THE PRISON OF LOUVAIN.
London, Dec. 2. In the whole of Europe there is but one prison in which the systematic isolation by day and by night is still enforced, and it has, on that ground, a strange and sad celebrity. That one prison is the Maison Centrale of Louvain.
In England and in France prisoners are submitted to less severe penalties, for although they are condemned to silence, they at least work in common, walk in common, pray in common, and confinement to their cells is only a temporary measure recurred to in case of inabordination or misbehavior. The question now pendant in France of replacing the actual penitentiary system by the solitary system adopted in Belgium gives interest to the details of a visit paid to the prison of Louvain.
The buildings are situated on the anterior boulevards, nearly outside the town. They date from twenty years back, but their tall reddish walls have retained the freshness of newness. Admission to the interior can only be given by the Minister of Justice, who grants the permission with so much difficulty that the rare visitors are always treated with the utmost courtey and consideration, and enabled to see as much of the interior administration as is consistent with the rules and discipline.
The buildings all converge to a central apis, whence a warder can easily survey the perfect. In winter the mouth of a hot air pipe gives sufficient heat, and in the evening the necessary light is procured by a gas jet, to which there is no access from the interior of the cell. The furniture consists of a washstand, a commode on the best sanitary principle, a shelf supporting some pewter utensils, and an iron bed. The bedding is a foundation of sacking, a mattress, two sheets, one blanket in summer and two in winter, and a bolster. The convict has to fold and put these things away. The bed itself is taken to pieces and placed against the wall, forming a table, in front of which is a stool. The remainder of the space is taken up by the implements necessary to the convict's obligatory daily task.
Some of the convicts are shoemakers; others bookbinders, tailors, carpenters, even smiths. The new comer who knows no trade is taught one. Those who have had a superior education are employed in copying students' essays. The produce of each man's labor is divided equally between the State and himself. This latter portion is again subdivided, one-half being put aside for the day of his liberation, if not incarcerated for life, and the other deposited at the canteen for his private use. His earnings never exceed two or three cents a day. In the evening, labor ended, he dines and goes to bed. To the dreary silence of the day succeeds the dreary silence of darkness.
The rules of the prison are such that the convicts must replace their hooded masks as soon as the doors of their cells open. They cannot expose their faces even to their warders. If, perchance, a face is seen by a doctor it is paled by the long sunless shadow in which it lives and the want of bracing, blowing air, for even the daily walk of an hour in the prison yards is at best only exercise in cramped passages between two high walls.
LEAN PEOPLE.
[Harper's Weekly.]
There are four chief causes of fatness: wit, too much eating, drinking and sleep; and too little exercise. These lead to overassimilation, or an excess of supply over the waste of the body, and obesity is the result. If the healthy equation between supply and waste be disturbed in the converse with leanness is the result. Excessive label whether of body or mind, too little food drink and rest, lead to under-assimilation.
Within limits, leanness, like fatness, is healthy condition. But in many cases leanness is also a symptom of more or less great disease, as in chronic or exhausting ailment of nearly every kind. With such emaciation we are not now concerned; it is a matter for medical treatment; and the first thing in such a case is to seek the cause of the definite disease which causes it. The healthy leanness of youth or middle age need not trouble affy one, at least on the score of physical well-being. It is an advantage to keep clear of obesity until age arrives, when in many cases it is inevitable for then the needed exercise can no longer be taken as formerly, and physical exercise is main preventive of fatness. There is, indeed, unless when it is caused by serious disease, hardly more than one case of leanness that requires treatment to ten cases of obesity. I speak of our own community; in China, I believe, a person is looked upon as the more fortunate in proportion to his fatness. It would be curious to know whether the felicity of the Chinese banker Han-Quan of Canton, who is said to be worth a billion taels, or fourteen hundred millions of dollars, is in any way expressible in terms of obesity.
But with us there is only one considerable
The buildings are situated on the anterior boulevards, nearly outside the town. They date from twenty years back, but their tall reddish walls have retained the freshness of newness. Admission to the interior can only be given by the Minister of Justice, who grants the permission with so much difficulty that there are visitors always treated with the utmost courtesy and consideration, and enabled to see as much of the interior administration as is consistent with the rules and discipline.
