back.
Nor grow so much as pale.
When tyrants fight the brave and true,
As you lave seen them oft
FroN our commanding point of view
In yonder rigging loft,
You let the craven army go,
When you its tide might stem
By simply STOPPING down to throw
A super down on them.
Stage villains of the deepest dye
Are round you all about,
And you ne'er lift a hand to try
To put the ~rascals out.
You look like honest farmers in
Your jumpers and blue jeans,
But ah | know you're men of sin,
