Treatment Awarded to American Con victs Unknown Across the Water. “Convicts who are confined in Amer ican prisons are allowed many more comforts and privileges than the same class of unfortunates in England.” said Howard L. Abbot of London. “A man in an English prison is almost as dead to the world as he would be in his tomb. Nothing in the way of food or reading matter can be sent him by his friends and he is never permitted to see a newspaper. Only at long in tervals can he write or receive letters and he is never allowed to speak un less he is addressed by an official of the prison. A prisoner sentenced for three years may see a visitor once in three months and he is allowed to write one letter. To men whose terms are longer such privileges are granted less often. For the first month the prisoner’s bed consists sim ply of a broad board, raised a few inches above the floor. He has no mattress and the bed clothing con sists of a blanket, pillow, and a couple of sheets. At the end of a month, if his conduct has been all that is required, ho is given a mat tress three nights a week. Later he has a mattress five nights a week and still later, if his deportment con tinues absolutely perfect, he is al lowed a mattress every night. His food is also regulated by the length of time he remains in prison. He commences with the poorest and most i&£i&£i&L!fZ.■ lb,' meager fare at first, which is gradual ly changed for that a little better if his conduct is unexceptionable, but no matter how well he may conduct himself his diet never equals that given to the ordinary prisoner iD America.” PAPER POLES. They Are Lighter, Stiller and Stronger Than Wooden One*. One of the latest uses to which pa per has been turned is the making of telegraph poles. The paper pulp em ployed is saturated with a mixture of borax, tallow and other substances. The mass is cast in a mold with a cone in the center, forming a hollow rod of any desired length, the cross pieces being held by wooden keys driven in on either side of the pole. The paper poles are said to be lighter and stronger than those of wood and to be unaffected by the many weather influences which shorten the life of a wooden pole. It is doubtful, however,whether the paper pole will come to be anything like a rival to the iron pole, which is now high in favor for the carrying of all kinds of wire lines. The value of iron telegraph poles has been well tested under the most trying conditions on the lines between Europe and India, and again across arid stretches of country in Australia. Insects that eat out the core of everything in the shape of wootl, leaving the shell only, and bird borers that drill holes in the toughest of trees, let the iron poles pass, and even wandering tribes cannot chop it up for fire-wood, although down in Australia they have not yet quite got over their trick of making arrow heads of the insulators it carries. lieech Trees. The common notion that beech trees are not struck by lightning so often as other trees is supported by experiments made by Joneseo Dim itrie, who passed the spark of a Haltz machine through blocks of different kinds of wood. The spark passed through oak after one or two revolu tions of the machine, while five were required for black poplar and willow, and from twelve to twenty for beech' It was found that the difference was due to the richness in fat. Pine which is rich in fat in winter but poor in summer, showed a resistance corresponding to the time at which it >-*d for the test. Will V heat Turn to Cheat? Some who read this headline will say “yes" and swear to it, while oth ers, equally as well acquainted with the mysterious in agricultural lore, will declare that “like produce, like”' and that one species of grain never sprung from another. There is but one instance on record in all the annals of agriculture where a spike of cheat has been found in a bed of wheat. This curiosity is. or was quite recently at least, preserved in the agricultural museum in Springfield,Ili .Jack as (limit at m, Master. A prominent Milwaukee lawyer tvho has a few peculiarities of his own, .employs as his stenographer a young lawyer who has even more peculiari ties, and some great stories are told about the:r doings. It is said that when the employer takes his stenog rapher into his private offiee to dic tate a brief they frequently fall into hot disputes as to the law, and occa sionally the young lawyer declines to take down such nonsense as he deems his employer's utterances to be. NOT SUPERSTITIOUS. Bat Queer Things Happened to Him Jnit the Same. There is a St Louis gentleman of uncertain age but with quite an amia ble disposition, residing {out on a suburban road, who has a grievance and he does not cure who knows it As the story goes this