A Serious Practical Joke.

George Callen is a negro boy who works
at w. G. Jaen's candy store on Broad
Street while Frank DuBose. another
ebony colored son of Ham, works for
Bernaccio, a native Of sunny Italy, next
door The DuBose negro gave the Callen
boy a cream puff Saturday and as soon
as he had swallowed it told him he would
be a dead negro before night, as he had
filled the puff with the heads Of sulphur
matches. The Callen negro went to a
doctor as fast as he could. He was
nauseated before ne reached the physi-
clan, whether from imagination cannot
be told. The doctor applied a stomach
pump and in a few minutes the heads of
matches. some of which had been struck,
while others had the sulphur on them,
commenced to come up. No arrest has
been made in connection with the case.

CHRIST AS A PENOLOGlsT.

A new and interesting application OF
the teachings of Jesus to modern life is
made by Samuel J. Barrows. OF New
York, commissioner for the United States
on the International Prison Commission.
We are not accustomed TO think OF Jesus
as having any special relation to the prob
lens of penology; yet. in the opinion OF
Mr.. Barrows Jesus made a most notable
contribution to this science. and .antici-
pated conclusions which are not now re-
garded as sentimental or arbitrary. but as
scientific and philosophical We speak
of Howard. Livingston. Reccaria, Pope,
Clement. and others as great penologi5ss
who have profoundly influenced modern
life" Mr. Barrows continues Tin paper
read before the recent session OF the Ma
tional Prison at Kansas City. and now re-
printed in pamphlet form: but the prSl-
ciples enunciated and the methods intro
duced by Jesus seem to me TO stamp him
as the greatest penologist OF any age. He
has needed to wait. however. nearly
twenty centuries to find his principles and
methods recognized In modern laws and
modern penology. Jesus first OF all came
into conflict with the traditional theory OF.
retaliation and vengeance-..an eye for an.

eye and a tooth for a tooth. Says VI.


Barrows:
Over against this punitive theory. which
he rejected. Jesus laid down the principle
that salvation is better than vengeance;
that it is more important to save men
than to destroy them The contrast be-
tween the punitive view and the reforma-
tive view is well set forth in an Incident
in the life of Jesus. His disciples, James
and John. were wroth against a certain
village of the Samaritans which failed to
receive Jesus, and said: wilt Thou that
heaven and consume them. even as Elias
did" But He rebuked them. and said.
Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are
of. For the Son of man is not come to de-
stroy mems lives. but to save then"
There could be no greater contrast than
between the attitude of Jesus on the one
hand and that of the old perology on the
other; it is the difference between light
and darkness, between life and death
The doctrine of James and John was the
old doctrine of elimination, doctrine
w4--ch is still advanced to-day. 1t under
takes to protect society by killing off the
defective and the criminal: but. society is
not protected by any influence or method
the effect of which is to brutaliZe society
itself. Whenever harsh. vindictive. and
destructive means have been used against
the offender, the effect has been to de-
velop in society a spirit of cruelty which
engenders and propagates the very crimes
it is supposed to destroy.-Literary Di-
