PRISON DISCIPLINE IN MONTENEGRO.
In the principal street, that
which you enter in coming from
Cattaro, you find on the right hand,
first, the powder magazine, an insignificant-looking
square building,
second, the prison. At first sight
you suspect your guide is impos
ing on you. The prison has no
windows and the door is a perma
nent aperture, without means of
closing it. The prison system is
as odd as the prison. A malefac
tor is ordered to lodge himself in
the abode of culprits, and ho goes
there.He has no special guards
the community watches over him.
He receives no food, but the gov
ernment gives him three half-pence
a day to purchase all necessaries.
Under the circumstances it can be
imagined that unless succored by
his family, he can scarcely live
luxuriously. Unaccompanied by
any guard the prisoners go daily
to water the Prince's garden and
take his horses out to exercise.
They gallop about for a couple of
hours, and then, having put the
beasts in their stables, return to
their uncomfortable quarters. A
condemned person does not on
that account by any means, forfeit
his claims to public confidence.
One example will suffice. A short
time before the declaration of war
a commercial house in Trieste no
tified the Prince that a carge of
ammunition had arrived at Cattaro,
but could not be delivered until its
price, 90,000 francs, had been paid.
The steamer should leave in three
hours after the receipt of the dis
patch, and, under ordinary circum
stances, six hours at least are re
quired for the journey to Cattaro.
Unless redeemed at the time, there
would be a delay of many days in
delivering the cargo.
The authorities bethought them
selves of a heinous criminal, an
individual with chained ankles,
and who, for the crime of murder,
was undergoing an exceptional
punishment. In order to prove
an alibi, he had traversed an extra
ordinary distance after his crime,
and in an incredible short time.
The idea struck the authorities
that this man might be useful un
der the circumstances. Among
these mountains a man on foot
moves much more quickly than on
horseback.
"Can you carry these 90,000
francs to Cattaro in three hours?"
was asked the man.
"Certainly," he replied. He
started; the sum was duly deliv
ered, and having brought back the
receipt the man returned to his
unbarred prison. In another coun
try it is more than probable that
under the circumstances the
prisoner and the money would
both have disappeared. But in
Montenegro the case is different.
Love of country is the predomi
nant passion, albeit that the coun
try is not worth much. It is so
small the criminal cannot hope to
escape detection; and he cannot
endure the idea of perpetual os
tracism. Sometimes the Montene
grin goes abroad for five or six
years, but it is only that he may
return later on to display his
splendid wardrobe, the fruit of his
toils in foreign countries in Al
bania, in Herzegovina, even in
Austria. Tinsleys Magazine.
Minneapolis is reported to ship
annually, beyond her local con
sumption, 1,650,870 barrels of
flour. "These," said the Tribune's
statistician, "if piled one above
the other, end to end, would reach
780 miles. The flour woald make
595,255,000 loaves of bread, the
size of bakers loaves. These
piled in a pyramid, would make,
roughly calculated, a square
pyramid with a base 300 feet
square and with a height of nearly
1,000 feet."
Capt. Barry, of Kingston, Can.,
owner of several lake vessels and
himself sailing master of one, says:
"I, too, have been cured of rheu
matism by St. Jacobs Oil, the
Great German Remedy; and I
know of several others beside mv-
self who have been cured of that
dreadful ailment in the same man
ner; it is known upon the water
justs Tfteii as on the laud, and is
coWcferecl an invaluable remedy.
The Real Worth of the Vacation.
The superior man is the man
who makes the best use of his nat
ural forces; the inferior person is
the one who uses up his vitality in
the shortest space of time. This
may be a slow way of approaching
a great principle, but it is perhaps
the most sure method of showing
the way to that conservative and
rational living which has charac
terized the wisest people and
those who have used life to the
best advantage. There is vast
advantage in keeping an equili
brium of forces. This is as true
of society and persons as it is of
mechanics and natural forces. The
vacation is the time when nature
repairs the waste tissues. 1 1 seems
like idleness to be lolling around
listlessly by the seashore or at
the country farm or by the moun
tain side, but it is just that seem
ing torpor of the faculties, on the
part of the brain workers, which
does most to recruit wasted ener
gies, and is the best use to which
the swiftly fleeting hours of vaca
tion can be put. There is nothing
like the extreme of rest to balance
the extremes of strain to which
bright persons are subjecting them
selves in daily life. It can only
be met in all of us by such a re
turn to nature that her thousand
ministrations to the minds and
hearts of men may not be thwarted
by our own indiscretion. The
great thing is to maintain an equa
ble life, to keep the nerves steady,
to hold ourselves in check, and, il
vacation can be used in such a
way that professional and business
people and busy brain workers can
find rest for themselves in July
and August, the whole communi
ty gains by this renewal of the
chief forces of life. This is what
a wisely-used vacation means for
those who are now taking it. It
means a mind and body in good
repair on the first day o.t Septem
ber. Boston Herald.
