WOMEN IN SCOTCH PRISONS
Humane Methods in Glssgow's Jail
Are to Be Adopted In

Totally rough, ignorant women

for reasonably long time, leave there

fingers end, even such arts as fine
oriental rugmaking, skillful needle
work and professional cookery being
some of the many money making self

there taught. Glasgow's prison per-

an, can have his character and self
respect destroyed by being constantly
overseen, browbeaten and bounded by
a low human character. Glasgows
system compels prisoners to forget
for awhile the soul-destroying degra-
dalton of the prison and even makes
the onlooker think he is in a busy
happy, first-class factory.
Women in the prison of the great
Scotch city are encouraged to look
and feel their natural best, to hold
up their heads and make the most Of
their figures and appearance. Ugly
khaki garb has been discarded for
woman's wear In prison. with neat

GREYHOUND JOINS COYOTES
to the Call of the
Wild.

A once tame greyhound, owned by
Martin Smith of Sandy, has become
wild and now lives with the coy
otes 1t formerly chased in the sur.
rounding hills.
1t has been three years since this
greyhound heard and responded to the
call of the wild, and it has never ven
tured back to his old home in Candy
except to come to the outskirts to
steal chickens from hen roosts.
The companion of this greyhound is
coyote and they have frequently
been seen together running through
the outskirts of Sandy. Several per-
sons have tried to get photographs
of the strange couple, but have failed.
The greyhound has lost all desire
to return to his former home and has
become even more wild than his COM
panion. The animal has quite a his
tory, having been raised from a puppy
in the neighborhood. One day he dis
appeared from his home and several
weeks afterward was seen with the
coyote which has been his constant
companion ever since.-Portland Ore

UNIQUE PAPYRUS DOCUMENT
First Aboriginal Decree Of a Roman

A unique papyrus document has Just

world II was unearthed at Fayum
Egypt, and is distinct from the papyri
found there In that it is an original de.
cree of the Roman governor of the
Egyptian provinces, whereas all the
other documents found there, though
highly interesting, are mere copies of
the originals.
According to the official description
1t Is letter dated December 81, 200
A. d., from the Governor Subatianus
Aquila, who had an evil reputation as
a prosecutor of the Christians, to
Theon. the administrator of the Ar.
sinoean region (now Fayum), to the
effect, after the usual formal greet
ings, that Niger, the son of Papi-
RUS, sentenced by Claudius Julianus-
vir perfectissimus-to five years penal
servitude in the stone quarries is to be
released, his sentence having expired

ors Lucius Septimus Severus, Pertinax
the Great and Marcus Aurelius Anto-
MUS, this first day of the month Tybi."
Penal servitude Il the Numidian
quarries was reckoned after the death
sentence. 1t was inflicted for robbery
of temples, wilful firing of crops, sell
ing secret philters and betrayal of
state documents. Convicts had half
their heads shorn, were heavily shack
led and underwent terrible torments
from exposure to the blazing sun and
insufficient food, as may be seen from
the Epistle Of Bishop Cyprian of Car
thage, who few years later during
the reign of the Emperor Valerian,
wrote to the Christian convicts In
those same quarries consoling them In
their terrible sufferings.

The American laborer Is the capital

Brazil and Chile each average eighty
