ACCORDING to the recently published statistics

of the nineteenth century Physicians attribute the
gain to the fact that have become universally

THIS is the time of the year when prison life is
hardest to bear; when the ceasing discipline
becomes most irksome and when the daily court call
averages pretty high. It is difficult to keep oneself
up to the scratch when the mercury is in the YOs,
for heat reaxes and tries the temper Of steel
rails. It is in the hot season that men, ordinarily
most scrupulous regarding their record get down in
the mouth and ask themselves if it is worth while to
try to keep free from black marks in the books of the
deputy warden. To these men this opinion on the
subject is addressed.
Putting the moral aspect of the subject en-
tirely to side for the time being, we believe that
it is eminently worth while for prisoner-partcu-
larly a long term man-to have a good record. It
certainly makes life pleasant for him while he
is here and believe that it is considered after his
release This has just been illustrated in striking
manner: When the Younger brothers sent to

incensed against them, and there be question

THERE is no more striking argument in favor of
healthy thinking than that advanced in the teachings
of Plato, and it has the recommendation of being
very practical and, of course, logical According
the belief of the Platonists, what man is during
his life he will continue after death; that the soul
freed from the body, continues to harbor the same
thoughts and desires it had while hampered by the
flesh They argued that since it is not uncommon to
see enfeebled old man. totally devoid of physical
power, with all the desires and appetites of youth
notwithstanding the fact that it would be i'm
possible for him to crafty them-so it is not I'M
reasonable to suppose that the soul will retain the
same desires after separation from the body There
fore, they argued, those souls which are not suf-
fcent unto themselves and contented with their lot
will be discontinued after death, and will remain in
the neighborhood Of their earthly desires and long
ings for indefinite period, vainy striving crafty
themselves with earthly things. It is difficult to
conceive Of a more awful punishment.