The buildings all converge to a central apis, whence a warden can easily survey the six immense avenues or wings, consisting of two stories of cells. While some slight repairs were being done to one of these cells, a figure suddenly appeared standing motionless at the door—a mysterious and ghastly apparition, clad entirely in white linen, head and face closely masked by a hood of the same material. Air was admitted to eyes, nose and mouth by four round holes. Obeying a rapid sign from the warden, the figure turned to the wall, and crossed its hand behind its back. It was a convict. Even through the apertures of his concealing headgear, the prisoner of Louvain must never catch a passing glimpse of any human face beyond his keepers, and no breath of the outer world must ever pass upon his shrouded cheek. He wears his linen hood summer and winter, but during the cold he is provided with warm brown woolen clothes. Labor is compulsory, and the days are spent in one unvarying monotone round of self-same duties.
At 6 o'clock the peals of an organ wake the convicts. They come from the chapel, all the doors of which are thrown open, and the prisoner who can play the organ strikes the first chords. This is the signal for all the others to rise, dress and make up their beds and bedding. The music lasts for fifteen minutes, and may, at the will of the player, consist of religious anthems, operatic airs, waltzes, or polkas—notes that must strike with dreary significance on the ears of some of the wretched beings cloistered there. They do not all belong to the dregs of society. Leon and Armand Pettyyer are there expiring the murder of the lawyer Bernays, whose trial two years ago startled the world by its cynical revelations.
At the last sound of the organ the warders must find each man at his work. Breakfast consists of half a pint of coffee and bread, and the two other meals of the day of soup and vegetables. Three times a week the convicts have fresh meat, but never wine. The convict who has earned a certificate of good conduct, however, can procure some at the prison canteen, as well as beer and tobacco in stated quantities. Each day the prisoners are taken out of their cells in rotation for solitary exercise in separate yards. The rest of the time is entirely given up to the accomplishment of their allotted portion of work, except on Sunday, which is a day of absolute rest. Between the religious services the convicts are at liberty to employ their leisure in their cells as they think proper. The prison library contains a considerable collection of books of travel, and such publications as the "Magasin Pittoresque," from which each man can make a selection.
Only those who can neither read nor write his private use. His earnings never exceed two or three cents a day. In the evening, labor ended, he dines and goes to bed. To the dreary silence of the day succeeds the dreary silence of darkness.
The rules of the prison are such that the convicts must replace their hooded maaks as soon as the doors of their cells open. They cannot expose their faces even to their warders. If, perchance, a face is seen by a doctor it is palied by the long sunless shadow in which it lives and the want of bracing, blowing air, for even the daily walk of an hour in the prison yards is at best only exercise in cramped passages between two high walls, partly roofed, shut in by iron gates, stretching out like the sticks of a gigantic fan, and where a few stunted plants soon wither and die. The prisoners have that flaccid fleshiness which comes from absence of movement and stimulating activity; yet in contradiction to the opinion prevailing in France that no man could stand solitary confinement for ten years without succumbing or getting insane, it has been found not to be the case at Louvain. Two of the inmates have dwelt since 1864, the date of its foundation, being transferred to the Central house after a ten years' imprisonment at Ghent. They had been condemned to death, but, owing to the virtual abolition of the penalty of death in Belgium, the King had commuted their sentence to the perpetual entombment of their present abode. When prisoners have deserved an alleviation of their penalty by ten years of uninterrupted good conduct, they are sent to Ghent, where the rules of the prison allow of their working in common.
The secondary buildings contain the infirmary, laundry, linen rooms, bath rooms, bakeryes, and kitchenes, all kept with a sorpulous cleanliness remarkable even in that land of unrivalled cleanliness. Huge iron pots contained an abundance of excellent potatoes boiling for the evening meal, and the bread, although brown, was sweet, crisp and of better quality than that rationed out to the army.
None but isolated cases of revolt have ever taken place at Louvain. These are punishable by incarceration in a subterranean dungeon containing nothing but a single wooden bench, where nearly total darkness prevails.
The time of retention within its walls cannot exceed eight days, during which the prisoner is kept on bread and water. This mode of punishment is rarely resorted to, as there is another which is viewed with far greater dread—the privation of work! For those silent recluses, this labor is the only link which connects them ever so remotely with the living world. It is more than an occupation—it is a favor, a recreation, almost a pleasure, and the threat of taking his tools from him rarely fails to insure the submission of the rebel.
Whether or not the system of solitary confinement has greater advantages for the repression of crime and the security of the community than the system of labor in common now generally adopted in penitentiaries, and which only half sequestrates the offender from his fellow creatures, is question not easily or lightly solved; but it is impossible to leave the Maison Centrale of Louvain, admirable as its administration is in the minors use.

