In tho United Mules uro about sev enty institutions designed for tho refor mation of young oflcmlcrs. Their in mates number more than nine thou sand bovs and girls, Tim causes of commitment embrace nearly every of. fense, from petty larceny to imiu slaughter. Tho menus of iimemlmeut employed Include) nolonly tho rcmova of tho oilcudor from Uio opportunity o indulging his criminal tastes, but also tho teaching of some trade, instruction In the elementary branches of know! Mtia, ami endeavor to form an upri"ht character. Concerning tho success of tho reform school in tho reformation of those intrusted to it, there is room for two contrary opinions. In nn exami Ration oi me convicts ol tho prisons of ricw York, which was ordered by the Prison Association of tho Stato in 1H75, it was found that of tho inmates of tho Sing Sing penitentiary. 22.81 percent, hail been "refuge" boys. As tho usual number of inmates of tin reformatories (,j yvv fork exceeds three thousand, it is phi in that the largo portion of them do not become in mates of prisons within tho State. As to tho reforms accomplished, es timates vary from CO per cent, to 75. But in these percentages are included many children who without biting vicious, but exposed and homeless, are received into tho houses of refuge. Tho proportion, therefore, of those who have served in reform schools who aro afterward convicted of crimes is small, not exceeding DO or 40 per cent. Yet statistics indicate that the influence of these schools ill impressing evil habits upon a certain class of their bovs is exceedingly strong. Of the 22..'tl per cent, of tho Sing Sing convicts examined who had been in these schools, 98 per cent. fifty-one out of fifty-two were habitual crimi nals. Some light is thrown upon the methods by which this reform school helps to li.x the habit of criminality by tho following conversation between a convict at Sing Sing and nn examiner: I lease, sir, may I ask you a oues- tionP" asks tiie convict. "Certainly," is tho examiner's reply. "Why do thev send boys to tho house of refuge?" "I suppose it is to teach thorn to be better bovs." , "That's u great mistake, or they got worse. "How should that 1P'.' "I wouldn't bo hero only I was sent to the refuge." What did you learn thero that should havo caused you to bo sent here?" "I didn't know how to pick pockets before I went, and I didn't know no fences; that's where you sell what you steal, vou know." "What else did you learn in tho wav of thieving?" "I learned how to put up a iob in burglary." Another inmate who at tho ago of seven stolo fruit, ami was sent to a re fol 'in school at Albany for nino months; at eight was found guilty of petit lar ceny, ami sent to the house of refuge; at twelro was committed to a iuveuilo asjiiim, ami escaped three times in fifur days; and three other times be fore reaching his maioritv w.m sen. tenced to reformatories, and who be tween tho ages of twenty-one and forty one had been committed to prison no less than ten times remarked to the examiner: "I never learned a thing in mvlifn in prison to bcnelit mo outside. Tho house of refuge is Urn worst place a bov could be sent to." Why so?" "Hoys aro worse than nion: I belinvn boys know more mischief than mon. In tho house of refuge I learned to sneak-thief, shop-lift, pick pockets and open a lock.1 How did you get an onnortunitv tn learn all this?" "There's plenty of eh .men.

Mesopotamia is considered the mother country of tho Abrahamlc family, as woll as tho cradle of tho human racn. Some years ago n small cnlony if Jows wore found in tho nn clout city of Sonn ir, in tho couth of Mesopotamia, and in tho c'ty of nn cient B ibylon.

In 1GSC a Portiigueso Jaw of Anister nam, named uu ravla, discovcrcil a sect of Jows in Cochin China.

Notwiths anding firquont pers -cu-tions, Jows are still found in Persia, more especially to tho south of tho Caspian Sua, whero tho soil is very fertile but tho climate very unhealthy. Tho principal city is Balprosh, where about one hundred ami fifty Jewish families reside in almost coaiploto iso lation. They trade willi their brethren in Croat Tnrtarr, and nro engaged in lh.) wool and sTlk trade or in tlio sale of citron. They. too. trace the ir or!. dn from the Baybyloniau captivity. lor, according 0 a tradition still possessed nino.g them, their an cestors settled in Persia in tlio timo of Nebuchadnezzar, and did not respond to tho appeal of Ezra to return to Pal jslino. Their niodo of life resembles I that of the Persians in general. They hold tho beard in high esteem, nnd wear long, flowing robes. They havo several synagogues, and obtain scrolls of tho law from Bagdad. Tho celo brated African traveler, Mungo Parle, found a colony of Jewish families in the heart of Afrioa, about, eight liun- iiuu nines ironi mo ooas . It is no ioubttlus peculiarity of tho Jewish face which induced a French writer on "Medical Geography" to express tho opinion that: "It is questionable whether tho crossing of human rarietios confers on tho issuo jonstant advantages in relation to ;Iio species; for tho Jewish race leems in a wonderful manner capabl.i )f adapting itself to every change- of Jlimato, while others aro scarcely ablo io bear tho lonst chango."

