Prisons IN Japan.

Prisons in Japan resemble large coun-
try houses with many outbuildings and
do not. either in the solidity or details
of their construction. wear q paniten-
tiary aspect. The Prisoners get food
in proportion to their conduct and in
dustry. Those Who do not behave
will get a cake of rice, which must last
them seven days. For the deserving it
IS the ration for but fou:' days, and
they get with it also Z little horse
meat and potato or pea sauce. The
labor Is compulsory, but not severe,
and the prisoner gets part of his earn
ings, though it amounts to little. Ihe
discipline is military, and serving a
term in prison does not impose an IN
delible stigma. Systematic efforts are
made to improve the prisoners. All the
youths under nineteen years pass two
hours each Gay in school. Even when
their term of sentence is over they can
not be released till 4 surety is found
for their subsequent good behavior.
Till this is provided they must remain
in prison and may do so fer indefinite
periods.

The Gallery Gods, Applause.

Lawrence Barrett once told Of q
conversation he had with Edwin Booth.
The. latter had been congratulated up
on an ovation given him by crowded
house. on the opening night Of an en-
gagement. THE sweetest music to my
ears" said the, great .tragedian, "is the
shouting Of the boys in the gallery. /
know they are not applauding because
I have reputation Or because they
wish to make display. They simply
give vent to their natural enthusiasm.
When they shout know that I am
giving good performance. AS for the
parquet, it may clap its hands out OF
noliteness. A dramatic critic who had
certain notions as to how a line should
be read will applaud if I read it his:
way; otherwise he will remain quiet.
I can never analyze the applause OF
the front rows, but the gallery is sin
cere in its likes or dislikes."

Which Eye Is Stronsers

Here is a little test for your eyes
that will soon show you which Of them
is the stronger. Place an object about
two inches in diameter on level with
your eyes and move back from it about
ten feet. Then point to it and take
sight along the top of your pointing
finger until the object and the tip Of
your finger are exactly in line with
the eye from which you are sighting.
Next open the other eye and see if the
object seems to have moved from the
straight line. If it has not moved to
one side apparently, the eye with which
you first looked is the stronger, as the
addition Of the others vision does not
change the focus. If the object seems
to have moved, it proves that the other
eye is the stronger, the difference be-
ing measured By the distance that the
object appears to have moved.
Try sighting with both eyes open
first. Then look with first one eye and
then the other and see how fer out OF
line each makes the object appear. The
one that is farthest out Of line is the
weaker eye.-Chicago Journal.

The work of the Heart.

Whether it be true or not that tile
Ecyptians 4.C0O years B. c. discovered
the true functions of the heart and
thus anticipated Harvey, it certainly IS
true that Michael Servitus, whom John
Calvin burned to death at Geneva IN
1858. in his treatise, de Trinitatis
Erroribus," published in 1888, first
maintained the imperviousness Of the
septum and the transition Of blood
from the right ventricle by the pull
monary artery to the lungs, thence
by the pulmonary vein and left auricle
and ventricle and the aorta to all parts
Of the body
More than eighty years later Harvey,
taking up the work Of that great physi-
olegist, completed it, and in bis work,
"Exercitatis de Motu Cords ct San
guinis" (162S), promulgated to the
world his discovery Of the true func-
tons, Of the heart and Of the regular
and periodic circulation Of the blood,
and 1t in nowise ~derogates from his
fame or the merit OF his discovery to
say that it was Michael Servitusr who
pointed the way to this discovery for
him.-New York Times.

Bumps on the Head.

The lump raised by blow on the
head is due to the resistance offered
by the hard skull and its close connec-
ton with the movable elastic scalp by
many circumscribed bands Of connec-
tive tissue.
The result Of O blow, when the scalp
is not cut, is the bruising and lacera-
ton Of many Of the SMALL blood YES
sells or capillaries. Blood or its fluid
constituent, serum, is poured into the
meshes of the surrounding connective
tissue, which is delicate spensy, dis
tensible and cellular, and the well
known bump or lump IS quickly
formed. This cannot push Inward at
all and naturally takes the line Of least
resistance. Similar Jumps may be
formed on the shin in exactly the same
way, for the shin bone also IS covered
only by skin and subcutaneous con-
necdve tissue.

Merry Divorce.

Recently worthy couple Of Zurich,
who had been married for several
years, decided to get a divorce, and no
sooner had the court annulled their
marriage than they proceeded to show
their friends how rejoiced they were
at the news. The two principals went
arm in arm to a leading hotel, where
they ordered a supper for several
guests, and q few hours later merry
party assembled there and did not
break up until after midnight.
Those present say that the gentleman
who had just been freed from his wife
and who. by the way, paid for the sup
per was wonderfully gallant to her
during the entire evening, paying her
moro attention than any other woman,
and that she, too, seemed just as hap
py as though she had just been mar
ried.

Horseaesa md Ree9.

Here are some means of distinguish
ing between horsefesh and beef" said
q meat inspector.
'Raw horsehesh is a brownish red
in color, whereas in raw beef there is
no brown. Raw horsefesh is soft and
tenacious. Touch it, and the finger
sinks in, while as you withdraw the
finger the tissues rise with it and cling
to it, as though intermixed with glue.
But raw beef is not soft nor tenacious
Ia this way. Raw horsehesh, further
more, has an odd, metallic smell.
Cooked horsehesh is denser than
beef. It is as dense as a lump OF
cheese. In taste it is sweet-a sweet
ness sickening, to my mind.
'sThe best test for horsefesh is to
take q piece Of the fat and melt It.
Horse fat will melt to clear oil at so
low a temperature as 70 degrees F.,
but beef fat won't melt to a clear OIL
under temperature of 112 degrees.

The Largest Cities of Antiquity

The greatest cities Of ancient times
we're Babylon and Rome. The former
is said to have had an area Of 100 to
200 square miles. Its houses were
three or four stories high, but palaces
and gardens occupied much of the vast
area, so that the population was not
what these figures would seem to in
d1cate. In fact, it is said by one his
torian that nine-tenths Of this area
was taken up by gardens and orcherds.
The total population Of the city under
NebuchadneZzar and his son Evil Nero
dach is estimated at upward of 2,0OO,-
600. Rome reached its greatest size
during the fourth century Of our era,
and its population was then about
2.5O0OOO.
