The Heipin. Word.

There was a certain old woman who
was a constant and devout attendant
at church. Her husband died, and her
pastor called upon her to comfort her in
her sad bereavement.
"Well, my good woman" the pastor
remarked, '.in your bitter trial hope
you have found some ray Of comfort
from the Scriptures"
Indeed 1 have, dominic" was the
confident though fearful reply.
That's grand, sister," exclaimed the
parson sympathetically, but tell me
what passage Of the word helped you
most"
"Grin and bear It."

"omit the Third st.n...,

Mabelle had been unusually quiet at
church one Sunday. She was generally
a very restless listener. Her mother,
noticing 1t, asked her:
What made you so good during serv-
Ice this morning, daughterT
'T was thinking" answered the child,
"why the people who write hymns al
ways put something bad in them that
the minister can't let the people sing.
He always says omit the third or
some other stanza, and he says it over
twice, SO they'll be sure not to sing 1t,
SO it must be something wicked New

Monkey and Parrot In pra.,,.

In Brazil monkeys and parrots have
Interests IN common. They not only
roost In the same trees, but work for
mutual benefit. The monkeys cannot
easily pick the big Brazil nut husks
from the trees, so the parrots gnaw
them loose, allowing them to drop, the
fall to the ground splitting them. Then
the monkeys tear the cracked husks
asunder, gather the nuts and divide
them with the parrots Sometimes,
when the husks fail to split, the mon
keys carry them up to the highest
limbs Of the tree and let them drop
again. Monkey and parrot enjoy their
harvest side by side

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
Scott's Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

An innovation that has been success
fully attempted in the famous French
penitentiary at Fresnes Is attracting
widespread attention among authorities
on criminal subjects and is hailed by
them one Of the most beneficial adj
vances In the treatment Of prisoners that
has taken place in a generation.
It consists in the work done by the So
oiety for Lecturing in Prisons, which ex-
lists in Paris and which frequently sends
lecturers to address prisoners upon various
topics looking to their ultimate reforrna-
ton.
The most interesting part Of It all is
the way in which the lectures are deliv-
cred and how every prisoner can see and
hear the person addressing them without
being seen by their fellow prisoners and
without being: able to hold any communi-
cation with each other.
The picture here given illustrates the
plan followed and 1t Is at once q most
The lectures are given in great, hall,
on one side Of which, reaching almost to
the roof are what appear to be number
Of steps.
These closer inspection prove to be
rows of boxes. with openings in them
about four inches high, thru which can
be seen the heads Of the audience.
In this peculiar manner the convicts
are enabled to see and hear the lecturer,
but communication of any nature between
them is impossible.
The wisdom Of such a, course becomes
apparent when it is said that mutual
recognition on release is impossible
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1903-10-21

The prisoners in this picture are listen
ing to lecture on the evil effects and
consequences of drunkenness, the most
important influence contributing to the
commission Of crime, and It Is said on
authority that such lectures have had a
most Statutory effect upon criminals and
that crime is on the decrease in France.
In the future they are to be given not
only with greater frequency but in q
larger number Of prisons.
The new French penitentiary at Fresnes,
by the way Is a model institution.
It Is situated about eight miles from
Paris, and is the largest prison in the
world. It Is made up Of five huge rec
tangular blocks, and with its gardens and
Warders' quarters covers an area Of over
half a square mile. It has accommoda-
lions for 1000 criminals.
The prison at Fresnes Is situated In a
healthy district, and it's large windows
freely admit the fresh air and sunshine.
It is provided with hot baths and shower
baths, and each and every one Of it's 1000
spacious cells Is lit by electricity. Author
tiles say that it presents the greatest
contrast to the old order of things than
can be imagined.
And no less different from the ancient
methods is the one employed in treating
and caring for the prisoners. Their food
Is wholesome and abundant. They go to
school, and they are allowed to work
at trades and to purchase with the money
SO earned many luxuries, and everything
Is done in accordance with the best prin-
ciples and the highest motives to develop
heir better instincts '>'- 49,

A DEFENSE OF NEW ZEALAND

10 the Editor of The Journal.
In an address to the recent convention
of the Furniture Association Of America
d. M. Parry, president of the national as
ISOLATION of manufacturers, said what was
reported In T h j o u rna as follows:
Parry then pointed cut That the public debt
per capital in Australia was s263.9o and in New
figures to the $12.27 per capita indebtedness of
the United States. The speaker declared that
emigration into New Zealand had practically
ceased. and that Its birth rate is only slight
fraction higher than it was in 1890. And yet,
said he, this is the boosted country without
strikes the home of compulsory arbitration,
land tax and I don't know what all. The
prophecy is. freely made that 1t is rushing head
long into bankruptcy despite all it's efforts to
lift itself by its boot straps, it were, into
the millennium. Do you gentlemen want any
this country? Yet you being asked to-day
by many influential gentlemen to adopt concilia-
! tton and arbitration Of a more or less compul-
sorry character.
called this report to the attention OF
q George Fowlds, a member Of the New
Zealand house Of representatives, and
he sends me the following in answer to
Mr. Parry. E. G. Erickson.
Minneapolis.
My attention has been directed to re-
port in The Minneapolis Journal Of a
speech delivered by David M. Parry OF
indianapolis, at a meeting of the Furniture
association Of America, on July q last,
in which Mr.. Parry makes reference to
New Zealand social conditions. do not
propose to traverse the statements Of Mr..
Parry on the general question of trade
unionism further than to say that I agree
with him that natural law must shape the
destinies Of the race, and that any VIOLA
ton of natural law, whether by organized
: labor or organized capital. must work for
the destruction of the race. But it is use
less to object to labor organizations, or
to their artificial methods of endeavoring
to secure for themselves a larger proper
ton of the product Of their labor than they
receive, under the present artificial con-
ditions of society. 1t is useless to talk OF
a free contract in a condition Of society
where the natural law Of free access to
natural opportunities Is denied to the
workers. 1t is like setting man to fight
with his hands tied behind his back, while
his opponent has club in his hand ]

In February last Judge Grosscup OF the
United States circuit court granted a tenn
porary injunction to restrain the beef COM
bine from doing those things mentioned
above, against which an injunction was
asked.
Some success has been achieved in pre-
venting the giving Of rebates by railroads
to their shippers, including the beef trust.
but the beef trust people are understood
to have appealed from the decision Of the
circuit court, and, as stated In the edi-
torial referred to, little has been accom-
plished thus far in the way of effective
prevention OF the nefarious practices of
this combination.
