COMFORT IN SWISS PRISONS
Hardly Be Said to Be Abodes Greatly to Be Dreaded.

A Swiss prison would not be a bad place in which to spend a cheap holi- day for a short time, as you have practically all you want-a comfort able cell, central heating, electricity, good food, a fair quantity of wine or beer, and tobacco, and library. One can learn a trade, have plenty of ex- ercise, and there is little work to do in return for all these advantages. Until a year ago, at the Thorberg prison, good conduct prisoners were even allowed out for the day on pa role once a week; but though no prisoners escaped this custom has been suppressed. Of all the Swiss prisons, perhaps the jolliest is that of Kreuzlingen, in the Canton of Thur gau, and an interpolation will be made shortly by deputies in the Grand 1 Council concerning the liberty which the inmates of this establishment en- joy They have weekly smoking con- certs, when the latest music hall songs can be heard, and good music, with the result that at evenings the towns Kreuzlingen has nearly 6,000 inhab habitants-gather enviously under the prison walls and promenade in the street, enjoying the free entertain ment, especially as some of the con victs have good voices On these oc- Icasions there is no warden to prevent a conversation between the prisoners and their visitors across the wall. and l thus the former learn the latest news. lit is noticed that the prisoners are very polite when young women are present. Packets of cigarettes and other small luxuries-not on the regu- lar menu-flnd their way over the walls, and this custom, though strictly forbidden is winked at. These pleas ant little "soirees musicales' are now threatened. It is only fair to the Swiss authorities to say that crime is de- creasing, as the population increases, in the country.

 Am to gather from that remark" smiled the grownup neighbor. that you would like to make some candy now?"
 q think I would" responded the other.
 But you have headache" ven- tured the grownup neighbor dubious ly. 'I don't suppose you would feel like eating any candy even if we made it"
 The small neighbor looked up at her friend doubtfully. "Oh!" she cried as she detected the incipient twinkle in the neighbours eyes, you're making fun. You'll let me have some candy, won't you? My head feels per fectly good. I could eat a bushel of candy and 1t wouldn't hurt me bit"
 I'm afraid" said the grownup neighbor, seriously, when the candy was on the stove and the small visitor was standing on her tiptoes to watch it bubble, that the awful accusation made against me is true"
 The small neighbot's eyes grew very large and round "What?" she asked
 "Well, you know there is a story going the rounds to the effect that you're getting badly spoiled by me"
 Spoiled like apples?" inquired the small neighbor. All brown and wrin- kled and soft so you can stick your finger into them?"
 Well, you're not brown and wrin- kled, and l don't believe I could stick my finger into you"
 Well, then l don't mind being spoiled chirped the small one. "I guess l like it." Then she threw her arms around her friends neck Do you know" she whispered. I'd rather stay here and play with you than go to any school ever went to in all my whole life
 The grownup neighbor gave her severe hug. I'm simply fattered to death" she declared.

ALL CITIES DUST PRODUCERS
Be Otherwise, and Thus Unssni- tary Conditions Arise.

Modern cities are dust-producers. Streets and pavements and sidewalks are worn by the friction of the traffic, car wheels are ground to metallic dust; fabrics are torn to lint fuel
 burns with products of smoke and ashes, says a writer in the Atlantic Magazine. Dust Is being continually
 produced both within and without .our houses. Recent studies in sev- eral cities have shown that the num- bers of dust particles In the air above sidewalks range from one hundred thousand to a million per cubic foot
 At higher levels the numbers are less
 At the Woolworth building in New York, the highest building in the world (7l6 feeD, the air at the street level July 2, 1913, contained 221 ,000 dust particles per cubic foot; at the tenth story, S5000; at the thirtieth story, 10000, and at the fifty-seventh story, 27000. AS a figure for com
 parison. tha air over Long Island sound at a point several miles from shore was found to contain 1S,000 dust bacteria, but the numbers are
 fewer than those of the dust parti- lcles. At the John Hancock building 1 in Boston, the air near the sidewalk contained 1880 bacteria and 20 molds

Improved Slot Machine.

An inventor in Birmingham, Eng land, has produced a slot machine which is said to prevent the extrac- tion of goods by the use of metal disks and coins of less value than those intended to be used. It also rejects rubbish which may be pushed into the slot. The machine is con structed in such way as to test coins and throw out commercials If 1t will do all that is claimed for it this invention will eliminate some of the greatest defects of the present slot vending machines.-The Pathfinder

Education of the Heart.

I have read books enough and ob- served and conversed with enough eminent and splendidly cultured minds, too, in my time; but 1 assure you, have heard higher sentiments from the lips of poor uneducated men and wom- en, when exerting the spirit of severe vet gentle heroism under difficulties and afIiictions, or speaking their sim ple thoughts as to circumstances in the lot of friends and neighbors, than ever yet met with out of the Bible. We shall never learn to feel and re- spect our real calling and destiny, un- Iess we have taught ourselves to con- sider everything as moonshine com. pared with the education of the heart.

Nantucket Reached Port.
tBy Associated Pressl

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 3O.-The Nantuck
ct reached the dock here at 1:30 this
afternoon. Just how the vessels met
in such a terrific impact is still un.
known. Both captains were on the
bridge at the time. The Monroe, which
is the first vessel the Old Dominion
line ever lost, was supposed to be
built to withstand any collision. Her
foghorn's dreary blaring had kept
some of the passengers awake. and
these had the best chance to escape.
Others were thrown from their berths
by the shock and had not time to dress
before the Monroe sank. Some were
drawn screaming into her vortex. The
Nantucket's sear>alight, penetrating
the fog only a short distance, barely
revealed the sinking ship. The Nan
tucket's life boats. guided by shouts
and cries in the fog, picked the sur
vivors out of the sea.

FARMERS WARNED
AS To FERTILIZERS
Some Being Sold in Texas Not Up to

That some manufacturers are selling
an inferior quality of cotton seed meal
for fertilizer and which has not been
tagged according to law is the state
ment of DR.. G. S. Traps, State chemist
at the A. & NJ. College. His advice to
consumers is not to accept meal which
is not tagged
DR.. Traps issued statement which
follows:
Some cotton seed meal has been
sold in the State for fertilizer purposes
which has not been tagged, and which
does not show the guaranteed analysis
required by law. Some of this is of
inferior quality, as it contains an ex.
cess of hulls. and could not be sold as
cooton seed meal for this reason.
Purchasers of cotton seed meal should
see that the meal is guaranteed under
the law for their own protection. They
should refuse to accept meal not prop
erly tagged The State chemist is
making every effort to see that fer
tilizers sold in this State come up to
guarantee. Any person who sells fer
tilizer contrary to the law is liable to
prosecution. Ignorance Of the law is
no excuse. G. S. TRAPS.
