THIEVES' SCHOOL INSIDE PRISON.
Alonzo J. Whiteman Caught Teaching
Tricks to Convicts.
Rochester, N. Y. Alonzo J. Wnlte
man, ex-mayor of Duluth. Minn., and
notorious criminal, has been removed
to Dannomora prison from the state
prison at. Ashhurn. The climate did
not agree with him at. Auburn and
either on account of that or the prison
fare his stomach became affected,
causing much sickness and discom
fort. Whiteman was sent to jail two years
ago for stealing $7f0 from a trust
company of Buffalo. He is a native
of Danville, "N. Y., and was a graduate
or Hamilton college.
The superintendent of the Auburn
prison says Whiteman is one of the
most intellectual men ho has ever met.
When first taken to tho prison he was
put to teaching in the prison school.
It was ascertained soon, it is stated,
that he was teaching some of the stu
dents on the sly to work the banks
for an easy living when they were
once liberated. So Whiteman's career
as a teacher came to a sudden close.
Then lie took up the study of .stenog
raphy in tho superintendent's office
and now can follow a speaker at 100

LAPPS 0 DEGREASE
REINDEER ALSO GRADUALLY
GROWING SCARCER.
Herd Sold for Strong Drink Nomad,
ic People Rapidly Diminishing,
But No Other Nation Can
Take Their Place.
Washington. The Lapps arc de
renting in number. Tho most san
guine estimate of the numbers of the
ntlv1 race in Norway. Sweden and
tussla dues not place them above 51,-
000 Hy Kime the number is placed
far lower on the strength of trust
worthy data. In Norhottcn, the mini
Dor of Lapps is 11,000, of whom 2,500
ire nomad Lapps and 500 settled,
since, a certain number of Lapp fanv
Mod have abandoned their wandering
mbits. have built habitations here
ind there, and have endeavored, with
more or less success, to imitate the
life of the Swedish settler.
That the nice must die out eventu
ally is certain, and its diminution may
he very speedy, though its complete
extinction may he still far off, since
there is no race that can possibly take
ts place on the high reindeer fjaell.
Yet even here we come upon a factor
which ha, perhaps, hardly heen reck
oned with. We mean the decrease of
the herds of tame teindeer.
This has heen going on in the last
piarter of a century with striking
rapidity. In one district alone In tho
ust 12 ears the reindeer have dimin-
shed from an estimated IlO.OOO to an
estimated 7.000. This decrease is ex
plained variously. The commonest and
most plausible explanation which car
ries the authority of men well quali
fied to judge, is that the demand for
eindecr flesh, which has been brought
nearer to the Lap) hy the opening of
the Bohemian railway, has tempted
them to part with the deer at a rate
too rapid for their production.
The herds of reindeer, which are
taken off the high fjaell down to their
winter quarters, aro ifbw within four
or five days of Stockholm, and there
s a good demand for reindeer flesh. It
s said that the Lapp, who is no more
tble to resist strong drink than any
other half-clvillzed man. is plied t'ree-
y with brandy, and In that state will
part with his reindeer for a. trifling
sum, or even for a fresh bottle of spir
ts or two. And he goes hack to his
fjaell stripped of half his herd, and
with nothing to show for it.
Hut there is another cause also al
leged, and that by equally good au
thorities. It is said that Swedish state
education is having upon the Lapp the
effect which not uncommonly follows
the early stages of learning. Every au
tumn Swedes and Lapps alike send
down their children to the nearest na
tional school, where they remain for
the winter months, the Lapps In most
cases having "seminaries' to them
selves. And it is declared that in the
case of both races alike, after a few
years of this training, the youngest
generation, when it comes to the age
of choosing its way of life, shows an
unwillingness to return to the hard
outdoor life of the homes in the in
terior.
MARRIAGE FOR LIFE A CRIME."
So Says Prof. Larkin and Urges Time
Contracts.
