PRISONERS WHO FARM.
England Improves Her Land While
Furnishing vioiators of Law.

An interesting report has just been
issued on the result of the investiga-
tions which Were made by four OF the
royal commissioners on the poAr law
into the working or labor colonies in
Holland. Belgium. Germany and
Switzerland. So
Tie colonies visited were the free
la Dor colonies at Fredericksoord; the
penal colonies at Veenhuizen in Bel
GUM. which include the beggars' de-
pot at Merxplas. aud the refuge" col
onies at Wortel and Heogstracton, ana
to which the admission is on cenyic-
ton. and by magistrates order; the
town labor colony at Hamburg, and
the farm colony at Schaferof. near
Hamburg: the forced labor farm at
WitZwyl, with the supplementary labor
colony at Nusshof. and the labor col
ony at Tannenhof, near Berne.
AT Hamburg the system of relief
was STUDIED as a whole, and i'm relation
to unemployment. Hamburg was Sc
iected both on the ground of the gen
eral opinion that it's administration OF
relief was careful and effective, and
because, as the center of large sea-
borne trade, the authorities would
probably have to meet with difficulties
of want of employment among dock
and general laborers similar to those
which prevail in some English sea
ports.
The committee made inquiry also in
regard to schemes of employment mr
surance, and, on the other hand, they
visited institutions of the general type
of wofknouse and poorhouse at Am
sterdam, Hamburg and Berne.
OF the free labor colonies at Freder-
icksoord, the committee, describing II
as a voluntary association for placing
people on the land, says: 1T has noa
as it has been managed heretofore
been able to turn down jewellers into
permanent colonists, except 1t may BE-
in a few instances. But the colonies
are goed in this way. The celonists,
it would seem, live hard-workfnS'
thrifty lives; they support themselves
ana their families, wholly or for the
most part; they are not cut off from
