wow convicts Are Treated in the Tonnes.
Edward Iludeee, who says he spent two
and a half years as a convict miner in the
coal mines in and near Briceville, Teen.,
tents Chief of Police Deitsch, of Cincinnati,
a horrible story of the treatment accorded
the convicts. He says the men are divided
into gangs and heve a certain amount to do
each iitsy. If they fail to get out the re-
quired amount, they are beaten with an
instrument which very much resembles the
Russian knout. All are whipped, no matter
if all but one or two did their share. He
claims that he has ;seen convicts die from
this beating, and Hudson ittehimeelf a mas
• of sears. Every cut of the knout draws
blood. Two men he had known commit
•suicide to avoid punishment, and °thereto:A
been known to pull great pieces of slate
down upon themselves, hoping to maim
themselves so thee they could not work in
the mines. Hudsoner story is on aline with
• that of a very eminent professor of national
repute who recently investigated the Ten
nesse° system', and described it aa worse
than Siberia. --Cincinnati Enquirer.
Temperance and Other Items.
High license works so well (!) in Chime,
that within five years the saloons have
increased 85 per cena, while the population
has advanced 10 rier cent.
As the eeciond investigetion into General
Booth's schemes has clearly vindicated him
and the Army, it were well for the metiers
• to be silent and lend a hand.
A committee from the Illinois W. (1. T.
U. visited the State Legislature last week
in the interests of the three measures which
they wish revised --municipal suffrage, a
home for erring women, and a higher age of
consent.
• By dne observation I have found that if
the murders and manslaughters, the burgla-
ries and robberies, the riots and tumults
and other enormities that have happened
in that time (twenty years) were divided
• into five parts, four of them have been the
issues and product of excessive drinking. -
Sir Matthew Hale,Chiel Justice of England,
1870.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, hue, the preacher
who so fearlessly attacks Tionraany,Hall, in
• his lecture on "Modern Cities ' said :
"The man who prays like an angel on Sun-
day and votes like a devil on Monday will
find himself in the clutches of the devil at
last. People say we musb wait for publio
sentiment before we can have better laws.
1 tell you laws are 50 • years behind senti-
ment now, and enforcement of hew is a
hundred years behind sentiment. Our
voities must be se.ved, or our nation is lost,
and if they ara saved they must be saved by
the churches."
Inhuman Punishment.
• A suicide in the State Penitentiary at
Lincoln; Neb., has caused great excitement
and discloses modes of punishment that are
cruel and inhuman. For insubordination a
prisoner was confined in the dungeon. His
hands were handcuffed behind hut batik and
to the hands thus bound together was
attarthed a strong cord passing around the
neck; to prevent the rope chafing the neck
he natitrally held his hands as high to his
back as possible. He was lefe in this posi-
tion, having declined to make the apology
• demanded by the warden. Tied in this
way, he could take no rest night or day.
He succeeded in some way in slipping his
'body back through his hands, bringing the
rope in front of him. He then loosed the
rope and in pure desperation hanged him-
self.-Bufalo News.
A Work of Uumautty.
There is an agitation in Ihemilton over
protecting the motormen on the electric
• oars from the exposure they suffer by stand-
• ing on the platforms. 5 trauge to say, the
management of the road asserb that if the
drivers are protected more accidents are
likely to occur. Here the driverts aro
covered all the year round, and an accident
has never happened on the line'although
at times the cars run very fast Surely the
man who is shielded from the biting blast
must have his wits under better control

they will become better eervants.--St.

