REFLECTIONS IN A CHAPEL. Irg Brrn t'roM Whlib Nerve Mirror. Recently the governor of one of our county prlsois waa greatly perplexed by the discovery that th female crim inal In bla ( barge managed In aome mysterious manner to ascertain the presence of every Individual man on the other eld of the Irnpervlou divid ing barrier which a-parate the male from the female worshipers In the Jail chapel, aay the London Hospital. One of the women Inadvertently made an exclamation, allowing that she had suddenly became aware that her hu band was within the aame walla, al though hl presence ought, according to the rulee, to have been completely unknown to her. None of the officer could account for an unpermitted knowledge which waa found to be shared by all other women. At tout a very careful examination of the chitpel gave an explanation of the mystery, Although strictly divided, aa we have aid, both the male and the female prisoners faced the altar In their seat and over It bad been fixed a very large bran cross against the wall, ao highly polished aa to form a very good mlrmr, and In It clear surface the women saw the reflection of every man aa he passed to hl place and had enjoyed the spec tacle with Impunity till the wlf' affeo tlon overcame her dlacretlon.

DU MAURIER DECEIVED. How an Aairrlinn Interviewer Abuied lllii 4 niillil. iii e. Du Maurler was always specially ap preciative of American appreciation and took particular palna to welcome Americana cordially, says the New York Times. It was seldom that thla friendly feeling was abused, but the last time I saw him be waa for once In g atate of rage against an American who had nut only Interviewed htm but outrageously misrepresented him and his household. The visitor had come with some letters of Introduction, but, fearing that an Interview waa In pros pect, Mrs. Du Maurler bad seen him and explained that Mr. Du Maurler could not receive visitors fur that pur pone. The caller promptly disclaimed being an Interviewer and so disarmed the hostess that In apology he wa taken upstairs with cordial welcome, The laird of "Trilby," still In the land of the living and a close friend of Du Maurlcr's, had happened In, and the two, perhaps gently bd by the skillful Interviewer Into the subject, were soon talking over old time In free confi dence. What n Du Maurler' chagrin a few week afterward to re ceive a New York paper containing a highly colored version of thl conver sation, with remark about hi habit and bla household which were more than a breach of hospitality, lie wrote at otic a etr of disclaimer for pub lication among his American friends, and It was with difficulty that he was persuaded that thl would only adver tise the offensive article and give It wider currency, Tli I'nlille r. There I probably no other Influence that cause so much evil a the bale ful Influence of the public eye. Take, for Instance, a girl who can recite. A noon she haa been encored on the stage she become a nuisance to her family and a bore to the public. The public eye ha affected her and ahe will never again be content with her coiner. The office-holder who refuse to retire to private life after he haa once held office Is another victim. The singer who keeps on singing at ama teur entertainments when she la a grandmother la another, The cheap actresses who began their downward career at echool exhibition are also victims. The public eye has more vlc llms than whisky and they are a great er menace to the community for the reason that they sign no pledge and make no effort to reform.

The total leng'lj of the world'a tele graph system Is 4,908,1121 miles, not counting the 180,440 miles of submarine cables. Were this all In one continuous line, It would wrap around the equator about 1DH times. The moon and earth could be ronnected by twenty lines, with enough to spare to connect every coun try on the earth. These lines are dis tributed aa follows: Kurope, 1,764,790 miles; Asia, 310,M5 miles; Africa, 91 419 miles; Australia, 217,479 miles; America, 2,610,548 miles.

Ten thousand plies chained together In one Immense raft were recently towed Into the bay of San Francisco, having been brought from Stella, Wash., 700 miles away. The dimen sions of the raft were: Length, 600 feet; breath, f0 feet; depth, 45 feet. Over 6,000,000 lineal feet of lumber was contained In the rnft, which drew thirty feet of water. Twenty steamer of average size would have been nc esnary to convey it In the ordinary way. The Journey wae made without accident, nnuemilly favorable weather having been enjoyed all the way.
