A remarkable arrangement for ne

prevails at Holloway Prison. England.
The interviews take place in glass
box within q large room. The solicit.
ors and the clients are seated at q
table. where they can discuss the cAse
with the utmost freedom, withoat ff8k
of being heard. The warden who
promenades outside the glass box can
see everything and hear nothing. and
he can especially detect any attempts
to convey correspondence to or from

Youthful Martyrs to Clothes.

A surgeon who has many children
under his professional care calls at
tention to the great discomfort or ac-
tual injury caused by ill-htting gar
ments worn by growing child. Cloth
ing for young children is usually made
in large quantities at time. All the
garments of the lot are cut after a
fixed pattern. the different parts being
pleced together rapidly and stitched
by machine, all at the least possible
cost The clothes are usually graded
according to age instead of size, and
so child who is larger or smaller
than the average for his age gets a
misfit. But even those whose size and
age agree are often no better off.
The parent may notice that the child
stoops, and cannot be made TO carry
itself erect. Some one, perhaps the
family physician, may suggest that
the -frock is not loose enough, but the
mother demonstrates to her own sat
isfaction that 1t is by gathering up
folds of the garment in her hand. or
by running her hand under it. But il
the frock is removed and measured
front and back it will be noticed that
the measurements over the chest and
the back are the same; in other words.
the armholes are directly in the centre.
If the chiid's arms were also directly
in the centre the shirt or blouse would
be an excellent fit, but the child's
anatomy is not so ordered nature hav-
ing intended that its chest should bulge
out to make room for the lungs, while
the back should be fat and more OF
less rigid.
The effect of this wrongly made gar
ment Is that the shoulders are con-
stantly drawn forward, and SO the ex-
pansion of the chest and the play of
the lungs are restricted, and then in
suit is added to injury, the poor mid
get being scolded for not sitting up

Englishwomen, and sympathetically
all women, are agitated on the subject
of coiffures and hair adornments for
the coronation. As the peeresses will

Westminster Abbey, ingenious gold

that he will arrange the hair so that

on without the aid of maid or mirror
they will stay in place.

Mosquitoes in Formosa.

The japanese soldiers in Formosa
have discovered that the bite of the
mosquitoes In that island inoculated
them with malaria. The troops who
occupied Formosa We're severely af.
fiicted with malaria every summer, and
it was thought, in view of the new
theory of fevers in Europe and Amer
lea, that the mosquito was the active
agent In disseminating the disease
germs. An experiment was made last
summer to arrive at some definite con.
clusion. The Kielun regiment was
supplied with appliances that complete
ly protected the men from mosquito
bites. None of these soldiers had ma.
laria during the summer. The other
troops ON the island, however, were
afflicted with malarial diseases, as us
ual. These had no protection from the
bites of the insects. The Government
will now furnish all of the Formosa
troops with means of protection, and
the result will be watched with great
interest this summer.
