A COMEDY JAIL.
Town Guardhouse In Pennsylvanfs
That In Merely Convenience
for Prisoners.

Elizabethtown, the county seat Of
Essex, in the Adirondacks, possesses a
comedy jail, according to the Philadel-
phia Ledger. 1t is small having win
dows secured by wooden bars and a
jailyard inclosed by solid fence of
three-quarter-inch boards, which a
healthy male could push over with his
shoulder. But the prisoners rarely, if
ever, attempt to escape. Some good
stories are told by Judge Kellogg,
Judge Hand and other residents. 1t is
custom to allow the prisoners out
on parole, so that they may cut the
grass on neighboring lawns, do gar
den work, or repair roads for the vii
lage or county. Recently one prison
err, who should have returned at eight
o'clock, did not apply for admission
until nearly AN hour later. The war
den angrily demanded to know the
reason, and added: Don't let this
occur again, or ] will not allow you
to come in. l lock the door at eight
o'clock, and won't open it in the future
for you" Another accused of and
awaiting trial for manslaughter, over
stayed his parole and pleaded as an ex-
cuse that as it was Saturday he
thought he would go and spend Sun
day with his wife, returning to the jail
on Monday morning.

MODERN SURGERY.

Your modern surgeon of Dote is
Sterile" man. The operating room, al
most Theoretically sealed and alta tenn
perature of 100 degrees or Whereabouts,
is purified daily by means of hose
throwing a solution of bichloride of
mercury over ceiling, walls and floors.
The surgeon arrives in IN anteroom in
his civilians garb.% He is required to
be clean shaven, like monk, says the
New York Press. His clothes are re-
moved. Two attendants in the steriliz-
ing room hand him white duck gown
reaching from collar to heel, and cowl
of the same material, which covers
tightly every part of his head except
eyes, nose and mouth. The sleeves of
the gown reach to his elbow. He in
cases his hands in the thinnest, finest
sterilized rubber gloves. These gar
ments are handed to him in sterilized
tongs. There has been no human con-
tact Thus equipped, he is prepared to

USE OF MIRRORS FORBIDDEN.
The strict Edict of an Omaha High

Students.

An edict was issued the other day
by Principal Warehouse, of the Omaha
high school, forbidding the use of mir
rors of any kind during school hours.
All the student lockers were opened
and all mirrors confiscated. The prin-
cipal explains that too much time is
given 10 making toilets by the young
women during school hours. Principal
Warehouse has forbidden the boys to
wear sweaters to school, and last year
he barred shirt waists, and forbade the
girls wearing short sleeves or rolling
up their sleeves. The students say
they will hold an indignation meeting
over the latest order.

INVENTOR OF THE BATON.
How 1t Caused the Death of the Man
who First introduced the baEi
Leaders Wand.

The inventor of the baton has been
discovered According to the investi-
cations of a Frenchman the credit be-
longs to Lully, the composer, who
eventually had cause to regret his in
vention.
Before he adopted the baton, cor
ductors were in the habit of pounding
on the floor with their feet or clapping
their hands to mark the time. Lully
found it wearisome to keep his foo
constantly in motion, and so used a
stick to strike the floor and beat time.
He used pole six feet long.
One day he brought down the pole
with such force that 1t struck his foot
and made deep wound. He paid no
attention to the matter The wound
grew worse and ultimately caused his
death.
After his time conductors tried
more and more to improve the baton
and it was ultimately brought to its
present form.

NApOLEoN's MAGIC TABLE.

Napolean's magic table Is one of
the greatest curiosities from the
time of the great emperor, who had it
in his study at the castle of ST. Cloud.
After the death of Napoleon it was
bought In London by Baron Rehau-
sen, Swsdish ambassador to the court
of ST. James at that time. 1t Is now
owned through Inheritance by one
of the foremost families of the Swed-
ish nobility, says the Strand Maya
zine. Inside the drawer eof the table
is pasted an old slip on which is
printed description, which in mod
ernized English reads as follows: "The
Emperor Napoleon was highly de-
lighted with this extraordinary work
of art. 1t formed the surface of one
of the tables in his study, and was
always shown to all foreigners of dis

blance to what it represents is the

genius of man. One may look at this
strange production of art in differ

fragments of broken glass, the PEN

NOVEL PRISON REFORM.
Italy Proposes Compensation for Men
Who Have Been UnjuHtIy
Condemned.

A new criminal bill Is about to be
discussed in Italy, and it is thought
in Rome that it will be passed. II
proposes to concede to those found
to have been unjustly condemned to
prison an indemnity, to be decided
upon by the courts, says report to the
Chicago Tribune.
If the person has been In prison
through real judicial error the indem-
nifty will in some way correspond to
the financial loss which he and his
family have sustained, while If he has
been condemned through the bad faith
of third person, through false testi-
mony (for which, Of course, the court
which condemned him is not respon-
sible), the indemnity will be less, but
at least he will have the wherewithal to
begin life anew.
1t has been proposed to indemnify
those living when the law passes who
nave already been released from un-
merited COMBINATIONS, or the families
Of those who have died while undergo
ing unjust sentence.

where Cain and Able's parents ex-
