IN A RUSSIAN PRISON.
A Woman Socialist Relates Some of
 Her Experiences.

From the Chicago News.
 Some of her recent experiences in St Petersburg prison are described by an educated Russian woman socialist as fol- lows: We had no papers. but, although we were in prison cells away from the world, we knew almost all about the political events of the day; our relatives who came to see us managed to tell us news through the double iron frame, notwithstanding the eager eye of the inspector. Electricity went out and told us about the general strike; we lacked milk and meat One night we heard dis tinctly the cheers and the songs of the procession passing before the prison. But the most horrible sign that told us the plain truth were the soldiers stationed in the prison yard adjacent to the one which we used for our walks. Every evening while the cries of our comrades in the streets came nearer and nearer towards the gray building of the prison, we saw the soldiers ranging themselves before the street gate, and we head the officer giving order, 'ro arms" and we thought of the innocent blood that might be shed in the desperate effort to free us
 I've could see the soldiers faces dis tinctly from behind our barred windows.

and one day we could stand 1t no more. we opened the -indows and spoke to them. Leaning or the cold iron frames, young girls harangued the soldiers, im- ploring them not to fire on the people, but to join the cause of freedom. Things that could hardly be said outside a prison were heard here and the prison authori- ties did not dare to repress us. The next day we recommended our propaganda and kept it up every day.
 Early one morning we were told by the ward mistress to prepare our luggage, for we were to go out of prison. In the office, while getting back our books and our money, we were told that an amnesty was ordered by his majesty Then they released us. A red banner was waved by one of the girls the very moment she crossed the prison threshold, a banner that she had sewn in great secret in her cell and concealed under her cloak while crossing the yard.

 zine"
 The medicinal properties of books have long been known to the learned. and they are a favorite topic of old philosophers and students. That quaint old specialist on melancholy, Robert Burton, in his famous Anatomy of Melancholy extols reading as of all remedies the most eff cacious. or is," says he, the best nepenthe. surest cordial, sweetest alter ative, presentest diverter," and he gath CTS together, in his quaint way. the tes- tmonials of all manner of men. kings and saints and poets, telling us how Garden calls library "the physick of the soul,' how Ferdinand and Alphonsus, kings of Aragon and Sicily, were both cured by reading the history, one of Curtius, the other of Livy, when no prescribed phys iclk'' was of avail and so on. The Scrip lures he compares to "an apothecary s shop, wherein are remedies for all in- firmities, purgatlves, cordals, alternatives, corrobora tives and lenitiVes."
 l am not aware that any doctor has as yet undertaken the systematic literary treatment of disease, but I am convinced, and indeed, it is easy to see, that such treatment is not only feasible, but likely, with the advance of mental science; to take an important place among those methods for the allevation of human suf- fering, of which we cannot have too many. When the science, for which I merely throw out few suggestions, shall have become definitely organized, the library will take the place of the dispensary and, instead of giving us pre- scriptions composed of nauseous drugs. the physician will write down the titles of delightful books-books tonic or mar cotie stimulative or sedative, as our need may be.
 Books then, in addition to their circu- lation merely as literature, will enjoy, also. the broadcast publication of patent medicines and be advertised according ly. In the publishers columns the press notices of a certain book will contain not only the opinions of the literary critics, but the testimonials, also, of the highest medical authorities. The question asked of a new book then, will be not merely how well it Is written. but also for what complaint it is the latest remedy. Chronic invalids will scan the literary columns in hope of a new rostrum. Writers. too, who fall short somewhat of the high lit erary qualities, may find consolation in this medical usefulness. MT.

the whole history of horse speeding
more beautiful and more exciting than
first-class trotting race. Whether it
is on the decline or not I am not pre-

as any enc who knew anything of those

1t does seeLa as if the breeding of

IN THE HEAT OF POLO.

! Island yard. He had a chance to de
/ velop himself in the navy, SO that whe1
he quit the service he WASH t ba0
sort of a man, although none of US il
the navy ever counted him anywhere
! near the first class.
! % was serving on board the Phila
/ delphia when Sharkey was sent to hel
| from the old Independence guards al
Mare Island. Nobody on board knew
anything about his being a fighter, al
/ though he looked chunky and able to
/ take care of himself.
'Sharkey had the mitts on in the
open space between the gangways not
long after he joined the Philadelphia
| but there were several big men on
board who had no great trouble in
putting it on Sharkey. He was vicious
in these just-for-fun bouts, however,
! especially after having to stand for a
few taps from the other fellnw that
stung him bit, anil several times he
bulled in as if for blood and laid his
man out.
After that they gradually began to
be afraid of him on account of his tenn
per and his strength, and passed him
along in the gangway bouts after
knock-off in the afternoon. Sharkey
became unpopular among the men of
the Philadelphia on account Of his
craggy temper, which he seemed to
make no effort to overcome; so a num-
Der of them began to snoOp around on
board the other ships trying to find a
man capable of licking him.
They put man after man up against
Sharkey in the gangway bouts, but the
Irishman was coming so fast, with
steady practise on board ship, that he
put them all away easily.
'When the Philadelphia got down to
Honolulu for a long stay in Hawaiian
waters the men on board the ship who
had it in for Sharkey did something
that has been done only two or three
times previously in the history of navy
scrapping; they put Sharkey up against
a ringer.
"The ringer was a gigantic Portu-
guese-Kanaka, half and half of each of
those bloods, and the champion slugger
of the Hawaiian Islands. This giant
was rugged up in a bluejacket uniform,
and it was given out that he was the
star fighter of another American man
o'-war then in Honolulu harbor.
The hight took place on Doard the
Philadelphia. It lasted only two min
utes of the first round, and then Shar-
key landed on the Hawaiian giant 8
jaw, and the ringer went down like
typhoon uprooted date palm and
never came to until he was sneaked
ashore in the steam cutter.
''That was the last of Sharkey s
fights in the navy. They didn' It try
after that to get him licked. His time
was up soon after, and he quickly took
rank as one of the good heavyweights
of the country. 1t was the incessant
practise that Sharkey got in the navy
with men pretty nigh his equal In
strength, and plenty of them his SUI
periors in boxing, that sent him along
so fast when he shed his bluejackeS
uniform. He says so himself, and he
ought to know