Shi) Francisco. In a lecture before.
the San Francisco Sociological society
Prof. Edsinr Larkin, an astronomer,
said: "Marriage for life is the great
est crime that can be committed in tho
world, from either a physological,
psychological or anthropological point
of view and the third party who joins
a man and a woman in a marriage
for life, whether lie acts in civil or re
liXlous procedure or as witness to the
contract. Is the greatest criminal in
the world."
Pi of. Larkin said his views were
the result of 20 years' close study of
anthropology and of human nature.
Continuing, he said: 'Ninety-live pei
cent, of the crimes in the world aro
due to marriage for life, a contract
that must be abolished in time. If it
contiminoh the Anglo-Saxon race lll
be wiped out.

TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known in the
United States.
Tea, not from leaves, hut from the
flowers alone of the plant, is rarely en
countered In commerce. The petals,
stamens, etc., are sun dried, and the
resulting tea is of a rich, deep brown
hue of 'peculiarly delicate odor, and
gives a pale amber colored Infusion
rather more astringent In taste than
that from tho average fair grade leaf.
The taste for It is an acquired one.
and even If this tea could he made
commercially possible, it is doubtful if
it would ever become popular.
Tho American tea trade could ad
vantageously take a suggestion from
the brick tea of the far east. In our
country, tho tea dust, some of -which
is good quality, is not properly
utilized. In Europe it is a regular
article of trade, and it is advertised
and sold as tea dust. In America it is
sold to thousands of cheap restau
rants, who make from it the mixture
of tanlc acid, sugar and boiled milk
which they sell as "tea." If, as In the
orient, this dust was compressed into
bricks, good tea could be made from
it.
KNEW VALUE OF AN OATH.
Colored Witness at Least Was Aware
of Its Pecuniary Worth.
Clarence S. Darrow, tho well known
lawyer and essayist, discussing the
Haywood trial, in which he played so
prominent a part, said tho other day:
"Some of tho evidence in that trial
was so transparently false that it re
minds mo of a case that came off in
Alabama a few years back. One of
tho witnesses in this ease was an ex
tremely ignorant man. As his testi
mony progressed, his ignorance he
came so shockingly evident that the
judge, looking sternly down at him
said:
" 'Look here, sir, aro you acquaint
ed with tho value of an oaths'
"Tho witness answered anxiously:
" 'Jedgo, l hope I am. That thar
lawyer on yer left, hand gimme six dol
lars to sw'ar agin tho other side.
Thet's tho correek value of an oath,
ain't it, jedgo?'"
PUTS THE "GINGER" IN.
The Kind of Food Used by Athletes
A former college athlete, one of the
long distance runners, began to lose
Ills power of endurance. His experi
ence with a change in food Is interest
ing. "While I was in training on the
track athletic team, my daily 'Jogs' be
came a task, until after I was put on
Grape-Nuts food for two meals a day.
After using the Food for two weeks I
felt like a new man. My digestion was
perfect, nerves steady and I was full
of energy.
" trained for the mile and the half
mile runs (those events which require
so much endurance) and then the long
daily 'jogs,' which before had been
such a task, were clipped off with
ease. I won both events.
"Tho Grape-Nuts food put me in per
fect condition and gave me my 'ginger.'
Not only was my physical condition
mado perfect, and my weight in
creased, hut my mind was made clear
and vigorous so that I could get out
my studies in about half tho time for
merly required. Now most all of the
University men use Grape-Nuts for
they have learned its value, but I
think my testimony will not he amiss
and may perhaps help some one to
learn how the host results can he ob
tained." . There's a reason for the effect of
Grape-Nuts food on the human body
and brain. The certain elements in
wheat and barley are selected with
special reference to their power for re
building the brain and nerve centres.
Tho product is then carefully and
scientifically prepared so as to make
it easy of digestion. The physical and
mental results aro so apparent after
two or three week's use as to produce
a profound impression. Read "Tho