the prison canteen, as well as beer and tobacco in stated quantities. Each day the prisoners are taken out of their cells in rotation for solitary exercise in separate yards. The rest of the time is entirely given up to the accomplishment of their allotted portion of work, except on Sunday, which is a day of absolutes rest. Between the religious services the convicts are at liberty to employ their leisure in their cells as they think proper. The prison library contains a considerable collection of books of travel, and such publications as the "Magasin Pittoresque," from which each man can make a selection. Only those who can neither read nor write are compelled to attend school for instruction between mass and vespers. This takes place in the chapel itself.
Nothing can be more striking than the construction and internal arrangements of this chapel. It is a large cycle, or wheel, consisting entirely of superposed flights of steps, like a circular and reversed amphitheatre, the centre of which forms a raised stage, on which stands the altar, towering far above the heads of the phantom-like congregation. Each row of steps is divided into compartments or pigeon holes, just large enough for a man to sit and kneel. When the hour of divine service has come, the first cell is opened by a warden, and convict No. 1 is lead out, conducted to the chapel, and entering the row to which he belongs, walks to the furtherest compartment, which at once closes upon him. Then only No. 2 leaves his cell and goes through the same performance. And so on till all are settled—no man being permitted to move till the one immediately preceding him has entered his allotted pen. After mass they are all taken back into their cells in the same order and same precautions.
There are about twelve nights of steps, containing sixty seats each, but as the circle of the chapel is divided by five or six immense partitions, into each of which the prisoners are carried simultaneously, the operation takes comparatively only a short time. From his stall each convict is able to see and follow every movement of the priest who officiates at the altar on the central platform, while he cannot catch even a climpse of his right and left hand neighbor, owing to the height of the dividing doors, nor can he look over at the opposite row, which is hidden by a boarding higher than himself, and which as effectually shuts out from his view those above or below, before and behind him.
The cells are clean and well arranged. Daylight is admitted by a small window beyond the chapel's reach. The rentation it is a favor, a recreation, almost a pleasure, and the threat of taking his tools from him rarely fails to insure the submission of the rebel.
Whether or not the system of solitary confinement has greater advantages for the repression of crime and the security of the community than the system of labor in common now generally adopted in penitentiaries, and which only half sequestrates the offender from his fellow creatures, is question not easily or lightly solved; but it is impossible to leave the Maison Centrale of Louvain, admirable as its administration is in the minute details, without a feeling of almost superstitious horror at the vision of those miserable beings cloistered in eternal isolation, doomed to unbroken silence, buried in their livery of infamy as in a shroud, the face of each remaining as sealed to his six hundred companions of crime and shame, dropped into the same tomb with himself, as if the lid of a coffin had closed upon it and the hand of death forever obliterated its features.

