The Ohio Penitentiary News gives some whole
some advice that is we'll worthy of serious thought
and reflection. In part, edtOrialy the News says:
''The most interesting part for us to consider
is to work out our own individual lives. We must
build from the place we NOW stand and with the
materials NOW at hand. Not after we get out, but
HERE and NOW.
GRASP your opportunities while you are here.
Do not deude yourself with the fond fallacy that
it's no use in here and that you will start tOmoI
row. for the tomorrow of procrastination never
comes
1--WE may have lost opportunities in the past
we may be imprisoned-we may be way low in
the social scale-we may be ridiculed and punished
WELL WHAT OF 1T?
Lets show that we are bigger than the things
around U.S. Let's show that rise above our
troubles, and let's fight every part of our mental
and physical inclinations that tend to keep us
down.
We do not know why course such as this
should not be beneficial. Do you!
Arrangements have been made for a Mothers
Day service to be conducted by our chaplain,
Rev. c. E. Benson, in the auditorium May 18th,
one week later than the date universally established
as Mothers Day, which is the second Sunday in
May.
AS no doubt all of you are aware, it is custom
ary to wear a white carnation on Mothers Day,
in her memory and in her honor. In view of this,
how many men are there in the institution who
will contribute toa fund to provide flowers to be
worn by the inmates in honor of the memory of
our Mother at our special Mothers Day services,
May 18th.
You must remember the contributions to the
Mothers Day Flower Fund must be of your own
free will. You will not be requested by anyone TO
contribute; your officer will not act a solicitor
in this respect. Each officer will be provided
with blank for the purpose, and the same placed
on your cell bar next Sunday afternoon.
We have no doubt that each and every one
with sufficient balance to their credit will sign
the voucher.
Everybody get together and make this Moth
ers Day service never to-be- forgotten service to
us shut-ins. Last years service grand sue
sess, but let's make this even more successful.
Let us prove to society that the Mother-ove is as
dear to us shut-ins as the Mother-love and senti-
ment is to those outside the walls, even though
some look with skepticism upon such evinced
sentiments

ARMS OF ANTWERP.
They Recall the Queer Custom That
Gave the City Its Name.

They Recall the Queer Custom That
Gave the City Its Name.
Historians relate that Antwerp takes
its name from a castle which in Frank.
ish times marked the site of the city.
This castle was built 60 protect the
entrance to the Scheldt and to pre-
rent foreign traders introducing goods
into the country without paying toll to
the sovereign lord.
The penalty for theft and smuggling
was in those days the cutting of of a
hand, and. as in this case the severed
members were thrown into the Scheldt,
the castle came to be known as And
hunerbo-or, in Flemish, A~ntwerpen-
"the place of hand throwing" The
castle and two severed hands appear
on the city arms to this day.
Antwerp cathedral's tapering spire
was once compared by Charles v. to
mechlin lace. The towers of the old
Steen castle. the fortress palace of the
former counts Of Antwerp, break the
center of the line of docks and look as
stolid and formidable as in the days
when the castle was necessary to guard
the shipping. Here were held those
great fairs which during the middle
ages served to attract merchants from
all parts of the civilized world.-Lon
don Standard.

Trial by Jury,

The New York Law journal says on
the subject of trial by jury:
while we do not think that trial by
jury ought to be abolished or that there
is any increasing sentiment in that di
r%ection. we do believe that the system
should be modified by dispensing with
the requirementfor unanimous verdicts.
This would obviate the element of in
dividual eccentricity as an impeachment
to the administration of justice. Men
tai ~idiosyncrasy on the part of judges
is constantly exhibited and scarcely
excites comment An eminent and
very able judge will dissent from the
ruling of his associates when it is ex-
tremely difficult to understand how so
gifted a mind could have gone off on
that particular tangent. By permitting
affirmances or %reversals. no%twithstand-
ing dissent, the personal equation is
eliminated"

Boxing With the Feet.

