To Parole Prisoners.

A new law is to go into effect
May 10Th. A dispatch recently
sent out from Salem gives a clear
idea of what may be in store for
a prisoner if he be not too bad.
The article referred to is as fol-
lows:
Oregon's experiment with the
parole system in the punishment
and reformation of criminals will
begin on the 10Th, of this month,
when the acts of the last Legis-
lature upon this subject will take
place.
Two acts were passed, one au-
thorizing the Circuit Judge to pa
role prisoner at the time of pass
ing sentence, and the other au-
thoriziug the Circuit Judge to
sentence the defendant for an in
definite period and empowering
the Governor to parole him for
good behavior after he has served
the minimum time prescribed by
law. An indefinite sentence will
expire by limitation of law when
the prisoner has served the mini
mum time provided as a penalty
for the ofense.
The new laws are expected to
accomplish two resu1ts-encour-
age men to reform, and relieve
the state of the burden of main
tanning them in prison. The pa
role system is intended, of course,
to be resorted to only where the
the offender is not confirmed
criminal and will probably moi
violate the law again if given his
freedom. A large proportion 0.
men now confined IN the peniten.
tiary are confirmed criminals ano
many have been sentenced te
terms in prison two or three times
There are manv, nevertheless
such as those now on the trusty
list, who would be safe if turned
loose to go where they please.
j Hereafter, whena man is fouue
lguilty of a crime for which h'
may be punished by imprison
ment in the penitentiary from
two to ten years, for example
the Judge may pass sentence ii
one or two ways. He may sen
tence him to a definite tern O
Imprisonment. He may sentenc
!, him to a definite term of i'm
| prisonment and then make al
: order pardoning him during goot
!, behavior. He may sentence hin
: to an indl6nite term of imprison
} ment and leave the matter of pa
/, role to the discretion of the Gov
5 ernor after the minimum term 9

QUEEN BEES WORTH 5000 EACH
Some of the Italian Insects Are Elk
tremeIY Valuable

Just as there are valuable strains
in horses. cattle and other stocks, so
there are varieties of queen bees
which are worth many hundred times
their weight in gold. The most vaiu-
able strain. says the New York
Herald. is the Italian, and many Ital-
ian bee farmers demand and receive
without question prices ranging from
$50 to $500 for a single queen bee of a
certain kind Such bees are sent all
over the world.
The owner of a bee farm near OF
tawa. Can. goes to Europe annually
and brings back with him bees of an
aggregate value of thousands OF
pounds. He is enabled through the
agency of an Italian firm to effect an
insurance upon the most valuable OF
his queens.
This bee farmer has many strang
experiences in connection with the
assistants he is obliged to engage. OF
course all bee keepers must submit to
certain amount of singing. But
in some cases the poison in the sting
/ acts directly upon the assistants and
makes them alarmingly ILL., Others
are immune, though ltung hundreds ol
! times.
1 Bee farmers are often applied to b,
persons suffering from rheumatism
who wish to place themselves in the
way OF being stung. And. strange as
it may seem. the virus of the bee stine
does often act as cure to persons
suffering from serious attacks of rheu
matism.

Economical John chinaman.

An amusing trait of the Chinese
character is pointed out in the last
report of the British consul at Foo
chow, says the London Daily Mail
British company started a match
factory to compete against the Jap
anese. 1t seemed to prosper, and then
stopped.
All the consul drily remarks is. TT
would be well, however, If they bore
in mind that the Chinaman not only
counts the number OF matches in a
box, but also takes into consideration
the number of those that break in
striking or fail to ignite, these being
the complaints brought against the
matches hitherto turned out by the
company"

Washington was the Soul of the

which excludes all partisan and sec.
tional prepossessions and bias His
Dgure seems to grow more and more

set apart for the great work he ac-
complished. and success was achieved
against announcements which would
have palsied the efforts of a leader

dent and hopeful. All the elements OF
his success are past discovering in
an age so far removed from him in
time. DR.. S. Weir Mitchell in his
University Day" address. said:
Nothing as yet written about Wash.
ington makes clear how he won
through seven years of distressful
days. The biographers say
he was not this and he was not that,
and do not explain him. except to tell
us that he was man of well balanced
faculties and of common sense. Not
thus would Tacitus have painted him.
The very difficulty of explaining this
is one reason why | leave him to their
verdict, and say that If common sense
explains his life, it was common sense
lifted to the level of genius"
Washington living presence might
explain his wonderful mastery over
men. Edward Everett Hale, in his
Life of Washington, remarks that his
determination TO succeed is the secret
of the success of the seven years war.
There is no moment of Washing

tai army in which. however black the
surroundings. he does not express his
confidence of a result such as he de,

COYOTES VS.. SAGE CHICKENS.
Dispute As to Which Kills Wyoming
Grasshoppers.

a Cheyenne dispatch says that the
dispute which has been in progress in
Wyoming for several weeks as to
whether sage chickens eat grasshop-
pers, has brought out a rather sur
prising statement on the part of Sid
Winship Of Sundance. Wyoming. as to
the reason for the increase of grass
hoppers in certain sections of the
state
Winship says that the killing OF sage
chickens has had nothing to do with
the increase of grasshoppers, but that
the killing of coyotes has been re-
sponsihle for the phenomenon. He
states that coyotes eat an enormous
number Of grasshoppers during the
warm months, and that the placing of
a bounty on coyotes is equivalent to
the placing of a premium ON grasshop-
pers Frequently he has opened the
stomachs of coyotes and found them
Allied with thousands of grasshoppers
which the sly beasts had staliIed and
uevoured.
The DO Sage Chickens Eat Grass
hoppers" dispute was started by bill
introduced in the Legislature to pro-
tect sage chickens for period of
years, the author of the bill maintain
ing that the killing of sage chickens in
some sections had resulted in such
an enormous increase in grasshoppers
that the range was being destroyed.
Sportsmen objected to entirely doing
away with the open season on chick
ems, and since the bill was introduced

Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees

Therefore. the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North

The sleeping rooms should be well

currents of air.
Bsfhing.
Those in vigorous health should take
n cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take brisk dry-towel-
rub every morning.
Diet.
The diet should be generous one,
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
should be let into the house during
the day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm

Pe-rg-na.
