whose regulations has been contain
mated by prison sentence. The
one has done wrong and evaded the
law; the other has, erred and paid
the penalty. Perhaps the latter has
sincerely repented and is again free
from stain in the sight of the Just
Judge. Still his fellows will be
slow to put the same trust in him
that they would put in one about
whom they knew nothing either
good or bad. And vet it is fact
that only one who has been tempted
and tried is entirely reliable.
We all have our weaknesses. We
all sin and expect forgiveness. Does
1t not seem inconsistent then that
we should discriminate too severely
against one who has shown himself
sincere in making amends for his
wrong doing?
But If the prisoner cannot regain
the prestige of an unsullied reputa-
ton he can always find consolation
in the thought that regeneration in
the spiritual sense is always possible.
In the silence of his lowly cell he
can commune with the One who can
help him best. He can pray for for
giveness and grace. and be certain
that he will not be Disseminated
against because of his lot. He can
by resolute effort tear from their
roots the old habits that led to his
downfall and cultivate better habits
in their stead. The best way to
overcome habit is to set contrary
impulse to work.
Inmates of prisons are right in
being cheerful in the face of this
obvious difficulty. The important
thing is to put their consciences at
ease and overcome the inclinations
that have led them astray. This
they can do. II may be hard but it
can be done. To die trying is to
succeed Irish Standard.

The -Convict's Prospects.

1t is interesting to read prison
paper. Not that it pictures things
so attractively on the other side of
the walls that set bounds to the lib
erty of those unfortunate enough to
be within, but because it makes us
realize more keenly the unalterable
fact which each one of us knows as
well as the unfortunate prisoner,
namely, that the world does not for
get. We do not stop to consider it
in the same way that the man does
whose reputation bears a public
faint. Yet it is as true as we live.
II man outrages society he must
pay the penalty by never being fully
trusted by society again.

If an editor makes a mistake, he
has to apologize for it, but if doc
tor makes mistake, he buries it. If
the editor makes one there is a law
suit, swearing and the smell of sui
phur, but if a doctor makes one.
there is a funeral, cut flowers and
the smell of varnish. A doctor can
use word a mile long without
knowing what it means, but if the
editor uses it he has to spell it. If
the doctor goes to see another mans
wife he charges for his visit, but if
an editor goes to see another mans
wife, he gets charges of buckshot.
When doctor gets drunk, it's
case of overcome by the heat" and
if he dies, it is heart trouble. When
an editor gets drunk, it's a case of
too much booze, and if he dies, it's
a case of delirium tremens.-

The editor of The Fulda Republi-
can must have been looking over
his subscription lists lately, for he
became desperate enough to print
the following:
The editor sat in his office whence
all but him had fled, and he wished
that every last dead beat was in his
grave stone dead. His mind then
wandered far away to the time when
he should die, and his royal editorial
soul 60 scooting to the sky; when
he'd roam the fields of Paradise and
sail DER Jasper seas and all things
glorious would combine his every
sense to please. He thought then
how he'd look across the great gulf
dark and drear, that'll yawn between
his happy soul and those who swim
died here, and when for water they
would call, and in agony they'd ca
per, he'd shout to them: Just
quench your thirst with the due
that's on your paper"
Now, Mr.. Editor, if you will take
the advice of one who has been
through the mill and who knows
what he is talking about, you will
not have to wait until you are a
ghost to be rid of that troublesome
species of the canine tribe, known
as dead beats.
Just fill yourself up to the nozzle
with good strong scat" the kind
that produces courage, next, provide
yourself with medium sized hickory
sapling; then pick out the worst
dead beat in the bunch, and soak
him for all you are worth, and pres
to change, you will be here in our
midst, where dead beats never both
er, and matters financial are far re-
Just try it and we are sure you
will be surprised with the result.

