The legislatures total appropriation
for the penitentiary was 100000 anC
out Of this We will get a s2,0OO,OOC
institution. The farm OF 1900 acres
was subsequently arranged for and
cost the state $4,000, but this farm
as will be seen, is saving the peni.
tentiary thousands upon thousands OF
dollars already in its products, all
raised by the convicts themselves.
And there are all kinds OF industries
within the prison that pay dividends
as it we're. For instance:
Shops.

contemplated.
There has been a shoe shop In the
prison almost from the first, and all
Of the shoes used by the institution
have been made there. This shop has
only one paid man, a foreman. The
work all being done by inmates Of the
institution, which consists OF about
? 500 pairs OF shoes a year.
There IS IN operation a tailor shop
which Is as well equipped as condi-
ions and lack of spacewi II permit.
The tailor shop makes all OF the
hirts, underclothes, overalls, caps,
,ilow slips, sheets, towels, and most
Il the discharged clothing used by
he institution.
In addition a great deal OF the
rison clothing is made in the tailor
hop, and as soon as more space can
e obtained the force will be increas-
d TO such an extent that the shop
ill produce everything that Is worn
Y the prisoners.
All the laundry work for the prison
! done by temporary laundry by the
1mates of the institution.
The prison has a well equipped hos
ital which Is in charge of the prison
hysician. All prisoners who are sick
nd need any medical attention are
lken care OF there.
The prison IS equipped with cor .

Occupation Of convicts.
II has been the policy OF the War
den to keep all able bodied inmates
at work on the construction, saving
the state thereby perhaps half
million dollars. They are formed in
TO crews or gangs, each gang having
a paid foreman. The prisoners who
are able to work are detailed TO the
gang doing the class OF work for
which they seem 70 be best fitted

Continued from Yesterday,

Shayne, engrossed in the clearance of
the ship. paid him no attention. The
d~rawbridge roof dropped down; the
Roc, huge, steely inc majestic, went
out of her vast nest, careening sharp
ly against the wall as she sailed out,
and under splendid management fell
off before the weather, the sense of
windiness ceasing as she caught step
with the current. Her master felt free,
and went in to exult with Mrs. Shayne.
He was an exemplary husband.
The clouds consisted of an upper high
stratum of plain, semi-transparent
gray, apparently motionless. and a fly
ing scud of broken masses, which swept
the higher hills, and drove north d.
rectly into the face of a rising body of
rounded masses advancing in the a
of the wind. Shayne knew what these
indications meant; but he sullenly gave
orders to lay a course dead for Tema-
| eami in spite of the northwesterly wind
back of those clouds. BY waiting for
the turn of the wind they might AVE

northins took them farther from the
central low and n a large circle
OF the huge whirl of the gale. The pi-
lot knew that Temagami was out OF
the question, though the wind blew
dead oWard it-nay, because of that
fact; for a high wind never blows
straight, but always in a circle about
the .low.p So Shayne, violating the
rules of weather outside to make sun
shine within. was not surprised when
told that they were approaching the
line of r~eversal-the turn OF the wind.

singular swiftness and power of the
flight of this %aeronef, and the simmer
in her wings assured Shayne that he
was pursued by the machine which
had wrecked his monopoly and estab-
lished a new and more impregnable one,
founded on the old and time-tried basic
title to rulership, landlordism. Shayne
gripped the glass and set his teeth. The

wreck-a shattsring fall in landing. or

Virginia. Agonizing for her. Carson
followed, watching like a wrecker when
a full-rigged ship drives oil a reef.
And yet, even after her turn, all
seemed we'll with the Roc. The sea lay
south and east. Northing was impos-
sible, but edging into the gale with
all the power of her screws she worked
stanchly off into the west. Yet Car
son knew it was a losing fight, and
Shayne walked the deck In agony as
she gave ground at last before the
wind, which howled In across the Penn
sylvania mountains and beat the great
hunted creature TO the Delaware at
Philadelphia. He had risen high for
a gentler wind. or a counter drift. but,
frightened at his wild flight. had gone
down again TO profit by the esrth's
friction on the air. And still she fed
seward, her best-advised people
stressful with fear. Mrs. Shayne was
asleep, but Virginia came on deck and
listened to the roar from beneath with
awe in her face, for she knew that the
gale forbade landing m that their
only hope lay in keeping above the
continent and riding it out.

TO DYE FINE LACE.

A successful method Of dyeing short
pieces of fine lace is to dip the piece
into dye mixed with gasoline, then
carefully place the lace on a. piece of
muslin to dry. AS it begins to dry take
needles and hold the lace in place,
stretching it evenly while damp. If you
discover a light spot you can apply
more color to that particular spot. If
the lace is not to be washed it can be
pinned to a board over a soft cloth
and the flowers tinted. BY adding a
touch of %gold-not too much-the pat
tern will develop into something suit
able for trimming a handsome silk
dress. As ordinary dyes are entirely
satisfactory for this work, any clever
oma can have lace in II desired
shade.

Dear Miss Doom:
What Is your opinion of a person
who is always using French phrases
in my presence when / don't under
stand a WORD of French? ANNOYED.
A person should never maxi use of
quotations from foreign languages in
the presence of a person who has no
knowledge of them. To discuss topics
or say anything which people present
cannot understand is a sign OF very
bad breeding. Nothing should be done
which is likely to make others feel
ill at ease.
