Son is that no teeking is permitted.
Yet - this regulation is infringed hurt
dreds of times daily. Prisoners are
eonstantly communicating between
themselves, but they do it so • cunning-
ly that
THEY ARE RARELY FOUND OUT.
In the first place, very many old "lags"
are ventriloquists of no mean order.
They have trained themselves by -long
use' to speak in a low but perfe,ctly dis-
tinct voice, without the slightest Tierl-
ceptible movement of the lips.

Out of doors, in the quarries, or on
the farm, it is, of course, easy enoug
for the convicts so employed to talk
one another witheut being overheard'.
The noise of the tools, etc., drowns
their whispers. But even in the shops,
the tailoring, basket -making, and the
like, speech is not, difficult. The rooms
toe large. In most of them not mere
than .two warders are on duty at the
same time, and it is impessible for them
to keep their eyes on fifty or sixty Men
at Once.
„Old jaii-birds have also a 'simple but
conaplete eign language. A prisoner
wants to tell another that someone is

gers, then gives a slight stamp with

Been ofilitunble Position.
The blood of -prince and of peasant,
so it is said, mingles every hundred
years. A striking instance is the case
of Princess Vela, now the wife of Andre-
s() of Spain.
Here .is the story as • given in Le
Monde Moderne : "First cousin to the
Emperor of Russia, to the German Em-
peror and to the heir to the thrond" a
Great Britain, Prineess Ena of Denen-
berg is • almost as nearly related to a
far humbler family circle.
"Toward the beginning of last eerie
tury a Polish Jew, Hauke by name,
entered the service' of the Grand Duke
of Hesse-Darmstadt, and occupied a
very subordinate position at the little
court. His daughter, Julia Theresa,
born in 1825. was, at the age' of 26,
married morganatically by Prince
Alexander of Hesse, two years her
junior.
"Renouncing the faith of her fathers,
she was baptized into the Protestant
church, and by the reigning Grand
Duke was accorded the title first of
Countess of liattenberg and subsequent-
ly of Princest:
"Prince Henry, elle. third child of this
union jeneame the husband of Princess
Beatrice and, of course, father of Prin-
cess Eno, King Alfonso's bride_ Si'
little was he considered as belonging to
the inner circle of European royalty,
that when Queen Victoria conferred
upon him the rank -or Royal Highness
protests arose on all sides.
"Formal notificateons were made by,
the courts of Berlin, Vienna arid St.
Petersburg to the effect that Queen
Victoria's issue • of a mor-
ganatic, union. could not be recognized
as 'loyal Highness elsewhere than ore

affront is put becomes Queen of Spain

signs for having received or written
letters, others for diet, floggings, and so
on.
Seeing that convicts are searched
from two to four tinies a day, besides a
special inspection about once a month,
-it might be supposed impossible for, a
man to conceal about his person any
forbidden luxury such as tobacco,
newspapers, or the like. Yet any war-
der can tell you plenty, of instances to
the contrary. One map. who recently
served five years in a southern convict
prison carried about with him during
the whole dh his sentence a consider-
able sum in bank -notes.
This seems at first sight impossible,
for prisoners' clothes are more or less
comnion property. But this man was
of extra height and girth. and so was
granted the privilege of a speeial kit.
He sewed the notes into the seam of his
shirt, and, as he did tailoring in his
own cell, every Saturday he transfer-
red his store from one shirt„to another.
Another man constantly carried about
Lon,don papers which he wore under
a cholera -belt tightly strapped to his
waist, andemanaged to read during his
