THERE 18 A DEMAND FOR A TUBLIC IN
8TIUTI0N OF TUIS KIND.
Dr. T. II. Pritchard, in the Char
lotte Observer, writes: "I have long ben
persuaded that North Carolina needed a
reformatory for the reclamation of young
criminals. I do not know what pro
portion of the committals to our public
prisons are under ngf, but the number
is very considerable, and the effect of
placing these young and inexperienced
convicts where they will be brought into
daily contact with veterans in crime
must be disastrous. My interest in this
matter, as well as my convictions, have
been greatly intensified by reading
the seventeenth Report of the New York
Reformatory at Elniira.' Last year
there were in that institution between
fifteen and sixteen hundred inmates,
some who were as old at 25 at the time
of their commitment. Tho prisoners en
joy many advantages for personal im
provement in the mechanical arts. They
are taught a multitude of trades. I
notice blacksmithing, shoemaking, tailor
ing, fresco painting, and carpentry, iron
moulding, plastering, bricklaying, print
ing, plumbing, stenography, stone cutting,
hard wood finishing, book binding, brass
finishing, wood carving, cooking, care of
electric machines, barbcring, etc.
They have also many of the advanta
ges of education, there being quite a
liberal school of letters provided for
them. They also have a military
department, and much attention is paid
to physical training. They have a large
and well selected library, edit a news
paper, and, indeed, every thing is done
to cultivate in them such a sense of self
respect that they will be ashamed of the
life of a criminal. I believe, under cer
tain conditions, they are encouraged to
work and to improve themselves in the
various handicrafts taught there, by
being paid wages. Mind you those
received here are not children, but young
men from sixteen to twenty-five, and yot
the results arc of tho most encouraging
nature, after seventeen years of experi
ence. Tbe management allows a system
of parole to be practiced, where the
prisoner is prouiisiug, and it is stated
that taking all the prisoners into the
calculation, those who stay their time
out and those who are paroled, eighty
per cent, are reformed and become good,
honest citizens. With such results, it is
proposed in New York to enlarge the
reformatory, so as to make its capacity
reach 2,000. Really, I do not believe
there is a demand in this State for any
public institution more urgent and im
perative than for a refomatory of this
kind. It interests me profoundly."
HARNESSING NIAGARA.
AN ELECTRIC LINE TO BE BUILT TO
CONVEY POWER TO DISTANT TOWNS.
' A syndicate was formed May 12 in
New York with a capital of $4,000,000,
for the construction and equipment of
a lino between Niagara Falls and Albany
for the transmission of electric power
generated by tho Niagara Falls Power
Company, with tho waters of Niagara
river passing through wheel pits into a
tuuDcl, rhich hi just been completed.
The tunnel is 8,000 feet in length and
24 feet in diamater.
Tbe Niagara Falls Power Company
has expended nearly $500,000 in its
development at tbe Fall, and consumed
nearly three years in the work. It
now seeks a market for the electrio ener
gy thus generated. Through the me
dium of transmitting, cities and vilages
along its proposed line can be supplied
? ith eleotricity for light, heat and power.
Stations are to be erected to regulate
tbe voltage.

A BIBULOUS HUSBAND CURED BT A
CROOKED MIRROR.'
A St. Paul lady has made a temper
ate man of her husband in a novel way.
For two or three years he was a good
deal of a lark. Night after night he came
home saturated. At length one night he
reached home so drunk that he went to
bed with his boots on. She resolved now
to cure him at any cost, and soon had
her plans laid. The uext night he ar
rived home very drunk. The following
morning he arose and looked in the large
mirror in his room. His mouth was
drawn out of shape, one cheek was a good
deal higher than the other, and both
were swollen; one eye was popping out of
his head, and the other was sunken and
drawn to twice its natural length; one ear
sat on his neck and the other was split
and stood almost on top of his head.
"Such a hellish picture as that I never
saw before," muttered he.
Then he looked at the mirror to see
that it was the same he had always used.
It was the same frame, and, as it was
built in the wall, it could not have been
changed. He called his wife into the
room.
"For God's sake, Mary, what's the
matter with that mirror ?" he said.
"Why, nothing that I know of, dear."
"Just look in it! See!"
She looked in it, and declared that she
didn't see anything the matter with it.
"My God, I've got 'em," shouted he.
"Send for a doctor!"
The doctor arrived, pronounced it a
clear case, and prescribed. The husband
was placed in his wife's bed in another
room, and lay there a day or two. Before
the physician permitted him to be out
again he pledged her he would never
drink again.
