The abolishment of corporal pun
ishment for all boys over 16 wears
old.
Corporal punishment to be inflicted
on the younger boys only under
stringent rules to be prescribed by the
Board of Control.
The general humane treatment of
all inmates.
When this report and that of Sen
ator Rockne comes up for action the
Board of Control is due for grilling
and it is not unlikely they will be
censured for laxity of duty and pos
sibly their designations will be de-
manded.
Ex-senator Stephens certainly has
made good his charges and is entitled
to the thanks of the state for calling
attention to condition of things that
certainly ought not to exist.
A Relapse Into Barbarism.
A bill fathered by combination
of Republican and Democratic Senators
from the smaller senatorial districts
and which has passed the Senate and
came very near passing the House,
demonstrated in the most startling
manner the tendency of the most en-
lightened bodies of men to occasional
ly lapse back into the theories of the
Dark Ages and to stand for principles
that great majority of modern minds
regard as relics of a barbaric past and
to react Legislation that smacks of
the old colonial days when suffrage
was not regarded as manhood right
but a perquisite of property. color and
locality.
The bill referred to, provides that
no county, no matter what its popula-
tion may be, shall ever have more
than six Senators.
This measure is directly aimed at
the counties of Hennepin, Ramsey
and St. Louis as there are no other
counties in the State that will be en-
titled to that number on population
basis for many years to come.

Unless camels have been especiaily
trained to abstinence they cannot
go as long as is commonly supposed
without water. When marching near
rivers they drink twice day. Iney
feed largely on the tough, scrubDy YER
dure known locally as camel thorn,
which grows throughout Mesopotamia'
except on the extreme desert wastes.
Their habits are peculiar. Unlike
horses, they seem to feel no fondness
for their human associates, though
they will seldom wander far from the
caravan tents even If left united over
night.

INGENIOUS Spiders.

Spiders have number of ingenious
ways of alluring and catching their
prey. A writer describes an American
spider which haunts evergreen trees
and snares its dinner by means Of
kind Of lasso. The web of the spider
is triangular in form. Two corners Of
the triangle are attached to twigs, but
the other corner, which ends in sim
gle thread, is held by the spider, perch
ed on neighboring twig: When fly
strikes the web the spider loosens his
hold, and the elastic threads instantly
entangle the victim.

TRUCK ARRIVES ON TINE.
Board Car Reaches Boston Without
a Mishap--.Covered 500 Miles
in Five Days.

Covering the last 20 miles in sleety
| rain, the Board Truck checked in Of
Boston last night on time. ibis trip was
the most remarkable feat ever accom-.
plished in the annals OF the commercial
vehicle.
The Board Truck left Washington
lastMonday afternoon carrying capsc.
ity load, and has covered 500 miles in
FIVE days, averaging 100 miles day,
and has only had two penalties regis
tered against it. The first happened
almost Immediately after the start last
Monday, being repair OF water pump.
The second, on Tuesday, was given for
brake adjustment.
The truck was late arriving in Balti-
more Monday night on account Of the
bad condition of the center stretch, but
the car went through it with its own
power. On Tuesday heavy shifting
sand caused the delay. Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday the car arrived q
little ahead of time. Not replacement
Of any kind has been made.
The truck arrived last night in much
better working condition than when it
started.
The truck will remain in Boston
about ten days, 10 charge of E. Z.

then be driven back to Washington,
stopping over at many OF the cities it
passed through to keep appointments

morist has called it IAN u1dignifed

panied by noise resembling cough
In the effort to avoid swallowing a
chestnut"
Laughter" says Professor Sir
Charles Bell, IS convulsiye action of
the diaphragm. In this state the per
son draws full breath and throws 1t
out in interrupted short and audible
cachlnnations. This CONFUSION Of the
diaphragm is the principal part OF the
physical manifestation Of laughter.
But there are several accessories,
especially the. sharp vocal utterance
arising from the violent tension Of the
larynx and the expression Of the fea-
lures. thl3 being a more intense form
Of the smile. In extreme cases the
eyes are moistened by the efusion
from the lachrymal glands"
There are some people who cannot
laugh. who are wholly unable to enjoy
either the mystical or the mental lux
ury Of a laugh. Tins 1t was said or

s ,.... ION Day
Goyerau. Mr. siles Next Men
day as Date for Inspection and
Fire Drills.

Governor William Hodges Mann has
issued . proclamation designating. Mon.
day next, October 9, the anniversary oil
the Chicago fire, as Fire Prevention
Day, many other governors having
issued similar proclalnations.
The terrible Are waste in tho United
States, largely due to negligence and
poor or careless construction, has at
trscted the attention OF the whole world.
Our fire loss is manifold that Of the
countries OF Europe. The popular be-
lief that il property is covered by an
surance nobody loses when 1t burns, IS
one OF the most iallacious ever con-
ceiyed. When value goes up 10 smoke
it reduces the national wealth just to
that extent. II the property is not in
sured the loss OF course falls solely up
on the owner. When it is insured the
loss is born by the insurance COM
panias, who pay out money collected
from their policy holders. On account
OF the large fire loss insurance rates are
exceedingly high in America. They
are paid by the public along with the
other high cost Of living figures and
constitute an enormous and inexcusable
burden.
The governors proclamation reads as
follows:
Whereas, the National Fire Mar
shals' Association hos urged that Mon
dap, October 9, 1911, the anniversary
OF the Chicago FIRE, be observed as fire
prevention day, and as our losses by
preventable fires are large. it is fitting
and proper that the day be observed in
this commonwealth.
Now, therefore, /, William Hodges
Mann, governor OF the commonwealth,
urge all good citizen to observe Monday
October 8, 1911. as fire prevention day,
and on that day to observe all the pre-
cautions mentioned above, to inspect
fire apparatus in factories and public
buildings and to have fire drills in all
establishments. / likewise urge the
school authorities OF the several couu-
ties and cities to have fire drills in the
schools under their jurisdiction on that
day and to instruct the pupils in the
prevention OF fires"

Wanted-Two Good Murderers.

Some curious letters passed between
Garrick and a man named Stone. The
latter was employed to get recruits for
the low parts Of the drama, and one
night lie wrote to Garrlck, "Sir, the
bishop Of Winchester is getting drunk
ut the Bear and swears he will not
play tonight"
At first sight this seems peculiar con
duct for bishop, but It should be ex
planned that the communication only
refers to the man engaged to take that
character in the play Of Henry VIII"
On another occasion Garrick wrote
10 Stone: If you can get me two good
lnurderers I will pay you handsomely,
particularly the spouting fellow who
keeps the apple stall on Tower bill
The cut in his face is just the thing
