PRISON FILLED WITH muRpEaE.s

FPS sItsllan JaiL #
The medieval fortress Of Volterra
a now q formidable prison-house.
When last I visited IL there were l75
prisoners withiA III walls, all Of them
murderers. 1t is IN 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-nine of them
were condemned for life, and that
meant murder of brutal and cold
blooded descriptions; the remainder
were imprisoned for periods ranging
from fifteen to thirty years. and that
would mean murder with extenuating
circumstances-murd the result of
INCONSISTENCY in q sweetheart, or frailty
in a wife, or faithlessness in q friend.
The confinement is vigorously solitary
and cellular; the exercise courts are
cellular; there are cellular smithies
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
fellow convicts, can, through long.
narrow loophole, see the altar and the
priest who is saying mass.
AS I walked round the ramparts Of
the great fortress l could look down
into the rows of high-walled exercise
courts-not more than 10 feet by 10,
1should say-in each of which the con-
vict was taking the hour of exercise
which he is allowed daily. Every
prisoner saluted respectfully, and
showed his white teeth in a
pleasant smile, glad at the sight
of any fresh face. Italian pris-
oners 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 25 centesimi a day, if
he has 1t or can earn it; therefore wine
is by no means an unknown luxury in
the prison.
The system of rigorous solitary con-
hnement leads to frequent cases of
madness. Indeed, there is often talk
of the Italian government abolishins
the system on account Of the great
expense of maintaining criminal luna
tic asyRlms.-St. James Gazette.

Rhodes and Emperor William.

Cecil Rhodes once was conversing
with Emperor William in regard to an
agreement entered into between the
German government and himself
about the construction of the Cape-to-
Cairo telegraph line through German
territory in Africa. The emperor
said: well, Mr.. Rhodes, l hope you
are satisfied with the arrangement"
No" replied Rhodes, unless, sir,
you want to see Cecil Rhodes file his
petition in bankruptcy" What do
you mean?' asked the kaiser. II
mean" was the reply, that there is
clause in this document which pro-
vides that while your majesty under
takes to protect the telegraph against
attacks or injury Cecil Rhodes has to
pay the whole cost incurred in such
defense. Now, sir, there is nothing
in the clause to prevent you from
sending a whole army corps for this
purpose, and if l had to pay for that
| should have to file my petition. ;"
The kaiser laughed and said, Quite
right" and turning to Count Won Bu-
low who was present, said: Add
words limiting Mr.. Rhodes liability to
G4O.000. That's fair, l think" To
which Rhodes replied that he was per.
fectly satisfied.

Troubles of Young Housewives.

A young housewife, from upstate,
who had been recently married, called
upon one of her neighpors in an apart
ment house day or two ago looking
for information, says the New York
Post. She saluted her neigh Dor with
How do you kill crabs?" What on
earth are you talking about?" We'll,
you see, my husband sent home some
crabs for dinner, and he will be home
soon, and l don't know how to kill
them. l have been trying to drown
them for an hour, and they are just as
lively as ever"
Another young married woman
from one of the suburbs of Boston,
came to live in New York. One after
noon she was entertaining two callers
at tea, when the husband of one
dropped in. She knew very well that
he did not care for tea, and thought
her husband might not like it if she
did not give him something to drink.
She asked him If he would have some
whisky, and on his replying in the af-
firmative, left the room. After
somewhat long absence, she returned
with bottle in each hand, saying:
Il can't find the whisky, but here is
some 'Cog-nac' and some Baltimore
rye. Will either of these do?"

BulI0d the Title Market

In China an official announcement
recently appeared that after a certaiI
date the title of mandarin would nd
be sold to anyone. The result was thai
everyone who had not that title and
who could afford to purchase it made
haste to do so.
Moreover, many others who longed
10 be ennobed, but who had not the
money at hand lost no time in dis
posing of a large portion of their
property and in forwarding the pro-
ceeds to the officials who had been
commissioned by the empress to con-
fer the coveted title on those who were
deserving.
1t is intimated that since this an
nouncement was made the imperial
treasury has received over $4,000 600
through the sale Of titles and that the
total amount which will be obtained
in this way before the time for con-
ferring the titles expires will be be-
tween s10O00,O 900 and $4,000, ,OOO.-

was interested to the house.
"Have you talked to any Of the big

flippant response, and he e,walked away
with an air indicating that he had no
intention of pursuing a course OF
study in "bugology."
The other day a New York paper
stated that Speaker Henderson want.

sistant secretary of the treasury in
order to help his presidential aspira,

''Well," said Secretary Shaw when
this paragraph was shown to him,
Pm very sorry, but Gen. Henderson

not with you tonight? Was there not
suficient of the daredevil spirit in her
to face fight and danger with you?"
He did not answer at once; then he
muttered with an attempt at lightness;

she's got other friends: she's too pop

A Garden for Children.

1t is an exceptional child who would
not value flowers and a garden of it's
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 slum children can be won by
flowers: and among children of more
favored classes the moral influence of
flowers is force, though it is not
recognized nor extended as it might
be. People living in villages or small
cities usually have some ground
around their home in which they can
set apart place for the childrens
garden. The love OF Nature
fostered by this garden-making will
prove constant source of pleasure
through the child's life. The cultiva-
ton of habits OF close observation and
the knowledge of useful and of harm
ful plants thus gained is sure to be Of
future value. Let the work of plan-I
ming the children's garden begin wit1
the early days of spring.

Natural Fountain Pom.

