 One good suggestion made by Gov Foss is that should be opportunity for mpeeunious convicts pay their by their earnings they under duress. He showed that the cost of maintenance of iaiIs and houses of correction ir Massachusetts $7376OS. while the earnings of tries aggregated less than S55oOO He estimates that the total jail reformatory and prison commitments sachuset;s aggregating some 270O0 year. involve at least 5O000 persons financial distress many of them innocent children.

MILITIA PLANS FAIL

PRESCOTT From all indications the efforts to revive the Prescott company of militia have resulted in a f:zie and unless a campaign along other ;ine5 is planned, the military spirit in Prescott for tire time being is dead issue. Advice received from the war department at Washington haG it that the company should b. revived by November 1. Whether this was an uitimatum or merely a suggestion is not clear to the local people who have been active in the attempted reorganization. If it may De classed under the former head then Prescott Sill be without a company of militia unless initial organization course is eonfoTmed with. In such a case the company of the past would be a dead issue as far as the records in Washington were concerned

CINNAMON OF CEYLON.
How the Aromatic Bark Is Prepared and Packed on Board Ship.

! How the Aromatic 6ark IS PrePareo
 and Packed on Board Ship.
 More than 200 years ago the Dutch rulers of Ceylon, anxious to retain their monopoly of the pre- cious spice for which that island is famous, enacted law that made it a capital offense to buy or sell the wild jungle cinnamon, then the only sort known. The plants, wherever found, were held to be the property of the state. If shrub chanced to spring up in mans dooryard, he could neither destroy nor use it un- der severe penalties. Things are different now.
 Today the cultivation is something like that of a willow copse, straight young shoots springing up round the stump of the plant previously cut. These shoots are cut every second year. They measure two inches in circumference. Many of them are sold as walking sticks and find ready market among steamer passengers, who think that there must be special charm in cinna- mon stick, though in truth it is hard to distinguish it from common hazel.
 The real thing to be secured is of course the highly aromatic inner bark. First the leaves are stripped off and then the bark is split from end to end with asharp knife that has a curved point. With this, aid- ed by the fingers, the bark is care fully removed in long pieces. These are shaped up and left to sodden, so as to facilitate the next process, that of scraping off the outer rind.
 In order to do this each piece of bark is placed on a round piece of wood and carefully scraped with a knife, the almost nude brown work CTS sitting on the ground and using their toes as an extra hand to steady the end of the stick.
 The bark is then left to dry in the sun, when it rolls itself up into tight quills. These are neatly sort ed and packed, three or four inside one another, made up into bales covered with cloth and are then ready for export.
 Cinnamon is so sensitive that care has to be taken with regard to it's surroundings on board ship as a bale of fine cinnamon will lose much of it's delicate aroma if packed among bales of coarser bark. Vari- ous expedients have been tried to- remedy this. The Portuguese and Dutch isolated the bales by packing them in cocoanut fiber or in hides, but it is found that the only real safeguard is to pack bags of pepper. between the bales. -- New York Tribune.
