An Irishman who was out of

captain if he could find him work
on the ship.

same time handing the Irishman
a piece of rope, eff you can find
three ends to that rope, you shall
have some work."
The Irishman got hold of the
end of the rope. and showing it to
the captain, said: "That's one
end, your honor" Then he took
hold of the, other end, and, show
ing it to the captain as before.

Librarians ReQi$ter.

The number of books drawn
from the prison library for the
month of January was 1856. The
number drawn for December was
2,372. As a whole there is very
little change in the kind of litera-
ture read, for each inmate seems to
prefer his favorite topic. Seventy
three bookslfon travels were &C.
lected in December, and the same
number in January.
The books read during the
month werellclassified as follows:
Fiction, 1885,: Magazines, 1868;
History, 173;IScience, 252; Biog-
raphy. 81 ;;::Travels,::73; Poetry, e.;
and Religion, 20.

thwarting the expressed wish of
twenty-five members and humiliat-
ing one who was making his initial
bow before the circle. This action
brought on considerable discussion
and the final result was one mem
ber's giving notice that he would
offer a substitute for article five of
the bylaws, which provides in
what manner an extension of time
may be allowed.
Under the head of new business
critic for the next two months

mitted an application for men,

that the terrible CD strain of writ
ing papers as often as once in four
months might be alleviated, it was
suggested by an enthusiast in class
A that every effort be put forth to
increase the membership. "To
this end," the president replied,
"everything is being done;"
whereupon lowness of spirit was
seen to illumine the countenance
of him who sought to lessen life's
burden.
The discussion of papers was
lax, which was no doubt due to
the fact that the subjects treated
did not arouse any material differ
ence of opinion. Following is the

School Report.

The monthly school report sub
mitted to Warden Wolfer by Dep
uty Warden Glennon, is as follows:
The number of sessions held dur
ing the month of January were
thirteen. At the beginning of the
month the attendance was III; the
average, ia; the highest, 178; and
the lowest, III.
During the month the report
shows that 131 of the inmates VOL
UNFAIRLY attended prison night
school, while Al were compelled to
attend. Five of the scholars were
permanently excused from attend
ance, and seven were excused tenn
porarily. Ten pupils were enrolled
during the month, which makes
the attendance higher than any
previous time during the history
of the night school.
Out of total of one hundred
and seventy-eight pupils, only
two were reported during January
for lack of interest in their studies
