GRAPH. TAKEN FASHIONABLE NEWPORT.

While Mrs. Iselin's children are
always daintily dressed, their
clothes are simple in fashion. The
material of little Louise's frocks
and hats are exquisite in texture
and in workmanship. Many a
mother who overloads her small
daughters body with lace, en-
broidery, frills. ruffles and sashes
might learn wise lesson from
the clothes of this wee girl.
The Iselin family, both seniors
and juniors, are noted~fo their
yachts and love of the sea, and
little Ernest is always attired in
the wide flapping trousers of the
sailor and wears the loose sailors
blouse. In summer his suits are
of white linen and in the cold
weather of blue cloth.

EVILS OF AMERICAN JAlL$

London.-The home Office publishes
the report of Sir Evelyn John Ruggles
Brise chairman of the English prison
commission, and the British represent
ative at the prison congress held at
Washington last October In his re
port on American penal institutions
Sir Evelyn commends state prisons
and reformatories, but condemns tbs
system in vogue in city and county
jails.
"Promiscuity, unsanitary conditions.
the absence of supervision, idleness
and corruption-these remain features
of many places" says the report.
After telling some of the evils he
saw, Sir Evelyn concludes:
Until the abuses of the Jail system

United States to have assigned to her

$4,000 Plant, All Under One Roof
business Is Now on a Pay
ing Basis.

Philadelphia-In Abingdon, one of
the Old York road suburbs and close
to the famous Folly Farms on the Ell
kins estate, young George w. Elkins,
a member of the millionaire family,
has succeeded in establishing chick
en- farm that is really model.
Ten acres, upon which are built the
most improved types of shelters and
feeding spaces for the chickens, com
prise the farm. 1t cost, in addition to
the original purchase price of the
handsome $20000-the sum of S15,-

the investment is a sound, paying
business proposition and not simply
the qualification of millionaire's
whim
Mr. Elkins, business man, clubman,
horseman, golfer and motorist, is also
an expert on chickens. The farm is
under his personal supervision and
care. Every detail of its management
has been carefully planned Richard
Smith, the superintendent of the
NIlCheH idl III, frequently sues W MI
Elkins for advice and suggestions.
The farm is built on portion of
the Ash property, which Mr.. Elkins
acquired recently. A unique idea of
Mr.. Elkins was to have his whole
plant under one roof. Builders told
him this was impracticable, but ne
succeeded in having his scheme car
ried out and it has proved extremely
justifiable.

Is a brooder, 115 by 20 feet, fitted up
with SO brooders and capable of car
ing for 1890 little chicks.
At the extreme northern end is a
large colony house for setting hens
In this end also are the feed rooms
the heating plant and the incubator
rooms One long passageway runs
the entire length of the whole house
and the entire plant is thus under one
roof This simplifies construction
makes for economy and is a big saving
of time in handling the chickens, be
