DEcEtvING THE POWERS.
France Doubts Sincerity of Turkeys
Reply to Bulgaria.

Paris, Sept. 25.-The French foreign
office officials doubt the sincerity of
the porte's reply to the Bulgarian
note, believing it is merely a maneu-
yer to impress the powers with the
idea that Turkey is doing her utmost
to effect a settlement before going to
war. A similar impression seems to
prevail at Sofia, since Bulgaria, in
answering, requires Turkey to cease
nobilizing, stop the massacres and
withdraw her troops from near the
frontier before she will consider the
proposals.

statute TO the War College Board, with
the request that they recommend the
method to be pursued in putting the law

"PRIsoN INDUSTRIES" is the title of pamphlet
from the pen of Mr. Edward Grubb, who has sue
ceeded Mr. William Tallack secretary of the
Howard Association, of London. Notwithstanding
the fact that the subject is with many Sides and
that every person who is at all interested in it has

punishment, and the more tiresome and monotonous
it is the better it answers its purpose The utili-
tartan regards it something that may be turned to
the states advantage. He believes it should be
productive and that through it the worker should
support himself Still another view is that it should
not only assist in supporting the prison, but also
that through it's medium the prisoner should be
enabled to learn some trade or occupation which
would be of benefit to him after his discharge. A
fourth view, held by some modern students OF
penology, is that prison labor should not only be
instructive but that it should be work which tends
toward character building In other words that
my should be sacrificed to efficiency If the with
criminal tendencies habits be reformed, it is
of little consequence whether he is sef-supporting
during the process of reformation or not It is
upon this latter theory that the system employed in
the Elmira reformatory is based.
These various views of prison labor, along with
others, are presented by Mr.. Grubb in his essay
He favors the plan inaugurated by Mr. Brockway for
prisons as we'll reformatories but admits that
will be time before it is generally adopted He
recommends "Soyd" work as prison industry, as il
sis good as means of discipline for body, and mind
and character it makes the prisoner fit to earn
an honest living on his discharge; and it does not
compete with outside labor" He also strongly rec
ommends some kind of outdoor work, saying that il
is "good both for the mind and body and is unlikely
to cause trouble through competition"
No one will dispute that the system advocated
by Mr. Grubb is excellent, and most people will
admit that the time is coming when it will be uni.
versay adopted but it probably will be many years
before this will be brought about Outside the few
who have devoted considerable thought to the ques.
ton, the idea of punishment, severe and uncompro
missing, for those who have offended against the
law, is sort of fetish. Even an occasional judge
enunciates the phrase hard labor" with gusto and
unction and this being the much education is
necessary before the reformatory idea will take root
and grow among the masses. Mr.. Grubbs parhph
let can be read with profit by all interested in the
subject

POSSIBLY it is good thing to be well informed
regarding the affairs of your neghbors but certainly
it is much better to mind your own business. This
is truth that lifetime fails to impress on some
socaled men, It is sad fact that the pitable grey
haired busybody is about as common spectacle as
his younger brother. He is bigger nuisance than
the latter, because of the respect his years COM
mand.
The man that minds his own business is pretty
sure to be contented with his lot even if he is not
always deliriously happy. He respects himself and
consequently is respected by his fellows He is
usually successful in business because he devotes to
his affairs the time and grey matter the meddler
wastes the affairs of others, and the principal
factor of worldly is thought and
persistent work, and plenty Of it.
The man that minds his own business is in
variaby popular and usually has friends worthy
of the name. This is largely due to the fact that
he is not knocker, that he doesn't deal in scandal
gossip: nor does he strive to be sarcastic. The
person with bitter tongue may make others fear
him. but they will hate him at the time and if
ever the hour that he is in trouble and needs
friends he will find that the world repays sneers and
nasty speeches with interest

fights? Why the curious party who rushes out half
dressed to what is going on, of course It seems
as tho Mother Nature herself has an antipathy to
the busybody. He is marked for trouble from the
cradle to the grave
Cast about among your acquaintance and see
what sort of a man he is whom you most admire and
respect. Isn't it who works quietly and steadily
doing his duty and taking his pleasures without
bluster or bravado, who makes it a practice tc
attend to his affairs and pass up the affairs Of
others? Assuredly it is. It is certainty not
meddler who spends part of his time prying into
things which do not concern him in the least, and
the balance in retailing petty gossip malignant
lies as the may be-for the busybody is always
scandalmonger. Such creature couldn't win the
respect of gorilla.
Meddling, like most habits, grows rapidly, start
ing as mild and harmless form of curiosity anc
finally becoming ruling passion. But, on the
other hand the habit of minding ones own business
also grows and is amenable to cultivation tits within
the power OF every man to choose which of the twt
methods he will adopt and follow-to decide whethe
he will check the inclination to pry into his neigh
bors' affairs, or whether he will become busybody
and disgrace to his .
