Rahway Rsfermatery. The opening of the Rahway reform*, tory In 1900 was welcomed by all Interested In penal reform aa a great step In advance. The results up to this time have not fully Justified axpectatljna. The difficulty hat bean within and not without the In-tltution. The theory of the late ht-d of the In■UtaUcn was not the i. ’:i out.

It la to me a serious problem w hether the state should not turn thU Institution into an adjunct stats prison and relocate a reformatory, atrncth ■; it on modern lines.

New York Described by New v or fc er . New York it toe dirtiest of the world's great cities and the noisiest, and tho skyscrapers on which we pride ourselves are making Its-street* the darkest on God's footstool. Hitherto. however, we bad been able to look upward—from tbe footstool to the throne, so to apeak—and catch glimpses of the sky and of the sun or the moon, especially if we hap pened to. be passing through a park or aquara. But even of this resource we are now being robbed. What with the dirt, the din and tbe darkness, to say nothing of the ererlasting quick lunch, strap hanging, itep lively scramble of our dilily live*. It la small wonder that money Is to be made oy advertising remedle* for shattered nerve* and e«ablishmenls for "making men over." Rut even such advertisers could not pay the elty a price that would Justify U In selling Its o;ieu spate* for such use.—Letter to New York Bun.

Quite th* Contrary. "GenUen-.cn," said the campaign spellbinder, as be began his speech. "In the words of our Hlustrions chief at Washington, who said: Speak—'" "Louder!" yelled a score of voices la the beck part of th* hall. "Not at all, gentlemen." said the orator, visibly Irritated "He said, as every well-laformed person knows: ■Speak softly,' evan while carrying the big stick. If I am interrupted again" —here he waved tbe chairman's gave] Moft—"I aball use the big stick unsparingly!" Having Urns asserted himself, and silenced tb* rod* persons who bad been guilty of the unseemly InteiropUon. bp resumed h|s speech.

Hypocrite. GruIgnoU, the son o a priest in a rich abbey In Florence, had a net spread every I y on the table of his apartment to put him. as he said. In mind of his origin. The abbot dying, this dissembled humility procured GruIgnoU to be his successor. and the nK waa used no more. A friend who came to eee him tbe day afterwards, on entering hi* apartmenL said: "Where Is the net?" There Is no further occasion for the net." replied OndgnoU. “whan th# Ash Is caaghL"
