JAIL LIFE. Prison Warden Tells Some Facts About Reading of His Wards. ‘Warden Albert Garvin of the Con- necticut state prison told the Massa- chusetts Library club last week some interesting things about the library at the Wethersfield institution. The equipment of each cell at Weth- ersfleld includes a library catalogue, and also a small slate which contains the prisoner's name and number, and on which he writes the book desired select_from in case his first choice is out. Books may be exchanged twice a week—on Mondays and Fril They may be held for a fortnight. The prison library is maintained by an annual state appropriation of $500 and also by donations of books and magazines, and. exclusive of school books, it now cantains over 7,000 vol- umes, of which 31 per cent. represents works of fiction. The average dally population of the prison last year was 660 and the num- ber of books drawn by the prisoners was 25,220, an average of over 45 books for each convict. If the flliterate and the insane are eliminated, the av- erage number of books drawn by each prisoner was slightly over five each month. Apart from the magazines Shakes- peare’s works were the most popular feature of the library—a striking tribute to the wide appeal which the Bard of Avon makes to the human mind and heart. The other most pop- | ular works In their order, exclusive of certain reference volumes, were Lord's Beacon Lights of History, Booth's Af- ter Prison, What? Cody's Grammar and ‘Word Study, Philpotts’ American Prizoner, Avary’s Virginian Girl in the Civil War and Wister's Virginian. VIOLATED SCHOOL LAW. Newton A.

Deer in Housatonic. One day last week, after the heavy rains had raised the Housatonic river, a large deer attempted to cross the stream near the irgn bridge in Falls Village. The current carried the ani- mal down stream until he came in con- tact with a rock, where he was firmly held_despite his struggles. A number of Falls Village people became aware of the deer's predicament and went to its assistance. One of these citizens Dby climbing out on a tree which ex- tended over the water had nearly reached the animal when in fright it made, a, last vigorous effort to free it- self and was successful, after which it made its way with much difficulty to tho opposite shore and disappeared in the woods.
