New Plan for Classifying Prisoners

tion that is a wonder. The literary
talent and linguistic power Of some
of these prisoners is simply marvel
GUS, and the strange part Of 1t is how
men of such profound knowledge are
not otherwise brainy enough to keep
out of Jail. If the average receipt OF
such prisoners Is maintained 1t will
be a strong argument for the low
brows" side, of whom We have big
population"
All told, there are score Of prison
ers now doing time in the prison who
are able to converse fluently in half
a dozen languages.
AS convincing proof Of this, a pris-
oner Of Polish birth was brought out
to converse with an attache Of the dis
trict attorneys Office. The latter is
somewhat Of a linguist and boasts Of
being able to converse in IL different
languages. The prisoner, who was
formerly engaged as a foreign banker,
just went the young attorney three
better. He demonstrated to the list
eners that he was as familiar with Is
different tongues as he is with his ma
tive chatter. There are others in jail
equally fluent, too.
All Of these prisoners demand high.
class literature to peruse in their idle
moments.

YANSAS CITY.-Expelled from the

PRETTY EFFECTS ON LINGERIE
Most charmiAg Of All Are the Made
Flowers Of Chiffon, Though
Other Features Are Used.

The made flowers are so altogether
lovely when they are well used that
their vogue goes steadily on. The
latest use for them is in lingerie skirts
and slips Of sheer quality. Flowers
for these purposes are made Of chif.
fon, and very airy and dainty they
are for their purpose. The little flow.
ers are introduced in wreaths that are
single or intertwined. in garlands and
in little nosegays. The flowers for lin.
gerle are of necessity tiny.
Another feature Of the new lingerie
is the use of ribbon bows with fringed
ends.
Most trimmings are put on fiat for
underwear, though some persons cling
to the gathered lace ruffles, which in.
deed add little II any bulk.
There is a growing liking for the
dainty Bavarian embroidery, with its
Characteristic tiny hard padded de-
signs. All the daintlness Of such un'
derwear is usually left to the embroid'
cry without detracting from its sim
plicity by the addition Of lace.

Times Are Bad for Steamship BARRIERS

NEW YORK.-Barbers on Atlantic
~ liners are now complaining about
safety razors, which have reduced
their profits to such an extent that
they have been compelled to eke out
a living by selling all kinds OF no
tions, from Bibles to chewing gum. In
the palmy days BARRIERS were In
clined to regard with scorn and to
keep waiting the passenger who shaw
ed himself and only came to the shop
for a hair cut. On the White Star
line the daily rush for shaves among
first cabin passengers was recognized
by the company, and one Of its rules,
400, section s, read:
BARRIERS of the White Star steam
ships are not allowed to cut passen-
gers hair before noon"
All morning the BARRIERS were kept
busy, and in the afternoon from 4
o'clock until dinner time, scraping the
chins OF passengers who would not
take a chance of cutting themselves
with the old-fashioned rabors as the
ship pitched up and down or rolled
from side to side.
Now many passengers shave them
selves, whether it is rough or smooth,
and never patroniZe the barber's shop
unless the ship is over toward her
beam ends, which is the time the bar
ber doesn't want to shave any one.
Baxter Springs news., 1912-03-28

Owing to this decline Of business
the steamship companies have had to
reduce the rents charged for the bar
bers' shops on their liners, and in
some cases they have had to pay as
much as $40 a month to get the pro-
fessors of the tonsorial art to go to
sea. Rene de Sans Souci, one OF the
most dignifed sea-going BARRIERS, said:
"Yees, it ees verre sad, triste, eh,
for &c artistic of re cheveuX to the sea
in big Sleeps for many days without
making the razor on face to so. am
desole because for the rent and my
expenses"
Sam Skeggs, another rowing barber.
we'll known from the Hudson to the
Yukon, said that the barber business
on board ship since the advent of the
safety razor gave him the fantods.
"All I can do today" said he, 'is to
cut hair and trim whiskers Of pious
travellers who do not know how to
spend money or give tips"

FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Where the Winters Are Cold and the
SHOWS Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David
Harum made famous, a man says that
he was an habitual coffee drinker, and,
although he knew it was doing him
harm, was too obstinate to give 1t up,
till all at once he went to pieces with
nervousness and insomnia, loss Of ap-
petite, weakness, and q generally
used-up feeling, which practically un.
fitted him for his arduous occupation,
and kept him on a couch at home
when his duty did not call him out.
while in this condition Grape
Nuts food was suggested to me, and l
began to use it. Although 1t was in
the middle Of winter, and the ther-
mometer was often below zero, almost
my entire living for about six weeks
of severe exposure was on Grape-Nuts
food with little bread and butter and
a cup Of hot water, till l was wise
enough to make Postum my table bev-
erage.
After the first two weeks l began
to feel better and during the whole
winter / never lost a trip on my mail
route, frequently being on the road
z or 8 hours at a time.
"The constant marvel to me was
how q person could do the amount Of
work and endure the fatigue and hard
ship as l did, on so small an amount
of food. But l found my new rations
so perfectly satisfactory that / have
continued them-using both Postum
and Grape-Nuts at every meal, and
often they comprise my entire meal.
"All my nervousness, irrltability and
Insomnia have disappeared and healthy,
natural sleep has come back to me.
But what has been perhaps the great
est surprise to me Is the fact that
with the benefit to my general health
has come q remarkable Improvement
IN my eye-sight.

Don't wrap a child's hair in curriers'

keeper. Curly hair is not worth what
It costs in disturbed and restless
sleep. A headful Of curriers' is just
about as comfortable as a pillow filed
with clothespins. II you doubt 1t,

head and in the morning note how
she yawns and stretches and hates to
get up. II hair that is straight must
be curled, do It in the daytime and
not at night.
