PRISON FILLED WITH MURDERERs
Necriy ualf Hundred Confined In One
Itnlian Jail.

Italian Jail.
Tho medieval fortress OF Volterra
is now formidable prison house.
When last | visited it there were AS
prisoners within its walls, all OF them
murderers. 1t is an uncanny sensa-
ton to look upon nearly 500 human
beings each one of whom has taken
the life OF at least one other human
being.
One hundred and forty-niue of them
were condemned for life and that
meant murder of brutal and cold
blooded description: the remainder
we're imprisoned for periods ranging
from fifteen To thirty years. and that
would mean murder with extenuating
circumstance murder the result of
Inconsistency in a sweetheart, or frailty
IN wife, or faithlessness In friend.
The confinement is vigorously solitary
and cellular; the exercise courts are
cellular: there are cellular smthies
and cellular workshops; nay, the very
chapel is cellular. Two tiers OF cells
run one above the other, and the pris-
| oner in each. while unable to see his
follow convicts. can, through a long.
narrow loophOle, see the altar and the
priest who is saying mass.
As | walked round the ramparts Of
the great fortress | could look down
into the rows of high walled exercise
| courts not more than 10 feet by 10,
lshOuld say-in each of which the con-
Wet was taking the hour of exercise
which he is allowed daily. Every
prisoner salutcd respectfully, and
showed his white teeth in
pleasant smile, glad at the sight
| OF any fresh face. Italian pris-
oncrs are models of good order and
cleanliness, and the cheerfulness and
natural patience of the Italian temper
ament does much to tighten the labor
of Italian prison officials. The con-
victs get two full meals of beans. len
ills or paste, cooked in lard, and meat
on Sundays and holidays. Every pris-
oner may spend % Centesimi a day, II
he has II or can earn 1t; therefore wine
is by no means an unknown luxury in
the prison.
The system of rigorous solitary con-
finemcnt leads to frequent cases OF
madness. Indeed. there is often talk
of the Italian government abolshinE
the system on account G the great
expense of maintaining criminal luna
tic asylums.-St. James Gazette.

a Garden for Children.

1t Is an exceptional child who would
not value flowers and garden OF its
own, says the Woman's Home Com
panion. Boys and girls alike are de-
lighted with the very idea OF possess
ing bit of ground where they can
plant things" and watch them grow.
The workers in city missions know
that even the most unprOmising speci-
mems of Stun children can be won by
flowers; and among children of more
favored classes the moral influence OF
flowers is a force, though it is not
recognized nor extended as 1t might
be- People living in villages or small
cities usually have some ground
around their home in which they can
set apart a place for the Chiidrcn's
garden. The love of Nature
fOstered by this making will
prove a constant source of pleasure
through the Child's life. The cutiva-
ton of habits OF close observation and
the knowledge of useful and of harm
full plants thus gained is sure to be Of
future value. Let the work OF plan
ming the Children's garden begin with
