PRISONER HAD HUMoR.

While some prisoners in Helsing-
fors (Finland) Jail were engaged in
executing work ON the prison roof,
one of them, professional electri-
clan, noticed that telephone wires
passed close by the window of his
cell. Obtaining, nobody knows how.
a telephone apparatus, he managed
to make junction with the wires
and obtained local telephone direc-
tory. He commenced calling up on
the telephone all his friends and ac-
quaintances. When these chats at
last tired him, he began to "call''
the entire prison administration, up
to the governor. The telephone
worked for about fortnight, but
was finally accidentally discovered

DEGREES OLD SCHOOL MANNER
According to This Woman There Is
No Occasion for Regret at
Their Passing.

people talk about the decay Of
manners, but it is good thing that
some manners have decayed," said
a woman whose memory goes back
to times that other people only read
OF. "Old school manners in the fam.
lily we can very well get on without.
The manners of the old school ia
ther were those of despot, gracious
and benevolent in some cases, but
more commonly the reverse. The
manners of the mother were those of
an ambassadress. and the manners
of the elder brother or elder sister
were those of the head of depart
ment of state. These were the more
important offices, and below them
were sub-offices, and each one was
administered with degree of
tyranny that was made endurable
only by the fact that those who suf-
fered could retaliate on members of
the family one degree lower in rank.
When there was no more family
upon whose heads vengeance could
be wreaked, the domestic regions
were harassed for such opportunities
for inflicting suffering as they might
offer. IT'S distance lends enchant-
ment to such manners. They would
not bear close inspection"

serve the thousandth year of his
passing. Then came the question .
Was he worthy? Scholars grew
busy, and presently assured us tina,
he was. So we picked out con-
venient time somewhere near the
millennial year, erected our statues,
and listened to our orators. More
recently, we began to have our
doubts Of Joan of Arc. After burn
ing her heretical body, our ancestors
had concluded that she was s~hero-
inc, perhaps saint. But the mat
ter was carelessly left for final settle
ment until our more critical era. We
had the usual investigation with the
usual result. Joan was all right.
And she's going to be real saint, if
the documents hold out. Some
celebrities. of course. are not so for
tunate. More than one of the
Pharaohs have been compelled to see
their falsely inscribed honors trans
fcrred to other hands.

DR.. William Tell Kudlich has
brought to the notice of the health
board of Hoboken, N. j., plan for
exterminating the mosquito, which
consists in planting mosquito-infest-

a native of Africa. In a short time
it covers marshy land with a layer
three inches thick, thus both suffo-

FROWNED ON PUBLIC SMOKING
Restaurant In Moral New York Re-
fused to Countenanee the
Proceeding.

At a New York restaurant where
good beer and German dishes are
the chief attractions, man and two
women, evidently his wife and
daughter, were guests one evening
recently. 1t was after the theater
hour, and the place was almost full.
When they had finished their bite the
man drew cigarette case from his
pocket, handed it to the elder wom-
an, and then both began to smoke.
Presently waiter went to the table
and Informed the people that women
must not smoke in the place. Both
man and woman seemed to be as
tonished and asked why. The pro-
prietor advanced and said: "It il
considered improper" The couple
explained that this was their first
visit to the country, and the man
wanted to know whether his wife
had committed an offense also by
joining him in a drink. The dialogue
ended by the strangers accepting the
proprietor's invitation to his apart
ment, where his wife, who. had wit
messed the scene, made the strangers
comfortable by offering cigarettes
and joining them in the smoke. She
said to the strangers 81 think as
