DincliilliU' In MllHnry J 11 I'orin, littt Itefornintoi-- In Spirit. A Japanese prlmm Ik thus described: "Imnglno n park or garden in tuo Jap anese style, with dwarf trees, surround cd by 11 hedge instead of a wall. In this park omo sees a group of Japa nose houses like those oeouptod by the peasants. Tl;t' prisoners are nil nt work, proportioned to tliolr physical ability. Some nre thrashing nnd grinding rice. Others rfre ueaviiiK coarse cloth of a dark red color of which the prison uni form are made. The old nnd lnflrni are separating leaves of paper. All of thorn receive a percentage of their earn ings. The younger prisoners pre In school. The discipline H military In form, but In Its spirit reforifhatory. Thero are few evasions, notwithstanding the ease with which they could be effected. One reason lor this is the elllclency of the Japanese police, which Is said to bo the best in the world. Tile prisoners are divided Into three grades and are differently fed, according as they arc idle and refractory, amenable to disci pline or exceptionally well behaved. The only other punishment Is solitary confinement in a sort of dungeon, not exceeding five days. No prisoner may bo discharged, however short his term of Bcntence, unless his family or friends assume responsibility for him. The re sult ha.s been the organization of a large number of prisoners' afd socie ties." ' FEVER HEAT. Tlio ItonMni Sonic Frtiltn Itnvp (lie i:nvcs of Cuoiihk tin- iiiimmi. In health the temperature of the blood is constant, nnd even when spots and rashes appear on the skin there is no departure from the normal tem perature unless there is a cause for fever, such as blood poisoning, the In vasion of some microbe or serious dis turbance of the nervous system. In fevers, when the temperature of the blood is raised, vegetables are never given, as they would not cool the blood, but might help to beat it. Some fruits have cooling properties, as they contain citric acid, and this forms citrates in the blood and in creases the perspiration. In serious fevers, however, it Is much safer to give measured quantities of citrates to produce this effect than to trust to the uncertain action of fruit. Fruit and fresh vegetables are anti sorbuttcs that Is to say, they are ap posed to scurvy. The cause of this dis eas Is not early understood, but 11 is certainly due to an absence of these wholesome constituents from the diet. The flushing of the skin, with spots nnd rashes, popularly called "heating of the blood." Is relieved and effete matter is eliminated by their use, hence the popular phrase that they cool the blood., SOAP BUBBLES. The Mctlinil Nitton Alop(cl In Mn nrlnn TIipnc Tli In KiluiH. Sir Isaac Newton studied the colored rings In soup bubbles, which appear white at tlrst and then, as the bubble Is blown out, brilliant iridescent colors appear In zones around the summit till it" becomes black and bursts. Thcae films Newton succeeded in measuring by their color, producing them by a jdano convex lens on plato glass. At the point of contact was a black spot with some six or seven rings of light and dark colors alternately. The thicknesses of the dark rings ho found proportional to the numbers 0, 2, 4, 0, and of the bright rings' propor tional to 1, 3, fi. The thickness of a sky blue film was found to be two-mil-lionths o un inch; of orange red, eight; of violet, eleven; of green, fifteen; of purple, twenty-one, nnd of yellow, tweuty-seveii-inllliontbs of au inch. Messrs. Itucker and Itclnold more re cently conllnued this by measuring black soup lilms, which they ilnd aver age three or four mllllonths of an inch. This, theu, fs a mensuro of the depth of wnter and the particle of soap wbfen together make up the feotip bubble film. A Pretty Niinie For u filrl. "You didn't think of the -work wo Lave to do wheu you christened It," said the Ebbew Vale magistrate's clerk wearily on Fnturday when an applicant for a certificate of exemption from vac cination stated that his child's name was Cnerelraelbbwyneth. The Applicant Can't you spell It? Thetflerk I may got at it if you give me time. Is it a boy or a girl? The Applicant A girl. , "What Is the meaning of the name?" j "I will tell you when I have more j tine." I A Welsh minister In court explained 1 that the literal meaning of the name was "snow lover." London Mall. A Trick of tlie Trade. Many of the local curiosity shops planted in the back streets of most county and country towns are simply kept up by largo London firms who, from a prolonged study of human na ture, have discovered that people who are shy of buying old furniture or old sliver In Bond street or Piccadilly are ready and eager purchasers of precisely the same objects, at a rather higher price, when they come upon them In the back streets of a country town.