Pine needles grow in pairs in the
same sheath. and when placed side by
side the sharp pointed ends are ex-
actly opposite. Fasten these two
needles together by thread quite
near the pointed end and you will
have pen with two sharp nibs, ready
to write whatever you please. AS
penholder insert the pen into hollow
twig, letting the points stick out
about half an inch. Dip your pen
into an inkstand. letting it remain for
a short time in the ink. The ink will
rise by capillary in the tube formed
by the junction Of the two needles,
and will form reserve Of liquid suf-
hcient for the writing of twenty lines.
The pen is 1ne, simple, and won't
rust.-Pearson's Weekly.

RHYTHM OF THE SONGS OF BIRDS

How little we realize the fact that
the music of nature is always intense
ly rhythmical! An intelligent rooster.
with a good ear always crows in ac-
curate three-four time, and in the
minor key. Our own simplest idea
of time is perfectly illustrated by the
drum, the dots indicating footsteps
and the dashes drum beats. Now,
this is rhythm, an essential principle
of music, and we are widely at fault
if we suppose for one moment that
the birds sing regardless of it. The
drum beats are in unmistakable
four-four time, the commonest time
of all, and l think it could be conclu-
sively proved that the oriole, for in
stance, has adopted that time for his
own.
1t is evident to close observer
that there is something odd about the
orioles time; it is four-four, without
doubt, but there are queer breaks in
it; the singer drops a note here and
there, much as good old grandmamma
drops stitch in her clever knitting
These omissions are characteristic Of
the oriole; his style is one Of marked
syncopation, with a preference for
that kind of melody which has been
styled ''ragtime." If you wish to
initiate this quality you must whistle
"toot" by placing the tip of tho
tongue Immediately behind the upper
front teeth, dropping. and returning
it quickly.-Frank Leslies Monthly.

crate negro prisoner and send him
to Massachusetts.
That's all right" was Senator
Hoar's comment. IF man is a crimi-
nal, Arkansas is the place for him. If
he is free man and citizen, don't
know any better place for him than
Massachusetts"
Senator Millard of Nebraska was
tramping around the south end of the
capitol with visitors, who asked him
the cost of the immense structure.
I'm sure l don't know" answered
the senator, little disappointed for
not knowing. What did this capitol
cost?" inquired he, appealing to one
Of the House employees near the tele-
graph Office.
"Oh, guess about $4,000, ,o0o," was
the reply.
Capt. Kennedy. the veteran capitol
guide, however, says it cost about $13,-
100000, and he knows more about the
big building probably than any other
living man. He reckons in the cost
of the terraces and the improvements
in the new committee rooms, the total
being just about twice the expense of
erecting and equipping the Library Of
Congress, just across the reservation.

Paintln on Human Skin.

Marcus lorenzo, an Italian paint
er, who fiourished in the last century,
once paid 200 francs for a piece of
human skin no larger than a dinner
plate upon which to execute a land
scape in oils. The skin, which was
chemically prepared to receive the
paint was taken from the back of ata
aged woman, whose body had been
sold to a medical man for dissecting
experiments. The human parchment
was drawn tightly over metal frame
and the artist spent nearly seven
months in producing painting that
was afterward exhibited in various sa-
Ions, and ultimately realized the sum
of $4,000 francs.

vacancies by the fact that there has
been rush of applicants for his place,
suggests a good story, which Secre-
tary Hay related to friend few
days ago:
There was a post in South Ameri-
ca in the tropical region on the east
coast, which was SO unhealthful that
it is no small matter to get any con-
sui to stay there said the secretary.
AT last we found man who seemed
to thrive under the climate and on the
malaria. After number of years SER
vice. however his less fortunate wife
succumbed to the conditions and died.
He resigned his position and came
home. Several years passed by when
the department received a letter from
him. stating that he had married again
and had about made up his mind that
he would like to go back with his new
wife to the old consulshlp."

Honor Sir Walter Scott.

"The people of Scotland" said Mr..
John o. Miller of Edinburgh, never
cease to bless the memory OF Sir Wal
ter Scott. To the Wizard of the
North is due mainly the credit of
spreading his country's fame to all
parts of the world, and that is the
reason that with each recurring sum-
mer vast numbers of American tour
lists pour into our country. The best
part Of their visitation, from a prac-
tical point, is the good American dol
lars they dispense with no niggardly
hand. II it hadn't been fer Sir Walter,
they would have probably never
thought to come our way, and that il

Senator Teller was sitting in a
group Of senator's, all of whom were
telling stories. Mr.. Teller sat silent.
Finally he broke into the game.
II wish l could tell stories.' he
said, "but l can't. The other day l
heard a man tell a half dozen good
stories"

washington physicians have dis
covered several well-developed cases
of "ping-pong knee" among the smart
set, who are devotees of the new and
fashionable game. In some instances
the affection had been attributed to
the wearing of half-hose, which is the
latest wrinkle among the up-to-date
women, but since the reports from
London, and the accounts in the Eng
lish medical journals, the RESPONSE
bility has been fixed where it belongs.

Hurry, then" But the horse picked
his way slowly down the hill in the
darkness. The man was desperately
nervous; the woman calm as if looking
into the face of death.
Finally they reached little country
station in the woods, and the woman
handed the reins to her companion.
Give me your valise," she whisper
ed. ''and keep we'll back. If they come
drive away-anywhere. I'll meet
them" Then she walked into the
waiting room and called the station
master, who was walking outside.
Going away?" he asked.
Yes; one ticket to the junction,
please" He drew it from it's place
with maddening slowness. She tried
not to snatch it as he held it out.
Have l time to say goodbye to my
husband before the train goes? He
can't leave the horse to stand"
oh yes; that's the whistle, but its

She kept the valise in her hand and
walked back to the buggy.
Here's the ticket, Robert. The

darkness.
The train dashed up. She could see
him climb on at it's further end and
hear the thump Of baggage and boxes
under the station masters hands.
One sob escaped her. Then with
short, sharp puffs the train started aud
the cars dragged out of sight.
