EASTER IN PRISON

r% AsTER SUNDAY in a prison Is welcomed as one of the E great days of the year, when
 there Is little extra in- diligence in the way of eating and amusement and some relaxation in the Isual discipline. The prison officials ,ndeavor as far as possible to make he day a little different from the usual Sunday, though, with the best inten- ions, they cannot do much.
 Easter Sunday begins for the prison SITS at about half past I. when the great prison bell rings and the guards 1nlock the cell doors. Away down the corridor you hear the stamp. stamp, IS of an advancing giant. Line after inc of black and gray striped figures march out on their way to breakfast.
 The messroom. with It's rows of desk like tables, capable of seating more than a thousand men, looks like an i'm menSe schoolroom. At the end of each table is q great pile of bread cut in keeper. Each man on taking his seat finds before him tin plate containing his breakfast, pint of coffee. slice of bread and knife and fork. If he wants more bread he holds up his tight hand and the guard at the end of the table passes 1t to him. By hold ing up his plate or cup he can get more coffee or whatever there may be for breakfast. Waste is avoided. but no man need go away from the table un- satisfied. After busy quarter of m hour the keeper in charge of the first company knocks on the table, and the men in his charge, some fifty or sixty, rise at once and form into line. each carrying his knife and fork in his hand. The keeper takes his station 1t the door, and as each man passes put he must deposit his knife and fork In the box provided for that purpose.
 If the day is fine the men are marched around the yard for half an hour, still keeping their formation, and strange sight 1t is to see the long lines of men marching in and out around the building in endless procession.
 Exercises over, away they march to the chapel, which. owing to the ef- forts of the chaplain and his friends. Is decorated with flowers and plants disposed so as to hide as much as pos sible the telltale bars and other sugges- tive items. Each man as he enters re-

 "Where did they come from, papa?" she asked, pausing at the study door.
 "Out of the everywhere into the here," quoted her papa dreamily.
 Marjory turned away disappointed.
 Papa, she knew, was in one of his dreams Sometimes she liked 1t very much, but today she wanted real things. She trudged up another flight of stairs to where her mamma was dressing the new baby.
 Her mamraa put her finger on her lips. Flush, Marjory," said she. "Come and tell mother quietly what 1t is." Marjory approached gently.
 'The chickens, mamma" she whis- pered-"where did they come from?"
 Her mamma smiled tenderly. Why" she said, you seem to be very much

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles. A Canaan Citizen Shows How to
 Cure Them,

Cure hem.
 Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from lame, weak or aching back they. think that it is only muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Canaan people testify to permanent cures.
 Mrs. John Mansfield, Reed St., Ca- naan, Conn.,, says: "A few months ago, was troubled by a swelling of my feet and ankles. I became tired easily and often found it hard to get around. In a short time after using Doan's Kidney Pills, the dropsical swelling had dis found Deans Kidney Pills to aot as represented and I, therefore, take pleasure in recommending them to other kidney sufferers"

ceives a printed program of the serv- ices. containing also the hymns to be sung by the congregation. For weeks previously the prison choir has been practicing Easter music, and, as a rule. the prison choir is quite competent to give as good a choral service as those of great many city churches, there being no lack of we'll trained voices, even a male soprano voice being far from unusual.
 The religious services are brief, most of the time being taken up by the | choir. The whole is over in about an hour and a half. Then comes the march back to the cells, each man re- l ceiving as he passes the mess room a tin containing his afternoon meal. which consists of three hard boiled eggs, some cold potatoes and as much bread as he cares to take. Taking his place at the lever which locks every door on that gallery, the keeper waits until each man is in his place. At the signal each door Is closed with a bang. snap goes the lever, and fifty doors are securely locked. Then comes the count. Each man stands behind his door, which, being formed of iron bars, permits him to be plainly seen. and as the keeper knocks with his key In passing answers Here" A second keeper repeats the count, and then for the present each man is left to the en- l joyment of his own company.
 At 12 o'clock the prison wakes up again little as the mess room walters pass from door to door with great cans of boiling coffee. Soon all is quiet again, and little can be heard as the afternoon draGs along except the soft footfall of the felt shod patrol or an impatient sigh from a wakeful prison CT. At , o'clock fresh water is served out to each man, and his lamp is light ed. Slowly the time drags along until 9 o'clock, when at the striking Of the prison gong all lights are put out. The ! great prison is soon as quiet as city of the dead, and Easter Sunday hag passed.-New York Evening Post

HOW TO RAISE COTTON.
Brazil Will Send Specialist to this
Country TO Study Our Methods.

Washington, July l 1.-THE Brazil
ian ministry OF agriculture has made
arrangements to send to the United
States a well known specialist in
cotton growing for the purpose OF
visiting the Southern States to study
American methods of cotton growing
and obtain a number Of American
experts to go to Brazil to further the
interests OF cotton cultivation in that
country, according to report of
United States Consul General }. j.
Slechta, Of Rio Janeiro.
- 1t is Intended to have these Ameri-
SSan experts travel throughout the
cotton growing sections of Brazil and
act as inspectors, and especially as
instructors.
Very strong representations have
been made to the Brazilian DEPART
ment OF agriculture by influential
men of the cotton growing States in
Northern Brazil, says Mr.. Slechta,
tending to demonstrate that If proper
instruction for the scientific train
ing of cotton growers be given, the
cotton production would be greatly
increased.
Large areas OF Northern Brazil
have as their only source OF wealth
the products OF the cotton fields and
with the development which is sure
to come with modern methods of
culture, cotton-growing would be-
come the third greatest industry in
Brazil. The expert is to give partic-
! ular attention to irrigation as used
in cotton growing inasmuch as some
OF the best cotton-growing lands of
Brazil require irrigation to obtain
the best results. In view OF the fact
that Brazil is probably the only
country other than the United States
which possesses lands capable of
cotton production on really large
scale, this step is Of considerable sig
niiicance.
