"Well, there Is one time-honored old
Institution that hasn't kept step with
the march of the nges," mild a man out
lu otic of the suburbs of Chicago the'
other day, jib he pointed to an old horse
power sawmill that was running full
blast.
"The old machine docs seem to he
about the same as It was when we
were boys, replied tho man wfio had
been nddressed. ,
"That's right; It's tho same thlnjj to
a dot, and If I'm not mistaken that Is
the Identical old horse that 1 saw run

As a sanitarium for the criminal
Fresnes Is unique. As his or lier pres
ent home It boasts the proud record of
being only half full of crime, or at least
punishment by Imprisonment for crime
Is diminishing In France.
The system at Fresnes Is Interesting;
possibly It Is worthy of Imitation, The
authorities believe In fresh air and sun
shine, tljosc sworn foes of the microbe
and friends of health. Hence, as al
ready stated, the prison Is a model sani
tarium. Otherwise the criminal' Is
gently educated. He works nt some
trade and can purchase from the pro
ceeds of Ills work extra food and per
sonal requirements with the exception
of tobacco. When the prisoners go to
worship, which Is not compulsory, or to
"school,1' which Is, they wear hoods so

"Hut lie saws the cortlwood up nil
rlpht. Vou ahoiiltln't expeet more. Even
n liorso enn't suy unytbliiK when bo Is
Kiiwinj,' wood."
"Nevertheless It does seem Btrnnge
thitt while everytlilnp; else In the world
Iihh been ndViuicliiK, proKtesslnjj nnd
InipiovliiK this old horse-power saw
mill htiH remained stationary, absolute
ly untouched by u slugle change that
would bettor It."
"If you Rentlelnen will excuso mo for
cutting Into your conversation Instead
of contlnuliiK to cut wood for a mlnujo
I will cullKhten you n little nbout this
business, which a cuius to trouble you
so much." wild the man who had bcu
busily cnRtiKed In pushing BthAa
HKnlnst tho buzz saw. "Tho point lis
right, here," continued tho mnn with
tho saw, "you gentlemen are llylug jn
little too fnr above the ground. In otlnfr
words, you tlon't know what you arc
talking about. You are complaining
that a machine has not Improved when,
its n mutter of tnct, It reached a state
of perfection when both of" you wero
children. The horse-power sawmill
tcun't bo made bt'tter than It now Is, for
i thero Is absolutely no chance for Im
provement. "I supposo you think thnt tho dawn
of the twentieth century should have
found these machines run by electric
ity. Why should wo go to tho expense
of having this run by electricity when
we can ruu It for nothing. This old
horso you seo walking up hill In the
machine Isn't worth 00 cents nt n horso
market. lie Is ail years old, Is blind In
both eyes, Is string-halted and has four
other diseases, but he furnishes nil of
tho power wo need niid Just as good
power as might be desired for sawing
cortlwood, nnd nil he costs mo Is his
feed, nml I might add that he has a
very poor appetite. There you nre
that Is the whole proposition In a nut
shell. Why should 1 wnut power that
would cost fno ten or twenty times as
much to run this saw when I cuu hayo
It run for next to nothing'"
Then the suburbanite went back to
his work nnd vigorously begun push
lug big sticks of wood against the
wlilrUng saw, while tho old horso plod
ded upward without ever reaching any
top, nnd 'the two men from Chicago
looked on for a moment at the opera
tion ami then turned away without
venturing any responso to tho remarks
of tho sawyer. They coudded nt Inst
to ench other that they guessed the,
twentieth century had not left the
horse-power snwmlll so very fnr be
hind, nfte'r nil 'In tho country districts
nnd rural neighborhoods the old-fusU-toned
mill Is as common as It was sev

be the best and cheapest method of cut
ting wood Into the right lengths for tho

World's largest Prison.
I France's new prison at Fresnes, some
I eight miles from l'arls, is tho largest
In tho world. It takes the place of
j three old prisons, s situated In a
I healthy district nnd covers, with Us
mnln buildings, tlower gardens and
villa residence of ottlchUs, over half a
siiuurc mile.
The prison, unlike our penitentiaries,
Is not built ou tho star plan, but con
sists of tlvo rectangular blocks, ope
of which Is the lutlrmary. The plan la

IlCHiiitl Cowotl tho Cnb Driver.
Sir Wulter Besunt Is known In Eng
land ns ond of the best amateur boxers
in me lami. lie tins more than once
given proor or the possession of both
science nnd muscle, nnd although he Is
by no means quarrelsome his friends
discreetly avoid giving him ofTcnse. He
Is credited with having once settled n
disputed cab fare In n novel manner.
Ho drove from Piccadilly to some place
In the suburbs outside the radius. On
getting down he tendered tho driver 3
shillings nnd (I pence, which was a lit
tle ovor the proper fare. The man,
however, wanted C shillings. Itcsant
refused. ,
"I'd like to light you for It," said tho
driver.
"The very thing," snld Besant. "We'll
have the light lu the buck garden. My
brother will look on, hold the stakes
and see fair."
The cabman got down slowly, ns If
he did not finite enre about It after all.
He followed Into the garden, where
there was a lovely bit of green turf.
Besunt placed the f shillings In his
friend's hands, took off his eont nnd
waistcoat and rolled up his sleeves all
with the air of cheerful alacrity.
"Now, my friend." said he. "I nm
rendy ns soon ns you nre." Ills nnxlety
was grent, but It decreased ns ho
watched the cabman's face express
successively all the emotions of bounce,
surprise, doubt, hesitation and abject
cowardice.
"No, no," he said at last. "Glmmo
the three-nnd-slx. I know your tricks
both of you. I've been done this wny
before."

The other day a fair Baltlmorenn

Then he found one was addressed,
"Tho wlno shop on Blank uveuuo

Tho masculine relative didn't mall tho
