Cochran came out of the inner room
and was buttonholed by the crank.
"Tou know I am Mr. Folk myself,
said the man. confidentialIy. and now
Mr.. Mcclellan. couldn't you let me
have a quarter SO we can go down

PRISONERS WELL TREATED.
Jail Life in Japan Is Attended with
Every Inducement to Vol
untary Reform.

Prisons in Japan resemble largs coun-
try houses with many outbuildings, and
do not. either in the soiidity or details
of their construction. wear penitent-
iary aspect. The prisoners get food in
proportion to their conduct and indus
try; 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 four days. and they get with it
also a little horse meat and potato or
pea sauce.
The labor is compulsory, but not Sc
we're. and the prisoner gets part of his
earnings. though it amounts to little.
The discipline is military and serving a
term in prison does not impose an in
delibIe stigma Systematic efforts are
made to improve the prisoners; all the
youths under 10 years pass two hours
each Gay in school, Even when their
term of sentence is over they cannot be
released till a surety is found for their
subsequent good behavior Till this is
provided they must remain in prison and
may 90 so for indefinite periods.
OF late societies have been formed to
care for the prisoners and keep them
under observation after they have been
restored to society Jail life there is ac-
,ompanied by all the ameliorations of
which it admits without impairing its
disciplinary and reformatory character.
and when it is over the convict has
new chance in life. with no disabilities
that diligence and good conduct may not
overcome.