Every one who goeu to India to travel or- live at hotels, hays the Chicago Ree-ord-IIerald. must have a pergonal serv ant, a native who performs the duties of valet, waiter and errand boy nnd whatever else may be required of him. This Is a fixed custom of the country, to resist which brings endless trouble to tlie traveler. Many of the Indian hotels c.spcct the guests to bring all their own servants, both chambermaids and waiters, and are consequently so short bunded that the traveler who comes without them has usually to wait upon himself. On the railways a native servant is quite indispensable, for travelers are required to carry their own bedding, make their own beds nnd furnish their own towels. The coinpnny provides a bench to sleep on slmllnr to those in American freight cabooses. Each car has also a washroom and sometimes water. But If the traveler wishes to lie sure of washing his face in the morning and if he Is wise he will send his M'rvnnt to the station master before tlie train starts and ask to have the water tank tilled. Then a Hindoo with a goatskin full of water will climb to the roof of the car and fill it and, having descended, will stnnd be fore the door and touch his forehead every time the traveler looks toward him till ho receives a penny. At the eating houses along the road the servnnt will have to raid the ta bles and shelves for food and bring it to the car for his master, since no wait ers are provided. In addition he will hire baggast! carriers and will attend to all the details of catching trains and engaging rooms. A good servant can be hired for ?1" a month. Poorer "bearers," as they are called, can be engaged for ?2 or $3 a month and expect to "find" them selves, but the traveler must pay roll way faro for them. THE BOOKS THEY READ. Cowper read only ids Bible nnd his prayer book. Chopin rarely read auythlng heavier than a French novel. Voltaire's fiivorlte classical author was Juvenal, the satirist Itossinl for nearly thirty ypars read nothing but French novels. Jean Paul Hichter had only five or six books, nil philosophical.

Franklin read all he could find re lating to political economy und nuance. Michael Augelo was fondest of tlio books of Moses and the psalms of Da vid. Bach was no great reader, but much enjoyed books of Jokes and funny sto ries. - The man who is miscmoie ana mattes a bluff at happiness Is a benefactor for keeping his sorrows to himself.

The associated press reporter at Alliance gave out a good story in Wednesda dailies of the elephant scare that took place at the show grounds last Monday, in which a panic among the spectators was narrowly averted. That man is almost big enough elaborator to go into the news paper business and has evidently missed his calling. w It is reported that a mau named John Kuthbert who left Alliance with the Main show Monday night was held up and after being relieved of his cash was thrown from the train near Lakeside. He sustained a broken collar bone. A man who has no more sense than to follow off a show or go up against circus shell games is entitled to sympathy. The patience of the most patient resi dent of this community was sorely tried last Wednesday, when the weather man let loose one of the most fierce winds that has blown here for weeks. And with it came a cloud of sand nnd dust that seemed even to penetrate a brick wall. An alarm of fire in the afternoon called the depart ment to an alley, where some 'rubbish and A fence were flro. Hnil the adjoining buildings caught fire the situation would havelietn serious. Col.

The fine horse and buggy of Richard Waters of the Dierks Lumber company wns in a lively runaway last Friday even ing, coming to an abrupt stop at the Rod gors corner whore the horse turned too short and a wheel of the fine rubbertired buggy came in contact with a telephone pole upsetting the vuhicle and throwing the horse in the gutter.

Thk IIkiiai.d wishes for- the happiness of the newly married couple. W. A. McAllister wu3oxyr at Bnssett on the Northwesturn for several days last week, returning Monday. While there he enjoyed the pleasure of ranch life, and t jlls interesting stories of the broncho aud spurs, how everybody on the ranch had 10 turn in with the chickens and get up be fore breakfast. Where the range horses buck with their front feet and life on the hurricane deck of one of these critters is worth a trip that distance nny time. W. A. declares that even Ward McAllister of the noted 400 could not feel bat that It would be au interesting pastime. " ThoAVallcr L. Main show arrived from Newcastle Sunday morning about 7 30, and in a very short space of time had the tents erected and everything in order where they located in the west part of town. Tlio show drew a largo crowd of people to town Monday. While there are some expressions of disirnpointment as to the performances iu was generally confined to the concert that followed the main per furinance The lion.es connected wit'i the circus were the finest that ever 10m to Alliance. The heavy draft horse1 that did Ui j heavy hauling and roust-about work were the admiration of all, and the ring horses were equally as fine There was an air of cleanliness about the Main circus, indicating that order and system prevailed. The most interesting features of the performance, which was all good, were the Nelson and Boyce families, acrobats aud tumblers. Also the trapes work of the actress who excelled anything ever seen before. Whh tlio circus were several smooth card trlxtcrs and they suc ceeded in plying their nefarious games successfully on the unsuspecting suckers. If the like were attempted by local talent there would be a shaking up of dry bones, but with the stranger, "on again, gone again, Flanagan," it was different. J D. Harrison, Main's preys agent, is well ac quainted with the circus business, hiving been associated with almost every leading aggregation including Buffalo Bill's wild west show lie at one time was an able newspaper man, but like most of them, quit the business and went into something that paid a living. Hound Over to District Court. The case of Mrs. Celestia Worley s. Eugene Thompson, the charge being '"in tent to commit great bodily injury" came up for hearing yesterday in county court The defemjnnt was bound over to the next term of the district court, bail being fixed at $1,000.
