National Pride.
It is now almost two full centuries
since England and Scotland were
united, in 1707, under the name of
Great Britain. Yet up to the present
time the world continues to employ
the familiar terms English queen. Eng
lish army, and so on, with no mention
of Scotland. This slight has often been
commented upon by Scotchmen, but
never perhaps more happily than at
Trafalgar. Two Scotchmen, mess
mates and bosom cronies, from tho
same little clachan, happened to ba
stationed near each other, when the
now celebrated signal was given from
the admiral's ship: "England expects
every man to do his duty. "No a
word o' puir auld Scotland on this oc
casion!" dolefully remarked Geordie
to Jock. Jock cocked his eye a mo
ment, turning to his companion, "Man,
Geordie," said he, "Scotland kens weel

he tell't to do his duty—that's just a

A MODEL STATE PRISON.
MONTANA'S PENITENTIARY CLASSED
AS AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.
Tlio Mawtlve and Beautiful Structure
Built Entirely By the < Jon virtu—School
Privileges Accorded to tlie Inmates and
Musical Inst ruction Furnished Them.
The Montana state penitentiary at
Helena in its care for and manage
ment of its prisoners is a unique in
stitution and might well be taken as
a tpodel by many institutions of a like
character in the older states. Not
only is every effort made to benefit
the unfortunate, inmates and fit them
for honest lives after they shall have
left the prison walls, but much As done
to render their present condition
cheerful. Wardens Conley and Mc-
Tague, who have had charge of the
prison for many years, act upon the
theory that, with all possible allevia
tions, penitentiary life is a severe
punishment and that a large percent
age of tho men will quickly show their
appreciation of kindness by being far
more tractable than if they were not
accorded any privileges.
The latest innovation is ihe intro
duction of a brass band within tho
penitentiary. The band, consisting
of twenty-four pieces, has been re
cently organized and is under the in
struction of a bandmaster, who also
acts as one of theguardsof the prison.
The penitentiary might also be
classed as an educational institution.
In the prison school, organized four
years since, are taught all the Eng
lish branches of the ordinary gram
mar sell tols, in addition to pouinan
ship, bookkeeping, typewriting, tele
graphy and photography. A tele
graphic apparatus lias been set up in
the penitentiary for the use of the
pupils. Teachers as well as students
are taken from among the ranks of
the inmates.
Tho school is at present closed ow
ing to the recent departure of its prin
cipal. This young man, known as
Harry Brett, is from au English fam
ily of standing and wealth, whose
name is known but to 0110 or two in
this state. To escape the result of
youthful escapades he came to Mon
tana under an assumed name. He was
at one time assistant city clerk of
Helena, and while holding that posi
tion forged a large number of city
warrants. Others were implicated,
but be alone was convicted.
A brother iu England kept himself
informed of Brett's history and a short
time before the expiration of his sen
tence wrote to the governor of Mon
tana, asking for his brother's release
and offering to send money enough to
set him up in business in Australia.
His brother's request was grnntedand
a short time since Brett left the pris
on and the same day was on his way
to Australia to begin life anew.
But the prison school is not the only
remarkable feature of this institution.
In the work performed by the con
victs within the past few years, the
Montana penitentiary has made a tee
ord which is to the credit of its man
agers. Until within the last five or
six years the state prison consisted of
a few log buildings of various sizes
and one solid stouo structure, all sur
rouuded by a high board teuce. The
present prison building ranks among
the finest in the United States. Few
will excel in solidity or beauty, for
while symmetrical iu outline it is far
less severeiu appearance than the usual
building of that class, being more
elaborate in detail, more modern in
design and surpassing in point of
architectural beauty most institutions
of similar character.
The building is of brick, riveted
with rugged, native granite, 188 feet
in length, 50 feet iu width aud nearly
45 feet iu height, with four towers
rising to a height of 09 feet, the whole
containing a floor spacoof 59,500 feet.
Iu addition to this is what is known ns
the "Assembly hall," a building two
stories high, 170 byfiO feet, composed
entirely of brick with trimmings of
granite blocks. Surrounding both
buildings is a wall of native rock,
eveuly out aud perfectly matched, ex
tending nine l'cet into the ground, 20
feet in height, finished with n coping
three feet wide, with massive en
trances, and with four towers 40 feet
in height. These new buildings and
improvements, which ordinarily would
have involved in their construction an
expenditure of nearly quarter of a
million, have been built bv the in
mates of the prison, all within the
space of four years aud at a cost to
the state of less than §50,000.
This work was at first undertaken
as an experiment with many doubts
and misgivings, but in n short time
the wisdom of the plan was demon
strated, so that when it was decided
to erect the main building - the most
recently completed portion of the
work—although it involved considera
ble responsibility, yet the commis
sioners and managers had not the
slightest hesitation in giving work to
the prisoners. There were no quar
rels among the men, no insubordina
tion, aud 110 attempted escapes while
the work was iu progress. Without
chains or fetters, aad with but few
guards, the men quarried the rock,
cut aud dressed the granite blocks,
moulded and burned the bricks, dug
the sand, burned the lime, out the
logs and sawed the lumber.
Iu less than a year and a half they
completed the massive and beautiful
structure. With the exception of the
the foreman of the
brick yard and a tinner employed to