This was five years ago, and ho has
kept his pledge faithfully. But it is
doubtful if he knows that the mirror
which frightened him so was an imperfect
glass, which had been put in the frame
in place of the plate glass, and that while
he was lying in his wife's bed room tbe
plate glass was restored to its place.
POST MORTE3I LOVE.
SHOULD BE PROTECTED,
I Stood at his coffin, and then there
were many tongues to speak his praise.
There was not a breath of aspersion
iu the air. Mcu spoke of self denial
of his work among the poor, and of
his good qualitties, of his quietness, his
modesty, his humility, his pureness of
heart, his faith and power. There were
many who spoke indignantly of the
charges that falsehood forged against
him in past years and the tieatmeut he
had received. There were enough
things said during tbe two or three days
that he lay in the coffin, and while the
company stood around his grave, to have
blessed him and made bim happy all his
fifty years, and to have thrown sweetness
and joy about his soul during all his
painful and weary journey. There was
enough sunshine wasted about the black
coffin aud dark crave to have made his
whole life path bright as clearest day.
But his ears were closed then, and could
not be thrilled by tho grateful souuds.
He cared nothing then for tbe sweet
Sowers that w? piled upon his
coffin. The love blcssomed out too late.
The kindness came when tho life could
not receive its blessing.
But meanwhile there is a great host
of weary men and women tniliug through
life toward the grave, who need cheering
words and helpful ministries. The in
cense is gathering to scatter about their
onffinR: hut whv should it uot be scattered
in their path to day? Tha kind wordsJ should be taxed by the government;
re lying in men 'a hearts a'ud tremblia :would soon induce them to enter
tongues, whiolf will be spoken by aiJ
by when these Weary ones are sleeping;
but why should they not be spoken now,
when they are needed so much, and
where their accents would be so pleasing
and grateful?
SPOILING A ROMANCE.
HOW A MISCHIEVOUS OOAT PREVENTED
A PRETTY ELOPEMENT.
A certain young lady who live in the
annexed district has had her romance
spoiled by an uncalled for and gratuitous
interference of a gluttonously enclined
goat. This yonng lady bad a beau who
had proposed to her Her parents ob
jected to the match and forbade the
young man to call on his heart's idol.
Tho young lady was desperate, as eligi
ble bcaus are not easy to find iu the
suburbs. They resolved to elope.
The young man was to be under his
lady love's window at daybreak and
signal by means of a cord. Its almost
needless to state that the other end of
that cord was attached to one of the
large members of the maidens pedal ex
tremities. The goat did not rest easy
that night and was wandering around
the yard at an unreasonably early hour
in the morning. After masticating all
the sardine boxes and empty tomato cans
he discovered tho pendulous cord and
resolved to take it in as a desert.
When the cord was drawn taut the
goat reared up his hind legs iu an effort
to follow it up the side of tbe house.
He found that his efforts were unavailing,
and he gave a desperate jerk. Then tho
trouble began. The maid awoke. The goat
gave another violent pull that was almost
as effective as that exercised by a ward
Alderman. The maid arose very sud
denly from her couch and heroically
smothered a cry of pain. She stooped
to detach the cord at the same instant
the goat gave another jerk. The maid
lost her equilibrium and thought that
she had also lost her toe, but tbe latter
proved to be an erroneous supposition.
She crawled on hcrall fours to to the win
dow and cried hoarsely to her supposed
lover: Don't pull so, Augustus, I'll
come down."
Then followed another attempt to
unfasten the cord. The goat was per
sistent, however, and did not notice the
appeal save by several vicious nods of his
head that were each accompanied by a
feminine cry of pain from the upper
regions.
Crazed by the pain she again called
down into the darkness :
"If you don't stop pulling like that,
Augustus, I won't come down at
all."
Another savage jerk and wail of
bitter anguish burst uncontrolled from
her ruby Hps. The cry was heard by
the mother, who hastened into the room
accompanied by an oil lamp and a
look of fright. Tbo maid fainted, the
elopement was killed in the bud, the
maiden's toe was soro for a month, but
the goat escaped and there will be no
cards sent out; as the youth and the maid
never speak now as they pass by. N.

"But do not people argue that it is iu
possible for all women to get married ?"
"Of course. There's the rub! But,
seriously, I could suggest an excellent
remedy. Men should marry as soon as
they have the necessary means and pros
pect of advancing in their posi
tion. And if women were kept by their
parents, their brothers or other relatives,
and did not go to work to become men's
ivals, the young men would succeed
sooner. Women should be shielded as
fur as possible from all the rough influ
ences of life and be restrained within
the sweet, natural bonds of family life.
And all old bachelor? over a certain age

THE GREATEST AND FIRST ESSENTIAL
TO PHYSICAL PERFECTION IN A WO
MAN IS A FIGURE WITHOUT AN AN
QULAR LINE.