If I were a man, says a woman, I would
cultivate the habit of ocoo.sionally turning
a pretty compliment. It's the latoh-key to
courtship. 1 don't mean to be continually
at it, and be complimentary on every occa-
sion and make oneself like a same punster
a nuisance, but let go of a fetching cornpli!,
ment on a real good opportunity. It pays
every time. A girl will declare she detests
compliments and would rather have the
truth every time, even if it is distasteful,
but don't you be deceived. Give • her a
pretty compliment, and if she forgets every.
thing else you've said to her the% renaem-
ber that particular bit of conversation and
run over the next morning bright and early,
to repeat it to her dearest friend. She tells
you that you are just horrid to say Such
things when you know you don't mean
them, and then she'll stay awake half the
night to think it over and will dub you the
"nicest man she knows."
The women who are advocating reforms
for their sisters and who see in the tendency
of eastern statistics a preponderance in the
number of women over men, may notice
something worthy of consideration in the
report from California that a "girl famine"
is aotually apparent there. In Los Angeles
the male population exceeds the female by
2,000, in San Jose and Stockton by 1,000,
in Fresno by 2,600, in Sacramento by 4,000,
and in San Francisco by the startling num-
ber of 40,000. The Chinese element left
out would change the figures somewhat, but
110t enough to deter a movement toward
making even the figures between the east
and the west. If the men could be induced
to come east for partners for life much good
could be done. Perhaps, after all, merriage
is prefereahle to suffrage, and if a meeting
could be brought about there would be great
rejoicing and ringing of marriage bells.
The sizeble army of beer -drinkers as well
as the liN insurance companies, will be in-
terested in a rernarkahie decision in the
United States Court at Providence, R. I. A
suit was brougrie by tree ampuuserator ot
the estate of Patrick J. Mollele to recover
on a life insurance policy issued to the latter
in the mem of $5,000. At the time of making
his application Mr. Markle, in answer to
the usual questions, informed the agent of
the company that he was not what is known
as a drinker, although he ocassionally
took a glass of beer. He died within
a year from the date of the policy, and the
proofs of death, filed at the offioe of the
company, showed that it was caused by ex-
haustion. But a coroner had decidt d that
McHale died of delirium tremens. On this
ground the company refused to pay. the
policy. Upon the trial the plaintiff °teamed
that the 'deceased was not an habitual
drinker and offered to prove thee) the
answers made by him to the questions of
the agent in regard to his habits at that
time were true. This evidence the court
refused to receive, declaring that the state-
ment of Melia% was equivalent to a denial
of the use of any intoxicante but beer, and
directing the jury to bring in a verdict for
the company.
• Cooking classes for gentlemen ! The
final blow to that honorable and old fash-
ioned institution of matrimony. Modern
developments are itt league against wed-
lock. Patent buttons have been fashioned
that preclude the necessity of a needle.
Depots of repairs are establishedfrom which
issue skilled hand -maddens to go into the
bachelor's home and reduce the rents in
hose and the fractures in linen at minimum
cost. The trained nurse has monopolized
the most teneer of wifely devotions. lo-
oked, the wife is summarily dismissed
from the husband's sick room if
danger is itarninent. And the trained
nurse is a most engaging, low -voiced
gentle institution in pietureeque
cap and apron. Her hands are like velvet
to the touoh, but strong and wondrous deft,
says the New York Sun. She knows how
to coax and how to command, without irri-
tation or fussiness. • Obedience ia delicious
when in accord with her sovereign will.
Her dress never rustles. She never cries
over a fellow when he is too
ghastly sick to endure it. She
doesn'e get her precious feelings in-
jured when his head thumps so he
is obliged to call on his Maker with undue
unction and famlliarity. Apartment houses
and olubs galore are luxuriously appointed
for the bachelor's comfort,. Gentle women
and fresh young maidens sympathize with
his ideals and ambitions, and vex him not
with teles of the cook's delinquencies or
bills for millinery. The chafing dish has
been evolved to give zest to his lonely
estate. And now the cooking class.
Receptions, high teas and luncheons suc-
cessfully given without a hostess. Beef-
steak always rare and to one's liking.
Quails broiled to a turn and terrapin
divinely seasoned. "Alt this and heaven,
too," as the old Long Island deacon said
when he saw Lyman B:merelier'ir parlor, with
its rag carpet and six ornately decorated
wooden chews.
e A Sb. LOWS woman has the queerest hue -

yieldihg. She fed him 15 cents' worth of
whiskey to nerve him up to the proper
heroic pitch for the deed, but his cowardice
exceeded his kindness of heart, and he in-
sisted on clinging to life and keeping the
'Woman out of $200 insurance money and