Every few years during the
earlier part of Queen Victoria's
reign an attempt at a sensation
was made by asserting that George
IV. was lawfully married to Mrs.
Fitzherbert and that a descendant
of the two was still alive to lay
rightful claim to the throne of
Great Uritain. Queen Victoria
still reigns, however, and no sub
stantial proof or the heir was ever
produced to disturb the occupant.
It is therefore a little startling to
read that the late General Ord
was the grandson of George IV.
and Mrs. Fitzherbert. His father,
raised in the Roman Catholic
faith, which of itself would have
debarred him from the throne, was
educated in France, and was af
terward brought by his tutor to
Georgetown, District of Columbia,
when ho became a professor in the
college. He served as a captain
during the war of IS 2. To avoid
unpleasant notoriety he assumed
the name of his tutor Ord; and
thus it happened that the late dis
tinguished General Ord had a
greater right to be sovereign of
Great Britain than Victoria her
self provided this romance is
true.
The activity and versatile of
M. de Lesseps was never more
distinctly seen by the world than
now. He is a type of the keen
est life of the time and he will un
doubtedly be one of the most fa
mous men of our age when the
nineteenth century shall have
rolled by into history and other
people are given the amusement
of discussing our doings and try
jngs. No other nation could have
gratified him as we gratify him.
Despotic rulers in the past have
alone commanded anything like
the amount of men and capital
which the co-operative speculation
of to-day controls, and Xerxes or
a Titus would have lost all pa
tience with DeLesseps long be
fore he dug a canal. When he
has flooded Sahara, cut North and
South America asunder, and com
pleted his second Suez canal, he
will have done more in the alter
ing of the world's face than any
J other man who ever lived.
Up to 1824, there were 223 of
fense which were capital by the
laws of England, and 187 laws for
inflicting the death penalty has
been passed since the accession of
Charles the II. In the seven
years from 1819 to 1825 there
were 579 executions, and less than
one-fifth of them were for mur
der. For minor ofl'ensps there
were the pillory, Hogging at the
cart's tail and the stocks. . Men
stood in the pillory for an hour or
more, usually on three successive
market days, to be jeered at b'
the crowd. Eaton, the publisher
of Tom Pavne's Ane of Jieuson.
was punished that way in 1312,
and the pillory was not given up
till 1S32.
She leaned her head upon his
shoulder and said, in her most in
sinuating tones. "Charley, dear,
I've hoard so much about dudes 1
want you to get me one.'' Char
ley smiled at her innocence, but
resolved to humor it. "Would
you prefer a French dude?" he
asked. "I think not," she an
swered, squirming coyly. "How
would a German dude suit?" "I
don't think it would suit at all; I
don't understand German." ""Well,
what shall it be, then?" It was
her turn to smile as she said, with
an arch look: "A Vankee dude'll
do."

If men cared less for wealth and fame,
And less for battlefield and glory ;
If writ in human hearts, a name
Seems better than a song and story:
If men. instead of nursing Pride,
Would learn to hate it and abhor it;
If more relied on Lnvc to guide,
The world would be the better for it
If men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And more m bonds antl deeds frater
nal: If Love's work had more willing hands
lo link tins worm to the supernal:
If men stored up Love's oil and wine.
Aim on nrmseu human souls would
pour it:
If "yours" and "mine would once com
bine.
The world would be the better for
it.
If wore would act the play of Life,
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal:
If Bigotry would sheath its knife
Till eood became more universal:
If Custom, gray with ages grown.
Had fewer blind men to adorn it:
If Talent shone for Truth alone:
The world would be the better for
it.
If men were wise in little things,
Aiiecung less in all their dealings;
If hearth had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings:
If men. when Wrong beats down the
flight,
Would strike together and restore it ;
If Right made Might in every fight.
The world would be the better for it.
