Curious COrean Laws.

It is doubtful if there is any
code of laws which is more curious
or less complex than the Corean.
Here, for example, is one of it's
curious features: Article 234
ordains that sentence of fifteen
years imprisonment shall be i'm
posed on any official who enters
the imperial place at Seoul and
fails to close the door after him.
That the code is not complex, ar
ticle GIL shows, since it is appli-
cable to every kind of crime.
"Forty blows with stick, itsays,
"are to be inflicted on all those
who do what they ought not to
do" An easier and simpler way
of awarding punishment could
hardly be imagined.-Ex.

Reform in Prison Life.

Pekin, May GA recent memo
rial presented by WI Ting Fang,
former minister at Washington,
has just been confirmed. Whip
ping as punishment is abolished
and imprisonment, with hard
labor, is substituted for minor
offenses. Young offenders will be
confined separately from confirmed
criminals, and they will be taught
some trade. Prisoners will be fed
by the government.
The memorial refers to Ameri-
can and European laws, showing
the bad results of whipping and
the great improvement due to
lighter punishments and the en-
pIoyment of prisoners at useful
trades. Elk.

For a Prison Site.

George 81. Atwood has offered a
site for the state prison addition
that has been provided for by the
legislature. So far that is the
only offer made altho there are
other suitable farms near the
city. The Board of Control has
not yet taken up the question but
is waiting for other offers.
The offer of Mr.. Atwood is a
tract of land of over 100 acres. It
is part of the Schulenberg SUBJ
division and is less than half a
mile north of the present prison.
It includes homestead and other
buildings of Lewis Hospers estate
It is just north of Browns creek
and extends to what would be
North Main street if extended.
Mr.. Atwood offers the farm very
cheap. 1t Is situated on a bluff
overlooking the St. Croix and ex.
tends back along the line of the
Northern Pacific railway. On the
farm are two large springs Of
water.-Stillwater Gazette.