The Ruling Passion
A drygoods dealer in one of the lower county towns has a mania for advertising—a merit, by the way, that accounts for his great success. A short time ago he spoke of a certain young lady as "a freckle-faced dowdy." This reached the ears of the girl's "stiddy company," and the next day the merchant was threatened with a thrashing unless a written retraction was forthcoming.
The drygoods man expressed himself as willing to retract, and immediately sent the following handsome apology:
DEAR MISS: I desire to state that upon due reflection I was wrong in saying you were the "most freckle-faced dowdy I ever saw." I have seen some terrible specimens in my time. I also take this opportunity to call your attention to my new and extensive stock of staple and fancy goods, just received and which I am selling at rumously low prices for the holidays. Also, just received, a new supply of Bogge' Infallible Complexion Beautifier. Call early and avoid the rush! See great reduction in corns! Satisfaction guaranteed, or the money refunded!! If you don't see what you want, ask for it!!!
THE "ONLY" STRENGTHS.
Some say "Consumption isn't be cured." Ayur's Cherry Pectoral, as proved by forty years' experience, will cure this disease when not already advanced beyond the reach of medical aid. Even then its use affords very great relief, and ensures refreshing sleep.
3. In detail, white bread and potatoes should form a part of every meal; soups and broths are also important. For breakfast eat eggs, either boiled, poached or in omelet; cutlets or petite pates are almost as fattening. The coffee or chocolate should be well "extended" with milk and sugar. People with a "sweet tooth" are rarely too thin.
At dinner eat fish, meat and vegetables, but more abundantly, if the digestion permits it, of the latter. Macaroni and rice are valuable adjuncts toward the end in view. Make much of the dessert; creams, pastry, pies and puddings, and other preparations which contain much sugar, are to be chosen. Drink good milk or good beer; nothing is healthier or more fattening. Wine often aids the digestion when it is weak. For the thin and nervous in general a light bitter beer is the ideal drink. It can be had pure, of uniform quality, and cheap. It combines the maximum of useful qualities for the purpose that we are considering. Tea and coffee have too much of the stimulant quality for such persons to use them abundantly. Milk is not always tolerated by the adult stomach, nor can it always be obtained of good quality. Syrups and effervescing drinks can seldom be used habitually without deranging the digestion. Even water is not always safe; water is often the vehicle of diseased germs, though I have not a word to say against pure water for the healthy; but it is not proved to be fattening.
Beer has none of these objections; it is safe, it is fattening, and it is nutritious. A writer in the London Medical Times says: "If a committee of unprejudiced scientific men had been appointed to compound and recommend a perfectly acetic drink, combining the qualities of nutrition and of palatability, with such small amount of alcohol as should act as a preservative to the fluid itself, an aid to digestion, and a mild and innocuous stimulant to the whole system, it is probably upon a light bitter beer, brewed from good malt and hope, that the seal of their approval would be placed. Formed as it from wholesome materials, easily concocted, and at a small cost, tomis and nutrients harmless except in almost impossible quantity, it is just such an ideal drink as we should pine for if we did not already possess it."
And this view, which I believe to be no sound one is a fortiori the view for the American who lives in a comparatively dry climate, and who earn little wage and less wine. With the presumption of good beer