particular West Ender has a wife and three or four children, and incidentally everything else to make him happy. There is only one fault iu the family—the wife is very superstitious. She believes in dreams and signs and omens to the utter disgust of the head of the family. The disgusted husband started out the other night to convince his better half that there was nothing in dreams and omens. He turned over the salt box at the table and did not get mad; he walked under a stepladder and was not assassinated; he looked at a cross-eyed man in a street car and carried out none of the instruc tions that would prevent a horrible disaster; and he did many other things that caused his wife to believe that he would certainly die before morning. He didn’t die, however,but awoke the next morning with a regu lar Mr. Bowser smile on his face. He did not forget to call his wife’s atten tion to the fact, either, and reminded her that hereafter he did not want to hear any more silly talk about "thus and so” being a sure sign of "such and such.” The head of the house left home in a happy frame of mind that morning; firmly believing that he had convinced his wife. He alighted from a car at Locust and Sixth streets, and, after walking half a block north on Sixth street, fell into a cellar. Only one finger was broken, but he was jolted up in such a manner as to cause grave un easiness. While returning home in a car the car jumped the track, and he narrowly escaped death. Upon reach ing his residence he accidentally tumbled over a baby carriage and re broke his finger. The following day he was at hcJme in bed, and while the ever-comforting wife ministered to his wants, he never mentioned any thing about her superstition. NOT WISE. The Clergyman Who Invested In a Foil Parrot. Poll parrots are very curious birds. Their powers of mimicry are undis puted, and he who thinks he can swear at the bird with impunity and yet not be made to suffer by Mr. Poll is not the wisest man in the world, as is shown by the experience of a cler gyman who invested in a parrot that was formerly in the house of a man known to be not particularly choice in his language. The story probably is true, for the bird played many pranks. This minister was entertaining some friends atdinner, whenthe bird de veloped an unexpected fondness for insulting the guests and referred in a sarcastic manner to the large amount of food the3' were devouring. Finally the parson was nettled extremely. He grasped the sinful bird by the neck and whirled him around and around. “There, shut up,” exclaimed the clergyman. The bird, once more in the cage, shook itself until all the feathers came back into their usual places. The poll looked at the clergyman rather frowningly and shouted: “My, how the wind blew through my whis kers!” There is another poll in Philadel phia that should be placed in the same class with the minister's. There are five cats in the house, and Polly does not like any one of them. Sever al mornings ago the occupants of the domicile were aroused by the loud ‘meows” of one of the cats. Going down stairs they found that Polly had hold of the cat’s tail. The feline ani mal was suffering, and at the same time making strenuous efforts to scratch out the bird’s eyes. “Polly, polly, let go and you’ll get a cracker,” exclaimed the sweet-faced matron. The bird gurgled out, still holding on to the tail: “Don’t want crackers, want this pussy’s tail, and I am going to have it.” ° MARRIED CURATES RULED OUT. Sad State of Affairs in the Established Church in England# Marriage seems a great failure in the case of curates in the church of England. One of them writes of the sad lot of his class as follows: “When vicars in charge of fashionable sub urban parishes insist on having only young and unmarried curates it mat in the opinion of mere worldly men,’ be very nice for the girls, but is it very good for the church? Why do married vicars invariably advertise for unmarried curates? Are their own marriages all failures? My case is a common one. I am a curate and want work. Hut I am too old, being no less than thirty seven years, and am married, so, of course, must stand aside. That I have enough income to live on is lucky for me, but does not alter the case. My father served as a curate nearly all his life and I thought I might at least be permitted to do the same, but the action of the bishops in ordaining men wholesale during the past twenty-five years has enabled the majority of vicars to reject all who, like myself, are old or married, and so we are left in the sad position of your humble servant, who signs himself ‘Out of work.’” The General Interpretation. “Number one, Ply greatest number?” was Mr. Hume’s re LEGAL ADVERTISE notice forpu^TI Land Omc* at O’g, SepteiaK.
