tenees In the majority of these cases are extremely mild and by no means calcu- lated to discourage brutal officers from a repetition of their offenses. The non- commissioned officer just mentioned was sentenced to three months and 15 days imprisonment and degraded. This is a really severe sentence, but it is at tho same time a most unusual one. Not only is imprisonment for such a term rarely meted out, but degradation is still rarer.
 The following cases is typical Of the nearly 10 occurring on an average each week. A n-commissioned officer of the Third Guard Field Artillery regiment commanded a recruit to clean harnesses. He was not satisfied with the recruit s work and started expressing his dissatis- faction by striking the man over the head with a bridle He then forced him to march up and down in the stables and to do setting up exercises including the fa- tiguing 'knee-bend" until the recruit fell from exhaustion. He kicked him in the thigh and on the knees and other wise maltreated him. The recruit was re- moved to the field hospital suffering, among other things, with concussion of the brain The courtmartial condemned the officer to five weeks light arrest.
 It is not only certain officers who mis- treat recruits. The laster, Tn the absence of officers, are subject to the older pri- yates, and many cases of mishandling in- volve these older men. In a recent case one of these was sentenced to nine weeks Imprisonment for mistreating a recruit in such a manner that one of the victim s eardrums was ruptured, causing partial deafness.
 On the other hand there is short shift for the recruit who raises a nand to de- fend himself against even the most bru- tai assault from superior. He is cer- tain Of imprisonment for a long term.

Ventures In Bad Way

The German wine growing industry Is in a bad way. Every year since l9o6 there has been a shriniSage in the acre age of the vineyards, so that the total has fallen from 297.0OO to 266,OO0 acres. As evidence of the growing distress of the Nintuers the fact is cited that the debts of the 50 cooperative societies of grow CTS on the Moselle have increased from s345, 900 to s2.000,0o within 10 years. The causes of the decline of the industry ara various. Increases in the costs of pro- duction larger imports of foreign wines, defective German legislation, and crop failures from the ravages of insects and plant diseases. Many vineyards have been condemned and destroyed by the government as preventive measure against the spread of the phylloxera.
 The chief cause appears to be found in the increased costs of production. Along the Moselle, as is shown by sta tistics recently published, wages in the vineyards have been almost doubled since 1883, other costs of cultivation have more than doubled. while the costs of materials used have more than tripled. Various methods of relief for the industry have been proposed. Just now there is much talk about putting higher duties on for eign wines. which have been coming into Germany in increasing quantities.

week two valuable parcels of jewels lost by women in the hotel through careless ness. One was a belt containing SSDV0 worth of diamonds. and the other chate- laine bag which had in 1t jewels worth $20 900. n.
 In the first case the woman had cony downstairs to breakfast bringing the belt, which had nine pockets, wrapped in her handkerchief After Smith had questioned her, he learned she had been to the dress ing room and he got her to walk through the hotel to see whether there was any body in 1t who had been in the washroom at the same time. In the palm room she recognized woman who had entered the d/essinx room as she left 1t.
 The dNeetive watched this woman for time. uNil man joined her. Then as they startee out he managed to get ahead of them and to overhear their conyersa- tion. As they passed through the oak room Smith heard her say, T have it in my huff, but haven't had a chance to look at it.
 At this the detective turned and dis played his shield. Madam" he said, you found in the washroom just now parcel belonging to a guest in this house. We, have a lost and found department here and if you don't mind I'll relieve you of tl,zt packet and see that the owner gets it."
 q was going to find the owner" the woman said and handed over the packet, which the detective took gravely and quite as if he accepted her explanation.
 Then a day or two later another woman reported that she had lost bag contain ing jewelry while shopping, and the de- tective spent whole afternoon going over the route she had taken and making in- quries. Before leaving the hotel he had written out advertisements for the papers offering $500 reward for the recovery of her jewels Toward night he found that d floor walker in a store in Twenty third street had picked up the bag The woman gave the finder $50 and the detective S1O, and salved her conscience with the reflec- tion that as the advertisements had not been published she had not really offered the larger reward.

