Trustees of Indiana Reform Places
Decide to Help Inmates to
Make Money.
Indianapolis. Ind. The contract la
bor system In Indiana prisons will be
abolished. The trustees of the Insti
tutions have decided that at the ex
piration of the present contracts a
new form of employment will be Insti
tuted. Under the new system proposed, as
much of the product as possible of the
Inmates of the prisons will be used
at other state Institutions. The sur
plus will be sold In the open market.
Farm facilities will be Increased at
nil penal Institutions. It Is probable,
too, that the prisoners will be paid
small wages for their work, the money
to be saved for them or to be used In
supporting their families.

Had Beau Once.
Was visiting in the country this
summer, and everyone had a beau with
the exception of me. my husband being
in town. Someone thought they would
tease my daughter, Jane, by saying.
"Everyone nus a beau except your I
Bother. She replied, "I don't care.

Valuable Jerusalem Artichoke.
It appears from . Professor Stra
kosch's figures that the most efficient
of all economic plants is the Jerusa
lem artichoKe. This Justly valued
vegetable produces on an acre of good
land about 7.127. iunds of starch and
other digestible substances. It takis
from the soil incidentally $26 worth of
material. But the dim rence between
consumption and production, in terms
of value, is $116.
Improving.
The mere nomologist, however clev
er, is universally voted a bore among
us; the wit who wanted to crush peo
ple, like Samuel Rogers, we simply
would not tolerate. All this is because
we are kinder, and whether it means
that we are less brilliant oi not it cer
tainly means that we are better mannered.
Miceproof Furniture.
A sure way to keep mice out of bu- j
reans. chiffoniers, sideboards, etc.. is j
to tack a piece of zinc under each ar-
tlcle of furniture. The zinc should bo '
Blade to fit closely. It is not neces- :
sary In the case of bureaus to put zinc
inder cn.'b drawer; one piece at the j
erf bottom will suffice. i
Missed Both Ways.
What is the difference between a
man who has seen Niagara, a man
who has not seen Niagara and a ham
sandwich? One has seen the mist, the
other has missed the scene. Do you
vant to know where the ham sand
vich comes in? Well, that's where
jou bite.
Save the Tea.
Save the tea from the tt-apot. When
you have a good quantity pour boiling
water over it, and after this water
cools use it for wiping hardwood
floors. This is an old English idea.
