(Youths' Companion.) The hardest duty that a soldier is overt-oiled upon to. perform In times of peace and the duty which he dreads the most is the guarding of military prisoners. These are divided into two classes: First—Alarrison prisoners. Who have received light sentences for minor breaches of discipline and will be re- turned to duty in a short time. Second—Military convicts, who for attempted desertion or oher serious miliary crimes have been dishonor- ably discharged by order of a court- martial and have received sentences varying from a few months to several years‘ coniiueuuuit at hard labor, ac- cording in the gravity of the offense. into their ranks the vicious element. or thosewho hold their 0th of enlist- ment too lightly, eventually find their way, Every morning at fatigue call the prisoners are drawn up in a long line in front or the guard house. and sur- rounded by a chain of sentries. 'l‘lu- somber prison garb of the "generals" -milltary convicts were formerly known as “general prisoners"—is marked with gigantic capital "Pa" which render them conspicuous and therefore make escape more dlmculi. Some are evil looking ICIIUWS with long and unsavory records. Doubl- Iess many have "done time" more than once In civil prisons before evading the watchfulncsg of the recruiting of- fit‘or and finding their way into the army. Others are rosy checked lads who in all probability have yet to see their 2lst birthday. and in nine cases out of ten the charge against them is descrtlou. liomcsirkness or restless- ness under military restraint and dis- cipline have led them into the rash act, the heavy penalties of which they may not have fully realized. tn groups of lives and threes and guarded by sentrles with loaded rifles these men perform most of the dis- and menial labor about the army post, which is highly varied in character and may consist of anything from sprinkling the flower beds on the ofileers' lawns to digging ditches for monster sewer pipes. Al- though they generally perform their enforced tasks cheerfully. occasionally a particularly disagreeable piece of work causes a miniature strike and a dozen men may "buck"~that ls. refuse to work. it is then that the historic "bull ring" is resorted to. A huge circle is marked out on the ground slid the malefacters are required to walk around its circumference in indiau file for eight hours a day. preserving ab- solute silence, A 10-minute respite is allowed at noon for a broad and wa- ter lunch. A day or two of this treatment usually suffices to break the most stubborn will. if not there still remains solitary confinement on the bread and water diet, and as a last ro- sort the dungeon. The prison duty is by all odds the grimmcst phase of the soldier's life. He may find himself standing guard over his best friend, with orders to shoot to kill should his man attempt to escape. . The effect of intercourse with mili- tary prisoners Is. it nothing more. very damaging to the morals of the new recruit. and it is most unfortu- hate that some provision hushot been made for transferring this class of evil doors to civil penitentisrica or to some large military prison far removed from the army post.

A farm laborer from the interior on his first visit to London dropped into a small oyster shop where a number of men were eating ruw oysters. The extreme satisfaction displayed on the lures of those about him created Iong~ lugs of a gustatory nature In the new arrival. who edged his way up to the counter in anticipation of eating a real live. juicy oyster. it was the first time he had seen an oyster. and be become at once inter- ested, and when the shellfish had been finally uncusod he proceeded to bal- ance it on the end of his fork. then, with a look of extreme suiisfactlon,‘ gulped it down. "Great Scotti" shouted a man stand. lug near him, “you hawn't swallowed the oyster alive. have you?" There. wns a horrible pause. "That critter will eat right through you!“ shouted another. Hy this time the poor countryman was shaking with fear and horror. lie commenced to have terrible pains in his abdomen and was soon doubled up in his agony. lie begged some one to go for a doctor to get tlie‘tbing out. "He continued to grow worse, when some one suggested that he take a dose of Iabasco notice. which it was claimed would kill ilie object that was creating such terii‘lle commotion. In his internal arrungeuu-ut. lie grasped the boiile Willi nvillity and took a draft, ills e million. which before had been alarming to the vie- tim. now assumed a serious phase to the perpetrators of the hoax. w The man gasped and choked. He became black in the face. and tears were running down his cheeks. when some one thrust a bottle of oil into his mouth and he was forced to drink copious drafts. . The effect was magical. The oyster was evidently "dead." He became more composed, and when he finally recovered his breath he. said: "We killed it. llut when that darn- ed stuff got into my stomach that oys‘ tcr rushed around as if a. shark was after it."
