in the Hongkong hotel. He gave him

MIRRORS FOR GIRLS IN PRISON.

1t is said the recommendation of the
Legislative Investigating Committee :or
an appropriation of $50 to buy small
looking glasses for the inmates Of the
State Industrial School for Girls was
caused by the discovery that they have
not been permitted to have anything of
the kind.
Under rule of the superintendent,
girls and children found with a bit of
broken looking-glass In their possession
received a large number of dement,
marks, this evidence of worldly vanity
being considered injurious to their NOR
al welfare The voluntary surrender of
a bit of broken looking-glass by a girl
who had accidently found it was con-
strued as evidence Of moral progress and
rewarded by numerous merit marks. AS
result the girls cleansed their faces and
crimped their hair by polished surfaces
/ of tin or wood, though the crimping OF
hair was also punished by dement,
marks. Protests by some of the mana
gers against these rules were of no avail
As the legislative committee does not
see any moral menace to the girls in the
use of little looking-glass It is probable
the rule will be changed.-Indianapol

Exploration of this district shows un-

Smaller fields innumerable are to be
found scattered between the main

more has been invested so far than

to the further development of these