The four chief causes of fatness: to such eating, drinking and sleep, or an excess of supply over the body, and obesity is the result. Only equation between supply and disturbed in the converse way, is the result. Excessive labor, body or mind, too little food, rest, lead to under-assimilation. Humita, leanness, like fatness, is a condition. But in many cases lean is symptom of more or less grave in chronic or exhausting ailments very kind. With such emacias not now concerned; it is a medical treatment; and the first with a case is to seek the cause of disease which causes it. The nature of youth or middle age doubles one, at least on the physical well-being. It is an addeep clear of obesity until age arrives in many cases it is inevitable, needed exercise can no longer be merely, and physical exercise is a vital of fatness. There is, in when it is caused by seriously more than one case of lean requires treatment to ten cases of speak of our own community; in believe, a person is looked upon as attune in proportion to his fat should be curious to know whether of the Chinese banker Han-Qua, who is said to be worth a billion eighteen hundred millions of dollars way expressible in terms of there is only one considerable as a good diluent and a fattener, I conclude the regimen for plumpness. It is certainly an agreeable regimen, and I would have my fair thin reader to follow it, wishing and predicting her success in developing "the rounded limb and graceful curve."

Warfare on Injurious Insects
The Orange Entomological Society have adopted, and are circulating for signatures, the following petition:
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county, Cal.—We, the undersigned, citizens of Los Angeles county, Cal., do petition your honorable body to pass an ordinance in accordance with the law made and provided for the extermination of insect pests injurious to fruit-trees and other plant life. We ask for a division of the county into suitable districts and the appointment of inspectors therein, whose compensation shall be provided for by the county, and whose duty it shall be to thoroughly inspect all orchards, nurseries, hedges and vineyards in their respective districts monthly, during the following months, to wit: Commencing in June and continuing through July, August, September, October and November, for all the varieties of scale insect, the codling moth and the woolly aphis, and wherever found to report the same to the owner or occupant thereof and prescribe a course of treatment for the abatement and ultimate destruction of such insect pests. And upon the second inspection of any orchard, nursery, hedge or vineyard, wherein the said inspector shall find that such prescribed course has not been fully complied with, or some other course pursued which, in the inspector's opinion, has not been fully as efficacious in destroying noonday meal of the working men of Anaheim, California: Saturday, January 10th. 1885.
LABOR'S CONDITION IN EUROPE.
Washington, Dec. 20.—Secretary Prellinghuysen has sent to the House of Representatives a review of the reports of United States Consul on the condition of labor in Europe. The Secretary says that these reports show that the wages of all mechanics and people working at trades in Chicago are from one to three times greater than are paid in London. He thinks that the impression that the cheapness of living in Europe more than equalizes the lower wages there paid is probably due to the fact that the working people of Europe live more cheaply than the working people of the United States.
"It appears from the reports," he says, "that the American workman consumes more and better food than the mechanic or laborer abroad, and that the cost of this food is as small in the United States as in Europe. It should be borne in mind in making a comparison that the better classes of food, the beef, mutton, veal, butter and rice are not only for the most part cheaper in the great cities of the United States than in Europe, but they are here daily necessities for the table of the better grade of skilled workmen, while the concurrent testimony is that even to the best paid working classes of Europe they are, in the main, luxuries which are seldom enjoyed. The lower classes of Europe usually eat dark or black bread, so that even wheat flour and wheat bread may be set aside with the meats as furnishing no sufficient basis for comparison. The working classes of Europe live mainly on black or rye bread, potatoes, cheap coffee and tea and vegetable soups, and lard and olive oil of a low grade taking the place of butter.

With reference to the daring ject for flooding the desert of what would be virtually a new be well, says Engineering, to reion expressed by M. Elisee Reclus one period in the world's history was covered by a sea very sim Mediterranean, and that this severy great influence upon the tef France, as comparative or at any rate blew over it, while winds which prevail in the gw are of a much higher temperature in fact, sometimes suffocatingly appearance of the desert seem the theory of M. Elisee Reclus, at one time the bed of a sea of extent, of which the great infallakes recently discovered are remains.

Many of them finding No to their natural desire to moderate degree of plump-community, an excessive degree of attractiveness in women, young lady do when she dislike has stinted her in plump-who has a good digestion may But before examining the dietar fattening, let our candidate ask about some other condi-nal well-being.

But take the effort toward peace of the effort itself is tonic.

Let bring all her philosophy to bear constructive mental state. This is best part of the prescription, and repining are often dear from leanness.

