Prevention and Reformation.
n the Editor of The Journal:

Appropriate to the effort being made to
interest the legislature of Minnesota in
the duty of establishing distinct re
formatory for women. are the words OF
Charlton T. Lewis, president OF the New
Jersey State Charities Aid association, in
speaking of the similar need of New Jer-
sew. before q conference of charities. re-
Gently held in Orange N. j.. Mr.. Lewis
said: ~ ...s =.~5- -..r-
1.-THE first duty which society has to
assume a scientific attitude toward crime
is to turn straight around and look to the
future 1t is not to say. How shall pun
ish a man.? but How shall l protect So
ciety hereafter from such acts as this?
This is the new idea. the idea out Of
which the demand for n reformatory
comes" And in discussing the all i'm
portant question, How shall we treat
them?'' Mr.. Lewis says: Give them first
of all a motive which shall be with them
and aid in their refor <stion. The first
essential of a reformatory is that its mo-
tive shall be given to the inmates. No
motive is so helpful for man as the
knowledge that upon his own conduct de-
ponds his own future; that he holds the
key to his own prison in his own pocket.
This principle has been applied in many
states with results which are uniform and
magnificent, but in almost every instance
the application of this principle has been
confined to men, women not having en-
loved the benefit of it. The women who
have been unfortunate enough to violate
! the law and to make themselves amenable
for its discipline have been. allowed to be-
come, by passion, by dishonesty, quite as
often the victims as they do the malicious
cause Of their own crime, and yet society
has been herd to them. and all the appli-
cations have been made with men in the
Ereforma tory. system. ~
.tWomen are*arnore sensitive to- the de-
| grading Influences Of the present. prisons
and jails, and also more anienable. to- the
uplifting ones of the reformatorN.
Mr.. Lewis has thus condensed a vast
amount of saving philosophy in his dis
cussion Of the. rights OF women to an
equal chance with men In the onporttlni-
tiles which shall be afforded them to work
out their own redemption. The question
| which should burden the, consciences. of
painstalSing legislators is. Why. should
Minnesota continue to neglect the dis
charge Of the plain duties of public guard
| ianship in her dealings with female Of

senate finance committee. The present
time is an opportune one in which TO
furnish the legislature with evidence that
there is an earnest interest in the COM
pletion of this neglected link in the sys-
tenn of public correction, and the aban-
donment of the unjust discrimination
against femal e offenders in the admins
tration of justice. The present system of
fines whereby Immunity from prosecution
is assured, is an offence which dissraccs
any state which is responsible for it, and
in effect is an auction of privileges to
violate the law.
AS long as there is no better plan for
the detention and treatment of women
who are convicted in our courts. than the
jaiIs and work houSes it would better serve
the social welfare to permit all to escape
the notice of the guardians of the public
peace. .-:,r--;s.

Judge Dickinson had heard this tale
before, Milk dealers whose Stock I'm trade

the plea that they own Holstein cattle;

The judge therefore sent Inspector Mccall
forth with instructions to procure sam

than the article which had failed to pass

PLANTS FOR THE
 WINDOW GARDEN.

window garden in which flowers and plants are prettily contrasted adds beauty to the plainest room and is an amending source of pleasure to its caretaker, besides affording an who look upon it that restful enjoyment which growing things produce.
 The average owner of window garden likes hardy plants that give the best re- suits with the least amount of attention.
 Airy green foliage in the window, messed about the blooming plants and forming a fringe for the outer edges, lends lightness and grace and forms charming setting for towering plants. One of the most satisfac- tory plants for this. purpose is the sweet allyssum, whose delicate sprays of green. starred over at all times with fragrant white blossoms, withstand every sort of atmos- phere untoward to flower growth and bios. som cheerfuly and luxuriantly, whatever the temperature of the room. In frnges and borders. its beauty Is enhanced by the cen trast of sprays of green Wandering Jew, an- other hardy creeper. This becomes vine like in the length of Its sprays when planted In bottles of water. Schoolgirls are fond of ifs touch of green life in their rooms, and fond of 1t also because It forgives neglect and will grow serenely on long after an empty bottle has entailed suffering upon the plant. Less hardy, bnt still easy to grow. are the feathery asparagus ferns. which throw mesh of green fairy lace to catch the sunbeans that stray into the window These will grow the year around in not 9r basket. and will withstand dry atmosphefe