The form Of boxing known as "la
savate." in which the feet are used as
we'll as the fists and kicks are as iegiti-
mate as blows. has for a long time
been a popular exercise in French gym
nasia and schools Of arms. The first
principle is that the whole weight Of
the body shall be placed on one leg
and that the farthest from the adver-
sary. The disengaged leg is used as
an adjunct to the fists and flies out
with astonishing swiftness and cur
cy of aim. The coup de savate" prop
err is the "chasse" off the right foot or
"shin hit" a dangerous blow. but one
that is easily avoided by raising the
left knee to the level of the waist,
Formidable as this method of assault
and others, such as the coup d'arret,'
or straight stop hit, and the coup de
figure" or swinging face kick, may be

Commas.

The French do not as a rule employ
inverted commas to indicate a dia-
logue. but they employ the dash to in
dictate a change of speakers, which Is
just as bad. Certainly many punctua-
ton marks are sadly misused or over
used. Dickens flung unnecessary COM
mas all over his pages-whole bat
talions Of them. Walter Pater also
employed them with extraordinary
prodigality. frequently before the word
and where the conjunction rendered
them superfuous. Pater was also
overload of the mark of exclamation.
so that when he drops a Eyes" into
his measured style it must needs ap-
pear as "Yes!" But, though the Bible
does without inverted commas. there
is real art in its punctuation. How ad-
mirably it marks the cadence and helps
the drama in that great story of the
prodigal son!-London Tit Bits.

Wash All Fruit.

Incoming cargoes of fruits should be
closely observed for traces of poison
GUS insecticides. Growers are not al
ways careful to remove all traces of
sprays before marketing their fruit.
Housekeepers can protect themselves
from danger from this source by wash
ing all fruit in several waters before
serving it. 1t would be advisable and
insure greater safety to wash the fruit
before placing it in the storeroom or
ice chest. Sprays and powders of suf.
ficient strength to kill insects which
feed upon and destroy fruit trees and
fruit would prove fatal to life if par
taken of by human beings.

BRYANT'S POETIC CAREER.
Two Facts About His Greatest Work.
"~Thanatopsis."

Bryant was nearly twenty-three
years old when 'Thanatopsis" was first
printed in the North American Review.
So much has been said about the as
founding precocity of this poet and so
many errors have accumulated around
the publication of his masterpiece that
it may be well to state the facts.
We know just W. facts about this
work. First it vas published when
Bryant was almost twenty-three-not
young for a poetic genius; second. that
in its original published form in the
North American Review it is not a re-
markable poem.
1t was in the 1921 edition of Bryant's
poems, when the author was twenty
six OF twenty-Seven. that the work first
appeared in its universally known
form. Only a few minor changes were
made after that date. This disposes Of
the generally accepted statement that
"Thanatopsis" is a juvenile master
piece.
Bryant was. however, a p%recocious
poet. although his p~recocity is not dis
played in his greatest work. One of
the most extraordinary facts about his
poetical career is that he actually pub
lished verse during the administration
Of Thomas jefferson and during the
administration of Rutherford b. Hayes.
So long a period and so slender an out
put speak well for his fastidious taste

UNDERSTANDINGS.

The philosophic term "necessitarians'
is used to denote those persons that
deny the freedom of will and assert
that in human conduct all volitions
are determined by motives that obey
the law of %causation as invariably as
do the forces of nature. The word
"determinists" was suggested al a
substitute by John Stuart Mill and has
been very generally adopted. New

Old Registration System.

The papyri of the Roman period have

of land already existed in a highly
elaborate form, and that it was insti.

state, but also-some think even pri.
marily-in the interests of private in,

the registers up to date, entering in
them all mortgages and other charges,

they were thus enabled to protect an
intending purchaser from oversights
and frauds.-New York Press.

they have been cut being especially
favorable for grinding purposes.