as she arranged her hair and put o. ltttle

Before Going to Sleep.
Early in the evening your sleeping apart-
ment should be well awed by dropping the
window from the top and raising it at tbe
bottom. Ten minutest will be quite sufficient
for clearing the atmosphere. Now close the
window and allow the room to become thor-
oughly warmed, that you may not experience
a chill while taking a rub down. Prepare a
big bowl of tepid water, into which you be-
sprinkle a small quantity of ammonia or
borax. Take a Turkish towel, which is much
better than a sponge, wring it out as dry as
possible, and, grasping a, corner in each
hand, give the spine a vigorous rubbing.
Have at hand another Tarkise towel, and,
as you bathe the body in sections, dry as
quickly as pemible. How youramooth, white
akin will glow as you start into potion the
sluggish circulation!

sable round the ham. The braiding rose in
high points at either side of the front and i

dox fluting. The jacket was a delightful

the bulk of the fulness is at the back. There

Evening sleeves are either balloon -shaped

STONES—ONE OF EVERYTHING.
lt would be quite a mistake to say that
diamonds are out of faahion. So long as
these • money -worshipping days obtain,
these stones, which represent wealth, can
never truly be said to be out of fashion.
Nevertheless it is true that the smartest
women are out of conceit with their
diamonds. When they have them all on
in impoeing array at a ball, the wite of a
parvenu either egeals or eclipses them,
and not even spiteful reflections regarding
soap, candles, frozen meats, biscuite,
mustard, vinegar, contracting for trousers,
or any other of the hundred and one vulgar
ways in which money is amassed, console
the blue-blooded ladies for the fact that
Otto plebian diamonds are the eqaals of
their own. It is, therefore, DOW con-
eidered smart to wear very little jewelry,
•but that litt/e meat be unique, so that
though Mrs. Overdone -Jones may bedeck
her person with jewels whichwould have
astonished Her Mejesty of Sheba, yet the
Hon. Moe UltraRefin has on one ruby,
one emerald, one string of pearls, one
cotesey& or, one pink topaz, which the
conwoieseur knows to be as valuable and
more rare than ell that the parvenu lady
wears.
HAT BIZ:MIMES CONSIGNED TO LIMBO.
• The diamond buckle, or its imitation,
flashes from all the hats and bonnets one
encounters; but the beginning of the end
cannot be far off, as it has been made so
common. It will be a pity when the buckle
goee the way of all fashions. Along with
glaring artificial flowers and bows of vivid
velvet, it shares the credit of having stayed
bird -slaughter for a while, whereas when
quieter millinery gains favor again, the
leathered corpse wall be recommended by
all modistes as the one thing needful to give
a touch of color. The poke bonnethave

consequently less hideous than when they
first came on the scene. Though violets are

EVENLNG DRESS AND D Arms.
One thing to be kept caref dIy in mind
when selecting a color for an honing gown
is that it be chosen by artifloial t gilt. There
is nothing nicer for a plain satire/ gown than
to be made in Princess etyle. se favorite
foot trimming is a roll of velvetand satin
twined round each other. Of collate sleeves
are important; velvet is most becoming,
but velvet is rather expensive. , Brocade
Weaves are pretty. There is a sort of soft
brocade woven in England whiich makes
most picturesque sleeves and which is not
at all expensive. Then there is the deep
collar round the low bodice to be thought
of. • Lace or embroidery is beret for that.
Most mothers of families can prtwide their
girls with enough lace of the real old valu-
able description to form a colla. If note
imitations are good enough to deceive all
but experts, and are not costly.
Nistare has not been equally good to all
women in the matter of prese table arms,
but then good old Mother ature never
intended her daughters to p °claim their
defects, and there is no law a all to make
women exhibit in evening dres ; either raw,
red looking or painfully &dem :Wed limbs.
That they think there is such a law, or else
that they are quite incapable of judgment
concerning their own members:, in made
painfully apperent in every bell room. All
one can say : "Pity 'tie ; 'Ws so,'' and to
suggest that long sleeves, now mute per-
missible in everting diem, OE long gloves,
would get over the diffieulty.
• now mer DRESS midantimin
The simple and the pktureeque are sue-
t:es/dully combined in little girls' outdoor
attire. Scarlet is much fancied for dark
children, while for fainhaired little maidens
there are eome itharming shades of eleotric
blue that are becoming ferthionable. It is
bail taste to dress little girls in the styles
affected by their mammas, and this fab is
at het beginning to be recognized. A few
children's frocke now in evidence may be
deactibed. One is of white embroidered
muslin, trimmed withatale pink ribbons for
a girl of 7. It has long sleeves divided into
three puffs, with bands of pink ribbon, and
there us a eash of the same to tie round the
high waist. The skirt is gathered on a
pointed yoke, oeged with is frill of intateln.

