Bicycle for Women. It ie not an inaprobalde thing that teicycl lug for ladle++ will be an accomplithed at before -many days, as a. Washington vole - =akin arm has lately completed a bicycle aud tandem bicycle, especially built with view to meet detnauds of lady riders. The ladiee' bicycle consists of a ;31/Inch rear-dm- ing wheel and n 24 -inch front -steering wheel connected by a U-shaped frame with ample space between the mat and hand -bar to allow freedom to the skirta for graceful moutaing and diem:meting. The seat is stationed di- rectly over the frone wheel, with the pedals immediately beneath, BO that when meted thelady standsin auabsoltite vertical inanition over the pedals. The frame to which the pedals are attached is low, near the ground, enables the machine to be worked with per- fect ease and without awkwardness or dia. arrangement of altirts. The maebine is geared to a 04-3nch wheel if desired, or any other gear that may be ordered. The tan- dem bicycle is one 32 -inch driving and one 24 inch front steering wheel, with a connect- ing frame dropping low to the ground and running forward entirely beneath the foot of the front rider, thua having no gearing or frame of any land in front of the forward rider, the handle -bars extending from the rear around to the side of the forward rider. Both riders sit directly over the rear wheel and drive it hy two sets of pedals ath end- less chains. The steering and balancing is entirely under the control ot the rear rider, making it unnecessary that the front one shall know anything about cycling. Seve- ral ladies have tried it and pronounce it a great success. Th Raccoon and Skunk.

What shall be done with and for the un- employed and famishing poor, is one of the hardest problems which Christian civilize - tion has now to solve. It may be that the sum total of abject poverty and suffering even in England where the cry of starving thousands waxes exceedingly bitter, is not greater & w tan in former days, but ily that it is being brought more into notice by con- trast with the increasing comfort of tan well- to-do labourers on the one hand, and with the abounding wealth of the middle and upper classes on the other. lino, from whatever cause, there seems good reason ts believe that never before were the gaunt visages of hungry men, women, and child- ren set so prominently before the eyes of the nation. And never before, there is good reason to believe, was the question of how the national reproach is to be wiped away, and those at least who are able and willing to work given the opportunity they seek to earn their bread, tha subject of no much earnest inquiry and thought. The result promised is an early and great reform in English methods of dealing with pauperism. As Bomb one has recently expressed it, "it is evident that in her future dealings with pauperism England will reserve her • charities for these who cannot work, and her penalties for those who will not work; but to those who at low wages both will and can work, the work shall be granted." Many projects are • devised, numbers of which fail, but some of which are succeeding admirably. Amongst the latter is the experiment made last year, and repeated this year, at Chelsea with the most gratifying results. As described ina recent artiele in the Contemporary Review, thia experiment was simply one in road - making. • It was taken charge- of ,by the local vestry without the aid of contractors. The pay ranged from 4d. per hour for "hacking" to 9d. per hour for paving. Though it was doubted when the offer was made if one hundred • men would present themselves three hundred were on hand the first day. The writer of the article says that to his own knowledge there were among them car- penters, plasterers, bricklayers, ' fitters, shoemakers, watchmakers, printers, hat- ters, gentlemen's servants, and tailors. The severe work tired many at firat, but with the good food they were able to -procure there was 110011 a marvellous tin rovement in strength and physiqqe."One aeareely knew the men again." Two thousand pounds was distributed in this,way ; butnot only was many a wife and her little ones saved from hunger and suffering, but a good road: was ?Stunt at a price "which nand not he bettered for the quality of work." • The story is eloquent in its pathee and sugges- tivenews. Does Prohibition Prohibit? Yes and no. Yee, evbere pablic meth ment is strongly in favour of it, No, where It fen t. Now this 13 a plain statement of fent, dernonatrated by experience wherever a prohibition law has berm tried. Several States of the *Union ba,ve constitutional tarohibition braked by aapplementery lawa tor its operntion. In each of those States the success or Wilmot)! the Jaw is owing en- tirely to the kind of public aentiment behind it. In the rural counties or districts as a rule public sentiment is strongly in favour of prohibition, and there the law in general- ly enforced. In the largo cities it is not en- forced simply because public sentitneat does not demand that it shall be. Then whet do they really have in those States? In form they have conetitutional prohibition; in actual. practice they have "local option." But there is one thing they do not have which 'We do have in connection with local option in Michigan. They have no means of restrieting or reglulating the liquor traf- fic in those places where prohibition does not probibit. They cannot mann the penal- ty of a high taxon the traffic; it is free and goes on unrestricted in defiance of ithe law, A high tax and stringent regulation would very largely decrease the number of places where liquor is sold in those cittea where prohibition cannot be enforced. In all other localities where prohibition can be enforced. i1 could he secured just as well under a local option law as under State prohibition. Therefore, we claim that Michigan has to- day more effective methods for prohibiting the saloon traffic than has Maine, or any other State under constitutional or statutory prohibition. We claim this because we know that "prohibition does not prohibit" i in places where public sentiment s oat in favour of it. InBangor and in Portland, in the old prohibition State of Maine, are Many grog -shops which could be wiped out by a, high -tax law. If this were done don't you believe it would be better Inc the 4:muse of temperance in that State? Isn't it better to curtail the traffic in those places where it exists in defiance of law than to let it go entirely unrestricted? The point we make is aheadynnderstood, viz, : that ,a -local op- tion law coupled with a high tax and. string- ent regulation lawa is the most practical and effective method of prohibiting the liquor traffic that can be devised or applied: And we believe that all good teraperence people who are after results rather than impossible ends will agree with us. Let it always be horzie in mind that whenever pulnie senti- ment in any county in Michigan is ,up to that point where it 311/1 enforce, prohibition, Shat county can at once secure prohibition under tae present eption law.

Stela criminate receive front twenty to fifty lashes, half at the begiunine and half at the end of the term of imprisonment. A. careful account is kept of the prienner'a conduct and industry throughout his term. For the first nine months of his imprieon- ment he is kept in solitary confinement, working by himself, and not allowed to speak to any one. After that he works with his fellow -prisoners, and, under cer- tain reetrictions, is permitted to talk and associate with them. If the prisoner gets two hundred and twenty-fonr good marks a month for two years, hefraplaced in what is called the third grade and if his record is equally, good for the next tsvo years, he reaches the second, and then the first grade. He than becomes entitled to a shortening of his term, and is set free on what is called "a ticket of leave," by which is meant that, while he is at large, he is under the eye of the police, and must behave hinnelf, and report himself regular- ly at statedtimes until the expiration of his ticket of leave. , " The cells in the English "prisons:" says Mr, Fay,' "ate eonstructed on quite different principles frora ours.