When Major Converse was laying out the line of the Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio Railroad he spent several days in obtaining the right of way through the little town of Kingsbury. There was considerable opposition on the part of some of the citizens to granting the right of way unless they received extraordinary remuneration.
Among those who regarded the railroad as a nuisance, was a hardfaced widow of about fifty years of age, who owned a small farm. She said that if she was not compelled to have $100 right off she would tight the company until a certain warm place froze over.
"That 'ere road will run over some of my cows, but I've got to have money," she said.
"It will not be as bad as you imagine," replied Major Converse, soothingly.
"It will be a heap wuse. The sparks from the locomotive will set fire to my haystacks. But necessity knows no law. I reckon I'll have to sign the right of way, but I'd rather take pisen."
"I don't think that you will be disturbed as much as you suppose."
"I never expect to get another wink of sleep at night for them trains. Just know my health'll break down. I'll be in my grave before a year, but hand out yer hundred dollars and it's a whack. I'll do iton account of the children. What won't a woman do for her own flesh and blood!"
Major Converse handed over the money and the woman signed the document, cheerfully.
"Do you really need the money so badly?" asked Major Converse, as he folded up the wit: Commencing in June and continuing through July, August, September, October and November, for all the varieties of scale insect, the codling moth and the woolly aphis, and wherever found to report the same to the owner or occupant thereof and prescribe a course of treatment for the abatement and ultimate destruction of such insect pests.

Bellicosse Congressmen.
The scrimmage in the House of Representatives early on Saturday morning, February 9th, 1858, was an exciting affair as seen from the reporter's gallery. It was inaugurated by Keitt of South Carolina, who rushed beligerently at Grow, of Pennsylvaniaiana, when he received—not from Grow, however—a blow that knocked him down. A dozen Southern men at once left their seats and rushed to the spot, while as many anti-Lecompton men came to the rescue. Foremost came Mr Potter, of Wisconsin, a very athletic, compact man, who bounded into the center of the excited group striking rightand left with tremulous wit: Commencing in June and continuing through July, August, September, October and November, for all the varieties of scale insect, the codling moth and the woolly aphis, and wherever found to report the same to the owner or occupant thereof and prescribe a course of treatment for the abatement and ultimate destruction of such insect pests.

"I never expect to get another wink of sleep at night for them trains. Just know my health'll break down. I'll be in my grave before a year, but hand out yer hundred dollars and it's a whack. I'll do iton account of the children. What won't a woman do for her own flesh and blood?"
Major Converse handed over the money and the woman signed the document, cheerfully.
"Do you really need the money so badly?" asked Major Converse, as he folded up the document and put it in his pocket.
"The worst in the world, stranger. A gentleman from Galveston—a drummer, I believe, they call him—visits me every time he comes to this town. The last time he was here he called rue his gazelle, and wanted me to sit on his knee, but I told him 'no; not yet.'"
"I understand; he is paying you attention."
"And he's going to be here again in about two weeks. He is right on the ragged edge of proposing, but if I don't encourage him he may grow cold and listless. It may be goodbye John with me unless I do my part. You know how men are; they're so unreliable."
"Yes; I understand. You want to lend him the money," said Converse.
"Not much I'm going to lend him any money. But I'm going to San Antone tomorrow, and I'll buy me a new silk dress and a new hat, and I'm going to have a new set of false teeth built, and if I ain't Mrs. Drummer inside of three weeks, it won't be my fault."
"Do you really love him?" asked Major Converse.
"No; I'll never love again. But he's so kind to the children, and my poor children need a protector so bad that I'm ready to make any sacrifice. I don't think we ought to take our own feelings into consideration when the welfare of our offspring is concerned. Do you know who is in the best dentist in San Antone?"

The Proposed Saharan Sea
With reference to the daring French project for flooding the desert of Sahara with what would be virtually a new sea, it may be well, says Engineering, to recall the opinion expressed by M. Elisee Reclus, that at one period in the world's history the desert was covered by a sea very similar to the Mediterranean, and that this sea exercised a very great influence upon the temperature of France, as comparatively cold—or at any rate cool—winds blow over it, while now the winds which prevail in the great expanse are of much higher temperature, and fare, in fact, sometimes suffocatingly hot. The appearance of the desert seems to support the theory of M. Elisee Reclus, that it was at one time the bed of a sea of considerable extent, of which the great inland African takes recently discovered are possibly the remains.
