She will not even open her mouth her

her bed arrives she issues her order.
Now I will retire. and at once three

simply stands like doll, to change her

in her night garment, is put to bed Just
like a person suffering from serious
illness, and so the poor thing goes to
sleep and releases her maids from heir
trouble till the morning, when the daily
routine is resumed. First of all she
issues to the maids waiting in her ante
room this extraordinary order, Il shall
get up now and then the process
exactly the reverse of that of the nip ht

Arc Lights In After about the mid
The Yard. die of next month
the prison working day will be ten
hours all the year round. A crew
of men under the supervision of
Chief Engineer Jones is engaged
in raising poles and LAYING wires
for a system of arc lights in the
yard, and when these are in work
ing order the necessity for having
the men in their cells before dark
will be done away with.
The new system will consist of
twenty lamps, each of 1000 candle
power. They will be strung along
the walls. in the main street and
in the less frequented portions of
the enclosure. It is estimated that
the yard will be as light as day
when the full current is turned on,
regardless of the blackness of the
night.
In order to operate the new
system more powerful dynamo
than either of the two now in use
will be required, and Mr.. Jones
spent several days last week look
ing up and purchasing one. The
new dynamo, which will be a so
K. W., is due to arrive in ninety
days. In the meantime q small
dynamo will be temporarily in
stalled to furnish power for the
new system.
Heretofore the length of the
working day has depended to a
certain extent on the sun. In the
summer ten hours has been the
rule, but during the winter months
the shops have closed down as soon
as it commenced to grow dark.
The ten hour day all the year
round will make material diff
ference in the output Of the twine
factory.

The bakery comprises two rooms,
in one Of which is situated the
oven while the second is used for
storing the fresh bread. The oven
is circular affair about ten feet
in diameter. The FIRE is in the
lower part and the upper. portion
consists of shelf which revolves
while baking is in progress The
oven has a capacity of 141 five
pound loaves. After the bread is
baked it is placed in the second
room of the bakery and when it is
two days old is served in the din
ing room.
For the past six months 568
pounds, of white -four have been
converted into bread each day,
while 223 pounds of graham -four
and 75a pounds of corn meal have
been used for the same purpose
each week.
About 100 loaves of white bread
weighing between four and five
pounds each, measuring 6x9xlS
inches, and 81 loaves weighing
one and three-quarter pounds each
are baked every day: In addition
to this, 81 loaves of graham bread,
each loaf weighing between -four
and five pounds, "a pans of gra-
ham biscuits, 36 to the pan, and
a big batch of corn bread are baked
weekly. In making graham bread
three pounds Of graham -four to
one pound of wheat -four are used,
while in corn bread the relation is
two pounds of corn meal to one of
flour. A 100 pound sack of -four
is also converted into cake each
week.
In the course of a year about
2O7, 300 pounds of wheat -four are
transformed into bread in this in
stitution.- This would have been
a good annual output for one of
the old Holland or English -four
ing mills. If the loaves of bread
made from this -four were placed
end to end they would make path
six inches wide and about twenty
miles long; if they were laid side
by side they would make path
six and one-half miles long and
eighteen inches wide; if they
were piled one on top of another
they would extend nearly nine
miles into the air, and if they were
to be stored a tower twenty feet
square and IS feet high would not
be large enough to contain them

The ohautauaua Spirited and in
Meeting. teresting Discus
sion was the feature of the Chau-
tauqua meeting last Sunday
spirited discussion and lively mu-
sic. The papers read, too, we're
up to the usual standard of merit,
and SO the meeting may be said to
have been a good one from all
points of view.
After the election of class lead
ers, formality which had been
postponed at the previous meet
ing, the program opened with a
report by q member of class A.
The subject of this paper was
"The Education of the American
Girl" and the views set forth
provoked considerable discussion
among the members A college
chorus by the glee club followed,
after which came a class report on
"The Study of Literature" After
more discussion another chorus by
the glee club was in order.
A paper on Las Casas and his
work was next on the program, and
was followed by third musical
number. This and the report of
the critic brought the meeting to
q close.
The roll call showed three men,
bers absent.