DURING the quarter of a century
of it's existence, The Mirror has, at
irregular intervals, undergone many
changes in it's management. The
editors who have presided in the
sanctum during the past years, have
shown themselves to be capable and
worthy of the trust, and we sincerely
hope that we shall prove no excep-
ton. With the cooperation of our
fellow inmates, who have so gener-
ouslv contributed to The Mirror
columns in the past, and with the
assistance of the officials, we shall
vigorously strive to keep The Mirror
up to the excellent standing it has
attained, through the untiring and
unselfish efforts of Mr.. S. A. p, and
Mr.. A. o. H., (YENs YENsEN).
Mr.. A. o. H., the retiring editor,
has been granted new lease on life,
liberty and the pursuits of happi-
ness, and has, ere now, departed for
brighter chimes. We are both sorry
and glad to see him go-sorry be-
cause we loose valuable friend and
confdant. and Glad because we know
he will be happier elsewhere. We
have known him as conscientious
and productive worker, courteous,
generous and more than willing to
lend helping hand at all times; that
he will make good we feel certain,
and we believe we express the SEN
timents of all who know him, by
wishing him health, happiness and a
prosperous voyage down through
the years.
We cordially invite those
who are interested. in the welfare
and advancement of our Family
Journal" to aid in making its con-
tents cheerful, newsy and instructive,
thereby helping it along toward
greater field of usefulness, and en-
abling it to retain its present posi-
ton at the head of prison publica-
lions.

To those who are leaving here.
we wish to give few words of adj
vice: # you have not got good
grip on yourself, get one by all
means before you pass through the
gates, and you will never regret it.
Don't allow evil thoughts to flourish
and grow in your brain for they will
work you ruin and land you here, or
in some similar place again. DO not
leave here with your heart filled
with venom, and your brain turned
to mockery for the things you have
suffered-you have brought upon
yourselves. Steer clear of the old
gang; subdue your passions; reform
yourself; for you, and you alone can
do that. Go where you are not
known Id start life anew. Be
strictly on the square with yourself
and everyone with whom you come
in contact. Contract no debts and
leave no bills unpaid. Tell your
past history to no one-live it down.
A clear conscience and good health
will be the sign that you are living
right.

The Seeing Eye.

He who sees is educated. Moth
ing SO stated can be whole truth or
a literal truth; but it is nearer to
the literal truth than, for instance.
the epigram of the French, He who
sleeps, Dimes"
Scholarship contemplates infinite
ly more than training, so that schol-
arship and training are synonymous
to but limited degree; but training
and education are more nearly so:
and seeing is largely a matter of
training.
The late Doctor Abernethy, found
er of Rutherford College, used to
say that if he could concentrate
young mans mind upon knothole
for four years, that would produce
a finely educated man, or words to
that effect. If you, reader, are able
to concentrate your mind upon
knothole for the space of thirty min
utes you have a pretty good work
ing education.
A pupil of Audubon's describes
the beginning of his work under the
great naturalist. He gave the pupil
(
little fish, and babe him observe it.
At the end of the day the pupil
gave description of the fish as he
saw it. The next day get the fish
and look at it some more,o the pupil
was told. At the end of the day he
was able to tell the naturalist a
great deal more about that fish. But
on the third day he was again set to
the task of looking at that Shiny and
somewhat odorous specimen. That
evening he was able to give a salts
factory, in fact correct, description
of the superficial aspect Of the fish.

II you have pair of seeing eyes
they are more valuable to you than
any jewels ever created in the alche-
my of nature. Itswould be interest
ing to be able, as the mystics of the
Orient claim to be, to see things be-
yoDd the mortal plane: but there are
SO many wonderful and important
things in the ordinary range of hui
man ken that are not seen!
He who has a seeing eye can ac-
complish his purposes. Every mo-
ment of life is crowded with oppor-
tunities. They seldom present them
selves, however, to the unobservant.

HE who would delve into the
greater things of life must first ele-
vate himself above ignorance and
immortality. For it is not permitted
that the ignorant, immoral and their
ilks, should learn the great truths;
know the joys, and reap the benefits
that an upright and intelligent life
permits.

Mentor Editorial
By Eabi,ts.