superintend the covering of the roof,
it is wholly, from beginning to end,
the work of laborers, mostly unskilled,
and all designated as "criminals."
Even the architect who furnished the
design for the building was himself a
prisoner, whose sentence expired a
few weeks prior to the commence
ment of the construction.
The two buildings will accommo-
date over 500 prisoners. The main
building is the prison proper, the as
sembly hall containing 011 the first
floor the prison bakery, kitchen, laun
dry, bathroom, storage rooms and
various shops, while on the second
floor ure located the drug store, hos
pital, library and the large dining
room and assembly hall. This also
has cells for about 200 prisoners and
contains the female dormitories.
There are now about 350 iumates ol
the institution. The prisoner longest
in the institution is an old man, sen
tenced to life imprisonment for mur
der, who has now served twenty years,
and the latest arrival is within the
past few days, sent up for highway
robbery. There have been 27 deaths
in tho penitentiary since its estab
lishment, about 1871. Of this number
four were colored men and eleven
were Indians or half-breeds, the In
dians being unable to endure confine
ment dying invariably of consump
tion.
It is rather unusual to see within
prison walls hundreds of men of all
ages and nationalities patiently mas
tering the various branches, from
reading and spelling up to the higher
mathematics; to hear tho click of the
telegraphic instruments, the clatter
of typewriters and the hum of recita
tion classes, interspersed with lessous
in music, vocal and instrumental; but
this is what may be seen and heard
in the state penitentiary of one of the
youngest states in tho union, thanks
to a wise board of prison commission
ers and to the intelligent and untir
ing efforts of its managers.
QUAINT AND CURIOUS EYE LORE.
Blue eyes are said to bo the weak
est.
Upturned eyes are typical of devo
tion.
Wide open eyes are indicative of
rashness.
Side-glancing eyes are always to be
distrusted.
Brown eyes are said by oculists to
be the strongest.
Small eyes are commonly supposed
to indicate cunning.
Tho downcast eye has in all ages
been typical of modesty.
People of melancholic temperament
rarely have clear blue eyes.
The proper distance between the
eyes is the width of ouo eye.
Eyes with long, sharp corners indi
cate great discernment and penetra
tion.
The white of the eve showing be
neath the iris is indicative of nobility
of character.
Gray eyes turning green in anger or
excitement are indicative of a choleric
temperament.
An eye the upper lid of which passes
horizontally across tho pupil indicates
mental ability.
When tho upper lid covers half or
more of the pupil the indication is of
cool deliberation.
Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from
side to side, are frequently indicative
of an unsettled mind.
It is said that "the prevailing colors
of eyes among patients of lunatic asy
lums are brown and black.
Eyes of any color with weak brows
and loug, concave lashes, are indica
tive of a weak constitution.
Eyes that are wide apart ate said
by physiognomists to indicate great
intelligence and a tenacious memory.
Eyes of which the whole of the iris
is visible belong to erratic persons,
often with a tendency toward insanity.
Wide open, staring eyes in weak
countenances, indicate jealousy, big
otry, intolerance and pertinacity with
out firmness.
Eyes placed close together in the
liead are said to indicate pettiness of
disposition, jealousy, and a turn for
fault finding.
When the under arch of the upper
eyelid is a perfect semicircle it is in
dicative of goodness, but also of tim
idity, sometimes approaching coward
ice.
All men of genius are said to have
eyes clear, slow moving and bright.
This is the cyo which indicates mental
ability of some kind, it does not mut
ter what.
Blue eyes are generally considered
effominute, but this is a mistake, for
blue eyes are found only among Cau
casian nations, and the white races
rule the world—Pearson's Weekly.
Flat houses in Malta.
Valletta, the capital of Malta, has
been invaded by tho Harlem fiat and
the Maltese are delighted. One large
flathouse having proved a success,sev
eral more are about to be built and
the Maltese want to know just, how
the thing is done in New York. The
capitalists who are to build the flat
houses have been to John Grout, Jr.,
the United States consul at Malta,and
told him that they want the latest
thing in electric outfits for fiats, such
as bells, etc., and now ideas as to
plumbing and elevators.
Mr. Grout says: "I have had sever
al conversations with the men in ro
gard to their getting American goods
for tho new buildings, and have ex
plained to them, as far as I have
been able, how our flat buildings
are constructed and finished and tho
fittings used. The result is that
they have become interested to such
an extent as to request me to get them
illustrated catalogues and price lists of
goods appertaining to the interior
fitting up of buildings of this class,
and especially of doors,locks, hinges,
bolts, window fastenings and honse
hardware in general. New York

A Novel Iniluatry,
"There are many queer industries
in tho world," says the Philadelphia
Record, "hut the Now Jersey farmer
| who has lately made a contract with a
Philadelphia millinery firm to furnish
crow heads at twenty-five cents apiece
claims to have a monopoly on the latest
| novelty in tho industrial line. The
j enterprise bids fair to become extreme
ly profitable, as there are thousands
of crows in that section of Jersey,
which is just over the Camden County
I line in Gloucester County. The crow
is a very wily bird, and as a usual
thing powder and shot are only wasted
iu an attempt to kill him. The farmer
knows this, and has wasted no time in
gunning. Ho traps the birds by the
dozen, and has robbed all the nests he
j could find. In a chicken incubator ho
has hatohed out over one hundred
eggs, and the young crows will bo
ready for the beheading process iu
about eight weeks."

