Reflections of a Prison Warder Whose Wife Had Taken a Prisoners Cake. Rather an original story comes frorr the criminal prison at Warsaw, Rus From the first he exhibited a character of a fiendish nature, and it has always been a matter for criti- cism that those who were responsible for his elevation to the throne should not have taken the trouble to discover the nature of the child they chose, or, at any rate, have learned of the tendencies he so soon developed. The mistake has not been repeated. secThe new ruler, who is Than-Thai'- s ond- son, is only nominally the king, and for a long period the country will really be ruled by the French resident at Hue. How many of the stories of the atrocities perpetrated by Than-Tha- i are true nobody knows, but enough is known to make it evident that even the terrible records of Asiatic royal barbarities can show few human monsters equal to him. It is said that he found his favorite pastime in torturing his subjects with the most extraordinary refinement of cruelty, and that on many occasions the victims were his own wives. Recently, it is stated, be had seven of them executed sia. A bookkeeper, named Schneider was awaiting his trial, being charged with frtptd. As his health was bad his family sent him many little dehcaciet unknown in the prison fare, delicacies which, no doubt, the head wardei shared with him. The other day, among other things a huge iced cake appeared. Th warders children were fond of cake and so was his wife. They therefor determined to keep half of it for them Their surprise was grea selves. when, upon applying a knife to th dainty, it stuck just below the icinj and refused to go any further. "It must be baked to a cinder, sait Mrs. Warder. But her good man, bus pecting that something worse that care-es- s baking was responsible fo' the cakes hardness, cut round thi sides, and was rewarded by finding t revolver and seven cartridges buriei in the paste. When brought up before the authori ties Schneider confessed that he hat intended to shoot his guardians ant escape from prison before his trial After all, said the warder, pensively when he told his story, honesty h not always the best policy. If my wift bad not cut into that cake I should have been a dead man by now, for I sleep hard. The Mission of Letters. are writing stories? said the friend.

IBs next experience was higher tip the coast, in West Africa. Labor was short and they decided to try women to carry stones. They carried the first two loads and then they struck. Those women quite altered the conditions of carrying stones. They carried them for a certain distance, but three or four relays had to be provided. After that they were tried at carrying sand and things like that. They went on for a short while, but did the work in fits and starts. In another place, also on the west coast, where women had been tried against the black men, it was found that for carrying in firewood they were by far the best and cheapest. There, of course, they were on piece work, although their tickets were marked just the same as if they were on day work. Their task was to carry in a cord of wood a day. They used to start about 4:30 a. m. and went on carrying until 7 and frohi 7:30 till 9 or 10. Then if they wanted to get off early the next day they used to carry an other cord of wood in the afternoon or a part of it.

The death of Mr. Buskin's publisher reminds me that among the many Ruskin drawings, engravings and other relics which Mr. Allen possessed was a proof of a bookplate engraved at Mr. Ruskln's express desire. The fact that the distinguished author and art critic owned a bookplate Is. I believe, unknown to collectors oi and only because Mr. Ruskin after having the plate engraved and a few proof impressions taken, altered his mind and never used It. There is no copy of the plate in the national collection in the print room of the British museum. The engraving was done by W.
