CHANGE IN PEN
 MANAGEMENT
That is One of the Reforms That Win Be Insisted Upon ny Members of the Next Legislaturc-Senato Johnson of Lincoln Fayors the Change.

The aholishing Of the present sys- tenn of penitentiary management seems certain to be one of the mat ters to be brought before the next General Assembly, says the Little Rock Gazette. The recommendation of pr. Moore, for four years president of the board, that committee should be appointed to have charge of the administration of the affairs of the institution has given new impetus to the suggestion which has been made a number of times during recent years. IL is known that Governor elect Donaghey favors a change in the form of administration of the affairs of the penal institution on the ground that State officers have not the time to give to the proper discharge of duties as complex and pressing as those involved in the penitentiary management
 It is also found that large num- Der of the members of the coming Legislature are in favor of a change in the method of Management. State

 fly in the reconciliation of the world. The chief sting of worry of mind ami body is the kernel of sin therein con- tained Remove the cause and the effect will cease. The human heart, however, seeks sympathy in times Of great sorrow or great joy. It seeks to unburden itself. Whatever success may attend the workings of the Chris tian Science, the Emanuel or other similar movements comes from this unburdening fthe wearied mind and the soothing influence of kindly and intelligent sympathy.
 But the unhappy persons should be protected in their act of disclosing their inner life by the most sacred obligations of ministerial office The christian churches who intend to use such a thing should dignify it by q sacramental name and character. The influences spoken of by the apostles of Christian science and of the Eman- ual moyement have been known for centuries in the Catholic church.

Monsignor j. M. Lucy preached the germon at high mass last Sunday at St. Josephs church. The text was the Epistle read at the mass St. Paul to the Romans, chapter 13, verses 1 to A. In explanation of the words: ;: -.Know that it is now the hour to rise from sleep,' allusion was made to the strenuous efforts of the var ious christian churches to awaken their members to a better realiza- Non of the greatness and grandeur of eumbent necessity resting upon every christian to be alive to the extensions of the wonderful influences of chris tianity. Among the means enumer- ated as employed by different churches to effect this purpose is what is called the Emanuel move ment which was inaugurated in the Protestant Episcopal church and is extending to other Protestant churches. Among other things Mon signor Lucey said
 Unless such movement is conSi1- cred to be only a passing fad and something that is to exert no lasting appreeiable influence on the unrest of the christian world now manifest. ing itself, it is neee ssary for the pro- moters to look ahead and see where they will be inevitably led, The Emannal movement though akin to Christian science. is not the same Both however look to the influence of the human mind upon the human body and seek to reach the diseases of the body through the mind, It feast in great aar, Thete is no doubt that there are many srains O. truth contained in this principle.

Arithmetic Made Easy.

The class in business arithmetic in
one of the New York evening schools
is made up wholly of men who WELD
the pickax and push the shovel during
the day. These men are ambitious to
improve their minds. and the fact that
they give up their evenings to study
shows that they appreciate the value
Of a trained mind. But they are pa.
thetically stupid in some things.
"On the first evening" said the
teacher, Il asked the class: How
much Is six times two? There was no
apparent desire to shirk the question,
but no amount OF head scratching or
knitting OF brows could bring forth
an answer.
"T'n put the question In another

paying you at the rate of two dollars
a day, how much do you get at the

Every man had his hand up.