Tired of His Jail

lhcu ol HIS JaH
 II stands to reason that man may become tired of a jail and desire to change it. The same old cells and walls and warders the same routine and the same food, who can blame prisoner for wishing to get into a different penal institution? So 1t was with George Coppinger. who pleaded guilty in New York to a charge of unlawful entry, which car ried with it a term in the penitentiary. rather than stand trial on a charge of burglary. which, if proved, meant a prolonged stay in state prison. You see. he had already served terms aggregating 23 years in state prison and he wanted change
 Small blame to him Many a good man. innocent of of fense against the law, wants a change of prison. He is willing to remain a prisoner, but he wanted the form of his confinement altered.
 | For instance there's the man or wo- I man whose lifework consists of dull. uninteresting, seemingly endless repe 1 titions of the same movement hour | after hour and day after day, broken only by the week day of rest As . rule. persons who engaged in such occupations have to work the longest hours to gain their livelihoods, since their work is of kinds that are learned easily. Frequently. also, they are poor ly paid.
 They are necessary parts of the great machine of lndustrialism, which holds so many of us
 l They'd like to change their jails lThey are not lazy or unwilling to work or unanbitious perhaps, but they beat in vain against the natural disability which units them from working in dix ersified. pleasant ways. Their loi Is hard, and many philanthropic per. sons are endeavoring to alleviate 1t.
 Their prison cells are so pathetically small
 They are sentenced to 1t by the judg-
 ment of lack of opportunity and edu-
 cation. They must serve, in many cases. for the terms of their natural Hives. In just what degree are they
 worse circumstanced than the prisoner convicted of murder and condemned to spend all his life working hard fol the state whose dignity he has out . raged9

Berlin. July 1.-The mceasing criticism bf press and Parliament is slowly reduc- ing the number of cases of mistreatment of soldiers by their officers. but recent report shows that 4sO nor-commissioned officers and officers were convicted of such offenses last year This was re- Auction of 20 cases from the figures of five years ago.
 These 49o convictions by no means indi- cates, however, that only that num- Der of private soldiers were brutally handled during the year. recent case, anl one by no means unusual, was the conviction of a commissioned offl- cer of the Third Bavarian regiment who was charged with no less than 90 offenses against the men under him. One soldier was lamed by being struck on the knee cap with a gunbutt, and there were doz- ens of cases in which recruits We're choked and struck in the face. It is not long since a captain was forced to leave the service after his third conviction Tor mistreating recruits. The charges against him covered brutal treatment in 140 cases.
 Complaints of these conditions made in the Reichstag have from time to time moved the minister of war to declare that the government was equally con- cerned and was doing it's best to put d stop to them. Figures have been quoted 10 show that cases of mistreatment are gradually growing less common. and it has been declared that the government desired that punishment of the offend CTS be exemplary

the constitution of the United States the federal law and the state constitution prohibit slavery "except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted The Rhode Island law and the laws of few other states contain no such provision, and the suit is brought to test the state constitution.
 Whether this man wins his case or not the result cannot alter the fact that the criminal convicted or free, is really slave.
 He Is ensaved to himself.
 He holds himself in an incarceration more rigid than that of the state. He sits perpetually in the cell of wrong thinking. His wrong relationship with the rest of his fellow men shuts him in as in walls of stone and bars of iron.
 In sense 1t may be said that he IS freer than the rest of us. He is free that is, from the restraints which cen turies of development have proved to be We are bound by conventions and nor alities and ethics which we must assume if we are to live as members of civilized, orderly communities
 These are not binding on the crim1- nal For them he substitutes the re- strictions of his own will Co do evil imposed on him by heredity and envi- ronment and that mysterious urge to- ward wrongful action and thought which has always baffled analysis. | He sits in a cell of his own making and ours.

 asked him during a battle where he should take his troops into action.
 "Oh, anywherew said Kearney. "You'll find lovely fighting along the whole linen
 Not alone in wartime is this true. Tn the days of peace one can find good fighting all along the lne-not with armed foes but with the forces of evil. They fight with stronger, more terrible weapons than swords or shrapnel. They are harder to defeat than hostile W warriors.
 Don't sit back and say you can't see where the fighting is to be done. If one cause does not appeal to you. surely you can find another that will engage your sympathies. There's a long list of them-ciyic and economic reform, the abuses of child labor and sweatshop work the oenial of fresh air to the little chil- dren of the slums, the ignorance that prevails in some of our rural back dis tricts. Then, of course, there are "clean-up campaigns" and swat the fly" crusades, and pure food move- ments, and lots of other things which reed help.

Friedman's Remedy No Cure

The North German Gazette, reporting a recent conference in the ministry of the interior, participated in by clinical, pathological and bacteriological experts, on the Friedman remedy for tuberculo- sis, says.
 Tt was the consensus that there could be no claim of any distinct curative effect of the remedy either in cases of pulmona- ry or other varieties of tuberculosis. On the other hand, indeed, ill effects from the use of the remedy were reported. These were in part ascribable to the remedy itself. in part to the fact that the remedy, as made available to physicians, was rendered impure by the presence of for egn bacteria"
 German law knows no limitation of the right of a physician to employ such methods as seems best to him, and for this reason there can be no question of prohibiting the use of the Friedman remedy. The government however has decided to take measures to insure that | the remedy shall not be furnished in an 1 inpre state. The question of its employ ment or unemployment is left to the ] judgment of the physicians.
 October 1 will see an increase of the l telegrap phic detachment of the German army by a new battolion. The desgna- l tion of these troops. however, Is now | only a reminiscence, for there will hence forth be no army telegraphic service. The