Nearly every provincial Filipiuo of
thrifty propensities puts his suvings,
not in a Manila bank, but in a strong
box. The box is usually a fancy iron
chest of small dimensions, but is se
cured by locks and bolts enough to
defy a Chinese locksmith. The outer
keyhole is the first secret of tho box,
and is usually hidden under some
moving iron baud that embellishes
the chest. After raising the first lid
there is one or two more that must
be opened, and the locks or bars of
these are equally hidden —though in
most cases simple to the ingenuity of
the American soldier. The whole
contrivance is a relio of Spanish feu

easily solved toy to the ingenious

LIKE BANQUO'S GHOST.
Vacation of Conductor* and Pennies to
the Fore Agsin.
It was In a suburban trolley last
Sunday that the question of the con
ductor's reluctance to receive pennies
in change came up again, says the New
York Herald. This penny question is
like Banquo's ghost and will not down.
A woman passenger had given the con
ductor a nickel and five pennies for
two fares. "I would rather change $5
for you, madam, than take those pen
nies," the conductor said, in a
grumbling yet perfectly respectful tone.
"Why?" asked the woman. "Because
the company will not take them from
us. That is the only objection I have
to railroading. We must turn in nick
els or silver when our work is done."
"But why do you not sometimes give
those pennies to men? You always
palm them off on women." "Well, the
women always seem to keep them
specially for us. Now, if the public
could only know what a trial they are
to us sometimes they might understand
our reluctance to take them. For in
stance, one of the extras, a man who
had been out of work for a long time,
after making the number of trips re
quired of him. found he had fifteen
pennies among his change. He did not
have a cent belonging to himself, and
there was no money at home, and the
pay that was coming to him at the of
fice for his week's work was needed by
his wife and children for bread. They
would not take the pennies at the of
fice. and he could not draw his pay un
til his fares were accounted for. When,
after considerable trouble, he got three
nickels for fifteen pennies and returned
to the company's office it was closed,
and he had to go home without his
Pay."

NIAGARA'S VOICES.
Th*j Are Not Rumbling or Rapid, but
Plan cent and Silvery,
j Niagara has many voices, and some
I of them are thus described by Mrs.
i van Rensselaer in the Century: "And
the noise of Niagara? Alarming
! things have been said about it, but
j they are not true. It is a great and
mighty noise, but it is not, as Henne
| pin thought, an 'outrageous noise.' It
lis not a roar. It does not drown the
j voice or stun the ears. Even at the
j actual foot of the falls it is not op
! pressive. It is much less rough than
I the sound of heavy surf—steadier,
I more homogeneous, less metallic, very
| deep and strong, yet mellow and soft;
j soft, I mean, in its quality. As to the
! noise of the rapids, there is none more
| musical. It is neither rumbling nor
| sharp. It is clear, plangent, silvery.
It is so like the voice of a steep brook—
j much magnified, but not made coarser
jor more harsh— that, after we have
I known it, each liquid call from a for
] est hillside will seem, like the odor of
! grapevine, a greeting from Niagara. It
iis an inspiriting, an exhilarating
| sound, like freshness, coolness, vitality
; itself made audible. And yet it is a
| lulling sound. When we have looked
out upon the American rapids for
i many days, it is hard to remember con-
S tented life amid motionless surround

i side them for many nights, it is hard
< to think of happy sleep in an empty

notes arc attenuated to an incredible
j delicacy and are intermittently per
, reived, as though wafted upon varia
' ble zephyrs. It is the most subtile, the
| most mysterious music in the world.
What is its origin? Why should we
: ask? Such fairy-like sounds ought not
! to be explained. Their appeal is to the
; imagination only. They are so faint,
| so far away, that they almost escape
; the ear, as the lunar bow and the fluted
j tints of the American falls almost
j escape the eye. And yet we need not
fear to lose them, for they are as real
j as the deep bass of the cataracts."

New York's Highest Point.
j Perhaps the highest point in the bor
j ough of Manhattan is at Ninety-sixth
street and Madison avenue. This is
j where the New York Central Railroad
j tunnel begins, and from this elevation
i a fine view is obtained cf Harlem to
the north and the East river and Long
island to the east. One can look over
the roofs of the live-story housev of
Harlem clear to Washington Heights
| and distinguish many points in the
borough of the Bronx.
; From here there is a sharp decline
to the East river, and the tall chimney
at the foot of E. -t Ninety-fifth street
: does not look so very high from this
altitude. It is altogether a sight well
worth seeing.