The whole is equal to the sum Of
it's parts. The magazine is the COM
posite of the work of ita writer's, its
illustrators, it's editors and it's press
men. The editor plays but a small
part in the makeup of magazine.
He may determine the policy of the
publication; he may sci ct the
writer's, or assign writer's to selected
subjects; he may approve or disap-
prove the proffered illustrations; he
may accept or reject the work of the
pressmen.
One will note that these duties
are all secondary. The real work is
done by the authors, the artists and
the artisans.
The first step which we have taken
towards establishing the credit of
the good work done by our contrib
utors is the granting unto each au
thor the use OF pen name, over
which his work will hereafter ap-
pear. This system will stamp the
individuality of every contribution.
Nearly every man likes to see his
ideas in print, likes to know that
other people are reading what he
has written. That is good for a
man; it makes him think, makes him
develop his mind and write himself
out, as it were, into the light of pub
licity.
No man can read stories of intense
human interest, no man can read
articles of worth along scientific
lines, no man can read poetry, which
portrays the tenderest emotions,
without be ing stirred to better
thoughts, to higher ideals. Thus it
becomes apparent that those who
write, help others as well as them
selves.
To make this help doubly valuable,
we must be optimistic. We want
nothing published which shall cry
down mankind, which shall portray
the ugly, the dark or gloomy side of
life. Bright stories, happy poems,
sane articles and a cheerful ensemble
are to make this publication worth
while to every man here.
The man who says that the ''ex-
convict" has no chance, that the
world is against him, will have no
place with us. There are no knock

US.
Inere Is enough misery, enough |
sadness, enough repining in tn

our Haunting it before mems eyes.

Brace up.

He who broods upon his burdens,
He who sits in glum dispair,
Is but borrowing more of trouble
More of trouble and of care
Brace up! Cast aside your burdens,
Turn new leaf, bright and fair,
Show the world that you mean business
You mean business, fair and square.
Then of friends you'll have plenty,
Trouble you will no more know,
All your days be filled with gladness-
Filled with gladness, and not woe.

THE UNLUCKY OPAL.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

For the baneful repute of the opal
there is a historical reason. Two or
three centuries ago the stone was pop
ular in Europe, says the Bridgeport
Post, and the jewelers. of Italy were
especially cunning in its setting. At
the height of its popularity came the
plague, which made havoc in Venice.
1t was noticed by some o~bservant per-
son In that city that when a victim
was at the point of death his opal, If
he wore one, frightened, while after
death it became dull. AS this ascension
of brilliance was thought to imply a
Malignant purpose or intelligenc. in
the stone, it was charged with the
death Of its owner. 1t never occurred
to the scientists OF that time to see
if the condition of the patient had
anything to do with the change in the
opal. But 1t is probable that the height
ened fever just before death caused
the stone, which is affected by heat, to
become more brilliant, and the chill
and damp afterward dulled 1t.

Something for the Complexion.

Lear MISS DoOH-
Would you please publish as soon as
possible a good remedy to clean the
skin? My face is full of red spots and
1 get pimples upon my forehead. What
Is good for this and what Is good for
curling the eyelashes upward? Mine
are so straight and stiff. Thanking you
very much. Yours truly, MISS K.
A simple remedy to remove the red
ness from the skin and also the shine
is to rub talcum powder on your face,
allowing it to remain over night. This
will make the skin less oily and will
cause the red blotches to disappear.
The following cream will help cure the
Objectionable pimples: Lanoline, 5
grams; sweet ALMOND oil, 5 grams; sui
phur precipitate, s grams; oxide of
zinc, ~ grams; extract OF violet, 10
drops. Apply a little of the cream to
each pimple. There is nothing that
will make the eyelids curl if they are
naturally stiff. You can perhaps soften
them by applying vaseline t. the eye
lids. and you might try pushing the
eyelashes up gently to make them less
straight.

TO CANDY BLOSSOMS.


To candy mint, rose leaves and vio-
let's take a pound of leaves or bios
SONS, one and one-fourth pounds of
sugar. Rinse the leaves in cold water.
Spread out to dry on a clean, soft linen
cloth. Cook the sugar, adding just
enough water to assist in the dissolv-
ing until it forms a soft ball when
tried in cold water. Take from the
fire, add the leaves or blossoms and
lift the syrup over them carefully until
all are covered. Return to the fire,
let come to a boil, remove and pour at
once into a cold dish. Let stand until
the next day. Drain the leaves from
the syrup on a sieve. To his syrup add
another half cupful of sugar and again
cook until it forms a soft ball. Again
add the leaves and set aside we night.
Drain, reheat the syrup and add the
leaves, bringing the syrup to the boil
ing point. Remove from the fire and
stir lightly until the syrup begins to
grain. Pour out on sheets of oiled
paper. Shake and separate the leaves,
that each may be covered with grained
sugar. Let dry and pack away.