adorned on the akirt with three frille-a
style of trimming which will commend itself
to very tall women. Violet and purple are
both feehionable colors, and the combine. -
tion of purple and brown is quite new.
Swett dresses are quite the exception to the
wile, if not adorned with large sleeves with
some vividly contending color. A black
gown was :sleeved with purple, and a brown
one with ernerelel green.
A pretty pink frock with a high waist: ie
of poplinette, trimmed round the neck with
a double frill of cltep cream lace (almost
cafe au kit color) and hewing a sash of pink
velvet ribbon with long ends falling down
the back. .41" very quaint Flemieh, dress is
in pink shot velveb, lightly trimmed with
narrow gold lace. It has a double pair of
Weaves -these indeed are the principal
features of the these. The inner pair are of
soft white oak and match the chemieette,
but the outer ones are of velvet and adorned
with a row of gold buttons and gold loop.
The latter look pretty with just the laat
two or three buttons fiestened and the rest
left unbuttoned to show the white blouse
sleeves.
A. IMMIX O' THE C.
Its AthectIon Difficult to WM and Easy to
Use.
A meeting of the Society for the Study of
Comparative Psychology was held in the
lecture -room of the Veterinary College,
Uaion avenue, on Tuesday, the 10th inst.,
the President, Dr. Malls, in the chair. Mr.
Stevens read a leegthy and somewhat hum-
orous paper on " Phe Intelligence of the
Cele" He thought the cab was entitled to
more study than it usually received--thie
probably because it does not seek to win
attention and affection as dies the dog.
The nature of the dog is open and de-
monstrative; that of the oat is reserved.
It is easy to gain the affection of a
dog and diffieult to loee it. On the other
hand, it is difficult to win the affection of a
cat and easy to lose it. As with all our
domestic animals, so with the cat, intelli-
gence can only be developed in proportlon
to the kindnese and good treatment shown
towards it. He deprecated the practice of
shutting out cate at night time. By this
practice for generations certain of them
eau develop an hereditary habit of night
prowling. Treated as they should be,
they will soon abandon nocturnal wander-
ingi. However, even in this, cats home
individuality, and there are some curious
and previous exceptions. Careful ob-
servation goes to show that the cat's
native inclination is to hunt the moase or
the rat for sport rather than for fond, and
a cat that is well cared for is more likely to
be successful as a snort seeker than a
hungry grimalkin ; firstly, because it is
more alert, and secondly, because it is
clearer. A hungry and unhappy cat does
not keep its coat clean, and the keen -nosed
mouse can therefore easily sniff out its
whereabouts. All cats have not the huitinct
for mousing. Some, having been deprived
of their kittens, have been known to act as
foster -mothers to young mice or rats and
not even the pangs of hunger will inalee a
mouser of a est that has not iuherited the
instinct of that form of sport -an instinct
that seems to run in families -like the
taste for fox hunting in human beings.-

were all at the church at the appointed
time but the wedding service was evidently
something new and strange to there.
Whether any of the party had ever attendee"
one before is not said, but matters were
certainly pretty much mixed. The bride
took her proper position at the alter; but
instead of the bridogroom taking his place
by her side, it was taken by his best man,
whilst the groom stood alone down near the
door. The service was proceeded with, and
everything went on very well until it came
to the words, "Wilt thou, have thia
woman ?"etc., when the young fellow, whonr
the minster bad imagined to be the groom,
exclaimed, "Tani% me, sir, 'tis John 1'
"Then go and fetch John," said the clergy-
man. john was "fetched,' and the service
was then completed to the satisfaction of all
concerned.