A perfectly formed woman will stand
at the averago height of 5 feet Ji inches
to 5 feet 7 inches. She will weigh from
125 to 140 pounds. A plum-line drop
ped from a point marked by the tip of
her nose will touch at a point one inch in
front of her great toe. Her shoulders
and her hips will strike a straight line
drawn up and down.
Her waist will taper gradually to a
zize on a line drawn from the outer third
of the collar bones to tbe hips. Her bust
will measure from 28 to 30 inches, her
hips will measure from G to 10 inches
more than this, and her waist will call for
a belt from 22 to 28 inches.
The arms of the perfectly formed wo
man will end at the waist line, so that
she can rest her elbow on a table while
standing erect, and her forearms shouM
extend to a point permitting the fingci
to mark a point just below the middle i
the thigh. Her neck and thigh shout;
bo of about the same circumference. The
calf of her leg and arm should measur
about the same. Her legs should be about I
as long as a line drawn from her chin to
her finger tips, or about one-half her
height, say from 2 feet 7i inches to 2
feet to 9 inches.
She should measure from her waist to
her feet about a foot more than from her
waist to the crown of her head. Her
neck should be from 12 to 14 inches
around, head erect and on a line with
the central plane of her body, and her
feet should be of a siza and shape to con
form with her hands. Although sizes
in footwear and gloves vary somewhat a
well proportioned woman wears a shoe
one half the size of the glove that her
hands call for; thus, if a lady wears with
comfort a number six glove she should
wear a three shoe. Ex.
SENATOR SI. W. RANSOM,
THE WOSIAN IN THE CASE.
COLUMBUS COULD NOT H.AVE SUCCEEDED
WITHOUT ISABELLA OF CASTILE.
While a world of bunting is flung to
the breeze, and huudreds of dollars are
burned into smoke from the great war
ships, and a city of wonders is built up
in the West to honor the discover and
the discovery of a continent, it is well
for women to reflect that without Isa
bella of Castile Columbus might have
died a tramp and the Statue of Liberty
in the harbor never have brandished an
Edison light. Of course the woman
stayed at home and furnished tho means;
the man got the glory. The only thiog
a woman ever had credit tor doing was
that forced march from the Garden of
Eden, and even that wasn't so perfectly
dreadful as it has been painted; for
otherwise we might all be wandering
about there now, knowing anything
more than monkeys about electricity or
folding beds or women's clubs. Isabella
was a Nineteenth century girl, nnd a
worthy prototype of the woman in this
woman's world, which she made it possi
ble for the Genoese dreamer to discover.
She was an eminent patron of learning,
and it was under her patronage that the
first printing press was brought to opain
and set up at Burgos. She insisted on
the abollition of all duties on books nnd
works of art. Indeed, it was the Queen
that opened the gates of knowledge and
prei'sr' d tho w ly for the golden age of
apauiah literature. New York Sun.

In a recent issue of tho Indianapolis
(Indiana) Sentinel, the following brief
but pointed allusion was made to Senator
RanBom, and the high opinion therein
expressed of him will be shared and ap
preciated by bis many friends and
admirers throughout North Carolina.
The Sentinal says:
North Carolina will look a long time
before she will find senatorial timber
equal to that of which Senator Ransom
is made. It doesn't grow in every neck
of woods.
In a recent issue of the Roxboro
Courier we find the following.
North Carolina is sometimes accused
of indifference towards her worthy sons,
and this accusation has some justice in it.
The fact is due to our failure to appre
ciate their merits while living. Hon.
Matt W. Ransom has succeeded in an
undertaking which should be lauded in
every daily and weekly in this StateJ
When Gen, W.R. Cox made it known
that he would like to become Secretary
of Senate, already cuough Senators
had expressed themselves favorably to
Col. Washington to secure his election.
Ransom took charge of Cox's and never
ceased to work until his election was
made by the Senate unanimously. This
was the work of one man and we
don't believe there is another Senator
who could have done the same thing.
There is in Washington city
to-day no man with more influence than
Senator Ransom. During the twenty
two years, through which ho has served
his State so faithfully, he has done much
for the furtherance of our interest and
the security of our rights. Twice he has
secured the appointments of North Caro
linians to positions in the Senate, and
there walks within its halls to-day no
two courtlier men than Ransom and bis
friend, General Cox, whose election he
has just secured. Long may he live and
serve his people.
Dr. II. T. Bahnson, of Salem, and
R. H. Lewis, of Raleigh, have been ap
pointed by tho Governor members of the
North Carolina Board of Health.
