American Prison Methods Best.

DIR. Elizabeth Chesser is advocating
the adoption of American prison meth.
DDS among the English women pris-
oners. She points out that In many of
the American institutions for women
emphasis is most strongly laid ON the
reformatory side, and the inmates are
taught useful trades so as to enable
them to earn honest livings on OBJ
tanning their freedom. The social in
stincts of the prisoners are cultivated
as a strong aid to reformation. Con-
trary to this, DR.. Chesser notes that
in the English prisons women are
shut up in their cells for the greater
portion of the day, the meals are
eaten there, and in some places the
rules forbid the use of knives and
forks and the women are forced to
tear their food like animals.

Manale Is lndlspensabIe.

A wringing machine in this enlight-
ened age is an indispensable adjunct
to every household.
Not only does 1t save coal-for the
washing is done sooner and gives a
rest to the wrists, hands and arms of
the tired housekeeper-but the clothes
last twice as long as when wrung by
hand, for the water is pressed out
without the fibers of the material be-
ing stretched and strained.
Mangles are like wringers, they save
labor and time. Work the mangle
steadily, not too quickly, and not by
fits and starts. Fresh air is vital me-
cessity to every woman. and no con-
venience that will help her to get
through the household more quickly
and easily should be considered too ex-
pensive.

lean Bison society, which was largely
instrumental in securing the appropri-
alton.
The first person TO spend actual
money in the effort to preserve the
American bison from total extinction
was the late Austin Corbin who many
years ago fenced some 5000 acres at
Blue Mountain Park, n. H.. and Sc
cured herd of bison. The Corbin
herd became in course of time the in
spiration of the national movement
which is now furthered by the Ameri-
can Bison society. This society, of
which President Roosevelt Is honorary
president, and William T. Hornaday,
director of the New York Geological
park, is president, was founded in
1904, and the Montana bison range is
directly the results of its efforts.
Details of the management of the
herd in the new national bison range
will be worked out as soon as the herd
is purchased when the construction
work on fences and buildings will also
be begun.

Gypsy Smith Again

among the poor and ignorant.
When Gypsy Smith was 16 years
old he publicly professed conversion
markable crisis in his life.
He now had an intellectual awaken
ing, and began to hunger for an edu-
cation, and he began to spell out the
short words of his Bible. In time, by
much application. he was able to read
his Bible, and he began to feel that his
life work was to be a preacher.
At II years OF age he was discov-
cred by Gen. William Booth of the
Salvation Army, and he was soon put
in charge of a mission and became
lieutenant, and became in time the
most successful officer the Salvation
Army ever had.
Gypsy Smith has made four tours
in the United States and has held re-
markable meetings in such cities as
New York, Boston, Denver Brooklyn,
Philadelphia, Washington, Ocean
Grove, etc. He has visited Australia
and has packed for many months the
biggest halls in Adelaide, Melbourne,
Sydney and other cities.
When he left Australia 1000 people
went to the vessel 10 say farewell.
Gypsy Smith has made a profound
impression upon England, and he is
the most popular preacher in the
British Isles. He has drawn immense
crowds in the historic church in Man
chester, where the cultivated DR.. Alex
ander McLaren has been the pastor
for one of the most cultured congre.
cations in England for over a genera
tion. He has attracted vast crowds
to the immense Metropolitan Taber-
nacle in London. where the immortal
Charles ii. Spurgeon was pastor so
many years. He has packed, night aft
er night, the biggest churches and hall
In Glasgow, and Edinburgh was stirred
to its depths by his burning eloquence.
One OF the greatest honors which
has been bestowed upon Gypsy Smith
was to be elected missioner by the
National Council of the Free Churches
of England.
Pittsburg is making great prepara
tions for the religious campaign under
Gypsy Smith, and the great exposition
building will be prepared for the hold
ing of the meetings.

OF the family had smallpox when they
were living In a wagon and one tent,
when the weather was very severe in

There were the father and mother and

with his little lad, Gypsy, he visited
many OF the beer shops of England
In this rude company the father would
fiddle while the lad would dance, and
then the future evangelist would pass

way, says Gypsy Smith, he was being
prepared to pass the collection basket