' Trank I'hiypd by Kleolrlnlty Dor, a lluit-i'an wnil a Dinner-I'ail. A gentleman who is the owner of a young setter dog is bringing him up in the way that a dog should go, accord ing to tho ethics ot Solomon; nay, more, ho ha spoiled tho rod, in fact, several rods, while his puppysliip evi dantly thought that ho was sharing the fate of tho flagellant. Ho is also a skilled amateur machinist, mid dur ing leisure evenings employed his time in making a unique collar of polished iron elates, elaborately fashioned and then nickel plated. One of the methods of Instruction consisted in guiding. tlio dog in tho ele mentary stages of certain evolutions by inserting the point of a whip under the dog's collar, nnd by tho slight pres sure exerted ono way or the other teach him tho desired movement; in this manner the motions of tho dog became responsive to a slight pressure on tho neck, such as is often seen in cavalry horses and other saddle horses, ex cept those In the eastern part of tho country, whero they still retain tho old method of guiding saddle horses by the bit. The other evening our friend entered nn electric-lighting station, accom panied by tho dog, wlion it was noticed that tho dog was moving sidewisu toward a dynamo ami at tho same timo exhibiting symptoms of the most abject fear, and his master, divining tlio cause, pulled tho dog away just as ho was almost in juxtaposition to tlio re volving armature of a Brush dynamo. i ho dog Had been trie to his training and obeyed the slig'i ;ressuro on his neck caused by then traction which tho licld magnets exerted iiooii his collar. A mishap illustrating human stupid ity in tlio same maniierthat this showed brute Intelligence occurred in I ho same station a few evenings earlier. Tim manager of this company is extremely strenuous on the point of keepiii" tho station in perfect order; in fact ho is reputed to bo "poison particar." On this evening lie was showing sumo vis itors over tlio station, when a new man, while passing tho other side, of a dvna- nio with a dust-pan full of sweepings. suddenly, with a dexterous turn of tlio wrist, threw the contents over tho p irty; and as the honest Gorman laborer throw up his hands in astonishment, the mag netic attraction completed its work. drawing the dust pan completely oft ins hands, and it became transfixed to tlio field magnets. And this is tho reason why this sta tion is equipped with brass dust-pans. and the advico is passed along to till electric light stations. But this article, liko most affairs mundane, must lead either to tho tablo or tho church. And it shall be tho former, for a correspondent at St. Paul sends us an account of tho woes of a laborer passing the dynamo with a dinner-pail, seeking a cool place for a dinner, when tho magnetic attraction suddenly twisted the bottom of the pail and upturned tho whole contents upon tho floor beyond recovery. Electrical Review. CARAVAN TRAVELING.- LESSONS IN ETIQUETTE. Honrs Detroit Kitchen l.mly Astonished Hook A cent, . "Madame," he began, ns tho door opened. "I am selling a new book on Etiquette and Deportnirnt" "O, you are!" she responded. "Go down there on tho grass and clean tho mud off your feet." "Yes, The Most Knjoynhle end Roinitutle Way of Neelng Country. A FrcT'li friend of mine lives near ono of lli-no pretty shady avenues of ("cs that are common on tho outskirts of French townsj and often in the morn inghe waUsout lu that direction. One day his curiosity was attraotcd by caravan that sought tho shade thero, Tho hoi ses wero unharnessed by a eery. ant, and, tho master caino out of the Tchiclo and lookod around him with the eye of n stranger to the locality "lliere is something about that cara van," my friend thought, "that seems unusual, and I should liko to find out what it is." Impelled by this desire, he entered into conversation with the owner, who was immediately recog nizable ns a gentleman, and my friend being of tho same class tlyy soon bcfanio communicative, as French people will when they have not made up their minds to bo rigidly soiemn ami reserved. ine owner of the caravan was M. Io Comte do B., the horses were his carriage horses, tho man was bis groom, and Mine. la Comtesso was inside tho house on wheels, occupied in cooking tho de jenncr. jl'hey remained in that place , X.... I. I . i , uvunie, -lour Honrs, mm my inenu uo. came almost intimate with them. They both said that of all tho varieties oi traveling this was what they most en joyed. It, had begun by nn attempt to explore some part of tho country where the inns were bad, but since then they had como to prefer tho caravan to any inns whatever; and. in fact, there were two or thrco excellent hotels in the town tney were ttieti visiting. I he cara van wa arranged with great skill, so as to give good accommodation in restricted spaco, and tho servant was provided for by a sort of tent, not set up separately on the ground, but belonging to the habitation itself. Looking at this arrangement from n practical point ol view it might bo thought that with a lady on board it would bo desirable to have a second caravan with serv ants. That, however, would involve a great increase of expense. Yet tho continual expense would not be great, as tho extra pair of ho'-ses might bo hired for tlio excursion only. One of my friends, who know that I was interested in every thing concern ing independent travel, told mo of a moving establishment ho had met with In Italy. A rich Italian nobleman traveled with four caravans of commo dious sizo and admirably contrived, each drawn by a pair of fine horses. On arriving nt a halting place for the night tho vehicles were placed in'the form of a hollow square, and the place so inclosed was covered in with a can vas roof. This mado a sort of central hall, in which tho owner and his family dined in great stato, tho caravans serv ing as bedrooms. Now. although this may seem tin extravagant way of trav eling, it is, in fact, merely an unaccus tomed war of employing a rich man's establishment of horses and men. Tho extra expenso involved by this particu lar employment of them need not bo extremely onerous. 6'. F. Iiamerlon, in Longman's Magazine. --""UT On.. ! .7 ' IS i 'tablo a,l I nit inmn.