THE new collars give one the choice
1 of barring the throat, leaving it more
or less yelled, or covering it COM
pletely. But almost without exception
they are high at the back, many of
them very high, and the neck is lost
to view. In the greater number the
throat is open. there are faring revers
at the side and turnover portion at
the back. Within these lines the va
riety of ways in which the collars are
cut is really bewildering. To Judge
by this, everyone is to wear novel
things in neckwear, and every style
is to be suited.
Besides the turnover collars, with
revers at the sides and vestees at the
front, there are smart styles with
standing plaits across the back. These
are cut squarely off at the sides, leav-
ing the throat uncovered, but are fin.
ished with a long vestee at the front.
These, like other standing effects, are
supported by fine wires. They are
very high, reaching not much below
the top of the ears.
Then there are the graduated ruff1es
of fine lace which are favorites on
gowns of lace and net and on after
noon gowns of taffeta or faille or
crepe de chine. They are not so high

Stops Heat Ravs.

An interesting chemical paint which
has the property of intercepting the
heat rays of the sun, has recently
been put on the market by German
concern. 1t may be applied to tin,
corrugated iron, slate or glass, indeed,
any material used in the roofing of
buildings. and by it's peculiar quality
leaves the room beneath the roof COM
paratively cool. 1t is stated that the
temperature of workrooms may be re-
duced from Is to 20 degrees Fahren-
heit. according to the surface which
can be covered, and the added eff
cheney of the workmen thus promoted
is a direct and measurable gain. The
paint is light blue in color, SO that, If
applied to glass, it does not appre-
ciably influence the light. It's com.
ponents are at present a trade secret,
but the fact that many large electric
and manufacturing companies in Ger
many are regular users is cited as evi.
dence that it is practical.

rover at the sides and front, finally
disappearing at the top fastening Of
the bodice. But they also require wir.
ing with the finest of silk-covered
wire, to give them the sprightly pose
required.
One of the new collars of sheer ba-
tiste finished with fine embroidery is,
shown in the picture given here. It
is good example of type Of collar
which is featured among the new
dress accessories for spring. Equally
strong as a novelty, the new very
high, standing collars (high at the
front as well as the back, attached
or unattached to the blouse, are COM
manding much attention and may
prove the favorites. Just at the mo-
ment the sheer collar, high at the
back and turned over, open at the
throat, is liked finished by band
of narrow black velvet ribbon which
ties over it around the throat and ap-
pears to support it, although fine
wires really do the work.

lars of embroidered batiste; they pro.

Of man. which wrong thinking, wrong
living and sin have made.
A cheerful, optimistic mind is a sort
OF prism which brings the rainbow
colors out of things which are invisible
to the pessimist.
The prism does not make the colors
IN the spectrum. They are everywhere
in the light before our eyes. Our light
is made up of all the different colors
OF the rainbow. The prism merely sep
arates them and makes them visible to
the eye.
The ability to radiate sunshine is a
greater power than beauty or wealth.
II you would do the maximum of which
you are capable, keep the mind filed
with sunshine, with beauty and truth
with cheerful, uplifting thoughts. Bury
everything that makes you unhappy
and discordant, everything that
cramps your freedom, that worries
you, before it ouries you.
Take joy with you; cling to it, no
matter where you go or what you do.
1t is your lubricating oil which would
prevent the jars, the discords, and
shut out the sorrows of life.
True religion is full of hope, sun.
shine, optimism and cheerfulness. It
is joyous and glad and beautiful. There
is no Christianity in the ugly, the dis
cordant, the sad. The religion which
Christ taught was bright, cheerful and
beautiful. The sunshine, the "lilies Of
the field" the birds of the air." the
hills. the valleys, the trees, the noun
ta1ns, the brooks-all things beauti-
ful-were in his teaching. There was
no cold, dry theology in it. 1t was
just happy Christianity!
Refuse to be gloomy. Cheer up! Get
your mind off your troubles. Do not
think about them. Think of the bright
things in life. Think gratefully of the
good things you have. Wake up, and
be cheerful.
